Podcasters are just like you, me, and the neighbor down the street - normal people. They get up in the morning and put their pants on one leg at a time. The only difference is that they use technology as a medium to share their opinions and lives with others around the globe.

It seems that our time doesn't have a huge monetary value.
Forgive my ignorance, but I truly can't tell if this was serious or tongue-in-cheek.
With this being said, the personal lives of the podcast team are sacred. For many reasons (safety being one of them), I wouldn't expect Corey and Julie to schedule a day with a listener and bring along their children. Similarly, I would never expect Pete to share his personal address with those he does not know. Just like celebrities in Hollywood, they are real people and have private lives away from the fame here on the DIS. I think we should respect that and not push our wants upon them. If this is something they volunteer, that is a different story, but I think it should be their decision and not something influenced by the listeners.
Just my two cents.

I took it as a joke and thought it was funny! I think most people realized what you meant. Doesn't everybody give each other a hard time on here? I forget to take people seriously sometimes!
Whew!!Simple fix...we just need to clone you all!!!
Ah, that's an excellent point.
Ha! Glad to know I'm not the only one. They say something on the shows or invite emails on a topic and I'll think "I'll totally write in about that!" And then I remember it happened 4/5/6 years ago. How confusing would that be to the Podcast crew if I did!

I just miss the unenthusiastic "yaaaaaaayy......" after someone won something.
Cracked me up every time.
