Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

WARNING: OUR VOICES. This episode was recorded in August 2019 and we were so little and thought we had it all figured out. Oh man were we wrong. Four-and-a-half years, a pandemic, and an engagement later, we get to listen to this episode and cringe with all of you. Picture this – the summer of Remi has just ended and she officially announces that she is dating Cal. Alisha has just returned from a family trip and she reflects on her relationship with food and her body image. Here’s to growing up together. We hope you enjoy our last episode of Season 5 and we’ll see you for the premiere of Season 6 on 1/31!
