Straight from New York City, Remi and Cal are catching you up on their recent travels — from their Midwest adventures in Wisconsin (yes, there were cheese curds involved) to the whirlwind reason they’re in NYC right now and their upcoming Honeymoon! It was a Midwest wedding weekend that had it all — think: beer you can only get in Wisconsin, a venue fiasco straight out of a rom-com, and yes… a missing wedding gift. After all, you can take the guy out of Wisconsin, but you can’t take Wisconsin out of the guy!They chat about Cal’s upcoming color analysis in Korea (place your bets on his color palette in the comments 👀), his signature “pink-ness,” and what it’s really like being part of a bridal party when it’s family — versus just being a guest. Plus, Remi opens up about scheduling “chill time” on their honeymoon, loving a fully booked calendar, and what she’s hooked on now that she’s finished Scandal.Sponsors: COLUMBIA: Head to Columbia.com to get your hands on an Amaze Puff jacket — they’retough on cold, soft on you.CASAMIGOS: Hosting your next watch party?

This week on Pretty Basic we’re getting real about sex with special guests Dr. Cory Pedersen (founder of Orgasm Lab) and Amanda Champion (lead researcher). From the psychology behind dick pics (including the recent one Alisha got 👀), to the orgasm gap, to the myths and taboos we all grew up with—nothing is off-limits. We talk about why men send them in the first place, how sexting plays into relationships, and what it really means for intimacy. The conversation also dives into the under-education of anatomy, where female nerve endings actually are, the truth about “size,” and how penis-centric masculinity ties into sexism and narcissism. And yes, we’re covering it all—from frequency of sex, to toys in the bedroom, to nipple-gasms and the many different ways women can orgasm.Discover the study for yourself: https://www.mnscpd.com/FacePicsInsteadGet 20% off Manscaped products with this link: https://www.manscaped.com/prettybasicpodcast See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week’s Pretty Basic is giving exclusive tea and a little bit of therapy. 👀 Alisha may or may not have been the whistleblower on Taylor Swift’s engagement (oops). She’s also in the middle of a real-life love triangle (yes, really), questioning long-distance relationships, and wondering if she’s… a f**boy? We’re exposing her avoidant attachment style, the signs from God she may or may not have received, and why not knowing hurts more than heartbreak itself.Meanwhile, Remi spills on her big Nickelodeon animated debut (!!), and the girls recap their wild weekend in Miami—think drag brunch, yacht days, and plenty of chaos. Oh, and BTW… a major rebrand is happening. Say goodbye to “Alisha Marie” and hello to just “Alisha.” (Sooo sophisticated.)Preorder Let’s Get Cooking by Remi Cruz Parsons: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Lets-Get-Cooking/Remi-Cruz-Parsons/9781668066836Sponsors: Find your perfect apparel and beauty looks and shop back-to-school essentials by visiting https://g.co/shopping/prettybasicBlissy: Get better sleep, hair and skin with Blissy and use PRETTYBASIC to get an additional 30% off at blissy.com/PRETTYBASICHappy Thursday: To find out more and find a Happy Thursday near you visit drinkhappythursday.com/PRETTYBASIC. Skims: Shop my favorite bras and underwear at SKIMS.comFunction: Learn more and join using our link.

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.

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’re breaking down every detail of the weekend — from getting styled to private jets, private chefs and our surreal stay at the Guess Jeans compound (a literal dream).We’re talking pinch-me moments, chaotic nights, and super exclusive after parties with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. Plus, Alisha may or may not have gotten a little too bold (and a little too drunk) sneaking into Charli XCX’s private bathroom... oops. Remi also shares a moment with her PCOS specialist that got us thinking — should she come on the pod?

We’re BACK from our much-needed break and have so much to catch up on! On this week’s episode, Remi takes us through her very affirming psychic reading and how she almost didn’t ask Alisha to be her maid of honor (drama, we know). Alisha opens up about her ADHD struggles and Onyx Storm excitement, while we demand a January do-over. We’re also pulling back the curtain on how creators actually make their money and diving into the wild trend of guys giving themselves vasectomies (because… why?!)
