The members of Aunty Donna (Broden, Zach, and Mark) realize that their dishwasher has become sentient while singing about drums. The dishwasher starts to become annoying, so they evict the appliance. Then, having a vacancy in their apartment, they decide to get another tenant to stay with them. They interview a variety of people including a puppet, a man with the claws of a chameleon, and "Cow-Doy," but nobody is right for their apartment. Later, Zach changes the wifi password to "poo-poo" and the neighborhood applauds their genius. Jerry Seinfeld comes out to congradulate them, but then rejects them when they ask to be on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. It is revealed that they chose Cow-Doy to live in the space their dishwasher used to occupy. Featured song: "Everything's a Drum" | ||||||

One billion years ago, a pirate stumbles into Aunty Donna's home and dies, leaving only a treasure map that the comedians find while singing about "morning brown" (or coffee, as Cow-Doy reveals). They decide to search for the treasure, but all have ulterior motives to out the others and take the money for themselves. Then, randomly, they go out to interview people on the streets when the executive producer, Ed Helms appears to chastise them for getting distracted from the plot of the show. They make up, but then Ed reveals that his name is really Egg. Meanwhile, Mark becomes confused while looking for the pirate "booty" and calls in booty finders from South Africa who both tell him that they are really from New Zealand but the other one doesn't know. Zachary then gets a call from Ellen DeGeneres on her game show, who awards Zachary with countless gifts for calling. Featured song: "Morning Brown" | ||||||

When Broden finds out, the others are able to convince him that it was a "night thief" who stole the noodles, and compensate him with unwrapped cheese. Later, Broden goes mad while getting Zach and Mark drinks and turns the house into a bar. Zach then kills a health inspector, not realizing that he was in on the entire thing. Mark snaps awake and thinks that the entire occurrence was just a dream until Broden stalks through the doorway covered in blood, furious at Mark from shying away from the dead inspector's body.

Later, the trio book a session at a stylist to get ready for the queen's visit and Broden and Mark ditch Zach to drive around for an hour.
