All right, my love, this week we are focusing on a...

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:51,880
Cold case.

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:52,880
Cold case.

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,880
You'd like to jump right in?

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,160
Yeah, I think we should just jump right into this week's case.

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,160
Sounds good.

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Let's do it.

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,160
Let's do it.

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Today we are covering the cold case of Kenneth Charlot.

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:08,880
And this takes place in February of 2018 in Pass Christian, Mississippi.

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,720
But first a little bit about Kenneth.

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,760
Kenneth is 60 years old in 2018.

24
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,960
He was born August 5th, 1957.

25
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:19,480
And he would be 65 years old today.

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,200
Kenneth had lived in the small town of Pass Christian his whole life and was a proud gay

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,200
man.

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,240
In 2018, Kenneth was living alone on Seal Avenue in a home that was built by the Mennonites

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,900
after Hurricane Katrina.

30
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:38,320
The home is a platform house, so it sits up on stilts so any potential flood will pass

31
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:39,520
under the home.

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,960
Kenneth was a kind man with a set routine.

33
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:46,880
Gabrielle Malley, Kenneth's sister, says, quote, he only wore white t-shirts, Fruit

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,880
of the Loom t-shirts, Levi jeans, and white Chuck high tops, end quote.

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,920
Kenneth loved his family and they always came first.

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,360
Kenneth was one of seven siblings.

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,920
His sister, Gabrielle, says, quote, he's that favorite uncle.

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,920
He lived here in this house and one of the rooms in the house had video games and twin

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,000
beds.

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,120
When nieces and nephews came over, they could play video games, end quote.

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,160
Kenneth's best friend, Golman Ray, says, quote, he was my best friend.

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,000
I mean, he was somebody I could talk to about anything.

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,040
I could ask him to help me out with anything.

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,600
We may as well have been brothers, end quote.

45
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,160
And now a timeline of events.

46
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:32,400
On Wednesday, January 31st, 2018, at around 10 p.m., Kenneth's cousin, who lived across

47
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,440
the street from him, heard talking and noises coming from Kenneth's home but didn't think

48
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,440
anything of it.

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,600
Nothing sounded unusual.

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,200
The next day, Thursday, February 1st, Kenneth's family kept trying to call him all throughout

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,080
the morning and his family grow increasingly concerned when no one is able to get a hold

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,160
of him.

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,760
The police chief in 2018, Timothy Hendrix, says, quote, it was outside of his character

54
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,180
to be gone any length of time without notifying someone, end quote.

55
00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:06,480
At around 6 p.m. that evening, a relative of Kenneth's went to go check on him at his

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,920
home.

57
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:12,400
When they arrive, the first thing they notice is Kenneth's car is gone and there's water

58
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,440
leaking from under the house.

59
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,800
Remember, the house is up on stilts, so this is something that would have been visible

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,120
because you kind of drive your car right up under the house.

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,040
All the doors to Kenneth's home were locked.

62
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,960
Inside, the water had been left running as if Kenneth had been interrupted.

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,920
Kenneth's bed sheets were missing and there was blood in the kitchen and leading out of

64
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:34,920
the home.

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:40,080
The police are immediately called and Kenneth is reported as a missing person at this time.

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:47,140
That same day at 11 45 p.m., Kenneth's car is found engulfed in flames near 43rd Avenue

67
00:03:47,140 --> 00:03:49,120
in Gulfport, Mississippi.

68
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,680
This is about a 20 minute drive from his home in the past.

69
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Kenneth is not with the vehicle and the family holds on to hope that Kenneth will be found

70
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,040
alive.

71
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,240
On Friday, February 2nd, around 11 p.m. that next day, two men are walking on 29th Avenue

72
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,760
in Gulfport and find a body at the edge of the woods.

73
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,560
One of the men who find the body, his name is Eary Murray, and he says, quote, I saw

74
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,920
what I thought were mannequin parts and then at second look I realized it was a body, end

75
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,920
quote.

76
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,280
The two men call police.

77
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:26,120
Eary Murray told local news that it looked as if Kenneth had been shot in the head.

78
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,720
Eary also told local media, quote, he had underwear and a t-shirt.

79
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,660
He was almost in a fetal position and on his back.

80
00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:35,640
His legs were up and his arms were up.

81
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,800
His shirt was pulled up.

82
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,720
You could see where they had drug him across the road, end quote.

83
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:47,120
Police arrive on scene and immediately recognize Kenneth, but also declare it a homicide.

84
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,060
Investigator Austin Langfit says, quote, we believe the body was moved.

85
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:55,280
We do not believe it occurred where he was found, end quote.

86
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:00,520
Police immediately begin investigating Kenneth's case as a homicide and on Saturday, February

87
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,960
3rd, police chief Timothy Hendricks says, quote, this investigation into this senseless

88
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,360
act is in the early stages and very fluid.

89
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,460
We are receiving cooperation and information from multiple sources and verifying it in

90
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:17,560
a steady and methodical manner, end quote.

91
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:24,900
On February 12th, 2018, 11 days after Kenneth's murder, his memorial service is held at our

92
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:26,840
Mother of Mercy Church.

93
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:32,080
Then the case goes cold a little bit as far as media coverage goes, but it does appear

94
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,440
that police are actively working on it behind the scenes.

95
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:41,800
And on April 25th, 2018, this is two and a half months after Kenneth's murder, police

96
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,440
ask for the public's help in locating a man named Cornell Smith that they wanted to

97
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520
question about Kenneth's murder.

98
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:53,600
He was also wanted in connection to an aggravated assault that occurred days after Kenneth's

99
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,740
murder and on the same street that Kenneth lived on.

100
00:05:56,740 --> 00:06:01,480
Police chief Timothy Hendricks says, quote, it is believed that he may have significant

101
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,040
and notable information about the crime, end quote.

102
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,520
Kenneth and Cornell had become friends in the weeks leading up to Kenneth's murder.

103
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,000
Cornell did have a criminal record at this time in 2018.

104
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,040
He had recently served time on an armed robbery charge and before that he had served time

105
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,960
on a manslaughter charge from 1998.

106
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,240
Kenneth didn't pay mind to Cornell's history at all.

107
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,600
Kenneth's sister Gabrielle says, quote, they were friendly because he had a background

108
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,160
and we would mention that to him, but his feelings were he had paid his debt to society

109
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,400
so he didn't see any reason to hold that against him, end quote.

110
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:44,160
And then the next day on April 26th, police are able to track Cornell to Escambia County,

111
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,160
Florida.

112
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,200
Police are able to question Cornell and he's never been officially ruled out by police,

113
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,060
but he has never been charged in connection with Kenneth's murder either.

114
00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:58,040
Police will dig into Cornell's banking records to see if there's anything that they are

115
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,840
able to link to Kenneth, but nothing is found.

116
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:06,600
Cornell is currently serving time in a Florida prison on a kidnapping charge where he will

117
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,520
serve 20 years.

118
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,440
On October 18th, 2018, so this is eight and a half months after Kenneth's death, police

119
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,760
set up a reward of $2,500 for information that leads to an arrest.

120
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,280
Police Chief Timothy Hendrick says, quote, we don't want to know your name.

121
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,480
We just want to know your information in hopes it can help us put several pieces of this

122
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,800
puzzle together.

123
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,240
Some people have called in anonymous tips already, but we want more information to corroborate

124
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,380
and verify pieces of this puzzle, end quote.

125
00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:43,200
And then that's the last you hear about Kenneth's murder, at least in local media for several

126
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,360
years.

127
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:51,920
The next time that media picks it up is in January of 2021, just shy of three years of

128
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:52,920
Kenneth's murder.

129
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,640
The family offers a $5,000 reward for information.

130
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,200
Kenneth's sister Gabrielle says, quote, we just want people to put themselves in our

131
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,200
place.

132
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,540
If your family member had been killed in their home, which is supposed to be your safe place,

133
00:08:07,540 --> 00:08:11,880
and then your body is discarded on the side of the road, just put yourself in our shoes.

134
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,320
And if you know anything, come forward, please.

135
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,280
I can't think of anybody who would want to hurt Kenny.

136
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,600
It's totally senseless, end quote.

137
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:26,440
A few months later, on May 25th of 2021, a resident of past Christian donates $1,000

138
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,200
to the reward fund for information, bringing the grand total to 6,000.

139
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,000
And this reward is still in place as of 2023.

140
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,280
So more recently on February 23rd, 2023, this is five years since Kenneth's murder.

141
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,860
But just a few weeks prior to recording of this podcast, police announced a renewed focus

142
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:47,960
on the case.

143
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,720
Lori Massey with the Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers says, quote, we're trying to make

144
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,560
the public aware of this cold case, whether it's five years, two years, 20 years old,

145
00:08:58,560 --> 00:08:59,560
end quote.

146
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:03,560
Kenneth's family believe that he was the victim of a hate crime because he was a gay

147
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:04,560
man.

148
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,600
His sister Gabrielle says, quote, we're a small community.

149
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,640
We don't usually have these things going on in past Christian murders and stuff like

150
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,340
that, end quote.

151
00:09:13,340 --> 00:09:17,680
Police have dug through Kenneth's financial records and his phone, but no leads have come

152
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:18,680
from this.

153
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:23,800
The new police chief, Darren Freeman, says, quote, no one has been cleared or ruled out.

154
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,880
I can say that 100%.

155
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,840
It's just a matter of getting witnesses to come forward and provide us information, end

156
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:31,840
quote.

157
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:37,320
And with that, if you know anything about the murder of Kenneth Charlot, you are encouraged

158
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:45,800
to call the past Christian Police Department at 228-452-3300.

159
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:55,960
Or you can remain anonymous and call the Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers at 877-787-5898.

160
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:02,120
And the sources for the timeline today come from the Sun Herald, the Greenwood Commonwealth,

161
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:10,400
WLOX, WXXV, WXXV25, WDAM7, and the Seacoast Echo.

162
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,640
So that is the case of Kenneth Charlo.

163
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,080
Thank you for covering this case specifically.

164
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,480
All cases are important to cover.

165
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:31,640
But the thing about someone being more marginalized across intersectional identities, the more

166
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:41,160
likely it is that it is less covered, which is odd because they're a part of multiple

167
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,160
communities.

168
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,160
We are, you and I are both part of the queer community.

169
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,800
And for anyone listening who also is, I think you probably know what I'm saying when I'm

170
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,880
like that, you know, I didn't know him, but I know him.

171
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,000
But more on Kenneth, he seemed like an awesome guy.

172
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,200
I just want to before we get into it, it's really important to me, especially this time

173
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,760
that we like talk about who this person was.

174
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:14,760
I saw pictures of him with his family and he seemed like a really good guy and a good

175
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,360
uncle, a good family member, community member.

176
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,240
And on a happier note, I'm very, I'm like honored that he was, that he was and still

177
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,680
is a part of our community.

178
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:26,760
I wish I had known him.

179
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,760
Yeah.

180
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Family came first for Kenneth.

181
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,420
And that's something that I read over and over again and found in my research on this

182
00:11:33,420 --> 00:11:34,480
case.

183
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:40,120
There was a local media story that went to his house and you could just see all the photos

184
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,640
on his wall, like family photos.

185
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:48,360
His home was his sanctuary and his place for family.

186
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,880
And the walls were just like a living testament to how important his family was to him.

187
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,840
And his family is hurting for answers in this case.

188
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,120
They really want to know what happened here because this is their uncle, this is their

189
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,320
brother, this is their family.

190
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,320
And the community wants to know what happened here.

191
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,960
A lot of the community has come and supported, they've donated to the reward fund because

192
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,840
this like, that's not a part of the past Christian community.

193
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,540
That's not something that happens there.

194
00:12:19,540 --> 00:12:24,160
So everyone is appalled by it and want answers.

195
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,160
Yeah.

196
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,080
The word hate crime was mentioned.

197
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:35,320
It really clicked and made sense to me the imagery of, or the fact that, I think you

198
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,280
said his car was engulfed in flames.

199
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:45,760
Like that's a, it's a big statement and it's an image like associated with hate crimes.

200
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:52,800
Honestly, hate crimes and like up evil, like this versus this.

201
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,360
That's like what it's, I don't know.

202
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,360
That's what I thought of.

203
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,440
And that that makes sense to me.

204
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,880
That makes sense to you.

205
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:05,360
With the car being engulfed in flames, like my first reaction to that was just like, they're

206
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,680
getting rid of evidence.

207
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,600
Like that's what they're doing here.

208
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,400
Something this car was used in this crime.

209
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:17,960
And so this is somebody trying to erase themselves from being connected to it by means of fire,

210
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:24,800
you know, trying to get rid of DNA fingerprints, whatever, because you know, an engulfed car

211
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,480
is going to be found more than likely, especially like a beacon.

212
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,240
Yeah, you like be like, it's like lighting stuff on fire in that way is it's usually

213
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,520
to send a message.

214
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,360
I think that's why I leaned into that.

215
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,080
I didn't think about the evidence thing though.

216
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,840
That was very smart, honey.

217
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:48,160
Unfortunately, just in researching cases as I do, I come across like engulfed cars quite

218
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,160
a bit.

219
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,480
Okay, so maybe it's not.

220
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,480
Thank you.

221
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,480
That's good information to know.

222
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,560
And people just like cars on fire.

223
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:02,280
Yeah, usually though, what I found kind of notable about this, which I think could like

224
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:09,740
support like what you are saying is the area where the car was found was pretty residential

225
00:14:09,740 --> 00:14:14,880
from what I could tell from where I could kind of figure out between the reports of

226
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,160
where it was at and Google Maps.

227
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,160
You know, there's houses,

228
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,200
like a sub subdivision.

229
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Yeah, there's a lot of houses nearby.

230
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:30,760
There's kind of a camp area where people facing homelessness live.

231
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,840
So there's like a lot of people kind of in this area.

232
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,280
So you're going to see an engulfed car.

233
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,240
Yeah, like it would be not just like in our neighborhood, like we would notice it.

234
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:49,480
Yeah, whereas other times whenever I see that detail in a case, it might be more out in

235
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,920
like a rural countryside where maybe there there is a chance that it could be lit, burn,

236
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,480
extinguish itself without somebody finding it just because these roads aren't traveled

237
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,480
as much.

238
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,940
Well, we've, I think if you're at least in the Midwest, you've at least driven by something

239
00:15:04,940 --> 00:15:05,940
like that.

240
00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:09,720
If not that a barn that's been completely engulfed in flames or something that's just

241
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,720
left there.

242
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,480
That, yeah, I'm just echoing what you're saying.

243
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:20,640
But it does sound like in this case, the police seem to have some working theories, but they

244
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,380
just can't like put all the pieces together.

245
00:15:23,380 --> 00:15:28,600
And they're really like begging for people to come forward and just say what you know.

246
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,360
And it's like you can remain anonymous.

247
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:35,760
They're working with crime stoppers where you can speak anonymously and they have ways

248
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:42,520
of making sure that you do get the reward money if you wish to, you know, collect it.

249
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,560
And that's a motivation for you.

250
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,560
That's fine if it is.

251
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,760
But you can call crime stoppers and still get that, which is great for everyone.

252
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,820
Like you can remain anonymous and the police can close this case and the family can get

253
00:15:54,820 --> 00:15:59,160
some justice and Kenneth can get justice because he deserves it.

254
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,920
All our victims do.

255
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,120
Everyone deserves just to have an answer and the families deserve to know whatever they

256
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,200
need to know to come to terms with what has happened.

257
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,320
And that's different for every family member, I think, but anyone who wants an answer, I

258
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,560
think should be able to get it.

259
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:22,840
So again, if you know anything about what happened to Kenneth Charlot in February of

260
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:31,000
2018, you can call the past Christian Police Department at 228-452-3300.

261
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:39,120
Or again, to remain anonymous, you can call the Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers at 877-787-5898.

262
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:46,200
And we, of course, will be posting pictures of Kenneth that I was able to find from news

263
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,160
reports, from newspaper clipping.

264
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,520
So we are going to be posting those in the beautiful graphics that Eli makes.

265
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,180
Those are on our Instagram.

266
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:55,940
You can find us cold and missing.

267
00:16:55,940 --> 00:17:01,080
Just search that and we should pop right up for you while you're in your podcast app.

268
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,800
If you wouldn't mind leaving us a little review of five stars, a thumbs up, a rainbow, a unicorn,

269
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,080
whatever the metric is in your podcast app, we would really appreciate it.

270
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,080
We had a new review this week.

271
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:19,040
I have a sneaking suspicion it is from the same Sherry that left us a donation a couple

272
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,040
weeks ago.

273
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,120
So if it is the same Sherry, wow, thank you so much.

274
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:24,280
We really appreciate you.

275
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,240
If it is a different Sherry, we are doing very well with the Sherry's with the Sherry

276
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,240
demographic.

277
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,880
So tell your Sherry's.

278
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:33,880
We got the Sherry's.

279
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,180
We got the Sherry's.

280
00:17:35,180 --> 00:17:36,180
So that's all I have.

281
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:37,180
All right, baby.

282
00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:38,180
Thank you.

283
00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:39,560
Have a good week and stay safe, y'all.

284
00:17:39,560 --> 00:18:06,560
Stay safe, y'all.
