This week on BFX, we are getting all lovey dovey and bringing home the heart. The fake beating heart that is.
This week’s project was requested by Foozer 52, BandDFilms and Junior 365. Now, to honor these awesome viewers, we are going to make a fake heart that actually beats. And to determine are cardiological budget, here is my lovely assistant Gary to spin the wheel.
Here’s what you’ll need for this build. A small pack of party balloons, ten feet of clear tubing, two turkey basters, liquid latex, toilet paper and something to color your heart like red paint makeup or food color.
Male 1: Hey, what’s up Indy Mogul? We are the stack on pulpsecret.com. You guys like movies, right?
Chorus: Yes.
Male 1: And you know what movies are made from?
Chorus: Comic books.
Male 1: Yes. And you know what pulpsecret.com is about?
Chorus: Comic books.
Male 2: Do the math.
Male 1: Pulpsecret.com. Check it out.
Start by removing the rubber bladder on each baster. In its place, we’re going to attach two balloons, on stuffed inside the other. Next, take your clear tubing and secure a single balloon to the end with a rubber band. Blow some air into one of the balloons and then attach the tip of the baster to the other end of the tube. Squeezing the end with double balloons makes the single balloon side pulsate. When rubber banded together, you can see how this rig mimics a chambered heart. Also, it looks a bit like testicles. To avoid, we are going to glue the two balloons and then cover them in liquid latex toilet paper and red food coloring.
I also had to add another non-working balloon with latex and glue for aesthetic purposes. To finish up, I did a coat of red makeup.
Something that I want to point out is that I put the two balloons on the end of the baster because the rubber bladder that came with it did not inflate the heart as much as I’d like. But a different turkey baster might work just fine.

9 to 5 got you down, is your job stressing you out. Do you ever just want to get up and rip your worthless co-worker’s heart out? Unfortunately, that’s illegal, but thanks to patent kid’s secret Russian technology, the makers of crazy brains bring you a new wacky product for adults, happy hearts. A recent study showed that simply holding a human heart reduced murderous urges by 90%, that’s a big number. Sit back, relax and let the beating begin, the heart beating that is.

Next month, we have some really cool things planned, we are calling it Dig December and you can get all the details including our Christmas Eve viewer takeover on our website.
Mike: If your show is called Backyard FX, you should probably film it in a backyard.
