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?
Beer & Donuts - A Cooking and Review of the Express Mini Donut Maker Oh so long ago when we decided to make donuts. Beer and donuts we called it and the premise was to make donuts on our desks while live on the air and drinking a load of beer and whisky. Well, we did just that with a mini donut maker, so pancake and cake mixes and a whole lot of mess! Mr Dog poop takes out a 1950's hand mixer and blends that cake batter into a frenzy as Jeff Macolino just keeps eating the donuts before they are even finished. Neither of these guys should be allowed anywhere near a donut making operation. But nonetheless, they power though an episode getting burned and eating what they called donuts but more resembled a 2 grade cooking project where more batter ends up on the table than ...read more
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
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
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
