Script
C: Welcome back to the “History of Swear Words!”
J: In today’s episode, we have a very special guest known for his motivational speeches, Gary Vee!
Gary: Hello everyone, glad to be on the “History of Swear Words.”
J: Glad to have you here! So, Gary, our Podcast is about the different perspectives of cursing and you’re infamous for swearing a lot when you speak.
J: We wanted to learn your perspective on why swear a lot.
Gary: The reason I swear so much is because that’s how I’ve always talked and grown comfortable speaking, it’s my way of being myself. I want to show my true self to my audience. I would rather have me be true to myself than be someone I’m not for someone to like me.
C: A lot of us have grown up swearing as well, but at what point does it become rude or offensive?
Gary: Great question! I realize that some people don’t like it when I swear, but it’s all about intention. I don’t mean to offend anyone, but there’s always someone who’s going to be offended by my use of language. I would say to them “I respect that you don’t like swear words and ask them if we can agree to get past my use of language and focus on the message in my speech.” This focuses on the message I’m trying to get at.
B: Do you think people focus too much on your swearing and not enough on your message?
G: I completely agree with that statement when the only thing the person is acknowledging is my use of language. The swear words I use are a way of expressing my message to my audience and as I said before if you could get past that and focus on my message that would be beneficial for both of us. I get if you can’t and I have no problem with that. To avoid this issue, it’s as easy as swiping up or clicking another video.
J: Back to the point about being yourself, what impact do you think your swearing has on your audience?
Gary: I think audiences appreciate authenticity and when I’m swearing, my audience knows that I’m being my true self. This makes them relate to me more.
B: Well that is all the time we have for today.
B: Thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate you taking the time out of your day.
Gary: No problem! A great discussion we had. Thanks for having me!
