*On the Sunday, June 17th, 2012 edition of The Travel Guys…*

Sunday, on The Travel and Entertainment Guys, our favorite consumer reporter seems to have lost his mind, and we are going to ask him about it. Ed Perkins, who writes for [SmarterTravel.com](http://www.smartertravel.com/), was suggested all airlines start charging for carry-on bags. Is he crazy? Why would a consumer oriented guy suggest such an outlandish idea? Listen in to find out.

You know how Mark loves his lists, and he's got another. This one, [Things Not to Pack in Your Checked Luggage](http://www.smartertravel.com/blogs/today-in-travel/10-things-you-should-never-pack-in-your-checked-bag.html?id=10387331&source=91&value=2012-06-13+00%3A00%3A00&u=AF15711F03&nl_cs=11619869%3A%3A7597638%3A%3A10387331%3A%3A), might prove to be full of helpful reminders before you head out on that summer vacation. Plus, Richard Lewis, the Executive Producer of [The Music Circus](http://www.calmt.com/index.cfm?page=1138200)is on hand to update us on changes under the Big Top downtown this summer, and comment on the recent Tony awards and all things theater.
