12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,240
This week I believe we are doing a missing person case.

13
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,400
Yes, we are on missing this week.

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,520
Alrighty, well episode 37.

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,600
Let's get into it.

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,200
Let's get into it.

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,620
So just as a content warning, today's story does involve a child.

18
00:01:04,620 --> 00:01:09,080
Today we are going to be talking about the missing person case of Jason Cannon.

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,880
And this takes place in March of 1983 in Boise, Idaho.

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,840
But first a little bit about Jason.

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,040
Jason was two and a half years old in March of 1983, but he was almost three.

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,360
He was born May 7th, 1980, and he would be 43 years old today.

23
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,560
But his birthday is within a few days of recording this podcast.

24
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,880
So he will be turning 44 within the next few weeks.

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,380
Jason lived with his mother, Janeane Cannon, and his stepfather, Rodney Beiser.

26
00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:42,540
They all lived on the 32nd Street in Boise, Idaho.

27
00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:45,440
Their apartment was a duplex style home.

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Jason's family said he was a shy but friendly child.

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,400
His mother Janeane said, quote, we used to take him to the store and sometimes he'd

30
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,960
follow other people around.

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,780
I don't think he'd be afraid of strangers, end quote.

32
00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:01,640
And now a timeline of events.

33
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:08,720
On Wednesday, March 16th, 1983, in the morning, Jason was playing across the street with neighborhood

34
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,280
children for around one or two hours.

35
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Later that day, around 2pm, Jason is back at his home playing with blocks on the front

36
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,440
porch.

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,880
Janeane is making brownies, but she keeps the front door and the window curtains open so she can

38
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,280
keep an eye on Jason.

39
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,480
Jason is wearing blue overalls, a light blue t-shirt, and black tennis shoes.

40
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,600
According to Janeane, quote, it was a nice day, but cold, so I went upstairs to get his

41
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,200
coat, end quote.

42
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Originally, Janeane said she was upstairs for only four minutes.

43
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,560
But years later, she'll say that it was no more than 10 minutes.

44
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,700
So anywhere between four and 10 minutes, she was upstairs getting Jason's jacket.

45
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:52,440
When she returns to give the jacket to Jason, he has disappeared.

46
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,960
Janeane says, quote, when I came back, he was gone, end quote.

47
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,380
Janeane spends about 15 minutes looking in and around their apartment for Jason.

48
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:05,480
When she can't find him, she calls police who arrive within minutes.

49
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,560
Police immediately began to search for Jason.

50
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,360
All together on the first day, around 50 to 75 people arrive to help search for him.

51
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Searchers divert water from Sand Creek.

52
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,000
And it looks like this has been renamed, whenever I looked at this on Google Maps, to Crane

53
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,400
Creek.

54
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,800
But this is a creek that runs behind Jason's family's apartment.

55
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,880
And it leads to Esther's Pond, which is a large swimming and boating area.

56
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,360
And it eventually leads to the Boise River.

57
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Searchers don't find anything along the ditch of the creek or in the banks.

58
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,200
And at this point, they have diverted water from the creek.

59
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,680
So they are able to just look at the bottom of the creek.

60
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,520
Searchers find a toy bucket that is said to have belonged to Jason about a third of a

61
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,040
mile away from his home.

62
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,760
Small footprints were also seen near the bucket.

63
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,280
But police will later say that this was unsubstantiated.

64
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,240
The search is called off at 1130 PM that evening with a plan to resume at daybreak.

65
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280
But there's no sign of Jason.

66
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,960
On Thursday, March 17th, this is the next day, police resume their search at dawn.

67
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,280
They start at the creek running behind Jason's home.

68
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:22,320
Searchers walk through the thick brush and divert water again from the creek.

69
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,000
Searchers also search the creek with rakes.

70
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,360
The fire department sends divers to the deepest part, where it's about four feet deep and

71
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,200
eight feet wide to search, from State Street to the mouth of the Boise River.

72
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,920
At around 330 that afternoon, police call off the search, believing that Jason was kidnapped.

73
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,360
Specialist Lynn Hope with the Boise Police says, quote, it's boiling down to look like

74
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,500
an abduction.

75
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,540
We have no leads at all and nothing to follow up on.

76
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:54,080
The consensus of opinion is that if he had fallen in, he could not have gotten down the

77
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,080
river.

78
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,220
There's too much debris and where the creek widens, it slows way down, end quote.

79
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:04,640
And I interpret this quote as meaning that if he had fallen into the creek, that they

80
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,520
should have been able to recover his body by now and that there's no way that it could

81
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,480
have gotten to the Boise River where they would be unable to recover it.

82
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:18,040
On Friday, March 18th, police interview family but do not believe that any family member

83
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,040
abducted Jason based off of their questioning.

84
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,960
Jason's biological father was in the Air Force in 1983 and stationed in the Philippines,

85
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,240
so he's also not a suspect.

86
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,440
On Saturday, March 19th, police say they are following up on tips but have no real leads.

87
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,360
Notably, around this day, they begin to walk back the abduction theory.

88
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,540
Sergeant Don Davis says, quote, he could have just as easily gone into the ditch.

89
00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:45,920
We just can't find him yet, end quote.

90
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,960
On Wednesday, March 23rd, Jason has been missing for one week and police say they get around

91
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,840
five tips a day.

92
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:57,360
Sergeant Don Davis says, quote, sightings have been from here to Canada.

93
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,240
I took a couple calls last night.

94
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,080
One put him in horseshoe bend and another in burly.

95
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,240
The people are very sincere, but a lot of little boys of that age look very similar.

96
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,120
We really have no idea of what happened to him.

97
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,880
We haven't ruled out kidnapping at all.

98
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,760
There's still the possibility he did fall into the ditch, end quote.

99
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,720
On Friday, March 25th, Jason's been missing for just a little over a week now.

100
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,200
Police assisted by speedboats from the Western White Water Association searched four miles

101
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,580
of the Boise River over the weekend.

102
00:06:27,580 --> 00:06:31,800
During the weekend search, no sign or clue of Jason is found.

103
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:37,640
Sergeant Frank Richardson says, quote, there is no evidence at all that the boy was kidnapped.

104
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,560
He was there one minute and he was gone the next, end quote.

105
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,120
Again, police here are really walking back their abduction statements as they believe

106
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,700
it likely he fell into the creek that ran behind his house.

107
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:55,200
On June 7th, 1983, so Jason has been missing for around two and a half months, but almost

108
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,020
three months at this point.

109
00:06:57,020 --> 00:07:01,000
Jason's family has moved from the apartment where Jason disappeared from as they couldn't

110
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,640
handle being there anymore.

111
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,040
Jason's stepdad, Rodney Beiser, couldn't sleep if he heard a noise in the night.

112
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,840
He says, quote, it makes me a nervous wreck.

113
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,960
I got to get up and see who it is and make sure they're not messing around.

114
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,560
I don't trust no one here anymore because I think someone stole him, end quote.

115
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,720
Before the family moved, Jason's stepdad would walk the creek every day after work,

116
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,600
often wearing chest waders so he could walk out into the creek.

117
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,000
He even once constructed a 37 pound dummy to see if it was possible for Jason to float

118
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,080
down the creek.

119
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,200
He says, quote, I threw it in and it floated one time and sunk another time.

120
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,920
It took me 10 times before I could get it to the end of the creek.

121
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,320
That's why I'm not convinced he's in the water, end quote.

122
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:53,440
On July 27th, so this is four months that Jason has been missing, about 30 volunteers

123
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,440
searched the Boise River for Jason, but no trace of him is found.

124
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,420
And this does appear to be the last organized search for Jason that I could find.

125
00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:09,040
On July 28th, 1985, so this is over two years now that Jason has been missing, police still

126
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,040
can't agree on a theory.

127
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:17,240
Sergeant Stan Wood, who in 1985 supervised investigations of crimes against people, believes

128
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,880
that Jason was abducted.

129
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,400
He says, quote, I think the probability is that if he had gone into the river, he'd

130
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,000
have been located by now, end quote.

131
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,320
On the other hand, Sergeant Frank Richardson, who specifically worked on Jason's case,

132
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,160
says, quote, we have spent hundreds of hours looking into the aspects of whether he was

133
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,160
abducted.

134
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,760
We can't rule out the possibility that he was kidnapped, but the probabilities are that

135
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,240
he went into the Sand Creek, end quote.

136
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,560
Janeane, Jason's mother, has been wracked with guilt.

137
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:51,600
She says, quote, people are always trying to find out why I wasn't watching him.

138
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,020
They say, what were you doing?

139
00:08:53,020 --> 00:08:54,320
Where were you?

140
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,200
There's no way I can turn back time.

141
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,020
I pretty much thought the worst of myself for even letting him go outside.

142
00:09:00,020 --> 00:09:04,760
For a long time, it was very, very hard to accept the fact it wasn't all my fault.

143
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,760
I still blame myself, but I try not to think about it, end quote.

144
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,140
Janeane still believes Jason is alive.

145
00:09:11,140 --> 00:09:14,280
She says, quote, I think somebody took him and sold him.

146
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,080
Somebody else is raising my son.

147
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,960
Somebody that wanted a kid enough to buy a black market baby, end quote.

148
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:27,160
And then the last real update I could find about Jason's case comes from June 6th, 1987.

149
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,280
So this would be over four years that Jason was missing.

150
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:36,000
Don Newell, who in 1987 was the commander of the juvenile section of the Boise Police,

151
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,240
says, quote, there is no reason to suspect foul play with Jason, but we keep the case

152
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,240
open just in case, end quote.

153
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,960
Police believe that Jason fell into the creek and was carried into the Boise River, and

154
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,120
that truly is the last update that I could find about Jason Cannon.

155
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,720
There have been no additional searches, and no trace of him has ever been found.

156
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:07,200
But if you know what happened to Jason Cannon in March of 1983 or his whereabouts today,

157
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:14,760
please call the Boise Police at 208-377-6790.

158
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:20,560
And the sources for the timeline today comes from the Idaho statesman, who almost exclusively

159
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:25,740
covered this case, and the Spokane Chronicle and the Charlie Project.

160
00:10:25,740 --> 00:10:28,040
So that is the case of Jason Cannon.

161
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,920
Yeah, I mean, it's just like really sad and bizarre.

162
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:38,040
I don't I just don't understand how things like that happen, but also like how quickly

163
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,040
that they can.

164
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:46,800
Yeah, I mean, it sounds very similar to the Tika Lewis case, you know, where her family

165
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,140
turned their back just for a second to watch somebody throw a bowling ball.

166
00:10:51,140 --> 00:10:53,080
And in that moment, she was gone.

167
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,640
And for our listeners, the Tika Lewis episode was?

168
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,640
Episode 35.

169
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:58,640
Oh, great.

170
00:10:58,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Okay.

171
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:05,620
So just for reference, and what Allie just spoke about, if you're new here, pop over

172
00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:07,760
to episode 35.

173
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,440
So you know what we're referring to.

174
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:18,880
But a question that or something that I found really frustrating about this case was how

175
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,720
they had this theory of abduction so very quickly.

176
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,520
And saying it was that's that's what happened here, because there was no evidence of anything

177
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:29,520
else.

178
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,440
And then years later, they're like, there's there was no evidence of an abduction in this

179
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,640
case, and he probably just fell into the creek.

180
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,720
And I don't know.

181
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:44,640
I I don't know how it can vary so wildly within the own police department where people are

182
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,440
like, if he went to the river, he would have been found by now, where others are like,

183
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,060
there's no sign he was abducted.

184
00:11:51,060 --> 00:11:53,000
So that's not what happened.

185
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,680
But I just think until you have evidence for sure that it was not a kidnapping, you can't

186
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:00,880
rule that out.

187
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,320
Just because there was no evidence here.

188
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,800
Like, it can happen so very quickly with kids, especially.

189
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,800
Yeah, I mean, I got to be honest with you, honey.

190
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:15,760
Like, this case is just like, I'm having a difficult time, like having emotional balance

191
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:22,120
talking about it, because like the I think it's like the the the phrasing of words connected

192
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:29,260
to like, a physical child's existence is just like, like to throw around the word abduction,

193
00:12:29,260 --> 00:12:36,320
you know, just like on its own for a human being, and then like, for this child, you

194
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,760
know.

195
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,880
And it's also like the sorry.

196
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:48,480
It's just really small, you know, and I don't know, I guess it's just it's hard to listen

197
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,760
to that they're like, well, if you just like fell in, I'm like, that's a whole person that's

198
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,880
just like, maybe gone.

199
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,360
Or like, sorry, this one, like, I mean, they all get me.

200
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:10,240
But yeah, it's like, don't you dare rule a single thing out until you are sure and don't

201
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,440
say anything to anyone until you are sure.

202
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:20,440
Yeah, listening to his mom, like, you know, that she there is not a moment that after

203
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,680
that happened.

204
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:23,320
She didn't relive that.

205
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:29,840
It I think that something like that, I imagine when you're a parent, that that moment becomes

206
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,840
your life.

207
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,240
I feel bad for the mom.

208
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,040
Like, I wish that those simple answers that are in those like few minutes.

209
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,920
I'm like, what?

210
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,040
Yeah, so I I've never been to Boise, Idaho.

211
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,400
Maybe some of our listeners are familiar with it.

212
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,960
But I was looking at Google Maps to kind of get an idea and looking at the area around

213
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,600
Jason's family's apartment.

214
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,880
And you know, the creek is right, right behind the apartment.

215
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,320
And in the neighborhood I grew up in, there was a creek that ran behind my neighbor's

216
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,320
houses.

217
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,960
So like, we as kids used to play around it all the time.

218
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:14,280
And so I recognize that that space can be very interesting to kids.

219
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:20,040
But one thing that it does look like is that there's a lot of debris and that it's it would

220
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,780
be a very slow moving creek.

221
00:14:22,780 --> 00:14:28,640
So with how quickly police and searchers responded and how logically that was one of the first

222
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,920
places they looked, which I think makes sense if you're looking for a missing child's like

223
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,280
you should check water nearby, especially something that's essentially in the backyard.

224
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,920
Clothing snags.

225
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,020
So like if someone you know, falls accidentally, like, especially if it's slow moving, there's

226
00:14:46,020 --> 00:14:49,600
more possibility that they'll catch or, you know.

227
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,120
Yeah, it'll slow them down, I guess.

228
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,600
Yeah, definitely.

229
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,480
And the fact that the stepdad kind of ran this experiment with like a dummy he made,

230
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,200
which is something that police do.

231
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Like I've seen police also kind of do these experiments with like dummies in water to

232
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:11,720
see, you know, where a body might land or you know what that sounds like.

233
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:17,860
But for the stepdad to do that and you know, him having a hard time getting the dummy down

234
00:15:17,860 --> 00:15:22,140
to float down the creek without getting caught, without getting snagged, without sinking.

235
00:15:22,140 --> 00:15:26,700
And with just how quickly police responded and searchers were in that creek diverting

236
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:33,320
the water looking away, like, or not looking away, but like looking in that area specifically.

237
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,720
It just seems wild to me that if that had happened, he would be missed.

238
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:44,160
You know, I guess there's always a possibility that a quick current was running at that time

239
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:49,960
and maybe the elements were just right that he could get farther than what they expected

240
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,480
and where they couldn't find him.

241
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:59,760
But yeah, this one, I just the fact that there's no consensus over even the theory of what

242
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,840
happened to him is really heartbreaking.

243
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:07,080
And it just kind of feels like police left it at he fell in.

244
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,540
So we're not really working on it anymore.

245
00:16:09,540 --> 00:16:11,000
You know?

246
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,600
I say it every episode, but I just like, I literally don't understand.

247
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:20,320
Like, so you just stop doing your job if it's like not working out?

248
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,320
Like what?

249
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,620
Yeah, it just I, I personally feel like Jason has been failed.

250
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:30,840
There's been no updates, no, no searches.

251
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,840
I couldn't even find an age progress photo of him because I don't think that the police

252
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,640
and Boise are asking for that because they don't think that he's out there anymore.

253
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,240
They think he fell into that creek.

254
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:49,320
So again, if you know anything about what happened to Jason or his whereabouts today,

255
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:56,640
please call the Boise police at 208-377-6790.

256
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:02,760
And while you're still hopefully here with us, we would love it if you could give us

257
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,760
a review.

258
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Yeah, if you're an Apple podcasts and can leave us a written review, it's so helpful

259
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:14,720
to help others find our podcast, which ultimately helps others find out about these cases because

260
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,760
these cases aren't being covered anywhere else.

261
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,280
You know, a lot of the cases we cover, this is the first time they've been talked about

262
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,280
on a podcast.

263
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:28,320
So getting them to as many listeners is the goal and your reviews help do that.

264
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,540
So if you can leave us a review on Apple, that would be great.

265
00:17:31,540 --> 00:17:36,240
If you're not an Apple, if you could leave us five stars, a thumbs up, a shining rainbow,

266
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,120
whatever the metric is, they're all different than your favorite podcast app.

267
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:46,600
Yeah, it helps us remain visible and like by keeping us visible, like the goal is to

268
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,480
keep all these folks visible and their names out there.

269
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:58,160
So yeah, like, subscribe, like and subscribe while you're in your phone too.

270
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,560
If you're not following us on Instagram, you can head over there and search us cold and

271
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,360
missing will pop right up.

272
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:09,440
Eli makes beautiful graphics every week for our episodes and we have pictures of Jason

273
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,640
that'll be up there so that way you can see what he looked like in 1983.

274
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,640
Really sweet little guy.

275
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,640
Sweet guy.

276
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,640
Yeah.

277
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,400
And with that, that's all I have.

278
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,600
So have a good week and stay safe, y'all.

279
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:35,160
Stay safe, y'all.
