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 on Pretty Basic, we’re catching you up on everything—because life lately has been A LOT and we are officially in the thick of Vlogmas.

Alisha opens up about some personal health updates, including hormone levels, fertility and recent heart and gut findings, and how it’s all been impacting her day-to-day. She also shares what her family has been going through as her dad deals with ongoing pain and hearing loss—and why Christmas is going to look a little different this year.

We also address the Zalisha rumors head-on (yes, that), talk about Zane spending the holidays with Alisha, and dive into some very Vlogmas-coded moments—including Zara Larsson, a surprising Smosh run-in, and of course… the chaos that is H-Mart gate.

It’s a cozy, honest catch-up episode filled with real life—physically, emotionally, and everything in between—sprinkled with behind-the-scenes stories and a little holiday chaos. Grab your favorite festive drink and come hang with us 🤍🎄✨

Okay, Let’s Talk About Zalisha...

Today on Pretty Basic, we are joined by the ICONIC Mel Robbins — best-selling author, motivational powerhouse, and host of one of the top (and we mean TOP) podcasts in the world.

Mel breaks down what the Let Them Theory actually is, how to use it, and how your perception of control might actually be ruling your life. She dives into the million little things you don’t need to hold onto, the daily habits that transform your energy, and the single most valuable insight you NEED to know to become the best version of you.

And by the end… you’ll understand exactly why you (and your mother) really need to read this book!

Mel Robbins Explains Why You’re Losing Friends + How to Stop Self-Sabotage

We’re fresh out of the theater and giving our honest thoughts on Wicked Part 2 — the moments we loved, the moments we loathed, and everything in between (because you know we’re not holding back).

We’re also spilling on the iconic — and super rare — present we got from the Wicked team that quite literally made us gasp. Plus, Remi shares her full-circle fangirl-turned-friendship moment that proves magic is very real.

Grab your broomstick (or your latte) and buckle up — it’s a wickedly good episode. ✨

This Was… Not What We Expected

We are BACK with Cal for Part 2 of the honeymoon extravaganza — and this week, Remi and Cal take us through their Korean adventures: from Remi fully fangirling over a pop star on their flight to tracking down the legendary street-market vendor Cal discovered years ago on YouTube.

Cal shares his absolute dream day at a Korean head spa, finally reveals his color analysis results, and dives into the newest trend: body analysis.

We get into Korean mall culture, why Baskin Robbins is elite in Seoul and all the Korean-owned brands they fell in love with. Then Remi and Cal hop on a bullet train to Pocheon, where they ultimately discover… their new favorite Korean city?!

Plus: why Remi’s taking progesterone, Alisha calling in from Tokyo with her own travel tea, and of course — their must-try Korean BBQ spot.

The Honeymoon Surprise & Hormones

Guess who’s BACK and more unhinged than ever? We are finally reunited — Remi fresh off her honeymoon and Alisha fresh off the brand trip she was not invited to… so she just crashed it instead. Cal joins the chaos to help recap everything that’s gone down since we were last together, starting with Remi’s honeymoon in Hawaii including where slowing down was harder than expected, We’re talking: unexpected emergencies, the now-legendary pool boy moment, a dramatic room swap, and a good-luck sign that may or may not hint to the future. 

Meanwhile, Alisha shares the chaotic saga of her self-appointed “brand trip”: starting with a Bentley, to her adventures in Kyoto, wild fog machines, the noodle incident, and her pretty epic inner monologue that kepts us all entertained. . She also opens up about mid-flight scare — and why she’s decided this is officially someone else’s problem.

The Honeymoon Fight & What Really Happened in Kyoto

This episode includes discussions of domestic violence, addiction, and heavy mental health topics. Please listen with care or feel free to skip if these topics are triggering for you. 

This week’s guest is a Pretty Basic legend in her own right — Alisha’s mom, Chris! 

From being told “girls don’t play drums” to booking professional gigs at 15, she’s been proving people wrong since day one. Chris opens up about being adopted and the powerful phrase she’s lived by: “I was selected, not expected.” We get into it all — nature vs. nurture, panic attacks, faith, and the journey that made Mama Marie the powerhouse she is today.

This episode is full of those “ohhh that’s where Alisha gets it from” moments. Stay till the end to hear the rockstar Momma Marie in action— with clips of her jamming on the drums.

Alisha’s Mom’s Story — Adoption, Addiction & Panic Attacks

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.
