You would get the Rentlaw family. At first glance they appear to be a typical American family. However, unlike most typical American families, their â??normalâ?? stops at the threshold of their front door. This home is filled with mystery, murder, and acts of cannibalism. Jennifer Jo

#TFTHS Ep 0200 Living the Dream with Eric Ruiz
20/12/2015On May 10, 2013, Episode zero of Gem City Podcast was released. Eric Ruiz created something that has given two mayors of Dayton uncensored access to the public, countless artists, festivals, businesses, and various other people a voice in Dayton. Eric Ruiz created something beautiful and in the Fall of 2015 he walked away to pursue travel and find himself. This podcast is his story of those two plus years running the Gem City Podcast. He will be missed, but the podcast continues on. Episode 200 is a big deal amongst podcrafters. Itâ??s tough to maintain doing a podcast with your own time without any compensation. The amount of hours and money many podcasters spend will never be made back. This is uncensored media. At times NSFW, but an honest conversation. We need this type of media in our fast food, microwave world. Thanks to Eric for getting the ball rolling. This thing is not stopping anytime soon and 2016 is going to rock. Big thanks to our new sponsor, Yellow Cab Tavern. Social Media Links a

#TFTHS Ep 0193 Greenfight - Issue 3 - To End Prohibition?
01/11/2015On Tuesday November 2, 2015 Ohio voters have the chance to end the prohibition of cannabis (Marijuana) and legalize for the ability for anyone 21 and up to grow up to four flowering plants, purchase cannabis, consume cannabis, start small businesses for the manufacture of and sale of products for the use of cannabis. 1159 shops will be allowed to open, a $24M International Cannabinoid Research Facility is seeking a home in Ohio to advance the science and research because of Ohio voting to amend their constitution. This ballot amendment is referred to as Issue 3. Sponsored by ResponsibleOhio it was put into motion be a group of 50 investors to open 10 competing grow facilities for the first four years of the change in law. These ten facilities would compete to supply enough cannabis for all 1159 shops. These facilities will sublease to small growers in Ohio, allowing for boutique grows. Ohio voters and longtime grassroots supporters of cannabis are opposed to this oligopoly and see it as a free market is
