Live from Universal Mardi Gras Day 1 w/ Kids

Recorded right in the park on opening weekend of Mardi Gras 2026. My son Litem Jr (11) and daughter Little Litem (16) join me for this quick 13-minute chat straight from Universal Studios Florida.

We talk about how great the place looks right now, the music, how killer the king cake and fresh beignets were (honest thoughts on taste, size, price), plus some quick updates on a few rides we checked out during the crowds. No fluff, just family real talk from inside the event.

If you're heading to Mardi Gras soon or just want to know what the first weekend energy is like, this one's for you.
