Jeff: That's in the melody box.
Mr. Dog Poop: Oh, it's in the melody box. Okay. And I said three goes to 21, the speaker. So, one side of the speaker. 3, 4.
Jeff: 3 to 21. Yep.
Mr. Dog Poop: Yep. So that's the speaker.
Jeff: Same on mine.
Mr. Dog Poop: And then four goes over to 31.
Jeff: Come on, get in there, baby.
Mr. Dog Poop: Oh, I got it in the switch. Oh, wire's too short.
Jeff: 22 to 26. Oh, I feel like I'm getting close if I'm doing it right.
Mr. Dog Poop: This is just like left foot, red, green foot, blue. Yeah. That twister game played as a kid.
Jeff: Yeah. I never played it as a kid, but I played it quite a bit in college.
Mr. Dog Poop: Yeah. So, 31 goes to 25.
Jeff: Oh.
Mr. Dog Poop: Are you kidding me?
Jeff: I did it.
Mr. Dog Poop: How did you turn it on?
Jeff: I think you're just one wire away from getting to the same place I am, but yeah, literally just hit the switch. I mean, I have to switch on.
Mr. Dog Poop: Well, now you threw me off track. 22 to 25.
Jeff: There we go. Jeff can build an eight-year-old toy.
Mr. Dog Poop: 20 goes to 25, 23, 22, 23 goes to 24. Well, what is 30?
Jeff: You know what?
Mr. Dog Poop: 30 goes.
Jeff: There is one that says electric piano. So, I'm going to try that one and see if I can get that to work.
Mr. Dog Poop: Mine didn't do anything.
Jeff: One more time for celebration’s sake.
Mr. Dog Poop: And maybe the only thing we get right tonight, so enjoy it while you have it.
Jeff: I think my kids were going to, you know, stop talking to me. They were so embarrassed. So, I kept asking them, there was a special secret to making these toys work and they just shook their head.
Mr. Dog Poop: Four goes to two. What the hell?
Jeff: I'm going to say, if I can't get the piano to work, then the piano's broken. Because clearly I know what I'm doing. Right.
Mr. Dog Poop: I can't get anything work. And I built a circuit board yesterday.
Jeff: Yeah, it is entirely possible on your end that yours just doesn't work.
Mr. Dog Poop: Probably. I mean, the one did where I turned the potentiometer.
Jeff: 31, 39, 37, 38. Okay.
Mr. Dog Poop: Oh, I see. There's just numbers there where you just do two to 30, 31, 20, 25 and four, all these.
Jeff: Oh yeah. Yeah. It makes it much easier to just do the numbers.
Mr. Dog Poop: Oh, so I'm trying to read the schematic.
Jeff: And I'm using the dummy playbook.
Mr. Dog Poop: That’s the problem with the being an electrical engineer is trying to work off of the schematic on this kid's board. And I should have just been reading the numbers.
Jeff: Yeah. I look at these schematics, like my football players look at me when I show them a play. They're like, what's the X mean?
Mr. Dog Poop: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they look like normal to me because I'm used to seeing them, but they're kind of dumbed down with boxes that don't really mean anything.
Jeff: It's entirely possible. And I'll give you this, even though I shouldn't, it's entirely possible. I might be better at this than you because it's too dumb.
Mr. Dog Poop: It's too dumb.
Jeff: I mean, I'm giving you that.
Mr. Dog Poop: All the dads out there that are electrical engineers, don't get this for your kids. It'll drive you nuts. Get them the soldering kits that we had yesterday.
Jeff: Oh, my god.
Mr. Dog Poop: You know, other than trying, because you can't really see what the things are. You made a piano. Just hold it up and let me copy you, So, you've got the green wire going from the speaker. Let me pull all these up. I want to make a piano.
