0:19.8	I'm your host, Robert Perry Cruz, and with me as always are my fabulous co-hosts. Oh, hey there, Rob. It's me, your friend,
0:26.8	Jackie. And it's me, Diana. Hello. Well, usually we start the show off, the show about
0:34.7	behavior analysis and behavior analytic research, where every week
0:37.7	we pick a topic and talk about that topic and relevant research articles. Usually we start
0:41.8	with kind of an amusing bit, but we're adults. This is an adult show for adults by adults. We're

1:45.1	sometimes, so I wanted to make sure I started serious and then I'll, we'll go from there if we want to
1:49.5	get a little, a little wacky little zany. That's okay. Rob likes to approach everything with a
