00:00We went to a New Year's Eve party, and then we were supposed to go back to the Airbnb

00:11to change and go back to Bourbon, but something told them to say, no, this is it for the night,

00:18let's stay in.

00:19So we could have been down there.

00:22It almost feels dark.

00:26The energy is definitely dry this year.

00:28I use dry very loosely, but compared to the last few years that we've been, we've been

00:33coming since 2018, yesterday was sad.

00:39It was dark.

00:41The people were out.

00:42There were tons of people, but it was quiet.

01:08I think that security could have been a little bit better, especially with the magnitude

01:14of the game and then also being a New Year's Eve destination.

01:18And I believe security was probably not at its best.

01:23I think if it would have been probably how it is now on the high security alert, I think

01:29it would have been prevented and it could have saved everyone's life.

01:38Yeah, I mean, I see a lot of law enforcement.

01:53Unfortunately, it was a tragedy, probably, that they had to amp up security.

01:58But from that perspective, I feel it's very safe right now.

02:03Last night we were walking around and there was a lot of extra security coming in.

02:08We could tell that Louisiana State Patrol was coming in and again, unfortunate, but

02:14yet it made us feel better.
