The response Jake and Ryan asked for concerning "why not use vulgarity?"

[grfox92]

Well, it would appear that a lot of folks on this thread will be taking your advice. Won’t be tuning in.

That's good, maybe they can start worrying about one of the millions of other problems we have in society today instead being so upset by bad words.

Maybe Ryan and Jake decide to bleep out swear words, but I suspect even that wouldn't be enough. Maybe they decide to consciously not swear on the podcast and then everyone can listen.

I would not stop listening if they cleaned it up. The cursing has zero impact on how I enjoy the show. They sound just like 90% of the guys in the trades who I work with. Good people who use curse words amongst men, not in front of women and children or in professional settings. Some would argue that being at work in the trades is a professional setting, but there is nuance. When I was in management rolls professionally, we would never use profanity in front of subordinates, but if we were in a meeting or setting where it was all management, even EVP and senior management would curse.

But also my comments about watering themselves down wasn't necessarily targeted at you, just more of a broader point regarding the replies by many in this thread.

Honest question though. Do you really think they are intentionally cursing in the podcast as some sort of publicity stunt? Or is it infinitely more likely that is how they talk amongst friends?

I’m merely questioning the point of asking for a case against profanity if there isn’t any underlying degree of willingness to change anything. What would it be? To create a buzz? To deflect from having to put forward a thoughtful response of their own?

It’s easy enough to say sorry we’re not changing; our podcast our rules; whatever…to stand behind their own work as it is.

So, is it all a veiled call for public support affirming their speech is acceptable? Or are they genuinely asking? It’s only worth discussing further if it’s the later.

I will say any machismo assigned to vulgar language is completely misplaced. And in this thread there has been a fair bit of calling into question the manhood of folks who prefer not to embrace profanity in their own language and content consumption. It’d be easy to chalk it up to immaturity, but really it’s just naive.

When you get around folks who have proven their grit, toughness, and worth, swearing isn’t a determining condition. Some no doubt swear in spades, some don’t as a matter of principal, and some don’t seem to say very much at all…and it’s often they who leave the greatest impression.

In all seriousness i played,everyone else played.
Why this still going on.
Seems people are more into the drama and bullshit on this site more than ever.
And why do any of us actually give a shit what Ryan or Jake say or do or think.
