    Addressing The Weirdos On The Internet

    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.

    Alisha’s Chicago Bender + Dishonest Beauty Brands

    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.

    An Honest Heart To Heart About The Future of Pretty Basic

    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.

    Remi Got Scammed + Alisha’s Secret Family

    This week on Pretty Basic, it's one of those episodes where we somehow cover everything and absolutely nothing at the same time. 💖 Alisha's been hosting her family from Japan, Remi gets absolutely humbled by a six-year-old (like... fully outplayed), and we're officially entering the era of realizing our TV crushes are now... too young for us. Cool! Love that! We're also chatting celebrity sightings, why auntie life is low-key the best life, and all the random tangents that somehow become our favorite conversations. Grab your emotional support drink, a little treat, and come catch up with your internet besties. 🫶✨ Sponsors: LULULEMON: Shop at lululemon.com.
