Jason: I was just out bowling with my friends, and I left. They continued bowling. And, apparently, some crazy stuff happened after I left, because I got a very strange voicemail that I want you to listen to.
Voice: Jason, we have kidnapped your friends. If you want to see them again, bring your gold medal to the bowling alley.
Jason: So, it looks like I’m going back to the Olympics, because despite all my experience in Beijing long jumping, bicycling, badminton, I came away without a gold medal. And if that’s the only way to get my friends back, I’ve got to go to Vancouver and get one. So I’m putting together a new suit here for the Winter Olympics. It’s gonna help me go for the gold. When you go for the gold, you try as hard as you can to get the very best thing. You don’t want silver or bronze, ‘cause that’s not gonna rescue my friends! So I’m ready. Here we go. Vancouver 2010, this is English, baby! going for the gold!
