Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

Tokyo diaries continue… ✈️🍣💖 This week, we’re coming to you straight from Japan with a week’s worth of stories: knife shopping, making taiyaki, surviving the most overstimulating experience known to man, debating the true meaning of the buddy system, and why Alisha nearly had her own Bridesmaids moment in white pants.
Tokyo, we love you… but your eight-story Don Quijotes may have defeated us. 😂

Hawaii, Japan, best friends, and absolutely ZERO Adderall… 😂 This week on Pretty Basic, we’re coming to you from Japan and catching you up on our Hawaii adventure — from finally visiting Bretman’s home and all of our favorite Hawaii eats and adventures, to Alisha getting sick and ALL the travel chaos. Because obviously, it wouldn’t be a PB trip without it. ✈️

Disney lovers, assemble. ✨ We’re coming to you straight from Disney Springs for a VERY magical BONUS episode of Pretty Basic! We’re recapping our Disney World adventure, from all the shopping and the best Disney food we ate to the rides we survived (and maybe didn’t survive 😅) and a very special blind box unboxing… Disney style.
It really is the most magical place on earth!

We leave for a trip in 15 HOURS… and somehow we’re sitting here recording a podcast. 😂 This week on Pretty Basic, we’re getting into travel chaos, Disney World, Remi’s unfortunate car ride, Alisha’s hot neighbor (yes, he’s still hot), and the very important question of how anyone is supposed to pack when you have approximately zero time.
We also get into a surprisingly deep conversation about ADHD in dating, relationships, and rejection sensitivity — including why rejection can hit SO much harder when you have ADHD and how that can show up in your relationships. We chat about the idea of finding systems that actually work for your brain instead of constantly trying to force yourself to function like everyone else.
And of course, there’s Miami, a train ride, and the infamous Shake Shack burger redemption story we all knew you were waiting for, plus the reveal of where we’re headed next… Get ready for a LOT of yapping before we hop on a plane. ✈️

A brand deal of a LIFETIME, a hot neighbor, and a whole lot of “wait… WHAT?!” ✨ This week on Pretty Basic, we’re getting into the wild world behind the scenes of podcasting, the business moves you don’t see, and what happens when you start feeling a little… taken advantage of. We’re also deep-diving into Alex Cooper’s Unwell Productions, the allegedCharli D’Amelio money drama we heard through the grapevine 👀, and all our thoughts on IRL Meets World.
Plus, Alisha gives us the latest on her BookTok era, shares what she’s currently reading, and reveals how she discovered that she has a VERY hot new neighbor (and, more importantly, WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT IT?!). And because we can never escape reality TV… we’re getting into The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives too.
