last time we boned?
Excuse me, I forgot my, uh... vape.
I mean, what do you suppose I say?
"Hey, Gwen, Eddie's cheating on you?
Eddie's a giant cheating McCheater..."

Okay, people...
Our lovely colleague,
the incomparable, the unstoppable,
the one, the only Jen Hauser,
is competing in the Olympics today!
[APPLAUSE]
WAYNE: Yeah, she continues her epic quest
to see how far she can throw a giant toothpick.
Wayne! I'm tasking you with setting up the TV
in the break room.
We can't miss a minute of this,
especially after she worked herself
to near death to get there.
She makes me feel like I can do anything.
Never let that light die, Keeran.
Light? I think the word you're looking for is...
Someone broke into my gym locker,
stole all my possessions, including my hearing aids,
my back-up hearing aids, and my post-workout banana
- I was really looking forward to! - CYNTHIA: Oh!
I feel naked without my hearing aids.
And my clothes.
This is my nightmare, guys.
Even with lip-reading, I'm gonna catch maybe 15%
of what you guys are saying.
- Can't you just... - [RINGING NOISE]

Did you say "home"? "Go home"?

Didn't catch that, but it's about the body hair, yeah?

Yeah, I know. It's a lot.

We're all behind you.
While I have you, did you happen to tell anyone
about the whole Eddie cheating thing,
and specifically that I told Gwen?
[VOICE BREAKING UP] I didn't... con... I'm not...

One fail was great, but two fails?
Ooh, that would bring tears to my eyes!

I see four leather daddies. I'm goin' in.
Caven?!

- Kinky. - Not kinky!
Well, actually, a little bit kinky.
They are the third-most violent gang in southwestern Ontario!
Okay, hell no. There's no way.
DJ can just do, like, a fundraiser or something
for new hearing aids, 'cause I'm not risking my life
for that twat waffle, so... [CHUCKLES]
Good, good choice, Nat. Play it... safe.
Safe, safe, safe, safe!
Of course, you used to be able to sneak in and out
through the window with the red curtains
and the broken latch.
It's around the corner from the blue door, but...
that took some real steel lady balls.
- [LOUD CRUNCH] - Go on...
If you did go in, you would get past the guard,
Little Petey, no problem.
He is always napping on the job.
You can't miss him. Giant sleep apnea machine.
Next, you'd pass Sweet Rita.
She is a real battle axe.
Tell her that you are "the Mailman."
That's code for "a friend of the gang."
What about the real Mailman?
He is "a friend of the gang."
If they spot you, you text me, "chirp, chirp!"
And I will find you.
Hey, Cynthia?
Is it worth it?

GWEN: Yeah.
[SNIFFLES]
Ah!
I'm sorry I blurted out about Eddie cheating,
all 75 times.
I wasn't trying to hide it from you.
I debated it, but only 'cause I didn't want to hurt you.
You're not the one who hurt me.
I can't believe I didn't see the signs.
I feel so stupid.
No, no, you're not stupid.
And if it makes you feel any better,
you're talking to the guy who ran through several playgrounds
in just a towel this morning.
[LAUGHS] What kind of towel?
What kind of towel would make it okay?
None.
That does make me feel better.
Hey, didn't you get all your clothes back?
How come you're still rockin' the jorts?
This is who I am now.
Ah. [CHUCKLES]
ANNOUNCER: In a stunning turn of events,
Jen Hauser is quite literally back from the dead,
and incredibly, cleared to throw by the doctor.
What kind of doctor, you ask?
Don't.
- Probably a naturopath. - Western medicine.
ANNOUNCER: Here she goes for her third and final throw.
Hauser lets go of the javelin and it flies...
Whoa, is that...?
- DJ: Go, Jen, go! - ANNOUNCER: Yes, it is!
Hauser has just thrown 65.73 metres,
edging out Latvia by a hair!
That's right, despite food poisoning,
a severe concussion, and a smiting from God himself,
Jen Hauser from Canada places second at the Olympic games.
- [ALL CHEERING] - Oh my God!
[ALL EXCLAIMING EXCITEDLY]
That's almost first!
CYNTHIA: She did it!

Tuesday. She's in at noon.
Yeah, she took my shift.
