Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

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!

Bretman Rock is officially back in the Pretty Basic studio, and somehow every time he visits, there's a brand new life update. 💅
This week, Bretman talks the breakup that changed everything, why their Japan trip became a major turning point, and the surprising realization that finally made him choose himself. From dating red flags and finding the confidence to leave a relationship to what he's actually looking for now (hint: someone who can build a chicken coop), nothing is off limits.
Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and get ready for one of the funniest, baddddest, and unfiltered Pretty Basic episodes yet.

This week, it's finally time for the full wedding debrief! 💍 Alisha survived being Maid of Honor... barely. 😅 We spill all the behind-the-scenes chaos from Ashley's wedding, from unexpected emergencies to one wedding nightmare no one saw coming. We're convinced being Maid of Honor deserves its own vacation.
