| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 201 of the Thinking Elseat Podcast in Los Angeles, I'm Nathan Fox. With me in Vienna, Virginia is not Ben Olson because Ben Olson is dead. No, Ben's not dead. Ben is taking the week off because of all the hard work he's doing on the |
| 0:26.8 | El-Sat demon development. And I'm very proud that this week I have a pretty long interview with a former student of mine named Kevin Dusa. |
| 0:35.8 | He's starting at Stanford Law this fall. |
| 0:38.5 | He's a super interesting guy. |
| 0:40.6 | We talked about existentialism and his Stanford essays and K-pop and law firm life and all sorts of things. I think you guys are really going to enjoy it. |
| 0:56.0 | After the interview I'm going to do a few logical reasoning questions from the newly released prep test 71. I'm going to do section 2 |

| 1:23.0 | L-SAT. It's a bummer that that's a full month before August 28, when the July |
| 1:27.3 | scores are released. So if you're taking the July test, you basically have to |
| 1:31.5 | register for the September test. |
| 1:34.3 | I think that's the right strategy. |
| 1:36.0 | Anyway, you've got till August 1st to do that. |
