Podcasts about Rinse

Though Ron Gilbert had moved on, LucasArts' Grossman, Schaefer and co were in full point and click flow by 1993. In this podcast we return to the Maniac Mansion for beloved follow-up, Day of the Tentacle. Leon, Brian, Jesse, Ryan and Patreon posters get lost in lavatorial time-loops, untangling the puzzles that worked for them and those that didn't, as well as appraising the Looney Tunes-inspired art, humour and audio.

You gotta find your way out. But…This one's got a horror theme.The sign outside… “23 Mirrored Rooms That Will Change Your Life… Forever!”Never saw that before.So you stand in the long wait line. That, naturally, doubles back on itself. Many times.Finally, you belly up to the barker's ticket window. Start to scan the price board.“125 bucks?” You cry out.“You wanna change yer life, kid? Whatchya think it would cost?”So you sigh. You think…You need… different. You fork over.First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at the chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… well, something… different in your miserable life.Suddenly, he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you, he grabs a blowtorch.You see this scene reflected in all the mirrors. In detail. Enhanced by all your grisly memories.You protest. “What the actual fuck.”“Trust me. This is the latest research. Sure as hell gonna change your life.” That smile. Thin. Cold. Professional. “We got paying customers outside. Lined up. Waiting to get inside. You in… or out.”You reflect on your miserable life. You nod.Then he slowly, methodically works you over. A light burn here. Another there. Starting at your feet. Working upwards.You scream. You cry. You plead. You evade. You bargain. Not a word out of Jumpsuit Guy.And… the only way you can block out the terror reflected in those mirrors?Close your eyes…He finishes. He unshackles you. Helps you up as you tremble. Guides you efficiently to the door.“Next room. Room of Knives. Yer gonna love it,” he laughs.“Just 22 to go.” Leans in… conspiratorially. Whispers in my ear…“Wait til the Meds room. Everybody talks about the Meds Room.”Beat.“If you make it there.”musicInterludeOkay, then. A fun little… metaphor. Now… some dark reality. Family… and professionals… tossed off what I was going through in my late teens as “immaturity.” Something I'd age out of. Totally ignoring all the red danger flags of the coming disaster.Quick side note. Some folks wrote you couldn't read articles. Multiple platform problems… demands you subscribe… pestering friends, even if they used a“free” link.I heard ya . So, I built my free personal archive at autisticaf.me. No paywall. No ads to piss ya off. All free & shareable… on me.You'll find more pieces like this next one… there. — The Autistic Treatment Funhouse, Room of ExamsThey Called It Immaturity. They Missed Everything.Content note: This is the tough one I mentioned. With the brutal flowers.Look, first of all… This is not the beginning of a poor-me story.This is a story of how I found moments of joy… and darkness… in my autistic life. Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”But I found dark humor... every where.1972 was a hell of a summer… Room 1I first sought a diagnosis at 19. Following suicide attempt #1.I was driving after dark. Which I wasn't supposed to do… new family rule.See, I'd damaged our car the week before, making a hasty turn into our driveway near Jumping Deer Road in Katonah. Hit the damn stone wall on the way in.This was Westchester County, NY. Local code only allowed a nano break between the 18th-Century stones guarding our yard. Colonial heritage or something… masking slave labor.I'm in the doghouse. With parents already skeptical about letting me go to college. Not “mature” enough.Yet, when the hood and fender are finally fixed? They drop me off on a muggy, hazy June night. Out in the boonies at the old Amawak Service Center on Route 202.“Pick it up and bring it home. No side stops.” Then they instruct me, “Be… careful.” Rolling their collective 4 eyes.I pull out, then wait. The light's gotta change at the 4-lane intersection with Route 35 before I can head home.The light turns green. I go into a weird space in my head. There's… there's some reason I shouldn't turn left… yet… But I watch myself shrug, flick my signal switch, and turn. Right into two lanes of accelerating traffic coming right at me.Don't remember much more. Just the red, don't-turn-yet-idiot arrow. Staring at me brightly… through the windshield that used to be there.I survived. That classic, white 1965 Mustang… didn't. Barely street legal, 271-horse V8 under the hood. Maybe the most collectible American car of all time.A hand-me-down gift to our family from my father's father. Who bragged, “I had to jew the dealer down from 5 grand,” back when he bought it new in '65. A lot of money then.Um, things got tense at home.“You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.”Parental meeting time.“Uh, I don't know what happened.” I couldn't stand these “meetings.” So many in my childhood. This was maybe the worst of all.“I don't know. It… it... just happened.”Making my parents even more furious. These were avid Ayn Rand readers. And my grandfather? He slept beside an orderly nightstand. Mein Kampf tucked tightly in its tidy drawer. My dead father's voice echoes coldly in my mind still. “You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.” But, I stumble on. Making things worse… in my way.“Something's wrong. I don't know what. I'm having horrible visions. Hitting people with the car as I drive by. Hitting their bodies… bones…” I trail off. Into stony silence, I say, “And now something weird happened. I think… I think… maybe I should see a doctor…”Next thing I know, I'm sitting in front of a Westchester County caseworker. Cuz my parents felt a psychologist or private therapist cost too much.I had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.The intake experience was horrific.I felt… badgered.She called it… delicately. “Maybe the accident looked like an attempt to… maybe… harm yourself?” But she continued with a sledgehammer.“I know you have a secret you want to tell me.” Rinse, repeat… Rinse, repeat…I wanted so badly to please her. But had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.Worse yet? There were things I didn't want to tell her. Darker than the physical or sexual abuse she was probably check-listing. Things a traumatized kid might do… himself.I never went back. I told my parents I was uncomfortable talking to her.My dad rocked back in his dark, maple, Early American dining room chair. “Fine. That's your choice.”He paused. Looking directly at my mother as he said to me, “I can see you won't speak to this counselor. I see no reason to look for another for you to talk to. Your decision.”And that was that.We were all dying for freedom.Finally at 63, a psychologist specializing in autism gave me another name, Alexithymia.He said a lot of autistics can know something is wrong. But not know what. And baptized me, Autism Spectrum Disorder… with a side of ADHD.2016 was a good year. A damn fine year.But 1972 was a summer from hell.The last US troops shipped home, fleeing Viet Nam. Palestinians massacred Israelis at the Olympics. My father died that August. The week after he molested me for the last time.We were all dying for freedom.[music]Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.InterludeOkay. Here's the last frag I toss… today. Let's end with joyful moments. Among the dark. Let's end with survival.See, I'm giving you these fragments of my life…Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.And this is part of me, too…[music]I Don't Think I Had a “Personality” as a KidI was busy finding Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg…This one brings home the stakes.The moments of joy along the way… that drew a line under what could have been. Not if they fixed me. But maybe what all of our children could be.If we just listen to them. And support what they say they need.“What are you doing…?”My mother's voice was sharp.I'm lying spreadeagled on the backyard grass, face down.“I've called you three times.” Annoyed. “WHAT are you doing…?”I don't know it in Second Grade… But I have difficulties shifting attention when I'm lost in thought…I try to focus my ears…Then think back,review my short-term memory,and replay the last few moments.Trying to hear and translate anything she might have said while I'm in my private thought bubble…Already at 7, this process of “rehearsing” or “rewinding the tape” to interpret what's going on? It's an automatic, constant routine when I'm around… well, people.Checking for verbal mistakes, missed cues… Just trying to understand, what's going on…?So I'm still trying to sort it out,choose words carefully to explain,clearing my throat,moving my sleeping tongue,loosening my jaw,getting ready to speak…“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”“Umm… Nothing…?” Close as I come to a lie at that age.I've been lying in the grass for an hour or so, exploring with my new magnifying glass.See, there was this great hobby shop in Johnson City. It had all kinds of cool science “toys.” And I had saved my 50-cent allowance for weeks to buy a “Real, hand-held, magnifying glass  —  made with ALL-METAL handle!!”I was entranced.Examining grass leaves, dew drops, and…Ants.Dozens of ants. One after another.Legs.Antennae.Mandibles.Eyes.Guiltily burning off the occasional leg with focused sunlight…Endless fascination…I was in the flow…“Okay. Whatever you are doing…” I wait for the command I know will end my timeless bliss… “Stop doing it. It's time for lunch.”I sigh. Roll over.And. Trudge. In.Hardly sounds like abuse, right…..??Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed… when you don't have to get up…My autistic joys are hard to explain to another person.Pretty much ANY non-autistic person.And trying to… drags me into Deep Philosophical Waters…Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed on a lazy Saturday morning when you don't have to get up…And someone screams, “GET UP!”Eyes pop open. Instantly. You're so startled, for a minute… you have no idea where you are, what you're doing, the time of day, the season…Now… imagine that… if you can…Every. Damn. Day. Many, many, MANY times a day… Every single day of your childhood.Torture.Being startled out of the flow? It's like that.Capisce? Ya dig? Feel me?That's as close as I can think of to explain my moments of autistic flow.Or, better yet, my autistic joys.That same joy you seeon an autistic kid's faceas he dances endlesslyin a sprinkler in the sun…If I had to guess, this is precisely what Being in the Moment, in the Now, maybe even Zen Satori…Mean.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer…Now, that's all preamble to what I really wanna talk about…Here's the deal on Flow…I think that's where I spent most of my time as a young kid.When I wasn't interacting with family, a few schoolmates, parents, one teacher a year… the few humans I let into my life back then.And that time alone… Endlessly exploring, learning, feeling, being… was…Wordless delight.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer… further and further and further apart… nearly gone…First, I was forced into a school system… That I was clearly not wired for.Rigid.Lockstep.Regimented.Regulated.BORING.No Free Time.To simply… explore.Later, of course, it got MUCH worse. Jobs, relationships, finances… Life in Modern Adult America.Like when I founded Unix World magazine. I was so high on the concept and the joy of process… My inner vision won us awards our first year. Western Publishing Association Best New Publication and Best Issue. Beating out Macworld and PC World.Yeah. We won awards. A couple months after I was fired from my own mag. Fired because… in my autistic mind… the game was Create the Most Amazing Publication… Ever.But the whole time, the world was shouting that it was Make the Most Money You Can… Right Now.Snake eyes. I lost.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of… fascination.Now, I have some personal speculation to get off my chest.First… I don't think I had a native personality when I was a kid…At least not as bell-curve average humans understand a personality.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of fascination. No motivations. No intentions. No (verbal) thought…So… I was either happy exploring in the fields… or with my chemistry set in the basement… or catching polliwogs in Spring pools…Or I was forced to don my “personality.”In other words,the language,facial expressions,body language,polite responses,social lies,and predictable actionsthat humans think of as “personality”…and that social contact demands.Which is so natural for most humans, they aren't even aware of it.Even though they must have it from me… to feel safe.But, for me, “personality” was likebeing dragged out of my comfy pajamas,forced intothe worst, most cumbersome, restrictive, awkward, embarrassing winter coat,ear muffs,muffler,heavy snow boots,and mittensyour mother ever stuffed you intoto shove you onto that bus to kindergarten…And “personality” still is suffocating. Today. In my 70s. Ten years after diagnosed as autistic and ADHD.Especially, “fun times”… They're the real killers.Parties.Intimate conversations…Shudder... Family holidays? So nightmarish, I wrote the 7-page narrative poem sneaking my mother's creepy g-d on high.These are all times I must adopt my “personality.” You know, to survive. No matter how much “fun” they're supposed to be.What pros call “masking”? Really nothing more than exhausting habits of behavior & speech. That I must shroud myself in. Like an embalmed mummy. Just so it's easy for other humans… to feel “comfortable” around me.Not an essential Self. Just, ya know, “personality.”Certainly not me. Nothing comfortable about it.I'm going to hazard a guess.Which may be narcissistic delusion… Flow seems awfully close to what the Buddha described as experiencing “no-self” vs. the “conditioned mind.”From at least age 2 on, I clearly remember lucid dreaming and long periods of time spent without verbal thought of any kind. Just perceiving, in awe and wonder…EVERYTHING.Until I had to interact with humans. Any humans. Even those I was required… to “love.”And donning the “personality”? The joy collapsed. Fast as a quantum waveform when you try to measure it. Not into pain…Collapsing into an all-absorbing effort.Intellectualizing every word,gesture,tone of voice of my own…Then interpreting all those of each and every human I was with at the time…and THEN determining precisely the right word,tone of voice,facial expression,and body attitude to project back…all at the same timeTo avoid being in trouble.Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second…And even at a young age, a growing sense of the need to protect others…From me.Because I was different. Because I hurt people without understanding. Because I acted as if I were “arrogant”… etc., etc.Like two divorces. Cuz I could be amazing for 3 to 6 months. Caring. Fun as hell. Then fall into deep depressions and work burnouts. Cuz I couldn't handle that much intimacy. Hell, that much time alone with another human…Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second… That I am with another human.Except very young children. And of course, animals… Since I was… 4 years old.Now since diagnosis, I found a few tricks.In 2019 when I first started writing about my autism, I was all about lists. Trying to “help” others. Took me a year or two to realize we are… every one of us autists… different. Different lives. Different needs and goals. Different survival skills.So I'm only an “expert” on my own life. Even if I am the only expert on that there is.Your mileage certainly will vary.But for me? My autistic life is not about “getting better.” Or fixing me. It's about knowing who I truly am. And what I truly need. Doing what I can to meet those needs.Then being… me.So I moved to the Country…Living in the trailer across the courtyardFrom my third, loving wifeWhere I can reduce sensory overload.Reduce the number of humans I talk with To only folks I feel comfortable around.And stopped failing at jobs I was never built to do.But I… now… can pursue those things that have brought me joy since childhood.Spending unstructured, unmeasured time on any of my passions…walking in the wildest Nature I have access to,baking bread,fermenting pickles,gardening,deep-focus while replaying a favorite movie… that seventh time,illustrating,writing,playing music,researching world events….so, so many others.When I pursue a “special interest”… alone? Sometimes it's nearly orgasmic… In fact, I've redefined my understanding of my passions.They're not a forbidden pleasure. A shameful quirk. Something I “waste time on” when there's nothing more important to do.They are my gateway to Bliss, Satori, Oneness… Maybe even whatever God is… or Isn't…I'm not talking toxic positivity. My autistic joys aren't some advanced spiritual state I've achieved in my 70s. And now, suddenly… I'm here to tell you how to make everything okay. And talk you into buying your 5th NEW self-help system on the way out the door.But my joys are moments of love and happiness sprinkled through most of my days. Between meltdowns and burnouts. And some average life.They are my reason for Being.There are just NOT 7 Easy Things that Successful Autistics Do…That Will Change My Life Forever.There's just living complex… and in the end… wild autistic life.being old & autistic ain't so bad.losing inhibitions.some of which protected me from…Life.freedom turns out to be pain…and joy…in superposition.until maybe they annihilate you.Notes from the bardobefore the bardoI learned a lot that Spring afternoon on the lawn in Johnson City.I saw Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg.And, eventually… I went for it.[music]OutroNow you know.

WAYFAIR GOES PHYSICAL - Wayfair opened its second large-format store in Atlanta on March 31, following the 2024 debut of its 150,000-square-foot Wilmette, Illinois flagship. - The company is building a national store network, with Denver expected later in 2026 and Yonkers, Cincinnati and Princeton locations planned for 2027. - The stores combine furniture, decor, appliances and home-improvement products, giving customers a chance to test large purchases before ordering. - The strategy is a major reversal for an online-first retailer and is designed to increase brand awareness, reduce dependence on digital advertising and capture shoppers returning to physical stores. AI SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND - PUBLIC OWNERSHIP DEBATE - Bernie Sanders introduced legislation requiring the largest AI companies to transfer 50% of their equity into a U.S. sovereign wealth fund. - The fund is projected by supporters to hold roughly $7 trillion and could finance annual public dividends and government services. - OpenAI has separately floated a much smaller proposal in which major AI companies would voluntarily contribute about 5% of their equity. - Supporters call it a way to share AI-created wealth; critics warn government ownership could discourage investment, distort regulation and reduce innovation. PSA  - That's what we do....CYCLOSPORIASIS OUTBREAK - CASES SURGE - Cyclosporiasis cases are rising across more than 30 states, with Michigan, Ohio and New York reporting particularly large increases. - The CDC reported at least 843 confirmed cases and 86 hospitalizations by July 9, but state totals and reporting delays suggest the real count is substantially higher. - Lettuce, salad greens and other fresh produce are being investigated, although officials have not identified a specific product, supplier or national recall. - The parasite causes prolonged or recurring watery diarrhea; washing produce may reduce risk, and persistent symptoms should prompt medical testing and treatment. HOW TO REDUCE CYCLOSPORIASIS RISK (FWIW) - Wash hands with soap before preparing food and after using the bathroom. - Rinse fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs thoroughly under running water; scrubbing helps but cannot guarantee removal. - Keep raw produce separate from unwashed items, dirty utensils and preparation surfaces. - When traveling in tropical or subtropical areas, use safe water and avoid raw produce you cannot peel yourself; routine chemical sanitizers may not kill Cyclospora.

When Developing Alien: Fireteam Elite, Coldiron Studios were tasked with rehabilitating Aliens after the poorly received Aliens: Colonial Marines in 2013. Could a studio known for MMOs replicate the success of 2014's Alien Isolation by creating a Destiny inspired horde shooter? Join host Rich and panel Brian, Jon and Leah as they work through the scattered reception of Alien and Aliens games, and decide whether Aliens: Fireteam Elite effectively captures the intensity of James Cameron's 1986 movie.

As Capcom gears up to soft reboot dormant franchise Onimusha, we look back a quarter of a century to its origins, 2001's Onimusha: Warlords. Leon, Chris Worthington, James and Michiel suck Genma souls like it's Luigi's haunted hotel in this tricky, Spenceresque Sengoku Mansion. We also talk about the game's interface, systems, challenge and - with contributions from the listeners - some of the changes made to both the Xbox version and the more recent remaster.

Last week the Supreme Court ruled seven to two in favor of Bayer-Monsanto, and it changes the rules for anyone who gardens, farms, or eats food grown in this country. Notice they did not go to the highest court in the land to prove Roundup is safe. They went to argue that even if it causes cancer, you are no longer allowed to sue them in your own state for failing to warn you. In this episode I walk you all the way through it. Not the headline, the whole thing. What the ruling actually says and why the legal logic is so slippery. The real story of who Bayer even is and why a drug company bought a pesticide company. The billions already paid out in cancer settlements, and the trap door that just closed. And then, because despair is just laziness in a nicer outfit, exactly what you and I do about it, starting today, with our hands and our habits and our dollars. You have more power here than you have been told. Let's use it. What We Cover Who John Durnell is, and the twenty-plus years of Roundup use behind this case What the ruling actually says, in plain English: FIFRA, the EPA, and the "Uniformity" clause that decided everything Why the legal reasoning is so slippery, and what the bipartisan dissent from Justices Jackson and Gorsuch warned about The honest version of the science fight: what the World Health Organization said versus what the EPA says Three branches of government, one year, moving in the same direction, and the one piece the people actually stopped Why a pharmaceutical company bought a pesticide company, and the structure underneath "create the problem, sell the cure" The settlement numbers, and the question they cannot answer: why pay billions for a product you swear is safe? What this precedent means for every other industry going forward What practical steps you can take right away The Receipts A few of the numbers and facts from this episode, so you have them: The case is Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, decided seven to two on June 25, 2026. Justice Kavanaugh wrote the majority. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch. The ruling reversed a Missouri jury's verdict that had awarded John Durnell one point two five million dollars on a failure-to-warn claim. In 2015, the World Health Organization's cancer research arm classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans. The EPA has concluded it is not likely to cause cancer when used as directed, and never required a warning label. In 2020, Bayer agreed to pay nearly eleven billion dollars to settle around a hundred thousand cancer claims. The company has spent well over ten billion total, and proposed another settlement of seven and a quarter billion in February 2026. In February, the President signed an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act to boost glyphosate production, though experts question whether it even reaches these lawsuits. A push to shield pesticide companies from these lawsuits in the Farm Bill was stripped out in late April by a bipartisan vote of two hundred eighty to one hundred forty two. The people stopped that one. What You Can Do Lower your toxic load where you can. Start with personal care products, the things you put on your skin every day. Skip drinking from, storing food in, and especially microwaving plastic when you have a glass or steel option. Know where your food comes from. Rinse and soak your produce before you eat it. This is the produce wash/soak product I use.  Grow some of your own, even a little. One tomato plant on a balcony is more food sovereignty than most Americans have. Start absurdly small. Just start. Support local farms, and then ask the question. Find a farm you trust, and kindly ask them about their spraying practices. Give your money on purpose to the people who opt out. Support your body's own systems. Sweat regularly, move consistently, and give your gut real breaks between meals. Move, sweat, rest, repeat. None of this is medical advice or a substitute for your doctor, it is everyday support for a body built to handle a tough world. Resources and Links The produce wash and soak method I use:  https://amzn.to/4xWl2DI Want to read the ruling yourself? Look up Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, decided June 25, 2026. Find a local farm or market near you and start the conversation about how your food is grown.  

Rinse and Repeat embarks on a brand new series - exploring the Beatitudes, the "blessed" statements of Matthew 5, at the beginning of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.In today's episode, we introduce the significance of the beatitudes, as each describes a characteristic of the believer and offers a promise from God for each believer. For example, today we see, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:5).Being poor in spirit, surprisingly, has nothing to do with financial wealth or human worthiness. It is so much more than that! Tune in today as we embark on this remarkable journey into the Beatitudes, found in Matthew 5!!(RAR2026EP28)

Most people either never buy a rental property or they become accidental landlords once ans stop there. They never trade up, never level up, and wonder why their portfolio never actually goes anywhere.   In this episode, Ryan and I break down the Monopoly Method -- the exact blueprint for building real, sustainable wealth by strategically trading up your equity from property to property. We're talking about starting with one "crappy" duplex and using it as the launchpad to get into bigger and better assets. $100K properties turn into $500K properties. $500K properties turn into $2M properties. Rinse and repeat.   This isn't theory. It's the same framework we've used ourselves and coached hundreds of investors through -- and it's the closest thing real estate has to a cheat code. If you've been sitting on equity and wondering what your next move should be, this episode is your blueprint.

Sin & Punishment skipped the GameCube generation, but came bouncing back after almost a decade on Wii. Leon, Chris O'Regan and Sean grapple with Isa and Kachi across eight intense stages of on-rails, danmaku-style shmup madness from the crazy geniuses at Treasure. With input from the listenership, we talk technical and artistic achievements, as well as taking aim at the game's demanding yet satisfying mechanics.

The Knicks just won the NBA Finals — and José Alvarado led the Puerto Rican Day Parade the next morning. But while New York was celebrating, something else was quietly happening in the Caribbean: a US carrier strike group just parked itself 90 miles from Havana. Henry and Danny — with help from AI guest Tio Raul — break down the full arc of America's 125-year obsession with Cuba. From the first concentration camps in history, to the mob-run casino island Batista built for American business, to Fidel's guerrilla campaign on a 10-person yacht with 81 men aboard, to the Cuban tank crews that went and fought Israel on a mountain in Syria — this island punches so far above its weight it's almost unbelievable. They also get into why Cuba deployed nearly half a million troops to Angola over 16 years, how that campaign helped end apartheid in South Africa (and what Nelson Mandela himself said about it), and how Aroldis Chapman — the hardest thrower in baseball history — had to buy his freedom from a cartel for $30 million just to pitch in the majors. And then there's Marco Rubio, whose family left Cuba under Batista — not Castro — now sitting as Secretary of State with a carrier fleet and a personal vendetta shaping US foreign policy in real time. Someone just dropped $57,000 on a prediction market betting it all goes hot before the end of 2026. Tio Raul is powered by Maneku — the AI built for real conversations.

https://youtu.be/b_G8krkwKv8 Ganesh Krishnan, CEO of AiHello, is helping Amazon sellers automate advertising, improve profitability, and scale their businesses using AI. Driven by a mission to give entrepreneurs more freedom and enable them to build businesses around products they love, Ganesh shares how AI can eliminate repetitive work while allowing business owners to focus on strategy, innovation, and growth. In this conversation, Ganesh introduces The AiHello Ads Framework: Tap into the Wisdom of Crowds, Find the Right Keywords, Bid at the Right Level, Dynamically Adjust Bids, and Rinse and Repeat. He explains how AI can leverage historical marketplace data to identify profitable keywords, optimize bids automatically, and continuously improve campaign performance. Ganesh also discusses the dangers of AI hallucinations, why Amazon's incentives differ from sellers' incentives, how AI has transformed his own company's operations, and his vision for building zero-hallucination AI systems capable of advancing toward artificial superintelligence. — Build AI Superintelligence with Ganesh Krishnan  Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here, and welcome Ganesh Krishnan, the CEO of AiHello, an Amazon Ads automation company helping you grow your revenues, reduce work hours spent on ads management, and decrease your ad costs. Welcome to the show, Ganesh.  Thank you, Steve. Nice to meet you  Well, it’s great to have you here, and let’s jump right in. And my first question is, what is your personal ‘Why,’ and how are you manifesting it in AiHello?  So it started off with my thesis that we all need to do good towards the planet. A long time ago, I started having my own natural things, selling chemical-free, ecological, sustainable, good-for-the-planet, good-for-your-wallet, good-for-your-health items, and I would sell organic items. And eventually, what I realized was that it was taking a lot of my time marketing, managing it, changing the bids, doing everything. I started working more and more on AI because I’ve worked in AI commercially. I worked in AI in my industry. That was my job. So I said, “Why not use, apply that to my own startup, to my own industry for selling organic things?” And once I started selling it, some of my friends reached out and said, “Can we use your AI for our own businesses?” And I said, “Sure, why not?”  And then I started opening it up. And then one person came through and said, “Okay, let’s release it to the general public, see how it goes.” And then as we started earning money, I realized that I don’t need to do a job. I can have this startup, and I can help different people have their own lifestyle. You could have your own lifestyle. You could sell your own stuff that you like, e-commerce, usually on Amazon, and then we help you have your lifestyle. So this is my personal ‘Why’, is we need more equality. We need more people doing stuff they love rather than doing stuff they hate to do, and they hate to wake up and go to work. So do what you love. We are here to empower you.  Wow, that’s amazing. So you are empowering people to start their own e-commerce businesses on Amazon, and you help them with AI tools to get up to speed and compete with the big boys.  That is correct.  Yeah. I love it. So on your LinkedIn profile, you mentioned that you are, I don’t know what the word was that you used, but something to do with superintelligence, AI superintelligence. So what is it that you are doing, and what is your vision of how AI superintelligence can be tapped into?  It’s a very long topic. But to start off with, we used the old form of AI, which is a lot of regression, a lot of statistics, a lot of big data learning, and a lot of neural networks, if you felt fancy. And then LLMs became a huge thing. And we launched AiHello probably six or seven years ago. LLMs became a big thing two or three years ago. And it was pretty fancy. It was very good. It made life easy for us. But we cannot use it within AiHello to give it to clients, primarily because LLMs start hallucinating once you go past a certain context. The problem with hallucination is that it exponentially becomes larger and larger. Because if the previous thesis is wrong, if your previous hypothesis is wrong, then it builds on top of it, and it builds the wrong things.  Hallucination exponentially becomes worse. And when it comes to finance, when it comes to ads, and when you’re working with sensitive data, this can be catastrophic. So you cannot use these large language models for finance, for situations where you need precise data, and especially when you have lots of context. It’s going to lose the context of the first part. Just because you mentioned something at the start of the conversation doesn’t mean it’s not important. It is critical. As humans, we understand what is the most critical part of a conversation, and then we keep that in mind. But LLMs, because of context limitations, just keep on going and start hallucinating.  So a few months ago, we came up with the idea that we could use something like a large language model, but not based on the transformer model. And we could base it on data so that there is almost zero hallucination. So instead of building weights, we build it based on data. And we launched this. We don’t use it on AiHello, but we decided to use it on an email service because we have a lot of emails. We process a lot of emails for clients. We process a lot of emails for specialists. So we could use the zero-hallucination approach within emails, and if it is successful, then we can put it into AiHello.  And we can, of course, release it as an API as well. So this is going to set the basis of artificial superintelligence because what is stopping us right now from reaching or breaching that wall of artificial superintelligence is this hallucination. And of course, there is also logic. LLMs are pretty stup*d. They don’t understand. You can teach them, they learn, but they do not question what you teach them. They always take it on blind faith.  Yeah. Wow. That is genius. I love it. You are going to un-hallucinate AI. And if it stops hallucinating, essentially it becomes a lot more powerful and scalable. AI becomes scalable, or this whole process becomes scalable. That’s fascinating. So your ‘Why’, your mission, is to empower all these people to run their businesses. Do you have a framework for this that you could describe in three to five steps? How do you get someone up and running with their own business on an e-commerce platform? Or do you have any other framework that you could share with the audience? Something simple that they may be able to benefit from? One of the caveats of using AI is that it needs a lot of data. So if you’re just starting out with your e-commerce business, you need to put more of your human intelligence, more of your gut instinct, more of your thoughts, and more of your emotions into building it out. And once you have built up enough data, then you can put it into AiHello and start automating it. So what I would say, if you’re starting an e-commerce business, is hire a specialist who can help you launch off the ground.  Do a bit of the hypothesis work, do a bit of the analysis, and then come to AiHello and start automating it. You can only start automating once you have a good idea of how things work for you. And finding how things work for you is something you need to do on your own. It’s like you can’t start running, or you can’t start driving a car, until you learn how to crawl and until you learn how to walk.  Okay. So basically, it’s the age-old innovation thing that you have to innovate something on your own, and then you can scale it with AI. That is correct.  Yeah. So let’s say I came up with some kind of formula, concept, or product that is currently not being promoted, and I believe it would work. Or maybe I’ve already tested it and I want to scale it. I want to get on Amazon and sell it there. What can you do for me? What are the steps for me to be successful with AiHello’s help? So the first thing when you select a product, is: what are the keywords for it? What keywords do you use for that product? The second would be: what are the bids for that product? For each keyword, what is the right bid to put up? And then you have other things like budgeting. Do you change the bid depending on the time of day? Do you change the bid in total? Those are the things that you need to keep adjusting continuously.  With AiHello, we automatically harvest the right keywords for your product. We change the bid. We optimize the bid. We also do dayparting, where you can change the bid depending on the time of day. So there are different things that you can use AI for. You could certainly do all of it manually, but it’ll probably take you days or weeks to do what AI can do in a couple of minutes.  So a couple of minutes. But doesn’t the AI also need traffic data to be able to define things?  Yeah. So one of the other things about AiHello is that, because we have the wisdom of crowds, if you come up with a keyword, we know exactly how that keyword is going to perform. As you say, you have the wisdom of crowds. Can you extrapolate what you’ve experienced with other products and other customers onto a new product that doesn’t yet have a lot of traffic? Is this what you mean by the wisdom of crowds? Or what do you mean by the wisdom of crowds?  Let me give you an example. Let’s assume you want to sell coffee, and you go to our platform and say, “This is my product. It’s coffee. Help me sell it.” So what we do is, we know this is coffee. What are the keywords around it that are going to help sell it? Because we’ve sold other coffee products, we know that organic coffee sells well. We know coffee in the morning sells well. Black coffee sells well. Caffeine sells well.  And we also know, based on the previous performance of other keywords, what a good bid is for each keyword. If you don’t know the keywords, then of course you have to spend time researching them. And if you don’t know the bids, then you have to spend time researching what bid to put in. But we do all the research for you, and you put it in. And the second part, the bigger part, is that if the bid doesn’t work out, if you’re not selling, then we increase the bid automatically. If you are losing money, then we decrease the bid automatically. So that bid optimization is a critical part of AiHello.  Yeah. We use Amazon ads to promote my books. And yes, it takes a lot of skill to find the keywords, eliminate the negative keywords, adjust the bids, have the right bids, and avoid overspending or underspending. But Amazon also does much of the machine learning. So what is it that Amazon does, and what is it that you have to do? And why doesn’t Amazon do what you have to do?  The most critical piece of information to keep in mind is that your aims and objectives are the opposite of Amazon’s aims and objectives. Amazon’s aim is to make money, and your job is to make money. You don’t care if Amazon makes money or not, and Amazon doesn’t care if you make money or not. So when you put up a bid, when you run ads, Amazon will maximize that ad spend, whatever it is. In some ways, it’s like a casino.  You go to a casino, and the job of the casino is to win money from you, and your job is to win money from the casino. Ads have become a lot like gambling nowadays. You throw money into it. You expect to make money. Ninety percent of people lose money, and they give up. And Amazon always finds fresh sellers to move on. You cannot depend on Amazon because Amazon is not on your side.  Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Yeah, I always thought that on some platforms it was really difficult to make money with ads. Facebook, I think, is so competitive that it’s probably very difficult to make money. I know a lot of people who have spent a lot of money on Facebook, but I don’t know very many who have figured out a formula that continues to work. Okay. So you’ve helped someone find their keywords, the right bids, and how to adjust those bids. But what we’ve found is that at some point, ads die, and then we have to switch things up. It actually happens quite frequently that you have to create new campaigns and new ads. So what’s the dynamic there? How do you optimize so that you’re not still supporting ads that don’t work anymore, and you switch at the right point?  So when we say ads, it’s not technically the campaigns. A campaign is just a container for all of your ads. You have products inside it, and you have keywords inside it. So a campaign is made up of products and keywords. And the question is, when you say ads die, did the keywords die? Then you need to add new keywords, right? You always have to keep adding new keywords and testing new keywords. It’s a continuous job of trying to find the right keywords for your book or your product, and then optimizing the bids constantly to make sure that you’re profitable.  You have to make sure that your ads don’t die because of a lack of fresh keywords. And of course, there’s always a limit to the number of keywords you can add because each product has a limited number of keywords that people are searching for. Maybe there’s a long-tail keyword that’s going to make money, but there’s not enough search volume. Or maybe there’s a high-volume search keyword, but it’s not profitable for you. So you have to figure out what the right strategy is for you. Eventually, if your product is good, you’ll make money. If your product is not good, you won’t make money. That’s the bottom line. With ads, you quickly find out if your product…  So essentially, it’s a cyclical thing. So you find the keywords, you figure out the right bids, you adjust the bids, and then you have to find new keywords and keep doing this.  Yeah.  So why do keywords go stale? Do people not search for certain things anymore?  There could be multiple reasons for it. One reason is that a competitor has come in and taken your search volume. And you have to know: are you losing search volume? Are you gaining search volume? Has your search volume dropped off? The second reason is that people are not searching for that keyword anymore. Is it out of fashion? The third is: are you underbidding? Is the bid too low? Again, you would know by the number of impressions. Have the impressions dropped off?  If the impressions have dropped off, is it because of a competitor? If it’s not because of a competitor, are people searching less? Are your bids too low? If the search volume is the same, are people clicking less? Why are they clicking less? Is it your images? Is it your product? Is your product no longer in fashion? I mean, I don’t know. Maybe a few months ago, fidget spinners were really in fashion, and nowadays no one uses them. So those things go out of fashion.  Yeah. The spinners, I remember. They’ve been out of fashion for a while.  Yeah.  Yeah, that’s fascinating. So it’s a never-ending cycle of innovation and figuring out what works and what doesn’t work. So let me ask you this: What drives growth in your business?  Most of the growth is… There are different ways to put it. Four years ago, we used to create a lot of blogs. We used to create lots of content. We used to create lots of YouTube videos. And then ChatGPT came along. If you ask kids now, “Do you Google that?” They don’t know what Google is. They really don’t know what Google is. And that’s not a cliché. It’s surprising. They’ll be like, “What Google?” Everything goes through ChatGPT.  So for us, growth went from Google to ChatGPT. And we didn’t spend enough time optimizing for LLMs on our site. So what drove growth before was blogs and YouTube. And what drives growth now is large language models like ChatGPT and Claude. People just ask ChatGPT, “What do I do about this on Amazon?” It recommends solutions, and then we go through them.  So how do you leverage large language models or AI applications?  This was one of the biggest boosts to our company. We managed to set the processes right. We managed to create the templates. We managed to bring structure to our company. Development work has become ten times faster. The turnaround is ten times faster. We’re able to release features quickly. We’re able to find bugs in our existing code quickly. There are a lot of things going on. If I were to say that our company is no longer the same company it was even a year ago, that would not be an exaggeration. It would be the truth. What we were a year ago is not at all what we are right now.  So in what way did you change? Is it coding that accelerated and changed everything? I mean, in what other ways did you change as a company?  So the code is all done with AI first. Our developers use AI. They put in the prompt, they check the results. There is a second developer who checks whether everything is okay and whether everything is done. And then finally there’s QA, and then we push it to staging. We used to do roughly one-month or forty-five-day sprints. Now we do weekly sprints. So it has gone four times faster. The biggest hurdle for us was managing clients and how we manage them. We never had any structure.  So we talked a lot with ChatGPT. We talked a lot about what the right way was to bring structure and accountability into the system. We managed to set up all the software required for accountability. It helped us fix those issues. It created structure. It created accountability for all the people, and then we implemented that. Finally, the last one, which was the most debatable, is that we require a lot of content. We require a lot of graphics. We require a lot of videos for clients on Amazon. I actually went to buy something on Amazon a few days back, and what was puzzling was that when I zoomed in on the images, you could see they were AI-generated because they all had these silly AI mistakes—spelling mistakes, random words.  So almost everything on Amazon right now, all the images, are kind of AI-generated. It’s hard to blame them. We ourselves use AI for a lot of the images. We make sure we don’t have the silly mistakes, but we do use AI as well. So the turnaround time for graphics is faster because of AI as well. Though some clients do complain that they don’t like AI-generated assets. And if a person looks a bit too AI-generated, they just reject it outright. So that is the most debatable part of it. But overall, our company is called AiHello. It’s AiHello. And if we don’t say hello to AI, then we’re not AiHello.  Yeah. Love it. I love the head and the one arm.  Yes.  The hello, and that’s it.  Yeah.  So what is one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in your business right now? We are a remote-first company, and I’m struggling to bring about accountability among all the team members. We do have a good number of employees. Ninety percent of our employees are good. Ten percent still have accountability issues. And for me, that is a bit of a hurdle. It is a bit of a challenge to push those people who are dragging their feet about AI. Yeah. Because they are not comfortable with AI. They want to do what they are good at and don’t want to do something new.  There is also a bit of hesitation that they might lose their jobs because of AI, although we’re not planning to let go of anyone. Rather, we are hiring more people because we’re able to grow faster. There is an old saying that companies won’t go extinct because of AI, but companies that don’t use AI will go extinct because of AI. Because we are using AI a lot, there is a chance for us to scale, for us to expand significantly. And I want to tap into this advantage and grow. I want to hire more people, and I want to grow. I don’t want to let people go.  So this is a very good opportunity. You hear about Coinbase letting people go. You hear about Facebook letting people go because of AI. And I think those are all nonsensical excuses. Those companies are not growing very well, and they are blaming AI for letting people go, which I think is absolutely nonsensical. There is a very good opportunity for people to grow and for companies to grow using AI and increase their hiring. If you’re letting people go because of AI, it’s just a nonsensical excuse.  So what do you think is the mental hang-up for people? What prevents better AI adoption or faster AI adoption? A long time ago, when computers were being introduced into many industries, I remember there were huge protests because people thought computers would take away jobs. And it did happen. People did lose jobs because of computers. There were many people pushing papers who lost their jobs. And a lot of people refused to learn about computers because they said, “This is nonsensical. I can do it better by hand.” Can you imagine telling people right now that it’s better to do things by hand than to use a computer?  I mean, if you want to do calculations, please don’t use Excel or Google Sheets. Use a pen and paper and tell me you can do it better. It would be absurd to think that way. But at that time, people really did have the mentality that it was better to do things by hand than with Excel. Now, the AI revolution is probably a thousand or a million times bigger than that. And you can drag your feet. There will always be people who drag their feet and say, “I can do it better. AI is just nonsensical.” And sure, some of that is true. But the overwhelming majority of tasks are going to be done extremely well with AI.  And it’s not just large language models. It’s everything. Regression analysis, data analytics, big data analytics, forecasting, calculations. I’m not even talking about transformer models. I’m talking about everything related to AI. So much can be automated and done by AI that if you’re not involved with it, you’ll get left behind, just like the people who didn’t use computers. Do you feel like people have to be highly educated to be able to use AI? Or can people with less formal education benefit from it as well?  I don’t think it has anything to do with education. I think the learning curve for AI is smaller than the learning curve for computers. If you’re already using computers, you can just install a command-line interface and have things running. Actually, you can go to ChatGPT and ask some questions, and you can build something. But if you want to build serious applications, you can use a command-line interface and build them out. I think the learning curve is probably just a couple of hours to become proficient with these tools. I’m thinking more about this: As AI tools develop and take many of the routine, repeatable tasks off our shoulders, doesn’t that mean we will spend more of our time on high-level thinking and orchestration? And won’t that require some kind of mental ability to do that? It requires you to understand context, understand the implications of things, and be able to connect the dots. So that’s what I mean. The people who can really use AI tools have this higher level of awareness and thinking. They can combine ideas and create new things. But are there AI tools that people with less advanced analytical skills can also use? Absolutely. And you’re 100% right. You’re 101% right. This is what I’ve been advocating for a very long time. Don’t spend your time doing mundane, repetitive daily activities that can be automated. Let AI handle them. You should focus on the things AI cannot do right now, which is human-level intelligence: Strategizing. Planning. Working on the bigger-picture tasks. So you’re 100% right, and that’s the direction we should be moving in. And this brings me back to the point I made earlier: You should do what you love. The things you don’t love, the repetitive tasks, should be done by AI.  Yeah. Love it. So what is your vision, ultimately, for AiHello?  So my vision for AiHello goes beyond AiHello. We have something called HalZero, which is the engine we want to put behind AiHello. It’s a zero-hallucination LLM. And we are working toward making it happen. We plan to release an API for it soon. If it does happen, then we would probably have a model that can take in data and answer general-knowledge questions with zero hallucination. And we’re building it based on how the human brain works. The human brain is not one-dimensional. ChatGPT is one-dimensional. Transformer models are one-dimensional.  You give them data, they run it through the transformer model—the encoder and decoder—and then they give you an answer. But the human brain is built in layers. What we call the lizard brain sits at the base, and as you go higher, things become more and more complex. So the brain is information and action, and everything is filtered through it. Then we act on the filtered result. Machine learning models right now do not have these kinds of filters. They have something similar, which is called chain of thought, but that’s really thinking out loud. This kind of reasoning should exist within the latent space of the machine learning model. It should be built into the model itself.  I’ll give you an example. If you had been taught all your life that the sun is green, and tomorrow you woke up in Virginia, went outside, and saw that the sun was yellow, you’d say: “Oh my God, I’ve been lied to all my life. The sun isn’t green.” You would question what you had been taught based on a single observation. But if a machine had been trained for years that the sun is green, and then it saw that the sun was yellow, it might conclude: “The sun is wrong today because I’ve been taught that the sun is green.” The real test of intelligence is this: Can it question its training data? And the answer is no. It won’t, because it has been trained on that data. It has been trained on those tokens.  Yeah. So that’s AI superintelligence? The ability to question the training data?  That is correct. Yeah. So we build it based on connections. How strong is this connection? How many people have stated this fact? What is my own observation? Which observation is stronger? There is always conflict. In the human brain, there is always a conflict between what people say and what we think. Then our logical brain chooses what is usually the best answer. That is how we have a collective consciousness. We also have a personal consciousness. We always have to decide which one is best.  Love it. Well, that’s great. So if you’re running a business and you need to sell a product, and you want to figure out how to be successful on Amazon, how to leverage your ads, and how not to overspend, where should you go? How can people get in touch with you, Ganesh, and your team? And what’s the first step for listeners?  You can send me an email at ganesh@aihello.com. You can connect with me on LinkedIn. I’m always available, and I’m happy to have a chat with you.  All right. So if you’re listening out there and you’re in e-commerce, or you want to get into e-commerce, and you don’t know how to leverage all the tools that are out there, don’t forget: Amazon is in the business of making money, not necessarily making your business profitable. So you can use AiHello to help you. Reach out to Ganesh on LinkedIn and get your team involved. And if you enjoyed listening to this episode, make sure you check back every week because I have successful entrepreneurs sharing their ideas—or at least some of the good ones—with you. So thanks, Ganesh, for coming.  Thank you, Steve.  And thank you for listening. Important Links: Ganesh's LinkedIn Ganesh's website Ganesh's email: ganesh@aihello.com

Gregory Copley critiques the upcoming US-Iran memo, characterizing it as a "rinse and repeat" cycle rather than a true victory. He argues that by failing to remove the Islamic regime, the US preserves a weakened but hostile power. Copleyalso notes shifting alliances as Gulf states pursue independent policies. (11)

Before we resume our One Another Study, I wanted to take a look at an issue that really can deeply affect how we treat one another - our tendency to want to PLEASE people.It is natural to want people to like us.But people-pleasing and the need for other people's constant approval can quickly become an idol.From our series in Esther, we see Haman grow enraged when one man, Mordecai, will not bow to him. The rest of the kingdom bows, but that's just not good enough for Haman.And that's how it is with approval addiction. So many people can love us - but once one person does not, our entire sense of self begins to crumble!We take a hard look at our unhealthy need to be liked, as well as so many other things, today on Rinse and Repeat!(RAR2026EP25)

Rinse the Glass with Scotch. Pour a small splash of scotch into your rocks glass. Swirl it around so the inside of the glass gets coated. Dump out the excess scotch. This leaves behind a smoky aroma without overpowering the drink.Fill a mixing glass or shaker tin about halfway with ice.Add the rum, calvados, maple syrup and chocolate bitters into the mixing glass.Stir for about 20–30 seconds. You want the drink chilled and slightly diluted, like a traditional old fashioned.Add one large ice cube (or a few regular cubes) to your scotch-rinsed rocks glass.Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over the ice. If you don't have a strainer, you can carefully pour it straight in.Garnish, express an orange peel over the drink.Reboot Drinking Game:Drink when...Someone says “JD” dramaticallyThere's a fantasy cutaway sequenceA patient teaches the doctors a life lessonChristopher Turk makes himself laughElliot Reid starts rambling when nervousPerry Cox gives someone a nicknameA sad indie song starts playingSomeone hugs unexpectedlyThe Janitor appears out of nowhereHospital staff clearly violate HR policyJohn Dorian has an internal monologueCarla Espinosa calls someone out for being immatureDr. Cox delivers an emotional speechTurk and JD act like they're in a romantic comedySomeone cries and then immediately makes a jokeThe reboot references an original-series momentA cameo from an original cast member appearsThe Janitor tells an obviously fake storyThere's a musical number or random dance scene“Guy Love” gets referencedSomeone says “wrong wrong wrong wrong”The episode suddenly becomes emotionally devastatingA patient dies right after a hopeful sceneJD narrates the ending over an acoustic song montageThe reboot somehow makes a joke about medical school debt, AI, or hospital TikTokTurk and JD recreate an old bit shot-for-shotAs always, drink responsibly and with others.

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – Communists do not care about human life; it is simply a means to an end. To Communists, it is only necessary to experiment and manipulate, and of course to vote, to keep them in power. Greed and resentment for those who have accomplished success, taking from those who work hard, level the playing field for them...
