In this episode, the hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Wanda Sykes team up to make some outrageous prank calls. They start off with Jimmy calling a real estate agent and claiming that he had just won the lottery and is interested in buying a house. However, he is difficult to please and keeps asking for ridiculous features like a swimming pool filled with chocolate milk. The real estate agent gets increasingly frustrated with Jimmy's requests and eventually hangs up on him.
Next up, Wanda calls a pet store and pretends to be a customer looking for a new pet. She asks the store employee a series of bizarre questions, such as whether they sell chickens that can swim. The employee is confused by Wanda's questions but tries to answer them as politely as possible. Wanda continues to push the limits with her inquiries, eventually leading the employee to recommend that she try a different pet store.
Later on, Jimmy calls a karate school and pretends to be a father interested in enrolling his son. He asks the instructor if they teach dangerous moves that could potentially hurt other children. The instructor becomes increasingly suspicious of Jimmy's questions and eventually hangs up on him. Undeterred, Jimmy then calls back pretending to be a different father, but the same conversation ensues, and he gets hung up on again.
Wanda then makes another call, this time to a lingerie store. She pretends to be an older woman who is looking for a 'sexy' outfit to wear for her husband's birthday. She hilariously asks the store employee for suggestions and feedback on the various outfits, making the employee uncomfortable in the process. The employee eventually recommends that Wanda try a different store, but Wanda continues to push the limits and even asks if the employee would be willing to model the outfits for her.
The episode concludes with Jimmy calling a fast-food restaurant and pretending to be a health inspector. He tells the employee that they have received numerous complaints about the quality of the food and demands that they immediately stop serving customers until they pass an inspection. The employee becomes panicked and starts to apologize profusely, but Jimmy eventually reveals the prank and they both share a good laugh.
