- 0:30Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Yo yo yo, it's me that question guy,
- 0:35Speaker 1: always asking questions because it's really fun to research for answers.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Here's one of those questions, when did it become okay
- 0:43Speaker 1: for a public figure, including the president, to drop the
- 0:47Speaker 1: F bomb? Plus? What's this battle all about? Radio people
- 0:51Speaker 1: or TV people who like or dislike their voice? My
- 0:55Speaker 1: name is Erro. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
- 0:58Speaker 1: That means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing
- 1:00Speaker 1: but watch, listen, study, then activate. I happen to call
- 1:03Speaker 1: it the Daily Mess because it's a chronological walk through
- 1:05Speaker 1: an everyday world. It is my morning writing as a
- 1:08Speaker 1: receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend to
- 1:11Speaker 1: throw things to the side because, oh, we're convinced we're
- 1:13Speaker 1: gonna deal with it later on. But you know us,
- 1:15Speaker 1: we're all gonna forget. When a subject arrives inside of me,
- 1:19Speaker 1: I know it's time to dig in. It's still keeping
- 1:22Speaker 1: that daily journal, but by doing that research, the picture
- 1:26Speaker 1: will become clearer. This is the daily mess. When did
- 1:30Speaker 1: it become okay for public figures, including the president to
- 1:35Speaker 1: drop the F bomb? Such language was once considered off
- 1:40Speaker 1: limits in formal settings, So why is it becoming okay
- 1:44Speaker 1: at social events today? First, it hasn't just happened. It
- 1:48Speaker 1: didn't happen overnight. Shockingly, it's tied to a few cultural changes.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Although in public, presidents Eisenhower and Reagan came across as
- 1:57Speaker 1: clean and well polished, but insiders say it was a
- 2:00Speaker 1: much different language platform behind those closed doors. Then came
- 2:05Speaker 1: the media shift, which now includes the Internet. Suddenly, vulgar
- 2:09Speaker 1: curse words were blurred to the point of acceptance. That
- 2:13Speaker 1: doesn't mean everyone agrees, especially when it comes to the
- 2:16Speaker 1: public display of a US presidency. Americans love the F
- 2:21Speaker 1: bomb because it's blunt language, which comes across as being honest.
- 2:27Speaker 1: The theory of telling it exactly the way that it is.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Did he really drop an F bomb? Coming up next?
- 2:34Speaker 1: Do radio and TV personalities like or dislike their voices? Hey,
- 2:42Speaker 1: welcome back to the daily Mess. Do radio and TV
- 2:45Speaker 1: personalities like or dislike their voices? I mean, you watch
- 2:48Speaker 1: them during the nightly news or just on TV shows,
- 2:51Speaker 1: reality shows or their podcast? Do they like their voice?
- 2:54Speaker 1: It's truly a complicated relationship. Broadcasters pretty much call it
- 2:59Speaker 1: a love hate experience. In the beginning, it's tough for
- 3:03Speaker 1: radio and TV people to adjust to hearing that voice
- 3:06Speaker 1: through their headphones or IFB, But over time the voice
- 3:10Speaker 1: becomes a tool and less of an identity. Professionals see
- 3:15Speaker 1: their voices as instruments that can be shaped as well
- 3:19Speaker 1: as controlled. The focus is put on clarity, pacing, tone,
- 3:25Speaker 1: and emotion. There's nothing wrong with growing to love your voice.
- 3:29Speaker 1: It's okay if you just can't get enough of it.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Building a listening or viewing audience will do that for you.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Our voices are tied to an identity, which can feel
- 3:40Speaker 1: pretty personal when the critics step up, you know, the
- 3:43Speaker 1: program directors and the consultants. Hey, we want you to
- 3:47Speaker 1: say it this way. Remember the Howard Stern movie is
- 3:51Speaker 1: w e BC. Yeah, I was once with a radio station.
- 3:56Speaker 1: It wasn't light one o two point nine, it was
- 3:58Speaker 1: light one o two point nine. Broadcasters learn to force
- 4:03Speaker 1: a shift, allowing the voice to serve their community. Yeah,
- 4:07Speaker 1: radio and TV people are constantly studying how they sound.
- 4:12Speaker 1: It is a true skill set and not that of
- 4:15Speaker 1: self judgment. We really do listen and make things sound
- 4:20Speaker 1: a lot easier to digest on your side. In fact,
- 4:22Speaker 1: speaking of your side, how do you like your voice?
- 4:27Speaker 1: I'm Meryl and that's the daily mess.
