Should the ‘Scott and BR Show’ use ‘foul’ language?

Yes, talk naturally because there are no FCC rules restricting language in digital broadcasting!

No, most listeners expect the same language standard for terrestrial radio and kids could be listening.

Look people keep talking about their kid’s hearing bad language. How about this, when you hear bad language on the show use it as a teaching moment with your kids about proper language. If you think kids don’t see or hear worse things then us saying fuck on the show then you are stupid! The conversation is natural and free flowing. People curse in the real world when they get pissed or in everyday conversation that’s what the show is supposed to be great friends having a fun conversation. Talk to your kids!Stop trying to shield them!

Thanks for asking Scott!  An occasional “foul” word that fits in the situation is understandable. However, when you guys get into one of those ‘let’s see who can cuss the most’ contests it seems contrived, out of place and uncomfortable.  Also, I haven’t had to worry about this in awhile, but we are grandparents now and we had our granddaughter in the car yesterday during your show. #layoffthefoullanguage.BRING THE CHARGERS HOME!

If Spanos is saying fuck, Scott and friends can say Fuck!!!

Nathaniel Allison

I love the "realness" of the show now.  :)

Mary Beth Polk

Yesterday you guys were going off, maybe it was the topic or who knows what, but I do agree that I sometimes listen when kids are around and lower it. I believe it's your decision to be real and unfiltered since you don't have restrictions anymore, but at the same time, dont believe all of your listeners are young single guys who love the swearing as a WAR CRY!... Either way Im still listening, Ps Side note can you guys ever be part of Alexa again?  Like Alexa play scott and BR?

Guys night Lab (Jesus)

I don't mind an occasional bad word. However, when I attempted to listen the foul language was over the top and I quickly turned my attention elsewhere. Overall the show can be more effective if you do your best to not use language that you don't want spoken in front of your kids.

Looooong time listener, didn’t think the show could get any better while on the radio and regulated... BUT it did. The ability to be natural, “real” and “raw” has only enhanced the show and my family’s (including 3 kids) bond with the entire mishpahhah.  Don’t have any problem with the language (kids hear much worse!) it’s used everywhere (including myself) and ultimately people have a choice to listen/watch.  Having the ability to clarify, address and/or “regulate” with my kids while listening is my job as a dad.  Keep being you please!! Love what you are all doing ✊

Joe Rigby

Yes absolutely!! Without the restraints of terrestrial radio and the FCC over your shoulder, Scott and the gang can relax and be themselves without worry. Profanity has its place, usually for emphasis, and I believe the show has grown leaps and bounds since it's been off 1090!!!

Yes. That's the beauty of a podcast. You get to say whats on your mind without bosses breathing down your neck. Im willing to bet more people are with that than against it.

Ryan Duncan

Be natural without FCC regs, just don’t over do it just because the regs aren’t there. Fine in the context of the conversations, but if you’re throwing out F bombs just because you know you can and for shock value it starts to be a turn off. Also, might help just because there’s a possibility you’re on radio again in the future and you don’t want your show format to rely on it

Kenneth Moore

I listen at work and I don't feel comfortable having my customers listen to the foul language. Even if it's only 25% who don't want the foul language do you really want to lose those listeners. You are not going to lose anyone if you don't use foul language.

Greg Milligan

I often can't listen to your  show because I have my young kids in the car. It's frustrating because I really enjoy your program. I even called Corky's for a quote. I have no problem supporting your sponsors. Please stop with the cussing I miss being able to hear your show.

John

YES IN ALL CAPS. Its refreshing to hear people be real. Most grown ass men curse. You guys dont curse for shock value it's just natural. Corolla, Rogan, Burr, Stern, and just about everyone cusses as it's real life. You are NOT on radio it's a podcast. If your sponsors have a problem with the cursing that would be the only reason to possibly tone it down. Everyone else that has a problem with bad words shut the fuck up

Toby McDonald

As long as the topics is not supporting the KKK, needless racist comments, etc., sure!

Lorenzo Z. Villalobos Jr.

36 years old listener here, I don't mind the occasional radio approved curse word, but that last few broadcasts I stopped listening because it's been so foul and vulgar. What makes the show great is the ability to attract a variety of ages. I agree with Linda and Billy Ray. Please keep the language clean, stay classy San Diego

Clayton Ashcraft

While I think it is ok, it should probably not be a regular staple of the show.

Your free self is the best you will ever be. Speak freely always. Don’t let anyone tell you what needs to be right in their eyes. The show doesn’t need to be sheltered. I am good long as I can hear the personal truth, opinion, spirit that stands everlasting.

Aaron Martin

I don't have kids so for me  so that factor is a non issue.  And I like the realness and sometimes stuff just deserves a what the fuck. I'd say there was maybe one show so far that it may have gone a little far, but ultimately wasn't enough for me to stop listening. I'd say some cussing here and there is fine especially when its reactionary. I don't think Scott, Alex, or John really cuss with regularity anyways.Anyways if you have kids and your don't want them hearing foul language or other stuff then don't listen with them around. It's your responsibility to do that not others. Anyways, the chances are your kids have probably heard or seen something worse online. Especially considering there are so many parent's that don't monitor what there kids do online.

Derrick McQuinn

I actually fall between the 2 sides. Sometimes it is a bit much but I also like you guys being yourselves. When it gets out of hand it loses its effect and or humor. And when my teens are listening and it's getting to be to much I just say out loud....hey guys take it easy

Juliana Guidi

Most of us curse everyday. Yes, just curse.

Ken Foster

Language use is a cultural thing, it all depends on what type of culture and vibe you are trying to create and maintain. Some of the best comedy is riddled with cussing and topics some people would normally not talk about or find offensive. While this is a good question for your audience, I would imagine this is also a question for your sponsors. Either way, personally, as long as you enjoy doing it and it continues to make your audience laugh, keep doing it!

Christopher Moreno

He'll yeah. if drew daughty can suck my d**k to Calgary fans. If u can tell the ref fuck u and if joe Rogan and howard can than scott can

Alex Miller

Coming for you JB!!! Even if we are saying the same thing  ?

I love when it's directed at me.  :)  LOL

Your weekly videos on twitter are awesome, we r gonna play this weeks Thursday!

Excessive is when its every other sentence.  It was not necessary when the point was already made.  It was cursing just to curse because you can on YouTube.   I am not asking Browner or anyone else teach my child.  I dont use that language and my child follows my example.

What would be your description of excessive? Like when Burt Grorssmans on type of thing?

I don't think they rely on it, or do it just to do it either, but I'm just saying that's when it would turn me off

I would agree with not relying on it. Which I don't think the really do.
