Inner Childish

Inner Childish is what happens when two lifelong best friends hit record on the conversations they’ve been having since childhood: honest, hilarious, and never surface-level. Through their 25 years of friendship, viral content creators Victoria & Aubrey have evolved a hundred times and somehow never outgrew the need to debrief every single thing together. Inner Childish is part sleepover conversation, part therapy session, and part voice memo you were never supposed to hear. New episodes every Tuesday!

We Took Psychedelic Mushrooms: Spirit Guides, Hellscapes, & Epiphanies We’ll Never Forget
Two psychedelic mushroom trips, two wildly different experiences, and none of it has ever left the group chat until now. First, you'll get a bestie catch-up covering the parts of pregnancy absolutely nobody warns you about, and the Crunchwrap Supreme that nearly ended a 25 year friendship. Then, Vic and Aubrey are finally telling you everything: how they each decided to do mushroom therapy, what they wanted out of it, and what actually happened once the eye mask went on. One of them met her spirit guides and came out with something she hasn't stopped thinking about since. The other one spent four hours in a textbook D.A.R.E. hellscape and came out with an answer she wasn't looking for. Would they do it again? Tune in to find out. Plus the very first Star 67 call in, where an anonymous listener walks us through her hard-won realization about being a shy pooper. This one starts on a bathroom floor and ends somewhere you won't see coming. Subscribe and follow so you never miss an episode! This episode includes detailed discussion of psilocybin use.

Welcome to Inner Childish! 25 Years of Lore, A Loving Roast, & Our Villain Origin Stories
Inner Childish is what happens when two lifelong best friends hit record on the conversations they’ve been having since childhood: honest, hilarious, and never surface-level. Through their 25 years of friendship, Vic & Aubs have evolved a hundred times and somehow never outgrew the need to debrief every single thing together. Inner Childish is part sleepover conversation, part therapy session, and part voice memo you were never supposed to hear. Up first: why they started the show, how they landed on the name, and what to expect every Tuesday. You'll get the origin story of their 25 year friendship (yes, they were childhood neighbors born three days apart) and you'll really get to know your hosts through a Mad Libs roast covering who would thrive and who maybe wouldn't survive a zombie apocalypse, toxic traits, villain origin stories, and the things only a best friend would know. Vic and Aubrey also preview two new segments: Star 67, an anonymous call-in line where you can tell them anything, and Something Beautiful, a weekly reminder to notice one good thing in your day.
