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?

Okay, looks like the mall is only one level. That makes it easier. Look at all these people shopping for Christmas gifts at the last minute. I mean... Whatever happened to planning ahead and making lists and... Monica? Sorry. Pet peeve. Back to the search. Mom and Dad, how about you take everything east of the food court and Birdie and I will... Ooh! Pretzel place! We can...
get everything near the pretzel place. Birdie, we're trying to find your brother in Brinley. I think pretzels can wait. I just love the smell. You can keep in touch with each other through those walkie-talkies I gave Holiday. Are you sure they're safe to use, Grandpa JP? Yeah, what if someone from Whittier Corp picks up our frequency? I assure you it's going to be fine. Yeah, well, it's gonna be fine is exactly what I was told the moment before Badger took off. Tomorrow's...
Christmas, and he's still not back. Sweetie, we can trust Dr. Whittier. Just try not to call attention to yourselves. Got it, Dad. We'll keep Hovey under wraps and meet back here in an hour. Okay. See you then. Come on, Bird. We've got some serious investigation. How hard can it be to search half of a one-story mall? We're not staying at the mall. Another plot twist I'm not in on?
Shhh! Look, Cyrus didn't forget to buy Christmas presents. He and Brinley are off following a lead. Hey, what about our pact? I would have told you, but you were busy with milkshakes and cool toys. Okay, guilty as charged, but still, what's this lead they were following? I'm not sure, but Cyrus did blurt out something about a police station. Oh, that sounds kind of bad. Kind of very. Is there anything else you're keeping from me? No. Okay, yes. We need to talk about batter.
When I said we needed to find the Anders family, I didn't expect to be knee-deep in a swamp. Where's Mr. Board when I need him? Badger, tell me you did not name your hoverboard... Mr. Board. No, Adam, I didn't. Birdie did. She said hoverboards liked being... You got a problem with Mr. Board? Nah. It's a great name. Super original. Almost as original as Whittier Corp calling us the four, because, you know, there are four of us. Come on, Adam. Don't start. Whoa!
Sorry, Kim, forgot you were in front of me. Gotta get used to the whole blending thing again. Gotta say. It's good to have you back, Bing. He's not totally back. Not as long as he's holding on to Anders' family La La Land. Whatever, Adam. Are you sure they're out here in the swamp? My tracking is never wrong.
I followed the trail of cheesy body spray molecules from the police station straight here, so... Guys, check it out. What happened? More like a shack. Looks like the lights are on. Can you see through the window, Adam? These eyes can see New Mexico through Texas. Well, well, well. Look who's back. Who? What do you see? Our buddy. The fire-starting wit kid. Magnus! That tool? I'd like to sneak up on him and punch him in the throat. He doesn't have holiday with-
No, but there are two other kids in there. The brother Silas. Cyrus. Whatever. And the girl from the woods. Oh, right. What was her name again? Bindi? Brinley? Magnus? to Cyrus and Brinley? Yeah, it looks that way. And it's up to us, the three, to save them. You did not. Seriously, just call us the three. Spill it, girl. Where's Holiday? Cool your flames, Crow Magnus. I'll lead you right to her. What about our conversation in the jail cell call me selfish, but I'd like to get out of here alive
I'm sorry if that means sacrificing your sister and the rest of your annoying family. The same annoying family who took you in? Kept you safe? Holiday has done nothing but ruin my life since the day I met her. Let's all just pack up our lives and travel across this country to protect the golden child.
No more life for anyone except holiday. Well, I'm done with it. I want out. Brinley, please don't do this. Here's the deal, Cro-Mag. I want safe passage back to Juno. In fact, I want Angelica Graves to personally bring her private jet here to fly me home. I want a big...
juicy rare steak, and a slice of double chocolate cake on board. And I want an internet connection so I can broadcast a new episode of Brainy Brainy from the Sky. Kill me now. I want my dad waiting for me when I arrive home. And by home, I mean in a new house. Someplace from-
With about a hundred acres. Homey, but modern too. Are you serious? I was gonna ask the same question. You want us to buy you a house? You burned down the last one. And most of all, I want Angelica's personal guarantee that my father-
and I will be safe and that we will be left alone. What about the rest of us, Brinley? What about you? It's every woman for herself in this world. Right, Maggie? You really think you get to make the demands here? I know I do. And I want an answer now, so go outside.
and get Angelica on the phone. If we have a deal, I want her to accept face to face. Then, and only then, will I lead you right to your precious holiday. I can't believe this. I thought- I know what you thought. It's wrong to underestimate me, Cyrus. You know, you'd make a pretty good- Good wit, kid. I'd make it pretty good anything. Go, Smokey. Make the call. Be right back. Man, Anders, this has got a sting.
You're a terrible, terrible person who only cares about herself, Brinley! How can it, Sinus? We don't have much time. We need to figure out an escape plan before Firepick gets back. What? That was all an act? Try to keep up, will you? If we're going to get out of this mess, we're gonna have to do it together. I cannot believe I'm wasting time helping you save these two people Consider it your good deed for the day. Brinley and Cyrus were good to me, Adam.
There's no way I could leave them in danger. Get down! Firestarter is coming out on the porch to make a call. Where's an extinguisher? We need one. Watch out, Cam. He'll see you. You know if I don't want him to. Right. Keep forgetting. He's talking to Angelica Graves. You should have seen the look on Anderson. Guys we gotta make our move like now Okay, bird. I'm gonna boost you up to the window so you can check out what's going on in the police station.
Can't we just ride hubby up there? What if someone sees us? How is me sticking my head in the window- Just go. Fine. You know what badger over here? One. Two. Hey, careful! Okay, uh, I can see a bunch of cops. What are they saying? I don't know. I can't hear them over my stomach growling. We should have gotten a pretzel before we left them all. Just listen, Bertie. I'm listening, I'm listening. What is it? They're talking about two kids who escaped custody when the station caught fire.
custody like they were arrested for what what's breaking and entering that sounds bad Wait, did you say the station caught fire? You heard me say it smells like smoke, right? And duh, fire truck... Can I come down now? Okay. Gotcha. Did they say what caused the fire? Nobody knows. There was some teenager pretending to be a cop. Oh no. What? Who's the first person you think of when you hear the word fire?
The devil? Close. Magnus! Yep. This is the part where you say Mom and Dad are going to rescue Cyrus and Brindley while we get some sleep and wait for Santa. Please, please? Birdie. Oh, come on. It's Christmas Eve. Don't be a Grinch. It has to be us, Bird. If Magnus really has Cyrus and Brindley, we have to save them before it's too late. Hey, everyone. This is Amy Hutchins.
