This week on HTT we have a special guest! He is a husband, card dealer, poker expert, father and tax preparer of/for Emily- it's Roy Patt! Roy tells all the insider info that we sort of know- gambling is a losing bet and the house always wins (kind of). We talk about how to play blackjack, Roy's Christmas presents (all poker books), the type of person who does the best in casinos, and what it feels like to win and lose (it's not good, either way). Thanks friends! Let us know if you have had any big wins or life-shattering losses and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever else you listen to pods!

If you are like Emily, you probably thought that non-professionals giving each other tattoos was something that only happened in the movies. Today, friend of the Pod, Sasha Leamy, proves that wrong, as she gave Ashley  her first tattoo. Thanks for being on and sharing your expertise with us Sasha!

43- First Time Getting/Giving a Tattoo with Sasha Leamy

This episode was recorded on January 30, 2021. No one on the episode today is a financial expert or advisor.  Unless you consider continual Reddit browsers experts. Which you shouldn't.  This week, our friend and eXpErT, Aidan Grimshaw returns to the podcast to drop some invaluable insights the notorious GME (GameStop), trading versus investing, and what on earth an investment vehicle is. Aidan is a king, hobbyist redditor, lowkey mini bitcoin miner, and the man who introduced me NPR's planet money. In this episode we talk about making money, losing it, the stress eczema it can induce, and what we learned in highschool econ. Thanks for tuning into season four! 

42 - First Time Investing with Aidan Grimshaw

Join us and our guest Cara Nixon, author of Trust me?, Runaway Esme, and Good Souls Under the Oak Tree which has been viewed on Wattpad over 20,000 times, on a writing journey! We ask the expert about the inspiration for her WattPad books she wrote as an 11 year old, and feel out what we would want our own short story to look like. She then walks us through her writing process, gives advice to any aspiring authors, and is incredibly helpful. THEN Ashley and Emily co write their own Wattpad style short story about a beach town summer love where the girl falls for the bad boy for themselves. They learned a lot about themselves on the way. You can read the short story on our blog if you wish! And please leave us a review on iTunes to check in. https://hearsthething161297019.wordpress.com/2021/02/07/lessons-in-love/

Happy One Year Anniversary to Hears the Thing! Thank you to everyone!!!

Happy One Year Anniversary!

Hey friends! Can you believe that one year ago today we posted our first episode! The thought of Hears the Thing has been around for much longer, but it's been so sweet to have a product, a real, existing thing- FOR A WHOLE ROTATION AROUND THE SUN- and I know that time is a construct and yada yada, but it really is just so sweet! Thank you for listening to us, supporting us, and encouraging us for so long. We love you and hope that this episode brings a smile to your face. Remember to reach out, say hello, and that we are only a phone call away. Again, thank you to all of our friends and family to contributed their time and voices to make this season happen, and for giving us voices!  We hope to see you soon, send us any fun ideas on @hearsthethingpod on instagram or at hearsthethingpod@gmail.com, keep in touch with your loved ones, leave a review on podcasts, and thanks for listening! Ever grateful,  Ashley and Emily  

40 - First Time Having a Season Finale on our (Almost) Anniversary ft. our friends!

This week, we have a special guest and co-host Emily Jo Henry Patt, reporting for her duty of serving up some real discomfort. We talk about emotional stunting at 14, commitment (a classic), and Kit's hypothesis of how getting into romance too late in the game has made us the ultimate late bloomers. We also talk about how her personality and preferences have really made this season that we call qUarAntiNe, a very enjoyable one and on the topic of if her friends jumped off a bridge, how she would (and did) too.  Thanks for listening and tune in next week for our season finale! 

39 - First Time Talking Romance and Emotional Maturity with Emily Patt

Join us as the hosts, Emily and Ashley, try things for the first time and talk about it. Our first times range from activities like mundane ADLs (ie: trying trendy health drinks) to engaging in the battlefields of love, life, and trying our hand at being "adventurous".
