>> [ Spanish accent ] This week

on "hacks del corazón"...

Vows will be broken...

>> You cheated on me.

>> Huh?

Our marriage is over!

>> You want to go?

Go!

>> [ Gasps ]

>> This window cleaner will act

not only as a lubricant, it will

also shrink the skin around your

finger.

>> [ Gasps ]

>> Will inés truly leave Hector?

"Hacks del corazón?"

"Hacks of the heart."

[ Honks ]

It's a battle of the bags.

>> Whoo!

>> See which of these hacks will

get your groceries home the

fastest.

>> No!

>> Plus we show you how to hack

junk into jazz...

That's a amazing!

>> Sleep comfortably in coach...

>> Ah, ow, ow, ow!

Ah.

And do the unthinkable --

fix a busted tire with fire!

>> Yeah!

I feel alive!

>> This is "hack my life."

>> Whoo!

Nothing makes me happier than

bringing home a huge load of

groceries.

Bring it inside and it's starts

to spill everywhere, and, oh!

You got a huge load all over

yourself.

>> Well, luckily, we've got a

few hacks that will make hauling

in all those groceries much

easier.

>> This is hack vs. Hack.

Annual "hack my life" battle of

the bags.

>> For today's challenge, you'll

each be choosing one hack, and

your objective is to get 15 bags

from the trunk of your car to

the house as fast as possible.

Sounds pretty simple, right?

[ Laughter ]

[ Laughs ]

Well, it's not.

So, Brooke, what are the hacks

for our first annual battle of

the bags?

>> All right.

First up, it's the trusty

carabiner.

Hack number two, we have a golf

club.

And hack number three is a

detachable purse strap.

So, pick your poison.

>> All right, Victoria, which

hack would you prefer?

I feel like you can loop bags

onto it and then close it.

>> Hmm.

>> Maybe carry it like it's a

bag.

>> Molly?

>> Uh, no question.

I'm going golf club.

And I think I might just be able

to muscle 15 bags onto this

sucker.

>> Ooh. I like that. Dangerous.

>> Last but certainly not least,

Brenda, you get two carabiners.

>> I get two.

>> How do you think you're gonna

utilize those carabiners?

>> Uh, I think I'm gonna throw

some bags on these suckers and

carry them.

>> Yep.

>> All right.

Let's see what our bag ladies

will be taking on in today's

course.

>> First, they'll have to tackle

our ankle-breaking ball field...

>> Maneuver through the haunted

log forest...

>> Brave a soaking sprinkler

system...

>> And wind around the perilous

patio furniture to our finish

line.

Ladies, the battle of the bags

begins!

[ Air horn honks ]

>> Wow. Okay.

>> Wasting no time.

Sprinting to their trunks.

>> Brenda is going straight into

her trunk with the carabiner,

just hooking all of those bags.

>> These bags are stuck on my

carabiner!

>> There we go.

>> Molly, right off the bat, is

putting her bags on the ground.

>> Victoria has finally got some

bags on her purse band and --

>> oh! Brenda's off.

>> Brenda's off to the races.

>> All right.

I think I'm gonna have to do two

trips here.

Aah!

>> Looks like she has half her

bags.

>> She's definitely hoping that

speed will be her key to

victory.

Molly is still struggling.

>> Oh, and look at that.

Victoria.

>> Hey!

>> Hey! Get back here.

>> Victoria's only got five bags

left behind.

Let's see if she's fast enough

to grab the remaining bags and

beat out the other two.

>> Whoo!

>> Completely unfazed by the

water, Victoria is just powering

through this course.

>> [ Grunts ]

>> Molly is spearing those bags

like exotic fish.

And she -- dead lift.

>> Dead lift.

>> Perfect form.

>> Wow.

>> Every single bag is on that

golf club.

Meanwhile, Victoria is about to

leave her first load at the

finish line, narrowly dodging

those skateboards.

>> Let's not forget -- she has

to go back and get more.

Right behind her is Brenda.

She's doing a little carabiner

waddle.

>> Her bags are down, but she

seems to be having a hard time

letting go of the groceries.

>> Molly has lost a shoe.

>> Oh, Molly.

>> While the other girls are

still back at the cars, here

comes Molly with her poopy

diaper waddle.

And with all her bags at once,

Molly is the winner!

>> Oh!

>> One trip.

[ Cheers and applause ]

>> And Victoria's come in second

place.

>> 'Bout time, sucker.

>> Her strap was speedy, but she

was no match for the might of

Molly.

>> And last but not least,

Brenda with the carabiners.

Strong finish, everybody.

>> Congrats, Molly!

[ Cheers and applause ]

>> Brenda, you came in last

place.

What went awry with your

carabiner?

>> Putting the bags on them,

they just kept getting caught.

They were a good idea, but,

yeah, I needed more practice

with the technique.

>> And Victoria, you came in

second place.

How did you feel about your

hack?

>> Instead of cutting off the

circulation of your hands, it,

like, transferred the cutting

into the wrist action to the

shoulder.

>> Too much weight all hanging

in one place.

You have won the battle of the

bags and america's hearts.

[ Smack! Ding! ]

Entire process looked downright

painful.

>> Yes.

This is definitely a hack that

you need to be strong for.

I might have to go to the doctor

after this, but it's worth it.

I won.

>> And you're not going away

empty-handed.

You can use this recyclable bag

anytime you want to brag to

folks that you threw out your

back for bragging rights.

[ Laughter ]

>> Sometimes a household item is

so useful it ascends into the

pantheon of great hacking tools.

Today, we celebrate one that's

truly become a hack all-star --

the rubber glove.

They help scrub stuff clean, but

when it comes to hacking, the

rubber gloves are coming off.

Missing the top of a bottle?

Just replace it with the finger

from a rubber glove.

You can poke a hole and there's

a spout, too.

>>All-star.

>> Want to amuse your party

guests?

Freeze juice or water in a

rubber glove to make a cold and

creepy decoration for the

Halloween punch.

>>All-star.

>> Need a secret weapon against

winter?

Glue mittens over a pair of

rubber gloves and just dare the

snow to get in.

>>All-star.

>> Got jewelry clutter?

Use a rubber glove as a

plaster-of-Paris mold.

You can make a hand to hold

rings and jewels like a very

quiet helper.

>>All-star.

>> Stressed out?

Well, make a diy stress ball by

filling a glove with rice or

sand and sealing the bottom.

It can turn the grumpiest guy

into the tamest pussycat.

>> [ Sighs ]

>>All-star.

>> Put her there, rubber gloves.

You've high-fived your way into

the all-star club.

Best hacks to get a workout in

at work.

>> And we prove that playing

with fire can sometimes be okay.

>> [ Exclaims ] O0 c1

>> sometimes ordinary people do

extraordinary things all in the

name of hacking.

While at work, most people

don't think about working out.

But not Phil the fitness nut.

He hacks every spare moment to

keep him healthy because he's...

A hack hero!

Is more crippling than

kryptonite.

But Phil sees it as a chance to

stimulate the growth of his

quads.

Using socks filled with rice and

some rubber bands, he hacks

homemade ankle weights.

Phil's listening and sculpting

his gams.

>> Thursday comes into Friday,

and the weekend's there.

>> Phil's training regimen

doesn't allow for free bagels.

But he makes good use of the

paper plates.

Core-shredding slides.

Abs of steel for the man of

steel.

It's also an opportunity.

That box of paper weighs 20

pounds, which Phil uses to shred

those shoulders with some

heavy-duty dumbbell rolls.

Thanks, gravity.

While his colleagues sit on

their butts all day, Phil keeps

burning calories with a diy

standing desk made of old

telephone books.

He's been saving those since

2003.

While Phil talks to clients, he

keeps his pecs popping.

A bungee cord and two rolls of

masking tape help him hack his

way to some resistance-band

training.

Phil's doing something right,

'cause his clients just doubled

their order.

Now, if only his co-workers

could be a little bit more like

Phil, this company might

actually start making some

money.

[ Snaps ]

>> Ohh! Aah!

Damn!

>> Sorry, pal.

Not everyone has what it takes

to be...A hack hero!

>> Yeah, that's not helping.

>> What happened?

>> I wouldn't worry about that.

>> Kev, the tire is completely

off the rim.

>> Don't worry.

I have a solution.

Using some explosions and some

fire and some very loud noises,

I can put that tire back on that

rim and reclaim my manhood.

We're going to create a tiny

explosion around the tire, and

the force of the gas will put

the tire back on the rim all

magic-like.

>> What you need for this hack

is a blow torch, some starter

fluid, and most importantly, a

fire extinguisher.

I don't know if it's gonna work,

but it should make a lot of

noise, and we get to play with

fire, so...

>> And it'll look cool.

>> Yeah. I'm game to try.

>> All right.

>> So, step one, very important,

we're gonna use a Jack to

elevate the tire.

Right?

If you want the tire to actually

pop back on the rim, it can't be

connected to the ground.

>> All right.

I'll just stand right here and

watch.

>> All right.

>> Kevin, you are, like, a pro

at jacking it.

>> Yeah, my father taught me.

>> All right.

Step two -- fire!

Let's just make a big, crazy --

>> no, no, no, no, no.

Step two -- safety.

It's not as fun, but it's

important, so...Yep.

Gloves, goggles -- get 'em on.

>> All right. A little ppe.

>> Exactly.

>> Personal protection

equipment.

>> Mm-hmm.

We got the goggles.

But also gas tank.

That is important.

We are far away from it.

It is back there.

We are up here.

So...this is about as safe as

you can get performing this

hacksperiment.

>> Let's do this.

Yeah, let's set a tire on fire.

>> Okay.

All right. Here we go.

Take some starter fluid.

Highly flammable.

Spray it around the rim.

All right.

Grab my blow torch.

Torch time.

Any last words?

>> No, just --

>> too late.

Bye, mom.

>> Whoa!

>> Wait for it!

>> Oh, god.

[ Exclaims ]

Oh, my god, oh, my god.

Watch out.

>> Go ahead. Pit crew it.

>> Yeah! I feel alive!

>> Whoo!

The hacksperiment is a success.

The gas ignites.

Boom!

It expands.

That reseats the tire.

The shop to get the tire back on

the rim 'cause we did it with

fire.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> Breaking down the hacks.

The spray of starter fluid

around the rim creates a ring of

extremely volatile diethyl ether

vapors.

These vapors combust at a

relatively low temperature.

So, when a small, controlled

explosion is created, the

surrounding air expands,

stretching and pushing the

rubber outward.

As the air cools, the rubber

contracts, snapping the tire

back on the rim and giving you

cause to celebrate.

[ Engine turns over ]

Who knew tire fires could be so

much fun?

Coming up, a hack master teaches

you how to rock out with your

junk out.

[ Honking ]

>> Yep.

>> Plus, we test your hacks for

friendlier flying.

It's tumblr's hack mail.

>> [ Snores ] O0 c1

>> Benjamin Franklin, master of

the receding hairline, never

president yet appears on money.

But did you know he created

several hacks from history?

11 years old, realizes he can

swim faster by strapping

painters' palettes to his hands.

Everyone thinks he's a dweeb,

but little Franklin and his

fancy flaps get the last laugh.

>> Boy, that dweeb can move!

>> And so, the swim fin is born.

Fast forward to Philadelphia,

Benji's later years.

When he's not helping invent

america, he's busy hacking

things together.

First lightning rod out of a

metal pole and some wire.

>> Yeah!

>> Franklin, age 78, hacks

together near- and far-sighted

spectacles to create bifocals,

a design still used today.

>> I can see! Thanks, Ben!

>> Like the say, it's all about

the Benjamins, baby.

>> Benjamin Franklin -- truly a

master of hacks from history.

[ Toilet flushes ]

>> Yeah, man.

Cool jams and hot garbage.

I'm about to bash some trash

with my buddy John.

He's a true...Hack master.

You take "trash" like this, and

you turn it into instruments

like the one I saw you playing

earlier.

>> Absolutely.

Because it's all about the

science, and as long as you can

use the materials to replicate

the science, you can make

musical instruments from just

about anything that's lying

around.

>> I see a funnel of some sort.

>> The funnel is gonna be part

of our first instrument, which

is gonna be the straw oboe,

which is -- we're gonna start

with this one right here.

>> That's an ordinary bendy

straw.

>> Bendy straw. Right.

And you can actually use a

straight straw, but it does look

more like an saxophone if you

play it like that.

>> Okay.

Corner off like that.

And the second corner off like

that.

Now, what you want to do is you

want to put the open sides to

the sides of your mouth.

I'm gonna bite down like this,

okay?

And then blow through the straw

as hard as you can.

[ Straw honks ]

Great.

>> That's the sound of sweet

success.

[ Both honking ]

>> Okay. That's perfect. Yeah.

Now, let's go ahead and make

this even more annoying.

>> [ Laughs ] Okay.

>> This probably was a flyer

from some concert.

We're just gonna create a little

cone shape like this.

And we're gonna take your straw,

and we're gonna slide it

through.

>> But is this just going to

amplify the sound?

Or is this gonna change it?

>> That's all it's gonna do is

gonna make it louder.

>> Perfect.

>> So, the next thing is to get

some different pitches.

The other side like that.

And a little diamond-shaped hole

pops out.

What happens is, when I lift my

fingers up off the holes of the

straw, the vibrating air column

gets shorter, it vibrates

faster, and the pitch gets

higher.

[ Honking ]

[ Laughter ]

>> That's amazing!

>> This is an oil truck funnel.

This has just one little straw

thing that fits into this.

>> So, you've made, like, a

removable, Reed-like mouthpiece.

>> Correct.

>> Okay.

>> I've cut holes into it just

like I did with your straw, but

this is hugely super loud.

[ Honking ]

>> Yep.

Okay.

Yep.

That -- I lost a memory.

Tell me about the stringed

instruments.

>> We're gonna make a one-sting

guitar called the diddley Bo.

Regular old piece of wood.

>> Okay.

>> I pre-drilled a couple of

holes.

This is the most important part.

Buckle.

If you hold that top part right

there and I spin this part, it

actually is bringing the two

screws together like that.

>> Mm-hmm.

System for inserting screws

called a, uh, screwdriver.

>> Ah, yes.

The Egyptians used these.

>> The Egyptians used these,

too, yes.

And then, on the other side,

we're gonna put another screw

here, and that's gonna just hold

down the wire.

And you can use any screw.

You can use a hammer -- a nail,

rather.

I mean, it really doesn't make

any difference.

I'm gonna make a little knot.

And that's just gonna go on this

side.

The same thing over here.

Make another knot.

So, I'm gonna hold that into

place.

Now, string string instruments

need something called a

resonator.

In this case, what we're gonna

be using is a tuna-fish can, so

we can "tuna" it up.

>> Yes! Yes!

>> Bad humor. Okay. Here we go.

This is what's called the

bridge.

Just a block of wood.

Just holds it up into the air.

So, we slide it along this way.

Specifically for you, so we're

gonna put that there like that.

Move this way.

>> Do I need to assume a power

pose?

[ Vocalizing ]

>> Play a major chord here.

>> And then I release doves.

>> I like to use just the ol'

glass slide.

[ Diddley Bo plays ]

Right.

>> Oh, I'm ready for a Clapton

solo, man.

Yeah!

Hack master John bertles from

"bash the trash."

John, thank you so much, man.

>> Thank you, man.

>> Appreciate it.

It's hacks on a plane.

It's tumblr's hack mail.

You just can't fall asleep, or

else your head will snap off.

But other than that... o0 c1

[ seatbelt sign dings ]

[ Baby cries ]

>> Ugh!

The screaming kids, the loud

engine noises, and the drink

cart hitting your elbow every

five seconds.

You can't sleep on a plane.

It's impossible.

>> Yeah.

Don't forget about annoying seat

mates.

Luckily, you, the people, wrote

in with some hacks for falling

asleep on a plane.

And award one our hack...

>> Both: Seal of approval!

>> All right.

Let's dive into it.

Hack number one comes to us from

Kevin r.

He writes...

So, Kevin r. Did not specify

what type of neck brace it was,

so I have opted for the soft

variety.

Nice and comfy.

>> So lovely.

I'm gonna go for full-on,

hard-core big boy.

>> That thing has cup holders on

it, I think.

>> All right.

Just really get it...

>> Okay.

>> Do you feel supported?

>> You're trying to stop the

"drinky bird" syndrome.

>> Right.

>> You know, when you're on a

plane, you nod off, the head

dips.

No. I'm still able to collapse.

>> Can't do it.

>> No? You can't drinky bird?

>> Nope.

>> Come on.

Touch your chin to your chest.

Try is.

Actually try to get your head

down.

>> Kev, I'm doing my best.

I can't bend my neck.

I feel very supported.

Mama would be out.

>> Okay.

>> Let's check out hack number

two.

Bill writes...

So, let's give it a --

>> give it a little lean back.

And...just gonna go ahead and

give a little snug.

All right.

>> But there's too many wild

cards.

You can't bet on this, not

knowing who's going to be next

to you.

I'm just imagining, like,

mouthfuls of whatever this

person smells like.

>> Just wait till Mr. Bear in

the middle.

>> Don't do it.

You're gonna collapse my face.

Ah! Ow, ow, ow!

Ah!

>> Yeah. See?

>> No.

>> Quite a fallible hack.

>> The last hack comes from

Lauren m. From Ann arbor,

Michigan.

>> All right, so...

>> So, let me see.

>> Throw it on the back, right?

>> Yeah.

I'm just gonna reach over like

so.

Oh, it's an eye mask.

>> Oh, yeah.

No. That's the thing.

There's no light leaking in

here.

You just can't actually fall

asleep or else your head will

snap off.

But other than that...

>> I don't know.

This is pretty chill.

>> You're -- you're sure?

>> I -- this doesn't feel weird.

>> Um, okay.

It certainly looks it.

>> Well, I can't see, so doesn't

matter to me.

>> All right.

Let's review these hacks.

The scarf -- very fashionable,

just not function whatsoever.

>> It's presuming a lot that you

can even put it around the back

of your seat.

This is -- no.

>> Which brings us to our second

hack, which was sleeping on the

seat next to you.

It requires nothing other than

you to place your nose and mouth

where thousands of armpits have

been.

>> So, our last hack -- that was

the neck braces.

>> I used the soft variety,

which provided about as much

comfort as one of those neck

pillows.

But you had the hard-shell.

>> Oh, I had the full-on

spinal-injury neck brace on, and

it worked like a charm.

Doesn't look pretty, but guess

who looks pretty when they

sleep?

>> Mm.

This lady.

>> Oh, no.

I look horrible after I wake up.

>> Oh, okay. All right.

Well, some lady.

>> Let's make it official.

>> Kevin r., you get our...

>> Both: Hack seal of approval!

Hacks on the show, it's so easy.

Go to

hackmylifetrutv.tumblr.com.

Send them in, and we will go

through the pain of trying them

out.

>> We sure will.

Now, let's just get some drinks

up in here.

>> Hey, flight lady!

Bring the booze!

>> Good night.

>> Both: [ Gasp ]

>> [ Gasps ]

>> [ Growls ]

>> [ Gasps ]

>> Both: [ Gasp ]

>> [ Gasps ]
