Joel and Steve have been talking about getting Joel's older brother Colin on the pod since its inception, so for about 5 years. 

Today it actually happened!  All it took was a bike ride and the promise of some pizza, they should have thought about that a lot sooner!  

At any rate - it was worth the wait to get him on!
