Hi, it's Earth Ranger Emma from the Earth Rangers podcast. Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd, and we here at Earth Rangers HQ could not be more excited. Did you know that the first Earth Day was in 1970? It was started by a U.S. senator after a huge oil spill in California. And after years of students across America joining in to bring attention to protecting the planet,
Starting in 1990, Earth Day has been celebrated around the whole world. For more cool facts about the Earth, listen to the Earth Rangers podcast on Apple Podcasts or gzmshows.com. Hate all the ads?

I can't believe it. We're actually going to have a real Christmas. Not turkey sandwiches from a gas station. I was beginning to think we'd never catch a break. Speaking of catching break... Have you been thinking about Whittier's offer? I mean, our bank account is a bit... sobering these days. Oh, I know I spent a lot on presents, but after all the kids have been through... No, no, I'm not complaining about that. I agree. It's Christmas.
It's just, we haven't worked in months. We can't go forever without any income. Kind of hard to hold a job when we're hiding from Whittier Corp and wanted by the federal government for grand theft helicopter. Well... Big transition for the kids. Bigger than living in a van? They speak the same language over there. Top of them earning to ya. Okay, first of all, that's Irish. And second, never do that again. Sorry. But I think we should consider it. The kids could finally grow up with some peace.
I mean, we need to talk to them about it first, but... Bertie? Bertie, I'm coming! James, where are you going? What's going on? Jean? Where's Birdie? I... Why is the window wide open? She was... James, what happened to Birdie? When I got here, she was being dragged out of the window. Dragged? By what? By... Something with metal claws.
Here, Monica, grab my hand. We should be able to see where Bertie went from here on the roof. Where is it coming from? Oh, James, our little girl? I see her! Over there! The claw still has her! How do we get her down? I'm not sure. Wait, it's coming back... Do you see what grabbed her? Is it Whittier Corp? I don't know. It looks like... Holiday's Hoverboard? That's because it is Holiday's Hoverboard! Holiday? You guys should have seen your faces right now. Huffy 2, push!
Birdie down on the roof. Birdie. Birdie. Oh, come here, sweetheart. Oh. My. Gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. What the Oreos holiday? I was getting ready to go to sleep for Santa. And then the next... I know I'm like one of those prizes in the claw machine being dragged out of my window. Holiday, care to explain yourself? It was a joke. Grandpa JP built me a new hoverboard and I wanted to show it off.
He gave me this cool walkie-talkie, too. Grandpa, you there? I'm here, Holiday. I was just telling Mom and Dad about Hubby, too. It utilizes the same program as the original Hubby. I programmed it using brainwave patterns, so it's got a... almost telepathic connection to Holiday. And I gave it retractable arms. Spectacular, right? There is nothing spectacular about being rudely grabbed on Christmas Eve, no less. And dragged out of the window by a creepy...
Unless we can do it to Cyrus. Oh, please. Can we do it to Cyrus? Totally. Totally? The virus isn't back yet. What? Surely the malls are closed by now. Where can they be? We're here. Anyone ever tell you you're a terrible boat driver? Too bumpy for you, Brinley? I had to steer around all the gators. Can we take the blindfolds off now, Magnus? You'll take them off when I tell you to take them off. Now step off the boat and onto the dock. I can't see. Take my hand. It's nice and cool for now.
Attaboy. See? Solid ground. Now you, Bryn Bryn. What are you afraid we're going to see? The smell tells me we're in a swamp. Although I can barely smell it over your cheesy body spray. Out! Move it. Okay, okay. Walk. Into the shack. You didn't have to push us. I didn't have to, but it's more fun. Uh, where are we? Whittier Corp's safe house. Now that we're here, let's lose the blindfolds. We must be in the bayou outside New Orleans.
What are you going to do with this once you're done, huh? Ditch us with the gators in the swamp? Why do you give him ideas? If I wanted to get rid of you, I have a more fun way, remember? Oh, right. Thanks for the reminder. We almost forgot about your firepower after you burned down our homes. So what's the plan, Sparky? What do you want? The plan is, I make it very unpleasant for you both until you tell me where Holiday and Dr. Whittier are. Oh, you just expect us to tell you?
It's two against one, you know. We can overpower you. Oh yeah? Go ahead and try. It'll be fun to see how quickly this wooden shack goes up in flames. Get down, Cyrus. Who wants to talk first? About what? Fashion? Food? Culture? Enough. You think we're playing a game here? We know you and your family were in California and Texas and Arkansas. And then two weeks ago...
We lost you. It's like the Anders family just fell off the face of the earth. And then suddenly, tonight, you show up in our system. From Nolens, Luciana of all places. And there you were. present just for me. You wish. Why here? Why now? You tell me, Dragness. Dragness, that's the best you can do. At least I'm trying here. Here's my theory. I think you figured out how we were tracking you.
and you tried to lay low. But you needed something. Information. The question is, what was so important in that records room? Why would you risk your family's freedom after finally getting off Whittier Corp's radar? It's about holiday. Isn't it? It's about the four. We'd tell you, but... Oh, oh, wait, no, no, we wouldn't tell you at all. Unless we would. What? Brinley! Save the Brinleys. I'm so over this. Over what?
Your creepy, crazy family and having to risk my life for them over and over and over and ugh. I'm not an Anders. And I don't want to be involved in your uber drama anymore. I'm done covering for you guys. I get nothing. I was going to be number one in my class, go to the best college, be rich and successful. And your family has taken all of that for me. I want it back. Smart girl. Okay, Human Torch. You want Holiday Ander? I'll tell you exactly where to find her.
