Summary
Mordecai and Rigby are watching TV at The Coffee Shop, and learn that a Fist Pump concert is showing at Slammers and the duo want to go to it for their own reasons. Despite Fist Pump targeting younger people at ages eleven through fifteen, Rigby wants to go because he is a fan of Fist Pump since 3rd grade, but Mordecai only goes because Margaret is going as well. Mordecai and Rigby asks Benson to work 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; fortunately, a Giant Coffee Bean and his translator 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 tickets too, so they knock them unconscious with Camomile tea, steal the tickets along with 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 but she tells him to stop being a jerk; then, the former and Rigby fall asleep once the concert starts, reducing every bit of their hard work into absolutely nothing.
