Dori is no prude. And John Curley is no Casanova. But the two KIRO Radio talk show hosts were on opposite sides of a bed, er, on-air argument Thursday afternoon.

When Dori learned – a day later – that Curley was stuck in Seattle, with no place to sleep after heavy snow closed John’s eastbound Interstate 90 route home following his Wednesday show, Dori was aghast to learn where Curley stayed the night.

It was with a co-worker.

“A man and a woman can sleep in the same bed without going ‘Cuckoo Town,’” Curley argued.

No, Dori countered: “It’s about appearances – and all kinds of decorum.”

Is John Curley a cheapskate, as Dori suggested? Or does Dori have the mentality of a 13-year-old boy, as his 3-7 p.m. colleague insinuated?

Listen here to see how Dori’s producer Nicole tried to umpire their debate.
