Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

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. Let’s just say… if you thought Part 1 was magical, you haven’t heard anything yet.Sponsors: Simply Pop: Denver tickets available now!

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. Remi is a proud daughter of immigrants, and we stand with those affected. Our hearts are with you.

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.

We’re basically New Yorkers now… well, kinda. We’re dishing on all the NYC chaos — from our favorite hidden gems to Cal’s full-on panic attack that ended with a missed flight (you truly can’t make this stuff up). Cal and Oli eventually made it to the city, and Cal decided to go big with his biggest purchase ever. We also got to meet YouTube’s CEO (casual) and speak at the iconic NewFronts event in front of the top execs in the industry!

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!Sponsors:Taylor Farms: Grab a Taylor Farms chopped salad kit.

This week on Pretty Basic, Alisha is joined by a very special guest—her newly engaged sister, Ashley! We’re spilling all the behind-the-scenes moments from Ashley’s dream proposal, including how Alisha played a hand in delaying it altogether. From signs from the universe (hello, ladybug!) to the chaotic way Alisha and her manager got Ashley to the big moment, nothing is off-limits. We also dive into the emotional spirals of the “waiting season,” Ashley’s big crash-out moment, and all the little details that made the engagement unforgettable. Oh—and did we mention we went to a Beyoncé concert?

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.
