Behavior Bitches

On episode 63, the Bitches bring on Chase Hughes who rivals our other guests with the longest and most impressive resume ever. Chase is a leading behavior expert in the United States and a #1 bestselling author of two books on tactical behavior skills. What started out as asking a girl out in a bar and getting #rejected, led to an obsession on understanding human behavior and the art of persuasion in the most extreme conditions. Chase helps us tackle the question of what makes us consider someone to be of authority. Chase's favorite quote is, “Everyone is wearing a mask, I’ll introduce you to the people behind them.” In today’s day this could not be more relevant #COVID. His law enforcement courses save lives around the world and he constantly pushes the boundaries of what's possible with human interaction. Although, we come from different backgrounds at the end of the day we are all humans and have behaviors #duh.

On episode 62, we bring on Dr. Keira Moore from Moore Behavior Consulting to talk all about sleep issues. Keira heard about us from her students and listened to our sleep episode and reached out to us and said we need some help, in the nicest possible way. She shared with us her approach to treating sleep issues as a BCBA-D. This chick knows what’s up when it comes to sleep and challenging behaviors. She has literally focused her entire career around the assessment and treatment of sleep problems. If you need hints on how the F to get your child to sleep or need advice for yourself (like Liat did), Tune the F in or miss the F out.

On this show, we talk about the basics of ABA. I mean B-A-S-I-C-S. We discuss how we describe what we do to an outsider. We talk about our opinions on ABA and generally we just shoot the shit.

On episode 60, yes we freaking made it to 60, we have the one and only Cassie Leutenegger!! Cassie is not only a special education teacher with over 8 years of classroom experience but she is also a BCBA.

On today’s episode we bring back a very special guest/sperm donor to Liat. You may remember this man from episode 4 “Financially FreeAF”. The one and only Ivan  Sacks #liatsdad.

On today’s episode we get real AF with our fave BCBA Karina Valdez. Liats recent obsession has been a show that gets deep into the Mexican cartel. Of course two episodes in, Liat already reached out to Karina and said, “what are the odds we can pull some research together on the Mexican cartel and analyze it behaviorally?” Karina was in there like swim wear. That’s how this episode came to be and pow. Introducing episode 56, a Behavioral view of the Cartel. Tune in or miss the f out.

On episode 54 we bring on Dr. Jim Moore. Hey, look at that we are already rhyming! Jim is super passionate about all things behaviorism. He pushes the boundaries and practices philosophical doubt like no other. Just like Skinner, if he finds something interesting,  he drops everything and studies it. We urge you all to do the same. We talk about tribalism within our field and why it's not beneficial to the practitioner or client. We talk about a lot more but you will have to tune in or miss the F out. Love you. Mean it.

Episode 53: Today’s episode will get you hot and bothered. Maybe just bothered because every time most of us hear the world student loans or credit card debt we puke in our mouths and then reluctantly swallow it #amIright. The thing is we won’t just get you bothered on this episode, we will put some fire under your ass (hence the hot part) and get you pumpedAF to feel the relief of becoming debt free!

Today's episode has the intention of creating a space where we can all listen, learn, and take action. We always talk about Skinner’s verbal behavior and the necessity of a speaker and a listener. On today’s topic the same is needed. A speaker and a listener. Our goal of today is to use our platform we have created to ask real, raw, honest, sometimes scary questions. We hope you leave today with actions you can actually do. In the wake of all the sadness and injustice that is occurring now and for the past 400 years to people of color, we will not remain silent. We will use our platform to host those who are taking action. We have special guest Landria Seals Green and Vanessa Bethea-Miller both Behavior Analysts and African American Women on the show to share their experiences with racism as well as the movement they have created to take action. Sign up for the ABA Task Force which is happening on June 19th and we better see you there. Love you. Mean it. Show notes: ht

He shares a year in his life as a husband, dad, behavior analyst, student, instructor, and all of the many hats he wears. There are diary entries for every single day that will inspire you, humble you, make you laugh and sometimes want to cry, but most of all RELATE and not feel alone.

Welcome to season 2 biatches! On episode 1 of our second season, we start #strongAF. We bring Dr. David Cox, BCBA-D on to talk about, well, everything. If you want to see the most impressive, deserving, 17-page resume you’ve ever seen in your life, check this dude out. When we grow up we want to be just like this guy. I mean, think of any interesting human or animal behavioral phenomenon and he has written a whole 3874673 page article about it. He’s #SmartAF but also #DowntoEarthAF. We discuss delayed and probability discounting in humans in relation to cocaine and substance abuse. As well as how the experimental analysis of behavior does not have to be intimidating and actually should be used to expand your clinical practice! We promise to break things down for you in a #relatable way, as always. You will leave fired up about research and will probably be googling his articles halfway through the show! Check the show notes for the articles we discuss. Love you. Mean it. Show notes:

End of Season 1. OMG. We F#%king made it to 50 episodes. We never imagined we would be where we are today and it's all because of you guys. You are the heartbeat and the pulse. You make each episode matter. In this tribute episode to end season one, we talk all about our fav moments. You guys shared your fav episodes with us too. We are so #blessed to have found each other not only for this podcast but also #4life. We are each other's ying to the yang and this episode showcases just how much we love each other. Be warned: lots of flirting with each other. Tune in or miss the F out.

In part 3 of our 3 part series with Bruce Lisker, we talk about those last minutes leading up to his freedom. He paints the picture for us of exactly what it was like stepping onto free soil at the age of 44 for the first time since going in behind bars at the young, tender age of 17 years old. Don’t worry your girls asked him every last detail from what he ate, to what he wore, to what he did first, and so on. Bruce invites us into his life now, took us for a virtual ride in his #sexyAF Mercedes convertible he always dreamed of owning when he was behind bars, and just keeps it #realAF with us. We enjoyed recording every second of this podcast and we continue to text and be in touch with Bruce. Thanks for tuning in for this three part series. We hope you loved it as much as we love you. Mean it.

On part 2 of this 3 part series, we dig deeper into what life behind bars is actually like. We were mind blown by Bruce’s positivity and mental strength during his 26 years he spent locked up for a crime he did not commit. If you’re struggling with the stay at home orders, Bruce provides some great ideas of how to keep yourselves busy… perhaps you’re #desperateAF to get your husband’s name tattooed on your face but all of the tattoo parlors are closed? Have no fear, Bruce will give you all the dets so you can get this done (gather an old walkman, a pencil, a toothbrush, and a paperclip). Liat was pretty pumped to hear that she would be an “overlord” in prison. This episode gives you a glimpse inside prison, while exploring a man’s ability to NEVER GIVE UP.

All we can say is HOLY SHIT. In part 1 of a 3 part series, we talk to Bruce Lisker, a 55 year old man, who served 26 years of his life in prison for a crime he did not  commit #WTF #NotCool. Bruce walks us through every detail of his story from the devastation of finding his mother struggling for her life, calling 911 for help and being handcuffed and taken into custody for what he could never have imagined would be the next 26 years of his life. We tie so many behavioral principles into these episodes so you can get your dose of true crime and ABA. You won’t want to miss any of this three part series to hear what this man went through and how he has come out on the other side.

On today’s episode we have Sergeant Harry Drucker of the LA Sheriff Department. He shared an interesting angle with us on the criminal justice system and the importance of communication when dealing with a criminal. We found a lot of similarities in our science of ABA and his. Bottom line we both need to hear our clients out and not just hear but listen. Check it out. Love ya. Mean it.

Given the current state of our lives right now, we decided we needed to use our platform and all of our amazing listeners for something super important. With people being furloughed, laid off, let go, stressed AF, worried about the future etc, two amazing BCBAs in our field came together and created the RBT Support Fund. Dr. Shane Spiker and Hana Jurgens put their badass behavior brains together and created this amazing fund. Currently there are over 1000 people in need and only 240 givers. Let’s show this community what we are made of and grow the number of givers!!! If you have never clicked our show notes, now is the time to show up! We missed Liat #passover on this episode but we promise we talk about so much during this episode that whether you are in the field or not you will want to tune in. Love you. Mean it.
