Join host Mike Rowe for an unsanitary look at the dirty jobs that someone has to do. From one fine mess to another, Rowe demonstrates how sewer inspectors, garbage collectors and other unkempt heroes keep the world clean for the rest of us. It's a fun, foul look at some of the grimiest, grungiest, grossest jobs around.
In Shrimper, Mike climbs aboard a shrimp boat in South Carolina to help the department of natural resources determine when this year's shrimping season will begin. After getting a quick lesson in the tricks of the trade, it's on to the messy business of actually catching the little critters. Then, in North America's largest swamp, Mike learns how to catch crawfish – but soon finds himself wading through the muck when his boat gets stranded. Bio-Diesel Man finds Mike in the kitchen of a Mexican restaurant, cleaning out the deep fryer. His greasy goal? To turn the used cooking oil from a thousand tacos into viable fuel. Along the way, he learns how to make his car run on the disgusting gunk.
