00:00 - What up.
01:19 - Mailbag - how much ABA is enough, and when does your kid get to be a kid?
24:43 - We talk Back to School.
1:02:04 - The funny tag.

27 min - The Year of No Sleep: An Ali & John Mystery™
And lo, there came a day unlike any other... when our daughter realized, "Hey! There's absolutely nothing constraining me physically to my bed at night! PARTY TIME!!"
Thus began The Year of No Sleep, a tale still told in hushed whispers behind closed doors. Can Ali & John unravel the mystery of how to get their daughter to freakin' go to sleep at night? The answer may astound you!
... but probably not.
NOTE: This episode was recorded weeks ago, before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, which is why it sounds like we're totally ignoring the subject. Sorry about that.
