How many hacks could a life hack hack if a life hack could hack lives?
Let's talk about that.

- Good. Mythical. Morning! - Mythical Beasts, a question is like a
dresser from IKEA. It sits in the warehouse in sixteen different boxes
waiting patiently for you to write down its name and serial number,
"BLERKDERB-8975," and bring it to us via social media. Then, we dump all its
question parts out on the floor and start turning screws and hammering pegs with no
regard for the instructions. Two hours later: "Where's that little piece that we
need for the question dresser?!" We search everywhere! We yell at the dog for no
reason! We curse IKEA! And then, in a fit of rage and defeat, we break the end off a
wooden spoon and wedge it in there... and it works! We've hacked your dresser, and
- you have your answer. - We asked you to ask us questions about
life hack advice, and today, we have some answers for you.
Mahia Mahzabin asks, "Do you have any life hacks for making midnight snacks quietly
- and without my parents waking up?" - Oh, this is a great question, Mahia! And
you know what, if your parents are gonna wake up, it's gonna be because you do
something like turn the microwave on, wake up, open the fridge -- It makes more sound
- than you realize, they're gonna wake up! - (suction sound)
You gotta have a completely silent solution, and we have that. It is spray
cheese. Observe: it makes absolutely no noise.
I don't hear anything! I didn't even know it was in there until I tasted it!
And, you know what? The great thing about this is it doesn't require refrigeration,
so after you use it that first time, you can just put it underneath your mattress
- for later! - Mmmmmm!
- Problem solved! - You're welcome. Next question, Rhett!
This is from Samantha Youskevich, she says, "My boyfriend and I definitely need
a life hack for remembering to bring the essentials when we leave -- keys, wallets,
phones, you get it! If any two "Mythical Masterminds" could fix this, it'd be you
- two! - Well if any one guy actually needs help
with this in addition to you, Samantha, it's me! I forgot my wallet this morning!
- He did! - And I went back in the house twice!
Once, you came there for us to carpool in, did you see me come out and go back in?
- I thought you were gettin' your wallet! - I was gettin' my phone!
- Oh! (laughs) - I forgot stuff. So, for me and for you,
Samantha, or for everyone else who doesn't know how to get all their crap together on
a consistent basis: we have a "Song For When."
- This is a song for when... - ...you wanna make sure you've got
- everything before you leave the house. (unison) Five, six, seven, eight!
It's time to go; it's time to go, go go! But before I go I got to ♪ know ♪
if I got everything before I go out the do'.
Cars need keys, not cheese, just keys!
Get the keys, please. Not the cheese, jeez!
My back pocket is there, but the pocket is bare!
What goes in there? My wallet!
Get the wallet. There, I got it. Put the wallet in my pocket over my derrière.
Where's my cellphone? I bet it's in my hand.
Yup!
My lips are dry, but I gotta stay calm.
Get my lippity-lippity-lippity-lippity- lippity-lip balm.
- Is the oven on? - Nope!
- Did I zip my fly? - Yep!
Did I properly affix a Band-Aid to my third nipple because it gets exceptionally
hard and looks awkward? Check!
Got my stuff. Got it all. Let's go. Time to go.
Out the door. Now I'm gone. Goodbye. Seeya later.
Sayonara. Hasta la vista.
- I'mma sing that every morning! - And you're never gonna forget anything
ever again! Okay, next question up from Orion Biedrzycki, who asks, "What is the
- best life hack ever?" - Hm, well there's tons of life hacks
floating around the internet, so this is a great question. But the answer to the
greatest life hack ever is the one that works.
- Mhm. - Because there're so many life hacks that
look great, but they don't actually work. Which brings us to a brand new segment
where we're going to test the efficacy of life hacks, called:
"Life vs. Hack!"
Okay, today we're gonna be testing the chicken wing hack to see if it creates a
better wing-eating experience. I'm just gonna be eating wings like a regular
- person over here. - Yeah, so you're basically like the
control group, and I'm gonna be employing the chicken wing hack -- which I'll
- explain as I begin eating. - Okay. Are you ready?
♪ (rock music in background) ♪ - Yeah, it's not a race, but -- you know --
just go at your normal pace, here. I'm gonna pick up one of these. And, the point
of this is to de-bone it before starting to eat, so you break the joint here.
- Mm! - I'm still kinda new to this hack, but
figuring it out. Take that small wing and just twist it around, and -- whoop! --
push it through. Got a little meat on there, but don't tell anybody about that,
- I'll take that off. - I'm goin' a little bit slower than I
- normally would, because... - There you go!
...I eat so fast, I'm just goin' at what I think is a normal person's pace.
Twisting the big honkin' bone on the other side is more difficult, but it'll happen.
I'm kind of obliterating this wing a little but, but ain't gon' be no bone in
there when I'm done! There it comes out right there -- Ooh look at dat! And then,
- I got the whole wing, I'm just gonna... - We're very close on pace, though, I will
say. I don't know what I would think about a guy who started doin' this. Like, "Guy's
- really fiddling with his wings!" - (laughs) I know, it looks like --
- "He's quite a wing-fiddler." - (laughs)
Don't do this on a first date, unless you say...
It looks like a guy who's wrestling the wing into submission, like "DIE!"
It's the kinda thing you have to say like, "Listen, I'm gonna be a little bit weird
- with my wings, but then..." - "But if you're into that..."
"...(laughing) I'm gonna pull all the meat off, and you're gonna be so impressed with
- me." - "...then I'm the man for you."
- "I watch a lot of internet videos,..." - "Look at dis."
- "...no biggie! - "See that? A magic trick." That's what
- I'll say to the ladies... - "That a magic trick?" (laughs)
- ...if I were dating them. - Say, "That's a magic trick." (laughs)
- (laughs) - Include the "s" to impress the ladies.
- "That a magic trick!" - Ladies love correct grammar.
(crew laughs) - Maybe they don't! I'm off the market, I
- don't know what the ladies like. - Me neither!
- Yeah.
- Hm! Where'd that come from? (crew laughs)
I got a extra wing! I created a part of a wing as part of my hack.
Are you gonna eat that?
- You can pick it up and eat it yourself. - Hold on, it's meat!
- I know, I created it! - Okay. Here's what I'll say: we ate wings
- at approximately the same pace,... - Mhm.
...I was goin' a little bit slower than normal.
And you got the same amount of meat off of your bones that I got off of mine.
Now, there's actually some residual meat on my bones, whereas your's are a little
bit -- Well, I mean, it's pretty similar, let's just say that's a tie in that
- regard. - Yeah, that's a tie, there's a little bit
- there. - Uhm, I have a lot of sauce on my lips.
You don't seem to have any sauce on your lips.
I can't see the sauce on your lips, but...
- I feel the burn on my lips. - You do? I feel no burn on my lips. And
- my hands -- compare the hands? - Oh, your hands are messier than mine.
My hands -- I got like second-knuckle-deep in wing sauce, here.
Well, here's what I'll say. I think the question was, "Does this hack provide a
better wing-eating experience?" And I think the results were relatively similar,
but it seemed like your experience was better.
Yeah, I had fun; there was a little bit of challenge. I think I can impress people.
If I were dating, I could impress the ladies perhaps.
- Yes. - And the sensation of just (tongue click)
popping it into your mouth and not having to worry about anything...
- Like a boneless wing. - ...is just so fabulous.
- Yeah. - And, I get to work on the next one while
I'm eating that one, so it's very efficient.
- Okay, so our verdict is: (unison) Hack wins!
- lizpeachytyjo asks, "Beauty hacks?" - Okay, Liz, you might be thinking, "Rhett
and Link don't know anything about beauty hacks!"
- Pfffftsss! - Listen, you have no idea what we go
through every single day to make this happen.
- Mhm. - And that happen.
- Mhm. - But we're about to pull the curtain back
and show you some of our beauty tips! Check it out.
♪ (ambient music background) ♪ - What's up, Mythical Beasts? Hee-hee-hee!
Here at Mythical Entertainment, we have our own personal beauty hacks to help us
get our head-space into the sparkliest mind-place. We wanna share those with you
today.
Putting on my face is like building a house, so I always start with a strong
skincare foundation. I begin by priming my face-canvas with 100-grit sandpaper.
Before I apply my face, I like to mist myself with a light film of my signature
scent: Febreeze. Mmm!
Uneven sideburns are "off fleek." So I stretch a long strip of tape all the way
across my face, and use a level to keep it straight. Measure twice and cut once,
right?
In order to make sure my ear-passages are clear of hair, so I can hear what the day
has for me, I use my handy-dandy barbecue lighter to trim down my ear-thicket. That
tickles! (giggles)
Rogue eyebrow hairs can make you look like an out of touch college psychology
professor. But one eyebrow's trash is another eyelash's treasure! So I trim my
brows, and meticulously reattach the clippings to my lashes to really add that
extra "va-va-voom."
To keep my face-locks luxurious, I use this "Beastly But Balanced Beard Oil."
It's made from crystal diamonds from the center of the earth. It will balance your
unicorn chakra and make you president of the world one day. I'm legally required to
admit that this is my product. That doesn't mean that it's not perfect. I am
also legally required to admit that it's not perfect. Nor will it make you
president of the world. Or turn you into a unicorn. If you do turn into a unicorn for
more than four hours, seek medical attention immediately.
And one last quick shout-out to our designer friend, Kirkland, for these super
hot jeans. They're loose and tight in all the right places.
(unison) Thanks for watching! Be Your Mythical Best! Buh-bye now!
Well if our beauty tips are not enough for you, you can get some more tips from Grace

You know what time it is.
My name's Olivia, from Pinehurst, North Carolina, and it's time to spin the Wheel

I'm betting you need a way to keep your lips and beard at peak performance!
(laughing) Well, you can do that with Link's Peculiarly Perfect Peppermint
- Peanut Butter Lip Balm... - Mhm.
...and my beard oil, both available at rhettandlink.com/store
Listen to it. Click through to Good Mythical More; we're gonna open your mail.
Hilarious mail items and can you believe that that works? Well somebody made
- somethin' to play on it. - "Rhett is Link's horse."
- Hyah! Horsey! Horsey git over here! Now! - (horse blow sound)
Get in front of my chair, horse! 'Cause I'm gonna get ♪ on the saddle. Here we go,
this may be a bad idea! ♪ Woo! A'ight. Take off! Yah!
- (horse blow sound) - Hyah! Go! Go! Git! Git! Git! Git! Git!
- That's awkward. For a number of reasons. ♪ (outro music) ♪
The nicest touch of this whole thing, besides the self-milking, and the extra
nipples, and the eight-pack, is the fact that they took the time to put the sun in
- the corner. - Yeah.
Because the sun is always shining on a uni-cow milking itself.
