0:02.1	100%.
0:03.3	There you have it.
0:04.2	Welcome back, everybody.
0:17.0	This week's bonus episode of the DCL Duo podcast brought to you by my path unwinding travel.
0:22.2	And Sam, it ain't Disney today. No, sir, it is not. Because this duo, this duo plus actually,
0:27.8	because Nathan accompanied us, went to Universal Orlando Gasp for a VIP tour day. Sam had not been
0:35.3	on Hagrid's motorbike express or Veloccoaster, and I really wanted to

1:29.1	park hopping tickets. They do offer a one-park VIP tour, but I'll tell you, Universal
1:35.3	Orlando, the parks are connected and very close to one another. Lots of great coasters in both
1:40.3	parks, and so I always get a park- park hopping ticket for Universal Orlando. The VIP tour
