And here we go with the first Minnesota Goodbye of twenty twenty four. It was a little tricky because I was spending time digging through some of the spammy press releases that we got while we were on vacation, so I have not pre read these. And by the way, it is Naughty Tuesdays, so I'm not sure we're gonna have any Naughty Tuesdays in here or not, but let's try this one. In honor of Naughty Tuesday, I thought I would tell you the story of losing my virginity in Walt Disney World back in two
thousand and three. Spring At two thousand and three, I had just turned twenty one as my mother and a friend of mine, Tina, embarked on a trip to Disney for a week in May of twenty twenty of two thousand and three. This was back when Pleasure Island at Disney World still existed, the twenty one only nightclub that is now Disney Springs. This is relevant.
My friend and I had gone too Pleasure Island that night, and towards the end of the evening we met two cute brothers our age from Ireland that we invited back to the hotel. We were staying at Disney's Polynesian and if you're familiar, it's right across from the Seven Seas Lagoon from the Magic Kingdom. For reference, if you're on the beach at the hotel, you can see
Cinderella's Castle across the lagoon. All so relevant. So we bring these two guys back to the resort and we're flirting and drinking with them in the pool, and Tina and I separate off of the two brothers to separate sides of the pool. They are flirting way harder than we are, and at one point, maybe fifteen minutes later, we look over at my friend and the other brother are buck naked and he's banging her up against the edge of the
pool. Wow. She was super sore the next day. Lol. Another couple walks by on the way back to the room that we had met on the way to Pleasure Island, and they stopped and they're staring at these two going at it. The girlfriend is trying to pull the guy away and saying stop staring, and he's like, yeah, let's go. Then he stops her again to turn back and is like, no, weight, I guess
I have to look for a few more seconds. So while my friend and the other brother are going at it, the other brother asked me if I want to go sit in the beach and look at the castle. So we go to one of those covered cabanas with two beach loungers. Well, one thing led to another, and here I am losing my virginity on this beach
chair looking directly at Cinderella's magical castle in Disney World. I never saw this guy again, but I would never change my quote first time story for the world because it was magical af and honestly, I'm glad I didn't lose it to some guy that I was dating when I was twenty one, because I wouldn't be married to that guy now and he would always have that special thing for me, where having it with a stranger yet in a special place to
me is always going to be a happy, awesome story that I will cherish for the rest of my years. Love you all, I am your biggest fan. I would love to put in here that I would love. Oh, I would love her. I'm sorry, I would love another one that I would put in a very prominent spot. Oh she means a sticker. Yeah, So I pasted my address chesting case. But I also understand if you don't think anybody should get two. I'm going to stop because I am
running short now on staff rider stickers. But Janna, thank you very much. What a great story. Wow, most people have awful losing their virgin or maybe not awful, but awkward losing it's like in a tent at a campground. Or mine was with my girlfriend. We were both virgins, she said she was, there was some doubt later, and so we didn't have anywhere to go because we both lived at home. So I went to my friend Scott's house and gave him money to go see a movie. So we'd
have a couple of hours at the house. And it was awkward and it was not It was just awkward, yeah, and just weird, and neither of us really enjoyed it that much. But I'm glad we got out of the way. Next one, Hey, friends, I have a situation having a couple of days ago. I need your opinion on long story short.
I live in an apartment and had a package stolen. I will mention I live in Dallas, so our front doors are outside, but I do live in a gated community, so most likely it was somebody who lives in my same complex. I went to the apartment office and was caught on surveillance of two older teenage girls, probably sixteen or seventeen, taking the package. The front office did some research and actually found out who did it and got the
package back, which is great. I was told that the office manager will be contacting me today when she gets back in the office on the steps they are going to take for the theft. But my question is do you think I should also press charges. They're not little kids who didn't know better. They were older teens who are not making smart choices, and taking mail and packages is a felony. Love you guys, that is from amy. Shouldn't you press charges? I would not, Yeah, because a couple of reasons.
Number one of felony is serious, and that can if you have a felony, is going to be hard to get a job. And plus they might retaliate, and they know where you live. And if they're assholes enough to take a package, they might also, I don't know, throw a rock through your windows, slash your tires, key your car. I would say, don't, but I would say I want to meet with them and I want to say, I want to meet with them and their parents and say I want you to know what a big deal this is and how upset
it made me. Yeah, because this is not just a package thief. This is my personal stuff. Have you ever had your car broken into? I know I haven't. It's such a violating feeling. Yeah, because it's your stuff, it's your personal property, and that somebody would steal it. It's such a violation. So I would sit with the parents and them and say, I want you to know how this made me feel. Not give them a lecture of you need to know how serious this is, because they're
not going to give a shit about how serious it is. But if you can impress upon them how it made you feel, then maybe they'll learn something. Yeah, And I mean hopefully they aren't doing this. Maybe it was like a one off thing, but they might have just, you know, did it one night. They're like, let's go out and do something dumb, and you know that really could ruin their lives. I wouldn't go the
route of I'd want to sit down and talk to them. I would ask, like the security or whoever else is getting involved with it, to be like, you know, she could have pressed charges and she was going to, but but she didn't. Yeah, so like kind of like put it out there of like how serious it could have been. Yeah, because you know, I'm going to guess they're probably normal kids who decided to do something stupid and they're lucky that she doesn't press charges because, like I said,
if felony can be a big thing. Hello, all glad you're back writing for some insight regarding grandparents. My dad's parents live in Idaho. My brother and I used to go there every summer, all summer long, from the time we were kids till we both stopped after our junior year of high school. We're both now in our thirties. My son and I both go to visit them at least once a year. We stay for a week or two at a time, and I speak with my grandma on the phone a few
times a month. My brother hasn't gone since he was eighteen, and he does not call them. But as grandma says, he's my favorite because that's my insert brother's name, So Steven, let's say he's my favorite because that's my Stephen. However, last time I spoke with my grandma early November, to preface, I know they're okay and safe and healthy per my family who lives closer to them. They're active and busy. When I spoke to my
grandma last she said I'll call you back, and then hasn't. Thanksgiving past and now Christmas and New Year's and she still hasn't called me. I've tried calling on both Thanksgiving, Christmas and no answer. I've tried regular phone, FaceTime, and even a telegram. I joked with my husband that I should just fly out there and bang on the door. But joking a sign.
I'm pretty sad that she hasn't even tried to contact me. We've been close and I've even flown out there to take care of them after surgeries as the family there refuse to do so. Do I just keep continuing to try to contact her? Yeah? Yeah, I think because you want to. I cannot explain why Grandma's acting that way, but I think you should try to
contact her. Mm hmm. I don't know. That's yeah. I grandparents some of them might not know technology as well, you know, so like if she's doing everything she can reach out and I don't know if it's a cell phone she's calling or what it might be. And a lot of people, especially on holidays like Christmas, thinks giving, they're not going to answer a phone call, like if they're busy with celebrating holidays. But I would
keep calling as much as I could. Not constantly, but I'd probably check in every couple days and see if I can get a hold of her. I would too, But she's tried phone, FaceTime and a telegram. Yeah, and Grandma is deliberately avoiding you for some reason. I would maybe ask around and find out why is Grandma avoiding me? What did I do? Because obviously Grandma's pissed about something, or depending on how old Grandma is, she could have some sort of dementia and she is just not the same as
she used to be. So ask around a little bit. Rinita, big supporter of the podcast, has another year is ended. I'm taking down the twenty twenty three calendar. Once again. I'm faced with a dilemma. What do I do with my calendar? I typically have a Thomas Kincaid Disney calendar, and it feels so wrong throwing the art in the trash, But what else am I going to do with it? I mean, the only one
who thinks like this. I have saved calendars or planners from the years I was pregnant in time capsules so my daughters can look at them back, look back on them someday. Does anybody else do that anyway? I know, super random and not exciting, but that's what I'm thinking. This very moment is my twenty twenty three calendar is under my arm. She wrote this at one fifty eight on Sundays in New Year's Eve, and I'm typing out this
email getting ready to walk across the road for a New Year's celebration. Happy New Year, Everyone cheers your friend, Rinita. Throw it away, Yeah, throw it away. Throw it away as somebody who in my life has saved sentimental things like birthday cards, Christmas cards, kids art. Throw it away because you get to a point in your life where you go, who wants this? Yeah? Who? Okay? I looked at it. I enjoyed it, I respected it, I appreciated it. Throw it away.
I've got so much to throw away. I found birthday cards and Christmas cards from Carson and Allison when they were little, and it's hard to throw them away. But they're not going to want them. I'm at a point now
where I'm giving Alison things that I want to stay in the family. For example, my dad had my entire childhood, or most of my childhood a framed picture in a wooden frame that hung on the wall when he was a little boy in the middle of nowhere, Montana, and he taped a little story to the back of it that says, this hung on the wall at our log ranch house in Montana for as long as I can remember. I don't know where it came from, but it very likely came with the family
when they moved to Montana from Kansas in the early like nineteen tens. Who knows where it came from before that is well over one hundred years old. It could go back as far as the Civil War. Nobody knows. And I've kept it, but I don't want to one day be gone and have Alison look at it and go, what's this? Yeah, So I taped my dad's description to it, and I gave it to her because that is something that that's a family heirloom. Yeah, But other things, like Alison's
old art work, she doesn't want it. Yeah, youd see the picture of her old in My Weekend in five Photos of the case, the bookcase of all of her old little statues and books and knick knacks and things like that. Yeah, she wanted all that stuff. Oh good, So we boxed it up and we gave it to her this weekend. I think because Alison and I are pretty similar in age and we're at this phase in life where we do come home to our parents' house and they're like, you either
take this or it's getting thrown out. Like that's what a lot of things are. And one thing that I saw on TikTok that I could relate to. Do you remember those big maps. It was like a cardboard map of the United States, and you there were a little hole on each state to put a quarter in. Yeah. Course, So my sister and I had those, and my dad still has them. He hasn't asked asked us if we like want them or now you collected them yourself, Yes, like we
collected them myself states. But that was like one of the funniest thing. I was like, oh my gosh, that's such a thing that parents now are like here, take it or else it's getting tossed. Because I think we also at one point thought it was going to be worth money someday if we had every quarter from every state. It's not like there's so many quarters circulating that have all the states on it. But that's so cool because Alison
and Carson got that from my grand from their grandfather. And the funny thing was he's mount He collected all the quarters for them, but he mounted them all heads up so you could not see the the state part, and it cracked us up. It's like, how did he not realize he mounted them all in the little hole's face up? Yeah, Cindy says, hello,
favorite morning show, longtime listener. Here for the second year, I'm hosting a New Year's e party, but I'm doing it over brunch time, complete with Mimosa and bloody Mary bar, my grandma's famous carmel rolls, and homemade breakfast pizza. We do a count down to twelve o'clock noon. We have a great day drinking, snacking and playing cards with friends. Added bonus of being bed at a decent time and no more January first hangover? Is this a sign that I'm getting old? Ha ha ha. Hope y'all had a
great holiday season. If you still have stickers, I would love one. I will send you one Sydney. Absolutely, I think that's great. I've never heard of that tradition, but I love it. I like it too, because you're having fun when you have energy and you're not looking at the clock going oh god, it's getting late. Next one. Hello, miss you. This week, it's been a good time to catch up on other podcasts. I wanted to write in to clarify the email from Bailey from the
last podcast with the Santa gifts. What I assume she is saying, because this has become common for many, is that the Santa present should be smaller or lesser value. Have the big gifts come from mom and dad. Why should Santa get all the credit? I kind of remember this one. Do you remember it, Jenny? Yeah? It was because the parent was unsure of how much presence to give a kid, and we weren't sure if it was because they were going to be comparing it to other kids who don't get
as many. Yep, So I think that's what it was. That's why when kids go to school and compare what Santa brought them, it's not so xbox versus football, it is smaller things instead. Okay, but as far as what parents give, have at it's been the thousands. If that's what bring you joy, just keep the from Santa Budget smaller that is from Vanessa in Pine City. Do you have time for one more? Yep? Hello,
leave my name out. Is how you handle it when you're given a gift from someone and you didn't buy one for them, or when the gift you do give them is not comparable to what they've spent on you. For example, you spent one hundred dollars and they clearly regifted something cheap. I hope you guys had an amazing holiday break. Would love a sticker if you're
still doing them. That is nicky and maple Grove. That is something that probably happens a lot among friends that don't really I don't know, have expectations, Like, for example, my friend Wendy, I gave her a journal, and she gave me like a pair of socks and some other cool little trinkets, and she spent more on me. But we're friendly enough that she doesn't care and I don't care. Yeah, you know, so it's not
a big deal. But I definitely can understand how it would be awkward if you gave somebody a hundred dollars present, and they gave you a five dollars Starbucks card. I think you got to log those moments in your mind. Just remember for a next next year, like maybe don't spend as much money. That's what I would do in that situation. Yeah exactly, But I
mean hopefully you remember next year, and then that is it. Because we ran out of emails for the Minnesota Goodbye, send in emails for tomorrow's Minnesota Goodbye. Whatever you want to talk about, whether it's I don't know, New Year's anything, or anything that you want to talk about. Always love and that's why you get a staff writer sticker, because you write this show. Jenny and I really don't write it. We just respond to it.
So send those in to Ryan's show at KDIWB dot com. And if you get a story for Naughty Tuesday, then just put the subject line Minnesota Goodbye Naughty Tuesday and we'll get that on next week. Thank you very much for listening to the Minnesota Goodbye and Happy New Year,
