  • Right, like the state motto of an east coast state,

  • like the state motto of New Hampshire is, "Live Free or Die!"

  • That's a very intense state motto.

  • All right, if you're from New Hampshire, and you're living there, at some point, you have to start questioning.

  • Like how far do we take this?

  • All right, because I'm feeling a little imprisoned by this post office line right now.

  • And I don't know, man, maybe we should live out our state motto here!

  • Or like the state motto of Pennsylvania, or Massachusets, it's like, another east coast state, it's like something in Latin.

  • It's like, "Liberty, but only by the sword or I'll chop your head off." Right? It's like Game of Thrones book titles.

  • It's a dead language. I'm paraphrasing. Right?

  • And then you move west, and people calm the fuck down a bit.

  • Like you move southwest to Tennessee, and the state motto of Tennessee is "Agriculture and commerce."

  • Compared to "Live free or die!"

  • Agriculture and commerce isn't even a call to action.

  • Like it's not even, "Let's do agriculture and commerce."

  • There's no verb in that motto.

  • Do you understand? It means that there's no action word.

  • So the sentence has no direction. It's just concepts.

  • It's like everyone got to Tennessee and they're like, "Oh my god, the sun here is awesome!"

  • Yeah, agriculture and uh, (grumbles) commerce. Yeah, figure it out.

  • But not today.

  • Then you move further west southwest to Texas, right?

  • And the state motto of Texas is, does anybody here know what the state motto of Texas is by any chance?

  • I won't make fun of you if you get it wrong.

  • Lone star state? Good guess. That's wrong.

  • Anyone else?

  • "Don't tread on me," great guess, that's wrong.

  • "Remember the Alamo", bad guess, that's wrong.

  • Really? You're going to let this fucking foreigner teach you about your country? All right.

  • Your President's not going to like that.

  • But that's the energy, right?

  • What? Grab your guns. Don't fuck with Texas. Don't mess with Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas.

  • Build a wall. Fuck your mom.

  • No. The state motto of Texas... is "Friendship."

  • Yo! The state motto of Texas is the opposite of every commonly held connotation of the state.

  • That's a major failing on the PR department.

Right, like the state motto of an east coast state,
