Podcast Description
The Doc Analyzes Anything
Welcome to The Doc Analyzes Anything — the podcast where curiosity meets chaos (with a touch of credentials). Join Dr. Steve Sparks, BCBA-D, along with Kyle Steury (BCBA) and Brad Clements (actual veterinarian, occasional philosopher) as they take stabs at analyzing all kinds of human behavior — from the quirky to the downright confusing - using science and behavior analysis as their basis.
Ever wonder why people clap when a plane lands? Or why your uncle insists on shouting during Zoom calls? We don’t have all the answers... but we’re happy to pretend we do.
Powered by science.
Driven by nonsense.
Occasionally about cats.
Disclaimer time: Remember, we’re here for curiosity and conversation, not clinical consultation. We break down behavior the best we can from a deterministic, science‑based perspective for education and, more importantly, entertainment purposes only. Nothing you hear should be taken as personal advice, diagnosis, or treatment — so relax, enjoy the analysis, and consult a qualified professional for any individual concerns.
Subscribe, laugh, and learn something weird — because The Doc Analyzes Anything. Literally. Anything.

One time only- drop culture! We talk its psychological implications on consumer behavior, the allure of limited releases, and the economics of contrived scarcity in marketing. The Doc analyzes historical examples of scarcity marketing, the influence of social media, and the value of dining experiences. Steve, Taylor and Kyle analyze how these factors contribute to consumer decisions and the emotional responses tied to purchasing behaviors.
