So.... we thought it would be a great idea to review STEM (Science, Technology, Engeering and Math) projects on The Man Show Live.
After all, if it is made for kids from 6-12 years old, it should be a snap for two way more than 12 year old guys to demonstrate.
This one caught us by surprise. We thought it would be easy. We thought we were as smart as any 6 year old.
We were wrong!
So what happened? How hard can it be to assemble a model of a P51 Mustang?
Well, when we opened the kit we realized were were literally building the plane from scratch. The kit had either 285 pieces or 258 pieces depending on weather you believe what is says on the box or the directions. They both had different numbers so the kit was even too confusing for the manufacturer.
We struggled through and made the best models we could in our 1 hour episode, but it was dismal and did not look anything like the instructions. But that is not the fault of the kit, it was very challenging and very flexible allowing kids to create anything they want.
This is the kind of mechanical project that will keep children off TIKTOK and engaging in mechanical engineering. And while Mr Dog Poop and Jeff might be content with their creations we do hope that children age 6 will not.
The kit has an abundance of parts and can allow any young mind the ability to be creative, to build something unique.
After all, aviation did not occur overnight. Even with the worlds best minds it took decades to actually create something that would fly.
When the Wright Brothers finally achieved it they flew for a whopping 12 seconds. In later flights that day they improved it to 852 feet in 59 seconds. Not exactly a trans Atlantic flight.
The point is, it took the brightest minds to believe that flight was possible, the dreamers, the visionaries, the people we typically think are crazy for believing such nonsense.
It is our job to help children grow their minds into someone that can think outside the box. Someone with strong deductive reasoning that has skills in multiple disciplines.
The kits we are reviewing this week could be just enough of a push to get your child moving into that direction. To give your child an advantage because they are excited by science.
The P-51 Erector Set was an excellent kit. By far one of Mr Dog Poop's favorites. Because if it was easy, there would be no value in it. No challenge and no ability to spawn innovation.
This one gets a Man Show top rating.

Chemistry For Kids? Review of Children's Chemistry SetThe guys made a big splash on today's episode of The Man Show Live with a review of a chemistry set for kids age 3+. Of course, Mr Dog poop is in his element because he runs the world's largest dog poop DNA lab and is a true scientist having been credited with developing the genotyping panel being used to identify DNA in dog poop with that of the source. So doing experiments made for 3 year olds should be easy. On the other side of the camera Jeff Macolino thought he was going to learn how to build a meth lab. He came dressed for the part as a character from the hit show Breaking Bad, a story about Walter White, a modest high school chemistry teacher who transforms into a ruthless kingpin in the local methamphetamine drug trade. While it ...read more
Mountain House Adventure Meals - A LIVE prep & taste test of 4 freeze dried survival mealsIn this episode of the man show, we try some of the Mountain House Adventure meals for texture, quality and taste. What that, the guys had mixed opinions about the meals and Mr Dog Poop did not think the bacon and eggs was edible while Jeff sucked down the entire feed bad. These feed bags are very convenient for travel since the are dry, very light and last for decades in any storage condition. Of course, you still need access to clean water which might be problematic in a survival situation. But for camping, hiking or travel they are a great option at around $10-$15 per meal. The amount of food in each was surprising and likely enough to feed 2 people. The beef stew had almost no beef and was relatively tasteless. ...read more
Reviewing the $45 NutriChef Air Fryer Roaster Oven, Bake, Grill, Steam, Broil, Roaster with Beer! The live show today kicks off with an Air Fryer that retails for just $45 and uses the older design of a glass dish allowing you t see the food cooking. This design was out long before these devices were called "Air Fryers" they were called cyclonic cooking action, but for today's brain dead millennials that would be way too much to say or understand. So they simplified it to Air Fryer. Unfortunately for millennials this does not come with an app or the ability to order via Uber Eats. You are going to have to cook something yourself with this device. But fear not, the guys show you how to heat up leftovers, cook raw food and mix fish with chicken in the same oven. Overall, this device was the best reviewed so ...read more
The show starts off with some Florida Man stories that make people cringe. But breaking news comes from Glen in California who broadcasts live from the Blizzard in Tahoe. Internet service is spotty, but Glen promises to build a snow family of the addams family for Wednesday's show. Discussion of Trump vs Ron DeSanctimonious and how Little Ronnie took over Disney and put the workers on a bus to relocate them to New York. As they parted, Ron tweeted, take your wokeness back to where you came from! In depth discussion of how Ron the Dictator is destroying education in Florida and how students are walking out in protest. Powerless against the Desantis war machine, Jeff gives up and calls it a win for Mr Dog Poop. The guys discuss Sean Penn and his search for a crisis so e can be front and center. They question where his ...read more
