In this chaotic, laugh-until-you-cry episode, he shares the wildest family stories from his childhood in the Philippines, opening up about discovering his dad’s affair, becoming the breadwinner at just 13, the challenges of discussing mental health with foreign moms, and what motivated him throughout it all. Plus, he drops the sweetest (and most unexpected) tea about his relationship, reveals his iconic first DM slide, and takes us inside his exclusive love story. Oh, and did we mention breastfeeding a monkey, a chicken funeral, his very real hex from his ex—and why he’s calling out people for kissing their cousins (yes, really)?

Prepare yourself to hear about the ultimate Dubai experience! Alisha was flown out by Forbes for the World Governments (yes, that) Summit—rubbing elbows with icons like Nara Smith and indulging in the bold flavors of Arabian cuisine. Meanwhile, Remi is deep in Bachelorette Party planning mode (spoiler: jousting may or may not be involved?) and binging a new Netflix show—can you guess which one? Oh, and we are officially heading back to Asia—but this time, we’re not keeping it a secret! Moral of the story? Just say yes… within reason, of course. 😉✨DJI Osmo 3 Camera: https://bit.ly/43aPZqZSponsors: Visit PremierProtein.com and go to “Where to Buy” to find a retailer near you or find where to buy online.

Buckle up, besties, because this week’s Pretty Basic is pure chaos in the best way! We’re talking Grammy rule-breaking (oops, we LIED), Remi’s accidental flashing, and a surprise run-in that left Alisha shook. Plus, spicy book recs (we LOVE the smut), fantasy castings (Fourth Wing, anyone?), and a little DM sliding. Oh, and did Korean BBQ almost induce labor?! From birthday shenanigans to Sabrina Carpenter’s lowkey obsession with Remi—this episode is iconic behavior at its finest!Alisha’s OOTD: House of CB Top: https://bit.ly/4gzFErJUrban Outfitters Skirt: https://bit.ly/3Qd8ByN (similar) Dolce Vita Cowboy Boot: https://bit.ly/4jQ2jTsRemi’s OOTD: Norma Kamali Top: https://bit.ly/3EHK821Outkast Skirt: https://bit.ly/4aTDcLjDolce Vita Black Suede Boot: regular https://bit.ly/42R8mkO wide calf https://bit.ly/4hSifmhSponsors: Visit Rakuten.com or download the Rakuten app to start saving today, your cash back really adds up!

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?!) And of course, we’re asking the real questions—should Remi’s bachelorette theme be Brides & Botox?! Oh, and don’t worry, we’re also making space for labia puffs in 2025. Buckle up, it’s a good one!Sponsors: Check out the Fits Everybody Collection at https://www.Skims.com/PrettyBasic #skimspartnerPut your water to work with Gatorade Hydration Booster.
