The number of f-bombs dropped in a podcast correlates with how often the presenters or interviewers hang out with kids. More time with kids as part of their lives equals fewer swear words per episode. When you spend time with children, you realize that they watch you, listen to you, and replicate your actions and behavior.

In some cultures, f-bombs are like punctuation. There’s an appropriate time and place to tell someone to go fuck themselves, but in everyday life, a potty mouth is a sign of hubris, bluster, or a limited lexicon.
