Speaker 2Handing out food and drinks from an ice cream truck is off-limits for marijuana businesses in Ohio , according to state regulators . What the hell Dry mouth , I've got the munchies . Listen , you can't bait deer either , but and so is their online promotion saying can you take me higher ?
Speaker 3Oh , there you go . Now , sir , you can buy seven pounds of weed . But you better not give them a popsicle .
Speaker 2What the Most of the fines involve promotions this summer ahead of the August 6th beginning . So if you bought some weed I'd give you a Popsicle .

Speaker 2Is that what they're saying ? I guess Some of the violations involved using signs that were too large or not approved by the state . Oh , they fined some poor bastard $150,000 . Wow , okay , so the violations were related to giving out food and beverages from an ice cream truck , advertising free ice cream on social media and using a sign that was not attached to the dispensary well , shame on them .

Speaker 2I mean , we get down on the different things here . It says , you know , granted , america , they say , has cultural diversity . Great , okay , we got different sounds . Understandable , it doesn't all hand in shit .
Speaker 3Yeah , you don't have to make bluegrass into a rap song .
Speaker 2Well , wait a minute , you might be onto something .
Speaker 3See , I tried that already .
Speaker 2You know commercialization is the big problem with American music . Yeah , Got to focus on mass production and global distribution .
Speaker 3Yeah , and that's why a lot of these new artists that you don't hear from are going independent .
Speaker 2Exactly , it's the best way got to do basically , right , we're doing a podcast trying to get out there . These guys are doing the same getting their stuff out on the internet . It's the best way to do it . They're in control of their own stuff that way every day .
Speaker 3Joes that want to do something yeah , we don't have anybody here can't say that no can't do this , do that you know ? I mean , I think you can tell that there's nobody controlling me at all .
Speaker 2No , we have no anybody in charge of the idiots over here we're not censored . Actually we kind of locked the door to the studio . We don't even want my wife trying to stop what's going on . I don't mean , that's going on . No , no , no , no , no , no , no no .
Speaker 3We're not really a couple . We're very in tune with each other , but we're not a couple , not like that no , no , no . Yeah , hear us out .
Speaker 2We're not . But yeah , again music . I don't understand . I find a lot more bands on YouTube and what it is is hey , we recommend this . I have to give YouTube credit on that . Sometimes it's stupid , yep . But when I get the record I'll say well , what's this ? I'll give it a listen Again . That's how I get into Nightwish . The Warning .
Speaker 3Yep . I'm sure that's how , oh no , no , you actually met the guy , some guy that wanted to see this band , so never mind on that .
Speaker 2And uh , yeah , it was crazy but youtube has definitely brought me down many rabbit holes , yeah , which I appreciate . I love watching reaction videos . Some I could tell a fake doing it for clicks , yeah they're doing it .
Speaker 3For what clicks ? Oh , oh fine , I didn't , yeah , okay , let's move on we will move on and keep moving on just checking . Hey see , men like will and sunny make it move . They do what music ? That's another thing . Remember the move , the show back in the 70s yes uh , white line , for what was the name of ? White line fever was that the name of the show that came on every week ?
Speaker 2no , moving on white lines on my mirror no , no , I remember that show .
Speaker 3That wasn't a show . I did a live presentation of that once but anyway uh , yeah , moving on . Remember the old trucking show moving on with Will and Sonny and they had a song .
Speaker 2Oh , we talked about this before . Yeah , we talked about it one time .
Speaker 3Yes , yes , At work , not on here , but it was funny . It was funny how that .
Speaker 2Will and Sonny were funny .
Speaker 3Well , no , it's funny how music back then I mean sticks with you Now today . I don't even know anything from today , but I am pretty brushed up .
