life.

But increased industrialization,

deforestation, and

overconsumption means we're

facing a global water crisis.

But there's something you can do

to help.

It's a hack that only takes a

moment.

[ Liquid flowing ]

Pee in the shower.

By flushing just one less time a

day, you can save over 1,000

gallons of water a year.

Don't flush our planet down the

some undercover hacking.

>> New York, come on, lend me a

>> An egg hack that will change

Nude lady pantyhose.

>> Ever wonder where beer goes

after you drink it?

Let's hack a keg urinal.

Back in the keg, of course.

It's a miracle!

These shoes are killers.

>> [ Sighing ] Oh.

I'm always like, "it's gonna be

fine."

Then it's not fine.

>> Well, you might be in luck,

because we are testing out a

shoe-stretching hack which could

save your precious little

piggies.

Let's find out if it's

hack or wack.

Brooke, how about we make those

shoes a little more comfortable.

>> I'd love to.

>> Well, you're in luck, because

today we're using the freezer

and a little science to stretch

them.

And you want to line the shoe

with the bag.

>> I'm already intrigued.

>> Step 2, I'm gonna fill it

with water.

>> Gingerly.

>> These are -- yeah.

I feel the bag expanding against

the sides of the shoe already.

>> Okay.

>> So, then we're gonna zip her

on up.

Freeze, they'll condense a

little bit.

But the thing about water, it's

going to expand, but only by 9%.

I can't tell you with exact

certainty what that's going to

do to your shoe, but I can say

it will expand a bit.

>> I love you.

We've had a good time together.

Let's hope you come back in one

piece.

>> I don't even know you.

I have zero feelings for you.

>> It's like a sexual experience

on your foot, Kevin.

>> Oh. Well, I've had those.

Well, now we wait...

>> Okay.

>> Here you go.

>> Oh, gosh.

Whoo! It's real cold.

>> Try the other one.

>> Okay, I will.

That is refreshing.

>> So, Brooke, I defer to you

entirely on this one.

>> It feels better.

It feels a little roomier.

Like 9% worth?

>> Science, science.

>> Huh? Science?

>> So, Brooke, hack or wack?

>> I'm gonna go ahead and call

it a hack.

It feels better.

way to prepare an egg?

Well, think again.

Today I'm gonna teach you a hack

to scramble eggs inside their

shell.

>> Wow!

>> It's called the golden egg,

and it's beautiful.

I just need to do something real

quick so we can make this hack

work.

[ Drumroll ]

Okay!

[ Crowd cheers ]

All right, free at last.

What you need is a pair of

nylons -- lovely, nude lady

We're gonna take an egg and

slip it into the leg of your

stocking.

And you want to try and get it

about halfway down, like so.

Hold it kind of close, and then

start spinning it.

And then stop it abruptly so

that the egg spins back at you

very quickly.

>> Oh!

>> And this action scrambles the

egg inside the shell.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Drop it into a pot of cold

water, and then bring it to a

simmer.

There till it starts boiling.

Then, while we wait, we're gonna

put our undergarments back on.

[ Sighs ]

I'm gonna go get my egg.

All right.

And gently tap away some of the

shell.

See? It's scrambled perfectly.

[ Crowd cheers ]

And the smell -- let me tell you

a thing or two about that.

It smells just like a fart

inside a volcano.

Never wanted to shove anything

in my face so bad.

The egg is scrambled inside the

shell, which is completely

different from a hard-boiled

egg.

See what it tastes like.

Tastes just like an egg.

But we had a lot of fun getting

there.

You know what I'm saying?

>> 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 clothes hanger.

shoulders that never leave the

closet, but with a little

hacking, you can set them free.

Need a little outdoor

entertainment on a summer's day?

Bubble wand that's bigger than

your head!

It'll be fun!

For at least two seconds.

All-star!

Floor?

Bend wire hangers into double

hooks, and keep those thongs

flying high.

All-star!

Did you know a hanger could be a

giant needle?

Bend the wire, attach the

string, and thread it back where

it belongs.

All-star!

Want a shortcut for a fancy

garden topiary?

Bend a hanger into a pretty

shape and watch plants grow,

grow, grow around it.

All-star!

Jewelry a mess?

Eyehooks turn a hanger into a

neat closet organizer for a lady

or a gentleman.

All-star!

Forgot the stakes?

No problem.

Snip off the top of a hanger,

pop it into the ground, and your

tent is secure.

Just pack hangers the next time

you go camping, like a normal

person.

All-star!

Clothes hangers, it's time to

come out of the closet and into

the hall of fame.

That could be confiscated.

She hacks her own fire by taking

a piece of aluminum foil and

touching it to the positive and

negative ends of a double-a

battery.

Smokin'!

Ew! Just 'cause Holly's morals

are rotten doesn't mean her food

has to be.

Using a half-eaten bag of

cheese curls and leftover ramen

noodles, Holly hacks a

pocket-style prison treat.

She pours the noodles

into the bag, adds water,

rolls it up, and shakes.

Nice Holly.

Real nice.

Holly dissolves shells off

To up her disguise, this

they can turn this into a fully

>> So, then how do we actually

clean this bad boy out?

>> You're gonna use recovered

rainwater to flush this urinal.

Bucket, you drilled a hole in

it to connect to more pipes to

put it into here.

>> Yes.

>> So, your rainwater is gonna

collect up here, it's gonna come

down the pipe.

filled with chemicals that I
