When air force  Sargent Rich Fritz died in 2001, many thought his death was suspicious. He was young, fit, and had never had health concerns. His young wife Tammy, invited Rich's best friend, Bo, to move in, just as friends--it would give him a place to live, AND he could help take care of Christian, Rich and Tammy's young son. But then, weirdly, Bo started having close calls with death. And Tammy's behavior only continued to get...stranger.

Send us a textThe Long Journey continues, and this time it must be considered a cult classic.  And so, we take a trans-dimensional trip back in time to watch 1984's "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension," about a neurosurgeon-physicist-rock star and his posse, The Hong Kong Cavaliers, fighting a bunch of aliens all named John. Yeah, it's ridiculous.  It received mixed reviewed upon its release, but for some, became a cult classic, still enjoyed to this day.  And when it comes to mixed reviews, the MRT crew is no exception.So grab your Kool-Aid, zip up your track suit, and consult Mother God, as we explore the what, why and how of cult classic films... because wherever you go, there you are.

Two pregnant women, Laci Peterson and Evelyn Hernandez, are found dead in the SF Bay. The similarities in the murders are staggering, but the coverages of the cases couldn't be more different. Laci Peterson became a household name whereas Evelyn Hernandez was all but overlooked and forgotten. Looking back on the cases now, investigators wonder, Is there a connection between the murders? And what can we learn from how differently these cases were handled? SPRING/SUMMER MERCH IS HERE!  Check out the new swag at our website!

Amy Carlson, the self-proclaimed “Mother God,” spent years convincing followers that she was a divine being preparing for ascension. But when her health deteriorated—suffering from anorexia, alcohol abuse, and alarming physical decline—her devoted followers didn't step in to save her. Instead, they believed her body was transitioning, waiting for galactic beings to claim her. Dr. Phil unpacks the cult's disturbing final chapter, from Amy's frail condition to the bizarre beliefs that ultimately led to her tragic end. With exclusive analysis and expert insights, this episode exposes the cult's manipulative control, dangerous devotion, and the shocking reality of what happened when their leader needed help the most.

Graham Hornigold, a London-based pastry chef, grew up fantasizing about one day meeting his birth mother. And then in 2020, a woman reached out to say it was she--his birth mother. She said she had never stopped loving him--or looking for him--and she too was hoping for a reunion. The timing was perfect, as Graham's wife, Heather, was about to give birth to their first child. And it didn't hurt that Graham's long lost mother WAS TOTALLY LOADED, ABOUT TO DIE, AND LEAVE HER LITERAL HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO HIM. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Amy Carlson—better known as “Mother God”—appeared on "Dr. Phil" in 2020, about a year before her shocking and tragic end. She claimed to be a 19-billion-year-old divine being with the power to cure diseases. In reality, she was a cult leader who manipulated followers through bizarre beliefs, financial scams, and toxic control. Dr. Phil analyzes "Love Has Won", exposing the group's disturbing rituals, their leader's extreme behavior—including consuming alcohol all day—and the astonishing sums they charged for fake miracle cures. From Amy's delusional claims of reincarnation to the alarming stories of child mistreatment and psychological control, this episode uncovers how breaking free from her grasp was a matter of life and death.

When Matthew Jacobs, a young oil worker, became the richest man in Camden, Arkansas after winning a nearly $2 million lawsuit, he suddenly had a LOT of new friends. But then when Matthew was killed in a car accident that was suspicious (to say the least), the town quickly divided over what they think really happened. And at the center of it all was Donna Herring, a local real estate agent who, somehow, found herself in charge of Matthew's entire estate. AND WE HATE HER!

In this wonderful episode, writer Stephanie G shares with Terri Petersen her experiences as a Latter-day Saint in a patriarchal system. Together, she and Terri mourn what was lost to them through the church's purity and modesty culture, leading to body image issues, irrational notions that they are in charge of men's thoughts, and more. In another section, they discuss the frequent rhetoric from men about their needing women, but only for the service they provide, and never their ideas and self empowerment. They also talk about how many women feel "unsafe" in situations in which they are forced to counsel or be interviewed by men. A particularly poignant section is introduced by Stephanie G reading parts of an essay describing her feeling compelled to engage in a temple assignment while she was postpartum, with her body aching to be with her child, including having her breasts leak onto her body and through a temple shield. Her descriptions are powerful reminders about the war between what we think we must do and what women's bodies, their temples, are compelling them to care about. They also talk about what advice they would give to their younger selves, focusing primarily on claiming God's grace and giving grace to themselves. They talk about messages they inherited from having to face the prospect of living polygamy and how it complicates for the church its messaging about Heavenly Mother. Stephanie G also shares ways that she imaginatively inserts the Mother God into scriptural and other stories that have left her out. They close with a discussion about dealing with their anger over experiences stolen from them through their imbibing messages that support patriarchy and women's secondary importance in God's plan. How are they now trying to use that anger more productively as they continue to engage with Mormonism. This is a rich and powerful episode! Don't miss it!

On August 10, 2005, 18 year old Aliza Parsy was found murdered in her Staten Island home. She was naked, the house had been ransacked, and the killer had managed to leave precious few clues behind. As investigators peel back the layers of Aliza's life--from who her friends were to the pressures she felt growing up in a strict Orthodox Jewish community, several potential suspects emerge. But when the killer is revealed,  everyone who knew Aliza is shocked.

Title: The Type of Mother God Chooses Speaker: Pastor Bruce Burkett Text: Matthew and Luke

Dave Brisbin 5.11.25 Our English words patriarchal and paternal descend from the Latin word pater, father. We know about patriarchy—society organized around male domination, often to the point of excluding women—but paternalism is restricting the freedom and autonomy of others under the guise of protecting their own welfare. The US started out patriarchal but not paternal. We didn't allow women to vote until 1920 but also didn't collect income tax until 1913, generally leaving people to fend for themselves for better or worse. Today, we're thankfully much less patriarchal, but much more paternal. On Mother's Day, this is something to consider, because the church also been shamefully patriarchal, reflecting the culture around it. But since scripture does appear to portray God as male, is God patriarchal and/or paternal? We may wish God to be more paternal, happy to give up freedom for better risk control…but patriarchal? Male? Though we won't find Mother God in the scriptures, the Hebrew mind couldn't conceive of father without mother. In their very language, father meant “strong house” and mother, “strong water,” the glue that held the family together. There could not be one without the other. God was seen as father in creating the heavens and earth around us, but the Hebrew words for spirit, kingdom, wisdom, presence, were all feminine—spirit was “she” and kingdom was “queendom.” There was no God short of the full spectrum of attributes we see between father and mother, and the wisdom, compassion, intuition, devotion of God is portrayed over and over in both testaments as a God in labor, giving birth, nursing, comforting, caressing. Jesus always led with mother first, breaking ritual and social barriers in order to establish compassionate relationship before he ever instructed paternally. Father may symbolize strength, but without Mother, there is no reason to be strong. Scripture shows us a necessary and complementary balance, but more essentially, that we will never know Father God until we first experience God as Mother. All of God. God is an eternal oscillation between mother and father, a paradox we can never resolve.

Dave Brisbin 5.11.25 Our English words patriarchal and paternal descend from the Latin word pater, father. We know about patriarchy—society organized around male domination, often to the point of excluding women—but paternalism is restricting the freedom and autonomy of others under the guise of protecting their own welfare. The US started out patriarchal but not paternal. We didn't allow women to vote until 1920 but also didn't collect income tax until 1913, generally leaving people to fend for themselves for better or worse. Today, we're thankfully much less patriarchal, but much more paternal. On Mother's Day, this is something to consider, because the church also been shamefully patriarchal, reflecting the culture around it. But since scripture does appear to portray God as male, is God patriarchal and/or paternal? We may wish God to be more paternal, happy to give up freedom for better risk control…but patriarchal? Male? Though we won't find Mother God in the scriptures, the Hebrew mind couldn't conceive of father without mother. In their very language, father meant “strong house” and mother, “strong water,” the glue that held the family together. There could not be one without the other. God was seen as father in creating the heavens and earth around us, but the Hebrew words for spirit, kingdom, wisdom, presence, were all feminine—spirit was “she” and kingdom was “queendom.” There was no God short of the full spectrum of attributes we see between father and mother, and the wisdom, compassion, intuition, devotion of God is portrayed over and over in both testaments as a God in labor, giving birth, nursing, comforting, caressing.

In October of 2020, Brittany Smith was brutally attacked in her home. In order to save herself, she shot and killed her attacker. By all accounts this is a clear case of a person legally acting in self defense. But the question is, does this law apply equally to men and women? I think you know the answer.

This episode is sponsored in part by BetterHelp. New Age isn't just sage bundles and Instagram affirmations. It can also be a fast track to conspiracy-laced belief systems, grifty gurus, and straight-up cults. In this episode, we're joined by journalist and podcaster Leah Sottile, whose new book Blazing Eye Sees All takes a sharp look at how New Age spirituality has seeped into American culture, and not always in ways that sparkle. We dig into the strange and disturbing world of Love Has Won, a New Age cult led by self-proclaimed deity Amy Carlson, aka Mother God, who gained infamy for turning blue from drinking colloidal silver. (Yes, really.) Leah breaks down how Carlson built a loyal following online, why her followers believed she channeled Robin Williams, and how the group continued after her death. We also talk about the deeper issues hiding behind the crystal curtains—like why women are often drawn to New Age ideologies, the patriarchal dynamics hidden in so-called matriarchal cults, and the troubling rise of antisemitism in these belief systems. This one is equal parts fascinating and horrifying. Come for the blue lady, stay for the sharp insight.

On October 21, 2021, on the set of the movie RUST, a prop gun held by actor Alec Baldwin fired a live bullet, wounding the film's director and killing its cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins. Within hours, the catastrophic accident was international news. In this documentary, part "who done it" and part tribute to Halyna, investigative filmmakers try to get to the bottom of what really happened on set that day and what, if anything, we can learn from this horrific event.  WE'RE ON YOUTUBE!  Want to view the episodes and not just listen?  Check our new video feed to see full video episodes starting today.
