This was extremely helpful. I initially thought that the live action stuff was lame and unnecessary, but it didn't make the explanations feel longer and it definitely added to the viewing/learning experience. The jokes were great. You guys read my mind on modifying the question to get different answers. I like that you guys are applying evidence based education tactics. Keep up the great work!
