OK, they are not really motherboards, they are just small printed circuit boards with simple projects for kids as part of our STEM week projects.
These projects are typically under $10 and vary in scope and complexity.
We tried a clock and a musical board.
The first word I have to describe these is SMALL!
Tiny parts, hard to read and difficult to understand, but isn't that the point? To challenge young minds with projects that make them think. Projects that build on deductive reasoning and get them off their phones for a few minutes a day.
These simple projects and a less than $10 soldering iron will keep kids busy for hours.
It is a good entry project into electrical engineering, helping kids understand basic components and how the boards are assembled.
At one time back in the 70's you could walk into any Radio Shack store in any mall and get these projects, but they are now out of sight and out of mind.
We wanted to make parent aware that these kits are available online and serve as important catalysts in steering careers toward engineering.
The more your kids know, the stringer they are.
We have shown a few items in STEM week and this was Mr Dog Poop's favorite because he was personal friends with Thomas Edison back when he invented electricity.
As the comedy podcast goes... there are no fibs to big to tell.
It is important to entertain in order to educate and while educating people is not the focus of the man show, we figured what not for a few days, what can it hurt?
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
P51 Mustang Erector Set Review - ***** 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 ...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
