if i wanted to do that i could just go down to the homeless shelter and yell at stephenson goal. figure. that one comes in the real karate slap action. topic number two. the whole food super feud market allowing customers to pay for their groceries with their palms. they were charging and arm and a leg. the system includes palm scanning technology. i have to admit, it does look pretty handy. to enroll you need to register your palm with amazon by uploading a scan of your hand. after that they conduct a few short fbi raids, a sweeping review of social media on your voting record. and within no time you will be authorized to begin be balls with palm. at makes it easier. instead of writing a check you can lend a helping hand. you can leave your kids a literal hand-me-down. topic number three. mug shot monday. that was stupid. tonight we meet a criminal duo of shellfish pigs. allegedly having a petition of illegal drugs, guns and an undersized lobster. the lobster has pleaded not guilty for reason of entrapment. the search of the resident uncovered 5 pounds of marijuana. pills withou

we have brian stevens as -- brian stephenson's project in alabama. so we have projects like plantations or civil war sites. they are growing into a new story and finding the audience is already there. so i want to be careful around thinking that it is just sort of a matter of time. i do think some audiences are coming to a space where they are ready and do want to hear that. i think the other part is these are simply not audiences that people wanted to talk to. and i'm not just talking about our classic population. if i think about my background and family, we are african-american. we are not trying to go to the big house and hear about how great the big house was. that is not quite the tour we were looking for, and that audience i think has always been there. so the way i think about this time is using it to help us balance the actual reality that, if tourism is one of your main industries, there was a fear, well, if we change the story, will people still come? now that we know people will still calm when you change the story, that kind of take that
