We've been informed that all planes have been grounded until tomorrow. Please see a desk attendant.
I still can't believe I'm back in Texas. I've always thought I'd make such a rad rodeo rider. You know, in my spare time when I'm not accepting the Nobel Prize for Physics and Chemistry. So, you and Cyrus, huh? The last time I was here, Birdie wouldn't... Stop singing that song. The stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas. Let's just get this out in the open, Brintley. Are you and Cyrus like a couple now? What if we are? I just want to know.
Would it make you want to not rescue him? Did you seriously just ask me that question? Not everyone is as selfish as you. And not everyone has a hero complex like you. A hero complex? What does that even mean? Look, we need to get to Cyrus and no planes are flying out tonight.
Drive to the golf. It's what, eight hours or so? Great plan, except we're kids and we can't drive. I can. But you're... 13. I know. It's part of our mission training as WIT kids. I've been driving since I was like eight. Wow. Never thought I'd be... jelly of a white kid. But it's not like they're just gonna let us rent a car. Wait! I just remembered. I have an old friend in Amarillo. He'll hook us up!
Adam, you're seriously saying you'll give me complete control of the holiday project? Let me and Cyrus bring bots into the world that are only out to make it a better place? Why? It wasn't the same when you left the island. Badger told me why I left. That you were talking about scary things, helping along the chaos in the world, so that humans might not even survive. I don't care about that anymore. I got it out of my system with Dr.
We can have everything we need right here without ever dealing with people again. We're family, and I want our family to grow. Don't you want that? Or would you rather it just be the four of us forever? Guys, we have a problem. What's up, Badger? to make sure he hadn't woken up. He's gone. I can't believe how dense this jungle is! The cobwebs from my brain. The water must be this way. Earth's that way. Wait, it's an island. The water is everywhere. Why do they bring me here? What do they want?
Uh, hello? A tiger? How can there be a tiger on this island? More tigers on this island. Oh, they're circling me. Hi, guys. Help. What do you mean he's gone? Cyrus doesn't know this island. It's not safe. Something really bad could happen to him. Calm down. I'll find him. No, Adam. You shouldn't have brought him here, Adam. Stop worrying about the humans. The good news is he's awake now, and we can use him. Just sit tight. Mr. Board, we need to take a trip. Ernie's Diner, huh?
You and Cyrus worked here? It was a dark time in the life of Ruthie B. Who's Ruthie B? Me. I mean, Stephen and Miley and I. We did run a pretty good scan. Miley? Right. So, Stephen... Cyrus went by the name Stephen Hawking. Of course he did. What'd he do here? Dishwasher. Even Hawking, the astrophysicist slash dishwasher. He took it very seriously, prune hands and all. And we totally fooled Dr. Zaslow. Well, for a while anyway. So was it fun being on the run with the Anders family?
I wouldn't go that far. It was mostly gross motels and being squished into a van, but riding like that, working together, relying on each other... I mean, with the family. Yeah, they're pretty great. This is Ernie's car. Hurry, do your electricity witchery to make the doors unlock and start her up so we can go. I thought you said he'd hook you up. Did I? I meant he owes me my last paycheck, so instead we're going to borrow his car for a day.
Okay, only one problem. This car is from, like, 1973. The locks aren't even electric, which means my zappy power is worthless. I'll pick the lock myself. Do I have to do everything? Pick it with what? It's called a hairpin. Not all of us have genetic mutated superpowers. Move out of my way. Let me get down here.
Hey, you girls, get away from my car! Uh-oh. Who's the dude in the dirty apron? That would be Ernie. Hurry! Okay, there, it's unlocked. Now what? I can hotwire it, but you gotta stall that guy. How? Where's an oboe when you need it? What the heck are you two doing? Hi, Ernie. Remember me? Brucey B? I'll never forget you. Aw, I missed you too, Ernie. You know, I loved working for you as much as you loved having me on the payroll. Hurry up, Casey. I'll call the cops right now.
Stars at night are big and bright. Come on, Kate, you're coming with me. Get your crazy paws off me. Got it. Let's go. Friendly, hop in. Sorry, Ernie, got a roll. Hang on, Kate, you don't start driving yet. I have to. Drive through the window. What? Drive into a moving car? Dive now! Good girl! But my feet are still hanging out of the car! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on tight! I promise I'll bring it back, Earn! You almost got me killed!
That was awesome. We so rule. I'm feeling a high five coming on. Okay, hands back on the wheel. Still don't totally trust you. Golf of Mexico, here we come. Hang on, Siren. Here, kitty kitty. Oh, who's a nice kitty cat? Oh, yes, you are... No, no, no, no. Oh, okay. Wow, I'm getting a little too close for comfort. Guys, give me a little space. Okay? This is it. This is the end. I wonder what it's like to get eaten by tigers. Tigers! Leave my brother alone. Holiday? Heyside. It's been a long time.
For more awesome pods, go to gzmshows.com. Hey guys, it's me. I'm breaking into Ben's office again. And yes, I'm in the bush in his yard again. Listen, there have been some meetings I haven't been privy to. I see them on the calendar. Then I ask about them. And I hate being out of the loop, so here I am. I'm gonna make a break for the door. はぁ!OK! I'm at the front door. I'm gonna check the door handle. Last time I just... Ben! You need to lock your doors!
What is that? Ben's office has a huge whiteboard on the wall. And all it says is June 6th in huge letters. June 6th? What's June 6th? That's like in a month. What are they planning? Oh, poop! The dogs heard me. Um, June 6th. Something is coming. I don't know what. Email me if you think you might know. I'm gonna get out of here before I get caught. Bye! Oh, sign up for the newsletter and I'll update you any information I have. Go and do that at jzmshows.com. Bye!
