Al & Jerry: Picking out tourists in NYC is easy and why are people from different parts of the country so different?

The World Cup is in America and Europeans are losing their minds — in the best possible way. A German named Freddy went tubing down the Chattahoochee, discovered Buc-ee's, watched an eagle fly around a stadium, and declared it the most "European mind can't comprehend" moment of his life. A Swedish woman tried ranch dressing and said it was like crack. Bridget breaks down why watching foreigners fall in love with Real America is the 250th birthday celebration we actually needed — and why we take all of it completely for granted. Also: Tom Brady launched a coconut water brand called Good Nut and the slogan is "It's a Delicious Mouthful." #WorldCup2026 #America250 #dumpsterfire Topics covered: World Cup 2026 USA, Europeans discover America, Buc-ee's, ranch dressing, Freddy Germany World Cup, America 250th birthday, European mind can't comprehend, Tom Brady Good Nut, Waffle House, American culture

Welcome to The Treehouse Show, where stupid news, celebrity birthdays, and questionable life choices all come together under one roof.We kick things off with one of the internet's most heated debates: Is it okay to throw your bagged dog poop into someone else's trash can? A viral social media post sparked a surprisingly fierce argument, and we weigh in on whether it's harmless convenience or a neighborhood crime worthy of public shaming.Then we head to the UK, where a frustrated farmer finally reached his breaking point after people repeatedly parked on his property and damaged his fences.

There are some roads around the world that are both breathtaking and super dangerous! The North Yungas Road in Bolivia, also known as "Death Road," winds through steep cliffs with barely any guardrails to protect drivers. In India, the Leh-Manali Highway takes travelers through high mountain passes, but its narrow, rough roads make for a thrilling, heart-pounding ride. Tourists visiting these places are drawn by the beautiful views, but you need serious courage to tackle these routes. In Italy, the Amalfi Coast road is stunning but has sharp curves and heavy traffic. Even Iceland's Ring Road can get icy and tricky, especially during winter. If you're into adventure and don't mind a little danger, these roads are a must-see! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Any money made from charging international tourists to visit Aotearoa's most iconic spots should be spent in the region, the attraction is in. That's the view of a Coromandel resident's group. DOC is consulting on plans to charge international tourists a fee at up to ten popular spots around the motu. They include Milford Sound, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and Cathedral Cove. It estimates up to 250,000 people visit the cove near Hahei on the Coromandel Peninsula and 75 percent of them are international guests. Haihei Residents and rate payers Association and chair John Jonassen spoke to Lisa Owen.

Tourists strolling on the foggy night, we could hear men singing in a courtyard just beyond the bridge. Using my iPhone with a Rode Me-L, I walked to the circle of men, paused, and then exited down a narrow pathway between two buildings. Subsequent research confirmed that we were in an historic Jewish ghetto and the occasion for song and feasting was Lag BaOmar. Recorded in Venice by Emiko Morita.IMAGE: G.dallorto, CC BY-SA 2.5 IT , via Wikimedia Commons

New Zealand's cementing itself as a premium tourism destination. Market data from Grand View Research estimates our luxury travel market brought in more than $8 million last year and could double by 2033. Luxury Travel specialist Southern Crossings says overseas couples on their honeymoon for instance, consistently spend about the equivalent of a Central Auckland house deposit. Tourism New Zealand CEO René de Monchy told Heather du Plessis-Allan says we have amazing luxury offerings. He says coming out of Covid, people are really valuing experiences and that translates into their behaviour. “So people are saying after a few years locked up, that's not a natural way to be. Travel is important, experiences are important, and they're willing to spend the money to do it.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, the fifth month of 2026 is complete - and it was another one dominated by the impacts of the US/Israel war in Iran/Lebanon. This week, Gary and Hannah recap May's top 8 travel takeaways from across ASEAN and beyond with stopovers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Cambodia, plus China, India and the UK. En route, we discuss flight route cuts across South East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, and look at whether plans for an ASEAN reserve stockpile of crude oil would ease future jet fuel shocks. Meanwhile, visitor arrivals slowed in key markets and cratered in Cambodia and currency values fell sharply in Indonesia and Thailand. On a brighter note, carriers in Singapore and Malaysia are seeing growth on routes with Australia and Europe. Plus, we assess the surge of Indian tourists to Vietnam, and address the potential benefits of Xiaohongshu's impressive tourism tie-up in Singapore .

Sarah never considered herself the kind of person who goes looking for ghosts. Visiting the Driskill Hotel in Austin was supposed to be more about history, sightseeing, and having fun with friends than chasing paranormal activity.Honestly, the hotel's ghost stories felt a little too polished to take seriously. Haunted room pamphlets. Famous legends. Tourists hoping to see something spooky.But right before leaving the hotel, one final photo on the grand staircase forced her to reconsider everything.What showed up in the pictures didn't look like dust, camera glare, or a random lighting issue. And the stranger part? The same thing appeared twice… moving between shots.Years later, she still isn't sure whether they accidentally captured proof of something paranormal—or whether the Driskill simply has a way of making skeptics question themselves.#RealGhostStories #DriskillHotel #HauntedHotel #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedAustin #OrbPhenomenon #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #TexasGhostStoriesLove real ghost stories?

Often following natural disasters, conspiracists, militias, and white supremacist groups sweep in to hard-hit communities offering help. But they've been called “disaster tourists,” out to soften their image, gain followers and sow doubt in the government. Correspondent Lesley Stahl speaks with law enforcement and a self-proclaimed white nationalist to explore whether this is becoming “the new normal". From the dense jungle in the mountains of western Colombia, correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on how decades of armed conflict between the Colombian government and left-wing guerrillas, right-wing paramilitaries, and narco-traffickers created “no-go” areas where rare species of birds flourish.  Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Grasse in the south of France where flowers for the world's most famous perfume have been grown and gathered for more than one hundred years. In the early 1900s, Grasse was home to more than 10,000 acres of flower fields; today it's just over 100.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Police in Resort Vacation Areas: The Threats and Violent Crime Behind the Illusion of Paradise. To most people, the phrase Police in Resort Vacation Areas brings to mind palm trees, ocean breezes, and a slower, easier pace of life. It's the image of a peaceful escape, where crime feels distant and danger seems unlikely. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. But for retired North Carolina police officer Dondi Day, that perception is not just inaccurate, it's dangerously misleading. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. #Free #Podcast #Radio “People think working in a vacation area would be relaxing,” Day said. “They think it's quieter, safer. But the reality is, bad things still happen and when they do, you may be handling them alone.” Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. A Career Forged in High-Risk, Low-Resource Environments Dondi Day, a retired officer from the Apex Police Department in North Carolina, spent his career serving across four different law enforcement agencies, including several coastal and resort-based communities. These were the kinds of places families travel to unwind, yet behind the scenes, officers like Day were dealing with a completely different reality. Police in Resort Vacation Areas: The Threats and Violent Crime Behind the Illusion of Paradise. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. “In those areas, backup can be a long way off,” he explained. “You might be the only unit available for miles. When something goes bad, you don't have the luxury of waiting, you act.” That reality came into sharp focus during one incident where Day encountered and apprehended four burglary suspects. What could have easily escalated into a life-threatening situation instead became a defining moment in his career. “You rely on instinct, training, and sometimes just sheer will,” he said. “Because there's no one else coming, at least not right away.” Breaking the Myths of Vacation-Area Policing Policing in resort and vacation destinations is surrounded by persistent misconceptions, many of which can distort public understanding and expectations. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. “Small Town Means Safe” One of the most common assumptions is that smaller, vacation-oriented communities are inherently safer than large cities. Police in Resort Vacation Areas: The Threats and Violent Crime Behind the Illusion of Paradise. “People think danger only exists in big urban areas,” Day said. “That's not true. I've seen some of the most dangerous situations in small towns.” In fact, data has shown that a significant portion of officers killed in the line of duty serve in smaller or rural communities, highlighting that The Threats and Violent Crime are not limited by population size. “More Tourists Means More Resources” It's easy to assume that popular vacation destinations are well-funded and well-staffed. But the reality is often the opposite. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Just because a town brings in tourism dollars doesn't mean the police department sees that funding,” Day explained. “A lot of these agencies are understaffed and under-equipped.” Officers frequently deal with: Limited manpower Aging or outdated equipment Long response times Heavy seasonal demand with minimal staffing increases “Police Mostly Handle Serious Crime” Another misconception is that officers in these areas primarily respond to major crimes. Police in Resort Vacation Areas: The Threats and Violent Crime Behind the Illusion of Paradise. “The majority of calls are service-related,” Day said. “Disputes, noise complaints, intoxicated individuals, lost tourists, you name it.” However, that doesn't mean serious incidents don't happen. In fact, the unpredictability of these calls can make them even more dangerous. You can listen to the complete interview for free on our website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major podcast platforms. “You can go from a simple call to a life-threatening situation in seconds,” he added. “Security Systems Replace Police Work” With the rise of vacation rentals and private security systems, many believe that policing needs are reduced. “That's a false sense of security,” Day said. “Cameras don't stop crimes in progress. They don't intervene. That's still on us.” “Community Policing Is Just Being Friendly” Community policing is often misunderstood as simply maintaining a friendly presence. In reality, it's a strategic and proactive approach to crime prevention. “You have to build trust with locals and business owners,” Day explained. “They're your eyes and ears. Without those relationships, you're working blind.” Police in Resort Vacation Areas: The Threats and Violent Crime Behind the Illusion of Paradise. You can find the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. The Real Dangers: Violent Crime in Vacation Destinations While vacation areas may feel like an escape, they are not immune to crime.
