Steely Dan Programming and Binary Triggers

Listeners report hearing Steely Dan's "Reeling in the Years" shortly before it was mentioned on the show, leading to theories about remote programming. One producer suggests Adam Curry's wife, Miss Mickey, might be an operative and that "pancakes" served as a binary trigger during a trip through Utah. The hosts find these "crackpot" theories increasingly plausible.

549: Associative Propaganda

Binary Triggers, Psychotropic Drugs, Media Glitches

The hosts discuss the possibility of "binary triggers" where a combination of psychotropic drugs and specific stimuli in video games could activate a person. They reference past instances of news reporters speaking gibberish on air as potential tests of this technology. They suggest that modern frequencies like LTE and 4G might be unintentionally interfering with human brain waves.
