Hears the Thing

Hey listeners, here is the special release of our song from last week's episode. If you haven't listened and want to learn about how cloudy day came to be- tune in, you've got plenty of time to catch up. Thank you for listening and keeping up with us; until next episode- that was the thing, buh bye!

Join Emily and Ashley as this weeks guest Ian Patt talks them through how to write a song. Ian talks about what has inspired his songwriting in the past, and gives the hosts tips on how to write a song of their own. Then, Ashley and Emily listen to Tear Drops on My Guitar and Right Where You Left Me by Taylor Swift a bunch to inspire a song of their own which Ian even produces a taste of and you can find it in the episode! Ashley and Emily wrap up the episode by talking about their songwriting process, and how they came to Cloudy Day, Hears the Things debut single. Thanks for listening, and Happy 50th episode!! We will see you soon after a few weeks break!

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!

This week on Hears the Thing Joel Sigrist talks us through Getting a Job for the First Time. Joel has created a course on How to Find a Job in 4 Weeks, and in putting this course together, he has done a lot of research into what recruiters are looking for when hiring potential candidates, which a lot of which he shares with us in the hour we had him on. Joel, Ashley and Emily have all gotten their first “adult” job in the last few months, and so we talk about that a bit in keeping with the theme of the podcast for doing this for the first time. Again, Joel is very knowledgeable and full of tips to think about when it comes to finding a job fit for you, how to apply, what to make of your resume and LinkdIn, how take on interviews and more! If you already have a job, still give it a listen to hear what the kids are saying these days, and for insight on what newcomers to your work might be going through before they secure a position.

This week on the p'dcast, we have long-time friend of the pod, Catherine Romanaggi, on to "see" or more aptly, hear, a psychic. We used Psychic Source to connect with our psychic, Hope! Catherine had her aura read, her tarot cards interpreted and got a connection with someone's grandma. Join us to hear about our takes on the spiritual realm, our beliefs in psychics, and to hear about what Catherine's future holds. Cheers friends! Let us know if you have had any psychic encounters and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever else you listen to pods!

Welcome to our guest and Dungeon Master Sara Kim as she joins the pod to discuss Emily and Ashleys first time playing dungeons and dragons with her as the dm. She also explains the game, the merits of spending time with your friends, a bit on how she writes a campaign, and more! If you are interested in DND podcasts or other role playing games, the HTT hosts can not recommend the Goosebuds RPG episodes (cerca episodes 71-74), Pretend Friends, and Not Another DND Podcast highly enough, links for those shows below. We hope this maybe inspires you to start a campaign with your friends, if not shine a little light on what DnD is for you if you were not sure before. Thanks for listening!

Join us this week as Hears the Thing tries Geocaching for the first time with our guest and friend of the pod, Courtney Vijil. What is geocaching? Is it just pushing around trash with your toe and finding moldy oranges, or is there more to it? Listen to learn about this very fun and COVID safe activity to do with you and your friends!

Hello friends! On this weeks episode of Hears the Thing, Emily and Ashley are joined by double the friends, as we tag team learn how to drive with two fantastic and patient teachers- Jema (of Season 3, Episode 25 fame) and Sebastian (who you've all met in Season 1, Episode 8). In this episode, we talk about our first time trying to learn to drive stick, mishaps in the Rivas parking lot, and get this pedagogy. Thanks for listening to this week's episode and don't forget to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts if you love us as much as we do.

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!

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! 

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.

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

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

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!

This whole season we have been learning about what makes our friends uncomfortable and now we hear what makes SUPER host Ashley uncomfortable. This includes confrontation, naming all the boys she's been entangled with before, and her decision making/commitment complex . Emily keeps her exclamations about the new T Swift album to a mere two minutes, but please send her a text if you have thoughts on Folklore, it is all she is thinking about right now so she would love.

Hi friends, hope you are doing well! This week on the podcast, we had on friend, roommate, and cousin of Emily, Kit Van Roekel. This week, Kit talks about trashy TV, regretable quarantine texting exes, the Department of Human Services, white privilege and so much more! Leave a review on how we can get Emily and Kit to become sisters in a legal and non-disgusting way. Thanks for listening friends, stay safe, and we'll talk to you soon!

This week, we have the OG, Coach Phaly, on the pod. Duece gave us the original idea of doing this season of the podcast to interact and stay in touch with our loved ones and their lives during this wild and unpredictable season of life. We talk about life, work, and love. It's the classic trifecta. Listen to hear more about family, raising siblings, getting set up on dates, and more! Thanks for listening! You can find us on instagram @hearsthethingpod- and we would love it if you left a review wherever you listen (except Spotify, because I guess they don't do that). Stay safe and thanks for tuning in friends!

So. We live in a society. This week with Luke Mitchell-Nelson, Ashley's first friend in college, we talk about the construct of marriage, our 1 year and five month old niece and nephews, and the way Luke has been navigating gender roles and expectations over his life. Kind of funny listening to some 21/22 year olds discuss marriage, but we do it anyways. Can you make yourself love someone? Do arranged marriages work? At what point is commitment worth it? sigh. Thank you Luke for being on with us and talking through it with us. We hope everyone is well and, as always, thanks for listening!

We talk about all of our favorite things with Cara this week- Timothee Chalamet, school bus memories, and astrology, plus more, all on the day after she turned 20! In a very typical turn of events, Cara starts by saying that not much makes her uncomfortable, and then ends realizing that most things make her uncomfortable. We loved chatting with a non-stem friend this week, and it was great to hear about her job being a journalist for the Corvallis Advocate during the pAnDeMiC. This show truly had lots of laughs, and we hope it brings a smile to your face! Leave a review if you knew what Ashleys astrological sign was before she revealed it, and **** happy Cancer szn everyone ****

Hey friends! Happy official summer for all of our trimester friends! Would you believe that you can listen to two people with degrees talking at you this week?? (We didn't have them at the time of recording so don't expect us to sound smarter yet or anything). Special guest and friend, Sara Kim, joins us this week to talk about dealing with anxiety a family that stigmatizes mental health, the struggle of not being on neutral ground, and being overwhelmed by media. We recognize and detest the injustice that we see on the basis of skin color. As a podcast and as humans, we stand with our peers and BIPOC communities in these days when human rights continue to be violated daily. Sara Kim has compiled a list of resources for BIPOC and those who may benefit from it, as well as insider tips on how to be an effective ally. We love and hope that you are safe. This is a link to Oregon BIPOC Organizations. Campaign Zero is an organization that is working to end police violence in 10 different areas. While Oregon and the US have worked to pass a few laws on this issue, it's still not enough. The People of Color Caucus is currently working on a few police accountability measures to pass in Oregon. Here are a few effective ways you can communicate with your legislator, council member, or local government official - As tempting as it is, I would encourage against using an automatically filled email from a website - many people use auto-filled emails to send to their legislators and while it's a good way to show how many people care, it's not effective in communicating why you care about that topic. If you send an auto-email, you will probably get a copied and pasted response. Take some time and write a thoughtful email to your legislator and explain why these issues are important to you. Include your name and your address or at least the town you're in - legislators typically only look at emails from their constituents unless they are holding higher positions of power in committees. They want to hear from their constituents because that is who they are representing in their district, you may even get the chance to testify! Use this tool to find out what district you're in and who your legislators are. Know your legislator and where they stand on certain issues - do some research and find out what your legislators value and what kinds of positions they hold. From there, you can leverage your experiences to be catered to what they're familiar with. Most legislators typically have a personal website that you can find by Google, or you can their Oregon Legislator profiles here for the Senators and the House members. Most legislators also have a newsletter that you can sign up for which you can use to learn about what's going on in the Capitol and where they stand on certain issues. Vote and stay informed - it's crucial that you vote and show your legislators and your community members that you care. It's so crucial that we all use our voices to stand up for what we believe in and tell the legislators what they should care about. Be sure to also follow the news to learn about any developments on certain policies that you really care about!

We talk the film industry, from missing going to the movies, to awards season, to cgi-omg masks off of all actors in 2020 filming to bring back production. When quarantine lifts, go support your local movie theatre and see a movie- for Wyatts sake and also for the sake of our culture and our community! Pregnancy and feeling academically inferior makes Wyatt uncomfortable, so listen to hear him squirm talking about it. Thank you Wyatt for recording us this week, and in big news congratulations Ashley! She took her last class of undergrad this week, and is graduating!! We (me, Emily) are proud of you. Thanks everyone for listening, and stay safe!

Hey friends, this week on HTT, we have special guest Evan McDonald! Episode 31 starts with a music pop quiz, then devolves into ghost stories, hick burns, D&D, and conversations about pop culture/ how it makes us all feel. Special thank you to Joey and the X-Ray Spex. Thanks for listening to us every week and keeping up with us and our guests! We would love if you'd leave a review where ever you listen!

We are joined by our friend and Wally the cats mom Sharlena this week! Sharlena talks with us about how a middle school crush was the start to her journey to a diploma in Computer Science, as we well as some of the negative sides to being a girl in a male dominated field. We discuss self image, working out at the gym, and other things! She also talks us through supporting survivors of sexual assault and rape, and what that can look like. Thanks for listening friends, we hope you are doing well!

This week, our special Guest Halston Sellentin comes on and for the first time ever, phones a friend. Throughout this episode, we attempt to demystify a possible conspiracy about LA residents and their love of talking about traffic, we talk about politics and voting, and how Hal hasn't died (or been catfished) from trusting strangers yet. Thanks again to Halston for joining us this week, and special thank you to Nathan for calling back and confirming that Southern Californians do in fact... know about the highways systems in their town. Thanks for listening! If you enjoyed it, leave a review on Apple Podcasts and I'll mail you a HTT sticker, designed by our very own Annie Thomas.

We welcome old friend of the pod Noelle this week and we had such a good conversation! Things to look forward to: more talk about literature, quarantine, graduating, why private schools may be better and just Southern Oregon things. We also have a conversation about the uncomfortableness around racism?, Noelles experience with it and Noelle shares her process of sharing about the sexual assault that she experienced, and a bit on why sharing that story has been hard for her. We are so thankful to have had her share with us, and we hope you give the episode a listen, enjoy it, and find it helpful. Also Happy Mothers day to Terri, Judy, Sarah, and all the other wonderful moms out there!

We talk first time flying, taking a sabbatical, playing a trumpet in front of a crowd, officiating funerals and weddings, getting married young, stand up… and more! Nate also shares a bit about how his depression has shaped his life as well as what has helped him manage it and some of the things that played into that. At the beginning of recording, Nate told us that he had a goal for it to be our longest episode yet- and the content was so good that I never cut him off, and his goal was met. If you know Nate, you know you are in for a treat, as this man has a voice of an angel, and is one of our comedy icons. Enjoy, and leave us a review on iTunes! Also thanks Bekah and Lyla for letting us borrow your favorite guy for a couple hours for this weeks episode!

Hi friends! Sorry about the audio this week, this was also our first week having our mic be completely blown out, we were using a new one and it was stronger than we could've ever expected, so maybe listen to this one without headphones in. This week our guests Aiden Nelson and Aidan Grimshaw join us and we share funny dad stories, silly "sausage fest" lineage traditions, and of course, what makes these two boys deeply uncomfortable. Buckle up and join us for this four-person adventure, thanks for listening- we hope you enjoy! We would love for you to leave a review too: https://ratethispodcast.com/htt !

Hello and welcome to episode 25, our Silver episode, if you can believe, because I hardly can! We talk private, public, and homeschooling differences, and shameful memories from childhood ~ foreshadowing ~ one of us comes out sounding really evil and two of us are just good people apparently! Please enjoy, and review us on apple podcasts if you would! https://ratethispodcast.com/htt

Hears the thing: Ashley cut her bangs while in quarantine and we take some time to check up on her and see what is happening in her life. We also speak with friend Grant Thesing, Corvallises most prominent comedian about his comedy, family life, dating in the era of corona, and why his past self makes him a little uncomfortable. You can find Grant on his podcast Bit Stains, or @babyglaughs on Instagram. Thanks for listening!

Todays episode was with friend of the Pod, Kylee Sue Crossland (also found in episode for of the HTTPU[Hears the Thing Podcast Universe], who discusses her high school athletics career with Emily, her hobbies in the quarantine (Jersey Shore and impressive art), and how emotions make her uncomfortable. We also discuss her art, fake majors and what her actual name is. We hope you guys enjoy and are well this week while in quarantine!

Hello friends! We hope you all are well and healthy and quarantined and not going stir-crazy! On this week's episode we have our first guest on the podcast, truly fitting that technically he's been on the whole time (you may recognize his voice from the instrumental intro, outro, and interludes that he made for us), Ian Patt! In an effort to have more meaningful and intentional conversations with people in such isolating and crazy times, we thought that we could devote this season to having a hard conversation and diving deep into what makes people uncomfortable and why. This week, we talk about favoritism, coaching, favorite books, therapy, and our "corona-cations". P.S. Sorry that there are some weird audio blips, I tried to edit as many out as possible but couldn't quite get them all I'm sure.

Season 3: Quarantine is here sooner than we thought! Our first ever episode where every one of our listeners is going through our first time doing something with us- insane right? Ashley and Emily decide to be baffled about the current global pandemic together with you friends- we go over our timeline of how the disease has affected our puny little lives and try to find some good in it. Seriously, we are worried about ourselves and the rest of the world feeling disconnected with social distancing, and so we decided that jumping into season 3 would be a great way to stay connected. We hope you enjoy, and reach out yourselves! Look forward to future episodes of Season 3: Quarantine as we invite friends to join us on the pod and talk through some non corona virus related things with us. We hope this finds you well, and please leave a review on the pod to check in and let others know how much you love us: https://ratethispodcast.com/htt xoxoxo Emily and Ashley

HEY FRIENDS! It's the last chapter of our journies, so listen along as we spread the cheese in this corny episode about what we learned, what we loved, what we miss, and how we're moving forward. In case you were wondering: yes, it was the White Album that the Beatles wrote while in India and yes, Beyonce is coming for our royalties. (note: sorry if we sound a little ethereal in the latter half of the episode, also sorry if you hear some background noise, the boys next to us in the library were having a pretty intense math sesh). We're cooking up Season 3 for y'all and we're so grateful that you've been listening along and supporting us and the pod! ttyl!

Join Emily and Ashley as they hang with the youths for what seems like the 6th week in a row. This time, we enter an elementary school and take on the challenge of corralling some kids in Miss Patt's (Emily's sister) first-grade classroom.

What is a generally fun and exhilarating time takes a slight turn as Emily puts her life (and knees) on the line for the sake of reporting our first hand accounts to YOU.

It's a format switcharoo as Emily and Ashley reminisce on their first time summiting mountains (which happened BP [before podcast]) and decide on an AP [after podcast inception] whim to hitchhike. Join us as we go to Central Oregon, where we summit mountains, miss turns, and hike out to roads where our car is not parked. We talk hitchhiking, its pros and cons, how we tried it, and how we didn't get murdered. For the first time. Enjoy and leave a review!

Enjoy as Ashley and Emily do as the Youths do and dive into the world of TikTok. We discuss the phenomenon, and then make one of our own. We hope you get inspired by our art here to make your own! Check out our insta @hearsthethingpod to see the art we made!

Join us on our surprisingly non-disastrous experiences, maybe leave a review on iTunes, and follow us on instagram @hearsthethingpod to stay up to date with our shenanigans

In this week's episode we tried asking people out for the first time. We were filled with spirally regret, slight despair, but really come out the other end as better people. This experience is ushering us into a new era of our lives, one where we are filled with confidence and zeal for love and life (kinda). Tune in to hear about our rocky road of DMing people and faux pas in date etiquette. 

We tried skiing for the first time (kinda). Here's the recounting of the tale of what Emily and I thought would be a day of skiing; alas, you will be surprised to hear a story of our friendship in the midst of disaster and distress. Enjoy this slippery slope of an episode!
