Title: Does it freak you out when Tom swears?
Post by: Kal_El on April 01, 2015, 08:59:31 AM

Just listened to Sklarbro County where Tom uses the F word and it's so jarring. Does anybody else think it's weird?

I don't think it's weird. Most people do use profanity on occasion. It is jarring because the Best Show has always been a family-friendly program.

Its always like a weird charge hearing him curse. Like, I've always been aware of him probably doing it but its still somewhat odd hearing him do it on air.

I just listened to Sklarboro County and I want to change my vote, he said the F word in the context of pointing out stupid joke dumb philly fans would make, it's not like he was just casually dropping curses around

I'm downloading the episode now, but I will say that his reactions to people doing it on The Best Show have been perfect so far.

I admit it shocked me a bit when he swore in the "twitter war" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1HXv5Dw9Xk).

I haven't listened yet, but I was kind of shocked to hear Howard Stern finally say "fuck" even though he'd clearly wanted to for years so I'd be a little stunned to hear it from Tom. However if it was in the context of a Wurster call I'd be really stunned.
