T\u2019was 1869 (nice) and a farmer named William \u201cStub\u201d Newell hired two men to dig a well on his property. He told the men where to dig and left them to do their thing. The men dug and dug. They were only about three feet deep when they hit something. It felt like a stone. They dug around it. They cleared dirt off of it. They soon realized that they hadn\u2019t hit a stone; they\u2019d hit a gigantic foot. They kept digging. When they cleared all the dirt away, they realized that they were looking at the petrified body of a giant. T\u2019was a sight to behold! He was a full blown meaty boi!

\n*Kristin first told this story during our live episode taping at Obsessed Fest, where she was so nervous that she couldn\u2019t talk about the Cardiff Giant\u2019s massive dong. Brandi, however, had no such misgivings. We\u2019ll put the recording from the live show on Patreon at the $10 level as soon as we get it. In the meantime, please enjoy this recording straight from the sex dungeon.

\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
