Hello and welcome to episode 143 of the Thinking Elsap podcast in Vienna, I'm Ben Olsen, and with me in Los Angeles is Nathan Fox.

Nathan, I seem to remember you going to a lot of movies this weekend.

I have seen a bunch of movies yeah I saw R. B. G. yesterday the listeners really ought to watch R. B. G. How come? What makes it so

good? Well, I mean, you're trying to be a lawyer,

right? If you're a listener of the show, would you like to learn about one of the bad-ass lawyers of all time?

She's just incredible.

You know, I didn't really know that much about her life and her history and whatnot,

but Ruth Bader Ginsburg is pretty incredible and I think the

listeners should find it you know inspirational yeah yeah what did she do before she

went to the Supreme Court I'm'm sure a lot, but anything in particular?

Well, she was just a badass lawyer. I mean, basically a civil rights lawyer. She was one of the first women, well, I't know about one of the first but she was at Harvard Law School when there were nine women in a class of 535.

Oh, it's most. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. And and all sorts of, she faced all sorts of discrimination while she was there.

And she was just amazing. She was married and had a child while she was at like one hour at Harvard and her husband had these major medical issues

So she was taking care of like a one-year-old and her ailing husband and making law review as a one-all at

Harvard while she was only one of nine out of 535 women.

Holy smokes.

And yeah, she just like basically doesn't sleep, work till 4 a.m.

And she's just a killer.

Yeah, she's super passionate. She's her personality, she's just a killer. She's super passionate.

Her personality, she's really, really quiet.

She's very reserved and just, you know,

sort of shy.
