John Curley’s office behavior came into question last week when he was accused in an alleged case of lunch theft at the office. Now he’s being chastised for another offense.

On Monday, The Dori Monson Show spotted some unfamiliar debris in the studio following The Tom & Curley Show.

“What are all these things?” he asked Curley about the pellets found on the studio floor.

“That’s the food that she eats,” said Curley, who also happened to be holding a small black chicken.

While he said he has nothing against chickens, Dori did question the appropriateness of animals in the workplace and asked Curley to get the bird off of his desk.

“I have a dog. You know how many times Star has been to the radio station with me in her 15 years of life? Never,” Dori said. “Seriously, in 15 years, I’ve never brought my dog in the studio. Why? Because dogs smell like dogs and I have respect for my coworkers.”

Dori said Curley is typically a very good show host to follow. He even leaves wipes every day to clean off his workstation.

“You’re very nice,” Dori said, “Why did you bring a chicken in the studio?”

Curley explained it was a very dramatic day for his chicken because she learned her best friend is a rooster, which means they will have to be separated, likely forever.

Dori wasn’t that sympathetic and pointed to what appeared to be urine on the studio floor.

“I have to say that chickens don’t urinate,” Curley said. “The top part is the white and that is the urine. The black or brown part underneath is the fecal matter. So if you’re going to critique it, at least get that right.”

Dori points out that they can’t even have open beverages in the studio, so it’s probably not the right place for a chicken.

“I think it’s disrespectful to coworkers,” Dori said. “Don’t you think respecting your coworkers is an essential part of being a human being?”

Curley agreed, but said by the reaction in the newsroom, it seemed to him he was bringing more joy than criticism.

“You wouldn’t believe how happy people are when you bring a chicken to work,” Curley said. “Look at all the people lining up who want to get pictures and hold the chicken.”

Dori suggested bringing a bucket of the colonel’s finest next time, but he eventually gave in and held Curley’s pet.

It didn’t exactly end well.
