A mystery audio clip is played as part of an "Ask Adam" segment, featuring a man ranting about the truth, illegalities, and the police watching the people. One host incorrectly guesses the speaker is Ross Perot or Ted Kaczynski, only to be informed it is actually Charles Manson. The clip is presented as a commentary on the state of modern industrial society.
Ted Kaczynski, Autograph Market and the Unabomber Manifesto
A discussion on the prescience of Ted Kaczynski's manifesto, "Industrial Society and Its Future," leads to a tangent about the high value of autographs from infamous criminals like Charles Manson. The hosts reflect on how Kaczynski, currently in prison without computer access, foresaw many of the technological issues currently facing society. They joke about the potential value of a signed copy of his manifesto.
Charles Manson, Global Warming and Robot Obama
Convicted cult leader Charles Manson made headlines with eccentric comments regarding environmental issues and politics. Manson reportedly expressed concerns about global warming and claimed that President Barack Obama is a "robot." The hosts dismiss the story as a "distraction" from more substantive news items.
