What is the main topic of today's podcast episode?
2%. That's the number of people who take the stairs when there is also an escalator available. I'm Michael Easter, and on my podcast, 2%, I break down the science of mental toughness, fitness, and building resilience in our strange modern world.
Put yourself through some hardships, and you will come out on the other side a happier, more fulfilled, healthier person.
Listen to 2%, that's T-W-O percent, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, 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 Gen Zillennials.
Woo!
Got us thinking how can we spin off that success and I figured it out with our criminal of the week Yeah, I mean usually the same today's cow criminal of the week is a 17 year old kid in utah who's been going around to different atms in his area duct taping fish to the atm screen He goes by the moniker The Fish Bandit.
Wait, wait, wait. How fresh are these? Can 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's a 17-year-old criminal, you're saying all of this is on social media.
That's right. 57,000 followers actually on Instagram because he's uploading all the footage onto there. And officials say he's duct taped at least 13 fish to 13 different ATMs since last fall.
This is what happens when kids can't rebel drinking or anything. They go with fish.
He has also posted videos around the holidays where he duct tapes them to the side of parked police cruisers. 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 shot caller 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.
Who is the 'Criminal of the Week' and what did they do?
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 to do that. But what's the next best thing to going completely off the grid? Why, taking a nice vacation, of course. 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 wherever 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... Plenty of 20. Okay, let's go. I have a question. Hang on a second. Let me explain more. And you guys know this sound. That's if you guess the number one answer. But today's, it's different. If you guess a particular place from this list, you'll get a special hint for your next guess 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 some of these going to be cities and some like actual like... All of these are cities.
Oh, they're all cities. Okay, there we go. Thank you, that helps because I wrote down a couple things. We drew out of a hat again and the honors go to Jose. Yay!
So Jose, you have the first guess. I'm the teacher's pet. I ask the questions, I'm 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 number one on the list, but not the silver save city today. Remember how we're playing. So, Jose, you're safe, but you don't have the silver save yet. We're on to Alexis now.
Ooh, 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.
Okay, I'm going to go with one of Jose's favorite spots, Honolulu.
