We are sharing episodes every week here on Patreon, including some people have commented they really love the video version. So those are here on Patreon. And as always, the membership is dirt cheap, $5 a month. The address is patreon .com slash super yes. So there's really no good reason

anyone to be left out of the fun.

Tanya's past two weeks, my Alaskan cruise and a really amazing party I helped host last night that has me absolutely exhausted today but also floating because of the goodness and we have missed you. So thank you for being patient with our crazy schedules and hanging out with us today.

Tanya (01:22 .542)

We really have so much to talk about today. So here we go.

Tanya (01:33 .996)

I'm not sure if you noticed our music didn't upload in our last podcast, so there was just awkward silences abounding.

Jasa (01:42 .257)

Well, I'm glad we've learned to be comfortable with awkward silence, because we hear it, we hear the silence every week.

Tanya (01:48 .79)

Right, yes, and it is a little bit awkward, but you know, what I want to say to you is welcome home from your journey.

Jasa (01:57 .031)

Thank you, was an amazing journey, still reeling, trying to catch up on sleep because it was a busy, cruise. But you know, I said to Cliff, it's kind of like working on the dairy farm, especially during hay season. We just worked all day every day and just practically fell into bed, but it was just fulfilling, satisfying work. And you know, to see the joy on all 2 ,000 faces of the passengers.

that had paid to be on a Gaither cruise and to see their enthusiasm and their excitement. And so many of them, it's a once in a lifetime trip. They have saved for this, they have planned for this, this is the last thing they're ever going to do, a big trip. First time seeing Alaska, first time seeing the Gaithers live. It was great. It was absolutely phenomenal. Look at my Sandy Patty cap.

Tanya (02:49 .634)

Your Sandy Patty cap is phenomenal. Yeah, the first thing I noticed was that you had that on.

Jasa (02:55 .679)

It is adorable. So we've sold out because they were such a hit, but I think we're getting more. Mm -hmm. Cause you need one. I need you to have one. Mm -hmm. -huh. It is. It is.

Tanya (03:01 .1)

Really? Okay. Well, you need to put my name down. Yeah, I do need one. Well, first of all, they're cute. They're black and white. That's my colors. That's my whole aesthetic is black and white. And they're just they're just pretty. So yeah, I'll I will wear Sandy Patty merch any old day of the week. I would love that. Yeah. So so a lot has happened while you've been gone friend. I want to hear all about you though first. I just want to

Jasa (03:15 .889)

Mm -hmm.

Jasa (03:23 .739)

I want you to because I'm telling you I've already started telling you stories this morning and you were like save it for the podcast Because not only I mean we had this huge cruise which was huge huger than huge and then had this party last night that was incredible and you know before I went on the cruise I flew into Virginia for a few days and Felt I mean there's I feel how am I trying to say this? There's nowhere else that I feel more love than with my grandkids

Nobody is that excited about me coming. And so the joy of my heart, my heart is still soaring from that. I just cannot get over it. Like, they're to the point now that it's like, Lovey, sit by me. Lovey, sit by me. And just super, super sweet. Lovey, I want to show you something. It was so, so sweet. So anyway, I say all that to say start first. Because I barely know.

Tanya (04:19 .042)

Well, I mean, I hate to start first. I hate to start first. Well.

Jasa (04:21 .883)

barely know what you've done. I had so little time on the cruise and I missed you. I would just send you the text going, I missed you. What am I missing?

Tanya (04:29 .966)

I'm so busy, I can't talk, I miss you. Well, what I was also gonna talk to you about is you got caught up in trying to get to Virginia and then flights being canceled and then Cliff, yeah. And then, yeah.

Jasa (04:40 .25)

Yes!

If my husband was not magical when it comes to flights, wouldn't have gotten to go. But you know, with that IT thing that affected Delta the most, like, I'm just glad he knew a workaround. Like he called him and said, I need a workaround. This is important that she gets there. And so he got me there. But there are people have horror stories of missing. Well, mean, Point of Grace just told me yesterday they were in Michigan and had to be in North Carolina and they

delaying, delaying, ended up canceling their flight. They had to get on a different airline, fly to Nashville, rent a car, drive to Asheville. The show started at 730. They got there at 8 .05. They had to get on stage in their travel clothes by 8 .15 and everybody just went with it. And I was telling them, you know what, as an audience member, we love being a part of something like that.

Tanya (05:19 .575)

No.

Jasa (05:37 .915)

Their flight was canceled. They're driving in. And so they just got up there in their travel clothes and it was just a ball. But it's happening all over the country, all over the world.

Tanya (05:47 .98)

Wow, what a story. I didn't know that happened to Point of Grace. They're just such professionals.

Jasa (05:50 .949)

Yeah, well that was just yesterday. Yeah, it just happened like they got home from Asheville yesterday. So it was the day before yesterday that they were in Michigan trying to get to North Carolina and then what am I asked?

Tanya (06:04 .802)

Yeah, so there's this new kind of a thing on social media. I don't know if you've seen it yet where people are saying, if I can't drive there, I won't go there. And I'm not opposed to that
