John Hodgman presents to Janet Varney the state that’s obsessed with having an excessive amount of mottos: South Carolina!

It features two mottoes, two official state drinks, two official state marine mammals and more. And that’s before we discuss how busy the state seal is.

Yet for all that, the state has a very tastefully reserved flag and a really charming fondness of the creatures like the wolf spider.

So settle into your little burrow and grab a pile of boiled peanuts.
