I caught some of last night's Coast with George Knapp hosting. The guest would have given Noory a stroke. He was a retired police detective from San Francisco who worked over 300 homicide cases, some of them famous. Knapp's a good host, he let this guy tell his stories without much interruption. The detective described how he got to Richard Ramirez the Night Stalker serial killer through another criminal, in his vivid description of the events he must have used 'EFF YOU!' and 'YOU MOTHER-EFFER!!!' like 10 times. Noory would have gone into conniptions.
GUEST: 'EFF YOU MOTHER-EFFER I'LL BLOW YER EFFIN HEAD OFF!'
NOORY: You can't say that. This is a family show.
GUEST: ...... I didn't use the actual words, I cleaned them up.
NOORY: Those words you used like 'MOTHER ....... I don't want to repeat them ... are bad words too. If you continue to use them I'll have to cut short the interview.
GUEST: um ...... how could I possibly tell the story without
NOORY: Well you could say 'DRATS TO YOU!' and things like 'YOU DIRTY RAT' like they used to in old movies
GUEST: yeah, I'm out.
