Dear Media

Welcome to Pretty Basic, a weekly podcast hosted by multi-hyphenate creators and best friends, Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz.

New episodes every Wednesday!

Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

On this week’s episode of Pretty Basic, Remi is joined by her fiancé, Cal, for a hilarious dive into the male psyche. They’re spilling guy secrets you’ve always wondered about but never dared to ask—like what really gives them the ick, why they secretly love taking orders, and whether they actually think about nothing (spoiler: maybe).From breadcrumbing and "rosters" to interracial dating and juicy sex Q&A (yes, post-nut clarity included), it’s the ultimate crash course in decoding dudes.

​​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.

​​Help! I’ve Outgrown My Best Friend with Ashley and Taryne

It’s a holly jolly advice fest as Ashley and Taryne return for part two of Pretty Basic’s Christmas Spectacular! The girls spill tea on everything from navigating friends with benefits to Remi’s enneagram plot twist. They’re serving up tips on finding love (without swiping), making friends, anxious thoughts and telling your BFF they’re tragically eyebrow-blind—all while juggling your friends with benefits and existential 30s crises. Grab your cocoa; it’s about to get festive and unsolicited!

Make 2025 the Year You Achieve Your Goals + Dream Life with this Manifestation Formula ft. Mimi Bouchard

We’re BACK from our much-needed break and have so much to catch up on! 

On this week’s episode, Remi takes us through her very affirming psychic reading and how she almost didn’t ask Alisha to be her maid of honor (drama, we know). Alisha opens up about her ADHD struggles and Onyx Storm excitement, while we demand a January do-over. We’re also pulling back the curtain on how creators actually make their money and diving into the wild trend of guys giving themselves vasectomies (because… why?!) And of course, we’re asking the real questions—should Remi’s bachelorette theme be Brides & Botox?! Oh, and don’t worry, we’re also making space for labia puffs in 2025. Buckle up, it’s a good one!

Alisha Was Almost Not Remi's Maid of Honor!

Buckle up, besties, because this week’s Pretty Basic is pure chaos in the best way! We’re talking Grammy rule-breaking (oops, we LIED), Remi’s accidental flashing, and a surprise run-in that left Alisha shook. Plus, spicy book recs (we LOVE the smut), fantasy castings (Fourth Wing, anyone?), and a little DM sliding. Oh, and did Korean BBQ almost induce labor?! From birthday shenanigans to Sabrina Carpenter’s lowkey obsession with Remi—this episode is iconic behavior at its finest!

How to Plan a Wedding w/ Remi’s Celebrity Wedding Planner

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. 😉✨
