A quick warning.
There are curse words that are unbeeped in today's episode of the show.
If you prefer a beeped version, you can find that at our website thisamericanlife.org the state of Iowa has a little more than 3 million people.
1 million come to the state fair.
Strolling past the swine barn and the kids talent show stage and the lemonade shake up stands and the many, many corn dog stands and the Central Iowa Railroad Club exhibit building in the chainsaw art and the live snakes in the vast slowly moving rivers of people.
Every one of those million is here on their own personal quest for what they want out of the fair.
Stuff they want to do.
Stuff they want to see.
Everybody has their own mission.
Declan and Killian for instance.
Seven and nine years old brothers from a suburb of Des Moines.
They want to see the giant bull.
Gillian, the big brother talked to my co worker Diane Wu.
Why are you excited to see the bull?
It's one of my favorite animals.
How come they can see red and red's my favorite color?
What?
You said it was black like every day.
That's little brother Declan with a fact check about Killian's favorite color being black.
Another fact check.
