FIRST, SORRY FOR THE EDUCATIONAL
PART OF THE SHOW, L.A. HAS A 
FOOTBALL TEAM, THE RAMS ARE 
BACK, AND THERE'S A PLAYER ON 
THE TEAM, WILLIAM HAYES, TWO 
INTERESTING THINGS.
ONE, HE BELIEVES IN MERMAIDS, 
AND TWO, HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN 
DINOSAURS, THINKS IT'S A HOAX 
COOKED UP BY RASCAL 
ARCHAEOLOGISTS.
I DON'T KNOW.
I DECIDED TO TAKE WILLIAMS ON A 
FIELD TRIP TO THE L.A. NATURAL 
HISTORY MUSEUM WHERE THERE'S ALL
SORTS OF DINOSAUR BONES ISSUE 
AND HERE'S MY DINOSAUR DAY WITH 
WILLIAM HAYES.
♪ ♪
>> SO, HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU
REALIZED YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE IN 
DINOSAURS?
>> I NEVER REALLY BELIEVED.
>> NEVER?
EVEN AS A KID, LEARNING ABOUT 
DINOSAURS, YOU DEPARTMENT 
BELIEVE THEM?
>> I DON'T HAVE A BIG 
IMAGINATION.
>> LISTEN, I THINK SKEPTICISM IS
A GOOD QUALITY TO HAVE.
WE SHOULD CHALLENGE THE THINGS 
WE'RE EXPECTED TO BELIEVE.
>> OKAY.
>> NOT NECESSARILY TO THIS 
EXTENT, BUT LET'S TAKE A LOOK 
AROUND AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK.
>> LOOK AT THAT.
THIS DOESN'T MOVE YOU IN ANY 
WAY.
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK THESE ARE?
>> [ BLEEP ] CLAY.
>> MAYBE IT IS CLAY, I DON'T 
KNOW.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> I'M DANIEL, AN EDUCATOR HERE 
FOR THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM.
>> WE NEED YOU, DAVE.
HAVE YOU MET PEOPLE WHO DON'T 
BELIEVE IN DINOSAURS BEFORE?
>> EVERY NOW AND THEN.
>> DINOSAURS ARE REAL?
>> FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.
>> YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, AS
IN?
>> AS IN ACTUALLY GOING OUT AND 
DIGGING FOR DINOSAURS.
>> YOU NEVER DUG UP A DINOSAUR 
BEFORE.
>> YES, I HAVE.
>> WHERE?
>> UTAH.
>> HE HAS PICTURES, WILL YOU 
BELIEVE?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
>> WHOEVER DUG THOSE DINOSAURS 
PROBABLY PUT THEM THERE.
>> THEY PLANTED THE BONES UNDER 
THE GROUND?
>> AND THEY KNEW WHERE TO GO GET
THEM FROM.
>> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
>> WELL, OF COURSE YOU DON'T 
KNOW, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WAS 
TRICKED.
>> THE BONES I DUG UP PERSONALLY
FOUND USING A JACKHAMMER, AND I 
DON'T THINK ANYONE --
>> A JACKHAMMER?
I'VE SEEN JACKHAMMERS BEFORE.
>> HERE WE HAVE OUR T-REX SKULL,
AND IT IS ONE OF THE MOST 
BIGGEST FOUND.
>> SO THOSE ARE REAL TEETH FROM 
THE T-REX?
>> THE LOWER JAW IS PRETTY 
COMPLETE.
TAKE A LOOK IN BETWEEN THE 
CRACKS, WE PUT IN THINGS LIKE 
CLAY AND GLUE TO HOLD IT 
TOGETHER.
>> SO YOU'RE SAYING THIS IS A 
LOT -- A LOT OF THIS IS CLAY?
>> NOT A LOT.
WELL, THE --
>> A LOT.
>> A LOT.
>> YOU CAN DEFINITELY TELL.
>> WHEN A BONE GETS COVERED IN 
MUD, THAT MUD WOULD HARDEN AND 
WATER COMES IN THE CRACKS AND 
REPLACES THE BONE WITH MINERALS 
AND YOU'RE LEFT WITH A NATURAL 
REPLICA.
>> THAT'S A REAL DINOSAUR BONE?
>> A COPY.
>> A COPY?
>> YEAH.
>> HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED 
IN THE SCAM, DANIEL?
>> I UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S HARD 
FOR PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT THESE
ANIMALS THAT EXIST AT ONE POINT 
--
>> AIN'T NOBODY SEEN THEM.
>> ALSO, THEY ARE RIDICULOUS IN 
SIZE.
I HAVE --
>> SO IS HE.
>> YEAH.
>> WHAT ABOUT POKEMON, ARE THOSE
REAL?
>> NOT SO MUCH.
>> WHAT ABOUT MERMAIDS?
>> WE HAVE NOT FOUND EVIDENCE OF
MERMAIDS SO FAR.
>> SO YOU BELIEVE IN MERMAIDS?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> WHY DO YOU BELIEVE IN 
MERMA
MERMAIDS, BUT NOT DINOSAURS?
>> BECAUSE IT'S A LARGE BODY OF 
WATER.
YOU KNOW, NOT NOBODY DISCOVERED,
FINDING SPECIES IN THE WATER 
EVERY DAY.
WHO SAYS A MERMAID COULDN'T BE 
THERE.
>> YOU BELIEVE IN THE 
POSSIBILITY.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> WOULD YOU HAVE SEX WITH A 
MERMAID?
>> IF SHE WAS BAD ENOUGH.
>> WOULD YOU HAVE SEX WITH A 
DINOSAUR?
>> NO.
NO, I WOULD NOT HAVE SEX WITH A 
DINOSAUR.
>> OKAY.
GLAD WE ESTABLISHED THIS.
LET'S KEEP GOING.
>> RIGHT HERE WE HAVE AN OSTRICH
AND A GOOSE.
>> WERE BIRDS DINOSAURS?
>> BIRDS ARE DINOSAURS.
>> YOU'RE MAKING THAT UP.
>> WHEN WE LOOKED AT FOSSILS --
>> NO, NO, NOT WE.
Y'ALL LOOK AT THE FOSSILS.
>> YEAH.
>> NOT HIM.
>> NOT US.
>> YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WENT 
THERE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE 
CONSPIRACY.
[ BLEEP ]. 
>> IS GIRAFFE A DINOSAUR?
>> HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE 
GIRAFFIC PARK?
>> I HAVE NOT.
STARTING RIGHT HERE, IF YOU'D 
LIKE.
THIS IS A ATOKI.
>> TO YOU TOO.
>> REMIND YOU OF ANY ANIMAL?
>> LOOKS LIKE A DOG OR APT 
EATER.
>> YEAH.
IT'S ACTUALLY THE ANCIENT 
ANCESTOR OF MODERN DAY WHALES, 
DOLPHI
DOLPHINS.
>> THAT'S A WHALE?
>> COME ON, MAN.
>> THAT'S NOT A WHALE.
>> HELL NO THAT'S NOT WHALE.
>> THAT WAS -- YOU HAVE THAT 
WRONG.
YOU GOT TO READ THROUGH THIS.
THAT?
NO, NO WAY.
>> WHAT'S THAT RIGHT THERE?
>> OH, NO.
>> WOAH.
>> THIS IS ARTY, THE EARLIEST 
SPECIES THAT WOULD HAVE WALKED 
UPRIGHT.
>> THAT'S A MONKEY?
>> IT'S NOT A MONKEY.
>> IT'S A HUMONKEY.
>> IT'S AN ANCIENT ANCESTOR OF 
HUMANS TODAY.
>> HE'S SAYING WE COME FROM 
HUMONKEYS.
>> THAT'S A HORSE.
>> WE HAD HORSES IN THE LAST ICE
AGE.
>> THAT COULD BE A UNICORN.
>> DO YOU BELIEVE IN UNICORNS?
>> [ BLEEP ] I DO NOW.
>> WE HAVE OUR CENTERPIECE WHICH
IS THE ROAD SERIES OF THE T-REX.
>> NOW THESE LOOK REAL TO ME.
>> MOST ARE ORIGINAL.
EXCEPT FOR THE BABY.
THAT'S A COMPLETE REPLICA.
>> SEE, THAT'S PART OF THE 
PROBLEM.
>> GEEZ!
>> TACKLE IT!
>> SEE, NOW, THIS IS PART OF THE
PROBLEM, THOUGH.
WHEN YOU PUT FAKE DINOSAURS IN 
HERE, IT CONFUSES WILLIAM, AND 
NOW HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO 
BELIEVE.
THIS IS A REAL SKELETON.
THAT'S A PUPPET.
HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE REAL?
CAN I FEEL YOUR BEARD?
>> YOU CAN.
>> IT DOES FEEL REAL, FEEL HIS 
BEARD.
I HAVE TO SIT DOWN FOR A MINUTE.
THIS IS A LOT TO TAKE IN.
THIS DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR MIND 
AT ALL?
>> ABSOLUTELY IT HAS.
>> IT HAS CHANGED YOUR MIND?
>> YEAH.
>> OH?
>> IT'S CHANGED MY MIND, LIKE, 
MERMAIDS ARE JUST NOT IN THE 
WATER, BUT THEY COULD BE ON 
LAND.
>> OH.
SO THIS IS, IF ANYTHING, THIS 
BROUGHT YOU CLOSER TO A BELIEF 
IN MERMAIDS?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
MY SEARCH FOR AREAL HAS 
INTENSIFIED MORE NOW.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
>> THANKS, DANIEL.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> THANKS TO WILLIAM HAYES, AND
