This is an I-Heart podcast. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier.

Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the. iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? Answer, a new podcast called Wisecrack, where a comedian finds himself at the center of a chilling true crime story. Does anyone know what show they've come to see? It's a story.

It's about the scariest night of my life. This is Wisecrack, available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I always have to be so good, no one could ignore me. Carve my path with data and drive. But some people only see who I am on paper. The paper ceiling. The limitations from degree screens to stereotypes that are holding back over 70 million stars.

Brought to you by Opportunity at Work and the Ad Council. Hello, Bachelor Nation, Happy Hour listeners. Thank you guys for tuning in again. We hope you are all healthy and happy during this time trying to stay safe. I know it's a very weird time that we're still obviously in quarantine.

And Rachel and I are coming at you in our closets, which I like to call quarantine chic. But we have some news that will hopefully brighten everyone's day out there. Yeah, guys, you know, we say we want to continue to give you this podcast. We want to bring you some normalcy, some life, and just some Becca and Rage, because we know you guys love it. But today we have some really exciting news and even more exciting guests to share with you guys today. You know, on the official Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, well, it's official Bachelor podcast. We're called Bachelor Happy Hour. We always bring you new and exciting things, and today is no exception.

And if you're like, Becca and I, you've probably watched everything there is on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, wherever you're streaming things. Unless you're like Becca and you haven't watched Tiger King, which is a whole other discussion that we have to get it to. This week is happening. It better. But so you're probably in desperate need of a really good show to watch. So you're welcome, Batsynation. You're in luck. Because we got you. Don't we, Becca?

We do. Let me give you a drum roll here, Rach. Brough! So Bachelor Nation, we are officially, stays away from the premiere of our brand new Bachelor franchise show. Listen to your heart. Now, we've seen Chris Harrison talk about it a little bit on some teasers here and there, but no one really quite knows what to expect.

And before we tell you all about it and who our special guests are, we want to share some more about the show and what you guys can have to look forward to in this next week. And so I'm personally so excited for everyone to see this. Rach, you and I talked last week while we were actually on Instagram live about how, you know, Bachelor seems to bring people together. And as we know, Claire's season of The Bachelor is currently postponed, but at least we have one more show that can kind of bring people together and get us connected again, talking about something in the Bachelor world.

And so for those of you who don't know what listen to your heart is, it's kind of like a mix between a dating show and a music competition. So think of Bachelor Meets a Star is Born, which, of course, it's a movie. I hope most people have seen and loved and cried over. I mean, I watched a Star is Born with my future father-in-law, and I have never seen him cry. And he was sobbing so hard at the end of it that he walked into the women's bathroom not realizing that it was. was the women's bathroom. And so it's going to be a hybrid between those two shows. And I cannot wait because, you know, as a typical bachelor fashion, it has the glitz and the glam and the mansions and the row ceremonies. But basically, Chris invited 20 single musicians from all over

the country, much like the show. And they're all looking to find their musical counterpart, not only in love, but also in music as well. And so it's going to be very exciting to watch, a new spin on the show that we have all grown up loving and watching, which is The Bachelor. And so, I mean, you obviously know better than anyone what to expect because you were there for some of it. You saw some of it go down. And I cannot wait to get your take on this because I know you have some strong feelings about this show. I have strong feelings about everything. That is true. But I love the segue that you gave me to talk about this because obviously I can't discuss my experience on the show. You're just going to have to watch it. But I think it's

one of those things where you think you know, but you have no idea. It's, you think, oh, is it like a star is born? Oh, is it Bachelor versus American Idol? It's something like you've never seen before. And I think this is what Bachelor Nation really needs because you hear people say, oh, maybe they're a little tired of the same format, the same type of contestants that come on the show. Well, it's almost as if the franchise heard you and they're bringing you something different, not just in Bachelor franchise, but something different period that's on TV. And you know, you're getting it all

in the show, which, without trying to give too much, you know, you've got the love, the drama, the music, the energy. It's just, it's so good. But yes, Brian and I were on the show. We were on one of the episodes. Of course, I can't tell you exactly how, but I wasn't the only person from Bachelor Nation that was

on the show. They had, Jojo was there, Jordan, Ari and Lauren, Caitlin and Jason were also there. You've probably seen some of that on the previews, if you've been lucky to catch that. And then also there's celebrity judges. And I don't mean like, you know,

I don't want to attach a letter to someone, like an A, a B, or C list celebrity, but I have to because these are A-list celebrity judges that they had come on this show. So you're getting a bit of everything. And in addition to the romance and the music, we know that it wouldn't be a Bachelor nation show without a little bit of drama.

So I can promise you you'll expect to see that. I even saw it on my little time on the show. Yes, definitely did. And the drama honestly starts with the first episode. It wasn't it good back then? It was so good. I, and it's kind of, I don't want to sound cheesy here when I say this, but it's kind of magical because for so long, I mean, you watch Bachelor season and Bachelorette seasons.

And now that we are removed from the show, we went through it, we've done it. it kind of lost a little bit of its luster because I know everything that goes down behind the scenes. And so I'm watching, listen to your heart with a fresh set of eyes, not having any idea what to expect. And so it's magical again. I mean, Garrett and I watched it the other night over dinner and some wine. And we were hooked right away. It's just, it's special. I really think people just have to tune in to see it for themselves because it's just, I mean, I watch it and I'm jealous because I'm a terrible singer. But there's just these new little pieces and elements to the show that just makes it really special and fun and intriguing. And I think one of my favorite parts about

it is that, like I said, a little bit ago, there's 20 single musicians from all over the country and they all have different music styles. There's country singers. There's pop singers. There's some soul and folk. You really get such a wide variety. And so that was, I think, in this very first episode, one of my favorite things to watch was, you know, who's going to be in this genre, who's going to belt it out with this type of music? And so, I mean, I'm very jealous when I watch them because I cannot hold a key to save my life. But it's intriguing. And Rachel, you and I know more than anyone, how kind of crazy it is to put yourself out there and go on a show in the hopes to fall in love. And we live through it so we can feel for these people. And you start to kind of

relationships form right away, like even the first night. And so I was kind of taking a walk down memory lane, remembering, you know, like the nerves that you have or the feelings that you have. And so I think that I'm sure that's something that you, as one of the guests on the show, witnessed firsthand. Yeah, because it's not just about finding love, which is what we're typically used to. It's also about finding your partner in music and your partner, or maybe even in a career after this. And so it's, there's just so many levels to it. And I'm like, you. I was totally jealous when I was watching the show. Wait, no. First, something you said was that it's new and we haven't seen anything like it, but I also love that we don't know these

people. We don't know their stories. We didn't see them on another season. Um, well, actually, there's one guy, but that's, we can talk about that later. I need to know who. What? There's, there's one guy. Not Bachelor related. Okay. But there is one guy. But I think that's what's so, it's refreshing. And it's just like a nice take in light of everything that's going on. I'm so excited. for not just bachelination but you know everybody to watch the show and really kind of get to see what we've already seen a bit um i just i just couldn't imagine stand and i thought this too when i was when i was watching the show or i was on the episode i couldn't imagine having to you know you kiss in front of the cameras you have to have these intimate conversations and go deep in front of the camera but then you have to sing and play instruments and connect on in that way i i just I just can't explain anything like it. There was something, oh, oh, oh, jealousy. You talked about being jealous.

I made a list, Becca. I made a list of the things that I'm jealous about with this show. Because I think a lot of people say, oh, this is the official Bachelor Nation podcast. So, of course, they're pumping up a show that's done by the Bachelor franchise. That's not the case here. We want to actually podcast about this show,

and you will want to tune in every single week to hear about it because it's just that good. We aren't doing them a favor. Honestly, they're doing us a favor by giving us something new and good to watch. But watching this show, I am totally jealous of the mansion. Okay, they do live in a mansion. It is not the same mansion that we live in. I've spoken about this before.

I'm not a fan of the bachelor mansion. This is a new mansion. It's beautiful. It looks really clean. It is stunning. Yeah. And the views look really good. Like, the aesthetics are very beautiful.

they have are able to bring the date because I don't want to give too much away but dates to the actual mansion you see that happen there are less people which is always a beautiful thing and it's a unisex household so you know you don't have the energy of all these women or all these men

it's just it's evenly balanced as you said it's less people you know because when you start when you show usually to the bachelor bachelor at seasons night one you have like 30 about 30 contestants plus the bachelor This is like less than that, but then the mansion is twice the size, it seems like, of the actual mansion. I'm like, damn, we could have some fun in this place.

I know, I know. All I kept thinking, too, was, and I've said this before, so I'm really interested in your take on this. I love music, and I love to sing. I probably annoy Brian. I sing all the time. I couldn't be on this show. I've never heard you sing. But I sing all the time.

I just, I love music. Yeah. I love Broadway, all of it. So anyways, when I was watching the show, I always thought, and I've thought this before, I could never date a musician. Because I'm just so into music that the man could do no wrong. He would just sing something to me and I'd be like, it's okay, honey. Oh, can you do this for me? And I'd say, no, I don't feel like it. And then he starts singing and I'd be like, whatever you want. Whatever you want. Whatever you like. I just could never date a musician. Have you ever dated one? one before? Well, I don't know if this counts, but in eighth and ninth grade of high school, I dated a musician and he performed in the Battle of the Bands. So if Al Kelly is out there listening, which I'm sure he is not. That's the only musician I've ever dated, though. You know what? I agree. I don't think I could only because I, like you, Rachel, I love music. I'm not a good singer. I will do it all the time and just annoy the crap out of Garrett, but I'm not good. But I, one of my favorite things to do ever is go to concerts. And so, like, even before pre-quarantine days,

like if we were bored with Garrett or my friends, I'd be like, oh, it's a random Tuesday. Let's see what concerts are in the area. So we would just, like, get last minute tickets and go. And just seen, like, the lifestyle. And trust me, I know what it's like very minimally to live on a tour bus. I don't think I could do it. I think it'd be too hard, especially when, like, you know, You did live on a bus. I did, but only for, like, a month. I can't imagine, like, crossing the country for months at a time, performing each and every night and, like, giving it your all.

But here's the thing. Like, after all the concerts I've gone to and seeing people throw themselves at the lead singer, it doesn't even matter who the lead singer is. Like, people get into that concert vibe, and they just, like, love whoever's on stage and throw themselves at them. I don't think I could do it. I would get too jealous if I was at home, like, seeing what was. was going down. I just, I wouldn't like it. I, um, my girlfriends and I used to always be like,

mm, he could sing the panties off me. That's how I feel. That's how. Wait, Rach, I have to ask, have you ever been to a concert? Have you been that girl to throw your bra on stage? No, but I have been that girl who was chosen from the stage. To go up there? Wait. For the after party. Oh, yeah, yeah. I actually heard a story. I was going to ask, I was going to ask if you've ever had a groupie moment, but what are you about, what are you about to say? No, well, I was going to say, I'm not going to name any names because I don't want to give them away, but one of the girls that I was on the tour with, I asked her like how she got started in the tour life because she was all over with concerts and with Broadway shows.

And she said that she got started because when she was 15, she snuck out of her house, drove like two hours, I think, to go to some concert, and I don't remember who it was. And the drummer was obviously banging on the drums. The drumstick flew out of his hand. hit her in the forehead and she's like I probably should have went to the hospital and gotten stitches but she didn't so instead she got

to make up for it the guys were like oh you want to come backstage with us and hang out after and she's like so I did and it was fine but not realizing like I probably should have had stitches after that but she was 15 I'm like that is quite the story but stitches there's so many illegal things that just happened right there and that story that you told

no I know that's what I'm not going to name any names I want to know after No, but I don't think Oh, well, Garrett and I did actually It was right after we Ended filming or airing our show when we were finally in public, we were at a concert

And I don't remember, it was some country concert And we, they asked us to go backstage and Garrett Garrett was so drunk By this point that he just started helping himself to like the band's mini bar And like I looked over and he's just like pouring a handle of vodka into red soap

And I'm like, I got to get this boy out of here. Yeah, no, nothing like too scandalous, I would say. Well, we can move on to the next question. I'm going to go to some concerts with Rachel. I have fun in my 20s. That's all I'm going to say. That's all I'm going to say.

I love it. One thing that kept coming up in this first episode that we watched was, and I was very surprised by this, a lot of the musicians said, I've never dated another musician. And I've always said that about a lawyer. I would always said, oh, I would never want to date another lawyer. It just would be so boring.

I feel like we'd be arguing against each other. I would be competing. It just doesn't sound like fun. But I would think as a musician, that would be such a beautiful thing to be able to make, not just love, but music together. So I was surprised to hear their take on it and I actually understood it. What do you think about that? It's interesting because I feel like, and this is just,

just me projecting. I feel like to be a musician, you obviously have to have some sort of drive in like the line light and that certain attention factor on you. And so I think it might be hard for musicians to sometimes share that. I mean, of course, like we see couples like Faith Hill and Tim McGrath who are killing it and perform together and sing together and all these amazing things, but I think for some it might be hard to share the stage and the mic and that limelight. Yeah. I mean, I guess I could see that or just, I don't know. And maybe they compete like you're talking about. But I would just think, oh my gosh, this is so poetic. This is such a beautiful thing. But I, you know, I'm also not a musician. So maybe if I was, that would make a

whole lot more sense. How fun would it be Sunday morning? You grab the guitar, you grab some more instruments, you just sing with the kids together. I think it would be cute, but you know, who knows, maybe that could come from the show. And that's what you see on this show, people. Like they, normally when you wake up in the Bachelor Mansion, you're like, oh, the sun is up. I have to get up and do an interview. Unlike this show, you're waking up to people playing the piano and the guitar, and instead of birds, yuck, which I hate singing outside, you hear these beautiful voices. I mean, it's just such a fun

experience. I think when y'all do season two, because there should totally be a season two, you incorporate non-musicians into it, just so they can share this beautiful experience. Just because. I would show up every morning just to sit and drink my groupies.

But see, but like, see how Becca and I are so excited, we can't stop talking about it. We actually have to move on because you guys aren't just going to hear from us on the show. There's so much more to talk about, but yeah, there is. Becca, go. Yes, Rachel. And I'm sorry, everyone. We're done teasing you. You'll just have to tune in a couple days to watch it, but we know that you guys have to wait until April 13th to see

the premiere. So in the meantime, we've decided to do you a solid and let you meet two of our contestants before the show actually airs. And you know Bachelor Happy Hour, we always have your back when it comes to delivering that inside scoop people. That's right. So today, you get to meet two incredibly talented contestants from this season of Listen to Your Heart. You get to meet Trevor Holmes and Bree Stoss. And I, these are two of my personal favorites I'm already picking favorites we're only one episode in

and I'm already picking favorites I have more but these were definitely they definitely stood out to me for various reasons and we'll talk about that later but I know you guys are going to be excited to meet them too so our first guest

let's just get right to it okay our first guest he is 29 years old he's from Thousand Oaks California just miles away from Bachelor Mansion and without further ado he is Trevor Holmes ladies and gentlemen

welcome him into That's our happy hour. Hi, what's up, guys? No, you're good. How are you doing? I'm doing fantastic. How are you guys doing? Good.

We've been talking about going a little stir crazy. I can imagine you are a bit as well. Are you guys both in your closets? I love that for you guys. I feel like I need to be in mind. No, no, no. You've got a great setup here. We're just trying to get the best sound quality.

It's like a podcasting technique. I felt like a musician for you. a second. I'm like, well, the sound quality. You have the right idea. We are in our own recording studios, Trevor. I love it. I'm impressed. I'm very impressed. How have you been doing during this time, though? What have you been doing to stay busy? Hopefully, uh, creating some music that we can listen to in the future. Yeah, I've been, I mean, I've been trying to at least keep some kind of schedule because I feel like if you just stop doing everything, that's when you start to lose your mind. So I'm trying to still like move my body. I have stairs in here. I run up and

down. I have a puppy that keeps me absolutely busy all the time. So she's been keeping me sane. But yeah, just trying to stay busy. I think it's key. Who else is there? Who else is there, Trevor? Is somebody else? You know, there's no, I actually, I actually had my mom, I had my mom babysit my puppy because she would have been chewing my leg this whole time for attention. So I'm here, I'm here alone right now, unfortunately. Well, Rachel and I are just trying to dig. We're both dog people. What kind of dog do you have? I need to know. I have a golden retriever. Okay.

Maybe one day once quarantine is done, we can get all of our dogs together. Minow has a thing for golden retrievers, so. Let's do it. Minow's my little corgi. Oh, so cute. Trevor, we have so many questions that we want to get into and hear more from you, but this is the one thing I have been wanting to ask you. So Rach and I touched on how we watched the episode early.

We saw everything go down in that first couple hours, but you mentioned that one day your dream is to live on a tour bus with your partner and kids. Now, I need to ask, have you ever lived on a tour? And a dog. And a dog. Okay. Have you ever lived on a tour bus before? I haven't.

Have you? Well, yes, I did actually. Rachel came. So I was on, obviously stopped now, but I was on The Bachelor Live on stage tour. So we were living on a tour bus. There was six of us girls plus my fiance. And I don't know, like, how, I'm going to want to one. you. It'll be fun for like the first month, but if you have kids and dogs and people

running around, it's going to get real old, real fast. Yeah. Okay, maybe maybe, uh, maybe living on a tour bus is too ambiguous, but I would like to at least if I'm touring. I'd like to be with my family because if I'm on the road, I don't want to be away from my family. Yeah, I get that. In an ideal world, if I can make that work, that would be ideal for me. Yeah. I wrote this down too, but from a different perspective. I was like, oh my gosh. look at how humble and down-to-earth he is. I would have been like, oh, I can't wait to live on my private plane with my.

That's literally what I wrote down. I thought, geez, what a down-to-earth guy. He's focused on what matters, family, the dog. I'm like, I need that butler. You know what's funny is I'm actually like, I've been obsessed with these like people build these camper vans and they travel all over. And I've always been obsessed with like a minimalist kind of

lifestyle. So I think maybe that's the other appeal of being on a tour bus. Maybe a tiny home one day? Yeah, maybe. An airstream? Who knows? Well, okay, I'll tell you this. When the Bachelor Live on stage tour picks back up, you and maybe if you have a lucky partner along then you'll come come hang out with my fiance and I get a feel for it, see how you like it and then make a decision from there. Okay, I appreciate that. I appreciate you looking out. By the way, Becca, we almost met one I don't know if you know this or not. Oh, no, when? Where?

So you, I was on American Idol two seasons ago, and you, and you were actually at the finale of my season, and we were in the dressing room together. And I'm like, I was so starstruck. I was too scared to come say hi. Oh, you should have. All that circle moment. We were standing four feet apart from each other. Oh, my gosh.

We almost met one day. Well, I will say, because I remember that, it was one of the first appearances that I had after we were done airing. So I think it was right around the time the Bachelor was premiering. And so I was so nervous. I remember going down and all of you guys were singing, getting ready, and I felt

so out of place and awkward because you were all so cute and you had your friendships formed and I'm like, what? I felt so weird being there. But I wish you would have said hi. Yeah, I was too scared. Like, I had no problem going up to Nick Jonas and always out a little bit of you. I was like, no, I'm too scared.

Can't really. Well, we're going on a better way now. I like this. What a fun story. Okay. So now I have two questions for you from what you just said. One, you knew who Becca was. Yeah. So are you a fan of The Bachelor? Yeah. So I wouldn't

lie and say that I'm a hardcore fan that I've seen every season. I've definitely seen the show. And Becca, I definitely saw parts of your season. I enjoy the show. And now I'm part of the Bachelor family. Yes, you are. Which is my second question. This experience, obviously, it's produced by the Bachelor. franchise. You have the unique experience of having been on American Idol, which I don't think

any of the other contestants had that same experience, right? Right, right. So we've been kind of describing this as The Bachelor meets American Idol. Your American Idol experience, was it anything like this Listen to Your Heart experience? I would say yes, in some ways, and no, in many other ways. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How is it? different? Well, I don't think that, you know, going into it, I kind of knew what to expect. I knew that it was a part of the Bachelor franchise. I knew that they were trying to tackle, you know, like basically a Bachelor for the musicians, for musicians. So I knew what I was getting involved with. However, I don't think there was anything that could have prepared me for my experience. I don't know

if you guys feel the same way about when you had your experience. Spoken like a true person from the franchise. Yeah, right. right. That being said, I wouldn't take back a single second of it. It's an experience that I absolutely will never forget. Well, we can't wait to watch more of you, Trevor, because I feel like I'm going to go out of the limb. I'm going to say America's going to love you. The girls are going to love you. And I need to ask you, going back to American Idol really, really quick. So we've seen a quick clip, Katie Perry actually called you hot when you auditioned. How did you feel when Katie Perry called Trevor Hot? Well, you know what's funny is she like so growing up before

that, if you had asked me, I would have told you like if you said, oh, who's your celebrity crush? I would have said Katie Perry. Like all my friends knew that she was like my celebrity crush or whatever. You never think you're going to meet that person. And you definitely don't think they're going to call you hot. So it's nothing that you can, uh, for forever. I was very humbled by it. I was very appreciative of it. But yeah, going in the audition room, like people asked me afterwards, oh, was that plan. Did you know that was going to happen? I had. absolutely no idea. No clue at all. And even, I don't know if you saw on my clip. I actually threw her name in the song. I was never planning on doing that. It was just, I felt out the

moment, like on the, during the performance. And anyways, yeah, it was, it was a wild experience. And it definitely helped me with, like, exposure. My clip went viral. But yeah, it was a crazy experience. Yeah. Oh, come on, Trevor. When she said you were high, you know you were, I got the golden ticket. I'm going to Hollywood. Yeah. Well, I literally. And Katie Perry thinks I'm hot. On the clip, I literally, in the moment, I was like, this isn't real. Like, that's how I was going to pinch myself.

I'm like, because, you know, I grew up watching American Idol. And I'm in front of these judges. And it was, it was wild. Mm-hmm. Wow. Well, good thing it was captured on tape for everyone to rewatch over and over. Yeah. It'll never be let down for sure.

So since you're a fan of the franchise and the way this show starts off, you know, you pull up in the car, Chris Harrison standing out there. Yeah, a very handsome guy, by the way, yeah. Yeah, see, a shout out to Chris Harrison. Yes, he's very handsome. That's right, my boy, yeah. Was it intimidating for you that first night? Oh, yeah, it was terrifying.

Yeah, I thought, I thought I'm like, all right, I'm going to breathe in my nose, read out my mouth. I'm going to be fine. I'm going to be relaxed. Not at all. In fact, I don't know if they're going to show this, but when I got out of the car to say how to Chris, I got out literally facing the wrong way. Yes. Yeah, and I'm like, oh, God.

And I turn around, I'm like, oh, he's over there. Okay. I walk up to him and, you know, obviously I've seen the show. And so to be there, like you've seen it on TV so many times and then to actually be there and be in front of Chris, you're like, this is very surreal. Yeah, it was wild. And I was so nervous. I don't even remember what I said.

Luckily, it was filmed, so I'll be able to watch it back. But I have no idea what I said. So Trevor, do you get more nervous? Were you more nervous in that moment, stepping out of the car, walking up to Chris? or when you get on stage and perform in front of people? I would say in their own respects, they were equally both very nerve-wracking. I think that, but both of the situations, like, once you're in it and you're going and the adrenaline kicks in, then you're good. But right up to that moment, both are terrifying.

Yeah. I think it's a pretty common theme when people step out of the car or the limoes at first time. and I think probably it's safe to say like 90% of us blackout. Yeah. Did that happen to you guys too? For sure. I stuttered.

And I'm a public speaker. I was stuttering when I came out of the first sight. I'm glad I'm not alone. No, it takes your breath away. It is really a magical moment. There's just nothing like it. You can't explain it until you go through it. So I'm going to ask the question that I'm sure all the ladies want to know.

Uh-oh. You're attractive. Katie Perry even says so. you can sing you can play an instrument what made you come on this show because I would think that you would have no trouble finding love you know it's oh sorry my mom's actually calling her right now um put on speaker

for real you really want me to why not can your mom sing hey oh wait she did the call drop sorry oh mom next time no my mom cannot sing at all Like that fact, when she sings happy birthday, she lip sinks because she's that terrible. That bad. No, she's like me. I feel her.

Yeah. But I'm sorry, what was the question? Why did you decide to come on the show? That's okay. Why did you decide to come on the show? You know, I, um, my ultimate goal as far as, uh, is life goes is, you know, I want to, I want to fall in love with my best friend. I, um, I want to find love like anybody else.

I'm always open to finding that. And I've dated the past couple of years, and I just, I never quite found that thing. It just didn't click for me. And I, in the past, people have been like, hey, man, you should go on The Bachelor. And I thought about it. I thought it could be cool. One of my biggest fears was like, I was afraid if I went on, people would be like, oh, he's trying to promote his music career.

And so I said, I was like, yeah, I don't think that's for me. So then when this opportunity came along to be able to do both, it just seemed like a no-brainer for me. Wow. I decided not to come on the show because I didn't want people to think I was promoting my music career. You're a rare bird in the Bachelor franchise. That was a storyline last season. I'm sure it'll be one in the future as well. People could take note of this. Well, Trevor, obviously,

like music is a huge component, but also love and hopefully finding a partnership as part of this. show, you know, that's, that's one of the goals as well. So what are you looking for? And don't give anything away. I don't know if you found it or not, but what are you looking for in a partner? I mean, essentially kind of, kind of like kind of what I said before. I think, you know, I'm in my late 20s now. I think before I had this idea of, of exactly what kind of partner I wanted. I feel like I knew what type I wanted. I knew exactly what I wanted or to be like, look like those things have kind of started to go off the window as I've gotten older.

I truly just want to, like I said, fall in love with my best friend. And whatever that looks like is what I want. And so I think, I don't know if you guys have experienced this, but as I've grown as a person, I think I appreciate different things in a person. So I don't know if that made sense, but that's kind of my best answer. Well, that's the beautiful part of this show. And what the Bachelor and Bachelor provides is because you're meeting 20 plus people from across the country who you normally would never meet under any other circumstance. And they're from different backgrounds and different lifestyles and different ways that they were raised.

And so it really brings such a unique group together that I think it's, and until you're on it, you don't experience it. I think people see it and play out on TV and they're like, oh, that's Trevor from California and that's Becca from Minnesota. but until you're actually interacting with people and forming those friendships and the bonds and those relationships, it's something really special that I think the show does so well at. So overall, after meeting everyone and going through, you know, we don't know how long you were there for or whatnot, but overall, how was the experience for you? Yeah, I will say one of the ways that the experience was different than I expected was I anticipated coming on that because I, because I,

I knew that there may be competition elements on the show. I assumed everyone was going to be kind of standoffish and selfish and kind of, I don't know, not welcoming. And honestly, it was the complete opposite. I think that because we all had that common ground of music, we all had kind of like a mutual respect for each other. So right when I showed up to the house, I was like, you know what? This is kind of like my tribe of people. Like I felt like I clicked with so many guys and girls just right away, right off the bat.

So that was pleasantly surprising was that everyone was super cool and super nice. Now, that is usually how it is the first night because you all genuinely share this excitement and it's a new experience and you're all in this together. So did that change, Trevor? Does that change in the season? Well, one, you're going to have to tune in to find out. Oh, he has been trying. He's good. He's good. No, look, obviously, as you guys know, there's going to be stressful situations and there's going to be friction no matter what you what you do so um you know the dynamic definitely changed from the first night but i will say that there are absolutely friends i made on the show that will be

lifelong for yeah yeah absolutely do you think because this is this is we're so excited about this because it's something one we've never seen it before but like we're just enamored by the concept of the show having been on the bachelor and the bachelorette both becca and i we know it from that way but you know we were talking about this before we talked to you just about the experience of you know you're trying to find love with a partner but then you're also trying to connect with your music and just and everything else that way did you ever feel that whatever drama was going on in the house sometimes translated into on stage or into the music that you guys were trying to do together um i would say absolutely yes because uh i can speak for myself as a musician that my surroundings and my emotions directly affect my art and my work, which I think is true for any creative. So I would absolutely say, in the short answer, yes, it definitely affects how we all interact with each other.

But in a good and bad way. Like, it could be great. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, some of the best songs in history have been written from heartbreak. or you know so so any any type of extreme emotion can provoke fantastic music i will say that for sure so speaking of extreme emotion we talked about going stir crazy during this quarantine and how you've been one of your outlets and ways to stay busy is uh songwriting so of course we have to ask you

can you give us a little musical sampling trevor you know i thought that you guys would never ask i'm totally i have a personal request can you play gravity i'm just kidding I'm just kidding I'm just kidding I know no we've seen the first episode he's like PTSD is triggered right now

I had to I'm sorry Trevor I had to I won't I won't play gravity but I will play you a John Mayer song if you like Oh of course

It's kind of scary trying to tackle John Mayer at any time especially in the morning but I'm gonna do it for you guys It's just us I love this Can we do this every morning

Just start off with some music Let's do it I'm ready go. I love Garrett, but he is not musically inclined whatsoever. He cannot remember lyrics for the life of him. He cannot sing. And so when I hear other people sing, I'm like, oh, it's like a hug. Like, just wrap me in it. I love it. I'm going to do slow dancing in the burning room. One of my Oh, come on now, Trevor. I love it. Yeah. It's been a while since I played it. So please be kind to me. But let's see.

It's not a silly little moment It's not the come before the storm This is the deep and die of bed This love that we've been working on Can't send to hold you like I want to So I can feel it in my own hearts Nobody's going to come to say we pull too many falls in love

and we're going down and you can see it too and we're going down and you know that we're done my beat with slow dancing in a burning room Oh, thank you guys. Best audience I've had in a long time.

That is one of my favorite John Mayer's songs, I will say. I want to know. I always try to get, as I said, Garrett Canaan sing. I always try to make him hit the falsetto. Can you get up there? I'm still working on my falsetto. It takes a long time to develop that part of your voice for sure. Like the Justin Timberlake, like,

yeah, Beck, I just said he can't even remember lyrics and you're trying to get him to achieve the falsetto. Rachel, I'm just saying to push him to see what's in there. Let me tell you. But the Trevor, if you're single after all this, they better snatch you up for The Bachelor. Let me tell you. And you better say yes. You know what's funny is I actually, I grew up in the same city as Peter, the Bachelor. I don't know if you guys knew that.

And we actually, we went to high school right next to each other. We're the same age. Really? Yeah. Okay. Bachelor producers, you have your storyline right there. He has two connections, Becca and Peter. My goodness.

And Katie Perry thinks he's hot, so he's a shoeing, guys. No, well, I do one question. You know how the premise in American Idol, at least in the beginning, the first shows, is that there are always people who can't sing and are just a joke? Did you think that that was going to happen when you walked into the mansion? There was going to be some person who was just there for the wrong reasons, you know, who was in a costume. But, yeah, so go ahead.

Yeah, so I remember before I met anyone, I remember thinking to myself, Okay, I wonder how much priority they're going to put on people's talent versus their looks or personality. And I was pleasantly surprised. Every single person there was ridiculously talented. Yeah. The bar is very high. I will hear that. Definitely. And I will say even just from watching that first episode, granted, no one's giving all performances, but you do catch people sampling their different singing or playing instruments, you do catch that from a variety of them that first night, which I think it gives us a good little taste tester of what's to come. Yeah, and naturally as musicians, we're all in the hallway that we're singing and about them

we're singing. So literally, the first night, I had a chance to almost hear everyone sing. And yeah, like I said, the talent was just off the charts. Super intimidating to be honest. Oh, my gosh. I would have just started playing like a tambourine. I would have been so intimidated. I would have just been like. We'll get you a cowbell. I was like acting like I'm inputting.

I know even in the first episode, you don't hear Rudy sing until the end. And when she sings, I was like, I'm sorry. We couldn't have gotten this in the beginning. You know, at first I thought, oh, maybe she's the one. No, not at all. When I heard her sing, that's the moment I quit that I quit singing. I quit music in that moment.

I want to know what because we all know that you guys can sing how many people out of the 20 that were there night one could play instruments or one at least one instrument um in in conversation talking to everyone I'm pretty sure 98% of the people there also play an instrument oh Lord so you guys are all good looking and talented men multifaceted Rachel we would not take a chance what I'm promoting, I'm promoting groupies for season two, just like mixing in there. Like, you don't know who's a musician, who's a groupie, it's coming. Did you guys have to play, like, back in third grade? Did you have to play the recorder?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No. Isn't that such a weird stipulation? I'll bring my recorder. I'll be the groupie. I'll have the recorder and the harmonica for everyone. Really? No. It's so weird.

Yeah, it's so random. I played the piano and the flute. Yeah. You must have been in the same school system that I was in, I guess. I was in Minnesota. Let me tell you, they needed something for us to do in the wintertime. So I don't know why they picked a recorder, though, out of any instrument for kids.

Probably because it's a Midwest thing, I guess. No, you're California. I don't know. Probably because it's super cheap to make those plastic little recorder. Yeah, seriously. Oh, God, can you imagine those? Are poor teachers having to listen to that? Oh, my God.

They picked the wrong one. They got paid. They got paid. Yeah, not enough. Well, speaking of playing, not instruments, but Trevor, we like to always play a game. So before we let you go, we have a rapid fire listen to your heart game that we're going to partake it. And I hope you're okay with that.

So basically what we're going to do is we're going to ask you a bunch of questions and in rapid fire sequence, you just have to answer the first one that you prefer. So you'll only have a few seconds to answer each one. So don't mull it over. You know what? Just listen to your heart, okay? Easy enough, right? I have how many seconds to answer each one?

We'll give you two. There's no wrong answer. They're just your answer. Yeah, they're just whatever you feel like. So I'll give you an easy warm-up. We're going to start. Do you like peanut butter or jelly? Peanut butter.

Choice. Hot or cold? Hot. Dogs or cats? Dog. Bachelor or a bachelorette? Bachelor. Okay, I just knew you were going to say bachelorette because you're talking to two

former bachelorette. But he's maybe pushing who knows. knows what happens and listen to your heart, but push in for our next season, Bachelor? Just a little too honest. Put it out there. Put it in it out there. All right, moving on.

So we're changing genres now. We're going to go to dating and music, okay? So, blonde or brunette? Burnett. Okay. Beauty or brains? You can't say both. Too long.

That's rude. You can't ask me that. I know you want to say both. Beauty or brains. Okay, I'm going to say brains, but can I explain really quick? Why? Yes, please. Okay, because, you know, first of all, looks fade, and secondly, you can be attracted to someone, but if there's no brains behind it, it's not going to last. So sorry, that's my short answer.

That was a perfect answer. Honestly, it was the right answer. I think brains make someone beautiful, so that was a good one. All right, Trevor, cooking or cleaning? Cooking. Ladies, ladies. ladies Can you

I mean I'm sorry I'm just seeing this scene of you in the kitchen cooking singing at the same time if I was the woman I would just have like me kicking my leg up drinking my glass of wine on the counter

Trevor's in his little apron You know what's so funny is I literally told It was like three years ago My mom called me She FaceTime me And she saw me in the kitchen And I didn't used to cook

She was what are you doing And I was on YouTube I was like mom If I'm gonna find a wife one day I got to know how to cook. So I literally, like, I made it a goal of mine to learn how to cook because I wanted to be hugged with material.

So that was the reason that I learned how to cook. Trevor, write a book. Write a how-to book. Oh, God. Okay. Beautiful smile or beautiful eyes? Eyes. Okay.

Super tall or super short? Becca, I feel like you didn't like that answer. No, I like it. Trevor, listen. Listen, I would have personally said smile, but that's just me. me, but you know what, to each their own. She judged your answer. Yeah.

I'm an eyes guy. I don't know. I like small, too. Don't give me wrong. I have big eyes, so I took it as a huge compliment. Thank you. I think most people are probably more an eye person than a smile person. I will say that. Okay. But there are no wrong answers here, Trevor.

Okay. But, okay, what did I say? Super tall or super short? Super short. Okay. Six kids or no kids? Six kids This is a good one Sucker Sex or tacos

Sex Yeah Yeah I love Mexican food I don't even know How these two can be in a category Together I'm not on the same level of sex

Another category I wish I could say both But Both yes Too wild or too serious too wild too wild okay beer or booze

beer what about beer or boobs what's the difference beer or boobs boobs boobs yes yes Chris Harrison or Chris Stapleton

God you're going to do me like that I have an answer look I love Chris Harrison, but I have to go with Chris Stapleton. That was my answer, too. He does have a velvet voice, I will say. I mean, all right. All right. Trevor, country or rock and roll?

Country. Nashville or L.A.? Nashville, which is, I'm like throwing my hometown under the bus, but I just, I'm moving there soon, so it's going to be my new home, so Nashville. Okay. Why are you moving there? For music, I've just, I've been planning on moving there the last two years. years and I just haven't been able to make it happen yet. That sounds convenient.

That sounds real convenient. I'm just saying, you know. Are you moving there with anyone or by yourself, hmm? You're going to have to tune in on the 13th to find out. That's what I'm saying. He's honestly. Honestly, though, I was in Nashville for the draft. And I was with my fiance at the time, husband now.

We fell in love with Nashville. He wanted to have his bachelor party there. I thought we could live here. I'm from Dallas, and it reminds me, it's a better version of Dallas to me, like between what Dallas and L.A. are. I don't know. I just really vibed with the city. I agree. When Garrett and I have only been there once. And when we flew in, the second, the second we were flying over Nashville, I was like, this kind of feels like home. So we, if we had not moved to California, because Trevor, we're just south of you and

Carl's Bad now, we probably would have maybe considered Nashville. So it's a good area. I love Carl's Bad. Very jealous, by the way. We'll come down and visit anytime. We'll get the dogs together when quarantine's up, for sure. Absolutely. All right. Next one, we have. have Cardi B or Nicky Minaj. Cardi B. Ocr. Ocr.

Oh, cr. Money or fame? Well, that's, this is a multifaceted one. I know I'm not supposed to explain these things, but I don't want fame, but if that's what it requires for me to play on a stage in front of many people,

then I'll take that over the money part. If that makes sense. Yeah. So it's the music. If I had said money or music, you would have said music. Yes, correct. Okay.

Trevor, do you prefer to perform on stage in front of a larger crowd? Or do you like the smaller, more intimate, close-connected settings? Both have their thing about it. I mean, there's nothing. The biggest crowd I've played in front of was 10,000, and there's nothing like that. It's like electric. But then there's also something to be said about playing in a small intimate room where you can actually like see people's eyes and see.

their reaction to your music. So both have their place and time to make them special. Yeah. Have you ever had a girl throw their bra on stage at you? Yes, I have actually. And ironically enough, it wasn't on a stage. I used to bust on the Venice Beach boardwalk. And yeah, this girl walking by just threw her bra right at me. Right, right there on the boardwalk. Were you intrigued by that? Or were you like, we're on the Venice Beach boardwalk right now? I was baffled. I wasn't expecting a bra to the dome on the boardwalk there. But yeah, it happened. All right. You heard it here first, that Venice Beach boardwalk people. All right. It's wild. Okay, we got a couple more here for you. A guitar or piano?

Guitar. Okay. Do you do play any other instruments besides guitar? I don't. That's why that was such a quick answer for you. I'm just now learning piano, though. I made it a goal of my during quarantine to learn Pia. Oh, nice. That's great. Using his time well. Okay, we're breaking our own rule here.

So we're going to speed it up. Jayze or Beyonce? Beyonce. Mansion or tour bus? Tour bus. Oh, okay. This is going to be the hardest one yet. Rachel or Becca?

You guys are jerks. Answer wisely. Can I do Bachel? Can I combine you guys? Can you win? I love it. I thought he was going to go into easy row and just say Chris Harrison, but that's good. Bachel.

Oh my gosh, Trevor, you've been so much fun to talk to. You guys too. We saw we knew you from watching you on TV, but just getting to talk to you and podcast with you, it's an even better experience. I can't wait for America to meet you as well. I mean, they met you in one way, but now they're going to meet you in another way. In an even better way. I feel like this is a lot more of an intimate experience.

So I'm excited. I'm excited too. And I honestly, the only reason I did the show, I have a pretty small family. And I heard that The Bachelor family is like quite the unit. So I thought this was a good way to expand my family. Enter at your own risk. No, honestly, it's like it's a big community. You're all like, we all go through a crazy experience together.

So, well, welcome. We're happy to have you in it. Thank you for being so fun. open with us today and hope that you get back to writing songs and learning the piano and whatever playing the recorder yeah yeah exactly well Trevor we can't wait to see more of you and not only listen to your heart but hopefully just more in general with your music after all of this I mean we have nothing but time on our hand so keep those songs coming out buddy I appreciate that and it's such an honor to meet you guys and I really appreciate you guys taking the time to talk to me

you're there. Oh, thanks Trevor. Thank you. Have a good one. You be safe and you be healthy. Yeah, take care, Trevor. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. All right. Well, listeners, we just wrapped with Trevor and we can't wait to see him on listen to your heart and see where this quote unquote journey might take him. But next up, we have one more contestant for you guys. And we can't wait to meet her because she's just equally as talented, beautiful, and amazing. So ladies and gentlemen, please get ready to meet Brie. is 28 years old from Provo, Utah. Hello. Hi, Bree.

How are you guys? We're fantastic. How are you doing? I'm great. Good to see you. You too. You're glowing right now. It's not just the yellow that you're wearing.

Thank you. You can go to open windows. And how are you in light of everything that's going on with coronavirus? You're staying safe and healthy and how's your family doing too. Yeah. Luckily, my family are, you know, they're all healthy and we're trying our hard to stay safe. It's just really hard not to be paranoid during this time. But all we can do is just take it a day at a time. Yeah. Are you guys doing? Good. Thank you for asking. We are calling in Miami. I'm in Miami. So it's not, it's not the worst place to be. That's where I usually am,

but we like just moved. So I like finally have a, you know, a wall. But yeah, I love the closet, so. Yeah. We call it our quarantine chic area right now, because it's the most quiet. Now, Bree, we just talked a little bit about you. We know that you are currently living in Provo, Utah. Are you with your family right now? Or are you just, like, what's your status? Don't give away if you're single or taken. But like, other than that. Yeah. I am currently living with my family. Okay. Well, that's nice that you guys at least can all be together during this time? Yeah, we're really lucky. My parents even, you know, they came to, I'm originally from Reno, Nevada, and so my parents live there still, but I live in Utah with my

siblings, but my parents came and visited, and then everything kind of got shut down, so they're stuck with us during quarantine. Listen, you're going to have to talk to my fiance, Garrett, at some point, because he, for the past decade, was living in Reno, Nevada, and is pushing hard for us to move there eventually. He loves Reno. So he'll have to chat with you later about all things Reno, Nevada. Oh my gosh. Yes. I would love that. Awesome. Small world. So Bree, we, Rachel and I mentioned that we watched the first episode of Listen to Your Heart. We can't wait to get your experience and your initial thoughts on, you know, especially the first episode when everyone is introduced. But overall, without giving too much way, what was your experience like on the show? Was it worthwhile? Like, going in,

what did you expect and what did you learn from it? So going into the show, I really had no expectations, especially with it being a brand new show. I didn't know what to expect. But yeah, overall, I had a very, very positive, amazing experience, and I loved everything about it, even the, you know, even the ups and the downs. I left it all.

Before going on to listen to your heart, were you a Bachelor, Bachelorette fan? I wasn't a Bachelor or Bachelorette fan. I was kind of glad because I didn't know, again, I didn't know what to expect. So it helps, you know, kind of going in blind, but and just experiencing it firsthand. Yeah. I mean, I think that that's the best way when you don't know, so you don't have any expectations. So honestly, everything can only go up from there. so open to what the experience is, but I am curious to know why you decided to go on the show.

So I decided to go on the show because it sounded like a perfect fit. I'm a musician and in a perfect world, I always said that, you know, whoever I end up with would also be a musician because you just understand each other and the creative mind is very different than the intellectual mind. You know what I mean? They're just, they're different. And And so it just sounded really, really great to get it all. Have you dated musicians before? I have. Yes. I've dated, I've dated musicians in the past and, you know, they've gone good and bad and obviously haven't worked out long term. Well, and so this is something Rachel and I were talking about because, I mean, neither one of us are musicians.

I have said multiple times now that I cannot sing worth my life. I'm terrible. but we were saying it could be fun to date a musician if you are one because you have that creativity, you have that special bond where you guys can create music and write together and perform together. I also said, like, it could, I'm sure, at some points, be super tough because if, you know, if you're used to running the show or you like that certain attention, it could, I don't know if, I think for me I would maybe butt heads with somebody, I think, if we were in that same career path. I'm sure you've experienced it all. Definitely, yeah. It's interesting because, you know, they say don't go into business with your spouse or your family or whatever. And so there is a lot of truth to that because there can be a lot of, you know, I mean, mixing business with love can be challenging. But, you know, I think with music, because it is another language and you can feel things that you can't feel normally outside of it, it's kind of the one thing that I would be willing.

to do with a partner long-term because it can bond you in ways that other things can't. If that makes sense? No, definitely, for sure. And you had, I'm sorry, go ahead. No, no, no. Well, you had mentioned in your, like, so you do, you haven't seen the bachelor or bachelor, maybe you will after, but a lot of the way that we've seen the first episode, so it's formatted similar, but not the same.

And one of the things that's similar is that they do the packages. so we get to kind of meet who you are before you walk into the mansion and you had mentioned that you had been in an engagement before the show and I think you had broken it off a year and a half before you came on. Can you tell us a little bit about that and did that

kind of impact you and kind of, I guess, turn your hand as to make you want to go on the show? Yeah, being engaged was everything to me um you know and when you get engaged your entire your perspective of your future you know changes and it becomes that one person and so when it did end um i kind of lost a sense of what my future looked like and you kind of feel like you've lost everything and so there's nothing else to lose um

so the show came on a very perfect time for me because i was just willing and ready to to just give it all the person you were engaged to, was he by chance a musician? He was definitely not a musician. I feel like that's why you're like, you know what, but we have to kind of come from

the same, like, what is it right brain or left brain? Is it right the creative side? I think it's right. I think it's right. Yeah, I think it's right to. I think it's right to. Anyways. Yes. Okay. Yes. Yeah, I totally get what you mean. It's just like your mesh is better. You understand each other better. I'm curious though, because

since we have seen the first episode, I don't remember you singing. So what's your music style or musical style? First of all, I'm very jealous you've seen the first episode. But you've experienced it. You were there. But you still have no idea. But my musical style is kind of a little bit of everything. I'd say naturally, my voice is a little more country, but I love the R&B, hip hop vibe.

and then definitely mainstream pop as well. Who are some artists that you look up to or that you like to emulate when you perform? I love Ellie Goldine. I think that her voice is very unique and everything she does with it is just very outside of the box. I think the person that I've been told I saw

the most like is Taylor Swift. And then creatively, Sarah Borellis, I love her stuff. That's a good one. That's a good one. She's amazing. Brie, I think we just have to ask you if you'll give us a little sampling, because now I want to hear, I want to hear if you do actually sound like Taylor Swift. Ooh.

Okay. I think maybe I'll sing a little part of Give Me Love by Ed Shearin that was on one of the promos. Okay. If that's okay. Of course. Please do. Okay. All right.

Let's let me know. And it's been a while, but I still. feel the same maybe i should let you go give a little time to me or burn this out we'll play high and see to turn this around all i want is a taste that your lips allow my might my mind give me love I love that. That was beautiful. I wish I could sing. Oh, my goodness. I know. I love it. And then the jealousy, too, your voice is like butter. It's like butter. It is so smooth. And I'm going to say this. And Basternation, don't come at me. It's been said that I'm not a Swifty. You sound better than Taylor Swift. I'm sorry. I will agree. I'm sorry. You do. there's there's more to your voice like there's i and i like some taylor songs but there's like a depth and a story i don't know and there's you have more soul in your voice than than she does i just i don't you gave me more as if i'm simon cow or something i'm like you know what you are the preferred

sima cow for sure it's great i love that i will say so when we were watching the promo um and it was one, I think that they showed a while back when they first, first announced, listen to your heart. I remember hearing that song in the background. And I have been an Ed Shearing fan since God, college. Like, remember Lego House when it came out, like, way back in the day? And so I remember

hearing that song, because it's not a new song, and I was like, how do I know that song? What does that song remind me of? And then when I was just re-watching the episode, and they give the little teaser at the beginning, I was like, oh, that's Ed Shearin. That's the song. And so I have, of horrors had to go and uh download that song and spend what like one twenty nine on it again

even though it is not new but i love that was amazing so thank you for sharing i could i could honestly sit and listen to you sing all day yeah for real yeah you've got you've got one of those read the phone book voices you know like you can like you could or sing i mean sing the phone book voices like you could sing anything i said ring like i'm as i'm staring into just ring life um no but what can we expect from you in the season because i feel like like we didn't get a lot in the beginning of the first episode and then the end we see you make a bit of a connection there so without giving too much away what can we expect from you we can expect that I really put myself out there and gave it my all and really tried my hardest to connect with

someone and I just go off of that initial spark and feeling and then I just you know follow that and see where it leads. That's the best Bachelor Bachelorette franchise answer I think we could give. It's just to go in, all out, not knowing what to expect. And now, Brie, since you weren't a Bachelor, Bachelorette fan

before this, I mean, should hopefully come as no surprise that Bachelor Nation, the fandom is huge. They are just die-hard fans for the entire franchise in the best possible way. And just speaking, because you probably haven't seen too much of them quite yet, message, if any, would you have for those

Bachelor Nation fans out there? I would say my biggest message for the Bachelor Nation fan whatever they are. I would say to just you know, be open

to the message that listen to your heart is. I think that the show did an incredible job with casting and portraying all of us musicians as different but you know similar in the way that we are all looking for love and that yeah if you put yourself out there you really can um find what you're looking for it is possible was this

experience what you expected it to be this experience was everything more than what i was expecting i had just a little you know vision of what it could be and what i was hoping for it to be but it just went above and beyond every single part of that. So no regrets. No regrets at all. It was amazing. I love when people come out from the show and just they win in it wholeheartedly and have nothing but fond memories. I think sometimes what we've seen is people come out and they regret things and they wish they didn't go on and it didn't pan out as

they had hoped. And so I think having you and the fact that this show is the time this is ever happening the first time that fans are seeing this that we're all seeing it together it's something special and so i hope that's the take for all of the other musicians that were with you i think there's 20 of you guys total um that you all come out still hopeful and happy that you did it because how cool is it that this is the first time ever that you are a part of this show that's something really really exciting yeah that was one of the biggest selling points was that it had never been done and so there's no expectation you know there's no um there's just know anything about it. And I love being one of the first to kind of like pave the way

and, you know, show that it can be really, really great. Yeah. I'm telling you, Becca and I are such huge fans of the show of you. It's like if you're a fan of music, love, you know, maybe a little drama, excitement, something new. I just, ambition, passion, it's all wrapped up in this show. And there's nothing else like it and it's it's just it's really one of a kind and i'm congratulations to you for being able to be a part of it and for everything you experienced on the show thank you i feel very very lucky well oh that's smile that's telling we can't wait i said i said it when she came on she's glowing so i mean we'll have to wait to find out what happens but i'm excited to see how not only your story but everyone else's story pans out in this because um it's

It's coming at the best time, too, this show, and I've said it earlier in this podcast, and I'll say it again. It's coming at such a good time to really, I think, bring Bachelor Nation together again during these weird, scary, kind of lonely time. So I think it's going to be something to look forward to every Monday night, and I can't wait. But, Bree, before we let you go, we love our Bachelor games, so we have to play one with you. It's going to be called Guess That Love Song. So basically what you're going to have to do, I'm sure as you, you know, are a singer and songwriter and musician, you hopefully know a ton of songs. But we're going to test your knowledge. This is going to be a very interesting game that we're playing. So Rachel and I,

I don't know if this is a good thing for you or an unfortunate thing. Richie and I are going to have to hum some love songs for you, and then you're going to have to guess what that song is. Now, I should have... All our songs are going to sound the same, Becca. They're all going to Is there like any warm tips you can give us like la la la la la la la la la la la la la la actually yeah yes that's exactly what i do every day and and with that becca you start off with the first one okay okay i'm gonna i got it i got to dint the lights in my closet to really set the tone okay you're a studio pro and if i if i stop humming and start whistling please bear with me but okay i'm going to start from the beginning

Oh, God, this is a high note. How long do we have to do this? Probably until I guess it. Shit, that didn't give a word. You started off strong, Becca. That was good. I tried to hit that high note, and I really felt. fell off the ship, so to speak.

If that doesn't give it away. Bree, I know you have to guess what we're seeing coming, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this. I don't know I can't. Just want to let it go as long as. Oh, my goodness. Okay. We will give you a hint.

There was a big ship. Yes. I was going to say Celine Dion, Titanic. Yes. Yes. Okay. Yeah. I feel like I should have nailed that a lot better

because when I was on Bats for Live on, that was one of the songs that the girls had to lip sync to. And so literally like 17 times a day, I had to listen to that song. But, you know, I really did nail it. I, within the first few notes, like I thought about it, but just to be safe, I let you go. And then we started talking, but yeah, it was amazing. It's actually hard to hum it and not throw the words in there. Listen, I don't know how I'm going to do this next one.

Okay, I'm going to give this a go. You got to grow. This is going to be so, this is my karma for laughing. laughing at Becca. Okay. I've tried to think how to start it off. I think you kind of just get right in-reach. I can't stop laughing.

Hold on, no, no, no, okay. I can't sing the song, you guys. There are too many runs in the song. I'm sorry, we're skipping it. We're skipping it. It's Whitney Houston, and I can't. hit it. Oh, no. Is it I always love you?

It was. Okay, there you go. You did it. That was a good one. I feel like these next ones will be a little bit easier for you, Brie. Okay, we're, we're, we're talking up right now. See, this one might be kind of hard for me because I think I only know the chorus of this one, but okay. Do the beat. Do the beat starting off. Whoever created this list is trolling us. I just want to say that. We're on to you.

This is not fair. Okay. is that right? Is that the right song? No. I'm going to help you out. Ooh. Oh my gosh.

I know this. Oh, ooh. Beyonce, Desi's Child. Okay. It is Beyonce. It is Beyonce. What's that say? Crazy in love. Crazy in love. What's the song was I doing? What's the I don't know, Becca? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Is that a different Beyonce song? Or is that just like

the chorus more in, in deep into the song? I think you're singing a Destiny's Child song. It all sounds crazy. I do know what you're, what you're where you're going. I just can't think of the song. I'm looking at this list of songs that we're supposed to haunties. It's a song. It's, it's, it's, it's, And I don't know some of them. Okay, I'll help you out. We'll help you out. Because go ahead. You know the next one, right?

I thought you were on point with the chorus. Oh, my gosh. I'm not going to give you one lyric. been and die you're doing amazing I think I just don't know this one it was go ahead tell her back

wait you come me open and I keep pleading keep pleading love yes yeah I wish you guys could see I'm literally like doing the splits in my closet right now I just really felt that song you're feeling it yes I like this game we should

do this more often. Okay. This is a fun one. Okay. And we'll end on this one. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Oh, my gosh. Got, take it away, Becca.

could see our video we'll just be the background dancers right now for Brie Thank you so much for participating in what was supposed to be a singing game, which Becca and I failed miserably.

No, you nailed it. We got all of them. I was like when Brie finally gets it and knows what song we're singing and just takes over and starts belts you then. That's the moment. Yeah. We're like, thank God. Save us.

Save us. No, seriously, Bree, thank you so much for participating. You've been so fun and open. I can't wait for everyone to see what your story is. We don't know how it ends, but you are beaming from ear to ear. so we know something good happens from it all. Something good. Yes.

Yes. Well, thank you, ladies. Yes. Thank you, Brie. This was so much fun. I might actually get your number after this and call you and just listen to you sync sometimes when I'm bored and courting if that's okay. Yes.

Any time. Seriously, any way I can help. And it will help me because we're all struggling through this. We're all in this together. Full house, baby. Yeah. All right, Bree. Okay, you take care.

Thank you. Okay, you too. Bye. Bye, bye. Oh, my gosh, Becca. That was entertaining? Should I say that was entertaining? I can't believe he actually went through with it.

But thank goodness Bree was such a good sport and played along with us. But I love Trevor. I love Bree. I love the show. I mean, that was so much fun. I know you guys have to have fallen in love with them too. And I think these are only two of the incredible contestants that you guys are going to get to meet this season. We've got so much more great things planned with this podcast in the show.

And it's just fun to get to share all this information with you guys before it airs next week. Yes, Rage. I cannot wait. It feels so good. So good that I feel like I want to share even more. And I feel like everyone at this point in time is locked up in their home doing their part to social distance and stay safe and healthy. But everyone deserves a little something for that. So how do you feel about sharing the never-before-aired season preview for our listeners?

Let's do it. Yo, fam, fam, yo. Oh. What is that? It's a date card. Four of the guys are going home this week. So it's important that I get this date card. And I would love more than anything to be able to go on a date with Jamie and get a lone time away from the house, away from Ryan.

Ryan, choose someone who makes your heart sing. That's tough, dude. That just puts you right on the spot. No pressure. Jamie, would you like to join me today on an incredible adventure? Yes. Sure. Yay!

Yeah. I do wish I was on that date with Jamie. They could be doing the coolest thing ever. That makes it easier. makes it easier to form a bond quicker. Feeling can develop and things can move forward. So that's why I'm kind of on the edge of my seat a little bit. Oh my gosh.

This makes me so excited to see the show. I can't wait for this season to start. I cannot wait either, Rachel. And listeners, I'm sure you can't either.

Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier.

Denials easier. Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast. or wherever you get your podcasts. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?

It can be as simple as talking to someone, or just taking a deep, calming breath to ground yourself. Because once you start to address the problem, you can go so much further.
