Between describing waterskiing mishaps and Pocono hikes, we've got a brand new Listener Choice episode all about speeding up skill acqusition (and a video for patrons!) and our Book Club on Pat Friman's "Good Night, Sweet Dreams, I Love You" now UNLOCKED for all. Then to wrap up this hot month, the answer a the long-running podcast mystery: Why does Jackie hate DROs so much? And who REALLY got married to Rob?

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to ABA Inside Track, the podcast. That's like reading in your car, but safer. I'm your host, Robert Perry Cruz, and with me as |
| 0:21.4 | always are my fabulous co-hosts. Hello, Rob. It's me Diana Perry Cruz. And it's me, your lovable |
| 0:28.2 | Pied Jackie. Oh, boy, everybody. Well, here we are in the podcast about behavior analysis and |
| 0:34.4 | behavior analytic research, where we are setting up our August |
| 0:38.1 | 2025 preview so everyone can know what articles and topics will be discussing because of course |
| 0:45.3 | every other week on the show we like to pick a topic get into some key research discuss it at |
| 0:51.3 | length and August is going to be pretty much the same as every other |
| 0:55.8 | month. It's going to be hot. It's hot out there. This August, we're chifting to all Star Wars |
| 1:00.2 | discussion all the time. Gross. Gross. Fine. What franchise, Jackie, if we had to suddenly |
| 1:06.9 | swerve, the ABA thing's not working out anymore. We got to swerve into a different, |
| 1:10.6 | different podcast lane. Which one would you do? I would do everything about Anne of Green Gables. Okay. The books, the movies, the comic strips. Hold that thought, Jackie. I got some, I got a fun Anna Green Gables. It's a brief story for when we get into the Eurata section of the show. how about you, Dan, what would you turn into, what skid would you turn into? I'm thinking. I don't know. I mean, I... That was alarmed. She's giving me a face and I can't tell if it doesn't want to talk about this or actually thinks we're switching to a new podcast. She's keeping it quiet. It's discreet. No, I wouldn't be opposed to doing a new podcast, but like, |
| 1:45.2 | the thing I'm probably doing the most other research in is crochet, but that's really |
| 1:51.0 | hard to talk about on a podcast. That is true. Because it's just really hard to describe. So, |
| 1:55.6 | I think I would like to talk about, like, food through different time periods and how they have evolved and what we |
| 2:02.7 | eat today. Wasn't there a show? Like there was a British show where they did that? Yeah. Yeah. |
| 2:06.9 | It was with Sue and Giles and I don't, the name of the show was something, something that's hard to |
| 2:12.5 | remember. Do you want me to try to find out for you? No. No, it's fine. No. Too late. |
| 2:17.1 | Oh, okay. Anyway. So that that, a lot of directions, but don't worry. It was called the supersizers go. Oh, dot, dot, dot. That is a bad name. Yeah. It sounds like it's going to be like that McDonald's. It was a fun show. That McDonald's documentary or the guy had just McDonald's. Okay. I love that document. Super Size me? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he died. He did. Right after that. Just kidding. No. Many years later. Morgan Sparlock. That's his name. Yeah. So anyway, more of this, but in a podcast form. All right. Well, there we go. But we're not changing gears. We actually have some episodes lined up for August that are all about behavior analysis. Ew. You got me all excited. I can't wait to hear about these new topics. Guess what? They're just ABA topics. Boom. What are you going to do about it? I also like to recommend the book what Charles Dickens ate and Jane Austen knew, which is all about, like, food culture and, like, living in Victorian times. Oh, there was some random museum. Okay, no. Let's stop this. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm just, when else am I going to tell? That's true. But she got ice cream. She was so rich. She had ice cream. Okay. And I remember they showed the little thing and they make how they made ice cream back in the olden days when they didn't have a fridge. Anyway, I guess we did change topics. We're in a general history podcast now. Oh, but I better see my way. See my way out. Let's look into the future, though. Okay. Our last, maybe our last three episodes about ABA. |
| 3:41.1 | We'll see what September brings. |
| 3:43.8 | With all these new formats we have. Just wake me up when September ends. All right. Okay. Do you want me to tell you what episodes are coming on in August? Sounds like. That's what we usually do on these previews. Okay. I'm ready. This is what we started a little different. I'm ready to do that. |
| 3:37.9 | Go for it. |
| 3:38.4 | So for August, we have three different episodes that will be coming your way. |
