Hack My Life is a quick-witted, how-to series that showcases some of the best life hacks one can leverage to solve everyday problems. In this episode, season 6 episode 2, named "Shuck My Life," hosts Kevin Pereira and Brooke Van Poppelen take on the challenge of finding the best hacks and tricks for shucking corn, a perennial summertime classic.

As the episode begins, we see Kevin and Brooke start their hacks by using power tools. They demo a drill’s capabilities to remove the kernels from a cob in a hurry. Next, Kevin moves on to creating a corn shucking contraption using an air compressor that blasts air into a too-small bucket filled with cobs, simply taking off their husks. After that, they try kitchen hacks, like cutting the tip of the corn first and shaking the cob and you will have perfect corn.

Kevin and Brooke also exhibit their innovative spirit in trying out various hacks that can make serving corn an easier task. Kevin comes up with a hack to make a DIY corn stripper that helps you get more kernels with every stroke. Brooke, on the other hand, shows a technique of cooking corn in a cooler by filling it with hot water and putting the cobs inside. This astounding hack is perfect when it comes to catering to crowds at summer barbecues.

The episode aims to help people with everything corn-related, including how to store the fresh cobs once they've been shucked. Brooke hacks this problem by placing the corn inside a brown paper bag, which can last up to a week in the fridge. As Kevin says, "Nature's Tupperware!"

After all of these hacks, Kevin and Brooke come up with an ingenious notion: to make a corn lantern! They drill a hole in the cob, file it out, add a tea light, and ta-da! The corn is entirely edible, and the lantern creates a uniquely beautiful centerpiece for any outdoor summer party.

In addition to these hacks, the duo also touches upon some corn-related potential catastrophes. For example, they advise viewers that they should avoid microwaving fresh corn because it can explode. And, if you're grilling your corn on the cob, be sure to soak it in water prior, or else the husking techniques won't work effectively, possibly leading to overcooking.

In the end, the episode has gone over many hacks and tricks that anyone can use to get the most out of their corn. From quick and easy shucking methods to innovative ideas for table centerpieces, viewers are in for a treat. By the end of the episode, everyone will be able to show off life hacks that make cooking and consuming corn a breeze.
