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.

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.

Alisha Got Plastic Surgery For Remi’s Wedding!
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.

Remi’s Pregnancy Scare & Much Needed Girl Talk
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.
