Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot. But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat just hanging there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Yeah. Listen to ThanksDad on the iHeart Radio App, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed I will be his last target. He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that trust your girlfriends. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the iHeart Radio App, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and you guys know we do Hero of the Week here. I love it. It's been a really popular segment amongst the Jen Zeleniels. Woo! I like that title. Jen Zeleniels and that one drunk lady. But it got us thinking, how can we spin off that success? And I figured it out with our Criminal of the Week. Sometimes it's also the Hero of the Week. Yeah, I mean, usually the same. But today's Cal, Criminal of the Week, is a 17 year old kid in Utah, who's been going around to different ATMs in his area, duck taping fish to the ATM screen. Oh my gosh! He goes by the moniker, the fish bandit. Wait, how fresh are these? Could I take it home and fry it? I don't think so. Wouldn't recommend it, but his tagline is, live, laugh, tape fish on ATMs. Okay. Put that sign up in your living room. So if he has a tagline, he does a 17 year old criminal, you're saying all of this is on social media. That's right. He's got 57,000 followers actually on Instagram, because he's uploading all the footage onto there. And officials say he's duck-tape at least 13 fish to 13 different ATMs since last fall. This is what happens when kids can't rebelle drinking or anything, you know, they go with fish. He has also posted videos around the holidays where he duck-tapes them to the side of parked police cruisers. That's a lot of fish. Get back the man. Where are they coming from? It looks like a lake trout, so I'm guessing he's- He catches them himself for sure. It feels like it. So big congrats to the fish bandit for being our first ever criminal of the week. I hope we make a social media feed. I hope he hits our place soon. I can't wait. Now let's get into the shotcaller question of the day with our criminal of the year, digital Jake for stealing everybody's hearts. Take it away Jake, including our hearts. Go ahead. Well, it's not easy to leave your entire life behind, destroy your belongings, change your identity and vanish forever. Trust me, after cleaning up some of the stunts on this show, I've tried many times. But what's the next best thing to going completely off the grid? I don't know. Why taking a nice vacation, of course. Oh, yeah. I'll take it. And just as important as getting away is figuring out your perfect destination and how do you choose the best ones? Or do it like I do and just rotate the two or three. Just spin the globe and let whatever your finger points. Dude, that'd be amazing. I know how we're going to do it. We're going to play a game where we identify the top 20 most popular vacay spots in America during another round of- Oh, in America. Plenty of 20. Hey, let's go. I have a question. Hang on a second. I'll explain more. And you guys know this sound. That's if you guessed the number one answer. But today's it's different. Oh. If you guess a particular place from this list, you'll get a special hint for your next guest written on a piece of paper only for your eyes to see. Oh my gosh. That's good. Jose, I can answer your question now. Are there some of these going to be cities and some like actual like- All of these are cities. Oh, they're all cities. Okay. You're saying cities. Thank you. That helps. Because I wrote down a couple of things. We drew out of a hat again and the honors go to Jose. So Jose, you have the first guess. I'm the teacher's pet. I ask the questions on sitting in front and I go first. I am going to say because of the restaurants and just the melting pot that it is, I got to go New York first. New York City. That's the choice. That's number one on the list. Not the SilverSafe city today. Remember how we're playing. So Jose, you're safe, but you don't have the SilverSafe yet. We're on to Alexis now. Where I would kill to be right now is Vegas. Yeah. Always. Always. Las Vegas, number three on the list. It's actually okay to kill in Vegas. So you should go there. Everybody gets one. It's Brook's turn. Okay. I'm going to go with one of Jose's favorite spots, Honolulu. Yeah. Hawaii, Brook is actually many places on the list. Okay. So that's taking away Maui, number two, Oahu, number six, Hawaii, the big island, number seven, Hawaii, number 10. So all of Hawaii is now off the list because Brook said Honolulu. Okay. So now it's Jeffrey's turn. You know where I hear a lot of people like to go on like retreats and spa trips to like heal themselves and get away and reset is Sedona, Arizona. Number 12 on the list of most popular vacay spots. Everyone's done really well so far. We're going to go back to Jose. So just like my New York answer, melting pot, lots of food. If I live there, I'd love it. Los Angeles. Los Angeles did not make the vacation spot list. I'm so sorry. Trust me. Do not go back to my hometown. Jeffrey's been writing a lot of negative reviews about his hometown. That's probably why I didn't make the top 20. I'm sorry, Jose's out. We're back to Alexis. I'm going Disney World Orlando, Florida. There it is, Alexis. You've picked our SilverSave City Orlando, Florida's number 14 on the list and you've earned a little hint that you can use towards your next guest. I'm going to pass it to you right now. Yay. We're back to Brook. Okay. I'm going to go with one of my favorite spots to visit Palm Springs. Palm Springs did not make the top 20. How dare you. It's just a bunch of old people playing the clip. No, it's not. It is not. You need to go. Trust me. Let's go over to Jeffrey. I remember my family would always take me to the furniture capital of the world, Asheville, North Carolina. What? Oh, I heard it's really cute there, actually. It's really cute little city. We'd go and sit on well-crafted bar stools inside of giant furniture stores and just live. In Asheville, North Carolina, Jake. Asheville, North Carolina, the home of some great wooden chairs is number 17 on the list. That's a heck of a sign of. Well-known for their ash chairs. That's right. It's Alexis' turn. Okay. Okay. Because of my hint, I'm going to say Fort Lauderdale. Fort Lauderdale. What was the hint? Not in the top 20. I'm sorry, Alexis. I'm going to play. Jeffrey, you're the only person that didn't get one wrong. Let me go over the rest of the top 20 vacation spots. Ones that you guys missed. Number four, New Orleans, Louisiana. Oh, yeah. Number five, it was connected to the hint was Key West, Florida. Yeah, Key West, Florida Keys. San Diego, California, number eight. Savannah, Georgia, number nine. Beautiful. The home of Bachelorette and Bachelorette parties, Nashville, Tennessee. Oh, it was done. We almost said that instead of Palm Springs. Our beloved Charleston, South Carolina. Chicago, number 15. Oh, yeah. Branson, Missouri, Washington, DC, and Austin, Texas was number 20. And the hint didn't even make it for Disney. No, but that was plenty of 20. Okay. All right. Well, I got the most answers right. So I get to choose who's going to get shocked today. And I'm going to go with someone who can't name more than three cities in Florida. Alexis, she's going to be shocked while singing Vacation by the Gogo's. What? Vacation all I ever wanted. Vacation had to get away. Vacation meant to be spent all alone. Vacation all I ever wanted. The rug rats would be so disappointed with you. Oh my God. That is your shock collar question of the day. Okay. We got your phone tab coming up in just a few minutes.
