Back at the bobsled, Ken and Gerard prepare to take off. Ken suggests that maybe they can go slow, but Gerard nixes that. They take a ride. Gerard loves it: "Woooo!" They, too, reach the bottom without dying, and somewhere, a CBS insurance guy takes another swig of booze.
At the top of the hill, Jill and John Vito are anxious to get going, of course, as they always are. As JVJ takes the bobsled ride, Ken and Gerard gather themselves and go to find the cab that should be waiting for them. When JVJ finishes the ride and makes it to the road, however, they find that the Bald Snark is still there, and there are no cabs. Hmm. John Vito asks if they're just going to wait, and Ken says that they had an arrangement for the cabs to come back at 8:30, so he's not sure why they're not there.
Asshat cab. Ian is prodding his driver to go fast, and to "show [him] what these Austrian drivers can do." The driver looks like he might punch Ian. Mightn't we all. The twins, meanwhile, are pondering the fate of the Bald Snark and JVJ. "Maybe they'll get slowed up back there," Derek muses. Wow, this town they're driving through looks just like the one that one of the women in my office sets up on her bookcase at Christmas.
JVJ and the Bald Snark are indeed slowed up, now trying to flag down a passing car so that they can borrow a cell phone and try again to get a cab. "We might be up the mountain without a bobsled," says an increasingly edgy Kenny.
Commercials. Nothing like a commercial involving sex, diarrhea, and a hot tub to keep the family hour kid-friendly.
Still in Innsbruck, still at the top of Bobsled Mountain, Kenny and Gerard and Jill and John Vito are waiting for a sign from the taxi gods. Finally, one cab arrives. The Bald Snark gets in, promising Jill and John Vito that they'll have the driver call for another cab, and as they get in, they do. Of course, when they're on the road, Kenny tells the driver to "take [his] time calling," but they do apparently get the cab there pretty quickly, because the next thing you know, Jill and John Vito are picked up, checking to make sure that their driver knows the way to the gondola.
Asshat is first to the gondola station, followed closely by Derek and Drew. These two teams get on the gondola, and Ian talks about how he wants to get the show on the road before the other two teams show up. The Bald Snark is just pulling up, but not in time to make the same gondola as Derek and Drew and Teri and Ian. Ken and Gerard and John Vito and Jill make the next gondola together.
