Richard wants to make sure viewers and listeners understand the history of the Detroit Pistons. But, we're much happier to hear about the award he won at his Daddy-Daughter dance.
 
Ed is asking for the audience's help to decide where he should take his daughter on a summer trip. He also defines the term "Masqueraded" as it relates to the travel world, thanks to Slack member Dan. Richard and Ed are digging into the latest Hyatt Award category changes.
 
They also discuss the relaunch of Aeroplan's points pooling program.
 
And, Ed covers his first visit to the newly opened Capital One lounge at Las Vegas airport. Lastly, the guys are talking about the New England Patriots. They may have lost Super Bowls 42 and 46 to the Giants, but they do have their own plane. Sadly, it turns out their players hate the plane.
