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?

Important Message:

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. These events are devastating and inhumanedisplacing people, tearing apart families, and spreading fear across immigrant communities who are the backbone of this country. Remi is a proud daughter of immigrants, and we stand with those affected. Our hearts are with you. This episode was recorded prior to these tragic events, but well be sharing more about this on next weeks episode.

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.

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.

We’re basically New Yorkers now… well, kinda. We’re dishing on all the NYC chaos — from our favorite hidden gems to Cal’s full-on panic attack that ended with a missed flight (you truly can’t make this stuff up). Cal and Oli eventually made it to the city, and Cal decided to go big with his biggest purchase ever. We also got to meet YouTube’s CEO (casual) and speak at the iconic NewFronts event in front of the top execs in the industry! You can’t stop these OG YouTubers 😉

Buckle up, besties—this episode is a wild ride through the most iconic Bachelorette weekend ever: Remi’s bach bash turned accidental brand trip in Vegas! 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 spill on everything: the Magic Mike moment that got Alisha on stage, beach club contamination drama, shady Instagram bots, and how past Remi totally looked out for future Romy. Plus, we talk hookups, bachelorette games, and the one new celeb DM Alisha had to unsend. Vegas is a mindset... and after this trip, we may never recover—but we’ll certainly rally for the wedding!

Stay tuned for Remi's iconic Bachelorette swag bag giveaway on @prettybasicofficial instagram!
