I'm Jimmy DiResta, and I'm a maker.
That's a hip way of saying I make things… like this.
Pretty cool, right?
Walk with me.
For years, I made my name as a toy designer in New York City.
Then I realized I don't like the city, I don't like designing toys,
and to be honest with you, I don't really like kids.
It's not like I hate them or anything.
It's just it's, "Check out my little Timmy."
I don't care.
Look at my birds.
So anyway, I quit my job,
I left the city, and I moved upstate to here, my farm.
I got land, I got animals,
and best of all I have this.
The ultimate maker workshop!
Inside, I have every kind of tool and machine imaginable to make things.
Pretty impressive stuff, huh?
Really? You're labeling the table like that's some sort of impress--
"Bag"? We can just--
Okay. Graphics guy trying to be funny.
Can we please get on with it? Anyway…
So I got a call to be on a TV show 'cause I'm a maker celebrity or whatever.
I said, "Sure. Cool." Why not, right?
So I agreed.
Then I found out who I'd be working for.
Jimmy!
-Hi. -Hi!
Jimmy!
Hey, Jimmy.
What do you want?
Okay, Mr. Grouch.
Thirty years of expert build experience, and I'm taking orders from half-pints.
Because misery loves company, I brought my buddies in on it with me.
Say hi, guys.
-Howdy! -Hello!
That's Jackman. He's an engineer, and he plans everything.
It's really annoying, but he's good at it.
That's Derek, my best friend.
Big guy and even bigger softie.
This is Graz.
Good maker, bad jokes.
And Canadian Pat.
Well, your guess is as good as mine.
Let's have some fun.
Together, we'll take pitches on this.
Listen to whatever their dumb little brains can come up with.
The Pig Tripper. It trips the pig.
-Wow. -So a catapult that throws cat poop?
-Yes.
If it's interesting or doable, I'll build it. If not--
Next!
-Next! -No way.
-Next! -Shut up!
-Some builds will be good.
Dino Taco Toilet.
Are you not entertained?
Some builds will be bad.
Graz, I told you the scissors were gonna be too heavy!
Make a bigger handle!
But all of them will be absolutely pointless.
-Yeah! -That is disgusting.
Whoa!
-I want the unicorn to fart! -I can't believe I'm doing this.
-Go, Graz!
Why are we doing this? Because we make things. That's what we do.
-Thought we weren't supposed to have fun. -I'm not having fun!
We're gonna show these kids, if they can dream it up…
I want it to be a guitar boat that floats.
You're onto something there.
…it can be built.
Oh!
That is so cool!
Hey, it might even inspire them to build
outside their little Minecraft -y world, or whatever.
-Do I wanna do it?
Dumbest thing we've ever made.
Not really. But this isn't about me, is it?
-So here we are. -You better get to work!
Funny how their dreams are my nightmare.
Come on, Jimmy. Have some fun.
Whatever.
-Why is it called a unicorn? -"Uni." One.
But "corn." Shouldn't it be unihorn?
Corn is horn in French.
-Is it? -Yeah.
Is it really?
-Yeah. -So a unicorn…
-Should be a unihorn. -Where's the corn?
-Corn means horn in French. -See?
He's gotta check his French.
-Oh, yeah. -He's not even French.
He's Canadian.
-Oh, yeah.
Man, can I ask you a question? What do you call… corn?
-Mais. -Mais?
-Mais. -Mais.
What about a corn maze? What would you call that?
Mais maze.
Let's move on.
-Come on. -We'll talk later. Dude.
-Ready? -Yeah.
Let's do this. Bring it up.
Oh, hey! Tell me your names, young men.
I am Connor, and this is Eli.
-You guys look like insurance salesmen. -No!
-Hi. What's your name? -Savannah.
-Savannah? -Uh-huh.
Are those your drawings on the wall behind you?
-Yeah. -You better be nice to her.
-You're a very good artist. -Thank you.
She's too adorable.
We might have to make whatever she says, guys. I'm sorry.
Tell me your names.
-Vada. -My name's Brennan.
Are you guys twins?
-Yes. -Whoa.
Can you guys answer every single thing at the exact same time?
Yes.
Have you guys seen The Shining?
No.
You have inventions you want to tell me about?
-Yes. -Uh-oh, we got paperwork.
This is Air Boots.
-It's got a "turbo." I see that. Yeah, I see "turbo."
All right. So we have a storage rack to store air and keep your balance.
-Yes. -So you're pitching me a walking shelf?
Yes.
Wow.
Our idea is going to be a boat.
-A boat? -Chicken-head boat.
A chicken-head boat.
And it can dance on land.
Anything else?
It's voice-activated.
Okay. This is a big narwhal.
Tell me what a narwhal is.
It's like a seal with a horn for its nose.
I think they're called "the unicorns of the sea."
-You better not break her heart, Jimmy. -Yeah.
So imagine you and I are on an escalator. Okay?
Yep.
By the time we get to the top, you have to tell me your whole idea.
-Yep. -Go!
It is like a theme park, a very small theme park.
The room right here is for yoga.
And, of course, this is the cafeteria
where people can eat pizza.
Yum, yum, yum.
I love it.
This room here--
Wait. This isn't the escalator at the Mall of America.
This is the escalator in the subway of New York.
Okay. So…
Okay. So, five words or less, describe your invention to me.
Fast boots!
And?
Jumping boots!
Fast boots, jumping boots.
That's four. Okay. one more word and you might sell it.
And then storage.
-Five words. -Our idea is going to be a boat.
And it has a chicken head on the front,
and it has wings.
That's like 85 words.
And it can swim in the water!
We're not going to do your idea!
Say storage one more time.
Storage! Storage! Storage!
Don't do it, Jimmy! Don't do it.
-Out! -No!
This is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you.
But we're gonna have to go in another direction.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Next.
Hey, guys. What's your names?
-I'm Izzy. -Izzy?
-I'm Olivia. -Izzy and Olivia.
Can I ask you guys what do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be an African soccer player.
An African soccer player? And Izzy?
I wanna be a veterinarian in China so I can help pandas!
-Wow, that's amazing. Very detailed.
I love pandas.
-Now do you guys have ideas to pitch us? -Yes.
Tell me in five words what this invention is about.
Panda Paradise Soccer Shoe Car.
Panda Paradise Soccer Shoe Car?
Yeah. I want to build a humongous soccer shoe.
You want to build a soccer shoe?
Big as a house!
Yeah!
-Perfect. Why do we wanna make a soccer shoe car?
I want to drive in a shoe,
and she likes soccer.
So it's a soccer shoe car!
Brilliant! Yeah. I love it.
All my kids played soccer, I have a daughter named Olivia,
and I always wanted a panda.
-What do you think? -I don't know.
If we made it big enough, I could sit in it, drive it around, look silly.
-Paul, what do you think? -Sounds fun.
-Get a big ball, kick it. -I like pandas.
-I like pandas too. -I love it.
-It kind of makes sense. -Yeah.
What color do you see the soccer shoe?
Black and white like a panda!
Maybe we could put some, like, panda bear graphics on it.
-Oh, you just blew her mind. -I think she's gonna explode.
-Soccer panda. Soccer panda. -Soccer panda. Soccer panda.
-We wanna do it, Jimmy. -Eh, we'll do the idea!
-Yes! -We'll let you know when it's done.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! All right. Shut them up. Let's go.
-All right. Let's get to work.
You heard the girls. Panda Soccer Shoe Car.
I'm picturing a soccer shoe on wheels,
cleats, maybe a panda.
We're gonna have it kick a big ball, I think.
And we're talking about maybe putting something in the tip of this.
This way we could sneak up on the ball and hit it.
Like something that explodes or a punching device?
How about a boxing glove?
-Okay. A boxing glove. -Like in a cartoon.
The thing we're gonna need to figure out
is what's gonna be this vehicle
that we build the shoe on?
I was thinking like a zero turn lawn mower.
A zero turn lawn mower is cool, but I don't want to fiddle around with…
-Gasoline and stuff. -Gasoline.
An electric vehicle would be easy because we don't have to dilly dally
with any of the motor parts.
-So golf cart. -Electric golf cart?
-Brilliant. -Golf cart. Yeah.
That makes it easy.
For the structure of the sneaker, we'll start with some wooden strips.
Kinda like a strip canoe.
And then on top of that, we'll build some skin.
Combination of, like, foam, vinyl, leather accents for the outside.
Jackman, you're okay with making the punch?
You guys work together making the punch mechanism.
-Okay. Yeah. -You can use that engineer brain of yours.
I'll make the frame kind of like an upside down boat.
-Derek, you and I will work on that. -Yeah.
Graz, it's on you to find an electric vehicle.
You're gonna have to strip it down, get it ready for the sneaker frame,
which is gonna live on top of it.
-Gotcha. Chop shop it. -Yep.
Is it the stupidest thing you've ever made?
It's not the stupidest thing I've ever made, but it's up there.
It's up there. I've seen you smile a couple times.
You're gonna have some fun with this one.
-Let's get the materials. Let's go. -All right.
Whoo! Whoo!
-What the hell is it? -Smell it. Smells good.
Oh, yeah.
That's good stuff.
Okay. You wanna cut it?
Let's be real. A soccer shoe car is pretty dang ridiculous.
It makes about as much sense as one of Derek's stories.
My house was like a little zoo growing up.
We had a hermit crab. His name was Big Meaty Claws.
But that's our job at hand right now.
The first step to making a soccer shoe car
is to cut out a soccer shoe shape out of plywood.
We're laying out the parts that are gonna become the framework
that's gonna define the perimeter of the shoe.
The framework is the most important part of any build.
It's the skeleton that will hold it all together.
Derek's using a jigsaw because they're the easiest saw to maneuver
when following and cutting straight on a line.
I guess it doesn't have to be straight.
Yeah, you didn't want me to stay on the line, did you?
It's fine.
While Derek and I work on the shoe outline,
we'll need the golf cart to be stripped down.
It's the simplest job on this build, so naturally I've assigned it to Graz.
Now that we have the golf cart,
my job is to take everything that's non-essential off the thing.
So that's roof, tubing, back seat, and everything.
Fore!
Ah, it's much better.
The last piece of the puzzle is the punching mechanism,
which I've left in the capable hands of our engineer, Jackman.
So…
-And his Canadian sidekick, Pat. -So…
We need some sort of a mechanism for the toe.
It'll kick and punch.
It's basically gonna be a giant boxing glove.
Here's what I'm thinking.
We'll start with the boxing glove. That'll give us a sense of scale.
We'll use this foam rubber as a form for the glove,
build that around the PVC pipe.
We'll kinda hot-glue it and wrap it around itself,
until we get the rough shape of the glove, and then over that, we'll do vinyl.
-Let's try it. -Is it ready?
-I smell something burning. -That's it. Yeah.
I don't know if that's gonna hold well.
-How's that working out? -You sure hot glue holds this?
Yeah, yeah. Let me get some wire.
Just push, push, push, push.
Push and put. Squeeze it. Squeeze together, push, push. Exactly!
There's so much stress going on inside this foam rubber.
We're trying to solve the problem of making it look like a fist.
-Oh, yes. That feels good. -That's it. I'm excited.
Jimmy! Are you done doing their project
so we can get back on ours?
We're at a standstill till Graz comes back with the cart.
All right. I got you guys started. You could finish this from here.
We'll wrap it with canvas.
-It's not bad. The size is okay. -Yeah. It's perfect.
So what are you thinking?
What I wanna do is, considering the bottom of the sneaker
is gonna live one foot above the ground…
-Let's cut a bunch of one-foot legs. -Okay.
And then we'll start building the ribs and straps, which keep…
You okay?
Yeah, dude. I came in… I don't know…
You must've been distracted by the work I did, but no,
"Hey. Thanks, Graz, for doing all that stuff in the hot sun
while you guys are just relaxing in here."
-You did a good job. -What was that?
-You did a good job. -Did you get that? He said, "Good job."
I just want to get that on camera
so I can have that to show my family and my friends.
-You did a good job. -What was that?
-You did a good job. -Did you get that? He said, "Good job."
I just want to get that on camera
so I can have that to show my family and my friends.
-You did a good job. -What was that?
You did a good job.
Jimmy said, "Good job."
Now with the golf cart stripped down and the outline of the shoe cut out,
the assembly can begin.
Pull it over here, Graz. That'll be the tip.
Kind of like that.
It'll be kind of like that?
-That's pretty solid. -Wanna take some supports out?
-Wanna take off the two-- -Not yet.
I wanna build all the strength in while it's in that position,
so when we take them out it stays there.
-I was hoping this was heavier wire. -No. We're not gonna use the wire.
-We're gonna use the magic finger. -Oh, good idea.
See, we're gonna go like this.
From here to here, we're going to go…
-Wow. -To there. See it?
-Yeah. -I love the noise it makes.
-Listen. -From here to here, it'll go…
Whoop!
-Oh, that's a good one. -And then from here to here…
-Oh man. My favorite part of the show. -From here to here.
-We're gonna do those ribs on both sides-- -Can you pass the magic finger to me?
It doesn't work on you. It's gonna look like--
-Look at it. It's working. -Put that finger someplace else.
Give me a piece of wood.
The ribs of the shoe will be cut out of plywood and attached to the frame.
That will give us a strong foundation,
and the curved lines will give us the sneaker shape that we need.
-How's it looking? -That looks good.
Would you rather have these curved like this,
or would you rather have them straight on?
Go straight on, and then I'm gonna ask you guys
the difficult task of doing one more in between each of those.
-Okay. -Is that all right?
-That's fine. -We'll be here.
-Thanks for coming. -Thanks.
Jimmy.
-What? -Come here a second.
We gotta brainstorm how the door's gonna work at the front of the shoe.
-Where this is gonna pop out. -Right.
I have some ideas.
This is what I was thinking.
I see where this is going.
-What do you think? -It's awesome. I love it!
Boink!
I like the mechanism. The gizmocity of it's really cool.
The thing that I don't like
is that the doors are still in the way once we open 'em.
Because we really can't open them far past 90
because how the pivot points interact.
-Jimmy. -What if we do it more like a garage door?
-Right. -Maybe one piece, but it lifts on the toe?
-Jimmy! -Rather than lifting out.
-Up and out. -Jimmy!
We were talking beards.
What do you think Graz would look like if he had a goatee?
-Okay.
-You'd look so funny if you had a goatee. -Dude.
So you see what I'm thinking.
I'm fine with you experimenting with the other directional door.
-And then make the best decision. -Okay.
I gotta deal with these morons.
-Thank you. -Thanks, Jimmy.
Ooh.
Prototyping.
Looking good, buddy. Looking good.
Looking like a shoe.
The skeleton of our shoe is complete,
but we still need to fill in the gaps.
And for that, we will use thin strips of poplar.
Poplar is technically a hardwood but on the softer side,
so it's easy to bend and you don't risk cracking it with a staple gun,
which is great because pretty much any idiot can use one of those.
Ugh!
The idea is to cover as much of the structure as possible,
so that we have a solid base to add fabric and vinyl.
-Let's put another one on top-- -No, no, no! Glue this to that.
No. But we got a bump here--
That's okay. We gotta do the lace thing anyway.
Hold on. Look here. We have one--
I know. It doesn't matter.
Don't waste your time on this.
I hate when dads argue.
-We need it somewhere else. I'll show you. -No.
Does that mean we're not going to the arcade tonight?
-Let's put that one right like that. -No? No arcade?
It's all your fault. We're breaking up 'cause of you.
I like that it actually looks like a shoe.
-A little orthopedic but still a shoe. -It looks like a corrective shoe.
-Yeah. -Because it's not right nor left.
-It's just straight. -It's just straight.
I play defensively.
-Yeah. I know. -Go ahead.
The boxing glove is starting to look and work like a boxing glove.
It also looks like it's been sitting in an attic for 30 years.
The next step is to make it look ready for the ring.
So, Pat, we have a giant boxing glove here.
-Mm-hmm. -Next step is to wrap it in vinyl.
To do that, we made these templates out of paper.
We started with plastic wrapped around it,
and then cut seams and translated that to flat templates,
which we'll then trace on the vinyl, cut the vinyl, and wrap the glove.
Let's get back to work…
-Ready for this? Knock him out? -Oh, yeah. Yeah.
You heard what he said about your kid and your wife?
-Can't have that. -Can you kiss me first?
-Go get him! No. -Yeah, I will, but kiss me first.
So now that that's done, let's figure out the nose
and how that mechanism's gonna work.
-Get this installed. -All right.
-That looks better than I expected. -Right?
Now that the wooden structure is complete,
we're finally ready to start adding some design and color.
We chose to cover it in vinyl because it looks like leather,
but it's more durable and a heck of a lot cheaper.
And we chose the sky blue color because that's what we had in the shed.
Don't go too far without pulling and stretching. Pull it under.
-Well, look at this. Yeah. -Looks good.
It's those things you put on when you go into a rich person's house. Shoe *ies.
It may not be the prettiest thing you've ever seen, at least not yet,
but I know exactly what it needs to really make it pop.
Jimmy DiResta, the man, and his machine.
By sewing details, like this trim, that will go around the rim of the shoe
and eventually some panda graphics, this ugly thing will transform
into a gorgeous Panda Soccer Shoe Car in no time.
-Attention, Jimmy. Children calling. -Oh!
-Attention, Jimmy. Children calling.
-Hi. -Hi.
Look who it is. The little soccer wacko and the furry.
What's with the panda suit?
I'm in love with pandas.
I think I heard a thing or two about that.
And I kind of go all out because I got my socks.
That's very cute.
And then I got my earrings.
I also have like a million panda pajammies.
All right, all right. Get to the point. We gotta get back to work here.
How fast is it gonna be?
-Fast. It's gonna go 800 miles an hour. -Say what?
Yay! That's fast.
Are there pandas?
We're gonna have a live panda. We're getting panda babies smuggled in.
I don't think that's true.
-No. that's a different show. -Locked Up Abroad.
Wait. What color is it, or like what color or colors?
Blue, we got blue and a little bit of white.
-That's-- -We need more colors!
What?
Uh-oh!
A wrench in the system! System, system, system.
That *s!
We need more colors!
I already started making the thing blue and white.
Purple! Blue!
Yellow! Orange! Red! Green! Black!
-I think that's all the colors. -And pink!
-Mmm. -Fine, fine.
It's gonna be a Panda Soccer Shoe
with all the colors in the rainbow and black and white.
-Yay! -Are we good?
-Very. -All right. Go! Let me get back to work!
Okay, Mr. Grouch!
Dude, can't you ever be happy?
-I can! What makes you happy?
Being mean.
That is so you!
Everybody shut up.
You heard the girls.
We gotta come up with some idea for colors, colors, colors.
Yep. We can spray paint that.
Spray painting is an option.
My first thought was tie-dye. Like you do to a t-shirt.
Tie-dye. How do we tie-dye vinyl?
You do, like, um, like with spray paint.
You ever see a hydrodip?
You spray it into the water, you dip it in there--
-Yeah. -Yeah.
So if we have a big tub, and we have water in that tub,
and we spray-paint right onto the surface.
-Yeah. -We can't put the whole sneaker in.
No. We can do sections of it instead of doing the whole thing.
That'd be way too big.
So all the colors of the paint will be floating on the surface of the water.
And then we take that thing, which is a strip that'll be…
-And we… -I thought it was a horseshoe.
This is a detail strip off of the cleat.
Like the side of the shoe.
And we'll dip it through the hydro, and it would have all colors on it.
-Cool. -Whoop.
-I like it. -It's gonna be trippy.
More colors!
Orange! Green! Blue! Yellow!
Every color of the rainbow!
And pink!
-You guys good with the hydrodipping? -Yep.
You gotta make the cleats. Don't forget that part.
Get to work on the punching mechanism. Get it done.
-Okay. -I'll work on some details on the sneaker.
-Okay. -We'll be back.
So basically with hydro dipping, the oil paint stays on top of the water.
When we take the stripes, put it through the paint.
When you take it up,
there's gonna be a nice marbleized effect on top the stripe.
It's gonna look really cool. Izzy and Olivia are gonna love it.
-All right. -All right. Let's do it.
-Oh man. -Dad noise.
They need to get pools that are higher up.
Seriously.
All right. So this is a panel Jimmy stitched up.
We're gonna try this one. See how it looks with a little pink and blue.
-Yeah.
-Give me that pink.
Okay. That's good.
You ready? Do it.
-Wait for it. Wait for it. -Hold. Hold.
-Do it! -One, two, three.
Oh!
It's definitely colors.
-We nailed it. -Nailed it.
Nailed it.
Next.
Oh, yeah. This is gonna be awesome.
It's gonna be cool.
-You ready? -Before…
Go. Pull it.
Oh, damn!
-That's nice. -Love it. Looks good.
-What colors we doing? -Green and blue.
-We shake them up? -No. Not yet.
Nailed it.
I think we might have a future in this.
Color me impressed.
-I'm gonna put it out to dry in the sun. -All right.
So paracord is made from nylon,
petroleum product, which is why it melts instead of burning like cotton would.
Look at how much I've gotten done.
And look at how much they've gotten done.
-We have springs and pulleys. -Yep.
We're gonna use those to open up the toe of the shoe.
The springs take some weight off,
and then we'll have some string and attach that to a mechanism
inside the seat of the golf cart. That'll allow us to open the toe.
Let's do that.
I wonder if the production team
can edit some sort of montage-y thing with the spring.
That sounds pretty good.
Because that sounds like a bass. So let's slap it.
Slap it.
You wanna lift up? Oh, yeah.
Slap it.
-Oh. -And now, these pulleys.
Slap it.
Engineering.
So the next is just figuring out where we're attaching the glove,
and how we're gonna attach it.
-Yeah. -How could we make that work?
-Here's an idea. Slap, it's a bass.
Take this bar and attach it.
Engineering.
-Then we can weld two metal brackets. -Slap, it's a bass.
-Put them on the bar, so they can slide. -Engineering.
Then put in the glove and attach from the side. Yeah.
What are you guys doing?
We're almost done.
I hate to be a buttinsky but this year? What are you thinking?
-We'll be done soon. -Okay.
It's finicky.
Here's how it works.
We've attached a metal tube to the top of the box that serves as a track.
These metal brackets hold the glove in place
as it slides back and forth on the track in a punching action.
Hey, Jimmy. Come here a second?
Pow!
Banzai!
Not bad.
-You heard that? He said it.
He said it's not bad, which means it's good.
All right. Now that the boxing glove
and the nose is done, we have to finish this.
We have to get the hydrodip strips on,
we gotta put the cleats in place, we have to install the laces,
finish putting the vinyl on.
I have to get on the sewing machine, start making some panda graphics.
There is still a tremendous amount to do.
Wait. So are you saying we'll work on it toe-gether?
I hate American comedy.
Let's go! Come on!
Grab the glove, Pat?
This giant waste of time
we're calling the Soccer Shoe Car is almost done.
We have some final touches to make, so it's gonna be all hands on deck.
The sooner this thing is finished, the sooner I can go home.
Derek's gonna make some giant shoelaces out of fire hose,
and of course…
More colors!
They have to be colorful.
Jackman's going to install, well, Pat.
Watch your nuts, Pat.
And Pat's going to install the glove cage.
And when he's done…
…he'll put his master woodworking skills to good use on the lathe
because we're gonna need a lever handle
that can be controlled from the driver's seat.
Making the cleats seemed like an easy enough task for Graz and Derek.
-All right. And the cleats are done. -Whoa!
But somehow, they managed to * it up.
-What color is this supposed to be? -Salmon.
It's like glittery diarrhea.
They were pink, but I don't know what happened.
Now Graz has to attach the cleats…
and the hydrodip panels.
Last but not least,
we have to panda-fy this stupid thing.
Otherwise, Izzy's gonna throw a hissy fit.
I gotta say, even though this was thought up by kids,
I think it came out great.
Yep.
-Looks just like a sneaker. -It's got a lot of "sole."
Let's go.
All right.
I think this is the best build in the whole "shoeniverse."
Oh, you're so punny.
Are you getting smaller, right here while we stand?
-Seems like you're 100 feet away. -Get your eyes checked.
All right, let's get started.
Take your positions. Let's go.
Let's get Izzy and Olivia up on the screen.
-Just try to be as careful… -Hey!
-Hello! -Hello!
Do you remember what you asked for? Tell me right now.
A Panda Paradise…
Soccer Shoe Car.
With all the colors.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
And I agreed. You know why? Because I'm a nice guy.
-No, you're not!
Fine. Are you ready to see your soccer shoe car?
Yes!
Are you ready?
Yes!
Do you guys realize I have four children over here with beards
ready to show you that car?
I can't wait any longer.
Me neither.
All right, guys. Hit it!
As you can see, we wrapped it with vinyl and leather,
just like a proper soccer shoe.
You guys asked for all the colors.
So we did this really cool hydrodipping process.
-Oh my God! -We have the beautiful laces.
They're made from fire hose recycled from the fire department down the street.
Seriously?
No. Just kidding. That's human skin.
We had the panda logo
because a giant soccer shoe on its own isn't ridiculous enough.
Yeah!
Here we have your names in gold leaf.
That's so cool!
Beautiful epoxy cleats.
Supposed to be pink,
but Derek and Graz somehow made it some kinda ugly salmon color.
Yay!
They're good. I like them.
I love them!
Are you guys ready to see what is the coolest thing about this car?
-Yes! -Yes!
All right, Jackman. Give us a demo.
What do you think this handle does if I pull on it?
I don't know.
Blows fire?
"It blows fire" is a better idea.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Do it! Three…
-Two, one… -Two, one…
Go!
What?
God!
That's so cool!
Oh my God! Oh my God!
That's gonna punch a soccer ball into next week.
I bet you wanna see this thing score some goals. Right?
-Yeah! -Yeah.
Izzy, Olivia, welcome to the World Cup of Dumb.
-USA! -USA!
Panda!
You guys ready?
Yeah!
If you're just tuning in, it's been a riveting, scoreless match
between Sleeveless United and Two Men One Shoe FC.
And now it all comes down to this.
One kick to decide it all.
One old, old referee, indeed.
-Play ball!
Or whatever they say in soccer.
Play ball!
The car is in motion, building speed.
-Come on! -Just going straight here.
Here's the kick!
They shoot! Oh!
Keeper's off his line.
-Goal! -Goal!
-Yay!
In your face!
Derek! Jimmy!
-Izzy! Olivia!
Are you happy, Izzy, Olivia?
Yeah!
Panda Paradise Soccer Shoe Car!
All right!
You're kinda grumpy for an old guy.
What are you still doing here? Get off the farm.
-Bye! -Bye.
-Bye, Izzy and Olivia. -Oh man.
Why are you always mean to the kids?
Oh!
Clean this crap up.
I'll go get you a dust pan.
Get off my farm!
Watch out!
-I don't think we're gonna make it! -Gotta go eight miles an hour.
Six! We're almost there!
Whoo!
It worked!
Why do we hang out with these guys?
Beats me.
