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?

Really, that whole thing was an act? Did you really think I'd sell you out to old hot hands out there, Cyrus? Kinda? You always think I'm this terrible person who only cares about herself. I don't think that. You literally just called me a terrible person who only cares about herself. Well, yeah, but that was when I thought... Never mind. Thank you for protecting us. Like you said in jail, you and your family didn't abandon me. I wouldn't bail on you either.
Wow, uh, I... Anyway, can we figure out how to stop Magnus? He'll be back any second. Okay, how's this? I distract him by beautifully singing my favorite Carrie Underwood song, and then you jump on his back. So he can set me on fire? That's an awful plan. Are you trying to get me killed? There's got to be a way out of here. What are those canisters in the corner? He must use them for the fan boat he took us here on.
Aha! Got it! Oh, this is brilliant. We have to get on that boat. No kidding, but how? That's the brilliant part. We use the gas as a distraction. When there's a fire starter like Magnus around, gas is not a distraction. It's an... Explosion. No, because his boss needs me. Angelica Graves thinks I can find Holiday. And guilt is a powerful motivator, even for someone like Magic. Brinley, I hope you're not thinking. Yes, I am. Cyrus, I think it's time to start our own fire.
Magnus is still on the phone. So everyone knows the plan, yeah? Cam? Gotta be. Adam? Whatever. Do you know the... Do I know the plan? Yes, I came up with the plan. I always come up with the plan. But this is a mistake. Trust me, as long as Cyrus and Brinley don't see us, nothing has to change. We can still accomplish what we came for. Holiday. Yep.
Holiday, please fly Hovey 2.0 a little higher. There are freaky swamp critters everywhere. This is not how I wanted to spend Christmas Eve. See, even Bruce is freaked. And this is basically his natural life. Hey, look over there! A house! Technically, that's a shack. And can I remind you, it's Christmas Eve. I want to get back to Grandpa JP's and leave cookies for Santa. The lights are on.
Get closer, hubby. Ah, gator! But not too close. There he is. There's Magnus on the porch. I know Mom says it's not nice to say you hate people. But I really hate that guy. I think Mom will be okay with it in this situation. And let me remind you that his fire can hurt you. I remember. Lower us to the ground, Hovey. Here we go.
Hurry up, Cyrus. Magnus could be back any second. Using gas to start a fire is the worst idea ever. Are you saying you can't do it? No, I'm not saying that. Oh, really? Because it sounds like you can't do it. Like you would have been able to take this walkie-talkie apart. I picked a lock. Whatever. Got it. I got the walkie-talkie wires to spark. I knew you could do it. So all I have to do is pour out a little gas from the can.
and use the spark from the wires. But maybe don't use so much gas that you instantly ignite the whole shack. Let me remind you this was your idea. Just do it, stem boy. Okay. It's working! You did it! Oh, that fire is starting to spread. Did you pour out too much gas? No. Well, maybe. What's going on in here? Go, Brinley! Look at what you did, you maniac! I told you I'd...
Are you trying to kill us? Why would you start a fire? I didn't start that fire. So a fire happens, and the guy whose power is he starts fires is totally innocent? Well, I didn't mean to. It's getting bigger. Put it out. I don't put out fires. Create fires. Well, if you don't let us out of here, I'm going to end up burning up inside the shack. And then how can I lead Angelica Graves to Holiday? Okay, get out of here. Wait outside on the boat. Finally. Come on, Cyrus. Not so fast.
The Geek stays. What? You can't make him stay in here. He could explode. I don't need him. Go, Brinley. No. I'm not leaving unless Cyrus goes with me. Don't be stupid. You said you wanted to save yourself, didn't you? So save yourself. Unless you were lying to me. Ow! Let go of my wrist, it's hot! Let her go! I'm not letting either of you go. It's going to be so sad, breaking the news to Casey. And she was just starting to get better. You're a monster.
Let go, please! Let go of her! What was that? Who opened the door? I don't see anyone. Is someone here? Hello? Cyrus, do we know anybody who can move things with their mind? Um, no. Because I think I see a frying pan floating in the air. That had to hurt. I still don't see anyone. Forget who said it, you dummies. Just get out. Did we just get saved by a ghost? Stop talking, Brindley. He's getting up. Take my hand and run. Okay, okay.
But who was that? Who did that? Let's do this face to face. Wouldn't I love to? I heard that. Gonna have to be quicker than that. Where are you? Show yourself. Or what? Or I blow this place and everything around it to pieces. Hurry, Brinley, come on, get on the boat! How do you start this thing? Cyrus, Brinley! Holiday? Yes, I knew we'd find you! Celebrate later, Birdie. We gotta get out of here! Where's Magnus? Cam, come on, we gotta go! Shh!
Did you guys just hear Badger's voice? Badger? Badger, I'm right behind you. Whoa. Look, it is really Badger. On the other side of the shack. Badger, it's me, Holiday. Oh, boy. Holiday? You've got five seconds. Who is that? Who just said by name? It's another kid with badger. Come on, boat, start. How does he know who I... Guys, I really think when you... Gas cans. Everybody, hit the swamp. Five.
