Mr. Dog Poop: Mr. Dog Poop here with Jeff Macolino for another episode of The Man Show. Now, I've lost count, Jeff. We've done so many Man Shows. It's just unbelievable at this point.

Jeff: We have to be in the hundreds, right?

Mr. Dog Poop: It's got to be in the hundreds. And our subscriber count is like 18, so that's pretty impressive.

Jeff: Yeah, I mean, that's 18. We're getting there.

Mr. Dog Poop: Joe Rogan, watch out. Joe Rogan, watch out. And because we're on your tail. 18 subscribers. What are we doing tonight? We're on STEM week. Did you finish your airplane yet?

Jeff: No, not yet. My little hands came in. They're working on it.

Mr. Dog Poop: So, Monday we failed to build an airplane. Tuesday, we got beat up by a three plus science kit. And today, Wednesday, the third day, the hump day of STEM Week, we are building solar robots.

Jeff: And this is eight and up. So, we got beaten by a three-year-old item.

Mr. Dog Poop: I'm realize. I saw that today that it was eight and up and I was pretty concerned about it. But it says build and learn. Of course, I don't know what it's going to say inside. It says, build and learn. So, are we going to learn, or is this one of those AI robots that learns and then attacks you?

Jeff: Ooh, is this how Skynet gets started?

Mr. Dog Poop: This looks like Skynet.

Jeff: Skynet for kids.

Mr. Dog Poop: Let's open this thing up. What have I got here for Man Nights?

Jeff: And of course, we're doing this at night, but it does say, powered by the sun. No batteries needed.

Mr. Dog Poop: Did you bring a sun with you?

Jeff: No, no. I left it in my other shorts.

Mr. Dog Poop: Oh, no. Oh, no, Jeff, I just looked in the box.

Jeff: Oh, no.

Mr. Dog Poop: Oh, my goodness.

Jeff: Oh, this is intimidating. And this manual for a kid's toy is kind of thick .

Mr. Dog Poop: This is like the Magna Carta, man. This is a huge, long, intricate manual. All right.

Jeff: By the way, tools you may need when it says no batteries, tools you may need right there, two batteries.

Mr. Dog Poop: Are you kidding me?

Jeff: Nope.

Mr. Dog Poop: No.

Jeff: Luckily I've got batteries.

Mr. Dog Poop: It has power packs. What size batteries?

Jeff: AAA.

Mr. Dog Poop: 1.5-volt AAA’s. Well, it says no batteries needed, but all right. So, ah, I thought this was going to be an easy robot thing. Oh, my goodness.

Jeff: My goal is just to finish one of these childhood products on the show. You know, just one of them. I thought this was my one.

Mr. Dog Poop: Well, you know, I've been saying that the kids today are stupid, that they're not learning anything. If they can do this, they're smarter than we are. But I don't know that they can do this.

Jeff: This is what's intimidating.

Mr. Dog Poop: I don't even know where to start. What are we supposed to rip all these pieces out? You're going to break these off of here? How do you know you're breaking the right pieces off?

Jeff: I'm going to go ahead and break and hope that I'm not wrong.

Mr. Dog Poop: All right. I got some cutters here. They were for something else, but I will how, wait, what? I don't even know where to start. This is insane.

Jeff: BS&Beer! says, I assume with all those parts, there will be a part two, I bet on the owner.

Mr. Dog Poop: I mean, I got a solar panel here. I got a solar panel.

Jeff: Yeah, I assume that's what this thing is.

Mr. Dog Poop: And a battery. And oh, this must be a little motor or something. Well, I think that's an electric motor. So, let me take that out.

Jeff: Man, just opening all these little things. It's like, you know, you don't realize how time consuming it is till you feel like you're on the clock as you want to finish before the end of the show.
