Listener Donations and the "Polluted" Brown Egg Story
The hosts read letters from donors, including a request for travel karma for a trip to Tokyo. A humorous anecdote is shared about a mother's belief that brown eggs were "polluted" rather than simply coming from a different breed of chicken.
Adam Curry shares a story from 1964 or 1965 when his parents accidentally left him on a plane during a refueling stop in Tripoli, Libya. While his parents were ushered off the aircraft, Curry crawled under the seats to the back of the plane. His mother panicked upon re-boarding and finding an empty bundle of blankets before he was eventually located.
A roadside innovation in the Netherlands is described featuring large vertical nets designed for drivers to throw cans and bottles into while moving. This "game-ified" approach to litter reduction is compared to a childhood anecdote from the Curry family. In that story, children were encouraged to eat apples during road trips so they could throw the cores at stop signs as a reward.
