I am now well aware that we violated NPR policy protocol by bringing a chicken into the building.

The voice you're hearing is Jason Bobian, he's an NPR correspondent.

And on Monday at NPR headquarters where Jason was working, and we should say NPR is located in a pretty

urban area in downtown Washington, D.C.

Jason noticed that a bunch of reporters and producers

were standing and huddling around the windows looking outside

because there was a chicken out there.

A very fancy chicken. because there was a chicken out there.

A very fancy chicken.

And we were quite worried that she, I mean, yeah,

we were quite concerned that she was going to get run over by a cement truck

or by somebody or a bus or something like that.

That was part of the overall reason for wanting to bring it in.

So Jason goes outside, the chicken is running around everywhere, there are people chasing

it, he finally gets his hands on it. He puts it

in one of those US mail containers and puts a sweater on top of it. So he has the chicken, but he has

work to do. He can't just take a couple hours and take the chicken

to a farm. So he takes the chicken inside in PR's world headquarters.

And that chicken went on to become Steve Insky.

That part's not true. Did you, Jason, did you sneak her past security in the mail container?

Okay, I will confess to not saying what it was we had inside the mail crate.

We did not divulge that information to the security guard.
