Advertise on podcast: Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

The girls are yapping, the sibling tea is HOT, and Zane isn’t here to defend himself. We’re joined by Zane’s sister, Hidaya, for a girls’ night full of sibling stories, growing up with a famous brother, her journey to pastry school, the WILD reason she got fired from her job, and the reality of making friends as an adult. Plus, the diva stories Zane would probably rather we keep to ourselves… 👀💕 Sponsors: HINGE: So if you’re putting yourself out there or thinking about getting back into dating, Hinge is definitely worth checking out.

We're jet-lagged and back at our homes yapping! On this week's episode, we're talking Alisha’s never-ending package saga (at this point, even SHE doesn’t know what to do ), life updates, Victoria’s Secret models, and a heartfelt goodbye to a very special family member.

Tokyo diaries continue… ✈️🍣💖 This week, we’re coming to you straight from Japan with a week’s worth of stories: knife shopping, making taiyaki, surviving the most overstimulating experience known to man, debating the true meaning of the buddy system, and why Alisha nearly had her own Bridesmaids moment in white pants. Tokyo, we love you… but your eight-story Don Quijotes may have defeated us. 😂 Sponsors: MACY’S: Visit macys.com to shop online.

Hawaii, Japan, best friends, and absolutely ZERO Adderall… 😂 This week on Pretty Basic, we’re coming to you from Japan and catching you up on our Hawaii adventure — from finally visiting Bretman’s home and all of our favorite Hawaii eats and adventures, to Alisha getting sick and ALL the travel chaos. Because obviously, it wouldn’t be a PB trip without it. ✈️ Sponsors: HINGE: So if you’re putting yourself out there or thinking about getting back into dating, Hinge is definitely worth checking out.

Disney lovers, assemble. ✨ We’re coming to you straight from Disney Springs for a VERY magical BONUS episode of Pretty Basic! We’re recapping our Disney World adventure, from all the shopping and the best Disney food we ate to the rides we survived (and maybe didn’t survive 😅) and a very special blind box unboxing… Disney style. It really is the most magical place on earth!  Visit Disney Springs:  Disney Springs Seasonal Link: https://www.disneysprings.com/fall Disney Springs: https://www.disneysprings.com/ Thank you Disney Springs for sponsoring this episode!

We leave for a trip in 15 HOURS… and somehow we’re sitting here recording a podcast. 😂 This week on Pretty Basic, we’re getting into travel chaos, Disney World, Remi’s unfortunate car ride, Alisha’s hot neighbor (yes, he’s still hot), and the very important question of how anyone is supposed to pack when you have approximately zero time. We also get into a surprisingly deep conversation about ADHD in dating, relationships, and rejection sensitivity — including why rejection can hit SO much harder when you have ADHD and how that can show up in your relationships. We chat about the idea of finding systems that actually work for your brain instead of constantly trying to force yourself to function like everyone else. And of course, there’s Miami, a train ride, and the infamous Shake Shack burger redemption story we all knew you were waiting for, plus the reveal of where we’re headed next… Get ready for a LOT of yapping before we hop on a plane. ✈️ Sponsors: HINGE: So if you’re putting yourself out there or thinking about getting back into dating, Hinge is definitely worth checking out.

A brand deal of a LIFETIME, a hot neighbor, and a whole lot of “wait… WHAT?!” ✨ This week on Pretty Basic, we’re getting into the wild world behind the scenes of podcasting, the business moves you don’t see, and what happens when you start feeling a little… taken advantage of. We’re also deep-diving into Alex Cooper’s Unwell Productions, the allegedCharli D’Amelio money drama we heard through the grapevine 👀, and all our thoughts on IRL Meets World. Plus, Alisha gives us the latest on her BookTok era, shares what she’s currently reading, and reveals how she discovered that she has a VERY hot new neighbor (and, more importantly, WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT IT?!). And because we can never escape reality TV… we’re getting into The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives too.

No matter what anyone says, we’re entering FALL, simply because September has an apple next to it. 🍎 AND Romy and Losh are back… and they won’t ever be stopped. However, we’re here to confirm that, in fact, nothing good happens after 2AM. Remi recaps how she ended up in a random room and why things are a little fuzzy. We chat about stalkers, progesterone, Alisha’s current obsession, and her thoughts on Practical Magic 2.

Friendship breakups, cheating scandals, and a LOT of “girl… WHAT?” 😳 This week on Pretty Basic, we’re unpacking all the Megan Plays drama, a pet story none of us saw coming, and what happens when you grow apart from your friends. After all, maybe we should start treating friendships like we do relationships. Plus, Remi shares the new show she’s watching (and OBSESSED with)… and honestly, you should probably just watch it too.

We’re in our take care of ourselves season… allegedly. This week on Pretty Basic, we’re talking all things health, hormones, and what it actually looks like to prioritize yourself. Alisha opens up about navigating her PMDD diagnosis, learning to stop minimizing her own symptoms, and why sometimes you have to trust your gut when something just doesn’t feel right. We’re talking hormones, mental health, period tracking, the TikTok-to-doctor pipeline, and the importance of advocating for yourself when it comes to your health. Plus, Remi gets candid about getting back into therapy, prioritizing her physical and mental health, and the steps she’s taking to work through things before starting a family. Basically, it’s learning about hormones, therapy, motherhood, unsolicited TikTok medical advice, and two women realizing that taking care of yourself is actually… kind of important? Who knew? content warning: as this episode discusses depression, mental health, PMDD, and difficult thoughts. Please take care while listening.

This week on Pretty Basic, we’re talking about Remi's career change, how she broke someone’s Tesla, and peak quintessential girlhood— because apparently all it takes is friends, lychee martinis and a bag obsession. Plus, we’re getting into the discourse surrounding why the internet seems determined to critique women (on absolutely everything!). And of course, we have to talk about that one girl who swooped in, killed and stole her man. Like whattt?! 👀 Sponsors: HINGE: Try Hinge’s new feature, Friend’s Take.

We’re back at home, baby! This week on Pretty Basic, we’re getting back to the roots of the pod and catching up on everything we missed while living our separate lives. Alisha recaps her absolutely insane trip to Chicago—including a nightmare travel day, flood warnings, why her bill totaled $1,400 (!!!) and how she somehow ended up in a DJ’s green room. Plus, we’re talking Pop Culture! Basically, it’s giving old Pretty Basic… with slightly better production value. Sponsors: HINGE: Try Hinge’s new feature, Friend’s Take.

This week, we're getting very real. We open up about why Pretty Basic has felt different lately, the honest conversations we've been having behind the scenes, and why we almost thought it might be the end of the podcast as we know it. (Don't panic—we're evolving, not disappearing.) Then we catch you up on everything from our first-ever at-home recording setup to a dramatic breakup-fueled night out and a husband who literally saluted Remi into battle. We also unpack Alisha's most unhinged dream yet... yes, you heard that right... involving Disneyland (of course), a drag queen (we love), Rihanna (iconic), and way too many turkey legs (because why not?). Basically... we're bringing Pretty Basic back to its roots—and taking you along! Sponsors: LOWES: Visit lowes.com/delivery to learn more.

This week, we're getting real about the workout slump, wellness, and Alisha's crazy house situation that sent her into a full-blown spiral. From trusting your gut and who your dog(s) like to convincing yourself you should move to New York... or maybe Japan, we're unpacking (or packing up) everything.
