Prepare for launch. Ready, everybody? Ready. Ready. Okay. Get ready to fly. Three, two, one. So that's how my family started our Christmas vacation in the South Pacific. Not exactly the way mom and dad planned it. GZM Shows presents Hidden Island, an original audio adventure for the whole family. Search for Imagination Amplified Hidden Island to hear more.

But they are not us. And one of them is missing.
But I don't remember. There was an accident. We were on a boat and you fell over the side. Isn't that right, James? Yes, Holiday. Your brother Cyrus saved you from the water. Your brother. My brother? I know this is confusing. We're going to let you rest. But... We'll be back soon, sweetheart. The nurse will be in to give you something to help you sleep. I don't understand. Why can't... Why can't I remember anything? What is that sound? Is someone... knocking on the window? Hold on.
Let me get the curtains. Hello, Holiday. I'm Nerf. What are you doing out of bed? There's a boy at the window. What? I saw his face right there. Look. He's... He's gone. Honey, we're on the fifth floor. If you saw a boy out the window, then that boy can fly. Got you some chips from the machine. I wanted barbecue. They only had sour cream and onion. Fine. Were you scared? When? When you jumped into the water.
I don't know. Didn't really think about it. Yeah, me neither. Hi, guys. Is Holiday awake? Can we see her? Soon. But first, there's something we need to discuss with you two. Something wrong with her? Well, it's complicated. Holiday, the girl in the water. It turns out that, um... She doesn't remember anything.
Not even who she is. Amnesia. That's right, Cyrus. Amnesia. I've been making inquiries with law enforcement agencies since we found her. Nobody knows where she came from. She doesn't seem to have a family looking for her. Maybe she is a mermaid. Birdie. What, you got a better idea? Your father and I have been talking, and for now, Holiday's going to, um... We'd like Holiday to live with us. Really?
She's a total stranger. This is probably only temporary until she regains her memory. Probably? She's scared and alone. We want her to feel like she has a family. She's gonna be my big sister? No. Well... Yes. When she woke up, she asked if we were her parents. We said yes. This is lit! Bertie, why don't you go see if they have barbecue chips in the cafeteria? I don't want to go.
Bird, please. Here, take the money. You always do this to me. Send me away just when it's getting good. Fine, but I'm getting a cupcake for holiday, too. Mom, Dad, you aren't seriously talking about letting Holiday think she's always been a part of our family? It's better for her. Does this have anything to do with that marking on- Just trust us, Cyrus. We're going to bring in Mom's friend, Dr. Farber, to help.
It's what we need to do. We know we're asking a lot of you, right? But we can't have any more questions. Do you understand? Yeah. Okay. Go get chips, Birdie. You're too young to understand, Birdie. Hello there. Where did you come from? Me? Just hanging outside, waiting for my family.
What are you doing out here? Well, my family sent me to find barbecue chips, but the cafeteria hadn't been left, and... You want mine? You have barbecue chips? Go ahead. I like pretzels better anyway. Then you're weird. I get that a lot. What's with the little snowboard? It's a project for school. So, what brings you to the hospital? I almost drowned today. I'm Birdie, by the way. They call me Badger.
You look okay for almost round, Bernie. Well, I'm fine. But I found this girl in the water, and she has ambrosia, and my parents decided in, like, a millisecond to adopt her. So she's gonna, like, be your big sister? And her name is Holiday. How awesome is that? Holiday. She said that's her name. Yeah, why? Birdie, what are you doing out here? Oh, hey mom, I just got the last bag of barbecue chips from... Where did he go?
Wake up, kids. That's it. Open your eyes. Huh? You're the boy I saw. Outside my window. But that's impossible. We're on the fifth floor. Is this a dream? I used to think that too. I know none of this makes any sense right now. Who are you? I'm a friend. I came to make sure you're safe. That's all that matters. Safe? They'll look after you. But you'll see me again. One year from today. I'll be back to find you. Have fun. Wait. Where are you going? Get off the window, Ledge. You're gonna fall!
One year, Holiday. One year. Did he just...fly away? This is Ava DeMerry, and I play Brinley in six minutes. For more great podcasts, check out gzmshows.com. Shh. It's starting. GZM Shows. Imagination. I'm Debra Goldstein, host of the game show, The Big Fib. And with me is our sound effects robot, Lisa, whose name stands for live in studio audience. And every week we bring on two grownups. One is an expert and the other is a liar.
And it's the job of a human child to help us figure out who is who. because no one can spot a liar better than a kid. We've had past experts share fascinating facts about volcanoes, sharks, pizza, and more. And we've had some no good liars try and trick us with lies about YouTube, Roblox, and even underwear.
Lying about underwear? Listen to The Big Fib on Apple Podcasts or on GZMShows.com and see if you can figure out who's telling the truth and who's telling big fibs. I mean, who lies about underwear?
