Mr. Dog Poop: High school was always a horrible place. School is always a horrible place. Kids are terrible people. They have to learn, they have to be taught, and they have to be taught by their parents. And, you know, that's what we're talking about this week is helping your kids understand things. Helping your kids get a better education, using their brains, learning science and understanding the world better than from watching TikTok videos and feeling low self-esteem because you are not as pretty as somebody else. Or you don't wear the same clothes as somebody else, or you can't do what somebody else can do. Tik Tok has to go. We'll start a campaign against TikTok.

Jeff: I mean, people are going to say, I should stop watching the Man Show because it tells me I'm too stupid to do anything.

Mr. Dog Poop: Yeah, I'm pretty sure your own kids tell you're too stupid to do anything.

Jeff: Yeah.

Mr. Dog Poop: I don't know if it's the Man Show. So, Jeff, you're not holding anything up. I can't see what you're doing.

Jeff: I'm not doing much. I've got this unit together. So, I got one thing, two pieces together. I got the batteries. I'm obviously missing a step here with the solar.

Mr. Dog Poop: The solar doesn't work. I've already tested it.

Jeff: Oh, I don't care if it works. I just want it to look pretty at this point. It look like I did something.

Mr. Dog Poop: Where does the solar go?

Jeff: I mean, I think it goes in this piece. That's the other thing. Finding these pieces.

Mr. Dog Poop: I've found that piece. I got that. But it goes in there but.

Jeff: Yeah, where does it go?

Mr. Dog Poop: It doesn't stay in there. And then where does that piece go? I mean, it would be helpful if there were instructions.

Jeff: Yeah. And they really are not.

Mr. Dog Poop: I'm going to go ahead and do something. These look like solar panels, but they're fake solar panels because this solar panel, so this is all decoration. That's something I can handle. Something that is just fake.

Jeff: I know what to do. You need to use these little white sticky things to stick this here.

Mr. Dog Poop: So, I think this goes, oh, the white. Oh, shoot. All right. So, I built a solar panel. I built a solar panel. I'm going to build another solar panel now. Oh. So, the sticker ripped the other sticker. Little bit of a quality control problem there. I thought it was something on my end, but it's definitely, definitely something that happened in China.

Jeff: You know, you need to have small hands like Donald Trump to build these things.

Mr. Dog Poop: Yeah. You need small hands like Donald Trump. Donald Trump would be great at this. I mean, he's a stable genius. So, I just built two solar panels. Now, two solar panels like this and a balloon and I got a China balloon surveillance system. So, we're good to go.

Jeff: Jay Frog has a good addition to your point earlier. And it's frustrating doing these types of projects with my son. But some of our best conversations come from those moments. And that's a good point too. You don't even need to be successful.

Mr. Dog Poop: And this is what I said about my beautiful P 51 Mustang that I built on Monday. It doesn't have to be.

Jeff: It was hideous, man.

Mr. Dog Poop: It doesn't have to be.

Jeff: Your kid won't talk to you for weeks if you build that plane that looks like that. My kid wouldn't talk to me for weeks if I built a plane that ugly.

Mr. Dog Poop: Hey, you know, you build ugly things, I mean, it's ugly in some eyes. I'm mean, the A 10 warthog is ugly, but you know, it's a beautiful thing. Right?

Jeff: I’m also confusing Jay Frog by saying the statement, these white sticky things to stick on that thing.

Mr. Dog Poop: Oh, the white sticky things. These are white sticky things.
