Brooke: Life hacks are supposed to make your life better.

Kevin: So if any of these hacks make it worse,

stop what you're doing immediately!

Announcer:This season, emotions run high

after the sudden death of señor solución's padre.

[ Sobbing ]

Your father was like a father to me!

Sí. a son to him than I was,

even though you are just the lowly gardener.

Why do you not cry for him?

Because it was I who murdered him.

[ Gasps ]

Idios mío!

Señor, you must show emotion, or people will suspect you.

I will cry when the time comes!

All I need is this mentholated lip balm.

Just a few dabs under my eyes.

Oh! Nobody will suspect a thing.

It is the perfect crime.

Señor, why did you do it?

For money? For jealousy? For --

it was for the money.

I really love money.

Brooke: Tonight...

-Aah! -Okay.

...it's your lucky day.

N-o-o!

Kevin: We roll the dice on a hack

that could bring down the house...

Yeah! In your face!

Find out what pickle juice can do for your punch...

Kevin: Ohh!

...learn how to make mother nature your bitch...

Kevin: ...And dream better than you've ever dreamt before.

Whoa! I feel like I'm really in Tibet!

This is "hack my life."

♪♪

Come on, snake eyes! Oh!

Seven out. Come on!

You know, losing money at a casino

can really turn your night into a royal flush.

But could a simple hack improve your odds

of winning next time you're at the craps table?

We're gonna find out right now.

This is "gaming the system."

Today, we are joined by former craps dealer

and current casino arts professor Patrick rubiano.

-Thanks for joining us. -Thanks for having me.

So, Patrick, I look down at this table

and I see, like, there's probably a million different ways

for me to win or lose my money.

Sure, the betting can definitely get

a little bit complicated in this game.

But the basic bet's the pass line bet.

You would take two dice,

and you would throw them all the way to the other end.

So, that one was an 8.

So once you've established the 8 as the point,

now if you roll another 8, you win.

But if it's a 7, you lose.

And if you roll anything else, you just keep rolling.

Okay. So it's -- you just don't want a 7.

-Correct. -So how do we game the system?

Some people do believe you can actually influence

the outcome of the dice with a controlled throw.

One of the popular sets is called the flying v.

You start with the two 3's on top like this.

Got it.

And then you just throw them down the table like that.

And what you want is for the dice

to kind of rotate like this,

almost as if they're glued together.

And then, hopefully, when they land --

-you'll avoid the 7. -That's the theory, at least.

So, I'll roll with my traditional Portuguese flair.

Heh-heh-heh.

Brooke: And I'll be using the flying v hack,

which should reduce my odds of rolling a 7.

Don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling lucky.

This is the come-out roll. It's the first roll.

We're establishing a point.

-Good luck. -Dice are out.

What are you talking about? Here we go. Boom!

-Whoo! -Easy.

-The point is 8. -Ha ha! That's a good point.

Here we go. I got this. I got this 'cause --

what? Shoryuken!

Now, that's a street fighter.

6. Easy.

Nice. Boom!

7 out.

Come on!

[ Buzzer sounds ]

-That was terrible. -Yeah, yeah.

Kevin: Only two rolls before hitting a 7. That's not good.

I think it's time to maybe employ the hack,

see if our odds get any better.

-Like this? -Yep.

Ah. V formation.

Okay.

-4 easy. -Okay.

So, the point is to win by landing on 4,

and I'm not gonna get a 7.

Kind of toss it like you're feeding chicken.

-Oh, I fed a chicken. -All right.

Here's the hack. Keeping the guys together.

All right.

-Whoa. -5.

Okay, so I get to roll again.

Mama's got this.

Ah, it's a 7.

Nine. Center field 9.

-Okay. Still in it. -Beginner's luck.

-7. -10. Easy.

Brooke: All right.

♪♪

Hot dog! With mustard.

5. No field 5.

-Brooke's cheating, right? -No!

Patrick, let's just -- she's cheating.

I wouldn't even know how to cheat.

8 easy.

Yeah!

Winner. 4.

Yeah! Oh! In your face!

Kevin pereira, you Portuguese monster.

♪♪

This flying v hack totally works.

As far I'm concerned, I gamed the system.

Yeah, I mean, you did that time.

Somebody who's rolling randomly

could have achieved similar results.

I'm still, personally, a non-believer, though.

[Bleep] That. I'm going back tomorrow.

[ Ting! ]

Kevin: Sometimes, even extraordinary couples

face ordinary problems.

Couples like Helen and Humphrey,

two hack heroes who've just started a family together.

It's their first weekend apart from baby,

so they've decided to take a romantic camping trip.

It won't be easy, but these two can definitely hack it

because they are...

The hacktastics!

If these two are going to have any shot

at re-igniting the flame, they'll need a campfire.

Whoa!

But lugging logs to the fire pit

is seriously grueling work.

Thankfully, Helen comes to the rescue with trousers.

By tying the legs of her pants

to the belt loops with shoelaces,

Helen hacks a makeshift backpack that can be loaded with wood.

Now, that's hacking by the seat of your pants.

[ Ding! ]

Ah!

Ouch! Looks like Helen's got a splinter.

So Humphrey quickly harnesses the healing superpower of nature

with a dab of pine sap.

The sticky pitch adheres

to the splinter and dries it out,

allowing it to be removed painlessly.

[ Pop! ]

Where there's smoke, there's fire,

but only if you have sufficient kindling.

Thankfully, Helen Springs into action with hand sanitizer.

Due to its high alcohol content,

all they need is a single match to get a roaring fire.

Now, that's what I call clean energy.

Our heroic duo is truly enjoying

their first night away from baby,

and neither wants to let the embers die,

literally or metaphorically.

So Humphrey summons his trusty pocketknife

to cut the bottom off of two empty water bottles.

Then, by sliding a capped bottle into an uncapped one,

he hacks a set of bellows

that breathes new life into the glowing coals.

Looks like our heroes' first trip without junior

was a success.

Maybe next time they'll venture a bit further away from home.

Until then, they remain the hacktastics!

[ Zip! ]

Brooke: Wake up, people!

Up next, we test your hacks for silencing the snore.

-Aah! -Okay, nope.

that should help you get a good night's sleep

when you're stuck next to a snorer.

Whichever method blocks out sound the best wins our...

Hack number one comes from Nelson

So I'm going to beef these up

with a little bit of modeling Clay.

I'm just gonna take a handful like this and just...

Nope. Let's do less.

Are you just playing around with that dough?

Okay, this is a little more soundproof.

You let me know if you hear it, okay?

-Okay. -Great.

[ Snoring ]

[ Sighs ]

I can hear everything. I can hear --

look, the earplugs are pushing out of my ears.

You've got some dough on you.

So much better when you eat it.

Hack number two comes to us

from Alison in Eden prairie, Minnesota.

Go on.

All right, so, let's go ahead and secure this to my head.

Okay.

Uh-huh. There we go.

Right away feeling very snug.

You look like you're enjoying some virtual reality.

Whoa! I feel like I'm really in Tibet!

Well, what if you flip it around?

There we go.

Nice and graceful.

Let's try it. Yeah.

I actually don't snore,

but you know about my night terrors, right?

Okay, well, let's try that.

-Aah! -Okay, nope. Heard it.

-Okay. -Heard it.

Our final hack comes from deloris in Portland, Oregon.

"This hack has saved my marriage."

Oh.

Separate rooms for my parents.

-Oh! -So let's fire it up.

oh, there we go. There we go.

You can blast white noise unbelievably loud,

and in just a few minutes,

your brain will start filtering it out.

-What? -See?

Now the snore test.

[ Snoring ]

Pbht!

That actually did a pretty good job drowning you out.

You don't necessarily have to rest the machine on your person.

-Oh, I had to. I had to. Yeah. -Okay, okay.

I mean, listen, I could, yes, still hear you snoring,

but my very repetitive, violent thoughts

of wanting to kill you in your sleep

kind of got carried away by the white noise.

And I didn't think about killing you.

Well, thank you, clock radio.

Here on "hack my life," we're lovers, not fighters.

But knowing how to throw a punch can really come in handy.

Today, we're testing hacks to increase your punching power.

This is a hacksperiment.

And today, we'll be assisted by everyone's

favorite arcade game, power punch,

which measures the pounds of force

behind every punch you throw.

So before we begin, we need to establish

your baseline strength, you know, how hard you punch

without any hacks in your system.

Let's see what I got.

Okay.

That was good. Little step into it.

We wait for the result. Ohh!

Almost to the 2-hundo territory.

Oh, all right. It says I'm anemic.

Ready to meet your first hack? Shot of pickle juice, Brooke.

Okay, why? That's what it is.

Eat a [bleep] [Bleep] hole!

Just explode!

Yeah.

Good. 'Cause for your next hack,

we're gonna take that and channel it.

There have been studies that show that when you're angry,

your physical performance can go through the roof.

So what really angers you?

I hate the airport. I hate the lines.

I hate that they can never get my luggage up.

-That is impressive and scary. -Thank you.

Our third and final hack,

which I believe will make you punch even harder, Brooke.

It's very simple. It's called the "hyah!"

Hyah! Yeah. The same way a tennis player,

when they're about to swing, when they get that hyah.

It's that breath technique. There have been studies
