top makes right here on the edge of tech. I'm Nerdy J and I did not cut my hair. This is a big cut. You got a haircut, looks like it. I did, I got my hair cut, but that's not nearly as exciting as if you were to. I love Sarah Johnson. You better not have cut it too short. I love that, that's awesome. I love all the speculation around the big announcement. I mean, are we big on hype or what?  I don't know, I think it's moderately big, I don't know.  I know, I got like my mom texted me this morning, like, I saw there's a big announcement, is everything okay? Is everything, what's happening, you know? That's awesome. Just my mom totally pays attention to hot makes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  How big is it, Jim? We got 50 people watching to find out. 50 people to, wow. Well, welcome to the hot makes, where we aim to educate and entertain the maker community. Again, I didn't cut my hair. Pooch, if anyone's new today, tell me what we do here. Yeah, this, so as Jim just said, we love to educate and entertain, but we do so by taking the things that you hashtag hot makes on the Twitters, and we compile them. We wrap them all nice up in a little bow, and then we go and we review them all today, and we say, this is awesome, this is awesome. You know what, you should check this out because this is awesome too, right? That's right, I 100% agree with that, and check it out below. I had to find the bumper. But I love it, yeah, hashtag hot makes in the Twitters, and have an idea for our announcement later. I'll throw it by you in the stream. We'll see what you think, Pooch. It just popped in my head right now.  Okay, wow. I'm surprised there's a big announcement to me too then. Yeah, yeah, big announcement. Pooch doesn't even know. Don't forget if you're part of the Edge of Tech Discord channel, there is a hot makes live section, and you can post stuff in there if you want, and or you can see everything anyone's tagged hot makes anytime. Just jump in there. You can actually scroll for a long. There's so many tags you can scroll for. It's true, I've been in there. Gary's got his own fan section in there already. Yeah, what the heck is this? Gary gets a fan club and we don't. Yeah, well, that's the way it goes. When you're the AI, when you're the computer, you control, I guess, what happens. He's the gatekeeper. That's right. Well, don't forget, our episodes are sponsored by Thangs as it says below here. Actually, it's below me, it really is. But sponsored by Thangs, Thangs graciously gives us a $50 Amazon gift card to give away each week. And I tell you what, we can't thank Thangs enough. Thank Thangs, that's hard to say. Enough for the sponsorship of the show here on Hot Makes. There you go. Little salt day for Thangs. I like that. Yeah, just a little, get a little salty on it. We love Thangs. We love it. We have Thangs in the crowd in the audience today. Look, Miss Thang is there. Excellent, we got a good crowd today. Brian Vines is here. Brian got a great shout out on the 3D printing latest video, Joel's latest video. Nice work, Brian. And I still battle you and David Tobin to a hair duel. I just posted my hair picture under David's on Twitter. So if you're versed in the Twitters, you can go find it. It's under Joel's post from yesterday. Tell him, tell him, Brian to watch the episode. We're gonna get a hot locks. Hashtag or something like that. I like it, hot locks. Totally different segment of the show. We'll just start doing hair style. Epic maker hair, something like that. I guess I got racing stripes now. I mean, you know. Is that so? Okay. No. Brian says he needs to add to that. He needs to throw his hair in the running. So check out that tweet if you haven't done that already. But nice to see everybody. Almost over 100 viewers right now, which is amazing. But hey, thanks, Pooch.  And we gave away $350 gift cards to the biggest, the smallest and the one we deemed the nicest. We'll call it, you know. And they reached out to me and said, wait, we need to go bigger and we need to go smaller. And we need to step up the game. More toasters. The toasters. It's all about the torture toasters. More torture toasters. Yeah. So if you haven't seen it, you probably should just search torture toaster anywhere and you'll find it. But here's the deal. Things is giving a $100 Amazon gift card. We're bringing it back. To the largest and the smallest. If you can print it before the end of the episode. No, I'm just joking. That's it. To the largest and the smallest torture toasters that function. So, I believe the parts all have to work. Yeah, yeah. You have to see the toaster. You have to see the toaster pop. The doors have to open. Your wheels got to turn. It's gonna be tough with the tiny ones. It really isn't gonna be hard. The teeth. But I mean, we gotta be given some leeway on it because like the little tolerance teeth thing, like that doesn't count, does it? In the tiny ones, that's gonna be almost, I mean. Yeah, that'd be almost impossible. These doors, your toast needs to at least operate in your doors and your tourney dealies need to operate. Tourney dealies, doors and the toast. We'll call it. That's the technical term, the tourney dealies. Right here. Tourney dealies, yeah. Not the gears, not the gears and latch. It's the tourney dealies. The tourney dealies. Hack Monkey said, function what? No fun. So here's the deal. We're gonna give you two weeks from today to do this because the bigger ones take a while. It has to be bigger than what we saw the winner, which was Chris Cursey. I think it was 275, if I remember right, 270 or 275%. Has to be bigger than that, hopefully much bigger but has to be bigger at least than that. And it has to be small. I don't know what our smallest one that actually worked kind of was like 75%. Teased in some little baby resin ones but they weren't operable, right? So I don't know if anybody's actually made an operable resin one. Also, you didn't need a big machine to get much bigger than what, 270 or whatever that. There was an asterisk, I think it had to be 267 or something like that. Yeah, something like that. And I think the 65%, I don't know, Andrew Rogers, I think things was 75%, the one they actually printed too. So it can be any printer, as long as it's 3D printed, it can be resin, it can be FDM, it does not matter as long as the movie surfs. That would be amazing. You center it and I'm in, Ryan. The doors have to work, the gears have to work and the toast has to pop. So that's all. There is a version 1.1. I don't know if he released it to the public yet. I know on Clark Springs Patreon, he released a version 1.1 to make the little loops and the handle a little bit stronger for when you're going smaller. So something to check out, Clark Springs Torture Toaster, let's do it. 100 bucks. Thanks to things for keeping the fun rolling on that. That's awesome. There's $200 on the line right now in two weeks. That's awesome.  And I've been seeing them everywhere. My favorite posts so far, I saw this on someone randomly posted this in a Facebook group and someone commented, what is this thing? I keep seeing it everywhere. That's what we're looking for. That's what we wanna see, right? Yeah. Mars Gizmo's in the house. How you doing Mars Gizmo? Abby Maths said she saw a post where there may be a new version coming with stronger handles. Yes, the version 1.1 version is on Clark Springs Patreon right now. I don't know if he updated all the other things yet. Well, we should reach out to Sven and see if we can get that out so that people can have the latest greatest to enter the contest with. I absolutely should. Someone says am I in the falls? I don't know what that means. I hope not, because I'd be wet, but. But what else we got? So that's pretty much it. Was that the big announcement yet? That was it. I mean, that's the big announcement. No, no, no, no, that was it. We're just gonna tease it the entire time. Was that the big announcement? Was that the big announcement? Nope, nope, not yet. Wait for it. If you get one that's over 400%, I will shave my head. No, I'm just joking, I'm just joking. Mars gives, or no, Michael Grugel, Grugel.  Sorry, man.  I'm gonna leave that up to you. Hair flip there. Yeah, there you go. That was. Did you see that? It moved very slightly. It was like. Okay, I'm gonna give myself whiplash. Are you sure? I don't know how to do it. I don't think it's moving with all that aquanet. It's not aquanet. I told you, proprietary blend, 18 special seasonings and sauces and stuff. Oh, now we're off the track. All right. When are we ever on track? We're on the Brickbook. We make the track. Trying to say Monomony Falls. I think I was just giving somebody a hard time. Brayden was said, are you in the Falls? We have a city that's right south of me called Monomony Falls, so. Did you get a deal on hair gel? I was trying to do dramatic like. Don't hurt yourself. Don't hurt yourself. Turn and flip. Common empire, I'm sorry you missed the big announcement, but maybe next week you'll catch it. Oh, you guys missed it. Whoever came late, you missed the big announcement. Maybe there'll be another one next time. Too funny, too funny. Well anyways, thank you so much to things. Another big contest coming in two weeks. Don't forget, we're gonna start pumping it out on the socials. But in two weeks, the biggest and the smallest functioning toaster is $100 a piece on those. So I can't wait. This could be Abby Maff's chance for redemption here. Because she was this close, right? On the last one. She was. This is your shot, Abby. Don't let us down. Cyberdeck Cafe says it only works if you have the locks. Your hair flip, yeah. Otherwise, it just looks like you're trying to dodge a mosquito, maybe. Dodging? For those of you listening on the podcast, it was amazing, Pooch was flipping his head like he had hair and it wasn't, yeah. I do have hair. What are you talking about? That's true, just longer, longer.  Do you still have a painting? Did I just date myself? I think they do. I believe if you are listening on the podcast, you have to go back to 12 minutes and 30 seconds and watch Pooch describe that with his hand motion. Well, listen for the whoosh. Listen very closely for the whoosh. Yeah, yeah. Because our audio equipment is that good. Yeah, of course. I mean, only top of the line for hot makes. Let's see, two weeks are not long enough for a print larger than 200%. Somebody did the math. Well, if you're pretty slow. I did 125% in four days. So, I mean, let's see. So we're not saying that you print slow, but you print slow if you can't get it done in two weeks. I don't know, what did I do? No, I don't know. It's a fair point. I did 200 and 25% is what I did. It's a good amount of plastic, too. I don't even know where I put it. It's around here somewhere. Anyway, how much plastic was it? It's about, it's almost a full roll. I think the 275 was almost a complete full roll. Mine was like a little over two thirds of a roll, for sure. Yeah. And that was at 0.2 layers, too. Wow. 100% no infill. Hey, do it. All right, well, what else do we have to talk about besides toasters today? Besides to, well, can we do an announcement? It's early. Are we on our way to the end? I don't know. Is it a big announcement or just a announcement? The big announcement. I feel like we're talking this up so much, and I'm like, is it really that big? All right, well, let's just tell them. You tell them, Jim, tell them. What's the announcement? The big announcement is? We're just making it up to you all here. We're just curing today. We don't have our sound effects. We're really, we're going old school. An awesome thing is going to happen. We have been talking behind the scenes, and we are going to actually take hot makes. It's grown up. It's no longer a little baby anymore that Pooch and I raised like our own. Is it time? It's time to leave the nest per se. Where's hot makes going? Hot makes is going to its own channel, its own socials, its own everything. It's going to be hot makes. I was hoping you were going to say we're going to like Fiji or something, but you know, our own channel is good too. You know, we're going to Vegas, baby. Hot makes Vegas. Woo! Hey, we could go to Vegas. We're going to be 9 p.m. on CBS now. No, yeah, we're taking hot makes, and we are going to put it on a new channel. And all of the hot, or all of the social medias are starting to change over. You probably saw Twitter, where there's a hot makes live account. I think there's Instagram and Facebook. There's a hot makes page now on Facebook. And we are going to turn this into our own little community ecosystem thing. And we're going to have a lot of fun with that. So what do you think in the chat? Is that awesome or what? I mean, it's kind of lived here and pooch before here had community ketchup. And you know, we kind of all mashed them together. And I think it's time to, you know. To leave the nest, to leave the shelter that is the edge of tech and it has become its own thing. But where we need your guys help is that basically makes us start from square one again, right? And so we need to build up the following so that we can still have all of your guys awesome super chat donations and contributions so that we can bring you guys awesome giveaways and all that stuff. But that's going to be an interesting challenge, right?  What do you think? No, I think it's awesome. We have such an awesome community that, you know, I think everybody's going to have a lot of fun. We're going to have some fun giveaways on the channel. I mean, we're just going to keep that going. The only difference is we lose the monetization like pooch would say. We have to start completely over. Mars Gizbo, thank you so much. Excellent news. We definitely get a ticket to see Hot Makes in Vegas. Hot Makes on Ice. We sold a ticket. We sold a ticket. Live! That's awesome. Thank you, Mars Gizbo. We appreciate that. 10 euros. What, you know, from an amazingly huge YouTube channel to be, now we're just like a little baby again, but we're going to grow. We're going to grow fast.  So like, we need to do like a big, we're going to have to put our heads together, Jim. We're going to have to come up with like more big promos, more big reasons to get everybody excited. Maybe we need to do another one of our giveaway extravaganza episode. I don't know. We'll come up with something, I'm sure. Just to clarify, Edgy Tech is staying around. We're not, I'm not going anywhere. We're going to still do videos. We're going to still do live stuff and everything. Just this show here, Hot Makes is going to start and is going to start being on its own channel, which is so cool. It's going to be so awesome. So Edgy Tech isn't going anywhere.  No, I don't. But Hot Makes does. That's not what we're doing. Yeah, that's not what we're doing. They'll be magicians, if you want. The can, can lines, the kick lines and feathers. All of that in our Vegas show. Yeah, they'll be there. Geary in human form? That might be interesting. Yeah. Hey, hey. It's probably like the most, Geary is actually like the most unexciting computer you'd ever seen.  So maybe, maybe we'll get Geary a new case or something. Someone says Geary is a cat. He's not a cat. He said that a couple of times, I think. He claims that. But what's awesome is right now, if you go to HotMakes.com, it is redirecting to the edge of tech, but soon it'll redirect to its new home, which is going to be awesome. Also, you can find us now at the edge of, no, at HotMakes Live, almost at the edge of tech, at HotMakes Live on Twitter, Instagram and what else? We got Facebooks. We got the Facebooks. There's a HotMakes page there now. And what I'm gonna do, maybe. What else? Like, do we have a, do we have a MySpace page? We could. You know, maybe someone's still on there. There's a couple of people still on MySpace, I think, yeah. Uncle Jesse's in the house. He just had a short blow up, which is amazing. Nice, congratulations on that. He had his shorts blow up? Yeah, his shorts completely, wait, wait. Is that why he's saying boop, boop, boop? What is going on? Right.  Uncle Jesse still has MySpace. Well, he'll be our lone subscriber on MySpace or however that. Clayton, check us out on MySpace. It's gonna be amazing. Geary's gonna start in OnlyFans, yeah. All kinds of big announcements. I love the speculation. We're just rambling today. Well, I don't know, man. I feel like we need to get back to our roots, you know, in celebration. Like we did our announcement, we've been talking, but I'm eager to see some cool stuff, Jim. Let's do it. I think we should do some HotMakes as well. So we'll get more links out there as we progress through the night, but we appreciate it. If you guys jump in there, follow us when we announce the YouTube channel. Please subscribe there. We'll push more of that next week. And yeah, but I think we have some HotMakes coming. What do you think? I get, let's give the people what they came for, my friend. Ah, I'm gonna put my blacksmithing leathers on and just start forging. CJ Beck, Deadpool, printed on the MM, I'm sorry, Prusa3D with an MMU2-E with Jesse PLA. Love the Jesse PLA. Look at the colors on that, Jim. Yeah, that is awesome. That is something right there. Go ahead and start us off strong today, CJ. There you go, look at that. Look at that. Oh, yeah. I absolutely, like you said, the colors are awesome. The color changes. I mean, amazing. Clean, man. Nice work. Yeah, definitely dialed in at MMU2. Yeah. I'd love to see the back of it. I don't think you showed a picture of the back of it, but oh, look at this. There it goes. That's a nice looking time-lapse. Doesn't do justice to the colors, looking a little flat with the lighting there, but man, that's a fun time-lapse right there. Yeah, and it's a really clean print for. I love it. It looks so effortless, right? Look at that. MMU2. That's cheesecake. Color change, ding-dang. Yep, done. Nice work, CJ Beck. First top makes of the night, and man, that's phenomenal. Nice work. It's a heck of a Purge Tower on that thing, too. Look at that, huh? Yes. Definitely. What's weird is, to me, how come the Purge Tower is not similar colors? See that? I don't know if it's a lighting thing or what. Sometimes the Purge Tower, because it's Purge, is that melding of the black and the red, and you're getting that terracotta look or whatever, but yeah, it looks like you got some pink in there as it goes from white to red, and it's the nature of the base. Nice work. All right, what have we got next year? Yeah, tell us in the chat, if you're doing MMUs, are you getting results that are that clean?   We're just seeing more and more awesome multi-material printing, and it just does so much to add depth to a model, right? We love the models that we've got, but just having just a couple different color changes, like what it does for the dimension, when you show that to somebody, they're like, wait, well, this is 3D printed. Right. I can't wait. I have a pallet 2S, I think, and it's right there. I'm working on the garage this week, and I'm clearing out a spot for my rep box, my pallet, and a printer, and it's going to be awesome. That's awesome. Didn't Mosaic send you that to test it out? And then you, because I know you have a 3, a pallet 3 on order, right? Yeah, I ordered the 3 Pro from your website. Thank you so much. And I'm super excited about that, and I was tweeting, and I did a video just kind of talking about the pallet 3 Pro as well, and I talked to Mosaic, and they said, hey, you have a pallet 2S, do you want to try it? Can we try it? And then I'll do a comparison video when I get the 3 Pro. It'll be really fun. I'm really excited about that. I've never done, with the exception of changing the layers myself or in the G code, I've never done something like that, yes. I'm really excited. This is going to be your foray into multi-material, man, and you're never going to want to look back, you're just going to want to like, MMU all the things, right? Or, you know, multi, I don't know. MMU at all. Well, just got to say, what printer? What printer, you know? Have an eight colors available? I mean, like what that does, it's funny because it's like, it feels like we're going backwards in the world, like, oh, it's like eight bit color now, up from, I don't know, like monochrome, or, but it's like, where are we going to be like five years from now, or like, oh, we got 256 colors to work with. Great, well, here's the teaser. I'm not sure if Andrew is watching, or he might be sleeping, I'm not sure, but here's a teaser of something that's coming. Ooh, ooh, what is this? Your vinyl album you're releasing? Get in, if you're going to show us, you got to get in close on us. It's, there it is. There we go. Ooh, it's the nerdy J-Portraiture. It does have a topography, you know, it's raised. Yes. And that's, yeah. Well, that's fun. I'm pretty excited. I'm pretty excited about that one.  There's another one I need to clean this up. I mean, that's going to be very similar, except for this at the beginnings of it. Peek, peek through the bit, oh, the D, there he is. I see you. Peek it through the D, huh? All right. And then, yeah, so, and these were, they're a lot of fun to play with. And we'll give you one more sneak peek, Pooch. You ready? So many sneak peeks, Jim. Ah, that's fun. Who doesn't want that on their wall, right? I don't want to spoil it all. I don't want to spoil it all. I love it. I love it. Yes, yeah. So Andrew, as he, he's like, hey, I got it, I got something. You want to check this out? I was like, yeah, definitely want to check that. Yeah, I want to check that out.  I have a video coming probably maybe next week and it's going to feature some of this stuff. So I'm pretty excited about that. So everybody in the chat, Pooch Rants, make that a good, that'd make a good tattoo. A good tattoo for who? Yeah, sure. Just right on my back. Caleb, remember Caleb from, he used to work at Seaman. Yeah, he's got a, he's got like a barnacles. He does barnacles and C-M-C-N-C and I think he's got to get one more. Sounds. Right, why not? All right. Murph. All right. Anyways, next, Breaks and Makes, our friend, Joe. Breaks and Makes. He did the TRI-AXL Turbillion. Turbillion? I don't know. That's my terrible French. He's got to get 3,000 likes on this video. He'd make a second one in Semblot Live on Twitch and you'll update and say, and print the third one to give away during that stream. Check this. Pretty sure he blew that out of the water. I thought I saw an update today that said it just got picked up and just got tons and tons of views. I mean, look at that thing. Yes. Let me get in a little bit closer. I don't know. I can't get any closer. We can probably do that. I love it. I just, I want, there's no video of it on this, is there? There's stills, but like, I don't know if any of you guys are into like, watch escapements and clockwork gears and stuff like that. Just like so satisfying watching things like this work and what a neat application of 3D printing, right? Where you can have something like this and, I mean, you can go check out Noob's, I'm sorry, Breaks and Makes videos, formerly known as 3D Maker Noob on the whole thing, tons of pieces and parts. I think 200 or something, he was showing me a couple weeks ago, he had like laid out every little piece that he had to make for this thing. Yeah, in the video he did that. It was really cool. The way he shot it, they were all laid out and it was cool. Oh man. Got the print list. So nice work on that. Just for argument's sake. Let's go see it. Just give it a quick like. Try Axel. 2.2. 2.2,000 likes right now. Not quite, not quite three. Oh, he doesn't have the likes yet. I was thinking views though. He's got a ton of views on it, doesn't he? Where are we at here? Yeah, almost 35,000 views, which is phenomenal, but the likes we need about. Give him more. Give him more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So if you're watching this, jump on this. I'm gonna, I'll post this right now in the chat. There we go. And don't forget in the description of the video, there's a Google Doc. You can go there and see all the stuff we're gonna show today, plus more that we didn't get to. All of the links are in that Google Doc for tonight, for today's show. Let's see. That's a fun one. All right, what do we got next? Jasper Slott, today printed the torture toaster. There we go. Solid hand, solid hand. 40% scale. Okay, 40%, 40%. And we're getting toast? Oh, we lost the handle though. A common, which is what led to the 1.1 release, right? It toasted though. It toasted. It did toast. Yeah, and it looks like these work. According to our new guidelines, this could have been a contender. The gears worked and it toasted before the handle broke. The tourney thingies, the twisty thingies? Yeah, the tourney thingies. Tourney dealies? And that's 40%. This is gonna be pretty tough at 40%. You can see their fuses. They look like they're just welded together. Like, is that just one continuous layer over at the point one at point two? It probably is. It's gonna be a rough clearance, or tolerance for 40%. But nice work there. Yeah, phenomenal job, Jasper. Get one into us in two weeks that flipped still. And you could definitely be in the running a 40%. David Wilson, he gave it five failures and then he gave up. Oh, well, hey, you know what? David, here's your chance for redemption. Demption. Hone your craft, my friend. Dial in your future. You can do it, David. Get yourself a good toaster while you're at it. It's a multi-function. What do we got here? Is it Tariq? Yeah. Finally got my Batmobile STL up for sale. Check this out. You ready?  Come on. Didn't like that, did it? Hmm. That's not. No, no, it did not. Reboot, refresh. There we go. Refresh. There we go. I guess I'm not blowing it up to full screen, but check this out. Ooh. So good. That's all. Did you see the little canopies? Like slides forward? Yes. And this is one of my favorite Batmobiles. So what's your favorite Batmobile? Oh, don't make me pick. I mean, like, I don't know. So this is, is this like, like 90s, early, like, like I don't know how to, how to actually like reference them. I'm just thinking. This is like Michael Keaton. Jack Nicholson Batman, right? Yeah. Yeah. The OG, someone said. Oh, the canopy works. Well, like the OG would be like the, the like old TV series, I wouldn't imagine. Right? Right. There you go. I love the just exposed turbine. Like that thing would just be sucking birds in as it's driving along. I always wanted one. I, oh, this is my favorite. What was that? You've always wanted a Batmobile? I always have one. I had a chance once to buy one of the originals from the, you know, one of the original replicas flames out the back, all of it. The whole business, someone was trying to sell. And I was like, I could travel the U.S. with a Batmobile on a trailer and go to events. This is my dream. This is my dream. And that got to Kibosh. Yeah, we bought it out. Did Lindsay put the Kibosh on that? Or was it a? You know, not really. She was like, man, that could be really cool. Because they make a lot. I mean, they go, you park for free at Comic-Cons because they can advertise that you're there. And then you get 25 bucks a picture to sit in it. The pace for itself. So exactly. So yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm in, but I didn't have the $115,000 that they needed. So. $115, huh? And that was the trailer. I would have thought of the park. The park that you can park. Any, you park for free when you have a Batmobile? I mean, is that generally true? At the Comic-Cons, you do. At least the Comic-Cons. Yeah, and then, you know, you get paid to go to car shows, weddings, there's like this whole huge business around replica cars like this. And, you know, I would have loved to do it. And I have a good friend named Johnny Greene, who if you watch the original Batman series, the very original, you ever see. The Adam West. Exactly. So if you ever see the green men, Johnny Greene and the green men, it was like the villains in a bunch of the episodes. And they did the original Batmobile, the Den-en-en-en-en-en-en-en, they played that too. But a good friend of the family. And so he knew Adam West up until Adam West passed away. And it would have been awesome to have him like sign it and, you know, that kind of thing. Who knows? There's still time, Jim. You never know. You still may realize your dream. Tristan needs a Batmobile. I love it. Anyway, awesome work to read. Hopefully people have been hitting you up again, buying your model and printing it out. It looks awesome. I love that it's got operable parts and stuff like that. So, very cool. Ethan's dead, so you put something like that on your credit card. Here we go. Let's see. It was like a high limit there, Ethan's dad. Yeah, yeah. Kathy O'Malley. The Mariner Vase by Clark Spring is one thing of beauty. I printed this in clear, but I haven't posted that yet, I forgot. But this is a gorgeous vase.  But the cool thing about this vase, have you seen this yet? Yeah, yeah. This is one of his latest releases on his Patreon, right? Yeah, and so if you see this, there's like a more solid lines here, and then between each one is like a single extrusion. So it gives it the kind of the illusion that it's thin, very, very thin right here, which it is, right? But it's really cool when you get light in there, how it kind of lights up. Well, yeah, the texture of these guys, and it looks like almost like there's an octopus trapped inside with its tentacles. There you go. I never thought of it like that, but that's perfect, an octopus trapped inside. There you go, there's an inside shot. So you can see it's a little thicker here, and then you get that real thin extrusion between, and it's such a cool transparent film. Your tentacles are showing good. Yeah. Ace Ventura. What do we got next? By the way, Kathy O'Malley, nice work. That's an awesome print right there. Love it. Someone says we need to check out the history of Batmobile on YouTube. I need to do that, yes. One of my son is 11 months old, gonna be 12 months soon, and his favorite book right now is called Bedtime for Batman. Sweet. Yeah, it's awesome. Boutisk Cyberdeck Cafe is joining us right now. Made a thing, it shall be known as the... The Kweeb. Kweeb, we'll call it the Kweeb. There you go, look at that. What is it? What does it do? We love Joe, we've had him on, and we've been on the Cyberdeck... Yeah, Cyberdeck. What was it called a couple of months ago? The first annual Cyber Get Together was a virtual, everybody's shown off the Cyberdeck, so it's awesome. I think it was the second one. It was Cyberdeck Cafe, yeah. Second annual, my bad, sorry about that. It was the first one I was at, so it's my first, my first. So there's a controller, a rotary with a switch, a Cherry MX. Black. Printed case, USB-C detachable cable, and if you build your own, he'll be here if you're ready. So...  I know he's with us. Let us know, I'm assuming it's this whole thing, or just this little guy? I was thinking it was just that little piece down there, and it reminds me of something you might use for editing where you can program the hotkeys, and you have little... That's just kind of like... I'm sure it's programmable to do whatever you would like it to, but maybe that's just my assumption. I think you're 100% right. It's just that all of the keyboards in the shot here are throwing me off. I know. Gary, he definitely loves this, his favorite book right now. Thank you for that. Let's see, what else we got? Brendan! Brendan builds. Simply time. It was streamed live on Twitch and YouTube. Blaze. Is that by... Yeah, there you go. Yeah, Chelsea. Is it technically from KS Cortec then, or just? Well, you know, the pairing, but Chelsea's been doing a lot of modeling and stuff on her own, and obviously they do a lot of things together as well, but this is... I love the filament choices on them. First of all, awesome model as always from Chelsea. She's just constantly cranking them out. We talk about people that are prolific in terms of their ability to just create amazing output constantly. I think of the clock springs, the Lubies, and Chelsea's definitely on that list too. I don't know, it'll probably be shown in a later one too. There was one with StayPuff that I was really getting a kick out of. Yes. I love, yes. The little minis? Yeah. Look at this filament though. Look at the color choices here. I love this little baby, this whole model. Look at the underbelly, you know? Rural Raptor is with us today too. Welcome. I know it's gotta be late where you are. It looks like 12, 40 a.m., I think is what they said, but I love the color choices. That's one thing that I'm gonna have to get so much better on playing with the palette is that I need to figure out good color choices, right? That's like half the battle. Once you get it printing, then if you don't have good color choices, I could probably destroy some prints. I mean, it really is. You need to have kind of a deep filament library, obviously, so that there's an art just in doing your pairings and stuff like that. You see stuff coming out for like filament frenzy and whatnot. And I think the reason he gets like kind of the result that he does is just got a massive library of filament options. And then just, it's really awesome filament just to begin with too, like all the silks and the, you know, the shiniest and the shiny. And this looks like filamentum, wizards voodoo, vertigo gray and gold happens and crystal clear PLA. That's awesome, 190 millimeters tall. Where's the clear? Is it in like the eyeball or the? Yeah, it must be in the eyes here. Yep. And I was going to say in the wings, but it looks like the wings is some of that vertigo. Oh, you know what, the tongue here? Oh, the tongue, yeah. And in the eyes. Yeah, very nice. That's awesome. Very good job. I mean, Brendan builds another awesome multi-color print today. Yeah, and the tool changer, you know, is really neat. You know, speaking of filament frenzy, he's been doing a lot of work on his tool changer and stuff lately. And obviously having the ability to print nice solid multi-color with a lot less waste going to like purge block and stuff is really neat. So I look forward to seeing some more tool changing stuff out there as more and more people get a hold of those systems. She's on top of like all the current stuff, isn't she? Yeah, she said, no, that's what I think she'll specialties. And I think it's great because it's like you kind of ride the wave of the memes and stuff that's going on. But yeah, do you want to just point it out? Like the dodge coin dog, does he have a name? Is it just dodge, doge? I don't know. But anyway, she just did a model of that. It was super cute, obviously, and timely. It's on things right now, if you go check it out. It is dodge, I guess, so there you go. Dodge the dog. Here you go, now this one was for you. I picked this one out just for you today. You love the practical stuff. I do love practical stuff. This is a magnetic paper roll holder for the large blue rolls of paper towels, you know? Yeah, I got the shop towels. Ooh. So there's magnets in the end here. Okay. Both sides. Okay, I'm intrigued. Go on. And it pops up in there. And there you go. Now you have your paper towel holder. So, wow. It's awesome. It is awesome, but I'm curious. Like, I don't fully understand the mechanics of it. Is it like maglev? Is it actually like suspended in there using magnetic levitation? It didn't look like anything was going into the arbor. Oh, no, let's see. So I see. He's beating on it. Okay, took it off. There you go. So the piece that sits in the paper towel here is magnetic. Yeah. And it must stick magnetized to this side. And then I'm assuming this just sits still and the paper towels roll around it. So, Oji, you think the spool is actually moving on that insert? Yeah, yeah. I was thinking those hubs that he's pressing.  I was assuming that the magnets were rolling. Because if you catch this look right there, you can see where the other side of the magnets, right, the opposite side of the magnets sit. So I bet you that, I guess, I don't know. I think, let us know in the chat what you think. I think it sits still and the paper towel just rolls around it. It's very cool no matter what, but I want to understand this better. So maybe I need to get this, is there a link to the model? Can I see? Yeah, yes. I think on his... Magnetic hub, arm, hub-centered a wall, blue roll, paper towel. It's a squirrel brain, by the way. I'll follow that. Squirrel brain, good name. Here you go. Oh, it was more deep. This is a magnetic paper towel holder for the large blue rolls. This is kind of, here we go. This is how it works. So there's the CAD drawings. Same thing I was saying. So the magnets sit here and they must go in here. It's rolling on the magnets. Magnets provide resistance. I think that to me suggests that it's indexed. See how they're spaced around? So it's almost like, I would think it would be like indexing around to the next magnet. I see what you're saying. I, oh man. Now I need to know, let's see. That seems like it wouldn't work, right? I mean, am I alone in that? Like, but apparently... So because originally I was thinking like, I know you can create like, magnetic level of attention things, but that would require a few... There you go. This is awesome. It's three magnets. Now I need to know. I'm gonna have to, am I at the contact this person? I'm fascinated by this. I need my, yeah, see, because you see how there's a little bit of play in there? Yeah, I see that. And it seems like...  I need to know. And now I'm... What wizardry is this? No. So I don't see it. I think what we need to do is somebody reach out to Squirrel Brain, or I will, we can tweet them and say, how does this work? That is, it's awesome. Let us know in the chat. Hot or not, my suggestion, my vote is hot. I love it. Your vote is always hot. Of course, we don't waste our time on things that aren't hot here, do we? It just, it rolls so smoothly. I just can't see it. I can't see it good enough to know if this part's moving. Yeah. So good. All right. Super hot, magnetic hot. You better tweet about it. See, when you wax it like that, I'll the whole thing kind of... Yeah, yeah, right. Builders Mark says, I may have to print one and find out for myself, right? I do too. Congratulations. You have something that's super hot, Squirrel Brain and we don't know how it works. All right. Oh, another great one here. Consider this one ready. We're just gonna leave it right here from the feet. Right? This one's like... What are you leaving us, Scree? What are you leaving us? I'll get out of here. Ooh. There we go. Throne of Tamesis. Tamesis. Tamesis. I don't, I'm not sure. Should I, I'm not, I don't know what that's from. What is it? What is that from, guys? Now I'm gonna get yelled at for not knowing what this is. Yeah, let us know in the chat opposing magnets. Everybody can see it. Holy smokes. Look at the paint job on this one. Very awesome. I mean, there's a lot going on, but I mean, the throne is there, but then there's this whole menagerie around it. And then there's that guy who's just like. He's like, hey, you, what you looking at? I don't apologize everybody. I don't know what this is. Someone will tell us hopefully in the chat, but super cool though. It's a heck of a scene, man. And I mean, like he's, I think about how many hours he's gotta have and doing all those characters and, I mean, in true graffiti style, right? Yeah, it looks like it was sculpted by my friend, Clay at Claydemon. Yes, no, that was not printed on FDM. No, those are most certainly some resin prints. Yeah, but we see now how it looks like, yeah. Awesome. All right, next. Oh my, this might be my pick of the week. Max finally shows off the printed sword from the sole, the sole edge. He's been killing it with this. Yeah, look at that. So good. And that is a heck of a piece. Now he needs a thing to mount it on his wall or how do you display such things? That's amazing. Nice work, Max. That's a great question. How do you display it? I know that you just constantly walk around with that. That's how you display it. You just stand around with it. You just walk, yeah, just put it right on your back and just take a stroll off the Walmart. Just taking the sword for a walk. He actually said that this one needed a friend and he printed another one, a different sword though. And it's just got printed, it's not finished yet. So we'll feature that next week, I think. Companion, a companion sword, I like it. Companion sword. Man, this is phenomenal print though. Nice job, Max. Great, the finishing came out great too. Oh man, of course. Nice work. It was fun watching that whole process too. We got to see him, he did it in quarters and so he'd do like a section at a time and then, man. Breaks, and another one from Joe here. True, from Joe this week? What? He must have slipped you a little something to give him a double high. This one was actually tagged a bunch and man, I don't know how you say this. Jorma Gander. Yeah, that, by Photosmith. But he's just, his paint is killing it. That's insane, man. Joe is a man of many talents and I think his airbrushing and his painting is underrated. I don't think a lot of people know him as a painter but he has quite the paint set up. I mean. Yeah. No, it's just. So good. That's, I think a lot of people find, and maybe, you know, I wonder, this is probably, COVID has probably been a good time for people to refine their craft, you know? Like I think that a lot of people get a lot of soothing, you know, calming effect to like just sitting down and, you know, working on something like this and spending, you know, the time. I've seen just some really, really epic prints, paints specifically from a lot of, a lot of familiar people and a lot of new people too. So, you know, I love it. They were saying, oh yeah, that's right. He's, he's streamed this. He was tweeting about that. He's streamed this on Twitch when he was painting this.  All right, we got one more and then we gotta give away. So stay tuned for that. Abby Brown, I love 3D printing. I love, I love with 3D printing that even if I didn't design the original model, I can still add my own artistic flair to the final print for personalization and fun. Look at this. That's right. It's like a little, It's a little unethical calendar, right? Yeah. This would be a great, great use for like, modifiers on, if you ever get into, in Prusa Slicer, there's all kinds of really neat modifiers you can do to get all your different exposed infills and stuff like that and creates just same model. It lets you take the same model like Abby's saying and then add new dimensions to it and stuff too. So I don't know, I don't know what her tweaks were necessarily but I agree that you don't necessarily have to be a designer to add something new to add dimension to a model. Yeah, I'm gonna have to, it looks like she said, P.S. another fun aspect of this project is I printed it using single extrusion base, dual extrusion on the tags and duplication mode with the rings, all with the same printer. Neat. So good. Yeah. That's awesome. And it looks like the original Galaxy Black and White is for my classroom. She took it home to keep track of the dates. Family loved it though she printed another one. So cool. I like that one. That's my high school colors over there, the maroon and gold. That's awesome. Cupertino high school. Home of the fighting pioneers. Good job, Abby. The fighting pioneers love ya. That is, oh, she's with us, cool. This model was single model for the tags. I set up processes to do the digits and letters in a separate color. Very cool. Nice. So cool. Nice work everybody on the HotMakes. Good round to HotMakes yet again, Jim. Phenomenal. People keep on coming with the hotness. If you see something out there in the world, tag it, put it on Twitter with the hashtag HotMakes and maybe, just maybe, we'll talk about it on a future episode. I hope so. So if we did not show your thing yet, we will do our best to get to everything. We are getting like a ton, which is amazing and there's so much good stuff. We need like a four hour show to show it all. Our editorial team strives like endless, just slaving away, going through all the tags, removing this, you know, and it's hard. And so we appreciate all the submissions, but we do have to be selective sometimes. Sometimes. And maybe soon, we'll do like an all HotMakes all show and we'll do even more. We should do that one of these times. HotMakes, nothing but the makes. Nothing but the makes. So hey, real quick, if you have not entered to get that $50 gift card from Amazon, this is your last advance. I just posted the doc again. You have to enter there. There's 124 people entered right now. 155 people currently watching. And you know, this is your chance to jump in. So if you haven't done that yet, do it. We're gonna do the drawing very quick here. What do you think? They're aiding you on for a rant. Oh, I got a good one. You got a good one? A bad one. I don't know. Let's rant. All right. Ah! Who's rant?  This is actually a guest rant technically. This was brought to my attention by my girlfriend and it was so frustrating in its, just the fact that it exists that I just, I had to talk about it. I said like, you gotta let me talk about this. She said, okay, that's fine. But here's what happened. So my rant is about the state of, and we've kind of talked on layers of this in the past, but the state of customer service in the world today. And this one in particular has to do with Instacart. Who out there tell me in the chat if you've used Instacart before. I for the longest time have not lived in an area that Instacart had serviced, but recently they came to our area. And so girlfriend puts in an order for Instacart, no problem, order arrives, that's fine. And when she goes out to pick it up outside, she notices a wallet just laying on the ground next to the order. And so of course she, you know, looks at it and the name and the ID matches the name of the guy that delivered the Instacart. And so she did what anybody I would hope would do. And took all the cash out and kept, no, I'm just kidding. So she did what anybody would do. She gets in touch with Instagram and says, hey, my shopper accidentally dropped their wallet. Can you please let him know to come get their wallet? To which, you know, we're speculating. We don't know if it was a bot that responded or what, but the first response was, it was of course like some default boilerplate where it was like, we're so sorry about the inconvenience that this wallet, like we're just like repeated with the shoe row, this wallet being left around his left. Please return the wallet to the store that you ordered the stuff from. It's like, wait a minute, the whole part of doing Instacart is I don't want to go to the store. I ordered Instacart because I want it brought to me. I don't want, I'm not taking this wallet back to the store. It's like, no, can you just tell the shopper again, like writes back to the email thing. And the response she gets the next time is, we're sorry that you don't want to take it back to the store. In that case, we suggest that you donate it to something. You what, donate this guy's wallet because you can't touch with it. Like they're like for security purposes, we're not allowed to tell them where you live and get in touch with it. Like this makes no sense. The guy obviously knows where we live because he's brought to order. Like what is going on here? And so, okay, stop, let's take a different approach. Finally, like goes in, like does the online chat and again has a weird experience, but finally like gets through to somebody and that gets it. And it says like, okay, I guess I'll let the person know but the level of details or the level of effort they had to get to to just like get this guy to come back and get his wallet was insane. And it had us both scratching our heads like what is going on in the world today where am I even interacting with a human that understands or is this like an AI is it a bot that's just submitting this it blows the mind. So end of the story is the dude came back also brought flowers for getting his wallet back was very appreciative. But man, what a weird, weird system. I, that is crazy. I don't, I never heard of that. And I could only imagine, you know on both sides of the frustration. Like all I want to do is, they suggested donating the guy's wallet, Jim. Like just, if you're not going to take it back to the store, just donate it to somebody, you know?  Yeah, I 100% agree. Do the right thing. But it's super hard to do the right thing. If you have something telling you not to. Well, and I don't know if you've ever, you know people like will leave their stuff in like an Uber sometimes and it's really hard sometimes to get back and I don't know if that's gotten any better but I know we had a situation and a couple probably a year back where something got left in a car and just getting in touch with Uber and trying to figure out how to like communicate with that driver after the fact was like, they made it seem like it was an impossibility and you're like, you put me in touch with this person in the first place. Go for it. Was it Geary giving the responses? If they were sarcastic, maybe. So here's the question. Someone said, what's Instacart? Oh my gosh, you guys don't know what Instacart. So Instacart's one of those services, you know we talk about Uber or whatever but it's a service where you can get online and you basically want to put in order at a grocery store. I think there's a number of stores now that you can pick from and they will go out and do personal shopping for you and pick up stuff at the store and deliver for you. So a lot of stores now offer delivery services on their own but Instacart kind of injected themselves early on as a third party service for delivering grocery service and I believe they'll do other pickups now as well. I don't know, have you ever used Instacart, Jim? I haven't used Instacart but we do, we've have a place out here called Myer. I don't know if you guys have Myers out there but it's like a kind of like, I don't know better version of Walmart, I don't know someone's gonna yell at me in the chat for that but long story short, they have that and for a long time they had like their, they had only personal shoppers that you would choose and they would do it for you but now Myer has taken that over so you just order everything online to an app and then they get it all for you but yeah, we have that in a couple of places and then we had one time where they just dropped it off at our door, which was really cool and then we, if we do it normally we just drive, you pop the trunk, they throw it all in the trunk and then you're out, I mean that's it. So it just, it find it interesting because it's like, it's supposed to be this modern convenience and a lot of people are like, wow, what is, excuse me, one of the things that, allergies don't get me started, what does this world come to that we can't even do our own grocery shopping anymore but it's a, you know, it's a convenience thing and but it is really strange that the way, there are like layers of the whole system, right? And so there's the part that, you know, puts the human, you know, because these are all third party like Instacart shoppers are like Uber drivers, right? It's like you can sign up for Instacart to go shop for somebody, but there are no real Instacart employees that aren't, you know working at the corporate marketing space and then, but then all the customer service side of it is obviously farmed out and it was, it was definitely like overseas and stuff and there was, I don't wanna say language barriers and stuff, but there was definitely like something lost in communication and you just, you would hope for a little bit better and we still have yet to nail that obviously. It seems like we're getting worse, right? As customer service is farmed out. Yeah, yeah, sometimes it definitely seems like we're getting worse. Tyler West, he's up in Alaska because I'm in the middle of- Don't have it start up in Alaska? That's sweet. They deliver by elk and caribou up there, you know. It's a sled team. I love it. All right, it's time to give some stuff away. You ready? I wanna spin the wheel. Put me up, put me up next to the side and I'll do, wait, I gotta get this one. Let's see, let me get it closer to you. Okay, okay. I don't know what's gonna be again, right here. All right, I'll reach in. I got it. We need to see the whole wheel, don't we? There we go. No, my arms aren't holding. All right, let me paste it in. What do we got? 144 names tonight. Are we spinning this way? Are we spinning up or down? You would be up. Okay, I'm ready. One, two, three, go, go. Oh, nice spin. Yeah. Thank you. Vanna White. I used my arms. Who's gonna win the $50 from things today? Shane, congratulations. Your name is Shane. What Shane is it? Is it same old Shane or regular Shane? It's Shane. Extra crispy Shane. It could be. Shane, if you're here, so we can get you your $50 gift card. Thanks to things for Amazon. Anywhere Amazon. He said woo. All right. It's me, a Shane. Congrats, Shane. Congratulations, Shane. He's here. Thank you so much. Shane is getting 50 bucks for Amazon, from things. Remember, two weeks from now, two weeks, you have to print the biggest and the smallest torture toasters and things is gonna give us $100 gift cards each for the winners of that. Tag us, hashtag HotMakes on Twitter. And don't forget the tag, hashtag torture toaster as well, so we know it's a torture toaster. Who's going small? I still have yet to see a good resin one, I think. You know, I think we've seen a couple really tiny ones, but they definitely didn't work, right? I don't think we've seen a functioning resin one. No, I don't know. I don't know, maybe now. Maybe now, apparently we've got a sweet in the deal. Sweeten it up. Just when you thought you were done with torture toasters, we bring it back, well, thanks brings it back. Bring it back, I love it. Keep it going, that's all I got to say. But, I mean, another great episode, if you're new here, don't forget, you can find us on the Twitter's hashtag HotMakes. You can find us on Discord now, and the Discord is, I think I posted it earlier, but it is discord.edgetech.com, I believe. You can find it in the description of this video, and we're done, I'll make sure it's in there. And also- I'll go ahead, there's some times, I was there, I was on the Discord. You were, it was awesome. There's people in there talking about the HotMakes and 3D printing and lasers, and the cool thing about the HotMakes section, go in there, everything that's tagged HotMakes on Twitter gets pushed into the Discord, and then from there, you can just scroll through and see all the cool stuff. So, I think that's a really cool thing. Bring it around town, someone says. Did my Super Chat go through? Uh-oh, did I miss a Super Chat? I don't think I saw one non-stick. But I appreciate it if you did, let's see. Appreciate it, I've heard. Yeah. Well, I don't know, Jim, I don't know about you, but yes, this is a fun episode. I said it's like top 19 of all time, easily. Top 19. We learned things, we laughed, we cried, we coughed a little bit, thanks to our allergies. There really just wasn't anything we left on the table. But we had a big announcement, we're gonna have the new link to the channel. We're hoping you guys can help us build up a big subscribership so we can still get our cute little Super Stickers that you like to send us. It's one of my favorite things. I like Super, I think I like Super Stickers almost better than the Chats, because they got the little guys along with them. For sure, you get the little stickers. I didn't have the penguins on there. What am I like? I didn't have the penguins on there, did I? I did have a sticker book, yeah. Got it. Here's Twitter, real quick, right? What are you doing now? I gotta throw these real quick in the chat, so I'm gonna get you all the links to the social since we're at the end of the episode. That's a lot of links. Now it's okay to go find us on the socials, because we didn't want you to leave before, you know, we wanted you to hang out with us, right? Jim, just won't let it die, won't let it end. Keep it going, Jim. I'm trying. Geary was down for programming tonight, and normally we have- Oh, Geary, he's very pie, here's the problem, is we didn't splurge for an actually authentic pie. The pie is actually like a knock-off pie. We're gonna get the four with eight gigs next time. Yeah. Yeah, so he was down today. There we go, so all of them are posted now. Check us out on the socials over there. We will be back next week. Other than that, thank you guys so much. I hope you have a great night. Thank you guys for hanging out with us, and poochie, any final words, you good? Thank you to everybody who hashtags HotMakes. Please keep doing it. Thank you to Thangs, our sponsor. We appreciate you, and thanks to all you guys for just being awesome. Carry on your Monday. Have a good night, everybody. Baker's Mark, yeah, it was Apple. Bye, guys. Just one, just one more thing. Just you.


And here we go, first impressions of the Hoka Mofate II, not my full review, that'll happen after 50 miles. And yes, I do believe I'll be taking this trail running shoe, neutral, I should say, neutral trail running shoe from Hoka to 50 miles. And shall we dive in? And by the way, thank you for your patience with this video. I know it's been a little while. Since I said I was gonna test the shoe, but here we go. We're looking at a 33, what? 33 millimeter stack height in the heel, 29 in the forefoot for a four millimeter drop from Hoka with the Mofate II. That is a tall, tall stack height. And for the weight in my size, we're looking at 9.4 ounces or basically 276 grams. And here on your screen is in men's size nine. There's the weight in men's size nine for the Hoka Mofate II. Let's dive into the upper. So it's an external monomesh debris screen is what they're calling it through this tow box to help keep the rocks and dust out. And you should know it does have a tongue on the shoe. So if you prefer actually one second here, it's different than the Soccany Mad River TR, which is one piece of material or fabric through the tongue on this shoe. This shoe from Hoka, the Mofate II has an actual tongue that you could probably adjust a little bit more to rest on the top of your foot. So it's not a complete booty style upper, just so you know it's different than this Soccany Mad River TR. And through the heel counter here in the back of the shoe, it's a TPU reinforced heel counter. So basically pieces of very, very thin pieces of rubber through the heel to help protect again from the debris from rocks tearing the upper. It's actually pretty sturdy, I would say. Like this is a pretty rigid, it's a little rigid as well. I'm noticing right now as I'm pressing with my fingers and I think it's because of this TPU overlays to help protect your heel.  This will help protect the upper from tearing or ripping as you're descending radical trails out there in the wilderness. And now let's move on to this matrix right here through the forefoot. Yes, keyword Kevlar. Do you know how to spell Kevlar? This is insane. So this upper is reinforced with Kevlar plastic. So Kevlar is, when I think of Kevlar, I think of like body armor. Well, now it's in running shoes. So through right here through the midfoot and into the toe box a little bit is this reinforced Kevlar upper again to help with avoiding ripping or tearing of the upper. And I don't know about you. I've had some issues in the past with Hoka Uppers tearing on me right here through where my toes are basically connecting to the rest of my foot. And I would, I'm shocked. First of all, it probably increased the weight a little bit of this trail shoe. But it is, I don't know how they do it but there is Kevlar through this upper. And Kevlar is strong but it's relatively light they say the specific tensile strength of both Kevlar 29 and Kevlar 49 is over eight times greater than that of steel wire. So that's pretty impressive there, Hoka, for putting Kevlar into the upper of the Hoka Mifate II. And yes, again, Kevlar is the key word. And we're not gonna spend too much time on the midsole. I will say there's no rock plate. So it's a meta rocker midsole but there's no rock plate in the Mifate II. But you frankly probably don't need one with a 29 millimeter stack height in the forefoot. I would be pretty shocked if you ever felt a rock poking through this midsole into the bottom of your foot unless you're just bombing down a mountain and you step on a really sharp rock. But oh my, I hope that doesn't happen but there is no rock plate through the midfoot through the forefoot. And for that outsole, it's pretty exciting, pretty crazy what's going on. They have some deep grooves here through the forefoot for a little bit more flexibility through that outsole into the midsole actually and probably to save a little bit of weight as well. I have not had any rocks get stuck in these two grooves here through the outsole but I could foresee some challenges with rocks getting stuck in there. No issues yet but stay tuned after 50 miles to see if that happens. We're looking at five millimeter lug depth. So that's solid. And yes, they are placing this vibram rubber on the outsole in high abrasion areas. I must say it's interesting. Today on the run, I felt like the, I felt like the, the lug depth was pronounced. Like I could, I could actually feel the lugs a little bit under my feet. So I don't know if I liked it or not but I could, they just feel pretty aggressive, frankly. And for the fit of the Hokomafate II, I went true to size and we're good to go there for the length, a little narrow through the midfoot. So keep that in mind. Comfort, as far as comfort. Oh boy, I am a little surprised at how stiff the shoe feels out of the box. Actually, by the end of the run, it was starting to loosen up a little bit. Maybe I was just getting used to it but it even though like Hoka has this crazy stack height, it's just a little rigid. Like I think it's gonna actually take 20, 30 miles to break the shoe in. Usually a lot of shoes these days, you don't need any break in time. I think this one might need that. It just felt a little bit like a stiff ride coming right out of the box. All right, and we're gonna go with one positive and one drawback for the Mafate II. The positive has to be that Kevlar upper. I just, I love the attention to detail, Hoka. I suspect the dirt, now I rarely am able to take shoes past like 200 miles but I think this upper is gonna last 400, 500, 600 miles easily with that Kevlar reinforced upper. So good work there, Hoka. Enhancing the strength of your uppers. And for the drawback, I must say no ground contact feel. I am leaning a little more in the direction of preferring ground contact these days. So today on the run, again, I just wasn't feeling the, I like to feel the ground just a little bit. So I feel like I won with the ground and in this crazy stack height of 33 and 29, there's no ground contact feel. So just keep that in mind if you prefer a little lower ride to the ground. I guess one last drawback, okay.  Just be where you are up off the ground a little bit in this Mafate. So if you're running on trails that are a little more buffed out, that might be the better ticket than really technical trails for the Mafate too. And how will I use the Mafate too? Moving forward, long training runs. I think this is an ultra trail running shoe, absolutely. So if you're racing a 50 mile, racing a hundred mile on trails that need a little bit of good grip with that outsole, I think this is the shoe for you, but not too technical like I already mentioned.  And again, I'll keep you posted on how the shoe breaks in over time. It is just feeling a little stiff through that midsole right now, but maybe it'll loosen up as the miles continue to rack up in this guy. And last but not least that price, $170. Oh boy, oh boy, hoca. I don't know, I don't know. I think it's a little high. In fact, I know it's high and I usually don't do this, but I'm gonna go there, $110 for the Soccany Mad River TR, $170 for the Mafate too. Right now the Mad River is frankly winning out for me with respect to ride. And so I'm just, I'm not a buyer at $170. So that's just my gut right now after my first impression. Again, I'll keep testing it and keep you posted on whether that's price point is worth it. Now, okay, I will just say, maybe it is the Kevlar Upper is why they are thinking, okay, we're gonna ask for, we're gonna charge $170 because this upper is gonna last forever. So maybe that's their thought process from hoca. And that question of the day, more ground contact feel or less ground contact feel? Where do you fall on the spectrum? More or less right in the middle? How do you like to feel the ground underneath your feet through the running shoes, through that midsole, through that outsole? Like where do you fall on the spectrum? I'm probably more ground contact feel, probably right in the middle between more ground contact feel and that dead center. So that's the question of the day. Thanks for hitting it up. Kevlar is the keyword. Thanks for watching video number two of the Hoca Mafate 2. See beauty, work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.

It is now time for members of statements, the member from York, Simcoe, or Simcoe, York. York Simcoe. York Simcoe. I got it right. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker, and it is with great pride that I stand today here at Queens Park, named after Queen Victoria, who's now the second longest serving monarch of the Commonwealth. It is my honor to speak in celebration of a very special milestone for Queen Elizabeth II. On Thursday, September 9th, Queen Elizabeth became the longest serving monarch in a millennium of royal tradition. We have been the beneficiaries of a parliamentary system that recently celebrated its 800th anniversary. Our constitutional monarch is a rock of stability in changing times, and I would like to extend my congratulations to the Queen and the royal family. As over the last 63 years, seven months of her reign, the Queen has led with wisdom and grace. Not only is she the longest serving monarch, but she also provided the most stable leadership of the Commonwealth. She is more than nonpartisan. She is above partisanship. Through 11 Canadian Prime Ministers, from Louis-Saint Laurent to Prime Minister Stephen Harris, Harper, from Sir Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher to David Cameron, the Queen has been a rock of stability. I was delighted to be able to share in the presentations that were done in honor of the Queen in my writing, both in East Gullinbury and in Bond Head at St. Catherine's Byzantine Church. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Thank you. Further statements from the member from Essex? Thank you very much, Speaker. If I could bug your indulgence. I just want to say welcome to all my colleagues in the House. It's really as nice to see each and every one of you today. Speaker, it is good to see you in the chair as well and looking in good form. Here, the Writing of Essex lost, and with a haircut, Writing of Essex lost a wonderful woman over the summer. It is my honor to stand in this House to recognize the contributions made to my community by Margaret Walts. Any candidate who has run in an election in Essex County in the region over the last 40 years has done so under Margaret's careful watch. From 1975 until she passed on July the 27th, Margaret served as returning officer for both elections Canada and elections Ontario. Margaret committed herself to the democratic process in a way that very few others have. As a five-time candidate myself, Speaker, my team and I grew to have the utmost respect for Margaret's professionalism and her ability to effectively manage elections and countless staff. Margaret's contributions, however, weren't limited to elections. She sat as president on a number of boards, including the Essex Minor Baseball, Essex Minor Hockey Association, the Essex Regional Conservation Authority Foundation, the Essex Horticultural Society, the Liberal Association for Windsor and Essex County, and Essex BIA. She also served on Town Council and sat on the Board of Directors at the Woodsley Credit Union. Margaret's life centered around two things, family and community. Margaret met her husband Bill and became Sweethearts at Essex High. They married in 1950 and shared 65 years together and raised four children. On behalf of my riding of Essex, I want to say thank you to Bill, Richard, Dana, Becky, Brad and the grandchildren Brandon and Spencer for sharing Margaret with us for all these years. Thank you, Margaret, for everything. And just for today, the polls have now officially closed. Thank you, Margaret. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and pay tribute to Greater Sudbury Police Constable Joe McDonald. A name that will be familiar to many of my colleagues here and that we in Sudbury will not soon forget. Joe McDonald was 29 years old, a five-year veteran of the Sudbury Police Force with a young family at home when he was murdered doing a routine police stop in New Sudbury. Mr. Speaker, Constable Joe McDonald's murder was a tragedy. And while I rise today to pay tribute to Constable McDonald, I must also acknowledge Sergeant Rick McDonald of Sudbury, Mr. Speaker I got to know his mother this past summer, and other public safety officers throughout Ontario whose lives have been cut short in the line of duty. The death of a public safety officer in the line of duty in any community changes that community forever. In Sudbury and in the wake of the particularly violent murder of Constable Joe McDonald, our community was deeply wounded. None more wounded than Joe's entire family, but especially his wife and two daughters. On that night in 1993, the family of Joe McDonald lost a husband, father, son and brother. As a community, I believe it is our duty to help families like Joe's wherever we can. Which is why I'm pleased that our government remains committed to helping the spouses and children of fallen officers through the Constable Joe McDonald public safety officers survivor scholarship. While nothing can bring back Constable McDonald, Sergeant Rick McDonald or any other fallen officer back to their loved ones, this fund is a small way to help the spouses and children of these officers achieve their educational goals. Thank you Mr. Speaker. Further statements to the member from Elgin, Milisex Law. Thank you, Speaker. Speaker, I'd like to welcome back the students to their school year and as we all know, asthma symptoms worsened during the month of September and I'm proud to note that this school year Ryan's Law has been enacted to keep our students safe.  This is the first such piece of legislation in Canada. Ryan's Law is named after Ryan Gibbons, an elementary student from Stratfordville who needlessly passed away at schools after suffering from an asthma attack during his recess break. One in five children in Ontario suffers from asthma, making it the most common chronic condition among children in our province. I'm extremely delighted that school boards across the province have implemented Ryan's Law into this year's school system. As schools across our province become more asthma friendly thanks to Ryan's Law, we hope to never see such a tragedy again like we saw with the passing of Ryan Gibbons. I'd like to take this opportunity to also thank the many people who supported Ryan's Law through the legislative process. To Ryan's Mom Sandra Gibbons, thank you for helping create a legacy for Ryan. Your strength and determination ensured that this bill succeeded. I'd also like to thank key stakeholders of the Ontario Lung Association and the Asthma Society of Canada for all their hard work since day one. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that sits in this legislature who voted in support of Ryan's Law unanimously. I appreciate the support behind that because we together can work together to make Ontario a better place. Let's never forget Ryan's memory as we continue to work hard to make our school system safer and a safer place for all children in Ontario. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Further status? Member from London West. Thank you Speaker. I'm pleased to update this House on an exciting initiative that is galvanizing my community called SHIFT Moving London Forward. SHIFT proposes a 22 kilometre rapid transit network that will connect major institutions in London, including the university, the college, our two hospitals and the airport. Community surveys have identified improved transit and transportation as the number one priority for Londoners. Western and Fanshawe students who make up about 40% of London's bus ridership have been advocating strongly for improvements. As an MPP I've heard too many stories of unemployed Londoners who can't accept work in the industrial parks because those jobs are not accessible by transit. Speaker, London's current transit membership per capita far exceeds that of many comparable municipalities such as Hamilton, Mississauga and Waterloo. Yet unlike these pier cities which have secured significant provincial investments in bus rapid transit or light rail, London continues to rely on a bus system that is bursting at the scenes. Londoners do not accept that investment in public transit is an either or proposition that we must choose between public transit and keeping our electricity system public. Londoners expect both. We expect our vital public assets to be protected but we also expect transit to be funded. Speaker, London is ready. Council has committed $4 million to conduct an environmental assessment that is currently underway. What we need now is for the province to come to the table. Thank you. Thank you. For the statements of the member from Kingston and the Islands. Mr. Speaker, on July 26 of this year at the age of 89 our country lost a great political leader. Flora Macdonald left behind a strong and inspiring legacy for our country, for female leadership and for the true meaning of public service. As the first female federal representative for my riding of Kingston and the Islands, Ms. Macdonald was a trailblazer, always striving to serve the best interests of her community. Flora was affectionately called by all, set up Canada's second constituency office in 1973. She became our nation's first foreign minister and proved her diplomacy, skillful negotiation and compassion in international affairs. Ms. Macdonald was a true politician for the people and of the people. She was accessible, personable and always ready to engage with her community. In my seven years at the federal constituency office there were so many occasions when people from the riding and beyond contacted my office to try and connect with Flora. That in itself is a wonderful demonstration of the affection that our community has for this inspirational leader and for the many lives that she touched. Mr. Speaker, I'm so honored today to have the opportunity to pay this small tribute to this amazing woman. May she rest in deserved peace. Thank you. Miigwech. Thank you. For those statements, the member from Lantan, Kent Middlesex. Mr. Speaker, I'm pleased to rise to recognize Mr. Rex Crawford, a former liberal MP for Kent, for his significant contributions to his community and to the nation. Rex is prolific in his desire to serve and volunteer. Some of his many roles include work with the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club, being Vice President of the Farmers Union, Director of the Chatham Children's Treatment Centre, Sydenham District Hospital Board, the Chatham General Hospital Board and ARC Industries in Wallisburg. As an environmentally conscious farmer, Rex has served on the Board of the Lower Thames Conservation Authority and he continues on the Board of the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority Trust. In Dover Township, beginning in 1977, he was Councillor, Deputy Reeve and Reeve, working hard to maintain the agricultural integrity of some of the finest and most productive land in the country. In 1987, he was elected warden of Kent County. The following year he was elected to the House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Kent and was re-elected in 1993. Rex was largely responsible for bringing the ethanol plant to Chatham, Kent. As MP, Rex was a voice of his constituents and he was never afraid to challenge a position of his party if it was contrary to the interests of the people of Kent. For this he is respected and admired by all who know him. I continue to appreciate his advice, his support and friendship. Thank you. Thank you. Further statements? The Member from Cambridge. Thank you, Speaker. Yesterday afternoon I was pleased to attend the fourth annual United Way Car Show at the Toyota Manufacturing Plant in my community of Cambridge. There was a great turnout of people from Cambridge and neighbouring communities strolling through the rows of gleaming cars, enjoying the food and the music and contributing to a great cause. Just like these are just one of many examples of how Toyota partners with local groups and remains a staple of my community of Cambridge. On July 31st I was pleased to visit this award-winning plant, along with CEO Brian Crinock, where the Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure, Brad Dugood, announced that the Ontario government would be investing $42.1 million to secure over 8,000 current jobs and create new ones in Toyota's Ontario manufacturing operations. It was a great news day. Along with an investment of $421 million from Toyota, this funding will support equipment and technology upgrades and will prepare the Cambridge Toyota facility to produce the next generation of Lexus vehicles. For the first time outside Japan, Toyota's specialized welding technology will be used. This announcement is great news for the thousands of families across the Waterloo region that depend on the auto industry for their livelihood. Toyota is a major employment and a driver of our regional economy. And I am very, very proud that our government set the table to help keep the sector competitive in the face of fierce global competition. Thank you. Thank you. Further statements? The member from the Tobago Centre. Thank you, Speaker. Speaker, I rise in honour of Ukrainian Heritage Day today, Mr. Speaker. Through the first Ukrainian immigrants to Canada, Vasily Yelinyak and Ivan Pilipov arrived in Canada on September 7th, 1891. Since then, the Ukrainian-Canadian population in Ontario has grown to more than 340,000 people. And Ontarians of Ukrainian descent, along with so many other communities and backgrounds, have a rich heritage and have contributed to making Canada the great country that it is today. Many Ukrainians fled their homeland to find freedom from oppression and a better life. They found that life here in Canada. My grandfather was one of those people. And he and so many others in the community will always be grateful to Ontario and to our country. As proud as he was of his Ukrainian heritage, my grandfather was one of the proudest Canadians I have ever known. As a result of these reasons, Mr. Speaker, the province in 2011 unanimously passed a bill proclaiming Ukrainian Heritage Day on September 7th every year. I was honoured to have worked with members of this legislation on all sides on this bill. Later today, we shall be commemorating Heritage Day with a flag-raising ceremony at 4 o'clock. I invite all members of the House to attend. Mr. Speaker, this government has worked closely with Ontario's Ukrainian-Canadian community. The Premier was an Etobicoke Centre to commemorate Ukrainian Independence Day last month. She will also be attending the Blu-R-West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival this weekend. I encourage all members here to join us. It's a wonderful, wonderful weekend. The Premier and Minister Sandels, for example, worked to ensure that the interment and the Hall of Demar would be included in Ontario's curriculum. They ensured that funding would be provided to a new mobile classroom that will travel Ontario to educate students about the Hall of Demar. The Premier has repeatedly called for an independent and territorial sovereign Ukraine, and is proud and proudly sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine in these difficult times. The Premier is an MPP and a member of the community. I am proud of my Ukrainian heritage, proud of the work that the Premier and the government have done with the community, and proud of the contributions the community has made to our province and our country. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


Serious disease and premature death are directly linked to a scarcity of nutritious food across the planet. This global malnutrition crisis is placing increasing pressure on healthcare services and economies worldwide. It's estimated that at least three billion people don't receive the nutrients needed for healthy daily life. Globally, two and a half billion people consume too many calories, while almost a billion people consume too few. Malnutrition in all its forms is a growing challenge around the world. It's critical that people, especially children, consume more nutritious foods to tackle this public health crisis. A solution might include eating less food associated with poor health, such as the empty calories of ultra-processed food. Commercial agriculture needs a fundamental change in approach. Currently, incentives encourage high-calorie, low-nutrient staple crop production instead of diverse systems that are healthier for people and the environment. Providing people with a better understanding of the food they eat and its effect on our health can help drive this change. But governments around the world must play their part. New food production policies need to repurpose current incentive schemes, particularly the subsidies that encourage large volumes of a small variety of commodity crops. By producing cheaper, more nutritious, and diverse food, and improving the understanding of the nutrition we consume, we can use food as a powerful tool to improve health and lives around the world.
