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.

Pocket Sandwich Maker Review In Monday's episode the guys were on fire, well not on fire more like burned all over by the pocket sandwich maker. It is just plug in and go with no on off switch or temperature control. So be ready when you plug it in, it gets hot very fast. Does it make sandwiches? It sure does and many were approved by Fat Chris who appeared on camera long enough to take bites out of the very hot sandwiches and scurry back to his desk to finish eating them. The guys tried traditional grilled cheese with limited success but also got creative with pizza pockets, chili dog pockets, hand and Swiss, roast beef and provolone and a few mixes including trying to cook an egg that ended up mostly on the table. Overall the appliance we OK and that is just OK. The sandwiches mostly ...read more
Wednesdays news is dominated by discussions about Jenna Ortega who is front and center the most talked about celebrity in the world today. The guys talk about her career, her evolution as an actress and show video clips of her work over the years. The show was watched by a record number of viewers including Lorne Michaels who immediately contacted Jenna to host Saturday Night Live next week. So everyone can see Jenna Ortega on SNL thanks to the publicity she garnered from Mr Dog Poop on The Man Show Live. The guys compare Christina Ricci's career and Jenna Ortega's career since they both played Wednesday Addams although at very different times in their careers. Jenna is a seasoned 20 year old actress with more than a decade of acting experience while Christina was just 10 years old and only starting her career. The fact is, both girls killed ...read more
$17 Personal Frying Pan - Is it big enough for a man size meal? Personal Frying Pan - Is it big enough for a REAL MAN? Our first impression was that it was small. But that may be the best part, portable, does not take up much space and in the end, it did cook a man size portion. One man at least. The cons were, too shallow, no temperature control and that the handle needed to be assembled from 3 parts which is something some men wont be able to do. Mr Dog Poop cooks sausage chili made with Italian sausage, onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes and kidney beans. It is a struggle to get all the ingredients into the shallow pan but in the end, keeping in a heaping pile did work. Once that finished, he attempted a Philly cheese steak with mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Jeff cooks ...read more
Sucking Shit Through A Life Straw >Click Here to Watch This Episode on YouTube< Beer, Whisky and Dog Poop through a Life Straw? Will pure water come out? Just like the title says this episode literally has Mr Dog Poop putting dog poop in a blender with water and creating a poop shake that he attempts to drink through a Life Straw. The guys run the life straw, a supposed survival tool through a battery of tests including drinking urine, blood, beer, whisky and even dog poop. It is pretty crazy o say the least, but how are you going to know if it works? Have you tried it? Too many people buy these and are relying on them in case of an emergency, but our test told a different story. They taste like the plastic they are supposed to protect you from, you can taste all the fluids ...read more
