In the first episode of Bad Ideas with Adam Devine, titled "Hot Pepper Contest with Thomas Middleditch," the two comedians embark on a spicy challenge. Adam Devine explains that he wants to test his limits by eating the hottest peppers in the world, and he invites his friend and fellow comedian Thomas Middleditch to join him in a pepper-eating contest. The two will try to eat increasingly hotter peppers until one of them gives up.

The episode starts with Adam and Thomas heading to a local farmer's market to find the spiciest peppers they can. They meet with a pepper expert who introduces them to different types of peppers, and explains the Scoville scale, which measures the spiciness of peppers. Adam and Thomas sample some peppers and realize just how hot they are. They start to wonder if this contest is a good idea after all.

Despite their concerns, the two comedians decide to go through with the contest. They gather a selection of peppers from mild to extremely hot and start by eating the mild ones. Adam is pretty confident at first, but as they move on to the hotter peppers, both comedians start to feel the heat. They drink water and eat bread to try and ease the pain, but it only seems to make things worse. Adam starts to sweat and his eyes water, while Thomas starts to hiccup uncontrollably.

As they eat the hottest peppers, Adam and Thomas start to hallucinate and act erratically. They joke around and have a lot of fun despite the intense pain, but it's clear that they're both suffering. Eventually, one of them can't take it anymore and quits the contest. The winner is crowned pepper champion, but at what cost?

Throughout the episode, Adam and Thomas talk about their experiences with spicy food and share funny anecdotes about their own bad ideas. They also discuss how the contest relates to their careers as comedians, and how pushing boundaries and taking risks can lead to great comedy.

Overall, the first episode of Bad Ideas with Adam Devine is a hilarious and entertaining rollercoaster ride. It showcases Adam and Thomas' talent for improvisation and their willingness to take on outrageous challenges. The show promises to deliver more wild and crazy ideas in the episodes to come.
