The hosts, Rhett and Link, discuss surprisingly filthy things people use every day. They play a game called "Fill in the Blank with Dirty Things" where Link has to answer questions about various items that are surprisingly dirty. The questions and answers include:
* Keyboards having 200 times more bacteria than toilet seats
* The underside of the faucet in bathrooms being dirtier than garbage cans
* ATMs having buttons with large amounts of bacteria that cause diarrhea
* Lemon wedges in restaurants being covered in human fecal matter
* Making your bed creating a dark, moist environment that bacteria love
* Kitchen sponges being the dirtiest thing in the kitchen with 100 million bacteria per square inch
* Hotel room light switches being covered in fecal bacteria
Link answers some questions correctly, but also makes some humorous mistakes. In the end, he gets to wear a "toilet hat" as a prize for playing the game. The episode ends with a promotional segment for their merchandise and a comedic soap opera-style skit.
