### Steely Dan Programming and Binary Triggers

- **Episode:** [550: Cyber Insurance](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/550-cyber-insurance.md)
- **Published:** 2013-09-22
- **Time:** 2:42:24–2:44:16
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/550-cyber-insurance/chapter/steely-dan-programming-and-binary-triggers.md

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.

Protests erupt in Jordan over rising fuel prices and government corruption, with demonstrators calling for the fall of the regime. The hosts discuss King Abdullah II's lineage and the use of U.S.-supplied non-lethal weapons against protesters. A tangent explains the origin of the band name "Steely Dan" from a William S. Burroughs novel.
