Summary
Mordecai and Rigby are watching TV at the diner, and learn that a Fist Pump concert is coming and the duo want to go to it for their own reasons. Despite Fist Pump rooting for younger people at ages eleven through fifteen, Rigby wants to go because he is a fan of Fist Pump, but Mordecai only goes because Margaret is going as well. Mordecai and Rigby asks Benson for overtime to get money for the tickets to go to the concert, and he does with encouragement from Skips and Pops, Quickly, they get the job done by drinking coffee. However, the regular tickets are sold out, and they need more money to buy the expensive tickets. They ask Benson for more chores, and he does by having them mow the lawn, but they run out of energy and coffee and end up being tired. However, The Giant Coffee Bean and his assistant are willing to supply them with coffee in exchange for something else. They do the lawn mowing and manage to get their money and get the tickets, but the giant coffee bean and his assistant want their share of tickets too, so they knock them unconscious with Camomile tea, the sleepiest tea, steal the tickets and their Fist Pump clothes and gadgets, and try to get to Slammers by stealing the golf cart. Mordecai and Rigby chase them with the lawn mower, and retrieve their tickets, along with calling the giant coffee bean and his assistant total "losers". But once they get to their seats, Mordecai learns that Margaret has a boyfriend, who insults him. Margaret tells him to stop being a jerk, then he and Rigby fall asleep once the concert starts, reducing every bit of their hard work into absolutely nothing.

Cartoon Network UK Edits
In the UK two lines were removed and made some changes were made
 * The part when Benson get run over and say You Morons! get back here and help me pick up my gumballs! was removed and instead Benson says You Idiots! get back here and help me pick up my gumballs!.
 * At the End Rigby says 'Oh Crap' then slepping as Fist Pump goes on stage. But the word Crap was removed and was removed with Crud which many UK airings use the word on many Regular Show broadcasts to avoid higher ratings.
