What Is the Best State Motto? (Part One)

Rich Beadon and Vishu Sharma Season 1 Episode 7

State mottos are short phrases officially adopted by individual U.S. states to represent a state’s identity, values, and aspirations. These mottos typically appear on state seals, flags, and other official symbols, and serve as concise expressions of a state's culture and character.

With each state having their own unique motto, it makes one wonder; which state motto is the best? Join Rich and Vishu as they attempt to answer that question by matching up all 50 state mottos against each other in a WWE gauntlet style tournament, evaluating and eliminating mottos one by one, with the final motto remaining being declared as “Best State Motto”.

Note: This is part one of a two part episode. 25 state mottos are discussed in this episode, and the remaining 25 state mottos are discussed in part two (releasing on 8/24/23).
