-time and money -saving convenience.

00:00:45,730 --> 00:00:50,590
The minivan Hackster. The only thing it
doesn't have is style.
13

Something's going to happen. And
parents, listen up for a trick that will
16
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:03,390
your kids actually want to clean the
kitchen.
17
00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:07,699
And get your gluten -free friends out of
the room because we have tons of uses
18
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,080
for bread. Hooray, science!

This is Hack My Life.
21
00:01:16,970 --> 00:01:20,030
We heard that dental floss is a great
hack for cutting cake.
22
00:01:20,031 --> 00:01:22,529
But is the hack more effective than
using a knife?
23
00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:25,210
Let's see which works best in this
Hacking the Norm.
24
00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:28,570
Hello, Miss B. Hello.
25
00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:31,170
You have a phenomenal bakery. This is
amazing.
26
00:01:31,410 --> 00:01:33,520
And I love what you've done with this
cake.
27
00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:38,489
You are a pro, and we want you to take a
stab, literally, at cutting the first
28
00:01:38,490 --> 00:01:41,870
half of this cake, you know, with a
normal cake -cutting knife.
29
00:01:42,130 --> 00:01:43,970
We are going to be using this.
30
00:01:43,971 --> 00:01:47,829
Just some plain old dental floss. All
right. The tool that makes the cleanest
31
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:48,880
cut takes the cake.
32
00:01:48,881 --> 00:01:50,829
Let's begin with the traditional method.
33
00:01:50,830 --> 00:01:51,990
Absolutely. Oh, no.
34
00:01:52,330 --> 00:01:53,380
Ouch. At the wrist.
35
00:01:53,850 --> 00:01:54,900
Ah,
36
00:01:56,770 --> 00:01:58,650
right through the, you know what. Oh.
37
00:01:58,651 --> 00:02:02,409
Mrs. B, do you think this is going to
stand up to the knife test?
38
00:02:02,410 --> 00:02:06,069
Well, I certainly think it will work. I
have never done this before, so I'm
39
00:02:06,070 --> 00:02:07,690
going to use your lines as a guide.
40
00:02:07,691 --> 00:02:08,788
It's hot.
41
00:02:08,789 --> 00:02:09,839
There it goes.
42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,639
I'm going to get a little.
43
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,739
It's on action in there. Yeah. I can't
tell. It got all the way through in the
44
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:17,450
middle. I've got to be really careful on
the way out. Ooh.
45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,139
That was oddly satisfying. Really? Not
bad at all. You want to hop in? Yeah, I
46
00:02:22,140 --> 00:02:25,450
do want to hop in. I'm going to take off
that beautiful chin of yours.
47
00:02:25,451 --> 00:02:29,519
I'm going to get your fingers a little
dirty with this method. Do a little wavy
48
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,470
line, or is it pretty straight on the
cut? Kind of wavy. Okay.
49
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:35,990
Let's remove a corner piece now and see
how the cut looks. Nice.
50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,640
Beautiful. Yep, that's very nice.
51
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:40,560
Dental floss. All right.
52
00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:42,390
See how we did.
53
00:02:42,391 --> 00:02:43,559
I'm so worried.
54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,610
There we go.
55
00:02:44,611 --> 00:02:46,139
We have this little ridge here.
56
00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:50,579
Problem is getting all the way to the
bottom. By a jagged margin, it looked
57
00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:52,380
the knife beat the dental flaw.
58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,980
Not going to be as perfect as a knife,
but it would serve the purpose.
59
00:02:56,981 --> 00:02:59,959
Will this be a special service you're
going to offer to customers, though? I
60
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:01,999
don't think so. Hooray, great, let's eat
cake.
61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,050
Cake.
62
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,119
uses permanent marker on a whiteboard.
Hand sanitizer, pencil erasers, and dry
63
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,400
erase markers are all supposedly
effective hacks. To find out which works
64
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:31,439
we asked HR to send us some real -life
office workers for this hack -off
65
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,490
challenge.
66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,440
In this corner, the dry erase product.
67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,060
Yeah. We got a marker. We have a dry
eraser.
68
00:03:38,061 --> 00:03:40,379
Do you think this is going to be
effective at all?
69
00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:41,720
I don't know. Maybe.
70
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:44,100
Let's erase some stuff and just show.
71
00:03:44,101 --> 00:03:45,869
what is permanent, what's not.
72
00:03:45,870 --> 00:03:47,810
So clearly, this was dry erase marker.
73
00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:50,410
That was the proper tool for this.
74
00:03:50,650 --> 00:03:54,350
Someone really wants you to remember
robust learning. What in the world?
75
00:03:54,590 --> 00:03:58,509
Hackers say you can cover these
wonderful corporate sayings with the dry
76
00:03:58,510 --> 00:04:02,250
marker. And as long as the ink is wet,
you should be able to wipe both off.
77
00:04:03,150 --> 00:04:06,830
And that's actually really effective.
78
00:04:06,831 --> 00:04:12,559
Look at that. That worked really well. A
bit of a mess there, but it's a
79
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,439
cleanable mess.
80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,059
Do you feel like you're empowered?
81
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:18,060
By my hack, my dry erase product.
82
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:19,350
She loves it.
83
00:04:19,351 --> 00:04:23,599
Someone went to a corporate retreat, did
one too many truss balls, and now they
84
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,619
want everybody to know their corporate
values are vertical integration and core
85
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:31,919
competency. Your hack will be using a
pencil eraser to clean that board. Good
86
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,690
luck. Get in there. Yeah, hop in it. All
right, give it a try.
87
00:04:34,691 --> 00:04:40,019
Is that actually working? It does seem
to be working, but I might be here for a
88
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:40,939
while. Yeah.
89
00:04:40,940 --> 00:04:43,939
There's also, like, eraser particles on
it, so you're definitely going to need
90
00:04:43,940 --> 00:04:48,359
some sort of cloth to fix it. If you
spent another, I don't know, 12, 13
91
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,859
here, we might not know that vertical
was ever written on this surface. Maybe,
92
00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:54,210
yeah. All right, let's move on. To our
third hack.
93
00:04:54,211 --> 00:04:57,979
How about some hand sanitizer and a
cloth? All right, let's try it out.
94
00:04:57,980 --> 00:05:00,240
Oh, well, here we have something.
95
00:05:00,241 --> 00:05:04,339
Synergy. Well, I'm enjoying the synergy
between this hand sanitizer and this
96
00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:05,440
whiteboard. Me too.
97
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,170
Well, it's fully remover now. There we
go. You got to go in for the detail
98
00:05:10,171 --> 00:05:11,659
Yeah, exactly.
99
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:12,579
Perfect synergy.
100
00:05:12,580 --> 00:05:15,919
100 % right here. Brooke, you're guiding
eyes. That was the additional 10 that
101
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,679
we needed. Thank you. The clear winner
here, hand sanitizer and a cloth. It
102
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,720
on quick. It does an incredible job. And
the room smells amazing.
103
00:05:25,220 --> 00:05:26,400
Breaking down the hack.
104
00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:31,089
The dry erase markers contain a solvent
called isopropyl alcohol, which can
105
00:05:31,090 --> 00:05:32,140
dissolve the ink.
106
00:05:32,590 --> 00:05:36,869
The rubber pencil eraser rubs the
surface of the board, which removes some
107
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:41,369
the marker. But because it doesn't
contain any chemicals, it only succeeds
108
00:05:41,370 --> 00:05:42,690
removing superficial ink.
109
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:47,669
Hand sanitizer contains isopropyl
alcohol just like the dry erase marker,
110
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:51,450
much greater amounts. So it's far more
effective at removing the marker.
111
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:57,579
Sometimes an item is so useful, it
ascends into the pantheon of great
112
00:05:57,580 --> 00:06:02,259
tools. Today we celebrate one of those
useful household items that truly has
113
00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:04,120
become a hack all -star.
114
00:06:04,660 --> 00:06:05,710
Bread.
115
00:06:06,940 --> 00:06:11,199
To fix burnt rice, place a slice of
white bread inside the pot for five to
116
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,859
minutes. That will get rid of the
charred taste, and your dinner party
117
00:06:14,860 --> 00:06:15,739
be ruined.
118
00:06:15,740 --> 00:06:16,790
All -star.
119
00:06:16,791 --> 00:06:20,599
Use a stale piece of bread to scrub away
the greasy fingerprints that your kids
120
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,890
leave behind on your stainless steel
fridge.
121
00:06:23,060 --> 00:06:27,919
To remove a splinter, pour hot water on
a piece of bread and place it over the
122
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,059
skin. Cover it with a bandage, and as
the bread cools, the splinter will come
123
00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:33,110
out.
124
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,899
If you spill water on your leather
furniture, just roll up a ball of white
125
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:41,240
and blot the affected area. It's going
to prevent water damage.
126
00:06:42,810 --> 00:06:46,350
Stick bread to the cut edges of cake to
prevent it from going stale.
127
00:06:46,351 --> 00:06:49,329
Finally, you don't have to eat it all in
one sitting.
128
00:06:49,330 --> 00:06:50,380
All -star.
129
00:06:50,730 --> 00:06:54,130
Congratulations, bread. You are our
newest all -star.
130
00:06:54,350 --> 00:06:55,400
Welcome to the club.
131
00:06:56,030 --> 00:07:00,750
Coming up, get your kids fed and out the
door much faster thanks to our hack.
132
00:07:00,990 --> 00:07:02,850
Like I don't even have kids sometimes.
133
00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:04,260
Going on vacation?
134
00:07:04,261 --> 00:07:07,229
Well, we have tips to protect your home
while you're away.
135
00:07:07,230 --> 00:07:08,370
Mission accomplished.
136
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,080
There are creatures on this earth who
exist solely to make your life
137
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,940
And it's your fault.
138
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,460
Because you made them.
139
00:07:24,940 --> 00:07:27,590
To protect yourself, you need a hack
line of defense.
140
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:29,140
Against your kids.
141
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:37,419
These are your kids. They demand a fast,
hot, gourmet breakfast every morning on
142
00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:38,470
their schedule.
143
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,240
To prevent pancake panic, try storing
the batter in an empty ketchup bottle.
144
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,120
You'll make flawless flapjacks in
seconds.
145
00:07:47,121 --> 00:07:51,419
Your kids can make a mockery of the
simplest task by putting their shoes on
146
00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:52,470
wrong feet.
147
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,859
To make sure they never again walk like
Frankenstein, cut a sticker in two and
148
00:07:56,860 --> 00:07:58,620
place half on the back of each shoe.
149
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,739
See? All your kids have to do is line up
the stickers correctly and they're good
150
00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:04,790
to go.
151
00:08:04,791 --> 00:08:07,919
Be careful. Make sure you're used to it.
Your kids want you to be their playmate
152
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,959
24 -7. Girls, just slow down. Which is
impossible because you are a busy and
153
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,010
important person.
154
00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:19,659
To turn playtime into multitasking time,
run a long rope around their swing and
155
00:08:19,660 --> 00:08:20,710
tie a secure knot.
156
00:08:20,711 --> 00:08:24,819
Now, pull away while you catch up with
your child -free friend. I know, she's
157
00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:28,939
great. Finally, your kids love to mess
up the kitchen. All right, who's going
158
00:08:28,940 --> 00:08:30,119
help me clean up this mess?
159
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:30,959
No way!
160
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,030
But they disappear the moment that you
ask them to help clean.
161
00:08:34,059 --> 00:08:38,058
To trick your kids into sweeping, take
two squares into the middle of the floor
162
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:41,840
and have them compete to get the biggest
pile. Yeah, there you go.
163
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,699
Great. So don't let your kids get the
best of you, because you have a hack
164
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:48,750
of defense.
165
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,790
Here's one more kid -friendly hack to
prevent a sticky situation.
166
00:08:54,791 --> 00:08:59,199
Popsicles, they leave even worse stains
than ice cream because they're basically
167
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,319
like frozen through a die. You can take
a real solo cup, trim just the bottom of
168
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,999
it off, and then you make a little slit
in the bottom, and then boom, you've got
169
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,050
a no -mess treat.
170
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,440
Orange for purple.
171
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:10,730
I love it.
172
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:27,750
microwave.
173
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,699
Today, it's Science Club versus Slacker
as we test out some solar -powered pizza
174
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:38,859
cooking hacks. In this hack versus... In
this corner, a trio of engineers from a
175
00:09:38,860 --> 00:09:41,540
local firm. We're calling them Team
Science Club.
176
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,380
And in this corner, it's Johnny.
177
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,359
Johnny's the only one who showed up for
Team Slacker, though it's just... Team
178
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,410
Johnny.
179
00:09:52,411 --> 00:09:55,789
Johnny, what's your strategy? How are
you going to cook this pizza using the
180
00:09:55,790 --> 00:09:58,490
sun? My car gets really hot.
181
00:09:58,770 --> 00:10:02,670
Figured I'd toss it on the dashboard
and, you know, see what happens.
182
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,259
I am so excited to learn how you are
going to cook a pizza using nothing but
183
00:10:09,260 --> 00:10:10,440
sun. Please explain.
184
00:10:10,441 --> 00:10:14,259
Today we have all the components to make
a solar oven. Pizza box, which will be
185
00:10:14,260 --> 00:10:16,559
our oven, and the black paper will
absorb the sunlight.
186
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,959
We're going to use this aluminum foil to
reflect the power of the sun. We close
187
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,099
up the pizza box with saran wrap. And
it's going to capture in the heat so
188
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:29,120
that it's just going to cook just like a
regular oven would. Fantastic.
189
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,440
Have you guys done this before?
190
00:10:31,441 --> 00:10:34,639
We understand. It'll work in theory. All
right. We've got some pizza to cook.
191
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,519
We're going to go head -to -head with
that guy.
192
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,720
We've got two hours to make this happen.
Ready, set, bake pizza.
193
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Let's build that solar oven.
194
00:10:42,001 --> 00:10:46,199
Team Science Club starts off the solar
oven by cutting a large flap into the
195
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,490
pizza box and covering it with aluminum
foil.
196
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,520
They then lay more foil on the bottom of
the pizza box.
197
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,560
Well, I'll let you get to work.
198
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,270
Yeah, okay. Okay, Goldman. Thanks.
Thanks, Johnny.
199
00:11:01,230 --> 00:11:05,129
They line the box with black
construction paper, wrap the perimeter
200
00:11:05,130 --> 00:11:09,030
with plastic wrap, prop it up with
toothpicks, and line in the pizza.
201
00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:14,930
Oh, my God, you guys, this is amazing.
202
00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:17,360
Oh, yeah.
203
00:11:17,770 --> 00:11:19,210
Something's going to happen.
204
00:11:19,770 --> 00:11:23,849
It looks slightly edible, but I've
noticed, like, the cheese hasn't even
205
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:27,149
yet. Once the heat gathers up inside, it
will start melting the cheese.
206
00:11:27,150 --> 00:11:29,590
Okay. I hope that starts happening soon.
207
00:11:30,110 --> 00:11:32,030
Johnny, you cooked that in record time.
208
00:11:32,170 --> 00:11:35,150
I didn't cook this. I ran out and got
it. I was starving, man.
209
00:11:35,930 --> 00:11:37,490
So the pizza's still on the dash.
210
00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:43,149
All right, the moment of truth has
arrived, guys. Let's check out this
211
00:11:43,150 --> 00:11:44,200
oven pizza.
212
00:11:45,290 --> 00:11:50,209
Okay. How's it going over there? Oh,
looks like that may have gotten lukewarm
213
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:54,609
best. Well, I guess there's really only
one way to truly determine which was the
214
00:11:54,610 --> 00:11:56,410
winner. Let me give you a slice, okay?
215
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,899
That sounded so crisp as you were
cutting into it. Well, it's not cold.
216
00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:02,950
definitely not.
217
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,130
Okay.
218
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,260
Mmm. Yeah?
219
00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:08,240
Yeah. We did good, guys, right?
220
00:12:08,241 --> 00:12:09,359
Try mine.
221
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,910
Yeah, let's try Johnny's. Oh, Johnny,
you want me to try yours? Yes. Okay.
222
00:12:14,660 --> 00:12:17,620
Oh, that's even less cooked.
223
00:12:17,621 --> 00:12:22,859
Looks like neither hat can cook a pizza
in a reasonable amount of time.
224
00:12:22,860 --> 00:12:27,059
Stick with the old -fashioned way. Or be
a slacker like Johnny and just... Stick
225
00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:27,919
with delivery.
226
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,759
Leaving your house alone for an extended
period of time, that can be daunting.
227
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,240
Sure. But it doesn't have to be.
228
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,460
Here's how to hack your home while away.
229
00:12:35,461 --> 00:12:39,599
You don't need to bother your neighbors
about watering your house plants ever
230
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,080
again thanks to this hack.
231
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,919
Fill an empty 2 -liter bottle with
water. Then put one end of a nylon cord
232
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,379
to the bottom and the other end in your
pot. Through the magic of physics, your
233
00:12:50,380 --> 00:12:51,760
ficus will water itself.
234
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,690
Hooray, science!
235
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,200
Right? Make sure your house doesn't get
too hot and humid while you're out.
236
00:12:58,201 --> 00:13:01,959
Dampen a light -colored towel and hang
it in your window. The trapped water
237
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,520
evaporate and cool the air that's
flowing through the house.
238
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,319
In case of an emergency, you'll want to
leave a spare key behind. But don't just
239
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,720
leave it under the mat. Glue an empty
medicine bottle to a pine cone.
240
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,679
Place the key inside and bury it. Only
those in the know will be able to find
241
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:19,730
it.
242
00:13:19,770 --> 00:13:23,449
You can hide your alarm keypad from
intruders and judgmental interior
243
00:13:23,450 --> 00:13:25,350
with some simple wall art.
244
00:13:25,650 --> 00:13:30,069
Just use hinges instead of a nail. And
that allows you to access your alarm at
245
00:13:30,070 --> 00:13:31,069
will.
246
00:13:31,070 --> 00:13:34,390
Thank you. Take note, future burglars of
Brooke's house.
247
00:13:35,010 --> 00:13:39,849
Coming up, we'll show you how a tin can
can improve your Wi -Fi. Don't try this
248
00:13:39,850 --> 00:13:41,669
at home, kids. Go to a neighbor's house.
249
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:44,950
And later, how can a trash bag help you
sleep like a baby?
250
00:14:00,501 --> 00:14:02,349
these cans.
251
00:14:02,350 --> 00:14:05,549
When you're done with a beverage, rather
than just recycle the can, you can
252
00:14:05,550 --> 00:14:10,369
actually hack it into a bunch of useful
items. You might have a Wi -Fi router at
253
00:14:10,370 --> 00:14:13,740
your house. Well, did you know you can
use a can to improve the signal
254
00:14:13,830 --> 00:14:14,880
It's true.
255
00:14:15,010 --> 00:14:17,590
You need a can, a knife, and some
scissors.
256
00:14:17,890 --> 00:14:21,440
Here's how it works. Take a can. You
want to go ahead and cut the bottom off.
257
00:14:22,210 --> 00:14:23,590
Don't try this at home, kids.
258
00:14:23,591 --> 00:14:27,809
Go to a neighbor's house. Once the
bottom is off your can, you're going to
259
00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:29,010
down the old middle.
260
00:14:31,090 --> 00:14:32,230
Cut along the bottom.
261
00:14:32,510 --> 00:14:35,640
Here's how this is going to work. Pop it
over your Wi -Fi antenna.
262
00:14:35,641 --> 00:14:39,409
Your Wi -Fi signal is going to bounce
off of this bad boy here, and you'll
263
00:14:39,410 --> 00:14:42,769
improve your signal strength in a single
direction. It looks amazing, and it's a
264
00:14:42,770 --> 00:14:46,269
great conversation starter. People say,
hey, what is that? And you can say, you
265
00:14:46,270 --> 00:14:51,229
used the soda can to improve your Wi
-Fi. And you almost slit your wrist in
266
00:14:51,230 --> 00:14:52,280
process.
267
00:14:52,830 --> 00:14:57,369
Today, Kevin and I will be hiding behind
some mirrors and posing as a makeup
268
00:14:57,370 --> 00:14:58,420
focus group.
269
00:14:58,421 --> 00:15:02,229
We've set up hidden cameras, and we're
offering free makeup to anyone who can
270
00:15:02,230 --> 00:15:07,709
hack household items into eyeliner, lip
stain, blush, and bronzer for this
271
00:15:07,710 --> 00:15:08,760
undercover hack.
272
00:15:10,930 --> 00:15:13,150
Come on in, and, yep, have a seat,
please.
273
00:15:13,450 --> 00:15:15,810
Okay, so this is supposed to be
eyeliner.
274
00:15:16,590 --> 00:15:18,510
I don't understand how this would work.
275
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:22,990
Makeup hack one, using an almond, a
lighter, and olive oil to make eyeliner.
276
00:15:23,470 --> 00:15:27,170
Are we supposed to light it?
277
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,540
Don't burn the brush. All right.
278
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,950
She's a little confused as to what we
should do here.
279
00:15:34,951 --> 00:15:35,919
I have no idea.
280
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,679
They're waving the white flag before
they even started.
281
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,920
Okay. I just wanted to know right away
if you just wanted any pointers or help.
282
00:15:42,921 --> 00:15:45,999
Yeah. They're unsure about everything
that's happening right now.
283
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,379
You can use the almond. You can burn the
end of it so that it creates a little
284
00:15:49,380 --> 00:15:50,430
bit of a char.
285
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,480
Freebasing eyeliner.
286
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:53,760
Break some of the char off.
287
00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:59,870
Then add olive oil and mix it with the
ash, and then use that as a liner.
288
00:16:00,350 --> 00:16:04,610
Well, they couldn't hack the eyeliner on
their own, so no free makeup.
289
00:16:06,350 --> 00:16:08,290
This is like MacGyver stuff here.
290
00:16:09,770 --> 00:16:14,329
Makeup hack two, combining water,
petroleum jelly, and powdered drink mix
291
00:16:14,330 --> 00:16:15,169
make lipstick.
292
00:16:15,170 --> 00:16:16,509
Making sure it's not poison.
293
00:16:16,510 --> 00:16:17,829
I wouldn't trust that either.
294
00:16:17,830 --> 00:16:20,429
It's hard because I don't know what the
ratios are supposed to be.
295
00:16:20,430 --> 00:16:23,260
They're combining the powdered drink mix
and the water.
296
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,090
Is it working?
297
00:16:26,780 --> 00:16:28,040
No. Oh, my gosh.
298
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,600
Oh, no. Sour face.
299
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,220
It's really, really tart.
300
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:37,879
You really have to love makeup to even
put up with this. No man or woman is
301
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,930
worth it.
302
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,040
Are my lips at least red? Did I do it
okay?
303
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,299
Yeah, it looks good. Okay. If you can
tolerate sour lips, then this hack is
304
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:49,300
you. And this duo did, earning them free
cosmetics.
305
00:16:50,140 --> 00:16:51,460
Oh, is it the cocoa powder?
306
00:16:51,540 --> 00:16:52,590
Makeup hack three.
307
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:55,650
Packing cocoa powder and lotion into
bronzer.
308
00:16:55,950 --> 00:17:00,190
They're both pouring the cocoa mix into
their jars. It's not good at least.
309
00:17:00,470 --> 00:17:01,910
A little glob or two of lotion.
310
00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:03,130
It's a little glossy.
311
00:17:03,131 --> 00:17:04,929
This is actually kind of amazing.
312
00:17:04,930 --> 00:17:06,030
She's making it work.
313
00:17:06,230 --> 00:17:07,280
She's happy.
314
00:17:07,589 --> 00:17:11,410
All right, so it looks good. It's
blended with your skin really nicely.
315
00:17:11,411 --> 00:17:13,828
The only thing is you have to worry
about bugs.
316
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:14,879
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
317
00:17:16,390 --> 00:17:20,949
Insect -related paranoia aside, they
completed the hack, and the free makeup
318
00:17:20,950 --> 00:17:23,108
there. All right, for the blush, my
friends.
319
00:17:23,109 --> 00:17:26,368
Is there anything else in there? No. I
think they're just trying to see how far
320
00:17:26,369 --> 00:17:27,419
they can get us to go.
321
00:17:27,609 --> 00:17:30,530
Makeup hack four, highlighter as a
substitute for blush.
322
00:17:31,010 --> 00:17:33,730
I'm not putting it on my face. Why would
you do that?
323
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:37,550
Brave, honey.
324
00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:39,660
But who would think to do that, though?
325
00:17:39,661 --> 00:17:44,479
Hey, that's hard. This is the funniest
thing I've ever done in my life. This is
326
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,939
much better than anything else. And a
round of free makeup for these brave
327
00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:51,480
women. I'm going all the way. I like
them cheeks, though. I love her.
328
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,020
I love her.
329
00:17:58,820 --> 00:18:02,260
I'm always losing my phone charger and
USB cables.
330
00:18:02,261 --> 00:18:03,819
Now what?
331
00:18:03,820 --> 00:18:06,950
You can stow your loose chargers and
cables in a sunglass case.
332
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,860
But now I have nowhere to store my
sunglasses.
333
00:18:10,540 --> 00:18:12,220
Hmm? Now what?
334
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,660
Well, a hanger can hold up your entire
sunglass collection.
335
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:17,760
I couldn't hang up my shirt.
336
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,500
Thanks a lot, sunglasses.
337
00:18:20,020 --> 00:18:22,440
Now it's wrinkled and I don't want to
iron.
338
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,690
So now what?
339
00:18:23,691 --> 00:18:26,699
Roll your shirt up like a burrito and
place it under your mattress.
340
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:29,780
Remove it in an hour and most of the
wrinkles will be gone.
341
00:18:29,781 --> 00:18:34,089
I like to take a nap, but now there's a
burrito -shaped lump in the middle of my
342
00:18:34,090 --> 00:18:36,450
bed. And my air mattress pump is broken.
343
00:18:36,451 --> 00:18:37,769
Now what?
344
00:18:37,770 --> 00:18:39,090
You are impossible.
345
00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:42,700
Trap some air in a trash bag and use it
to inflate your air mattress.
346
00:18:42,730 --> 00:18:47,429
Now I have this lovely new trash bag.
I'd love to replace my smelly one, but I
347
00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:49,770
can't get it out because of trash can
suction.
348
00:18:49,771 --> 00:18:50,949
Now what?
349
00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:54,429
Well, you can stop the suction that
makes trash bag removal tough by
350
00:18:54,430 --> 00:18:56,189
holes in the bottom of your garbage can.
351
00:18:56,190 --> 00:18:57,240
All right.
352
00:18:57,590 --> 00:18:58,640

00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:48,769

hour to download will get the job done
361

the least likely to succeed dashboard
pizza. Unless you want to wait several
368
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:18,359
hours for barely edible food, you're
better off baking it in an actual oven.
369
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:22,339
even if you don't get food poisoning
from lukewarm van cheese, you certainly
370
00:20:22,340 --> 00:20:23,900
