*On the Sunday, June 21st, 2015 edition of The Travel Guys…*

This week on The Travel Guys, the lead topic is the ride-sharing services, including Uber, Lyft and Sidecar. [Uber has been in the news this week](http://www.cnbc.com/id/102766716), and we bring a ride-share driver into the studio and talk with him about the pros and cons of driving for pay in your free time.

Road Reporter Clayton Whitehead is on hand to talk about [Downton Abbey](http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/downtonabbey/), the smash PBS series, and about [taking a trip to visit some of the sites](http://www.sportsleisure.com/vacations/1193-castles-cathedrals-and-a-very-special-abbey-) where the show is filmed. In the Travel News, US Airlines are against the new idea of standardizing carry on bags.

We round out the Father's Day edition of the show by inviting our listeners to call in and share their favorite story of travel with their father. The best calls will be awarded dining gift cards.
