- Here are your five words.
Evidence.
Evidence is information or clues
that show something's true.
Expert.
An expert is someone who is
really good at something.
Microscope.
You use a microscope to see
things that are really small.
Skeptical.
Skeptical is when you're
not so sure about something.
Gullible.
If you're gullible, you
can be tricked easily.
So, we have evidence,
expert, microscope,
skeptical, and gullible.
Watch out for these
words in today's show.
(upbeat music)
- Hello, this is Harry
Helthiscotcameragot,
reporting from Earth to my
friends on the planet Skelecki
on this new episode
of Real or Fake.
And here to talk to us today
about the mysterious creature,
Bluefoot, is the man who
knows everything about him,
our very own expert
Mr. Hector Ruiz.
Now Hector, as the
Bluefoot expert,
please answer the question.
Bluefoot, real or fake?
- Well Harry, I
have to say fake.
To become a Bluefoot expert,
I had to study
everything about him
and there's nothing
that I've seen or read
that makes me believe
that he's real.
- So you're an
expert in something
you don't think is real?
- I guess so.
- And there isn't
one piece of evidence
that might suggest
Bluefoot is real?
- Nope, not one
piece of evidence.
Let me show you.
This is a picture that appeared
in the magazine,
The National Rumor.
- Well, it looks
like Bluefoot to me.
- Yeah, but examine the
picture more closely.
- Oh, there's a Blue Ranger.
They're a scouting
group here on Earth.
- You can also see the
Rangers roasting marshmallows.
- Oh, that would explain
the smell of marshmallows
Bluefoot supposedly
leaves everywhere he goes.
- Exactly.
- But how do you explain
local resident George Vlyer
who said he just saw
Bluefoot two blocks away
eating all the
flowers in his garden?
- All he had for evidence
were half eaten flowers.
- So you're basically saying
you don't think
Bluefoot is real?
- Until there's real evidence,
I have to say that
Bluefoot is fake.
- We have incredible news.
- We just saw Bluefoot.
- What?
- What?
- Down the block.
Luckily I took a picture.
(dramatic music)
- See?
Bluefoot.
How's that for evidence?
- Well Skeleckian viewers,
it looks like we have
three Bluefoot experts.
- Hey, you guys!
(upbeat music)
Come on, yeah

- Welcome back to Real or Fake.
Hector's examining all
the Bluefoot evidence,
from Francine Carruthers
and Manny Spamboni.
Is it real, or is it fake?
Who will we believe?
- I cannot believe
you actually think
we would make all of this up.
Why would we make up a
whole story about Bluefoot?
- To get attention.
- To make Hector look foolish.
- Because you were bored.
- Yeah, and the photograph
Francine showed us is blurry.
You can't even tell
if it's real or not.
- Ha!
So that means that you can't
prove that it's not real.
Can you?
- Well, no.
But that--
- A first piece of evidence.
- No, no, no.
I didn't say that, okay?
I just said that it's
a blurry photograph.
That doesn't mean anything.
- Yeah? Well...
What about this
piece of evidence?
Bluefoot's paw prints
that we found in the mud.
- Come on.
Come on, man, do
you really expect us
to believe everything?
Do you think we're
that gullible?
- I'm not saying yes,
but I am not saying no.
- You guys could have
just made this yourself.
How do we really know
if this is Bluefoot?
- Well, how about this?
Bluefoot's fur.
So there.
- If only there was some
way to study this fur
a little bit closer.
- Actually, I have a
microscope right here.
So I can do just that.
- Microscope?
How funny is that?
- There, I'll take one
of Bluefoot's hairs,
and one of my hairs,
and compare them.
Oh, and would you
just look at that?
It looks like Bluefoot's
fur is just like human hair.
- Nice move with the
microscope, Hector.
- All that means is Bluefoot's
fur is similar to our hair.
- That's an interesting
point too, Manny.
- Oh, look.
Bluefoot's fur is painted.
(group oohs)
- No, it isn't!
This happens to Bluefoot's
fur every year at this time.
I mean, I can't believe
you didn't know that.
Fellow Skeleckians,
don't you just love
the back and forth
between the experts?
It's so exciting.
- They are not experts.
I'm sorry, Harry, but none
of this evidence is real.
- Oh yeah?
Well, then, you
and your microscope
can just come to
the library tonight,
and see Bluefoot for yourself.
- What?
- What?
- What?
- What?
- Yes, because, that's
where he will be.
- Mm, no.
How do you know that for sure?
- Because I know the secrets
on how to bring Bluefoot
out of hiding.
Not you!
I will get him to come
to the library tonight,
not you, because I am
the real Bluefoot expert.
Not you.
Me.
(laughs maniacally)
- Well, tune in tonight
to see if the Bluefoot
is real, or fake.
(energetic music)
- Ee!
- Ee!
- [Both] Ee!
I need that ee, ee, ee
Ee, ee, ee
To make a step less steep
I need that ee, ee, ee
To turn met into meet
No, Celisse, I agree
We need that ee
Without that sound,
we couldn't even see
Or climb a tree
Live in a world that is free
We owe it a big thanks
We should pay it a fee
Or maybe we should
just stop acting cheesy
And say it out loud,
truly, badly, deeply
We love that sound, and
we'll always keep ee
Ee, ee, ee
I need that ee, ee, ee
I need that ee, ee, ee
I need that ee
- Hello Josephine, are you
raising money for you school?
- Yes Mr. McGee, would
you like to buy a tree?
- I already got one of those.
- How about your
very own street?
- I love it!
But I already live on
my very own street.
- That's pretty much
all I have Mr. McGee.
(sneezes)
- How about if I
buy your sneeze?
- What?
I can sell you something
normal like a tree,
but a sneeze is
just plain weird.
- I'll give you
five bucks for it.
- Sold.
- [Announcer] Welcome
to Swimming Spell-Off!
First up is the Red Team.
The word bee.
We'll be seeing a
lot double-e today.
This bee goes buzz!
And there it is, the word bee!
The Blue Team is up
next with freedom.
This is harder as double-e
comes in the middle of the word.
Will they make it?
Yes!
Freedom, and it feels so good.
Next, sweeten, like
sweeten the lemonade.
Another one with
double-e in the middle.
Can they pull it off?
Yes, sweeten!
Blue Team's back with sneeze.
Time is running out.
Can they...
Achoo!
Yes, sneeze!
- When I was younger in
Ms. Cornbender's class,
I wrote a story about a
sheep who could speak,
and you know what she did?
She put a big X
over the word "speek"!
It turns out that speak is
spelled with an "a" in it.
"Ee" makes the E sound in sheep,
but if you want to make
the same E sound in speak,
you have to use the
"ea," and so I said,
"Well, how will I know which
one to use, Ms. Cornbender?"
And she said that she
would teach us these
one word at a time,
and so I sat in my seat
without a peep, and I learned
sleet, and sleep, and feet,
and fleet, and weed, and
need, and all the words
the use "ee" and then I
learned speak, and read,
and mean, and lean,
and clean, and bean,
and all the words that use "ea"!
And that just made
me want to scream!
In fact, I think I will!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
And...
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea!
- We're here in the
library, camping out,
and we're prepared to
stay up all night to catch
a glimpse of Bluefoot.
- Hi, Harry.
- It's Manny Spamboni,
Bluefoot expert.
Now, Manny, is it true
that you are a believer?
- I am indeed, Harry.
- Well, you're not the only one.
Our viewers at home voted,
they phoned in, they texted,
and nine out of
of you, that's right,
% believe that
Bluefoot is real!
- Well, if % of all of
you out there believe it,
then it must be true!
- So, Manny, what do
you say to those people
who are skeptical and still
aren't sure if Bluefoot is real?
- Well, all of you
skeptical people out there
who don't believe that Bluefoot
is real right now, (laughs)
just stay tuned!
Bluefoot is coming, and
you'll be able to see him
with your own two eyes.
- Well, I am still skeptical,
because we've been here
over an hour, Manny, and
there's still no sign
of Bluefoot anywhere.
- Well, that's because
Bluefoot is afraid.
We need to create
the proper conditions
so that Bluefoot will
want to come out.
- Fascinating.
- Okay, like what?
- Like, um...
- Humming!
- Humming!
- Everyone knows that
Bluefoot loves humming.
- Right, because the
mother Bluefoot would
wake them up every morning.
- That's right.
- By humming?
- Yes.
So, everyone,
hum now!
(group hums)
- He's still not here, Manny.
Why don't you just admit that
he's not going to appear.
That you made up this whole
thing, just to get attention.
- Because he is going to come.
We just forgot the most
important part of making him
feel comfortable.
- And what is that?
- The friendship call!
- What?
- What kind of expert are you?
Birds have bird calls, right?
Well, Bluefoot has
the friendship call.
Which I just happen to know.
Keith, grab your guitar.
Let's go.
(upbeat guitar music)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, Bluefoot
Don't be lonely and blue
We're gonna do some humming
Like your mommy used to do
We're gonna do
some strumming
'Cause we know
you like that too
Singing, hey, hey,
hey, hey Bluefoot
Come dance to the
sound of the guitar
Hey, hey, hey, hey Bluefoot
Come out, come out,
wherever you are
Look!
It's Bluefoot!
- Can you see it, my vloggers?
Bluefoot is dancing to
his friendship call!
- Wait, leave him alone.
Bluefoot doesn't
like it when you...
Unmask him.
(screams)
- Francine.
- I told you it was all fake.
- How could you?
- Yeah, and wasting
all our time?
- I wanted attention.
- I wanted to make
Hector look foolish.
- I was bored.
- Well, everyone at
home watching my vlog,
looks like Hector was
right to be skeptical.
This was all just
a Bluefoot trick.
- Just goes to show
you that no matter what
you want to believe,
Bluefoot is not real.
- Hey guys?
Do you smell marshmallows?
- [All] Bluefoot!
- [Announcer] Today on
the Big Face Face Off,
it's Hector vs. Danny!
- In this duel, I will
use the "ea" sound.
- [Crowd] Ea, ea, ea!
- I will use the
"ea" sound as well.
I love a good feast.
- That's funny.
My beast loves a good feast too.
(beast roaring)
- That's funny.
Um, my duck will
freak out your beast.
(duck quacking)
- How is that waddling duck
going to freak out my big beast?
(duck quacking viciously)
- Stay away, or I'll scream!
(duck quacking)
(screams)
- That was pretty neat.
You hungry?
(duck quacks)
Have a seat.
(duck quacks)
- [Announcer] Ready.
Set.
Go!
- [Driver] Ea?
- [Car] It's ea, ea
as in take the lead.
- [Driver] I'll take
the lead, all right.
- [Car] Oh boy, meatballs.
- [Driver] Meatballs?
Mm-mm!
- [Car] Meatballs are bad.
He's cheating.
- [Driver] He is cheating!
- [Car] Clean off the meatballs.
- [Driver] Yeah,
see ya, meatballs!
Now we're back in the lead!
- [Car] Nice teamwork.
- [Driver] Thank you, Bob.
- What do watermelon
and cake have in common?
Let's sound this out and see.
This first word
has that double-e,
so that's gonna
make the ee sound.
So, from the beginning, s-w-,
sw-ee-,
sweet.
Sweet!
And now, tr-, and then
ea, oh, guess what?
Ea makes the ee sound
too, just like double-e.
So trea-t.
Treat.
Sweet treat!
Yeah, watermelon and cake
are both sweet treats!
(energetic music)
(man grunting)
- Ea, ea, ea, ea, ea, ea, ea.
P, p, p, pea.
Nut.
Peanut.
Peanut.
(elephant blows trunk)
Ea.
B, b, bea.
Ker.
Beaker.
Beaker.
Ea.
St, stea.
M, steam.
Steam.
Ea.
C-l.
Clea.
R, clear.
Clear.
(sirens)
(watch beeps)
- Well, folks, looks
like Bluefoot might
have put his best foot forward.
- He seemed so gentle.
He just ran right by us like,
like he was more scared
of us than we were of him.
- Wait, so now you
believe in Bluefoot too?
- Well, we caught
Francine faking it, so.
What else could it be?
- It seems awfully real to me.
- I smelled the marshmallows.
- So did I.
- It was very strong.
- Come on, guys!
You cannot believe
everything that you see!
You can't be so gullible.
- We are not gullible!
We don't believe in everything.
Just Bluefoot.
- There has to be
another explanation.
- Like what?
- Well, we know you and Manny
were making the whole thing up
just to get attention.
- And because we were bored.
- Okay, hold on,
hold on a second.
Why would anyone
want us to believe
the Bluefoot was in
the neighborhood?
- I don't know.
- Let's go to the library and
see if we can figure this out.
Okay?
- You know what, real
or fake, I cannot
spend another minute
chasing down Bluefoot.
I've got tons of homework.
- I'm with you.
Let us know if you
find any more evidence.
- Okay, I'll catch you later.
- Sorry.
- Stay with us, as Real or Fake
continues the Bluefoot
investigation.

You're the guy who said he saw
Bluefoot eating his flowers.
- Who's George Vlyer?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Would you like some
Bluefoot slippers,
perfect for the winter?
- Wow, seems like business is
going pretty well ever since
people started
spotting Bluefoot.
- Ah, I get it.
You're one of those
skeptical people, right?
Just out to spoil
everyone's fun?
I, however, am a true
Bluefoot believer.
I just want to share my
passion with the world.
- Oh, whoops!
Hey.
What's this?
- It's marshmallow-scented
air freshener.
- Who doesn't like the
nice smell of marshmallows
sweetening up their home, huh?
Give me my Bluefoot costume!
- (gasps) You are such a Vlyer!
- How could I resist?
You know how many
t-shirts and mugs
I've sold over
the past two days?
You people are so gullible,
you'll believe anything.
- We are not gullible.
We're just open-minded.
- All I had to do was
put on a furry suit,
and I almost fooled you.
- Okay, we were pretty gullible.
- How could you?
- I almost had you
going for a while.
Admit it!
I had you going there.
Are you sh**ting this?
Well, ladies and gentlemen,

- So, our viewers at home
have revoted, and % of you
now believe Bluefoot is fake.
And you make think,
my fellow Skeleckians,
that this Bluefoot
episode simply means
Earthlings are gullible
creatures, but let's not forget,
these are the same
adventurous Earthlings
that put a man on the moon.
Granted we did it
thousand billion years before,
but that's besides the point.
Anywho, see ya next
time on Real or Fake.
- Well, I'm glad this
whole Bluefoot thing
is finally settled.
- Me too, even though I
did get kind of excited
thinking there might be a
Bluefoot in our neighborhood.
- Well, remember this, until
there's solid evidence,
Bluefoot is just one
big made up animal.
(dramatic music)
- Did you see that?
- Guys, it's just the
little Blue Rangers.
- Those little guys
are everywhere.
- I know.
- Yeah.
