The Ladies and gentlemen welcome to episode 11 of oral presentations I think we're going to call

0:24.7

this one man's discovery of electricity from 1703 to 1810.

0:33.0

That's going to be a long as-fuck title.

0:35.0

I don't know.

0:37.0

That's what this is though.

0:38.0

This is going to be the history.

0:40.0

We're going to go from the time period where people thought, oh fuck lightning, watch out, to the

0:49.6

invention of the electric battery. Now I landed on this topic because here's this week's

0:58.8

episode was supposed to be electromagnetism. I wanted to go big game hunting because last week was

1:06.1

D. B. Cooper and I did a bunch of like research on things that I thought were

1:10.9

going on there and then right at the very end before I was going to tape I just started laughing at myself and then the actual episode came out real loose and fun and just kind of making fun of myself and shit and I had a great time but as like a snap back from how loose that one was I wanted to

1:27.9

do one that was like a difficult topic for me. Honestly I count Marsupials as my first episode 9 Marsupials what's

1:37.0

going on in that pouch as my first science episode and so this one was going

1:42.3

to be my second science episode and so this one was going to be my second science episode and I thought

1:44.3

electromagnetism was only going to be like a step up from Marsupials what's going on with that pouch.

1:50.8

It turns out dude I started looking into electromagnetism, and here's the thing. I was watching a thing on it and it got to the point where electricity and magnetism have an interplay between them and that's when I

2:07.7

knew that my brain was exploding and I turned it off

2:10.8

But that's why I wanted to pick electromagnetism because I saw the exact point where I was like

2:15.7

fuck this dude I give up on this and then I was like all right well maybe we can actually

2:20.0

do electromagnetism because in my head at the time I was like we definitely know electricity, you know, and I can learn magnetism and then the actual challenge will be explaining the interplay between them on the episode.

2:34.6

And that will be the second step up in science episode.

2:39.4

So I'll be ready to tackle a different, because secretly, there is a science topic that beat the dog shit out of me
