Anita gives a brief take on how manifesting has helped her achieve her goals of moving to the city she loves, working for her favorite football team, graduating college, and working in the film industry. She had a five year plan, but did it in three. #weloveneworleans #geauxsaints #manifesting #motivationmonday

While trying to record another travel episode, Mars and Neeter jokingly create a new stay-at-home drinking game based off their verbal fillers.

Are the folks in your COVID pod visiting? Got a virtual date because you don't want to catch the COVie? Just pop on an earlier episode and crack open a cold one, but don't forget to assign people to teams and follow the rules.

Drink responsibly! Alcohol poisoning is not cool, and neither is drinking and driving.

In this episode: Neeter screaming...

Also in this episode: The Büdgét Ladies compare the different haunts of Scout Island Scream Park, pricing of Scream Park's tickets and deals, The Mortuary Haunted House, free things to do for Halloween in the Big Easy, and of course, personal stories from the field. They survived in 2019 and hope to do so again in 2021... Or maybe 2022...

Are there COVID restrictions this carnival season? Um, heck yes! Wear dat mask! Wash dem hands! But is it holding New Orleans back from having fun during the Carnival season? Absolutely not! This year, the Crescent City gets creative and finds new ways to keep everyone safe, whether it's decorating their house as a Mardi Gras float, or holding digital parades. This is just a tiny snippet of Mars and Neeter's day taking a peek at the Krewe of House Floats map, but it's a reminder to all of us that although we're in the middle of a tough pandemic, nothing will keep our spirits down.
