All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking with Dina today. Dina is an individual that reached out regarding some things that she has experienced over her lifetime. So it's a privilege to talk to Dina on the show today. And Dina, welcome. Thank you so much, Dera. Thank you for having me. Absolutely.

So, you know, I'm going to go ahead and, you know, feel free to bring us back to however far back we need to go when you started to experience what you have experienced over the years. Okay, great. Well, for starters, my name is Dina. I'm 48 years old. I'm from the New York City area. My family has a cabin up in Gilboa, New York. And the cabin was actually my stepfathers long before I existed. and I've been going there since I'm eight years old.

My brothers have actually inherited the cabin now, so it's still in our family. It's basically used for hunting, and it's a dry cabin. There isn't any electricity. There isn't any running water, but we do have this beautiful stream that comes right across the front of the property

when you come to the edge of the driveway. And that's where it all started. Outside, you know, in front of the stream. We collected in, a blue drum. And, you know, and then it would continue on its way. So when I was there, we were outside brushing our teeth, getting ready to go to bed. And at the end of the driveway, I don't know what it was. I just felt like we were being watched. So I'm just looking around, and I noticed at the edge of the driveway, I see two sets of what appeared to be red eyes,

but it was just odd because I'd never seen anything like that before. And it was freestanding. It wasn't in a tree. And I pointed it out to my mom, and I said, Mom, look at those red eyes at the end of the driveway. And she's, oh, no, it was probably a deer or a coyote or something. And I'm like, but they're too high in the air. And all around the red eyes, you just look, you just see a black mass, and it was blacker than the night. And what struck me funny was, I didn't, by no means that I think of Sasquatch right away in any way. I happen to have been having paranormal experiences in the home that we were living in.

And for some reason, I associated with that, thinking, oh, God, it's followed us. But I didn't get the same vibe that I got when I was at home. So, well, my mom brushes it off. It's no big deal. We go back in and we go to bed. The following day, I was out roaming around. Like, I have done plenty of times that we've gone there. and I just felt as if I was being followed.

You know, immediately I'm young. I'm thinking a person or maybe an animal. I don't know. And I know you're not supposed to run, but I just had this overwhelming feeling if I didn't get back now, I wasn't going to make it back at all. So I make my way back inside

and I tell my stuff, father, you know, I think somebody's following me. I think somebody's outside. And he said, nah, no, you know, you know, it's probably, just an animal or something and you know you're not used to it out here so don't worry about it so okay nobody wanted to acknowledge it so all right fine i'll let it go over the years going there you feel watched um you never feel like you're alone outside but you know i'm a city kid i think i know

everything but i'm sure i don't and you know over the course of the years going there there was one time now behind the house there's a field and it's an open field where we practice shoot, we ride the quads, or you know, it's just our play area. And one day I was standing in the kitchen with my stepfather, sister, I was getting ready to go outside, and I can see in the field two figures walking across the field. But what automatically stuck out to me was the fact that they looked so big. Because I know when I'm looking at, you know, my stepdad or my brothers, anybody in the field from the cabin, everybody looked so tiny. And I just couldn't get over how big they looked.

And I pointed it out to my stepdad's sister. And her whole face changed. Now, could there be somebody walking across the property? Absolutely. But they didn't look. It just didn't look right. And I remember looking at her face. She just looked disturbed.

She even went to shotgun. That's what, you know, it kind of gave my feeling some validation that something wasn't right because she went and got the shotgun. And listen, it's a small town. I'm sure people cut through the property, but it just didn't look right. And the fact that they looked so big. And she thought that they had gilly suits on. So she just watched them.

She wasn't going to bother them because she figured, oh, maybe they're just cutting through the property, you know, and they're out there doing anything, but they're not here to bother us. So we just watched them cross the field, and they went up out their way. Now, in all the years, I never put together that it was Sasquatch, because I always, I knew it existed,

but I didn't think it existed here. I thought it was, you know, a Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Canada thing, did not think it was here on the East Coast. But over the years, there hasn't been a dead. that's gone by that I have not thought about these experiences. And over time, you start to hear stories and you start to hear people having encounters

in the East Coast. And it's like, wow, I think I actually had an experience. I think I've seen this. You know, like it's something that sticks with you. When something isn't right or something is out of the norm, it always sticks with you. If it doesn't, then I don't know what to tell you. For me, it's something I have thought about every day of my life. I have had my, as long as I can remember, I've had paranormal experiences.

I have my entire life, I mean, even until today, just as I want to say three, four days ago, I had an experience. And over the years, telling my family, you know, but the experiences I'm having in the house or wherever I am. Some people pay attention, some people just brush you off. But my family knows that I'm not the type of person that I make up stories

because I take a lot of pride in being trusted and being reliable. So everybody knows you can't call me crazy if I'm sane every other day of the week. But it's because I see something that doesn't match your norm. I'm not crazy.

And I know I'm not because I know what I've seen. I'm of sound mind and body. I know what I have seen. I know what I have felt. So over the years, you know, I'm not shy about it. I don't hold it in. I let everybody know what I'm experiencing. My brother finally opens up to me and he says one day he was, he woke up, he was at the cabin.

He took the dog out and he was standing in the driveway vicinity. And across, when you come up the hill, when you come up the road going towards our cabin, we're on the left and on the right, there's a general. gentleman, he has to be in his 80s by now. His property is across from hours. Now, to enter his driveway, you have to go up past our driveway a little bit, but we can see part of his field from across our driveway. So my brother was standing in the driveway, dogs going around, doing his business, and he's looking, and something just catches his eye. And it's on all fours, and he proceeds to say, that has got to be the biggest bear I have ever seen.

And as he's saying this to himself, this thing that's on all fours stands up on two legs and proceeds to just sashay across the rest of the field. And my brother just stood there stunned. And he's like, I know what I'm looking at, but I cannot believe what I'm looking at. Because that's not supposed to be. And then he goes back to all the times

that I've told him when we were there. you know, do you ever feel like we're being watched at night? Like I always pull the blind down in the bedroom. Because I just feel like there's somebody there. And when you look, there isn't anybody. I mean, when you're out wandering around in the woods, you know you're not alone, but you can't see anybody. And all of that came flooding back to him.

And he was like, I can't believe these things are, they're real. I mean, nobody ever doubted anything I ever said to them. But, you know, if you don't see it, you just kind of take things with a grain of salt. And as he watched this thing walk across the field, he just couldn't get over what he was looking at. There was another night he was at the cabin with his wife. And they were inside. They were watching movies. And you can clearly hear the generator being shut off.

Not that it died. You can hear it shut off. So my brother looked at his wife. He says, all right, well, good night. And she was like, you're not going to go outside? He was like, for what? He goes, do you think I have anything that's going to help me against anything that just turned that generator off? He was like, nope, I'm going to bed.

Good night. He just rolled over and went to bed. But, you know, you can't sit here and say, okay, just because I haven't seen something, it doesn't exist. You can't look at somebody who's lived their whole life in the woods. And I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about. people that I've had encounters, you can't look at somebody who has lived their entire life in the woods that's acclimated with the woods. You cannot look at them and tell them that they

had a mistaken identity. I just think it's insulting and I think it's unfair. Now, me and myself, sure, can somebody say I was mistaken? But I don't think so. Because what else has, now, okay, yes, I know people will say there are animals that you shine a light in their eye will give red, you know, glare. But I wasn't shining anything. This was self-illuminating. And one set was a little higher than the next. And if I stop and I think back to the two figures that I saw across the field that my stepfather,

sister thought were in gilly suits, one was a little taller than the other. So when you stop and you think that this is a cabin that is not used all the time, granted, throughout the year where there at least once a month, somebody's up there just checking on the property, you know, taking care of everything around. But if somebody's not there all the time, of course, something that lives there is going to feel comfortable enough to just walk through. I know, I mean, it's a small town. We don't really know anybody that lives there, but I can't be the only one that I've seen something.

You know, my brother saw something, and he saw it clear, bright, you know, there was no mistaking what it was. Now, like I said, in the beginning, I would have never, ever thought that it was a Sasquatch, because like I said, I had paranormal experiences my whole life. So I, in a way, I thought maybe something just followed me here, but I didn't get the same feeling that I did at home. because at home it was scary. Like every night, I don't think I slept one decent night that we, when we lived in this house at the same time that I saw these things at the cabin.

It was never the same feeling. It was always something completely different. You listen to stories as the years go by. How do you not piece it together? I mean, am I crazy? I don't think so. No, I don't think so at all. Did things get worse for you after you had that sighting?

Or it's just you've always dealt with this paranormal stuff? You know, I had always dealt with the paranormal. And to be honest with you, whatever happened up in the cabin, it was so mild. It was almost like a reprieve. If it was related to the paranormal, it felt like a reprieve because it wasn't as intense as it was when I was at home. And that's where I think I lost the association between the two. I didn't think that they were linked because of the different feelings that it gave me.

Yes, I felt watched. It's not comfortable to feel watched. But when you're in someone else's area, how do they not watch what walks by? Even if it is just an animal, you're in their area. They're, of course, they're going to watch you. They know you're there before you even know they're there. If you know they're there at all. So, you know, and the paranormal experiences have never stopped for me.

and the only times I've ever had the feelings of it being related to Sasquatch is when I'm at the cabin. Would I experience at the cabin? I don't experience anywhere else. So I don't think Bigfoot's in Yonkers. I guess I usually never know, but I haven't gotten many, many Yonkers reports. But so I'm sure you've thought about what you saw that day quite a bit. do you think that you're looking at more of some kind of undiscovered animal or maybe some kind of human mixture or is it just well if i stop and i think about it and i and i give it just a little bit

of thought i can't help but think that they are flesh and blood do i think that they i don't think that they're i think there's some i think that their own species somewhere in between a primate and a human. I think they fall somewhere in between. I do think that there are some that have abilities that some don't. Because when you stop and you think like you see, you know, footprints just stop in the middle of the snow somewhere. Like, where did it go?

Did it disappear into another dimension? Is it possible? Absolutely. But you know what you're looking at. You're not looking at. through it, so it's not an apparition. So I definitely think that they are fresh in blood. I do think that some have abilities that some don't.

I also believe that, you know, when you hear of a story where someone witnesses a UFO and then, like, within the immediate time frame, they have any, you know, they see a Sasquatch. Right. personally I have I it's just my thought that I kind of feel like when an alien comes here they disguise himself as a big foot because what's bigger and badder in the forest than a Sasquatch so sometimes I think that that's what that might be when they see two in the same area like an alien craft and then a Sasquatch.

That's just my thing. You know, that's just how I think that it could be. I mean, because think about it. You know, somebody sees a little alien creature. They may not be as intimidated as if it would be if, I mean, of course you're going to be fearful. But I just think that that's what they're doing. I think they're disguising themselves as something that's familiar and something that will scare someone off without finding it intriguing.

But I could be wrong. I mean, they could be two and the same. They could be, you know, there could be some that are of alien nature and they come, you know, I don't know. It's just my thought. Yeah, it's very interesting to think about. Did your brother ever the next day, did he go out to see if there was anything wrong with the area where the generator was or just really left it alone entirely? He just left it alone. He went out the next day and it was shut off.

He knows that much. it was literally shut off. It wasn't like it died or it ran out of, it was literally turned off. So he just let it go and that was that. And plus he didn't want to freak his wife out anymore than sure he was, but it was definitely shut off and he knows that.

But there weren't any cars that pulled down the driveway. There wasn't any visible light outside. You didn't even hear anybody outside. You just heard the generator go off. So there wasn't really, the only disturbance was that you could tell the knob was in the off position. Okay. That's really interesting.

Was it like a particularly noisy thing or had a weird noise to it? Anything like that? Nah, it was just a regular generator. I mean, if you heard it, you would have known when it was. Yeah. You know, anyway, I'm not sure outside, it might have been irritating to something that was outside in the area, but it was literally shut off. it reminds me of another an account that I got from an individual I believe it was I think it was northwest

Oklahoma where he had a really noisy one of those and he could actually he actually like looked outside and saw it like pretty much smash the door and and turn it off it's pretty wild but I mean yeah you never know what kind of sounds I guess would be something that they just were not a huge fan of for sure. I mean, a generator is loud even with the best ones. Yeah. You know, I mean, they can generate noise. Were there ever any weird things left around the property at all or like a weird

looking trees or anything like that? You know, I'll be honest, nothing ever stood out to me. But then again, if there was something, I don't think I would have noticed it. Because, you know, I'm in the middle of the woods. a tree falls down, it happens. Right. You know, I don't think I was knowledgeable enough to look for any of that. Yeah, I didn't know enough back then to, like I said, I didn't even associate it with

Sasquatch in the beginning, even though it stood to, I mean, it stood with me, even today, even after I know what it is that I, that I had to have seen, I still think about those days. there's still not a day that goes by that I don't think of those experiences and you know what's funny there was a Halloween when my brother he wore his gilly suit to scare the kids in the neighborhood

when they came trick-or-treating and I remember when I saw him in his gilly suit that day watching those two figures walk across the field just came flooding right back and I said wow

that's not how those that's not how those figures looked. That dating, those weren't gilly suits. There had to be hair. And I remember it was the first, and it had been years later when I saw my brother dressed in the gilly suit on Halloween. And it was the first thing I thought of.

And from that Halloween to when I saw those figures walking across the field, had to have been at least 15 years. And it was the first thing I thought of was those two figures walking across and those they were not wearing gilly suits because that's what my stepfather's sister thought that they were wearing

because it didn't look right when they walked across the field. Have you seen anything else that moves similar to what you saw that day either in real life or like in a movie or anything like that? You know what? In reenacting, you know, watching something that has a reenactment of what somebody saw and of a Sasquatch,

walking, those reenactments are the only thing that I've ever seen come close enough. This is Matt Rogers from Los Cultureistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang

Well, you know, it's funny. The house that we were living in at the time when I first had the experiences at the cabin, my little brother, the one that had the experience up the cabin, was adamant that there was, and at the time at this happened, he was only four.

but he would sit in our kitchen window and he would cry that there was a little boy in the house behind us that needed help. I mean, he would cry every day to the point where my stepfather had to go and ask, is there a little boy in this house? Because my brother would cry and he was only four. How he even would know who a little kid was that lived in a house because of the block over. but we could see the back of their house from the back of ours. My stepfather went around the corner and asked them, and there was at one time a little boy that lived in the house, but he passed away of a childhood cancer.

And the people that my stepfather were talking to were the people that bought the house from his family. And my brother was adamant there was a little boy. At one time there was, and maybe he needed to help because he was sick and that's what my brother was seeing but my brother doesn't remember that my stepfather does he remembers it because I remember

it really freaking him out I mean because my brother was adamant then he kept thinking maybe is there somebody in his little kindergarten class that lives there and has said something to him but no it had been a few years before and the family did lose a little boy from a childhood cancer so I know other people have had experiences in my family but nobody will acknowledge them like I do. I'm the only one that acknowledges it.

But I still have experience. I mean, I don't have a week that goes by that I don't. And no matter where I've lived, I've always had an experience. So I don't know if it's me because I don't recall. And I mean, we moved around a lot when I was a kid, but no matter where I've gone. I mean, even when I'm at someone else's house, I'll see things from the corner of my I'll hear things that nobody else heard. My whole life I've

I've had experiences. It just gets to a point where if it's not frightening to where it feels evil, I just roll with it and I just let it go. I don't give it too much attention and then I just keep going. Do you think you got that from a certain parent? I don't think so.

I don't think so. I've never picked up anything from either one of my parents that gave me that idea. Because I know when I've said something to the bold of them, they just looked at me like, I was crazy. Like, you're all right. They never really paid too much attention. Were you close to your grandparents at all? You know, I was very close to my grandparents.

As a matter of fact, their house was the only place I ever went to that I don't think I ever experience anything. I think it was the only place I've ever gone to where it was yeah, I don't think I've ever, their house I think is the only place I've ever been to where I felt comfortable. I think I've ever had the best night in my sleep when I was with my grandparents. I was very close to my grandparents. So you are still having this type of things happen like just right now. Oh yeah, just a couple of days ago. I was walking up my walkway and I could have, I mean, I could still hear it in my ears. I could hear something scratching on the floor,

almost like a dog running after you. That when I turned around, I thought it was my neighbor's dog across the street. She's always getting out of the yard. And she runs up to me, and I turn around. I open up their gate, and she goes back in. And nobody was there. I heard it because at first when I heard it,

it almost startled me. It's like my shoulders kind of like jumped because it was late. I didn't see anything outside. So when I heard it running up on me, it kind of like startled me a little bit. But as it startled me, I said, Daisy, and I turned around and there wasn't anybody there. I mean, it's, there's not, I mean, constantly I see things to corner my eye. I've been in my basement in the house I live in now, and I felt somebody, like, pushed my hair away to the side. When I was in my 20s, the place I lived in, you could hear something walking in the hallway.

I mean, everybody's dog was at the bottom of the door growling. There were four apartments. Everybody would open up their door at the same time to see who was outside pacing in the hallway. I saw a figure from, come from my living room, go into my son's bedroom. I was in the bathroom. It was standard clear as day. It was broad daylight. I was getting ready. I was just checking myself in the mirror. I was just brushing my teeth before I left the house.

And I saw it walk from the living room to my son's bedroom. I was in bed one night. And you know when you're just drifting off to that deep sleep and you're just adjusting yourself and kind of open up your eyes a little bit? Well, I did that one night. And as I rolled over, there was literally a shadow figure in my bed. I don't think I touched the floor. I went from the bed to the chair in the corner of the room. The lights from, I don't even remember turning lights on.

I don't remember touching the floor. But I said out loud, you've never gotten this close. I've seen you in the hallway. I've heard you. You cross the line. Do it again. And you're out of here. I will get rid of you.

I never saw it in my apartment again. I would still hear it outside the door. Where I live now, like I said, I've been in the basement. I worked in the building across the street from where I live. That's how I got the apartment was my boss. And a gentleman did pass away. One of the guys that worked in our shop, he had passed away. and he passed away in the building.

And one night I was having work done in my apartment. So I took my son with me across street to my office. And we ordered a pizza and we just wait for the guys to finish working. And my son said to me, Mom, do you want to ask your coworker if he needs a slice? I don't really talking about my coworker. It's 9 o'clock on a Friday night. There's nobody here. He said, Mom, there's somebody sitting in the conference room.

It's like, what? So I walked down the hallway in the conference room and there was nobody there. and my son said, Ma, he was sitting right here in this chair. So I said, oh, you know what? He might have just went down the back stairs. There aren't any backstairs, but I didn't want him to know that because I didn't want him to freak out, you know, because he was just a kid at the time, which I, you know what, I'm sorry, I'm going to take this to the left a little bit.

I do have to share a funny story. My son is stationed, he's in the Army, and my son is stationed in Washington State at JBLM. Now, whenever I see so many encounters around military bases and the base where he has stationed at, Fort Lewis, so one day I was on the phone with him and we're on video chat. And I wanted to ask him so badly, but I don't know if anybody's listening or, you know, I got a little paranoid. So I hold up a sign where we're on the phone.

It reads, have you or anybody seen Sasquatch on your base? because they're there. I'm like, blink, yes. So he just starts to laugh. And I'm like, is that a yes? Is that a yes? That's funny. A couple of days later, he went to buy some stuff for deployment,

like thermals and stuff. And there was a stuff, a Sasquatch on the counter. So he bought it, strapped it to his back, and was riding around on his motorcycle with it. And he sent me a picture. He's like, look what I got for you, Mom. It's a stuffed Sasquatch. You know, but yeah, I mean, it was, I just, I don't know, I just thought that was so funny.

I had to share that. I've actually, I'm hoping when he comes back from deployment that I can go out and visit because I would like to go walking, you know, hiking around there. I know I would love to go see Matt Reneer. Although my son says, no, you really just hope to see a Sasquatch. Right, exactly. It doesn't matter where it is. Oh, please.

At first I thought when he was first, before he went to Washington State, they told him he was going to Alaska. I was like, Jackpot! But Washington State, it's just as good. Do you think there's a reason why some people are more able to experience things than others? I don't want to say this to sound disrespectful or to sound rude in any way, but I just think that some people are not ignorant to the fact that there are other things. in this world that we don't know or there's other things in this world that exist,

but people want you to believe that they don't exist. I think that's what it is. I just think that some people are a little bit more open-minded and not so afraid of what everybody else thinks. And you know, and one thing I really want to say to other listeners and to other people that have had encounters, The government absolutely knows they exist. The scientific community knows they exist. Why they want the rest of us to think we're crazy is not right. But I just wish that everybody that knows exactly what they saw

didn't care what other people thought. Don't try to prove it. You know it's there. Stop trying to prove it to everybody else. Let them find out for themselves. Let them find the hard way. Because I'll be honest with you, I absolutely love in any situation,

Sasquatch, paranormal, whatever. When someone tells somebody they're crazy, you don't know what you're talking about, you're seeing things, and then they have an experience that rocks them to their core. I love those stories. I love those stories because it's so hurtful when you know what you're experiencing,

especially when you're afraid to have nobody there for you. So I just wish I could get other people to understand who cares what other people think. If you know what you saw, you know what you saw. Don't back down to anybody. Don't try to prove anything to anybody that you know for a fact. Don't worry about everybody else. The government knows they're there. Scientific community knows they're there.

Don't worry about what everybody else thinks. You know what you saw? Roll with it. I know it's scary. I, you know, the people that I hear where it changes their whole life, men that have hunted their whole lives can no longer go back to the woods. That's heartbreaking. People's lives are forever changed and never in a good way. Don't let people think, don't, don't let people tell you you're crazy.

Don't let people tell you that you're wrong. You had a mistaken identity. No. Don't do it to yourself Because it's not right With all the people in this world And they're in every continent They're all over the world

Everybody has their own version Everybody has their own name for it They're there Just as us humans exist So do they So the horses, the tigers Every being in this world that exists So do they

I mean the government now comes out And tells everybody yes aliens do exist. So you need to tell me nothing else exists, just the aliens. And I wish people remind themselves that they do exist. They are aware of. The world is aware of them. Don't let people think you're crazy.

Don't, don't do it. Don't let other people make you think you're crazy. Oh, yeah. I mean, man, I used to look at all the IP addresses that would come into the website. and there used to be a Department of Defense that would ping it all the time. It's like, yeah, I mean, they're really aware of all this stuff. And I mean, I just think that, you know, maybe this year, maybe the next year, you know, who's to say Bigfoot stuff is, you know, could start coming out. I think in a way it is, it is just, it's coming out.

I mean, just the fact that more and more people are sharing what they've experienced just all over the place in so many different, you know, shows and podcasts and YouTube channels. It is absolutely wild the stuff that is coming back. Oh, absolutely. And, you know, the funny thing is that you think about all the people that have come forward. What about the people that haven't? so for as many that have, there has to be three times as many that haven't.

And because there's people that have lived with these, their generations and their family go back to having experience with them. And when it's in your backyard and you accept the fact that they were here first, you're just sharing the land,

why are they going to tell anybody? They don't want people coming to their property. And you know, it's funny because as much as I know they exist, And as much as I wish everybody would just accept the fact, there are days where I don't want it to change because I feel once the world is told that they do exist, I feel for their safety. I worry that it becomes open season once people know for a fact. You know, the people that want to say, no, no, no, they don't exist. or the ones that want to go out

and hunt one to, listen, stop trying to hunt them to prove that they exist. They know that they exist. Just stop. You know, just stop. I think that's why if you can start to notice that certain counties

in the Pacific Northwest and different areas are coming out with these, hey, don't mess with Bigfoot or you'll be fined or you'll get in big trouble. They're not going to make a law for something that doesn't

exist. Right. Exactly. So you know, it's kind of like, okay, guys. They're not going to create a law to protect something that doesn't exist. You know, just stop worrying about what everybody in the world thinks. Stop worrying about what this one says. Just stand firm in what you know you saw and what you believe. And just why can't it be that way? You know, I mean, people, they'll experience it. back to that same area and then all of a sudden it's fenced off you know it's forbidden you can't go in this area anymore gee i wonder why you know but just let them live you know we just want to be left alone by our you know we want our neighbors to leave us alone why can't we just leave them alone they're here yeah share your experience let people know that you saw them but there's no need to

go hunt them to prove that they exist you know it's just i mean do you want to go to the jungle and have animals hunt you down because you exist. You know, I mean, just the way I look at it. I mean, call me crazy. I'd be called worse, but I'll do it crazy. I don't think so. I don't think so. I just thank you for coming on the show to share what you experienced in that.

That's an area of New York that we haven't had anyone come on and talk about. And just thank you for coming on and sharing that. Thank you for having me. And I'm sure some people are like, oh, this girl is what she's talking about. She's not even sure what she saw. It took her years to figure it out. But when something sticks with you and there's not a day that goes by where you haven't

thought about it, I didn't meet it up. You know, I'm not some little kid that was just bored and, you know, went home with a story to tell. You know, it's out there. It just, and I'm, you know, I hope it was interesting enough to share with everybody else. But I really do thank you for the opportunity and for giving so many. people, a platform to share without being judged, it really is, it makes a world of a difference. Thank you. I appreciate that.
