Bretman Rock on Finding Love, Family Trauma & Getting Hexed
Trigger warning: This episode contains conversations about family trauma and eating disorders. If these topics are difficult for you, feel free to skip or take breaks as needed. 💜Bretman Rock is back on Pretty Basic — in his lover era and wilder than ever! 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)? Buckle up—this one’s a ride, and it’s piping hot.Follow Bretman: https://www.instagram.com/bretmanrock/Listen to Bretman’s Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dabaddest-radio/id1756742882?i=1000661914274Watch Bretman’s Podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@DaBaddestRadioSponsors: Put your water to work with Gatorade Hydration Booster.

Alisha Was Flown Out to Dubai…
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.
