This "Husband Calling Contest" At The Iowa State Fair Is The Most Uniquely American Thing I've Ever Seen
The Iowa State Fair has given us a lot to talk about this year!
We've gotten this thirsty-ass picture of Senator Amy Klobuchar and shirtless firefighters:

We've gotten ridiculous fried foods like this year's *infamous* deep-fried bacon brisket mac n cheese grilled cheese sandwich:

And now, I'm just discovering the "husband calling contest."
The Des Moines Register posted clips of this year's contest on TikTok, and it's pretty good:

From this barking woman...
...to this lady who sounds like a rooster.
This woman is like the Celine Dion of husband yelling... She held that damn note!
Ultimately, I'd say this is one of the most uniquely American things I've ever seen.
I aspire to be all of you.
