Inner Childish

Your besties are back, and this one is a full yap. No agenda, no topic, just Vic and Aubrey with the world as their oyster. You'll hear about the eighth grade DC trip that almost ended two very promising futures, the scrunchie that has Aubrey questioning whether she and Vic are actually sisters, and what happens when Vic decides she's not a quitter at 13 weeks pregnant. They get into how to get the men in your life to actually open up, why "the belly is bellying" is the highest compliment you can give a pregnant friend, and the brand drama Aubrey swore she was going to let lay. Then it's Star 67, where one caller is stressing about a bachelorette trip nobody is planning and another just wants permission to dye her hair, and Something Beautiful.

Aubrey is calling in from a hospital bed with ultrasound gel as her mic, and she is sharing live with Victoria what went down. What follows is the full account of an emergency room visit that escalated from "please go now" to a wide-awake colonoscopy in about ninety minutes, complete with a doctor who looked like he had been on Love Island, a nurse who played Chappell Roan so she could dissociate, and the “something beautiful” that came from it. Then, because this is still a bestie catch-up, the two of them get into the thing underneath all of it: how much of your life you actually owe the people watching it. Victoria admits how hard it can be to not care about people on the internet’s opinion, and how she’s letting her life guide her content instead of the other way around. Aubrey shares about the pregnancy no-no’s she doesn’t care about owning and whether or not she has a favorite baby name. Keep tuning in every Tuesday for the raw content from your internet besties you won’t find anywhere else!

Vic is pregnant! And the first person to find out was not her husband. This week your besties tell you everything: you'll hear how they ended up trying to conceive at the exact same time, what it actually felt like to be the pregnant one while your best friend was still waiting, and Aubrey's soapbox on the single most infuriating piece of advice anyone gives a woman who is trying. They get into the two books that ran their whole trying to conceive era, Taking Charge of Your Fertility and Expecting Better, and everything they did to prepare for this next chapter. Vic also gets honest about the part nobody warns you about, the miscarriage anxiety in those first weeks, the worst pregnancy symptoms she’s had, plus the four affirmations she still says to her baby. Then Star 67 rings twice, and gives Vic and Aubrey a chance to help someone work through if they want to have kids or not. Subscribe and follow so you never miss an episode!

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. Nothing in it is medical advice and neither of us is telling you to go do this.

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. Consider this your new favorite hour of the week. Subscribe and follow so you never miss an episode!
