No. The oil is put on after it is popped.

I did! Said it could take up to three minutes to pop. But to stop the
popping when it gets down to one second between pops. But mine wasn't even
to that point yet and it it was all scorched. The second time, it began to
scorch even sooner. I stopped the popping so damage to only maybe three
kernels but about half was unpopped.
