We’re back at home, baby! This week on Pretty Basic, we’re getting back to the roots of the pod and catching up on everything we missed while living our separate lives. Alisha recaps her absolutely insane trip to Chicago—including a nightmare travel day, flood warnings, why her bill totaled $1,400 (!!!) and how she somehow ended up in a DJ’s green room. Plus, we’re talking Pop Culture! Basically, it’s giving old Pretty Basic… with slightly better production value. Sponsors: HINGE: Try Hinge’s new feature, Friend’s Take.
