What makes the perfect vacation? Is it the relaxation of white sand beaches, the excitement of theme parks, or the cultural richness of America's great cities? In this lively debate, three friends with wildly different travel preferences face off in the ultimate vacation bracket challenge.

Starting with sixteen premier U.S. destinations—from Hawaii's volcanic shores to New York's concrete jungle—we systematically narrow down America's best getaway spots through passionate (and often hilarious) discussion. As spring break approaches, our vacation philosophies clash in surprising ways, revealing deeper truths about what we each value in our precious time away from work.

The conversation takes unexpected turns as Hawaii faces Cape Cod, Chicago battles Destin, and Orlando squares off against Boston. Listen as we weigh factors like food quality, entertainment options, relaxation potential, and even people-watching opportunities. "Put me on a beach—that's the only place I can relax," declares one friend, while another argues for the unmatched cultural experiences of urban destinations.

Florida destinations perform remarkably well, with multiple Gulf Coast locations advancing to the later rounds. When Vegas and New York City face off, the debate reaches peak intensity with declarations like "Vegas has everything New York has, but better" meeting fierce resistance. By the time we crown our champion, we've uncovered not just America's best vacation spot, but fundamental differences in how we approach leisure time.

Whether you're planning your next getaway or simply enjoy travel debates, this episode offers both entertainment and inspiration. What's your ideal vacation destination? Where would you place your travel bracket votes? Join the conversation and let us know where we got it right—or completely wrong!

Speaker 3:

Let me tell you, it's all, let me. Yeah, there's man.

Speaker 2:

The last time we went, uh, we saw a show on broadway and the show was just okay, but brooke shields was the star. This was like in 2004. It was great. It was just a great show.

Speaker 3:

Last time I was there it was, uh, it was in the winter and we were on the today show, my buddy Phil and I.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we were all over the Today Show. That's when Meredith Vieira and. Ann Curry were still there you going anywhere for spring break. No, no, just sitting around watching the paint dry, chilling, no just hanging out, just me.

Speaker 1:

So I'm the only traveler.

Speaker 2:

All right, so we have a bracket challenge today for vacation spots Vacay.

Speaker 3:

In the United States only, or we're all 50.

Speaker 2:

We're all 50 without Alaska. I don't believe in going to Alaska on vacation.

Speaker 1:

What about the territories?

Speaker 2:

Nope no territories, no Puerto Rico, no US Virgin Islands. Nope, I'm Chris, I'm Greg.

Speaker 1:

I'm not Mark, I'm just kidding, kidding.

Speaker 3:

And what else do we have to say before?

Speaker 2:

we start. Yes, chris I'm greg.

Speaker 3:

What else we have to say before we start? Shalanta yeet, yeet, yeet, yeet, eight, eight yeets you got eight yeets on tv. The other day.

Speaker 2:

So I want just a tiny little bit of credit. That's pretty strong. I mean, you come out with yeet out of the other day. I want just a tiny little bit of credit for that. That's pretty strong.

Speaker 1:

You come out with yeet out of the gate. It was like yeet happy to be here.

Speaker 3:

What makes me go yeet?

Speaker 1:

What breakfast cereal makes the superintendent go?

Speaker 3:

yeet.

Speaker 1:

And the answer was grape nut, grape nut. He misunderstood they didn't say yeet, they said something else it rhymes with yeet.

Speaker 3:

They said something else. It rhymes with yeet and starts with an.

Speaker 1:

S-H.

Speaker 3:

More like something you put on the bed the sheet.

Speaker 1:

It was a good interview, it was awesome, and then some lady texted into you.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, some lady.

Speaker 2:

Benita Lesher texted in and said can you have the superintendent say yeet.

Speaker 1:

Which was great. Did Jennifer Perkins say anything about it?

Speaker 2:

uh, she afterwards she was like what was all that yeet did?

Speaker 3:

she tell you to go play with your boyfriends in the sandbox. No, no, just curious all right.

Speaker 2:

All right, let's hit it. All right vacation. We got 16 vacation spots. They are seated, and this was semi, according to to a U S news and world report, article uh, mixed in with a few others that are kind of favorites of ours.

Speaker 1:

Let's go as well.

Speaker 2:

All right. Number one Hawaii versus Cape Cod, and Hawaii is, you know, Maui, Honolulu, wherever.

Speaker 1:

Well, I'll be quick on this cause. I've never been to any of them, it's okay. You can have an opinion, but if I was going to pick one, to go to it would probably be hawaii.

Speaker 2:

Okay, um, I definitely prefer kona hawaii over cape cod okay, I'm gonna go yes I'm gonna go cape cod, just to be the difference I've been to both I've been both of these. I would not want to go back to hawaii, just personally it was travel.

Speaker 1:

Is I mean yeah, yeah and um, everything's super expensive.

Speaker 2:

Uh, the beaches are really really nice, but so are they in other places that are close what?

Speaker 3:

what I like about the cape cod area up in there is the fresh seafood.

Speaker 1:

It's phenomenal it's unbelievable, but that would do absolutely nothing. Correct?

Speaker 3:

but here's the other thing though I think places like cape cod and cape hatteras not cape hatteras cape cod and kenny bunkport and all that. It's prettier in the fall. In the summer it's still pretty, but not great. Hawaii gorgeous all the time, that's true, and I'm still getting the fresh seafood, but I'm getting different cultures. I'm getting fresh coffee, I'm getting fresh pineapple.

Speaker 2:

I am 100 on hawaii all right, so we're, we're on hawaii and that's good. All right, yeah that works. The second one, chicago versus destin. Yep, oh, that's a rough one for me. Yeah, I know, I knew this one would be a tough one for you.

Speaker 1:

The reason why it's a rough one for me. Destin technically miramar beach, right beside of destin is my favorite beach that I've been to in Florida, chicago. In the summer going to a Cubs game is as good as it gets.

Speaker 2:

How about Chicago in the winter?

Speaker 1:

I have been to Chicago in the winter and the kids ice skated and the wind chill got down on New Year's Eve to a negative 30. It's the coldest. I mean they were complaining about how cold it was.

Speaker 2:

I have only been to Chicago in the winter, I've never been in the summer. And it was New Year's actually, which is wild, and it was to go see a show. We actually saw White Christmas up there, janie would say.

Speaker 1:

Destin. But I'm going to say Chicago All right, look Destin.

Speaker 3:

But I'm going to say Chicago, all right, look. No disrespect to Chicago.

Speaker 2:

Sure.

Speaker 3:

It's like Cincinnati or any other town. Sure, I am anti-concrete jungle Gotcha. You know it's a cool town. There's a lot of cool stuff to do Absolutely I like it. Chicago's a very expensive city, no question it's unique to get around with the E-trains and all that now, but if I'm going for a week destined, yeah sure, if we're talking three days chicago well, but again I go back to.

Speaker 3:

It's so cool, there's so many things to do. But put me on a beach. That's the only place I can relax, I could get away. I don't have to think about anything. I have to worry about going point a to point b, what I'm going to do for dinner, because, quite frankly, I could sit there all day. Yeah, watch the people, watch the sun, feel the wind, feel the breeze, get sand out of my crotch, it's all good destin.

Speaker 2:

Destin for me as well, though. I really like chicago.

Speaker 1:

Uh, the cuisine in chicago is next level, and destin's a beach, and there really isn't a whole lot more for me than than that I I like distance'll tell you, and I don't know what else is on your list, but if Destin's Beach was textured like Hilton Head's Beach, that'd be my favorite beach in the world.

Speaker 3:

What else do we get at Destin, though?

Speaker 1:

Because you get Whataburger, what, what. But the cool thing about Destin and this is the only time I ever eat seafood is we go out fishing and then we go to AJ's in Destin and they'll just cook it for you Any way you want it. Yeah, and we went out fishing, brought in a mess of fish. They just cooked it all different ways, and that's the only time I ever eat seafood.

Speaker 3:

And you ate a lot of it too. How cool was it when we took the kids fishing off the pier.

Speaker 1:

We're catching these fish. Mark that got these suckers on their head. You can literally stick them to concrete pylons.

Speaker 3:

It looks like a tire. It looks like a tire on the back.

Speaker 2:

You just throw your bait out and it's instantly you start reeling one in. Is that like the three-eyed fish in the Simpsons episode?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, All right.

Speaker 2:

So, Destin it is, we move on. This is a fun one. Orlando versus Boston.

Speaker 1:

I've never been to Boston.

Speaker 2:

You have I like.

Speaker 1:

Boston, I would go with Orlando because there's so much to do, right, you've got. Disney I mean Disney's hard to beat. Yep, universal Studios for older kids is better than Disney.

Speaker 3:

Right 10,000 times.

Speaker 1:

But I've got to go with Orlando. I've never been to Boston, but I've got to go with Orlando. There's so much stuff to do there. Boston's cool man. Boston's so cool and you're only an hour from a beach.

Speaker 3:

That's true. Boston is awesome For the historical side of things. With the food, you guys know that I like craft beers. There's a huge craft beer thing. I know it's shocking. You also the only. I'm also getting older. I'm not mark's age, but I'm getting older. I'm also the only beer brother currently consuming moosehead lager and I have.

Speaker 1:

I have my stanley full of water I got my ohio state national champions.

Speaker 3:

Io mine is moosehead canadian lager ice water, but anyhow, yeah, boston's so cool man, so choose it man. But oh gosh, get it. You know Orlando, though it's still Florida and you've got all. And I hate amusement parks. I get hives thinking about them. I don't mind amusement parks, but I love Epcot. Epcot's where it's at. Well, Epcot, you'm going.

Speaker 2:

Orlando, Orlando for me. I'm a big Disney guy. I love it. Drinking around the world thing is a hoot.

Speaker 1:

The six of us need to go to Disney without children, 100%.

Speaker 2:

It's more fun without them, it's a much better trip as adults.

Speaker 1:

Catesby Woodford, one of my law partners. He said it's better without kids.

Speaker 3:

What's his name? Catesby. Oh, and does he play lacrosse?

Speaker 1:

No, he's from Mount Sterling, don't even try to give us the rich man talk.

Speaker 3:

Bring me a beverage Catesby.

Speaker 2:

The only reason you're saying it that way is because you've said it that way, right.

Speaker 3:

I'm so sorry, catesby, come for coffee. Next one, washington. Sorry, all right, can't speak.

Speaker 1:

Come for coffee.

Speaker 2:

Next one Washington DC versus Gatlinburg. Oh, this is a tough one too Lived in Washington DC for a year.

Speaker 3:

When you went to Georgetown college, when I went to Georgetown college, right, as you know.

Speaker 1:

Um, for a vacation, though, I'm probably picking Gatlinburg.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Look as a uh Look as a, you can't get an ogre, though here comes a 20-minute discussion over why Gatlinburg is Again.

Speaker 3:

I love DC. I do, but I'm going to tell you, I like to be amongst them. At certain points of my life, at certain points of my years, I like to be amongst them. That sounds a little uppity, I agree no question Let me tell you, you put me in Gatlinburg any time of the year.

Speaker 1:

You're down, I'm one of them then. I'm not just amongst them, I'm one of them. What does Gatlinburg have that Washington DC doesn't? Fanny Farkle Ogledog.

Speaker 3:

That's true.

Speaker 2:

Publix oh yeah, Swing Boom.

Speaker 3:

Sw, swing, speaking, of which Lexington has won. Now, lexington, baby yeah, have you been yet? Not yet, but my daughter's been twice.

Speaker 1:

She's all about it, so Guava pastry baby.

Speaker 2:

So are you choosing Gatlinburg? Absolutely, I am choosing Gatlinburg as well. Dc is, from a history perspective, it's awesome all the monuments but once you see it. One time the Smithsonian. You could just spend days in Chocolate City?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but look, how many times are you going to go see the Washington Monument? Seriously, exactly, once you see it?

Speaker 2:

you see it, it's like the Grand Canyon, it's a great big hole.

Speaker 3:

You know, okay, never seen it. That may be coming up, I'm not sure, yep yep.

Speaker 1:

All right. Next Yellowstone versus Nashville Is Yellowstone. It's the one.

Speaker 2:

Yellowstone, I got to the Dutton Farm.

Speaker 1:

Not the Dutton Ranch.

Speaker 2:

Yellowstone National Park and that, you know, touches I was just there. Four states.

Speaker 1:

I remember there used to be a park around here called Jellystone.

Speaker 2:

Can I begin this one? Yes, Yellowstone All day all night Never been, it is amazing. I've been many times because, as you know, my wife's family that's where she grew up in cody wyoming, right outside of yellowstone. So we've been many, many times and it is awesome I was in yellowstone last month yeah do you remember correctly?

Speaker 1:

yep, you were what do you think about?

Speaker 3:

it. It's gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. My thing is your. What are you going to go for? So, if you're limited, if you're going to go hiking for the week on vacation?

Speaker 1:

that's not a goal.

Speaker 3:

I'm not a hacker, or if you're going to go to the cuisine, the honky tonks and the uh, the flowing beers of nashville I mean, how many days can you do that, though realistically?

Speaker 1:

nashville. For me, nashville's a two or three day kind of. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I mean there's another thing on the bracket coming up that I think's great for two or three days.

Speaker 3:

But I'll tell you if I had to pick between that. If do I want to hike for a week and see the sights and sounds, which is gorgeous, or go drink beer and listen to honky tonk country music, and I'd rather go to nashville okay, you got to be the type I gotta.

Speaker 1:

I gotta go with nashville because I don't know enough about yeltsin. Right, fair enough, that's better than jellystone to me that's an upset.

Speaker 2:

That's that's a pretty big upset, but all good, all right. The next one, la los angeles versus the tampa st pete area, easy including the beaches yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 3:

You said it was easy I've driven in la multiple times yeah it sucks driving in la dodger, stadium's's cool, anaheim's cool, disney's cool out there, even California's cool the traffic sucks. It's not worth it. I've done Hollywood. I've seen the houses, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I am Tampa, st Pete. We grew up going to St Pete. I had an aunt and uncle in Largo. I love it Going to Tampa.

Speaker 1:

St Pete. I wonder what kind of estate they had.

Speaker 3:

It was in a trailer park. It was a retirement home.

Speaker 1:

His uncle had some estate.

Speaker 2:

I think there was actually a plantation.

Speaker 3:

Listen if you've not stayed at the Don Cesar, the pink hotel on the beach. You're missing out. It's haunted.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we have not, because it's a little pricey.

Speaker 3:

I've never stayed there. I've never stayed there, so Tampa, st Pete.

Speaker 2:

Actually, I have stayed there, you're going to Tampa, tampa, st Pete.

Speaker 3:

Actually, I have stayed there. Where am I? I got my reservation canceled. You're going to Tampa. I'm going to Tampa. I used to live there. Why is that?

Speaker 2:

There's a wealth of things to do. You have some of the best beaches, in my opinion, in the world. You have great food. You have great culture. Burns Steakhouse. I could just say it just for Burns Steakhouse the weather's amazing you have so many beaches, how do you keep them in line?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly I love, I'm going to go with LA. I've never been to the Tampa St Pete area. I've also never been to LA, but I'm going to.

Speaker 3:

LA this summer.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to tell you something LA's great.

Speaker 1:

But I'm only going to be there for a couple of days, after about two days, you're good with. La. Yeah, I'm only going to be there for like two days, you will see every sign of life in LA.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, true story. I don't care where you're at.

Speaker 2:

The culture is so different. I've been a few times and it's great. But yeah, a lot of Florida places are winning. Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1:

And, by the way, in the bracket so far, a lot of Florida's undefeated, by the way, once I saw Columbo's house, peter Fox house in.

Speaker 3:

LA you were done.

Speaker 2:

I'm good. Now I can. Now I can die and be happy Wow.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, those bus tours LA not live in LA.

Speaker 3:

Good question, lower Anderson County, all right.

Speaker 2:

The next one, the Grand Canyon versus Las Vegas, two attractions that are within driving distance Four hours.

Speaker 1:

Never been to the Grand Canyon. Another one I've never been to Las Vegas. I think it's great for two, three days at most, I agree. Now, how long can you go to the Grand Canyon?

Speaker 2:

Exactly, it's a big hole you can ride a donkey down it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 2:

This one's a tough one. Vegas, I'm going with Vegas. I'm going with Vegas too.

Speaker 1:

There's so many things to do in Vegas For a few days, not for a long time, but here's the thing.

Speaker 3:

There's so many things you can do Even if you don't go to the Strip.

Speaker 2:

there's so many things to do yeah, great shows, amazing, yeah, amazing. And the last one New York City, new York City, you got into that salsa.

Speaker 1:

Versus. Can I get some of that while I'm up there? Oh?

Speaker 2:

yeah.

Speaker 3:

Versus.

Speaker 2:

Miami, slash the Keys.

Speaker 3:

Oh no, wait a minute, that's completely different.

Speaker 2:

It is, but I'm grouping them together.

Speaker 3:

It's my brand no way. All right, keys. I'm just saying Keys. I'm not going Miami, I don't care for Miami, I love the Keys. I'm going Keys, all right, I like Key Lime Pie oh original Key Lime.

Speaker 1:

Pie but you know what I like better than that Steak there you go New York, right Peter. Lugers, I'm going to try to get in there while we're there. You better make a reservation now. New York. I'm going to go with New York.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to go to New York too.

Speaker 1:

I've never been to New York, but I'm going to go with it.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to New York. There's just so much to do. Broadway in and of itself is just awesome. That's a couple three days. The cuisine, yep, sorry.

Speaker 1:

We're going to be there five days. We fly up on Monday and fly back on Friday, but we got three school visits, so that's going to be some of the days, and we got a photo shoot and stuff.

Speaker 3:

I didn't realize. Georgetown college had a branch up there oh yeah, georgetown college legit nyu, by the way that's on the list.

Speaker 2:

Love it all. Right, we're down to eight. It is the first bracket. Is hawaii versus destin.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to start it. I'll go with Destin because I've never been to Hawaii and Destin is my. Like I told you, if Destin's beach was hard, like Hilton Head's beach is, I think it'd be the perfect beach Because I love the color. I don't like Destin proper. I like the outskirts of Destin better. I don't like how it takes us 45 minutes to get to the other end where we go fishing at or where we stay at.

Speaker 1:

But I think Destin's beach and the water is about as pretty as it gets in the continental United States.

Speaker 3:

Go ahead, I'll be the tiebreaker.

Speaker 2:

You may not have to break the tie.

Speaker 1:

He may pick Destin.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to go Destin here. Hey, you do it.

Speaker 3:

You should have went second. We'll make it a three-way. I'll go Destin as well, because as much as I love Hawaii, as much as I loved Hawaii, destin's got nothing to lose.

Speaker 1:

What was the best thing about Hawaii when you went there? The?

Speaker 3:

coffee, being a coffee, being a foodie and drink guy yeah. The food was incredible, except for the poi. Never and drink out. Yeah, the food was incredible, except for the poi.

Speaker 2:

Never eat poi. No, it's awful, poi's terrible.

Speaker 3:

I don't know what that is.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you don't. It's awful, it's a root.

Speaker 3:

It's a pasty root.

Speaker 1:

Zero percent chance it's purple pasty root. That is something my food would eat, not what I would eat the luau, though please pass the boy.

Speaker 3:

No, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Uh, I'm going to anyhow, the coffee and the pineapple and all that. Just it's everywhere. All right, we've got orlando versus gatlinburg. Oh, it's a good one. This is a toughy. It's a good one, uh, not tough for me, but go ahead go orlando all day, all night, disney, yes, you better go second oh boy oh boy, um, I boy, I'd go Orlando Three-way.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think Orlando is the call. I like Gatlinburg. I like Gatlinburg for two or three days. Gatlinburg is a great weekend trip.

Speaker 3:

Gatlinburg is awesome for people watching.

Speaker 1:

No question. But you know what? Disney and Universal is pretty good for people watching. Gatlinburg's got some special places to watch people at.

Speaker 2:

The cool thing I like about Gatlinburg slash Pigeon Forge is renting a cabin up in the mountains. That's fun.

Speaker 1:

All year round too, I would much rather go in the winter than I would in the summer.

Speaker 3:

I would too because I've got to tell you just on that walk downtown. Gatlinburg in the middle of the summer, when it's 95 degrees outside, it's awful.

Speaker 2:

All right, next bracket. This was an upset, as we recall Nashville versus Tampa St Pete.

Speaker 3:

Nashville, just for the music and the libation. Tampa St.

Speaker 2:

Pete, all day, all night Tiebreaker.

Speaker 1:

I've never been to Tampa, st Pete. I have been to Nashville, but to me Nashville is not a week long trip. Well, we didn't say it's a week yeah, but it's spring break trip that tells you a lot about the place that you're going.

Speaker 2:

If you're like, yeah, a couple days, I'm good. I go back to Tampa every year for a week, you guys would have to hang with me in Nashville.

Speaker 3:

We could do it for a week. No, I'm not doing that for a week.

Speaker 2:

No, about one night. I'm going to go with Tampa St Pete.

Speaker 3:

This is nonsense. It's ridiculous, it's stupid.

Speaker 1:

We've got to keep our producer happy.

Speaker 2:

That's right, Mr Mellon.

Speaker 1:

We got to keep our producer happy, that's right, mr Mellon Did Thornton come up with this.

Speaker 2:

No, no but that's where he lives.

Speaker 3:

You're dogging at where he lives, that's right. I'm sorry, mr Mellon. I apologize.

Speaker 1:

I would go to that place if they give me $10,000.

Speaker 3:

Which is a pittance to me.

Speaker 1:
