28 of the Unidentified Alien podcast, Stephen Deiner right here. Karen Curtis over there, glad to have you back with us. Or if it's your first time joining us, then sit back and enjoy. And you can always find the other episodes, too. And we'll tell you how. Karen, how are you? I'm well, thank you. Good, good. Today is going to be, I think, a lot of fun. I think we're going to have fun with this one because we're going to venture off the beating path a little bit, off the traditional path that we've taken throughout the course of this show, but still tie it back to the mystery and aliens and things of that nature. But we're going to talk a little bit more about giants. Did they really exist?

It's sort of weird. You know, we talked about different types and species of aliens.

Right. And I think we kind of sort of got into different sizes of aliens. But this idea of giant people, maybe being hybrid human aliens.

Right. And hairy, wild, big giant men.

So things are getting weird in here now.

But we got a lot to get to with that.

So it's going to be fun.

But before we get into these mysteries here today, Karen, do you have a factoid for us?

I do.

Oh, good.

So I'm going to, since we're

talking about giants today, did you know, there's tiny people that live in Hawaii. Excuse me? Yeah, tiny little people. They're not gnomes. Okay. They're called Minahoon. Oh, the Minahoonie, sure. Yeah, it's M-E-N-E-H-U-N-H-U-N-E. Minahoonie. Because in Hawaiian language, you pronounce all the vowels, which I worked there in radio. So you know. Well, it took me a while to know how to say stuff. I would get people calling, tell her it's Makawao-W-W-K-W-W. And then one day it came over the wire. they had just passed the state fish, the Humu-Humu-Nuku-nuku-nuku-Oi fish.

Are you still remember? And then one day it came over the wire, they had just passed the state fish, the Humu-Humu-Nuku-Nuku-Oi fish.

You still remember to this day.

Oi.

Anyway, the Minahune are mythological dwarf people in the Hawaiian tradition, and they're said to live in the deep forest and hidden valleys of the Hawaiian

islands, and they are hidden so far away from human settlements that they're rarely seen,
