He's adjusting to only 10 free drinks per night at Bonefish.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't having some issues on the home front. He always used to brag about how he'd keep the checkbook and hand his wife an "allowance". He'd also dish on her for not getting a "real" job at times.

As a die-hard fan of the show, I can assure you that one of the ever-living topics of conversation on the show has always been discussing how long it'd been since good ol' Lurchie boy got some buns. It wasn't uncommon for him to talk about 10+ month stretches without physical contact or embrace with his wife...big shocker I guess?

His wife either found out about, or had enough of, his creeping around with other women.

Last I heard (about ten days ago) was that Lurch was seriously considering joining Mike O' Meara's podcast. Mike and Buzz approached him with a pretty good opportunity, and it's been eating away at Lurch for quite some time now.

I feel bad for him whatever he is going through...but at the same time you can't say he didn't have it coming the way he talks about his family and would rather be drinking at bonefish or sitting with some chinese dude at Charles Town than with his kids. I know he is on radio and that he is supposed to be funny/outlandish...but sometimes he crosses the line when it comes to making fun of some bad situation...sorry Lurch papa what comes around goes around...just like you loved Osama ElAtari...your time has come to pay for your sins.

So what you are saying is Mike, who complains about his janitor wages while worrying about losing his house, is offering Lurch something that competes with $265k a year?

No, just a new opportunity to do something a little different and work with people he respects. Not everyone is just in it for the money. It sounds like something fun and challenging.

The Junkies should be breaking up soon. I cant stand listening to them anymore. Too much EB whining, Cakes trying to sound smarter than the rest, and Lurch thinking he's so cool with his poker playing and Bonefish gigs. It's become pretty hurting and felted.

For a guy who likes to spend every evening drinking in a bar, eating at The Palm and throwing down $10K at Charlestown, that seems highly unlikely.

Yes. Between eating his kids' cereal for breakfast, not taking a shower for days, not getting a hair cut, not looking for a job, not prepping for the failcast and not spending his time as a responsible breadwinner for his family, I can see how he wouldn't have free time to visit a forum that has been read religiously by The Junkies, Mike and Don over the years.

i find it highly unlikely that lurch would leave his opportunities with wjfk, and the show possibly moving to sirius, to go and join mikes low-rent podcast

Would it surprise anyone? It sounds like the guy spends every night hanging out at Bonefish. I would have to guess that he's been estranged from his wife for quite some time and disinterested in being a good husband or father for even longer. He probably rolls in drunk every night and crashes in the guest room or basement. He and his wife probably haven't had a civil conversation in years.

That would all be speculation, I might add.

Sources for Lurchie's angst have been well documented here - but it's hard to see the Junkies on XM - how many subscriptions are they going to bring with them? That's the question the XM suits are asking if they are even considering an offer to the Junkies.

As contract negotiations with CBS proceed, all the Junks are probably feeling stress as the money of the table for each of them isn't going to approach $250K.

I would assume whatever modicum of interest Sirius expressed in The Junkies or Elliot disappeared instantly the second Stern re-upped.

Even The Junkies must know that you don't try to bluff with a pair of twos in your hand.

Nope. I would say the top price for a "Morning Team" in the DC market right now is probably $500K (with most being in the $200K to $300K range). Even $500K for 15th place would be a premium. I think that's why Red Zebra locked up Czaban so quickly, because if JFK could jettison these guys and bring in someone for $250K, they would.

Another thought. If I were a Junkie wife, and thinking of moving on in life, I'd rather do it when my husband was making $250K a year rather than $100K. In other words, hit the road before a new, possibly significantly lower CBS contract is in place.

Just sayin'...

I think when Stern decided to leave, CBS came up with a figure of $1.2 million per major market for local talent. I'm pretty sure Carolla was getting that by himself in LA. They just split it four ways with The Junkies.

But, yeah, they way overpaid those guys. Especially for a group that was unproven in drive time. They helped kill what was left of WHFS with their horrible morning drive program. Then they were Midday filler at WJFK and then Hughes got this brilliant idea of signing THEM to the morning drive spot (Not D&M. Not Ron & Fez...the awful Junkies).

As a Sirius subscriber, I can't see how the Junkies would even fit. Sirius has a ton of sports talk show talent spread over about 4 channels. Mike "Mad Dog" Russo - sports talk show king of New York City, is barely a blip on Sirius. 4 butt-trifling donks from Bowie aren't going to bring jack shit to the table. There's no upside for Sirius.

I've known guys like that. He spends all of his time bemoaning how he's saddled with a wife and kids. Then, when he's lost his gig, squandered all of his money and can't get anyone at Bonefish to buy him drinks anymore, he'll bemoan how his kids won't talk to him.

He's beyond dumb with his money and his family is always backseat to his frat boy lifestyle. You're right, it's going to click one day and he'll be a broken man.

How is he going to be a to afford that Audi with giant alimony payments? Also I'm almost 100% positive Carolla was making $1.8m a year is L.A.

He'll be broke, for sure. I do think the Audi is hooked. At least partially, right?

Yeah. They threw in the floormats.

I love this whole "hooked" thing these idiots like to throw around. "Hooked" = bullshit.

I know they get free phones and service from AT&T, but they are considered employees. For the cars I'm pretty sure the dealers just lease them a car and knock off a some money from the lease price, I don't think they get free cars...

When one person in a tight group goes through a divorce it can get others thinking how they could do the same. I feel bad for any wife married to these donkeys! Money may mean a lot but life is short.

Those four fuck knuckles are lucky to have jobs!! the show sucks ,and how they make $250k a year is beyond me

So which one of the old Junkettes was Lurchie bonefishing?

Hopefully it's the same skank JP is boning - that would be money!!

But really, given the amount of time Lurchie spends at his second home, I'm sure there are a long list of west Fairfax Cougar real estate agents and bored MILFie housewives the King of Ashburn can choose from.

Sloppy seconds, anyone?

All the junkies are gross! The poor women who fall for them are LOSERS! Double yuck. Loundon county MILF are nasty.

Junkies need some bad karma to happen to them

This whole Junkies thing is some mutant offshoot of school spirit, locker room sex and sniffing the turf.

Ya'all just jelly
