cleaned up because we watched the same process the night before, but it wasn't. it was a lot of trash out there. a lot of workers out there trying to clean up. i'm guessing it was quite a mess left behind. shouldn't be a surprise. >> have you been to mardi gras before? is this your first time? >> my first mardi gras, i've been here before. i covered a sugar bowl a dozen years ago which was around new year's, so new year's, you know, the same deal which was jam-packed. i thought new year's was more crowded and more nutty from what i remember. but no, my first mardi gras but not first in new orleans. >> they said they had big crowds at this year's but overall pretty smoothly. is that accurate? >> yeah. they are not going to know for sure until today, tomorrow, after the fact. but they were expecting record crowds, talking with yesterday because the weather, and even

though we had thunderstorms coming in, this was overnight. the weather was good, the weather cooperated and also coinciding with spring break. i talked to new orleans police last night, and they said everything was smooth. that doesn't mean they don't have a rest. but there was nothing unusual. these guys have been there, done that when it comes to these events. >> they know what they are doing. and you know it's the beginning of lent so we might have to, you know, have the bishop meet you at the airport. >> i think i might owe more than 40 days to make up for my past two days. >> thank you, bob. appreciate it. we got to go. and have a safe flight. >> i got to get my flight. i'll see you. >> let's check in with christina. >> sounds like he gave up his voice for lent. we're looking pretty good this morning. thank you guys for not asking him what he's wearing right now. temperaturewise comfortable. if you want to wear a sweater and leave that heavy jacket at home why not do so.
