Oh No, Ross and Carrie

Ross shares a talk he gave at SkeptiCamp LA 2024 looking at how practitioners of non-science wall themselves off from criticism. With examples from our prior investigations, Ross examines why an individual or organization might ignore its critics, fight back, vaguebook, flood the zone, cut ties, wall off itself and its members, or elect to positively engage. Plus, some very important and salient information about the communal behaviors of naked mole rats.We have social media: X! Facebook! You can add our RSS feed here.See Ross’s talk on YouTube.

Ross and Carrie examine the claims of Corey Goode, who rose through the ranks of UFO speakers and alleged abductees, ultimately landing himself a recurring gig on Gaia TV before being quietly ejected. Enter Jason Rice, a new Gaia talking head on the very same show, who claims that he – like Corey – was a member of the Secret Space Program, and is in contact with the Blue Avians (™) that Corey either met or (some might say) created. With Corey suing Gaia and others over his “intellectual property,” does that mean it’s… not real?We have social media: X! Facebook!

Carrie tells Ross about a presentation she attended at Contact in the Desert 2023, a Palm Springs UFO conference. Speaker Caroline Cory has, for twenty years, been bringing “as much science as possible” to the study of paranormal topics like extraterrestrial contact, telepathy, information downloads, and mental health. Ross and Carrie analyze this claim. Plus, roving reporter Drew Spears attends a UFO videography class taught by the mysterious Mr. M.We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie announce an exciting upcoming live event, then review Linda Moulton Howe’s “Strange Harvest”, a (local) EMMY WINNING documentary that put everyone’s favorite ufologist / investigative journalist on the map. As Linda walks through a field of literal bullshit, she describes twelve mutilation reports from ranchers and law enforcement, all suggesting that someone is out there, mutilating ranch animals. But who? Ross and Carrie have some ideas, but Linda sees too many strange contradictions.We have social media: X! Facebook!

HOWE does she do it?! Carrie attends radio DJ Jimmy Church’s absurdly chummy “Disclosure Lunch,” where Jimmy lets you know JUST HOW GOOD OF FRIENDS he is with Linda Moulton Howe, Whitley Strieber, Danny Sheehan, and other UFO-whistleblower luminaries. While Carrie identifies the cheap pasta sauce, Jimmy obliquely hits on one speaker who claims she is an alien, then shakes each speaker down for a secret. Plus, somehow, Linda manages to bring Carrie to her knees with a single, passing question. Suddenly, Carrie is the one disclosing at the Disclosure Lunch. Pull up some Ragu and hear Ross hear this whole story for the first time.We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie read the 1987 UFO memoir Communion, by alleged abductee Whitley Strieber. What happened on the night of October 10, 1985? What could possibly explain the blue light that fills the family cabin in the middle of the night? Why did Whitley wake up suddenly, filled with dread? Why did his personality change from this moment on? And why didn’t he connect any of this to aliens until three months later? Our intrepid author will answer you in only 299 pages. PLUS, something surprising: Carrie and Ross don’t agree on a movie.We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie ponder new revelations in Whitley Strieber’s recent presentation, “Them,” which he calls “a deep dive into the nature of individual communication with ‘The Visitors.’” These alien beings come to Whitley (and others) from distant stars, to harvest our sperm and trade metals. Whitley compares his own experiences with those detailed in 36 years of fan mail.We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie show up for a “live” chat with the dead, featuring none other than Thomas John, the Seatbelt Psychic medium made infamous by Operation Onion Ring. He tells everyone to lower their standards, then barely grazes the details of a few of their dearly departed. Then, he shares the details of the “thoughts, feelings and impressions” given to him by the spirits, and how they differ from sights and sounds. We have social media: X! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie visit a psychic each, for predictions about their lives. Carrie’s psychic accurately nails Carrie as a no-kids person, while Ross’ psychic inaccurately nails Ross as a no-wife person.

Is Madonna doing OK? What did one daytime talk show psychic predict about Britney Spears? Did Ross, Carrie, or Drew win this year’s prediction challenge? Did Ross stop playing the ponies?

Plus, they watch a reality TV dating show in which a young Kathryn Krick receives her first kiss!We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie introduce you to the faith healer taking off on social media, live from her L.A. church. The bright-eyed apostle once came to Hollywood as a would-be actress and EDM singer. Then one day, a prophet of God stopped her dreams in their tracks with these words: “You are an apostle of Jesus Christ, and you're called to reach the nations. I see you ministering to the masses, and God doing shocking miracles through you.” That’s when she began to cast out demons and “heal” the sick, but not without controversy. Ross and Carrie uncover some of the online turf war, and Carrie wonders if this is her in a parallel life. Meet Kathryn Krick!We have social media: Twitter ! Facebook !

Are you ready for the Harpazo? That’s what all the cool kids are calling the Rapture these days. Ross and Carrie share takeaways from Dr. David Jeremiah’s chart-topping new book The Great Disappearance, including 31 ways to be Rapture-ready, even though that’s really just the number of chapters.

Ross and Carrie share tales of the legendary lake monster, examining sightings from 565 A.D. to present. In the process, they check in with the Loch Ness webcam, the History Channel, Ted Danson, and Scottish tour guides - including a live boat tour of the loch. Does Ross discover an ancient plesiosaur trapped in the highlands? Or maybe just a giant eel? Or does he completely fail to see the Loch Ness Monster? Plus, Carrie needs to get over that submarine incident.We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Carrie tells Ross about Deborah King's presentation "Embrace Your Cosmic Origin." After an Akashic Record visit or three, they learn more about Deborah’s training, legal history, cancer diagnosis, and history as a member of an alien civilization.

Do you hear that? No, it’s not a bald eagle (you don’t want to hear that); it’s the Sound of Freedom. Ross and Carrie watch this controversial biopic, which claims to represent the true story of Tim Ballard and his paramilitary, anti-sex-trafficking charity, Operation Underground Railroad. Critics say the film is QAnon propaganda; fans say it’s the most important film of our time. Ross and Carrie discuss this not-available-on-streaming, deeply average movie.We have social media: Twitter! Facebook! 

Let’s head back to The Ark Encounter! Ross talks with Dan Phelps, president of the Kentucky Paleontological Society and persistent thorn in the side of creationist Ken Ham.

Facebook!

Ross talks with Brian Dunning of Skeptoid about his new film The UFO Movie THEY Don’t Want You To See.

Plus, Brian shares some of his own sightings and their fascinating solutions.We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Healer Gail Thackray demonstrates her incredible reincarnation-monitoring abilities on a fawning crowd. Then she leads Carrie and the others in a memory regression session to explore the past-life origins of their body memories. Finally, Gail “attunes” Carrie’s “psychic opening,” thus preparing Carrie to give past life healings to scads of friends and listeners. Listen in awe as a blind woman is not healed, a lot of people learn they were once Native American, and a lady with no brother is told she kinda has a brother when you think about it.We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie analyze the recent Congressional hearing in which self-identified government whistleblowers declare that the U.S. has long conspired to cover up ongoing contact (and conflict) with extraterrestrials. Does the government have flying saucer fragments in their possession? Have they experimented on alien bodies? How many whistleblowers exactly do these three guys represent? We’d tell you, but it would have to be in private.

Carrie receives a group healing session from Gail Thackray, a spiritual healer, medium, and Reiki master who instantly treats “body trauma,” the alleged corporeal residue of negative personal experiences. Listener, do you have lower back pain? News flash: you’ve got daddy issues. And Gail can heal them in seconds. Plus, Ross discovers an internal inconsistency between the typical reincarnation myth and its tellers.We have social media: Twitter! X? Facebook!

When Carrie’s husband Drew is diagnosed with a large kidney stone, he and Carrie go to the local rickety roller coaster in the name of citizen science. Then they tell Ross all about their scientific findings. Will Drew’s kidney stone break into tiny pieces, thanks to Santa Monica’s 30-year-old West Coaster? Or is a “large” kidney stone TOO large for even a chartreuse caboose to shake it loose?We have social media: Twitter! Facebook! 

Ross and Carrie witness Bashar, a purported extraterrestrial entity, inhabiting a 71-year-old escape room operator.

Ross tells Carrie about attending ONRAC veteran Lori Spagna’s standing-room-only talk at Conscious Life Expo 2023 on calling down divine guidance to up-level your vibration, navigating the Multi~Dimensional Reality, “activating” your DNA, connecting with starseed ancestors and peers, and (you know it, ladies) finding your purpose.

Carrie tells Ross about attending a maximum-capacity talk by Sylvie Sterling, a “a cat whisperer, author, intuitive healer, spiritual teacher, and ascension guide” who serves as “a bridge between cats and [their] people.” After assuring her audience that she doesn’t use any science to make her determinations, she helps the group psychically evaluate the unique role that each person’s cat plays in the universe. Will Carrie’s cat Golly be a lover, supporter, joybringer, protector, soul mate, mirror, muse, teacher, healer, or energy worker? And why is Evening Blocher so testy?We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Carrie goes to a basement meeting for folks who want to learn about immortality from a licensed therapist. Swaha Ron Holman, the creator of Anu Alchemy Ormus (a purportedly magical elixir) delivers secret knowledge about the “immortal siddhas that come and go with a physical body, materializing and de-materializing their physical form.” Ya really had to be there.We have social media: Twitter!

Ross tells Carrie what she missed during LightNet’s Spoon Bending Party at Conscious Life Expo 2023.

Then he uses his potent mental powers to convince a spoon to bend. Carrie follows along at home with her least favorite spoon.We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie pay pet communicator Monica Diedrich to speak with their dog and cat. Carrie asks some heartfelt questions of her 16-year-old dog Ella, while Ross tackles feline issues with Evening. “Dr. Monica” then makes a spiritual connection with each animal and reveals their innermost thoughts and feelings. Ella reveals a confusing health detail, Evening is very much a cat, and Dr. Monica gives a wild answer to the source of her doctorate. Plus, what does a cat look like when she’s being channeled?We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Bob-Larson-certified exorcists Ross and Carrie flout their mentor’s wisdom – and risk becoming possessed – by watching a bad Russel Crowe film. The Pope’s Exorcist (Sony) is loosely based on the life of Gabriele Amorth, a priest who regularly performed exorcisms by direction of the Vatican. Chomping at the beaverneck, protestant exorcist Bob Larson went to see the film on opening weekend (not that he wanted to), so he could warn all of us NOT TO SEE IT. So Ross and Carrie saw it. Hear these two CERTIFIED EXORCISTS review the film AND some original Amorth exorcism footage!We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

He says he’s an enlightened being; she says she’s a walk-in from another plane. But Ross and Carrie say he’s an Australian dude with a knack for pseudo-profundity, and she’s a B-movie actress from Miami who probably got rich suing an airline. Say hello to TwinRay!We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

In the final lark of the Ark arc, Ross tells Carrie about the wild, final hours of the homeschooling conference. Time to pull out the American flags and light the fires! 80s heartthrob Kirk Cameron arrives to tell us all about puritan statuary and kick off a movement that will spread the gospel, but also teach Constitutional literacy and firearm handling.

How does a dictionary work? What questions can science not answer? Did you know your hair holds the key to your divinity? Turns out, the more your hair is like a primate’s… the more evolution is disproven? Time to pull out some microscopes and confirm Genesis 1. Also, Ken Ham is back, and he’s still pissy.We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Carrie shares a talk she gave focusing on the trauma-informed community and its various expressions in therapy and on the internet. Learn how tricky it can be to define trauma, who the major contributors in this space are, and how to navigate the perilous predominance of pseudoscience and avoid the trauma trap. Ready to talk cult studies, retrospective bias, gaslighting, and DARVO? All that sexy stuff is here, and more.Find Carrie’s slides and sources here.We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross rounds out his final analysis of the Ark itself, including educational displays about the Tower of Babel, ancient man, and the real reason we all are here: the Gospel of Jesus Christ (whose Dad is God). Plus, flood myths from other cultures, a possibly disingenuous, bean-based argument, and a very telling analogy involving Plato. The arc of our Ark story is slowly nearing its end. (OR IS IT?)We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

We’ve reached the top deck of Noah’s Ark, so it’s time to send out the doves and see if they find land! We crack the language code, visit our [8] ancestors in their private rooms, learn about Ken Ham’s backstory, and then hop to the other side of the barge for lessons in flood geology and the [1] ice age that occurred 4,000 years ago. Is climate change even happening? Plus, why is Bill Nye the Science Guy on the Ark Encounter?We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross tells Carrie about the fine science of kinds, cleaning up poop, the question of suffering, and why cartoon depictions of Noah’s Ark are sent by Satan.

We’re back at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky!We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

They watch two oddly similar Noah biopics; discuss pooping on the Ark; and learn about the evils of violence, polygamy, music, metalworking, and giants. Plus, Carrie has some concerns about Noah being a shipbuilder by trade, and Ross isn’t sure any of this actually happened.We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

After a brief disembarkation, Ross and Carrie re-board the Ark Encounter as Ross leads Carrie through a tour of the Kentucky creationist landmark. They walk past animal topiaries and carved monuments to begin a thorough inspection of the first deck in this “historical” vessel. Exhibits are discussed in detail, from animal storage to the one thing everyone wants to know: ARE THERE DINOSAURS ON THE ARK? The answer may shock you. (It also might not. There are only two options.)We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie review 2023 predictions from all manner of psychic sources around the globe, and add their own. Plus, they announce two winners of Best Predictor 2022! Is Ross or Carrie more psychic?

It’s another trip to the Ark Experience in Kentucky! This time, Ross learns the miraculous properties of water and how to responsibly light his friends on fire. Next, Carrie and Ross look critically at a homeschooling class on Teaching Critical Thinking. Does the Bible simply offer good advice, or is knowing the Bible itself critical thinking, which flows directly from the Godhead? The answer may not surprise you. Also, Ross takes what might be the most uniquely American photo.We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross is back at the Ark Experience in Kentucky, where he joins a bunch of homeschooling mothers in the kitchen for the busy mom’s guide to romance, sees the full Armor of God in the flesh, and finally memorizes all the key events of the Old Testament using hand motions. Carrie is equally fascinated by chief busy mom Heidi St. John, but can she stay awake through the Bible lesson? It’s an adventure that is positively Ze-rubbable!We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross checks out the gift shop before heading to his favorite event of his entire Ark Encounter: a tour led by Tim Chaffey, content manager for Answers in Genesis’s attractions division. As Ross passes through musically themed halls with a group of headphone-wearing homeschoolers, Tim details the math, analytics, and something you might call science that went into building the Ark Encounter.We have social media: Twitter!

Carrie, the first person to ever have COVID, tells Ross about her intractable symptoms, and get-well-fast scheme: a little-known medicine called Ivermectin (not the horse version). While some people (read: scientists) might consider it a parasite treatment with unproven efficacy for COVID, Carrie can’t resist something that might make her poop her pants. Will she?! Plus, they discuss public health policy, tolerating grey areas, and how we approach science at the edges. We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross talks from across the globe with Sanal Edamaruku, Indian-born author, rationalist and free speech activist, about his investigations into tantric curses, weeping Jesus statues, moving Mary statues, spontaneous combustion, yogic flying, reincarnated millionaires, and much more. We also revisit previous ONRAC investigations such as Amma the hugging saint and the Self-Realization Fellowship for additional insights. And Carrie reminds everyone not to get COVID!We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie rectify their rectums by hand pumping old, weak coffee into their butts. The Implant-O-Rama is the new thing in colonic irrigation for the DIY type, and Ross and Carrie are nothing if not DIT. Will their gut flora improve? Will their toxins deplete? Does their productivity improve? Will Carrie’s IBS disappear? Will Ross hate coffee more in his mouth or up his butt? Plus, tips for hiding your coffee enema habit from your spouse. All this and more, in this painfully gross episode!We have social media: Twitter! Facebook! 

Ross and Carrie spend a couple of weeks forgoing their normal morning routines in favor of Bulletproof Coffee, “the original keto coffee,” which promises to improve their energy, focus, fat-burning, productivity, and emotional stability. Keeping careful logs (you know they will), they chart their experience with this butter-and-oil-laden coffee and compare it to their usual output. Are they bulletproof now? Were they bulletproof before? Does this phrase have a meaning? Find out!We have social media: Twitter! Facebook!

Ross and Carrie welcome Alice Greczyn, an actress and author of the  memoir Wayward: Spiritual Warfare and Sexual Purity. In this funny and painful retelling, a tide of evangelical Christianity sweeps over Alice’s working class family, convincing her parents that God has called them to a life of voluntary poverty. Now, years later in Los Angeles, she sits down with Ross and Carrie to talk about purity culture, revival “miracles,” and the psychological burdens of writing a memoir. We have social media: Twitter!

Carrie’s brand new husband got her a very good gift: a 1994 VHS about UPC bar codes ushering in the end of the world.

Ross and Carrie meet the nonsensically outstanding Sarah Jickling, a wonderful musician, mental health advocate, and ONRAC superfan (she even has the tattoo). Using her musical talent, personal experience with a bipolar spectrum disorder, and evidence-based teaching plan, she taught young students how to spot early and late symptoms of psychosis, sleep paralysis, and other psychological anomalies.

Carrie takes the entire course of homeopathic COVID-19 preventative and orders three at-home test kits, while Ross tries out Los Angeles’ testing system. Plus, they both get antibody evaluations from surprisingly magical places. Also, they forget what they are talking about REGULARLY.For pics and videos, follow us on Facebook or Twitter!You can add our RSS feed here.

Ross and Carrie spend their hard-earned money on three potions from a local alchemist named Swaha Ron. They test two potent “serums,” and Anu Alchemy’s flagship product, Ormus. Will they energetically create a Faraday cage and block EMF radiation? Will the “Do No-Thing” Serum do nothing? Will their skin tighten, and their parrots become surprisingly fertile? Most importantly, will they become a magnet for baseballs?! Only Ross and Carrie have the misplaced enthusiasm to test these claims. And they know just the 90 degree day to do it.For pics and videos, follow us on Facebook or Twitter!

Rounding out the end of their Girl Defined investigation, Carrie tells Ross about the second day of the online “Fearless Femininity” conference, and reviews the sisters’ book.

Carrie takes off on her own (the way a woman should NOT) to attend Girl Defined, a conference for Christian women who want to better honor God’s plan for their lives. Carrie tells Ross all she learned about femininity, and the god-given command to reject the feminist LIE that has tempted women to make independent decisions and have careers outside the home. Blech!

Ross and Carrie revel in a universe that has presented them with their dearest wish: an identical twin for Wim Hof.

Plus, it’s Ross’ birthday and the last day of MaxFunDrive 2020!For pics and videos, follow us on Facebook or Twitter!You can add our RSS feed here.

Ross and Carrie finally do what they came here to do: breathe poorly until they’re lightheaded, and then spend two minutes submerged in ice cold water. As the Wim Hof Method seminar draws to a close, they also learn more about the benefits of cold therapy, and master a breathing technique that they will then quickly abandon so they can jump into a birthing tub full of ice while one of them shouts obscenities. That’s called living, y’all.For pics and videos, follow us on Facebook or Twitter!You can add our RSS feed here.

Ross and Carrie listen up for some rapid-fire science of the human body. They learn some of Wim Hof’s most amazing accomplishments, get a quick overview of the autonomic nervous system, and find out exactly what percentage of human disease “is inflammation.” (Hint: the answer doesn’t make much sense.) Plus, they each show off their lung capacity by holding their breath exactly as long as Wim Hof, give or take five minutes.For pics and videos, follow us on Facebook or Twitter!You can add our RSS feed here.

Ross and Carrie dip their toes into the murky waters of the Wim Hof Method, a strategy for decreasing inflammation, increasing cellular oxygen, and -- of course -- “boosting the immune system,” through extreme cold exposure.  After reviewing the official Wim Hof life story, they attend an event geared to teach this special method for cold resistance, including a breathing technique, prolonged ice baths, and shoeless snow-walking.
