So, Shelly, who are you going to let take you to the dance?

I don't know, Liza.

On the one hand, slayer's a misogynist with a super-hot bod.

What's a girl to do?

My gosh.

Boys totally suck.

But you know what doesn't suck?

This yogurt-turmeric-and-honey face mask

The lactic acid in the yogurt removes dead skin cells.

Turmeric reduces redness,

Kevin: Tonight... Come to mama.

...on "hack my life".

Whoo!

Brooke: A zero-cost hack for removing dents

from your wood floor.

What?!

Wait a minute. What the fart?

Are wrestling hacks the key to boosting Kevin's confidence?

I challenge anyone who's man enough.

Kevin: Plus Brooke shows you how to up-cycle an old shirt

into a cute new apron.

Brooke: Step into the ring.

Agh.

Kevin: This is "hack my life".

It's host against host.

And hack against hack.

As we compete to see who can out-hack who.

And whoever runs out of hacks first loses.

Two hackers enter, but only one hacker can leave.

Welcome to...

Anything you can hack... I can hack better.

Pool party edition.

Oh, hey, Brooke.

Nothing ruins a perfect summer day

like the stinging bite of a mosquito,

but I have a hack for keeping these bloodsuckers at bay,

and it's an all-natural one.

I'm going to take a spray bottle,

fill it with a little water,

and then, to top it off, some organic cinnamon oil.

That will keep you bite free all day long.

Ooh, what a delight.

I smell like a churro.

You know what else I'm catching a whiff of?

The sweet scent of victory, Brooke.

But, kev, what about bees?

They hover around your food and terrorize guests.

I hacked this problem weeks ago by planting some marigold,

and now I just set them around my spread,

and the scent naturally repels bees.

[ Chuckles ]

Aren't they pretty?

Oh, yeah. That looks gorgeous, Brooke.

Why don't we celebrate with an ice-cold beverage?

And you know, Brooke, when you're throwing a party,

the most important thing is what?

Yeah, that's right -- presentation.

Which is why I've hacked together

this delightful punch-serving display

using nothing more than a ladder and some wooden boards,

so whenever you're ready, you can cruise on over

for a delicious drink of your sweet defeat

courtesy of my beautiful booze tower. Gotcha, Brooke!

That sounds great for your friends on land, Kevin,

but what about your buddies in the water?

That's why I hacked a pool cooler

out of a plastic container and a pool noodle.

You just use a regular old pool-noodle,

and then you cut it up into four pieces.

Then you take a piece of rope, string it around,

throw some beer and ice in there,

and, boom, I've got a floating cooler.

And now I've got ice-cold beer at my fingertips.

Come to mama.

Speaking of cold, this pool is too cold

to swim in, but guess what?

I have a hack for that, too. I thought ahead,

and I wrapped some hula-hoops in black plastic.

Just wrapped it around, taped down the excess edges.

That way, the plastic absorbs the heat of the sun

and transfers it to the pool.

Think you can top that, kev?

Oh, I know I can top that, Brooke,

because I'm filling the pool with these buckets

of warm water, so my guests

will basically be taking a luxurious bath.

Kevin, put the buckets down and admit you're out of hacks.

How about you join me over here?

Okay.

Announcer: The post-it --

america's favorite office supply,

frequently used and even more frequently stolen.

But did you know these sticky slips

are also a hack from history?

Minnesota, 1968 --

Spencer silver is a chemist for 3m.

His job?

Develop a glue strong enough to be used for constructing planes.

I think this formula will really take off.

But he does the exact opposite.

His adhesive leaves no residue and is far too weak.

Still, this failure becomes company folklore

and the technology is abandoned until 1974.

Another 3m chemist named Arthur fry

sings with his church choir.

Wait, what page are we on?

But when the bookmark in his hymnal slips,

divine inspiration strikes.

Hallelujah.

Eager for a better bookmark, fry recalls

silver's failed super-adhesive

and applies it to a stick of yellow note-paper,

packing together the first ever post-its pad.

Note to self -- I'm a genius.

Flash-forward to 1998.

Post-it notes are office staples.

A survey finds that employees receive

an average of 11 notes on post-its every day.

In today's digital world, post-its persevere.

We've got plenty of them to clean our keyboards,

decorate our offices, or bandage

the paper cuts we get from using post-its.

Congratulations, post-it notes.

You somehow survived extinction

and remain a great hack from history.

You're still reading that same magazine?

So much content to digest.

Brooke, spider!

Bugs in the home are nobody's friend,

Not just for spiders. What?

"It's the safe and friendly way to remove insects

and critters from your home". Oh.

Here are the claims from my critter catcher.

It safely and humanely transports bugs.

No more spraying harmful chemicals

around children and pets.

No more cleaning bug guts off the wall.

Hate that.

Look what it comes with.

It comes with a demo spider?

Apparently my critter catcher is easy.

Simply squeeze the handle, so the soft,

nylon bristles open.

Place directly over the critter, release the handle, and catch!

And release back into the wild.

-Okay. -So now it's time to decide --

-It did. -Yeah.

Obviously, we didn't use any dangerous pesticides.

But how big a dent can this hack fix?

Let's find out.

Both: This is "hack it to the limit".

Today, we're testing out a hack to fix dents in wood

using an iron and a wet t-shirt.

It's hack magic!

The idea behind today's hack is

that the iron will boil the water in the wet t-shirt,

pump steam into the wood, and pop out the dents.

We're going to put it through a three-course trial.

Level one -- a dent from high heels.

Level two -- a dent from a hammer.

And level three -- a dent from a ten-pound kettle bell.

I think we're going to Max out at the hammer.

I think we're going all the way.

You always go big. You always go big!

We're going to get the kettle bell-dent out of the floor!

We're not going to find a limit to this hack.

Wow.

Just a good, old-fashioned Dutch bump.

You really did a number on this plank of wood.

Thank you.

Do you think a shirt that has been soaked with water

and a hot iron are going to get any of these dents out?
