Can't you see I'm the kind of woman I'm supposed to be. Hey, my vagina is eight miles wide. Absolutely everyone can come inside. If you're ever frightened, just run and hide.

My vagina is eight miles. Hi there, and welcome to the Bodi storytelling Podcast. I am sexual folklorist Dixie de La Tour, and this is episode 86. You guys, something really big happened this week. Something that made me cry. And, you know, I cry from time to time, but this was a good cry. I got notified by a reporter and they asked for photos for something, but they didn't tell me what the photos were for. And I was like, that's weird. Why would they be writing about us? That's interesting. And the next day, they sent me a link to the article and we got a best of. We got a Best of, Best of from Forbes magazine. Has Forbes magazine ever written about sex podcasts? Have they ever. This is not their territory. And to make the five best sex related podcasts to listen to, I kind of felt like now things are happening now. Somebody called it the Tipping Point, and I don't know if that's true, and it's probably not, but it felt so good to have Forbes magazine think that body storytelling is great. It just blew me away. I've been riding high as kite all week off of it. I wanted to share it with you. I couldn't wait to record the podcast because I got to tell you to. I just don't understand it. I'm so. I never thought I'd be any good at this podcast thing, but you guys love these stories, don't you? And obviously, people like reporters do, too. I just did another interview. It'll be coming up soon. And when I was having a phone interview with the reporter, I made him almost cry on the phone. And this is not the sort of outlet that would cry on the phone. That was my news for this week. I was really excited to share it with you. The other thing that happened this week is you guys have heard me talk about my St. Bernard quake, right? Quake's kind of the love of my life. It's so nice to go tour with the show and come back and there's this 165 pound monster who. I am his absolute favorite person in the world. Everybody deserves this kind of love. Just to have somebody so glad to see you when you walk through the door. And this week was his adoptiversary. Saturday was the anniversary of the date that I adopted him. And I'm going to tell you the story of Quake. It has nothing to do with sex, but it is a story. So I appreciate you listening. I have always had Saint Bernards. I just love how goofy their faces are. I love the fact that you can't really be depressed when you look at that face. You look at them and go, you're right, I'm being ridiculous. So I. When my last Saint Bernard Mac and cheese died, I was just. I couldn't really function. She died of cancer. I grieved her. I believe you should stop and grieve and not turn around and get another puppy just as soon as you can. And my partner bent and I talked about it and I said, I gotta have another dog. Like, a house is not a home without a dog. We talked about it. He said, I can't deal with a dog's death again anytime soon. It's gotta be a young dog. And we started looking at St. Bernard rescue places. We found one about three hours away, but it was a male dog. You guys, I identify as a pervert, and if anybody makes jokes about me, you know, having sex with a dog, that's when you get punched in the face. Like, I was like, I don't know if a pervert could have a male dog, but this dog was just adorable. I was in love with him. Except his name was Ricky and my name is Dixie. And I cannot have a dog named Ricky because people are gonna be making Ricky Bobby jokes for the rest of my life. And I just don't tolerate that. So we went to meet him, fell madly in love, gave him a bath, took him for a walk on the beach, checked him out and turned around to take him home. And I was like, now, now we have to rename the dog because it can't be Ricky. So I tried names the whole time. On the drive home, I'm yelling brisket into the backseat, anything that sounds like Ricky so that we can get this dog to kind of adapt to a new name. And nothing's working. This dog does not care. We get home, it's like midnight, and we settle down, make him a little bed right next to our bed, and we go to sleep about midnight and at 3:20am the whole house is shaken. It just feels like the windows are gonna break. The whole building is shaking harder than I've ever felt a building shake. And I sat upright and I went, oh my God, is that the dog? And my partner went, it's a quake. And the dog jumped on the bed and looked at us like, why'd you call my name? So his name is Quake. He named himself. This is the five year anniversary of the I don't know, I've heard 6.0. I've heard 7.1. It was a big earthquake. This is the five year anniversary of the Napa quake and the five year anniversary of quake coming into my life and upending it in the best possible way. So it's been a great week.
