0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hey, DW!

0:01:00 > 0:01:01Hey!

0:01:06 > 0:01:09'An hour's drive from Elwood City,

0:01:09 > 0:01:13'home to herons, beavers

0:01:13 > 0:01:14'and the weekend fisherman.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22'But is there something else lurking beneath the surface

0:01:22 > 0:01:25'of these placid waters?

0:01:25 > 0:01:27'Something ancient, cold-blooded

0:01:27 > 0:01:30'and extremely dangerous?'

0:01:30 > 0:01:32What do you think it is, Mr Morris?

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Beats me, and I'm not sure I want to find out.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40'Could this peaceful lake be the home of...

0:01:40 > 0:01:42'The Mega Toad?'

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Sweet Jehoshaphat!

0:01:43 > 0:01:47Tonight, our team of scientifically-inclined specialists

0:01:47 > 0:01:53investigate a giant carnivorous amphibian that may live among us.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54'Mega Toad

0:01:54 > 0:01:57'myth or the frightening, undeniable truth?'

0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'm Martin Spivack

0:02:02 > 0:02:04and this is The Factoid Front.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08What is it, myth or truth?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Oh, truth, definitely truth. It's on TV.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24It's as tall as a double-decker bus

0:02:24 > 0:02:26and it can climb straight up

0:02:26 > 0:02:28buildings with its sticky feet.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Buster, there's no such thing as a mega toad.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Yes, there is, I saw it last night on The Factoid Front.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Hah! That Martin Spivack isn't even a real doctor.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40He is too!

0:02:40 > 0:02:41He's a doctor of...

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Forensic speculography.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45What's that?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47I'm not sure, but I wrote it down

0:02:47 > 0:02:49because I want to study it when I grow up.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Buster, it's a terrible show.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54It's filled with half-truths and bad science.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56You take that back!

0:02:56 > 0:02:59The Factoid Front is where I get all my best information.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Then I hate to say it, but you're even more gullible than I thought.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Oh, yeah?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07We'll see who has the last laugh

0:03:07 > 0:03:10when mega toads are hopping down Main Street.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18The Factoid Front is cancelled? But why?

0:03:18 > 0:03:19According to the article,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22it was filled with half-truths and bad science.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25But... I believed it.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29Well, you weren't the only one, honey. A lot of people did.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30I'm not hungry.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35You were right, mega toads don't exist.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Oh, well, that's a good thing, right?

0:03:38 > 0:03:39I guess.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Do you think I'm gullible, like Brain said,

0:03:42 > 0:03:43that I'll believe anything?

0:03:43 > 0:03:44No...

0:03:44 > 0:03:48You just have a really big imagination.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Like, if I saw some flashing lights in the sky right now...- Where?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53How fast is it going? Is it saucer-shaped?

0:03:53 > 0:03:58I said "if"! I'm not even looking out the window.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Oh, I see your point.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03I think you answered my question. Thanks, Arthur.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05It's not a bad thing, it's just...

0:04:24 > 0:04:26HE SIGHS

0:04:31 > 0:04:34You're throwing all this away? Why?

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Because it belonged to old Buster.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40That laughing stock who would believe any old thing.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Well, new Buster isn't buying it, you hear?

0:04:43 > 0:04:44Help yourself.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57BUS HORN

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Hey, Buster, did you hear? The Factoid Front was...

0:05:00 > 0:05:02I know, cancelled.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05New Buster says, good riddance.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07New Buster?

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Yep, it's the brand-new me.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11From now on, I'm only believing

0:05:11 > 0:05:14things that can be scientifically proven.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15What about your horoscope?

0:05:15 > 0:05:17You love hearing your horoscope.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Astrology? Hogwash, poppycock.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I don't know, let's see...

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Aquarius...

0:05:26 > 0:05:28No way, that can't be true!

0:05:28 > 0:05:30What does it say?

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Am I coming into money?

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Read it for yourself, new Buster.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Must be strong.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43See? I have changed.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Take advice from an old friend.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56ARTHUR CLEARS THROAT

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Wasn't quite finished with this.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09Good luck.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Luck? New Buster doesn't believe in luck.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Strike one.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Is there any scientific proof that luck exists?

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Strike two.

0:06:24 > 0:06:25The only thing that matters in

0:06:25 > 0:06:29baseball is skill, or the lack of it.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Strike three, you're out!

0:06:31 > 0:06:33I rest my case.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41No, wait, we should take umbrellas, the forecast said it might rain.

0:06:41 > 0:06:47Might rain? Oh, please, and a piano might just fall out of the sky.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49Buster, that's not the same.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Unless the forecast says it definitely will rain,

0:06:52 > 0:06:56and there are facts to back it up, we shouldn't believe it.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57RAINFALL

0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's sheer coincidence.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04I miss old Buster.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08He had some pretty weird ideas but he was a lot better at baseball.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12And a lot more fun. Maybe you could talk to him, Brain?

0:07:12 > 0:07:16Yeah, tell him monsters exist and he can believe whatever he wants.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18I'm not telling him that!

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Well, isn't there something you could say?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Is that a photograph of the Mega Toad?

0:07:28 > 0:07:30- No, it's a tree frog.- Oh...

0:07:30 > 0:07:34But the tiny tree frog is kind of special.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Every winter, it completely freezes.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Its heart stops for weeks, maybe even months.

0:07:40 > 0:07:45Then, when spring arrives, it comes back to life.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46Cool!

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Wait, why are you showing me this?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Because...

0:07:51 > 0:07:53I can't believe I'm going to say this.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56If a frog can live after being frozen, then I suppose there's

0:07:56 > 0:07:58a .0001% chance that a mega toad

0:07:58 > 0:08:01could have survived from the Cretaceous Period.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03There, I said it.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Could I have a glass of water, please?

0:08:05 > 0:08:06I feel faint.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Do you have any proof?

0:08:08 > 0:08:09What?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12That a giant toad survived for 70 million years?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Of course not, I just...

0:08:15 > 0:08:17I'm sorry, but if you don't have hard evidence,

0:08:17 > 0:08:20then you're no better than Martin Spivack.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25He called me a "forensic speculographist".

0:08:25 > 0:08:26What's that?

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I have no idea but it sounds offensive.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Maybe we should just hypnotise him, I bet Prunella could do it.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36There might be a better way.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Do either of you have a big tarp?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46ROAR

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Hey, Buster, you want to go for a walk? It's a beautiful day.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Oh, really? Can you prove it?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Why don't just look out the window?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19OK, seems to check out.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Meet you in five minutes.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25ROAR

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Wh, what was that?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29I, I don't know, it sounded like a lion.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33Aah!

0:09:33 > 0:09:34What is that thing?

0:09:34 > 0:09:35It looks like a...

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Giant toad, maybe even a mega toad!

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Martin Spivack was right.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43BARKING

0:09:43 > 0:09:44Pal, no, come back!

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Cut it out, you crazy dog!

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Wait a minute, that's no mega toad.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03Um, good boy, you saved us.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Nice try but...

0:10:05 > 0:10:08We know, we know.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10New Buster isn't buying it.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13We just wanted the old Buster back.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16I hate to admit it, but even I miss him.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17So do I.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22But why should I believe in something if it can't be proven?

0:10:27 > 0:10:28PHONE RINGING

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Telephone for you, sweetie.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Hey, amigo, I'm on UFO patrol,

0:10:35 > 0:10:37think I might have spotted one.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39It was probably just an aeroplane.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Bright green and shaped like an eggplant?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Not like any plane I've ever seen.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Can I ask you something?

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Why do you believe in stuff like aliens?

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Do you know how many galaxies

0:10:50 > 0:10:53scientists estimate are in the universe?

0:10:53 > 0:10:54I don't know, a million?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56100 billion!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59And do you know how many we can see with our best telescopes?

0:10:59 > 0:11:00Nuh-uh.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Five.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Think about that, there's a lot out there we don't know

0:11:05 > 0:11:08- but there's another reason I believe in aliens.- What's that?

0:11:08 > 0:11:10I like to.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Life is more interesting when there's a little mystery in it.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Yeah, it is.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23So then, the alien civilisation used

0:11:23 > 0:11:25their advanced technology to freeze

0:11:25 > 0:11:29the prehistoric creature in a block of ice, where one day,

0:11:29 > 0:11:34he'll wake up and that's how a mega toad could still exist.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Will you admit it's possible?

0:11:36 > 0:11:39If I do, will you go away and let me finish my homework?

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Old Buster is back.
