-Ihola! -[ Shrieks ]

Señor! Didn't know you were out here!

He's not. I'm his brother Dougie.

Ohh...

Señor solación is letting me crash here.

Oh, but why have I never heard of you before?

Because I was in a mental hospital.

Mi vidaloco for a while there.

Ohh.

I can't!

-Sí. -[ Gasps ]

-You can. -Ohh...

[ Moans, giggles ]

And take this tie,

wrap it around the tab, and...Pull.

[ Gasps, moans ]

You have your brother's way with hacks.

Who do you think he learned those from?

Now, Dougie...

It is time to let downyour

[ squeals, giggles ]

It's a family affair on "hacks del corazón."

Brooke: Tonight on "hack my life"...

Kevin: Tired of spending your coin at the laundromat?

We find out if a plunger and a bucket

can replace that expensive washing machine.

Look at it just going around.

Brooke: We have the bartending hacks

to keep you from breaking the bank.

Ooh! That's my jam!

Kevin: Plus, trying to get your kids to make the bed?

You can't do that with a regular sheet.

We've got a hack to get it made in seconds flat.

Brooke: Hold on to your hacks.

Aah!

Kevin: This is "hack my life."

So, what should I do to you, huh?!

Maybe hit you in the head with a paint can,

smack you in the face with an iron?

Oh, I know. How about I burn your hand with a door knob?!

Wait. You think that would work?

I don't know. Should we find out?

-Yeah. -[ Scoffs ]

Together: This is hacked or fiction.

In hacked or fiction, we test out hacks from popular culture

to see if beloved icons of the big and small screen

are actually great hackers or if it's just pure fiction.

So, the scene that we're trying to re-create is, in fact,

from "home alone" and, in it, Kevin McAllister

places an electric charcoal lighter

on the interior of a door handle,

and when Harry the burglar goes to grab it...

-Ooh. -Uh-oh.

...out comes the smoke.

That's third-degree burns. Everybody giggles.

So we want to know, can this happen in real life?

So, this type of lighter is an unprotected heating element,

which is essentially what you find

inside your electric stove or oven.

Yes, which they normally surround with thick metal

and a bunch of warning stickers.

Before we hop in and test this hack,

let's get a little bit of a control measurement here.

Let's see how hot the door handle is on either side.

Cool to the touch currently.

Well, now you're ruining the measurement, Brooke,

because your body heat is transferring to it,

and you're -- oh, that'sreal

okay, so, the door handle is 65 degrees fahrenheit.

Let's plug it in and test this hack!

What do you think it's at right now?

I'd say 200 or 300 degrees.

Interior.

-265 degrees... -Yeah, yeah.

...on the outside, so, yes.

Even though it's not glowing red like it did in the movie.

The heating element is doing its job.

The heat is transferring to the metal

of the interior door handle.

But the hacked or fiction

that we're trying to debunk is the exterior knob.

So, kids, don't try this at home.

Or at school. Or anywhere, really,

but I'm gonna go in for the grab.

Three...

Two...

Please don't burn me!

So, the exterior door handle is coming out around...

Oh, man. 69.4 degrees.

It's basically the same.

We love this movie so much, but we got to call it.

It's fiction.

Not a chance.

She knows that slinky cocktail dress

The cold-blooded hacker is not about to drop cash here.

She snuck in booze using a small but powerful hack --

Well, hello there, friends!

And welcome to let's make a thing,

where one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Let's see what's in the box today!

Two-liter bottle.

Whether you're prepping for the apocalypse

or you just want to use a port-a-John at Coachella,

we're gonna take good care of you.

We're making a gas mask.

So, here's what we'll need -- a can, activated charcoal,

cotton rounds, tape,

rubber bands and scissors,

and a sharp, stabby thing.

Let's make a thing!

First things first, gonna cut off the base of the bottle.

Okay.

But, obviously, we need a hole to put our face through.

So let's cut that now. Not the face. Cut the hole.

Easy.

Cut a u-shape around where the label might have been.

There's a little face hole.

But that could be a little irritating,

this plastic jabbing into your delicate skin,

so why don't we protect it?

Line it with some tape.

That's coming together really nice.

There we go.

This soda can is going to be the filtration system

for our hacked gas mask.

We're gonna start by poking a few little holes in the bottom.

Air will be drawn in through there. There you go.

Then we're gonna cut it off about 3 to 4 inches.

So that's the bottom of our filtration canister,

but there's nothing to actually

filter out the particles in the air,

so that's what we're gonna build right now.

And first of all, a cotton round.

The cotton will absorb any particles

that are floating around.

Then we're gonna sprinkle some activated charcoal,

and this will bind to any toxic chemicals and neutralize them.

You can find activated charcoal in drug stores

or on the Internet.

Now we're going to go ahead and pop another cotton round

on top of that.

And just for good measure, another cotton round.

So now we have our filtration canister.

We're going to jam the soda bottle into the cotton rounds,

and then we're gonna want to tape all the way around.

All right, now we're going to use these rubber bands

to make a bit of a tie.

Secure it to our face.

We're going to cut some holes, tie a knot in a rubber band.

That stops it from slipping through.

And feed it through the other side and tie another knot.

Now we have a strap to secure our face mask.

There's only one way to test it out,

so let's bring on the smoke!

Come on, chemical warfare! You're no match for me!

It works!

Whether it's zombies or a run-in with martial law,

you're gonna be ready to go, because you just hacked a thing.

Brooke: Coming up, we've got a hack

On a taut, new "hacks del corazón"...

Señorita mujer lusts for the luscious locks

I can tell that something is troubling you.

Perhaps if we make someamor, it would help you to forget.

Not tonight, dear.

¿Qué?

Something is amiss.

Is it...Another man?!

[ Gasps ] No!

It is just the sound of that leaky faucet

that is making it hard to concentrate.

Then we shall unspool your latent desire using this.

By tying a length of string around the faucet near the tap,

we can make the water flow downit

-Ohh! -Listen.

Wow! The quiet is wonderful!

Whoo! Whoo.

Safe word is "hack."

[ Both laugh ]

-[ Moans ] -Whoo!

Undoing the ties that bind

on "hacks De corazón."

-[ Groans ] -Morning.

Did you make your bed this morning, kev?

Why would I? I'm just gonna sleep in it tonight.

Kevin, we've discussed this.

Making your bed is a great way to start the day.

Plus it hides all the weird stains on the sheets.

I'll tell you what.

You give me a way to make my bed in 10 seconds, and I'll do it.

Challenge accepted.

It's time for a hack delivery.

[ Doorbell rings ]

In hack delivery, we find hacks being sold on the Internet

and put them to the test.

If they do their job, we'll keep them.

But if the performance is underwhelming,

we send them back.

Hold on to your hats because we're gonna revolutionize

the art of bed-making with zipit bedding.

So, this thing says it zips up like a sleeping bag.

It comes with a top sheet and a comforter,

which attach to each other with zippers.

Now, this thing makes some lofty claims.

Number one, it says you can make your bed fast and easy.

I'm listening.

Number two, you can stay tucked in and comfy all night long.

I can see that being a plus for little kids.

What about the fact that it's funand

not really important to me, but okay.

And number four... [Whispers] Secret pockets.

Well, I see you've got your zipit bedding

locked and loaded, kev.

-Yeah, look at these puppies. -It looks so good.

Here's a sweet little zipper pocket.

Shh!

Good for crumbs and collectible pokémon cards!

I just keep one cup of sugar in the pocket

so that even in the middle of the night,

I can just dig in there and be like, "Yah!"

Hey, parents, [Bleep] Off!

Hey, get out. I'm rebelling.

[ Whoosh! Whoosh! ]

It's time to move on to the testing.

Yes.

Each of us is going to simulate a regular night's sleep.

I will be slumbering in regular bedding.

Kevin will be zipped up in his zipit bedding.

Not a whole lot of room for movement or anything, really.

Not even breathing.

All right. If you do that all night,

we're gonna have trouble, mister.

I'm too zipped! Brooke!

You try and get a few z's, all right?

Okay.

Okay. I feel like we simulated sleep.

Now we got to get on to the second

and perhaps more important test -- making these beds.

Oh, you really did a number on yours.

This is a classic scenario.

Well, good luck to you, Brooke.

In three, two...Make them!

...zipper...

Oh, what happened?

Okay, yeah, it's pretty clear that -- oh.

-It's done. -How did this go?

-I'm done. -[Bleep].

Okay, now you're destroying the room.

That corner's not on all the way, Brooke. You wanna --

I feel like I could get into bed, watch you do this,

reach for my snack pocket,

get some granola, come back again, and rezip.

Yeah. I'm running laps now.

-I don't even... -Oh, you're calling that done?

I thought that was really fancy, how it was set up.

I'm out of breath!

All right, zipit bedding,

let's see if you live up to your own claims.

Were you "interactive and fun"?

You better believe it.

Can't do that with a regular sheet!

Did it provide a "comfortable and warm" night's sleep?

-Sure. -Okay.

I know that I'm probably larger than the usual...

-Child? -...Subject that would be

sleeping in the zipit bedding.

What about the secret pockets?

The secret pocket is pretty genius.

Did it make it easy to make and change your bedding?

You made your bed in literally five seconds, Kevin.

Making the bed was literally just throwing this on it

and zipping it up.

Zipit bedding, you hit your claims.

You did, buddy.

Look. Is it for me? Surprisingly, no.

But for parents that want to make it nice and easy

for their kids to make their bed,

this hack works, so I'd say keep it.
