Hello and welcome to episode 169 of the Thinking El-Sap podcast in Vienna, Virginia. This is Ben Olson. With me is

Nathan Fox in Los Angeles. How's it going, Nathan? Awesome man. How are you?

Doing good. Just last night had the post-L-Sat drinking party here in DC at a

bar that has ski ball pool and old arcade games. That was pretty fun.

Love it. Awesome. Yeah.

Most people who came since they had just taken the outset were now thinking a lot about their personal statement and I just had so much to say about it given all that we've been doing together with personal statements. Like in the past it was kind of like, hey, yeah, good luck with that, you know, but we see so many these days.

I just, I couldn't stop talking about them.

Yeah, we're going to have to write that book. We are, yeah. We'll work on it. One of our projects.

Yeah, what's going on? Oh, nothing. I'm just kind of shaking off the cobwebs this morning. I feel like every

time we talk I am hung over from the night before. I went to a party last night for

Kasa. Have I told you much about this volunteering thing that I do for Kasa? Anyway,

they had a Christmas party like volunteer, thank whatever and there was an open bar and then

just hung out after that and yeah just ended up having a long one so anyway that's why I'm running a little bit late this morning no

worries cool so today on the show we're gonna talk about a cool feature of

Tesla's cars that helped some of the people with the California

wildfires. I thought they were cool. We have a question on how do I study after a disappointing

L-SAT score?

Another emailer wrote in and said, hey,

I'm asking some advice for a friend.

Probably for themselves.

But anyway, Nicholas asks us to. probably for themselves but anyway

uh... Nicholas asks us to brutally review his personal statement
