Need some unfiltered big sis energy in your life? This one’s for you.
This week, we’re tackling your juiciest submissions — from not having a “true” best friend in your 20s, to the boyfriend who doesn’t want his girlfriend drinking, to what it’s really like moving out of your parents’ house at 30. Oh, and of course… the mother-in-law drama you know we had thoughts on. 👀 It’s advice time — Pretty Basic style.

0:00.0 | Bonus episode. A very special bonus episode of Pretty Basic. You just can't get rid of us. How do you go about navigating friendship when it feels scary to fully attach or give someone a title like best friend? This literally feels like who says I love you first? A few months ago, he asked me to stop drinking. But he told me that if I don't completely stop, he will break up with me. And Alicia, I can feel she's itching to say something. But we love you. We want the best for you. |
0:01.1 | Do anonymous. |
0:01.8 | Break up with me. And Alicia, I can feel she's itchy to say something. |
0:22.0 | But we love you. And we want the best for you. Do you anonymous? Break up with him. And let's get to |
0:25.8 | this solicited advice. Thank you, Google, for sponsoring this episode. The following podcast is a dear |
0:31.1 | media production. Pretty basic. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome back to Pretty Basic. |
0:39.6 | Hey guys, what's up? |
0:40.6 | Welcome back to Pretty Basic. |
0:41.8 | I'm your co-host, Remy Parsons. |
0:43.3 | And I'm your other co-host, Alicia Marie. |
0:45.4 | Welcome to a bonus episode. |
0:48.3 | A very special, I like the shimmy. |
0:49.5 | A very special bonus episode of Pretty Basic. |
0:52.2 | You just can't get rid of us. |
0:53.8 | No. We have things to yap about |
0:56.5 | and we needed to talk some things out. We just needed some bestie time. So we figured let's come |
1:01.8 | to the studio. Let's do a bonus up. I'm really in my advice era right now. I saw your video that |
1:07.9 | you posted. Thank you. Yes. I did. I posted a main channel video. If you guys remember, when you were gone, I did an episode solo and it got, I didn't even plan what to talk about. I was just in a, that day I was in a yapping mood, but I talked about having ADHD. I talked about being single in my 30s. You guys really seemed to like that. So it's shameless self-promo, I ended up filming a main channel video on my YouTube channel and everyone has been loving it, which meant so much. No, I think that it's really cool. And also so many people are in both of our boats. Like, you know what I mean? Like a lot of people are single in whatever year they're at or a lot of people obviously just got married or in relationships so I think it's really fun especially to have the |
1:46.9 | podcast where it's two so different lives and personalities and journeys and things coming together and |
1:52.6 | I think it's really cool that you give so much advice to people who probably are looking for advice about |

Hopefully you can help someone or whatever because that is the one weird thing with advice. Like obviously life is so different on so many different reasons. There's so many different factors. But we did want to share more advice with you guys. Dare I say no no, I can't say unsolicited advice. It's solicited advice today. It is very solicited because we asked you guys to send in question, so we were the one soliciting you to send in the advice and you willingly are sending us. Or rather, are they soliciting us. They are because they're the ones who are saying, hey, please give us. |
