The show discusses the age of self-censorship and how it affects our careers as clinicians, specifically clinicians that work with vulnerable populations. It will tie in free speech, current controversies and ‘touchy subjects’ within the practice of Applied Behavior Analysis, and the pursuit of truth as an outspoken practitioner.
What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Empowering People with Disabilities
Dylan and I discuss the Industrial Revolution and how it has made us all similar to the "fitless humans" in the movie Wall-E. Between the habit of poor positioning when we scroll on our phones on the couch, to education systems keeping children sedentary, our society as Americans is quickly headed towards poor health and, possibly, a lifetime of pain. This is especially pronounced for those with disabilities, who may lack the language and cognitive capacity to fully understand how to address and communicate pain, manage pain, and strengthen themselves with the human body armor that is muscle. Can people with disabilities still benefit from good nutrition, lifting heavy things, and a life similar to that of the Hadzabe tribe? Hell yeah, they can! We just have to be willing to do it ourselves.

1. Continue to walk for 30 minutes, 3 times per week.
2. Choose a habit you'd like to change, and simply carry around a notecard or notepad to which you'll tally off whenever you engage in the habit.
3. If you are religious about your Apple Watch, try taking it off for an entire day and make note of what you feel.
4. Sit on the floor, with your back unsupported, for 10 minutes while you're watching a TV show or answering emails.

How Your Phone Is Turning You Into A Degenerate
HOUSEKEEPING:
1. Dylan and I are starting a nonprofit related to common-sense approaches to health, wellness, and building of communities to mitigate poor mental health and bad therapy. With a slew of psychotropics and endless access to useless "therapeutic" interventions, we are attacking Big Pharma the Mayan Way: through togetherness, community-based strategies, and offering people purpose and meaning over digital prestige.
2. In an effort to detox ourselves and others from the effects of cesspool-gram, we have started a pen pal club! If you'd like to help us send letters to all of our clients who get lonely during the holiday season, please email me at theangrybehavioranalyst@gmail.com for details.
Challenges of the Week:
1. Walk for 30 minutes, 3 times per week.
2. Delete all social media apps and any access to social media for 1 consecutive week.
3. Spend 3-5 minutes every day completely devoid of stimulation; no phone, no talking, no TV, no computer, no nothing.
4. Report your findings to us theangrybehavioranalyst@gmail.com

Post-Unpopular: Is Our Field Saved?
In short: no. The long answer: while this may have been a great step for our field, as we need to start somewhere, Dylan and I discuss the necessary steps that each individual needs to take in order for something like the Unpopular Conference to have long lasting effects. Pssst: it starts with you. We also go into depth about what our plans are, if I'm leaving the field or not, and what our next venture may be post-Nazi-Gate.
