0:00.0	And the first night, I prepped our server at animators that I needed hot black travel
0:05.8	presets because my life is at stake.
0:08.4	Welcome back, everybody to this week's episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my Path Unwinding Travel.
0:29.7	And I'm going to bypass my co-host all together in terms of intros this week because we've got one of our favorite returning guests for any new listeners or old listeners
0:39.6	alike. This name should be familiar. He is coming to us all the way from like, what is it,
0:44.7	at 45 minutes north of us here in Seattle, Bellingham, Washington. New cruising officiato
0:50.4	extraordinaire, our reporter on the ground. Josh, welcome back, Josh.
0:54.6	Well, I thank you, Brian. And thank you for skipping over your co-host. This has just been a
0:57.9	great show already. This is awesome. This is so messed up. I'm going to just say this. This is like
1:04.3	on par with my, our friends, Chris and Sam, Sam referring to me as Sam number two on my own freaking show. I mean, this is the kind of respect I get. I mean, come on. I might just have to walk out. When you're a part-time co-host on bonus shows, you just got to live with the outcome. So, you know, that's how it goes. But Josh, we're excited to have you back. You have sailed, you sailed on Disney once and went right across

1:49.6	Yeah.
1:50.0	So I got into cruising really through COVID and planning vacations.
1:54.9	And I don't know how, but I thought about the idea of with two kids, I have a almost six-year-old and almost three-year-old. I was like,
2:01.4	you know what? Going on a cruise ship sounds really nice not to have to make any decisions. I went on back-to-back cruises, Royal Caribbean the Disney, as Brian said. And I realized, I said, I thought this was going to be great. Turns out this is great. And the more cruises I go on, the more I just look at my wife and I go,
2:16.8	I'm a cruiser.
