0:00.0	For me, it's always that horn.
0:01.8	Because every other cruise ship, just, I'm not going to make the noise, but we all know it's not so magical.
0:07.1	Yeah, I always love to hear that Disney ship has gotten to a horn battle with another ship.
0:10.5	It's not a battle.
0:11.3	It's not.
0:11.5	They brought a gun to a knife fight.
0:12.9	So, yeah.
0:14.5	Yeah. Welcome back, everybody, this week's bonus episode of the DCL duo podcast.

1:28.7	So a lot of mine were working vacations running around the ship, taking care of other people.
1:33.5	But I have been on all four of the ships. The great thing for me was this was like a throwback

1:47.4	I just kind of, I had some great memories this week.
1:50.8	Well, how many curses have you taken overall in it?
