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.

Watch the Full MRE Taste Test Video on YouTubeEating Expired Government MRE's Why would anyone eat expired MRE's? Seems like that would just be stupid and while we will admit, Jeff Macolino and Mr Dog Poop are not the 2 smartest men on the planet, they are not really that foolish. The fact is, the MRE's were sold on Amazon for around $15 each with a guaranteed expiration of 2 years from the date of the podcast. However, the items in the MRE's were clearly expired with clear evidence via packages of candy that had expired before the meals were even purchased. Our suspicion is that these were government surplus about to expire and some Amazon seller bought them to resell. This is dangerous since most people are completely unaware that they are expired and they contain meat, fish and proteins that do not last forever. If you purchased ...read more
Mondays news starts off with a bang. Mr Dog poop expressing his desire to be a news anchor and declaring that if anyone will pay him more than Jeff Macolino he is ready to jump ship and switch over to their show. News of the day included a discussion on Ckick-Fil-A banning gay people from the restaurants and Hobby Lobby being the anti-christ. Desantis takes over Disney with a panel of his friends to take out the Disney regime that runs orlando Florida. However, Desantis fails to tell anyone that it will cost Florida Tax payers 1.2 Billion dollars a year for Desantis to control disney. But "Tiny D" don't care, he is on his way to be the dictator of the United States and nothing will stand in his way. So watch out you woke mother fuckers, he is driving over the top of everyone. Florida is where ...read more
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
