[ Gasps ]

What's up, guys?

You are just in time

for another episode of "Becky's beauty hacks."

Today, I'm gonna show you how to hack your own lip plumper,

and you only need a few ingredients.

Olive oil!

Cinnamon!

Toothbrush!

So, you're just gonna, like, pour some olive oil

into your bowl and add your cinnamon.

I spilled!

Just still that [bleep] up!

I know it looks like diarrhea, but it smells like fall.

Ew.

So, you just want to scrub your lips for like two minutes.

Eww.

When your lips start tingling,

that's when you know it's working.

Oh, my god. This, like, really works.

Tune in next week, hackers!

Aah! Kevin: Right now on "hack my life"...

Stilettos!

...it's a footrace like you've never seen before.

Ooh, a little wobbly.

Brooke: We hit the track to find the best hacks

to save a broken heel.

Oh! No! You're cheating!

Kevin: Plus, tricks to clean your carpet and your sinuses.

It just stinks like a garbage fire.

Brooke: Learn how to unlock your mower's secret drone mode.

Kevin: Look what we have hacked!

And start seeing old wine bottles...

Oh, my god!

...in a new light.

Brooke: This is "hack my life."

[ Groans ]

-Thanks for not helping. -What?

Mowing your own lawn

can be such a seriously back-breaking task.

[ Groans ] Brooke, relax.

You know I've got a hack

that can take the pain out of mowing your lawn forever.

In fact, we're gonna put it to the test right now

in today's hack or wack?

Oh, I'm terrified.

Splinter.

Let's be honest, kev.

You haven't had a lot of success with lawn mowing hacks.

Remember when you tried to turn a bike into a lawn mower?

Kevin: Yeah. [ Groans ]

Kev, you want -- you want to call it?

This is wack.

The fatal flaw with the bike mower 3000

was that you still had to power it,

so I'm eliminating the middle man on this one.

Sure, okay. Technically, I'm eliminating every man.

You don't even need to be present for this one.

A little board, a little piece of rope, lawn mower.

You ready?

Are we killing a vampire? Okay.

No, no. We're cutting the lawn.

Find the center of your lawn to begin with.

Take me to pound town

and give me a couple good thwapity-thwaps.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

-Okay. -Oh, that feels good!

Okay, all right. No, you're -- [bleep]

The next thing you want to do is measure

and make sure that the rope is long enough.

We're gonna tie it to the mower

and it's going to cause a circular pattern.

Basically, the circles will get smaller and smaller

as the rope gets tighter?

That's it. You'll tie a knot to the bottom of the post.

We're gonna take the other end and tie it to our mower.

Seems like we're doing a lot of work to not do any work.

So, these usually have emergency releases, right?

So they just don't go off

and start mowing infants and pomeranians.

So, we'll put this bar down, the emergency release up,

and then you'll just tie around.

-You ready? -I'm ready.

-You want to do the honors? -I'd love to.

Yeah. Hop on in. You've got it.

All right. [ Engine starts ]

-Whoo! -Whoo!

3...2...go!

Go, my son!

[ Laughs ]

Right?!

Yeah!

Fully autonomous lawn bot!

It's just a lawn mower with a rope. That's it.

Wait, it's coming at us. Wait, is it coming right at us?

-Kevin, be careful! -Oh, hi, friend!

What are you doing? Just mowing a lawn? Cool!

Guess what I'm not doing -- pushing a damn lawn mower!

Whoo!

For you, my lady.

This is how everyone should mow a lawn, right?

Amen. Cheers.

Oh, yeah. Oh.

It's a formality, but what do you think? Hack or wack?

Oh, this is full-on lawn mower redemption.

This is a hack.

Success! The lazy lawnmower is a hack.

Brooke: This is Bob.

He may not look like much,

but back in the day, Bob had some big, dumb dreams...

Which didn't quite work out.

Now Bob's a broke ass,

and he needs every hack in the book to survive.

This is "broke ass Bob's guide to owning a dog."

♪♪

Hi.

What the --

I just found him.

My building won't allow dogs. Will you take him?

Brooke: Yikes! Is she crazy?!

You've only got 40 bones in the bank.

There's no way your broke ass can afford vet bills,

flea treatments, fancy food, and doggy day care.

That'll cost at least 200 bucks a month!

No way!

Please!

[ Sighs ] Okay.

Let's do this.

[ Squeals ]

Way to stand your ground, Bob.

Now that you're a new dog owner, congratulations!

[ Barking ] Looks like it's time for your first chore.

-Hey! -[ Whimpers ]

Brooke: Your buddy needs a walk, Bob,

and you better use a leash

or else you'll end up in the dog house.

More like the poorhouse.

There's got to be a way to hack a leash.

[ Ding! ]

My t-shirt wad!

[ Cash register dings ]

Okay.

With some old t-shirts,

that frankly should have been thrown away 10 years ago,

flobby Bobby can weave a makeshift leash

strong enough to rein in any mutt.

Good thing I never throw anything away.

That's great, Bob.

But seriously. Do your laundry.

♪♪

Oh, wow!

Looks like that new leash is actually working.

But now you two chick magnets probably want to cool off, huh?

Good thing you came prepared.

[ Cash register dings ]

By cutting the bottom of a water bottle in half

and wrapping it around another bottle,

you've hacked yourself an eco-friendly doggy bowl

for your new friend and you?

Wait. Have you even given him a name yet?

Humpy?

Sure.

That's a name you can shout throughout the neighborhood!

Humpy, no! [ Growling ]

Humpy, come on!

Uh-oh! Looks like somebody else

has a taste for cheap leather, too.

[ Groans ] It's my only left shoe!

All right. What you got for us now, Cesar moron?

[ Cash register dings ]

Oh. A little apple cider vinegar.

Very nice.

The wonder ingredient that dogs hate and broke asses love.

How about now? [ Whines ]

That's what I thought.

Congratulations on saving your only shoe.

But, Bob, he's still got to eatsomething.

[ Cash register dings ]

Ah, your leftovers! Of course!

By mixing up a little ground Turkey,

carrots, peas, and brown rice,

Bob's hacked a cheap feast

for himself and his furry friend.

It's good.

[ Sighs ] Feed the dog, Bob.

Oh, right! Yeah. Humpy!

Come on, humpy!

Good boy, Bob! Oh, who's a good boy, Bob?

Well, I got to hand it to you, Bob.

Looks like being a broke ass actually paid off.

With your thrifty hacks,

you've got a peaceful pup for under 15 bucks,

leaving enough in the bank

for a big night out with the lady.

Bob, wake up! I thought this was date night.

[ Groans ]

Brooke: Sorry, girl. Maybe next time.

What? Kevin: Up next, get pumped.

It's a hack vs. Hack that your podiatrist will hate.

Oh!

That could have been a lawsuit on our hands, Brooke.

Brooke: And we test your stain-fighting hacks

in tumblr's hack mail.

Announcer: Saccharin!

Friend to dieters, enemy of diet soda haters.

But did you know this artificial sweetener

is also a hack from history?

Baltimore, 1879.

Constantin fahlberg is a chemist at Johns Hopkins.

One day, he forgets to wash his hands before dinner

and notices his food is surprisingly sweet.

To learn why,

constantin taste-tests everything in his lab.

[ Groans ] Sick!

Oh, what's this? Oh, sweet deliciousness!

Announcer: He traces the flavor

to a beaker of benzoic sulfimide,

a substance 300 times sweeter than sugar.

Fahlberg patents saccharin as a cheap sugar substitute.

The public shuns the sweetener for being unnatural.

[ Crying ]

Announcer: Brooklyn, 1957.

Businessman Ben eisenstadt and his scientist son

invent a powdered form of saccharin.

Oh, sweet!

They market it as a low-Cal sugar substitute,

and sweet'n low is born!

Flash-forward to today!

The average American

consumes over 30,000 calories in sweets a year,

which means we need you now more than ever, saccharin.

You remain a calorie-conscious confection

and a hack from history.

♪♪

We've all been there.

You're rocking your favorite pair of pumps,

you look down, and -- [ Groans ]

Son of a gun, you broke your favorite heel!

[ Sighs ] Tell me about it, sister.

Don't worry, friends.

We've cobbled together the best hacks to heal those heels,

and we're putting them to the test in our....

Both: Stilett-a-thon!

Brought to you by metropcs.

Ladies, welcome to the first annual stilett-a-thon.

[ Cheering ]

It's a competition so fierce

we had to break your heels so you could enter it.

-What? -[ Groans ]

Brooke: So, today, we're gonna be competing

to see which hack can hopefully save your sad stilettos

and get you across the finish line the fastest.

Ladies, are you ready to find out your heel hacks?

-Absolutely. -Yeah.

Surprise!

-Oh! -[ Laughs ]

It's three everyday items that could hold your heel together

and get you through your day.

Hack number 1 is gum.

For hack number 2, we've got some tape.

And hack number 3 -- some hair ties.

All right, Karen. Which hack would you like?

Oh, 100% the bubble gum.

Haven't you gotten gum stuck on your shoe?

You can never take it off.

That's actually a really good thought there.

Elle, what would you like?

The elastic.

Aisha, that means you get stuck with the scotch tape.

Here's how this stilett-a-thon is going down.

You'll each apply your hack

to those horrible heels you're wearing

and then navigate your way

through our treacherous hack-stacle course.

Your first stop will be our makeup table,

where you'll have to apply lipstick on the go.

Then it's around the corner and up the steps to the mocha bar

for your morning coffee.

Finally, you'll heel your way through the grass

and into the water

before coming down the final stretch into home.

The contestant who crosses the finish line first

with her heels intact

will go home with this fabulous prize!

-Ooh! -Ooh!

Slippers!

Are you ladies ready to hack those heels?

-Yeah. -Yeah. Let's do it.

Then let's stilett-go!

-All right. -Scotch tape being applied.

This method is smart.

Poor Elle is fumbling. Got a heel down.

Karen's still chewing.

Oh! Interesting.

She's gone with a little twist of the hair band.

I can see how that will hold that together, hopefully.

Karen is now applying the chewed gum.

She seems disgusted by the gum from her own mouth.

It's a lot of gum. Yeah.

That actually looks terrible, Aisha, but --

Aisha: Terrible, but --

it also looks like it might hold.

If it's gonna win me this competition,

you didn't say it had to look good.

-That is true. -True.

All right, ladies.

We have come to the end of our prep phase.

To the starting line!

♪♪

Kevin: Here we go.

Ready, set, stiletto!

[ Horn honking ]

Brooke: Right out of the gate --

screaming out of the gate.

Oh!

No tiptoeing.

You have to put weight on that heel.

Okay. They've picked up their lipstick and the compacts.

They are applying lipstick while wobbling in heels,

which is very dangerous.

The heels are holding up for the moment.

Karen is not faring so well.

She is lagging behind with her gumshoe.

What is she, a detective? Hello.

Kevin: Hot on the case but really cold in the race.

Oh! No! No cheating!

Elle is playing a little dirty.

Oh, here we go.

Up the steps -- the first major obstacle,

and it looks like scotch tape held up.

Ooh. I don't know about hair tie.

That could have been a lawsuit on our hands, Brooke.

My god.

Oh, geez.

The scotch tape hack is holding up.

Aisha is down the steps,

and Elle is following just behind.

Ooh, a little wobbly.

Oh. Aisha with a stumble on the astroturf.

Elle is really making her way across that grass,

and out of nowhere, hair band's hopping into second place

as they're about to enter the dreaded pool.

Oh, my god!

[ Screaming ]

Oh! She lost a shoe.

This could be a dangerous turn of events here.

Hair bands have not held that heel on.

And Karen has overtaken Elle.

Bubble gum right now in second place.

It looks like Aisha undaunted.

She's in the lead by a landslide coming down the home stretch.

Oh! Scotch tape takes the win!

Nice!

And Karen comes from behind unexpectedly.

-Whoo! -Whoo.

Kevin: Oh, and -- wow.

Elle's fall from grace was dramatic.

Those hair bands -- they were no match for the water obstacle,

and that's gonna put her right into third place.

Congrats. All three ladies crossed the finish line,

their heels intact.

But the shoes look a little rougher for the wear.

There are no losers, ladies, but there is a clear winner.

Aisha, you made the right call,

and that's why you're the winner of these slippers!

[ Cheering ]

[ Horn honking ]

Feel free to put them on right now.

Everyone has scotch tape somewhere in their purse,

their car, their house.

It's a simple solution, and it hacked a high heel.

Take a victory lap. Enjoy the spoils of war.

And she's off again.

Come on.

Kevin: Coming up, the hackmaster

that brought us the beer keg urinal returns...

I see bottles of booze and a bike rim.

...with something only slightly classier.

-Look at it! Look at it! -It lights!

Brooke: And we test three hacks to clean your filthy carpets.

Voilà! Oh. Nope.

Today, I'm going to show you

how to hack your way to a false lash look every time.

This hack is so easy, you guys.

All you have to do is put on one coat of mascara.

While it's still wet, use a cotton swab

to apply baby powder all over your lashes.

Then apply another coat of mascara.

What is wrong with you?

Don't worry! Don't worry!

The folks on tumblr

sent in a bunch of hacks to clean the carpet,

so we're gonna get this fixed in no time.

'Cause it's hack mail.

Today we're making a mess in the name of science.

Always.

Brooke and I are going to dirty up these carpet squares

and then test your hacks for removing mustard stains.

Now, the hack that gets the carpet the cleanest

will win our coveted...

Both: Hack seal of approval.

Ohh. Sorry. I squirt.

Hack number 1 comes to us today from Felicity in New York.

Felicity writes...

All right, I'm gonna pour a little bit on in here.

Take our dish soap.

According to Felicity,

the instructions are "see what happens."

Yep. Let's just watch it here and...

I mean...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we probably need to stir it.

Yeah, let's mix it. You're right.

Let's fold it on in there.

Mm. Looks like cupcake frosting.

For someone you hate.

The dish soap and mustard combo is not so hot.

Here's the problem.

Any time you rub baking soda into a carpet,

it just tends to clump up and stay.

It's not getting better.

Time of death --

time of death -- right now.

There's a big sort of chartreuse stain

in the middle of the carpeting.

Our second hack --

allana writes...

So now that the peroxide is setting into the stain,

we take a cloth, place it over the stain,

and then voilà!

Oh! Nope. Forgot that part.

We take our iron and apply it to the stain.

Here we go. Crank up that steam.

Oh! It's musky.

This is good for peeling wallpaper.

[ Groans ] Or wilting flowers.

All right, so it's been about 30 seconds.

Let's see it.

Well, the mess is piping hot and fresh, and it really --

oh, it does -- it smells like dog urine.

Oh, it just stinks like a garbage fire.

Allana just trolled us.

That is -- [ Laughs ]

That is not legit at all.

Our last hack comes from Mike b. In richfield, Minnesota.

Mike writes...

He didn't specify what stains.

I'm hoping he's talking about mustard.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Oh, there we go.

Okay.

Get in on in there. Nice lather.

Ooh, the smell of menthol and mustard.

With the mustard. Yikes.

Speaking of your dad.

Right?

Look at that.

The mustard's coming out of the carpet

and getting right into the cloth.

Brooke. Look at this thing.

Wow.

Some people see Jesus in their toast.

I see nothing in the carpeting.

♪♪♪

Oh, god.

When it comes to setting the mood,

lighting makes all the difference in the world,

and today, I'm joined by home hackspert

and wine aficionado David switalski,

and we're gonna teach you how to brighten up your patio

using nothing more than a bike and some booze.

So, David, you're a home hack expert.

That's correct.

How does one become certified to do that?

You got to start by making your own wacky projects.

Make a sofa out of a truck, make a bar out of mannequins.

So, you're on a lot of watch lists, is what you're telling me.

[ Both laugh ]

I don't like to brag.

I see bottles of booze, chains and lights,

and a bike rim.

-That's correct. -What are we making today?

We're making a bike tire chandelier.

Turning bottles of wine into light is amazing.

I could normally just turn bottles of wine

into an explosive breakup conversation.

And I'm sorry I wasn't ready for commitment, Megan.

How do we hack a bike chandelier?

First, you want to string your lights.

We got 36 spokes, we've got 12 bottles.

Every third spoke,

we'll drop down two strands of the icicle lights

to stuff inside the bottles

so they're spaced evenly the whole way around.

And we're using leds because they will stay a lot cooler

than your regular incandescent Christmas lights.

Yeah, 'cause heat inside an enclosed area

equals shattered bulbs and/or fire.

Exactly. Okay.

So, now our next step is to hang the wheel.

Now, how does that work? Do we need a soldering gun?

Do we need horse glue?

We're gonna use some of the baling wire

and wire between the spokes of the wheel.

Now you want to fish it through the center of the wheel,

take your decorative chain...

There you go.

...and hang that bad boy up.

It's, um -- uh, it's pretty ugly, David.

What -- what am I missing?

Kevin, what about the bottles, man?

Oh, right. The whole wine bottle thing.

You can get this at any home center.

It's a malleable wire.

It bends real easy,

and it's gonna support the bottles

and hang them from the chandelier.

You wrap it around the neck of the bottle,

and now we have a supported wine bottle.

What?!

So let's get lights inside of bottle.

Work your way on up.

And then you make a hook.

You could use any kind of bottle,

but if you're not using the alcoholic variety,

you're making your hack far less fun.

Huh? Huh, look at that.

Just a couple of guys. Backyard.

Hanging some wine bottles from a bike wheel, you know?

All right, well, let's do it. Let's plug it in.

All right. Here we go. Stand back.

Hours of hard work. Here we go.

Activating the bike wine chandelier

in 3...2 --

oh, my god!

What?!

[ Laughs ] What?!

Look at it! It lights!

Look at it!

Oh, we did it!

Oh! The wine's really kicking in.
