I know the FAA monitors these reports. Hopefully; this is the correct forum to report this issue.People making cute sounds; joking; taunting; and spouting political views on Guard frequency [121.5] are compromising safety. The constant chatter is extremely distracting during normal flight duties and causes some to not monitor the frequency any more.On date; I flew three legs between Florida and northern State. Guard frequency was jammed with non-sense comments and retorts. It was so bad; my FO [First Officer] stopped monitoring the frequency. During that time; our primary ATC frequency was busy; so the controller forgot to send us to the next sector. Luckily; I was still listening because ATC gave us the correct frequency on Guard.The constant chatter on Guard seems much more pronounced east of the Mississippi; but It is still heard across the continent.
