Hello and welcome to episode 156 of the Thinking El-Sat podcast in Los Angeles. I am Nathan Fox with me in

Vienna, Virginia. Ben Olson. Ben, how you been doing since New York City?

Doing great actually. It's extraordinarily hot over here and I only mentioned that because

I'm trying to avoid commenting on the weather. As you know I just ran to talk to my kids before we started recording so that they would at least be somewhat quiet while we were talking and when I got upstairs

the two back door sliding doors or whatever they are

were wide open and they're outside running around.

I'm like, guys, it's 90 degrees outside.

No wonder the AC is like chugging away trying to make the house 72 or whatever.

Dude, you're just doing your part to combat global warming.

You're trying to air condition that outside.

Well, you know, it's hot out there in the backyard if you don't have the window or door.

Yeah, you have to blast the AC out into the outside.

Cool.

Today on the show, we have an update on the Elsat Demon.

We have news about our upcoming class October 20 and 21st in Chicago, Illinois, which is registering now on Thinking Elseat.com.

We have an email from Barry Law about a pretty crazy last minute scholarship offer.

We have someone asking about our use of psychedelics and someone said that it benefited them when they were thinking about their personal statement. I can't wait to get into that.

We have people asking about addendum, diversity statement and resume issues.
