Transcript

Hi there, it's Jess from GCM Shows. Right now, we're running a listener survey to make sure we're bringing you ads and partnerships that you actually like. We ran a survey last year and it helped us so much. I'm not even joking. We learned that a lot of our listeners have pets and that helped us get sponsorships for pet owners. And that's just one example of how you've helped us already and how you can help us again. So.

Help us out by going to gzmshows.com slash survey and taking a super quick survey to tell us more about yourself and what you like. Once again, that's gzmshows.com slash survey. Thank you. There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They fell through a portal and got lost in the 80s. And now their time? is running out.

made a wrong turn tell me you didn't purposely bring me here Brinley what I love karaoke and they weren't checking IDs at the door after everything that just happened to me learning my parents split up and went to who knows where that's some random Old lady has probably turned my childhood bedroom into a cattery. Cattery? But I'm all alone in a city I barely remember. You bring me to listen to terrible people singing terrible songs terribly? I didn't bring you here to listen.

I brought you here to sing. That's even worse! I'm out! Wait, wait, wait! Let me explain. See, we have come here on a mission of mercy. Oh, boy. When a certain person who shall remain nameless... abandoned me. I was devastated. Like, so, so devastated. Not to give this certain nameless person power over my sense of self, but let's just say I even started to...

Lose not just my confidence, but my brinliness. Heavens, no. But in consultation with the mirror, I decided to turn my attention to things I enjoyed. Things I was good at. Academics, oboes, skincare, writing, swimming, coding, paddle sports. Okay, I get it. Like I said, I have a plethora of talents to lean on. You... I'm not so sure. We're done here. But...

I was going to say, but, before you interrupted, but, you do have a halfway decent singing voice. Gee, thanks. Okay, you have a great singing voice. Keep going. I'm not saying karaoke's gonna solve all your problems. Will it help you locate your mom and dad? No. Will it help you find somewhere to sleep tonight? Uh-uh. Will it fix the fact that you lost 10 years of your life? Feel free to get to the point.

Point is, at least for a few minutes, you'll feel good about yourself. And then you can go back to feeling miserable about your miserable life. Have you ever thought about becoming a motivational speaker? Will you just look through the book with me? Maybe a song will stand out? Like... Oh, here. Don't worry, be happy. Absolutely not. Oh, no way. Are you ready for this? Out of Time by Simon Andre. Are you serious? I mean, we know the words. No way.

Fine. I'll sing it alone. I have a better voice than you anyway. Ha! You wish. You still think you sing better than me? Okay, then. Prove it. Fine. But I picked the song, and it's not by your boyfriend, Simon. Whatever. Hey, you ladies got a song choice for me? Here, but only play it when I tell you to. Atta girl! The Cavendish Pasternak's are gonna eat!

You know the song, right? Of course I know the song. Everyone knows the song. But we'll give it our own spin, of course. What does that mean? It means follow me. All right, folks, we're going to keep this moving. Next up is... Candace and Brim Lay. Candace. Just try to keep up. I have an idea for how we arrange this duet. Look at you, all professional. If you're not up for it. No, no, let's do it.

Give me a mic, DJ guy. Hey, I'm Casey, and this is my... This is Brindley, and, well, you're welcome. Okay, I'll go first, and when I elbow you... Just pointing. We'll be fine. Not the fortune Ivan! Yes, just, er, yes, Jude. Tell me more about this time phone I'm looking at. Ugh, what's left of it. It's an invention of Mr. Cyrus Anders, but I believe he was working off concepts you pioneered. Me?

Dr. J.P. Whittier. Of course. The question is, how does it work? I don't know specifically, sir, but having observed Cyrus Anders using it, I can lately figure out how to restore it to working order. Great. Get on with it. I have an important call to make. I trust you'll find this lab more comfortable than the interrogation room, Cyrus? It's a bit... rudimentary, but it'll do. What does your lab look like in the future? Dr. Whittier, we need to get something straight.

I won't be discussing time travel with you I can't risk what might happen if that information were to fall into the wrong hands And I'm keenly aware of how disposable I'd be once you got your answers Fair enough I'll give you the space to do whatever is necessary to help my Adelaide. Feel free to use Ivan as needed. I'll be back to check on you later.

Interesting song choice, Angel. Why are you working with him? Maybe I just don't want to see a young girl suffer. You met Adelaide. Yeah, and I want to help her. Only... What? You wouldn't understand. Try me. I'm worried that by helping Dr. Whittier save his daughter, I could lose one of the most important people in my life. My sister, Holiday. What does she have to do with it?

Very long story. You know he's just using you, right? Same as he's using me. Well, at least he managed to give you your mind control powers, right? What? He gave you Gen A serum, didn't he? Dr. Whittier didn't give me my abilities. Then who did? I was born with them. Born with them? He's trying to find a way to use them to make more kids like me. Hang on. Are you saying... You're the first? The one and only as far as I know. Angel, Gen A. Gen A Serum was named for you?

Okay, the gloating is a bit much. No, it's not. Doubting me is. Should we sign up for another song? Maybe a ballad this time? I need to get some fresh air. Good call. I'll come with. No. You cannot go back to being Mopey Katie. You're just saying about girls wanting to have fun. Girls may want to have fun, doesn't mean they're gonna have fun. Come with me to Juno. What?

Come with me. We still have plenty of time to make the flight. I don't even have a ticket. So we'll buy one at the airport. I don't need your pity. It's not pity. I want you to come. I can't take on Woody or Corp alone. I'm not sure having me there will make it any easier. I think it will. Listen, whatever we are to each other, it's never going to make sense. But we sounded good. Our harmonies were good. And that's a start.

I'll go see if I can find us a cab. Taxi! Taxi! You know, we were pretty good. What is that? I forgot I had it. Is it? Now that you've listened to this week's episode, head on over to the GZM Rewind feed to hear me and the creators talk with special guests, including cast members and superfans.
