Dear Media

Welcome to Pretty Basic, a weekly podcast hosted by multi-hyphenate creators and best friends, Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz. From TMI conversations about dating to big sister chats on how to feel more confident to the dark reality of influencing; each week you'll be left wanting more "content, baby, content." New episodes every Wednesday!

Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

This week, Alisha sits down with her new roommate (and actress you definitely know), Greer Grammer! 💕 The two spill all about how they met, their first impressions, and what it’s really like living together. From Greer’s ex breaking up with her just two days before Valentine’s Day and her birthday (ouch 😭) to their shared sense of humor and chaotic energy — this one feels like a true girls’ night in.

Greer opens up about growing up with a single mom, not meeting her dad until she was 16, and how she found her way into acting long before knowing her Hollywood roots. The girls also chat about Greer’s time on MTV’s Awkward, starring in Netflix’s #1 movie Deadly Illusions, and what she’s working on now — which might surprise you 👀.

Greer Grammer Tell-All: You May Think You Know Her, But You Don’t

This week, we’re joined by the one and only Thuy 🤍 (and today is her birthday!)

We get real about everything — from growing up Vietnamese in the Bay Area, navigating family expectations, and learning to be proud of who you are… to becoming the first Vietnamese solo artist to perform at Coachella (!!)

We talk about:

The rumors that started at Remi's bachelorette

Cultural pressures + wanting to make your parents proud

Finding confidence when you don’t feel “good enough”

That Coachella moment people still talk about

And the very important story of the swallowed tooth gem

This is one of those heart-hug, laugh-til-you-cry, feels-like-family episodes.

So grab a matcha and come hang with us! 💗

From Med School To Pop Star

This week, Remi’s going solo and getting real about everything she’s been navigating lately — from where she’s at mentally to how she handles negative comments now versus back in the day. She opens up about her ongoing hormonal journey, gives an update from her latest doctor visit (where she got an ultrasound to actually see what’s going on), and breaks down what PCOS really looks like behind the scenes — physically, emotionally, and hormonally.

Remi also shares what a pregnancy plan looks like when you have PCOS, what she needs to prep for, her thoughts on when she wants to have babies, and whether she’s still on a GLP-1. Plus, she gets candid about the frustrations of being a woman and how she’s learning to navigate influencer drama and friendship breakups without breeding negativity.

It’s honest, raw, and so Remi — you won’t want to miss it.

Fertility, Friendships, & Figuring It All Out

Straight from New York City, Remi and Cal are catching you up on their recent travels — from their Midwest adventures in Wisconsin (yes, there were cheese curds involved) to the whirlwind reason they’re in NYC right now and their upcoming Honeymoon! 

It was a Midwest wedding weekend that had it all — think: beer you can only get in Wisconsin, a venue fiasco straight out of a rom-com, and yes… a missing wedding gift. After all, you can take the guy out of Wisconsin, but you can’t take Wisconsin out of the guy!

They chat about Cal’s upcoming color analysis in Korea (place your bets on his color palette in the comments 👀), his signature “pink-ness,” and what it’s really like being part of a bridal party when it’s family — versus just being a guest. Plus, Remi opens up about scheduling “chill time” on their honeymoon, loving a fully booked calendar, and what she’s hooked on now that she’s finished Scandal.

What Really Happened In The Midwest

Find out why Remi and Alisha are flying across the country! ✈️ Between reflecting on the wildest parts of this new PB era, they’re catching you up on everything — from Remi’s upcoming honeymoon plans to Alisha’s house literally looking like a crime scene.

Plus, the girls go down a very unexpected rabbit hole about the science of sunsets, spiral over Wicked conspiracies, and even call Cal in for a very important question. Oh — and of course, they’re talking Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and why it’s officially WAG season.

When People Talk Behind Your Back…

We’re back with a classic Pretty Basic girl chat! 💕 This week, we’re catching you up on what we’ve been up to lately. Alisha gets nostalgic about how Stacie Orrico was her Britney Spears, opens up about resisting those temporary highs, and reminds us all to just breathe (literally and figuratively). Meanwhile, Remi has her ultimate fangirl moment over Katseye, finally finishes Scandal and shares her thoughts, and gets real about watching people jump on trends she’s loved forever as an Asian woman. Oh, and did we mention… the rapture? 👀

The Secret K-Pop Project That Got Cancelled

Pretty Basic Wednesday is BACK! This week, Alisha opens up about her mental health and what really happened behind her recent breakdown. Between the crime-scene vibes at home and her much-needed social media detox, she’s picked up some new habits and discovered the art of romanticizing her life. Meanwhile… SCHOOLISHA RETURNS, but this time at Remi’s alma mater, UCR, and suddenly we’re living our best 21 Jump Street x House Bunny lives. From sneaking around campus to the absolute madness of PR hour, it was simply iconic.

Pretty Basic Goes to College

Another Pretty Basic Wednesday is hereee! Remi kicks things off with a story regarding the insane reason a random stranger was yelling at her. We share about how we found out Tate McRae was actually an OG Alisha Marie fan and Alisha opens up about why she’s taking a social media break, how her mental health has been and the ways ADHD has been playing into her mindset lately.

Taking the Break We Didn’t Know We Needed

Another Pretty Basic Wednesday is here — and this week we cover everything from glam essentials (nails, spray tans, and even The Secret Life of Mormon Wives) to sharing some of our favorite memories from our Atlanta trip —plus a few wild stories we forgot to share from Miami. We dive (almost literally) into our aquarium adventure, Remi’s shockingly unexpected favorite animal, yes, getting kicked out of a restaurant. 

Plus, Remi spills on her airplane food poisoning saga and we discuss the world of YouTube—kids’ content, family vloggers, and the rise (and fall?) of couples channels. And of course… the question everyone wants to know: will we ever see a Cal & Remi channel?
