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

Prepare yourself to hear about the ultimate Dubai experience! Alisha was flown out by Forbes for the World Governments (yes, that) Summit—rubbing elbows with icons like Nara Smith and indulging in the bold flavors of Arabian cuisine. Meanwhile, Remi is deep in Bachelorette Party planning mode (spoiler: jousting may or may not be involved?) and binging a new Netflix show—can you guess which one? Oh, and we are officially heading back to Asia—but this time, we’re not keeping it a secret! Moral of the story? Just say yes… within reason, of course. 😉✨

Alisha Was Flown Out to Dubai…

This week, we're giving you the ultimate Coachella recap — from private jets to emotional spirals and everything in between. Remi fully stepped into her Coachella fairy era, Alisha had a full-on meltdown, and let’s just say… a lot went down in that hot tub. We’re breaking down every detail of the weekend — from getting styled to private jets, private chefs and our surreal stay at the Guess Jeans compound (a literal dream).

We’re talking pinch-me moments, chaotic nights, and super exclusive after parties with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. Plus, Alisha may or may not have gotten a little too bold (and a little too drunk) sneaking into Charli XCX’s private bathroom... oops. Remi also shares a moment with her PCOS specialist that got us thinking — should she come on the pod? And of course, your friendly reminder: ladies, go get your yearly checkups (yes, that means pap smears + breast exams) and take care of yourselves. Did this year’s Coachella live up to the hype? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Our Coachella Recap + What Really Happens At the Exclusive After Parties

On this week’s episode, we’re packing our bags and heading straight into bachelorette chaos, bridal showers, and all things wedding. Remi’s getting all mushy over Cal’s sweetest moments, while Alisha’s out here threatening to spill wine on people. From wild bachelorette ideas to the age-old debate: strippers, yes or no? Plus, we play a little “hot takes” game — girlhood, haters, lazy guys, and why male-dominated podcasts give us the ick. God forbid a girl wants to have fun!!

Our Offensive Hot Takes!

Buckle up, besties—this episode is a wild ride through the most iconic Bachelorette weekend ever: Remi’s bach bash turned accidental brand trip in Vegas! From pre-party brunches to nightclub chaos with Zedd—and yes, Lance Bass—it was nonstop vibes and, dare we say, peak lucky girl syndrome. We spill on everything: the Magic Mike moment that got Alisha on stage, beach club contamination drama, shady Instagram bots, and how past Remi totally looked out for future Romy. Plus, we talk hookups, bachelorette games, and the one new celeb DM Alisha had to unsend. Vegas is a mindset... and after this trip, we may never recover—but we’ll certainly rally for the wedding!

Stay tuned for Remi's iconic Bachelorette swag bag giveaway on @prettybasicofficial instagram!

We Survived Remi’s Bachelorette in Vegas (Barely)

We’re diving into all things love, weddings, and the very real conversations that come with them. From Ashley Benson’s unexpected shoutout (where are our Pretty Little Liars girls at?) to the absolutely insane story of how Remi’s wedding planner ended up in the ER, no topic is off limits—though honestly, are they ever? We’re reflecting on behind-the-scenes moments from Remi’s bridal shower, the emotional toll weddings can take, and why trusting your gut is non-negotiable. Oh, and yes... prenups are on the table. Are Remi and Cal signing one? We’re talking through it all—and why having the hard conversations now might be the best gift you give your future self.

​​Exposing What Men Really Think About You

This week on Pretty Basic, Alisha and Remi are joined by Ashley and Taryne from the Unsolicited Advice podcast for a crossover episode full of sisterly chaos and tactics on how to level up your communication. From Ashley skipping math tutoring to an extremely awkward invasion of “private time” (if you know what we mean ;) . Let’s just say this episode is full of fling-ing and flung-ing and if you don’t quite know what we’re referring to — you will know after you listen.
