Ep 18. Hack the Unexpected

Hack My Life: Inside Hacks is a comedic television series that provides viewers with life hacks that can save time and money in their daily routines. In season 1 episode 18, titled "Hack the Unexpected," hosts Kevin Pereira and Brooke Van Poppelen present hacks that can help viewers tackle unexpected situations that commonly occur in everyday life.

The episode kicks off with a segment on how to hack a flat tire. Kevin and Brooke explain that many people make the mistake of driving on a flat tire, which can ruin the rim and cause further damage to the vehicle. To avoid this, viewers can use everyday items, such as a can of compressed air and a bottle of water, to temporarily inflate the tire and make it to the nearest mechanic.

Next, the hosts demonstrate how to hack a broken zipper. Instead of throwing away a piece of clothing with a broken zipper, viewers can use a keychain ring or a paperclip to act as a makeshift zipper slider. This hack can save viewers from having to spend money on a new garment or pay for professional repairs.

The episode also features a hack for dealing with a hangover. Kevin and Brooke share a recipe for a hangover cure elixir that includes ingredients such as ginger, honey, and lemon. They explain that these ingredients help to soothe the stomach and reduce inflammation, which can alleviate symptoms of a hangover.

Later in the episode, the hosts present a hack for dealing with a power outage. Instead of fumbling around in the dark, viewers can use a headlamp and a gallon of water to create a makeshift light source. By shining the headlamp onto the jug of water, the light diffuses and illuminates the surrounding area.

Another unexpected situation that the hosts tackle is a dirty keyboard. To clean a keyboard without damaging the keys, viewers can use a sticky note or a Post-it® Note to remove dirt and debris from in between the keys. This hack is a simple and inexpensive way to keep a keyboard clean and functioning properly.

Finally, Kevin and Brooke show viewers how to hack a broken flip-flop. Instead of throwing away a flip-flop with a broken strap, viewers can use a bread clip to create a temporary fix. By threading the bread clip through the hole where the strap used to be, viewers can secure the flip-flop and prevent it from sliding off.

Throughout the episode, Kevin and Brooke provide tips and tricks to help viewers navigate unexpected situations. Their hacks are simple, creative, and effective, and demonstrate how viewers can use everyday items to solve unexpected problems.
