GMM 2055: We Try Crazy TikTok Life Hacks

Is doing away with instructions the ultimate life hack? – Let’s talk about that. (dynamic music) Good mythical morning. – Warning, I’m about to back in my day, y’all. – Oh good, thanks for the warning. – Back in my day, you couldn’t hack anything without at least a souped up computer, a black hoodie, and the ability to type 200 words per minute. – That’s fast. – But nowadays, if you got a nail clipper, a glass of OJ, and TikTok, it seems like you can hack anything in life. Now what’s the last thing, or the most recent thing that you’ve incorporated into your life from TikTok hacks? – I don’t know if this is a hack, but I got a French butter dish that I saw on TikTok. – You bought a product? – No. – A French… – I saw someone using it and then I just went and found it. It’s a butter dish that keeps your butter room temperature, and you put it upside down in water, and you can keep butter on the counter for a month. It’s always soft. – You’re really hacking life. – I love it! I’m not even French. – You’ve reached the pinnacle. Hopefully that will give us a leg up today. – I’m sure it will. – I don’t know. It’s time for cracking great life hacks all on our own. But what do we do with toothpaste and a trombone? – Here’s how it works. Each round, we’re gonna try our best to figure out how to pull off a specific life hack found by the Mythical Crew on TikTok, using the set of household items that we’re gonna be provided with. There’s always gonna be some wrenches thrown in among the items, AKA decoy items, to keep us on our toes. And maybe it will be a literal wrench. – Maybe. – Wouldn’t that be awesome? – That would be awesome. – I hope there’s a literal wrench. – Be like, oh, that’s not the thing, that’s the decoy. – We’re gonna have, wait, you don’t know that. We’ll have 10 minutes to crack each hack and 50 points to spend on lifelines, if necessary. – Yup, the more helpful the lifeline, the more points it’s gonna cost. And if we’re unable to complete the hack before time runs out, then it’s an automatic five point deduction. And after each round, Evor the Gen Z Mythical Crew member, will show us each hack, and how it’s properly done. Hello, Evor. – Hey, what’s up guys? What’s going on? – I don’t remember hiring you, Evor. When did you join the staff? – You didn’t hire me. I’m just here to hang out. – Oh, okay. – So you know your life hacks on TikTok, huh? – Oh, I sure do. I spend 12 hours a day scrolling TikTok to figure out how I can get more views and likes. (Rhett laughing) – Are you still talking to us, or are you blogging right now? – I don’t know. I just see a camera in front of me and I’m smiling for it. (both laughing) – Yeah, okay, I like it. – Hope his arms don’t get too cold. If we still have at least 30 points at the end of this entire thing, then Evor the Gen Z Mythical Crew member… – You mean the guy we just met? – Yeah. He’s going to serenade us with a special hacks of life song. – Ooh, I’m looking forward to that. Let’s show life who’s boss. (dynamic music) – We have a tray of stuff here. – [Both] Got a lighter. – Here’s a straw. – It works. – Here’s one, no. – Does not work as a straw, but it is… – Half of a chopstick. – Chopstick. – We have a canned drink. We have an empty cup. – Cup. Melons. – We’ve got some fruits. – Fruits. – We’ve got a hairdryer. It works. And we’ve got… – That’s a padded bag. – What? This is, it’s… – Okay, guys. – [Rhett] Stevie, can you tell us something. – [Stevie] Yes. For your first life hack, you’re gonna be using six of the eight items in front of you. And your lifelines are as follows. I can tell you what category the hack, Link. – Link, I… (crew laughing) – I wasn’t doing anything. I wasn’t smoking the straw. – [Stevie] I can tell you what category the hack falls into, like cleaning hacks, beauty hacks, et cetera, for one point. I can tell you which items are the decoys for one point each, two points total. Or, you can get a hint from Evor the Gen Z Crew Member for three points. – Well, we’ll definitely be doing that. – [Stevie] Okay, I’m gonna put 10 minutes on the clock. And your time starts now. – That’s exactly what I was hoping you would do. – Bingo. – Step one, fill the bag up with hot air. Actually, I think I might know what’s going on here. Put the fruit in the bag, Neal. – Put the fruit, what, come on. Am I in the dark now, too? – I think that we’re gonna make some sort of cocktail. – Oh. – We’re going to infuse. – Oh yeah. This is a good idea. And then I think, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. – I think now what– – Should we light it on fire? You put the straw in it and you just drink it. Now, you hold it up, and we heat it. Now what’s happening at this point is we are infusing the fruit into the LaCroix. – We’re making fruit soup is basically what we’re doing. – Strain that back into this cup, bowl. – This cup, bowl. Okay. – Just pour it, without the fruit. Just the LaCroix. – Yeah, yeah, I’m not a chump. – Back into this. Now this is gonna be fruity. And then you can just slurp this directly from the bowl. But civilized people like to put it into a cup. – The second pour is what really enhances the taste. – Now, I don’t know if you can see that on camera, but we have made this very colorful. – It doesn’t look colorful here, but. – And then you drink it. – Mm. – Wow, taste that. – I can taste grape. – The other side of the straw. – I can drink it out of the bowl. Cantaloupe. – So that’s it? – Watermelons. – Is that it? – No. – Evor, is that it? – No! You guys are super silly. – [Both] Okay. – So that’s not it. – I think we need to find out what a decoy item is. – All right, tell us a decoy item. One of the two. – [Stevie] LaCroix. – (laughs) What? Okay, now it’s up to you. And we need new fruit, man. ‘Cause I just totally LaCroixed our whole fruit. – Okay, I mean the fact that the fruit– – We need to burn the fruit, right? – The fact that the fruit is still in it has to mean that you eat the fruit at the end of this thing, right? – Well, I mean, I’m all out of ideas at this point, but I do think it involves burning the fruit. – I think this is homemade vacuum seal. – That’s not very exciting. – The standards aren’t too high for excitement on this show. I’m just saying, if you did this… – You’ll just burn right through the plastic, man. What’s that gonna do? – Vacuum seal. Like does this thing suck? – Okay. – We need another hint. – I think we need to know what kind of hack we’re doing. – Stevie Good choice. You’re executing a food hack. – I think that this is a decoy. I think we need to get the second decoy. – We also have fire. – You wanna pay for the second decoy item? – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Both] Second decoy item. – [Stevie] You do not need the lighter. – Oh, okay, all right. This may be a dehydration hack. – I think you could poke the bag. – Poke the bag. Use this, suck, hm. – Oh, this is how you taste hot fruit air. – That’s it, hot fruit air. Now put. – Hot fruit air. – We know the fruit goes in the bag. – Here’s the fruit. – Listen, I’ll bet my life on the fruit being in the bag. – And you know what? Hold that. – You heard it here. If the fruit doesn’t go in the bag, it’s over. This is my last episode ever. – Hot air. We’re gonna fill it up with hot air first. Do that. (hair dryer whirring) – It doesn’t take long, does it? (laughs) But what about the poke and the suck? ‘Cause I think there’s a poke and a suck. – All right, just maybe poke it here. Oh. – How’s that hot fruit air? You are doing vacuum sealing. – Homemade vacuum sealing. – Oh, and then… – You seal the hole. – With what? – With uh. – The lighter we don’t have. – Put it on there. – Then you gotta pull that out. Yup, yup, yup, yup. Just let it out, let it out. And then, yup. And it seals. – [Stevie] Two minutes. – Is the hole sealed? – I think it is, yeah. Okay, okay, all right, so. – We’ve got your fruit. – We vacuum sealed this fruit. – Bagged up and ready to go. – [Link] This is gonna be good for… – At least a week. – Guys. I’m feeling very generous today. I’m gonna give you a free hint. The thing that you’re trying to achieve, you’ve identified, but you haven’t done it correctly. And please note, you need to use all of the items that you have at your disposal. – I guess we now have to just eat the fruit that we stored, in cups. – Sealed fruit cups. – [Stevie] 30 seconds. – Okay, so what you gotta do is you gotta put the bag over the top, and I’m going to seal it to it. – [Link] Yup, yup, yup. (hair dryer whirring) – [Stevie] 10 seconds. – Okay, that. We sealed it and then you gotta do this. You gotta come in here. – Sucky, sucky, sucky, sucky, hacky, hacky, hacky, hacky, hacky. – And then you reseal. – [Stevie] Time. (laughing) – Okay, okay, time. – There it is. That fruit will last a week. – We did it. All right. All right, Evor, we just nailed it. Do the same thing we did to show us that we were correct. – Oh, you freaking Boomers were so close. Oh my gosh. So first what you’re gonna do is you’re gonna put the fruit in the Ziploc baggie. Then what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna close it, but not all the way, just a little bit, almost closed. And then you’re going to take the straw and you’re gonna put it in the bag, just in the little corner there. Then you’re gonna take the chopstick and you’re gonna poke it through the bottom of the cup. – What is this part? – And then we’re gonna pop that straw through the bottom of the cup. And then hairdryer, backside, on the cup. – Oh, that’s how you create the seal. – And now it’s sucking the air out. The vacu-seal technology, life hacked. – What, really? – It’s a TikTok hack. I mean, it’s not like, you know. – It’s gonna take a minute, but it’s a life hack. – I think it’s sealing up for him. (Link laughing) – Vacu-sealed. – Can we just see the original TikTok? – [Rhett] Ah, oh, well it does work. It works pretty well. – Okay. (dynamic music) Let’s redeem ourselves, man. We were so close. – [Stevie] Okay guys, you have the same lifelines as the last round. New items. Two decoys. Hack away in three, two, one. – Is this water or is it poison? – Drink it. Lemon, dry erase marker. – It tastes like water. A t-shirt with some black squigglies on it. – All right, all right. This has to be stain remover, right? – [Link] And this is the stain. What we need to do is– – Well two of these items are decoys. – The lemon has to be used, it’s for cleaner. – Well, let’s try it. We’ll use the plate, even though we don’t need the plate. – You know what I feel like? Before you add the water, let’s go concentrate. – Straight, concentrated lemons. – ‘Cause I’m gonna squeeze this on there. Just all over it. Just like make sure that we got some nice coverage. Give me a little bit of water. That’s enough. Okay. And now… – And now you rub it like a sponge. – Right, you just take this. – [Rhett] Yeah, that’s doing nothing. – [Link] And you just, is it though, is it though? – It’s doing nothing. Maybe the shirt’s a decoy. – Why would the shirt be a decoy? – ‘Cause they knew what we would try to do is to get the stain out. – It has to be a cleaning hack, I mean. – Well you wanna ask, let’s ask that question. – I don’t wanna ask that one. I’d rather ask what’s the decoy. – We’re probably gonna end up asking both of them, so. – What’s our first decoy? – [Stevie] The t-shirt. – Ah! – Rhett! All right, you’re right, man. – Okay, the t-shirt. – That was, that was a big red herring. – Save that for me though. – All right, so we’ve got a lemon half here. We’ve got a plate. I’m gonna dry this plate off just so it’s back to normal. – Something about putting lemon in water. – Oh, oh, you know, we’re gonna make like a… It’s gonna be, it’s going to do something magical. – This is an art hack. – Art hack. – This is an art hack. – Well, hold on. Tell me what you’re gonna do before you do it. – I don’t know, I was gonna just go on instinct. – You were gonna just put that. – I was just gonna put this in there and then you were gonna put it in there too. – I think lemon water is gonna draw out all of the ink. So what we’re going to do is we’re gonna put. – This is if you’re gonna de-ink all your markers without using them. – This is a marker cleansing art project. – This is if your marker has been infected with maybe an evil spirit? And the ink has been tainted by the devil. – Or if it just has toxic relatives, that it has to spend time with. – Get a good closeup of this, because this is gonna be amazing. When I stick this marker in there, it’s gonna come out real fast, do swirlies. – Just hold it, don’t shake it, nothing. Let it do its thing. – Yeah, yeah, we gotta give it time. I don’t know if I can salvage this. – It did not work. It is a stain-free marker. – We have made it impossible to do anything with this marker. – Like even if I got nervous and I was like, ooh, nothing. – Well actually something. – Oh yeah, a little something. – Yeah, don’t you like that shirt? – Yeah. We need to know the second decoy. – [Stevie] The second decoy is the lemon. – Oh shoot, man! – Crap. – Yeah, we screwed it up. Now we need another glass of water. And I think we need a new marker. Draw a picture. Draw your favorite thing. – Draw my favorite? – Well, don’t draw your favorite thing. Draw a smiley face. – I’ll draw your favorite– – Don’t draw my favorite thing. Draw a smiley face. Anything you want. – I’m drawing my favorite, my favorite thing. – Anything you want. Okay. Now put it where the people can see it, on the tray. – So it’s a miniature horse with a big back leg. – That needs to be amputated. Now, put it back down, – Put it back down, he says. – And– – Well, why are you just putting water on it? – Oh, just watch. Lay flat. This is an art hack. Oh! See, this is what it is! Okay, this is what it is. – It came off in pieces. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re gonna make a thing that, we’re gonna do a thing. – Yes, yes, yes. – Yeah, yeah, we’re gonna do a thing. Oh, we’re making a tattoo! We’re making a tattoo. – What, how? – Watch. – What do you mean? – Watch. Put a, draw a circle. Just draw a little circle that can fit on the back of my hand, okay. – Can I make it a peace sign? – Yes. ‘Cause I’m into that. Now, I’m gonna do this, just a little bit. – Just a little bit of water. – Just a little bit of water. Just a little bit. – [Link] Let me shake it. – [Rhett] Just get it, get it to cover it. Just enough to cover it. Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh. – Oh my gosh! – Okay. – It’s moving. – Now. Is it released? – Yup, yup, yup. – Now we gotta put a lot of pressure. Put a lot of pressure. Yeah, now draw the peace sign on top of my hand. – I’m not gonna do that. – And now. – I don’t wanna mess up your hand forever. – Okay, now take the hand off. And, I have a tattoo! – Rhett! – We did a tattoo! We made tattoos, Generation Z. – [Link] Give me another plate. Can I have a tattoo? What do I want? – Anything you want, man. – [Link] I want a chicken leg. – Okay, all right. That’s a chicken leg, all right. What are you gonna, that’s a big chicken leg. Where are you gonna put that, on your? Where are you gonna put that? – Oh! – Now, yeah. Put it on the palm of your hand. Where all great tattoos go. There you go, look at that. Looks like you got black rings on now. So, okay, obviously we did this. – We did it. – You did it! You didn’t quite get the chicken leg, but you got the hack for sure. – That is nice. Evor, let’s see what you do, man. Oh, is that it? – You guys freaking crushed it. A couple of TikTok hack kings. What do you guys think I should put on my body? – I don’t know, man. We don’t really know how to communicate with your generation. – I’m gonna do a circle. – Okay. – I mean, you could do a peace sign too, but. – Nope, I don’t think I will. – [Link] Oh, wow. See how it starts to float. – Oh, mine broke. – [Rhett] Now it’s a horseshoe. – And I don’t have extra supplies. So I’m just gonna do, oh, a horseshoe. – Hey, we beat Gen Z, man. – You didn’t beat me! – We beat Gen Z. – We beat Evor. – [Evor] You didn’t beat me! – I got to give it to you, man. – How many followers do you have on TikTok? How many likes do you have? How many views do you have? You didn’t beat me, I’m the best. – You don’t wanna play that game, brother. (laughing) – We made tattoos, man.

We’re sitting pretty. – Man. – In order to hear the hacks of life theme song from Evor, we can use all of our thingies. – Which I’m guessing that is a “Facts of Life” parody, which I’m very much looking forward to. – [Stevie] And I’m gonna start your time. – Doritos. – Now. – Parent’s Choice wipes. – [Rhett] I think we just eat the Doritos. – These are just wipes. These aren’t open yet. So open those. Oh, hidden in the tray, we have uncooked spaghetti. – These are not poison? – Uncooked spaghetti. Pringles and a Pringle container, unopened. And we have… – I don’t think this spaghetti is poisoned. – This right here. – It’s hard though. – Is a knife, box cutter. – Well maybe you just, maybe you just… – Now, I could take this box cutter. Is this a knife? I can use this, right? And you take this and you– – [Stevie] Whoa, this is making me really uncomfortable. – Actually, I’m kind of, I’m a little bit. – I could cut. – [Stevie] I, I, don’t think that. – All the way down this. Look at that. – What, can you tell us one of our decoy items? – [Stevie] I mean, only if you step in and take the knife away from Link. Thank you. – What is one of the decoy items? – [Stevie] The Pringles can. (Rhett laughs) – Okay, so get rid of the Pringles. – Baby wipes, spaghetti. If I take a baby wipe. – [Rhett] And cut it. – And I take one spaghetti, and I… – Rub it real hard. Yeah. I think it’ll eventually start a fire. – Or like static electricity type thing. – You gotta rub it harder. Make direct eye contact to a camera. Look guilty. (all laughing) Don’t look that happy though. – I can’t help it. – Okay. That’s a very clean noodle. I think we’re done. – All right, this is how you clean your noodles. – Can we get the second decoy item? – Hurry up and finish cleaning our noodle. I need to get in the restroom. – [Stevie] The spaghetti. – You’re sitting there polishing spaghetti, okay. So I need a new bag of Doritos. – What kind of hack is this? – What kind of hack is this? – Is this a food hack? – [Stevie] Are you asking for real? – [Both] Yeah. – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s a food hack. – So we have to eat the Doritos. You don’t want them to come in contact with the fricking… – No, you can’t do that. Maybe this is just a cleanup afterwards. – Is there another hack? – [Stevie] There’s another lifeline that you have. – Evor, give us a hint. – As someone that always passes the vibe check, I know how difficult it can be. A hack like this would help a lot of people stay fresh as me. – Oh, so this is… – Oh, oh! – After you’ve eaten nacho cheese you have to clean yourself. – Let’s just say, you– – This keeps your hands from getting Dorito fingers. – You want to eat Doritos… – Without touching them. – Without, well, without getting dirty. But why would you need this? – Why would you need this if you’re not dirty? – Why don’t you just eat the Doritos and then wipe up like a normal person? – [Stevie] But what if you’re looking at one of those items incorrectly? What if there’s more? – Like, like get rid of all these and just use the bag that they’re in. – You wanna put a Dorito inside of a Handy Wipe bag? – I think we gotta get rid of all the wipes. Now they’re gonna taste funny. Okay. – Oh. And then you seal that up. – Now you’re like. – Oh, and look at that. Look, show the people. – It’s like, hey man. – Turn it around. – You want a Dorito? – Just like that, look. It’s no different than a bag of Doritos. Crap, man! – If you do get any Dorito on your finger, you cut ’em off. – 10. – Yeah, but we didn’t cut anything. That’s the thing. Maybe we’re cutting the Doritos to make them smaller. – Ah! – [Stevie] And time. – Evor, so help me, good gracious. If this is simple, I’m gonna kill you. – Ah. You guys were so close to being there. You just gotta rip this bad boy right off the thing. And then you stick it on there. – Ah! – Open it up. – Oh! – Take this here cutter. And then you got fresh chips for days. – Are you serious? – Yeah. – Oh man. It’s about the chips staying fresh. – Oh my gosh. – Chips are staying fresh. – That is actually. – So close. – How did you take that off so easily? – [Evor] I’m super strong, can’t you tell? – Oh, it is sticky. – Don’t put Doritos in it first. – We didn’t win, but I still really wanna hear that hacks of life song. Can I hear it anyway? – All right, let’s make a deal.
