Junkies Wish to Make Peace With Mr. I
By Chris Mottram | October 31, 2007
For the fourth different time (that I’m aware of) Mr. Irrelevant was a topic of discussion on D.C. sports radio show “The Junkies” today. As you may recall, we had a little spat with them a few weeks back. You know, the one in which I said I didn’t like the show and they retaliated by calling my brother and I “faggots” on air.
Well, today our good friend Agent Steinz was on their program, and the following was said (mp3 here):
Junkies: “We offended the world famous Mottram brothers somehow, they were very upset with us, and quite frankly, we got a kick out of it. Anytime the bloggers mention us, we think that’s hilarious. The one beef I have with the bloggers is they feel like they have the market cornered on sarcasm. And I don’t really think that’s true. A lot of times, I don’t think they really get our shtick.”
Steinz: “I think they get it. You guys did call them some hefty names though, I will say that.”
Junkies: “They said we’re the worst sports radio show they’d ever heard. I mean, how are we supposed to react to that? We didn’t take to that too kindly, but at the end of the day, we didn’t care.”‘
…
Junkies: “I’m sure they’re good guys. What they don’t get is we don’t really care. We’ll say something, go to break, and nobody cares. But I don’t know that they quite get that.”
Steinz: “I think you guys would all get along if you were in a bar somewhere, drinking beer and watching the Redskins.”
Junkies: “Well, I would like to get along with the bloggers. I’m willing to make peace. I’ll smoke a peace pipe with them.”
A few things here. First, we’re actually universally famous, not world famous. Second, they’re right, bloggers do corner the market on sarcasm. Case in point: Me calling their show the worst sports radio program ever. Third, they have it flipped. What they don’t get is that we don’t care. See, we touched on the “feud” between us and them one time. They, as previously mentioned, have talked about it at least four times.
But finally, or I guess fifth, I agree with Steinz. I bet we would get along with them over some Redskins viewing and a few beers. As long as they’re paying. Now pass that peace pipe to the left hand side.

I would get along with Junkies, so long as they admitted that Sweet Caroline is Neil Diamond’s best work. I’d touch you.

Peace pipe?
All you jokers need some sensitivity training.

Is using the term “peace pipe” offensive to American Indians? If so, then I guess I do need some of this training you speak of.

peace pipe is offensive to american indians, as well as the name “Redskins” for the football team!

Well, yeah, no shit man. Everyone knows Redskins is offensive. But what is offensive about using the expression “smoke the peace pipe”?

I’m having reservations about where this convo is going.

I can’t be mad at the Junks, they’re the reason I’m driving around my new Jeep!

/sarcasm.
Had a meeting to get ready for this morning.
Light it up, Mottram.

I would not use the phrase “smoke the peace pipe” since it would seem to be rife with double entendre possibilities.

I lived in DC for 6 years without ever hearing the junkies one time. Maybe, I can go another 6. Now the John Thompson show makes my ears bleed, especially when he is talking about a non basketball sport.
It is time to reload that peace pipe as I think it is cashed.
