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?Google Shopping: Find your perfect apparel and beauty looks and shop back-to-school essentials by visiting https://g.co/shopping/prettybasicTinder: Try the all new Tinder Double Date — because everything’s better with friends.

Does Size Really Matter?

Does Size Really Matter?

This week on Pretty Basic we’re getting real about sex with special guests Dr. Cory Pedersen (founder of Orgasm Lab) and Amanda Champion (lead researcher). From the psychology behind dick pics (including the recent one Alisha got 👀), to the orgasm gap, to the myths and taboos we all grew up with—nothing is off-limits. We talk about why men send them in the first place, how sexting plays into relationships, and what it really means for intimacy. The conversation also dives into the under-education of anatomy, where female nerve endings actually are, the truth about “size,” and how penis-centric masculinity ties into sexism and narcissism. And yes, we’re covering it all—from frequency of sex, to toys in the bedroom, to nipple-gasms and the many different ways women can orgasm.Discover the study for yourself: https://www.mnscpd.com/FacePicsInsteadGet 20% off Manscaped products with this link: https://www.manscaped.com/prettybasicpodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
This week’s Pretty Basic is giving exclusive tea and a little bit of therapy. 👀 Alisha may or may not have been the whistleblower on Taylor Swift’s engagement (oops). She’s also in the middle of a real-life love triangle (yes, really), questioning long-distance relationships, and wondering if she’s… a f**boy? We’re exposing her avoidant attachment style, the signs from God she may or may not have received, and why not knowing hurts more than heartbreak itself.Meanwhile, Remi spills on her big Nickelodeon animated debut (!!), and the girls recap their wild weekend in Miami—think drag brunch, yacht days, and plenty of chaos. Oh, and BTW… a major rebrand is happening. Say goodbye to “Alisha Marie” and hello to just “Alisha.” (Sooo sophisticated.)Preorder Let’s Get Cooking by Remi Cruz Parsons: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Lets-Get-Cooking/Remi-Cruz-Parsons/9781668066836Sponsors: Find your perfect apparel and beauty looks and shop back-to-school essentials by visiting https://g.co/shopping/prettybasicBlissy: Get better sleep, hair and skin with Blissy and use PRETTYBASIC to get an additional 30% off at blissy.com/PRETTYBASICHappy Thursday: To find out more and find a Happy Thursday near you visit drinkhappythursday.com/PRETTYBASIC. Skims: Shop my favorite bras and underwear at SKIMS.comFunction: Learn more and join using our link.

This week on Pretty Basic, things get wildly random (in the best way 👀). Alisha drops a major surprise… and the backstory behind it that you won’t believe. Remi reveals who her very first cookbook customer was, what bizarre black-market item she’s tempted to buy, and how her dogs act out for attention. The girls also go down a spiral of conspiracy theories, share what they’re most excited for on their Miami + Atlanta trip, and of course—Alisha explains the ridiculous reason she got demonetized (and why she’s kind of proud of it).📚 Preorder Remi’s Cookbook, Let’s Get Cooking, here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Lets-Get-Cooking/Remi-Cruz-Parsons/9781668066836Sponsors: Happy Thursday: To find out more and find a Happy Thursday near you visit drinkhappythursday.com/PRETTYBASIC. Cotton: Learn more at TheFabricOfOurLives.comTinder: Try the all new Tinder Double Date — because everything’s better with friends.

Plus, Cal is back for round two of your juiciest Q’s for Men (you guys loved the first one!) — from how he knew he was ready to propose, to the age-old mystery of why guys string girls along, to whether it’s actually possible to be just friends with a guy, and… are guys just bad texters? 👀📚 Preorder Remi’s Cookbook, Let’s Get Cooking, here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Lets-Get-Cooking/Remi-Cruz-Parsons/9781668066836🎥 Missed the first Questions for Men/Cal episode?

This week we’re catching up on everything from our weekends to the most random (but iconic) life updates. Remi shares what it was like growing up as a minority in Orange County, embracing her Asian culture, and even reflecting on little Remi—plus, yes, she’s been thinking about babies lately. Alisha talks about her painting era, her public apology to Katy Perry, and a texting mishap that had us crying laughing.

You know it’s going to be a wild episode when the customs officers get involved. Remi shares the wild story of how she found out she’s allergic to latex—and the weird connection it has to avocados?! Alisha opens up about her (very real) run-in with the law, getting stopped by customs, and allegedly smuggling something illegal into Japan. Plus, we dive into Japanese etiquette, signature scents, and the iconic celeb sighting that totally caught us off guard. You’re not ready for the chaos we unleashed in Japan — with zero regrets (okay… maybe a couple).Soytified: https://www.yelp.com/collection/DsN294DK8dgSXZSNPBeY9A/SOYTIFIED-ALL-TIME-FAVSponsors: Simply Pop: Come vibe with us in a city near you!

Pack your bags and grab a raw egg (trust us)—we’re taking you to Japan with us! From getting champagne-drunk in a purse store to watching Bretman Rock get recognized 30 times a day, this trip was everything. We hit iconic spas, got our minds blown at a maid café, and casually tried a snake venom shot (???). We’re spilling all about Remi’s emotional attachment to a raw egg café, Alisha’s hilariously random river moments, and a birthday surprise that seriously slayed—including a Minions moment we still can’t explain. Plus: Donki chaos, wagyu buffets, vintage GUESS finds, and a bug bite hack that might just change your life.

In the final wedding episode of the season, Remi and Alisha are joined by your fan-favorite wedding planner Jason Rhee for a behind-the-scenes tell-all. From Jason’s near-death hospital scare to ICE unexpectedly showing up at the venue—and yes, even Etsy witchcraft—he spills everything Remi didn’t know was happening behind the scenes. They break down the chaos, what they’d do differently, and share the full story behind creating that iconic Korean night market.

The wedding recap continues! In Part 2 we are sharing all behind-the-scenes chaos—from the emotional love letters and iconic vows to Cal’s locked jaw at the altar and a first look that went hilariously wrong. They’re talking “groomsmen rules”, skipping the sweetheart table, and the story behind how Lana Del Rey joined them on their special day.

The NEWLYWEDS are in the house and giving you the full wedding debrief—joined by Alisha and the iconic flower girl himself, Oli. From the emotional high to the unexpected post-wedding comedown, they’re spilling everything: why they skipped the honeymoon, how Cal blacked out (not for the reason you think), and what really went down after the big day. Remi opens up about changing her last name, crying on camera, and what she actually thinks is worth splurging on. Plus, Cal shares advice for grooms, what the day felt like through his eyes, and how they both realized that it’s not about perfection—it’s about the memories. p.s. join us next week for part 2 of the full wedding debrief!Sponsors: Simply Pop: Get your free ticket now to see us live on the Spill the Pop Tour in Denver on July 31 at cokeurl.com/simplyPOPtour – and visit cokeurl.com/simplyPOP to find out where you can try SimplyPop. Wix: Ready to create your own website?

They did it!! Remi and Cal officially tied the knot this past weekend, and we’re giving you the pre-wedding details — and yes, Cal is here to help us spill all the secrets we’ve been keeping!We’re talking venue, and how they picked the location, Remi’s dress, Cal’s custom tux, their wedding rings, the flowers, the music, live performances, the unique touches, and those secretly intense dance lessons.Oh — and the after-party? Next level. We’ll let you hear the details for yourselves — but yes, Labubus and the Sonny Angels did make the cut (are you even surprised?).You’re not ready.An Important Note:Before we dive in, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the pain and fear impacting so many families and communities right now in the wake of the recent ICE raids. These events are devastating and inhumane—displacing people, tearing apart families, and spreading fear across immigrant communities who are the backbone of this country.

It’s a solo Alisha episode and she’s got a lot to say – from her lifelong insecurity with a facial mole to the body shame she’s faced online, Alisha opens up about body image and how the beauty industry made her feel straight-up ugly. She also dives deep into dating in your 30s vs. your 20s, Peter Pan boys, and the question no one wants to ask: why is he single at 34? Plus, she spills her current hyperfixation, her unhinged fan story, and Hannah Montana secret she's been keeping from all of us....

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.Watch the bridal shower vlogs here: Remi’s vlog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYitC_sK41IAlisha’s vlog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIfp68zxFPo&t=182sSponsors:Taylor Farms: Grab a Taylor Farms chopped salad kit.

Let’s just say... this episode kicks off with a pregnancy scare and only gets more unhinged from there. We dive into all the highs and lows of womanhood — from Remi missing her period just weeks before the wedding to navigating mood swings, period pain, and the wild science of alternating ovaries. She gets candid about taking pregnancy tests and wondering if she’s actually ready for motherhood. We also get into some real talk about dating with zero expectations, being single in your 30s, and boosting serotonin in the weirdest ways. Plus, we chat about meeting fellow PCOS “cysters” and debate the very important topic of Labubu vs. Sonny Angel. It’s raw, relatable, and the kind of girl talk we all need.Sponsors:Taylor Farms: Grab a Taylor Farms chopped salad kit.
