Welcome to Good Mythical More, I am so excited to be here. And I can’t hit this and move my mouth. You’re supposed to be bleeping me. I can also bleep myself. You can’t… You can’t… You can’t… I’m in charge of it. Well, I was giving you an opportunity. You gotta bleep words that sound like they’re . “They’re” is not a word to be bleeped. I’ll get better at it. I’ll get better at it. But will you? We’re gonna find out which states… Which curse words are most popular in which states, and other things related to curse words and states. I hope Vermont is in this list. Yeah, the S word. They love the S word. It’s not a bad word there. It’s not a bad word, my dad told me that. And he told me that in fourth grade. ‘Cause it’s about the chickens. We’re donating $1000 to Equal Justice Initiative, don’t bleep out the charity. Yeah. Shouldn’t do that. I would probably say that you should set the bleep button aside while I finish this. Yeah. Just, you know, word to the unwise. Yeah. We’re donating $1000 to Equal Justice Initiative to aid in their mission to end mass incarceration and excessive punishment, to challenge racial and economic injustice. Anything you wanna bleep out in this? And to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society. Please join us in giving at E-G, or eji.org. Eji.org. Thank you for being your Mythical best. All right! Remember those Staples buttons? What did they say? Oh, “That was easy,” okay, yeah, I couldn’t remember. “That was easy.” That’s a pretty good censor sound. Yeah, actually, it’s great. It’s a good bleeping sound. It’s a good bleeping sound. Can we give an on-air shout-out to all the Mythical Crew involved in the videos from the main episode? Because… On-air shout-out! Those were hilarious. So funny. Okay, here is your first state-related curse word question. According to customer service data, where does the state of Louisiana rank in terms of how much they swear? Louisiana. Out of the 50 states. The South is less than the rest of the country, is my theory, being from the South, where… You talking Bible Belt here? Yeah. Really? But then you got that Cajun panache. It does skew it a little bit, so, where does it, and so the more you curse, the lower the numbers, like number one would be the most cursing, number 50 would be the least cursing. Yeah. 32. 19. You think there’s 31 states that… Okay, well. Curse more than Louisiana? Yeah. Yeah. The answer is 50th. The last. Oh, it’s the very last! I thought the Cajun panache. There’s so many… I would’ve said that Mississippi was the least cursing state, because whenever you look at demographic information about the most religiously conservative people on the planet, they’re in Mississippi. So… I am being told that DC is included, so, I guess technically not the… DC’s 51? No, no, just like, technically not last last place. Okay, not last place, okay. Huh. According to another survey, based on state to state data collected from Twitter, which two words does Louisiana favor the most when swearing? Well they don’t swear much, and then, so if they do, are they going as hard? Probably not. We can say damn and hell on the internet, right? Yeah, those are not… bad enough. Is that your two? D and H? But because they’re not bad enough to be curse words on YouTube, are they acceptable…? That’s what I’m saying, no, they’re not in the, so your options, I’ll give you your options. The S word and demon. The S word is one of them. Okay. I completely agree with that. Succubus. And then… Why are you groaning about a succubus? What’s wrong with a succubus? I think the P word. The S word and the P word. The P word… Okay. No, the S word is one of them. It can’t just be the F word, I mean that’s too easy. It’s lower on the rank. A word. Oh, A word. No. What’s the next letter in the alphabet? The D word. Oh, it’s the B word. Yeah, yeah. Oh. The S word and the B word. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay, Louisiana. So if you go down there, you can… Put ’em together. Now this is, reminder, this is based on a survey of data collected from Twitter, so maybe there’s a tweet-related thing with the S word and the B word here, but, eh. That’s true, yeah, people on Twitter, yeah. Okay, where do you think North Carolina ranks for swearing? North Carolina is at the very, a lot of people think because it’s North Carolina that it might not be in the South, if you’re just very unfamiliar with the United States. But it is a southern state, and Virginia kinda is as well, but it’s got a lot of transplants that change the demographics, all those yuppies, all those people coming into Cary. I’ma say 25, then. That’s a very good guess. I am going to say that it, but it’s still in the South, so I’m going to say . 29. Okay, your choices are 10th, 31st, or 41st. 31st. I gotta go for 31st, ’cause it’s closest. 41st. Oh, wow, we’re… 41st was closest, dah! That Southern culture is keeping them yuppies, keeping them Yankee yuppies from cursing. Yeah. Yeah, I think the whole South is gonna be in that latter half. There was just, I mean there was maybe just a couple of people… You know, and I’ll affectionately call ’em farm people. You know? I got family members who are farm people, so that’s not a derisive term. I don’t even know if that’s a term. You know what I mean. But like, when you get around like, you’re working with dirt and farm equipment, you’re gonna- There’s always people who curse in every culture. Yeah, but like, I’m saying for me, growing up in North Carolina, there would be a few people who it’s like, when they show up, boy, they’re cursing like sailors. ‘Cause I never knew a sailor. ‘Cause you seemed to be surprised when I said that all of the South would be, by far and away, the least cursing section. Then it made sense, I agreed with you. ‘Cause where else would be? Yeah, there was just a couple of people… The Midwest is gonna be right after the South. Who I would… right. ‘Cause there’s a lot of crossover with just ways of thinking about things in the South and the Midwest. I mean, even when we came out here, and started interacting with people, some people, they’re just, they curse liberally. I think California is probably number one. I’ve just had some data clarity which blew my mind, I don’t know if, you know, when I said that there’s customer service data, meaning that like, when people in that state call customer service for something, those are the swear words they use the most in conversation. Yeah, ’cause they’re recording all these conversations, and then it’s transcribed, and they can just analyze it. I’ve never cursed on a customer service line, but it does make sense that people would curse on a customer service line. And that means in Louisiana, they’re calling the person a B word. Well no, okay, so- No, they’re referring to their electronics or something. My VCR’s being a . The ranking is customer service data, the actual words are Twitter polled. Oh. So keep that in mind, so, yeah. Okay, got it, I understand. You want me to keep both of those things in my mind? How am I supposed to do that? Which one should I keep in my mind? I gotta choose. Neither. Is that in any of the rounds, or can I…? Okay. The top five soft curse words across all the customer service data, stupid, shoot, goodness, suck, and crap. Suck and crap. Goodness is not a soft curse word. Goodness. It is one of the fruit of the spirit. Okay? I don’t know if I’ve ever, you know, thinking about customer service conversations, how do you feel like that’s productive, people? I just, you’re not gonna get anywhere. They’re frustrated. Yeah, sometimes you gotta drop some bombs. You gotta let ’em know you mean it. Okay, where does the state of Utah rank when it comes to swearing? And remember, this is customer service. This is, again… 51. We have a very high LDS population. I’m gonna go with 51 as well. As what? As well. It is the cleanest talking state in the country. Yeah. Okay. The answer is fifth. But, but, I’m told now- But goodness is one of the ones they count. That the ranking does include soft and hard curse words. Well that’s what, and again, I mean… They say all the honking goodness. If you know a good Mormon, they have found a way to not say the worst words, but say a lot of other words, and get very creative with it. It’s like soaking. Well, you know, okay, so, even like, all, Napoleon Dynamite, right? So, Jared Hess, who comes from a Mormon background, I don’t know if he was at the time he made the movie, but like, flipping, and all that stuff, that was very big in the Mormon community, is using those replacement curse words, so, ah, man, it gets it all the way up to number five! That’s some ! Also, the, you know, for those who are with us for Good Mythical Evening, that was the inspo for perhaps one of the opening bits, was, there was a TikTok where they asked kids in Utah what their favorite curse word was, and then it was just montaged. “Frick, frick, frick, frick!” So. We’ve gotta expand our consciousness here. Yes. Expand your consciousness with our brand new board game. It’s a Mythical party game, it’s not really a, there’s no board. It’s for parties. It’s the party game that laughs in the face of disaster. Rhett and Link’s “We’re Still Good” game. And you know what, not only is it fun, and you know, it’s gonna make you laugh, it’s gonna make you have a good time with your friends… This is all the instructions. It’s positive. It’s easy. You get finished playing this thing, and you’re like “Man, this ridiculous hilarious thing that’s maybe kinda bad, I put a good spin on it,” which is a value that we need to bring to the world these days, with things going a little bit sideways. I saw a therapist give us feedback, positive feedback, that they like, what’s it called when you re… Reorient your, there’s a term. Reframing, thank you. This is a reframing gaming experience. It helps you with reframing, which is really cool, and it’s only three panels of instructions, I don’t know how many times to tell you that there’s not that many instructions. This is a test whether a game is worth having. Yeah, you can sit down with a group of people who’ve never played and have a good time. Have a good time. Okay. Walmart stores, Walmart.com. Virginia. Where do you think it ranks? Okay, so you said that North Carolina was 41st. Mm-hm. That means that Virginia… It’s higher. You got that Metro DC area, those people dealing with politics, wearing suits all the time, they’re cursing like sailors, it’s gonna put it all the way up to 28. 28, it’s gonna put it all the way at 28! No, I’ma say 39. It says first. Virginia is first? Yeah. I mean, if they’re including the soft stuff, again, it’s like people say the soft stuff so they don’t have to say the hard stuff. Virginia is the cursingest state? When it comes to customer service, I guess. And, but it includes the soft stuff. It does, but like, if you’re thinking like where my parents live, out in the middle of nowhere, I don’t know, things can get pretty wild, you know? Okay, I’m having to adjust my thoughts on this, because I was gonna say that California’s gotta be number one, because more, and I’ve only lived in a couple of states. In California, people curse casually, in all kinds of different situations. Right. But we’re kind of a chilled out state that probably isn’t cursing while we’re on customer service. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? So we might be less likely to get really bent out of shape about something, ’cause hey, we’re all in California, after all. So, maybe you’re up there in that DC Metro traffic in Northern Virginia, and you’re just getting on customer service and just cussing up a storm. It’s just, I did not anticipate the customer service thing. That’s a curve ball, that’s a curve ball. But see, now you seem to be controlling me. He didn’t anticipate that. Yeah, Carney made the point, too, that Virginia is for lovers. Yeah. Which, you know, need to reevaluate that one, I think. Why is Virginia for lovers? I mean, I’ve been there. Maybe an asterisk? That says like, “Except for customer service.” But do you curse while making love? Sometimes, yeah. Yeah, ’cause I think- And coxica. You know Chase does. I’ve been sitting here, trying to hit mine. I could learn a thing or two from you. Okay, what are Virginia’s top two favorite curse words? This is the cursingest… But this is no longer on customer service. This is on Twitter. This is Twitter. Like curse words that are tweeted, or is this a Twitter poll? Yeah. Curse words that are tweeted. Okay. “This tweet is for everyone in Virginia. Could you please respond to this poll?” Virginians tweet… I need a list, I need a curse word bank. I don’t think it’s the F word. The Z word. Is not the F word. Let’s go with the D word. Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing, the D word with four letters. The D word is correct. Yep. I can see that. And if you’re gonna go with the D word, I’m gonna go with the P word. They come in pairs. Sometimes. I think it’s also the S word. Yep, the S word and the D word. S word and the D word. It’s a great word, the S word. Okay, on this map, the blue to orange scale shows the frequency with which a curse word is used in tweets relative to the total number of words used in tweets in that county. Which correlates strongly with the population density. The more orange an area, the more frequently they use that curse word in comparison to other parts of the country. What word does this map represent? This is so fascinating! I mean, look at that, so it’s obviously coastal. But it’s weird, because like, I know a fair amount about that part of North Carolina, the “coastal” part of North Carolina, and it’s just like the rest of the South, it’s really just like the triangle area, so I don’t know exactly how… But it gets very specific down to counties, here. And how, so it’s… In like South Texas? So what curse word do they wanna use when they’re closer to the coast? No, but it’s not just the coast, ’cause look, all that down there that borders Mexico, too, is the same thing. Yeah, I’m talking about the coast of the United States, sometimes it just leads to more land on other countries. Right. And also, our state of California is completely orange. It’s the only state that is totally covered. Relative to other places, the word is used that much more. It’s the F word. In Twitter? It’s the F word. It has to be. I agree. If this is not the F word, I can’t imagine what it would be. It’s the F word. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, how ’bout… People don’t use the F word in the middle of the country. How ’bout this map? You know what? So if you move to those blue areas and use the F word, you have a lot of power, okay? You have a lot of power in your talk. I think it’s damn. Right here in like, these pockets in the middle of the country? I know it’s not the S word, because Vermont is blue, and they’re using it all the time up there, ’cause it’s just like, they can’t not use it in a sentence. What’s a curse word that they never use in New England, but they use out there in the corn and prairie zone? Yeah, this is like flatlanders, you know what I’m saying? Like, prairie people. Do prairie people use the P word? No. Okay, we’re in soft territory. This is A-S-S. Gosh. The A word. Gosh darn it. Darn it. Gosh dang. Is it gosh, darn, or crap? Darn. Well I already guessed that, wouldn’t she have told me I was right? Well, you guessed gosh darn it, darn it. I’m still going with darn, I’m not gonna change my answer at this point. I said gosh, that’s not it, it has to be darn. It’s darn. Darn. “Darn, look at us up here in Minnesota, we’re talking about how darn cold it is!” But there’s also- “Let’s go skiing everywhere.” But there’s a little swath down there in… Mississippi? “There’s a middle part of Minnesota that doesn’t have any, no one says darn. Where’s that?” That’s the no darn territory. That part of Mississippi is the strongest part of the Bible Belt. It’s the buckle of the Bible Belt, buddy. Man. It must be. They don’t say darn at all in New England. They’re like, don’t get caught saying darn there. Freaking, frigging, I wonder where that is. Or Louisiana, Southern Louisiana down there, in alligator country. They don’t say darn down there, either. Man. This is fascinating. I love data. DataIsBeautiful is my favorite subreddit. ‘Cause we said Louisiana was… Well we said that was really low. Right? Yeah, which would make darn high. Yeah, but it’s blue. Yeah, darn is high, blue. I thought red was high. Orange is high. I mean… Means they don’t use darn. They don’t use darn in Louisiana. I think it’s the Cajun. Means something else in Cajun. It is confusing. Okay. I don’t know. And coxica. We’re Still Good is available at Walmart.com and select Walmart stores near you.
