A little something you didn't know about Corey: His first concert as a child was mandated by his parents: Earth, Wind & Fire. It's an experience he still recounts with glee to this day.

A little something you didn't know about Alaina: Despite her size, she regularly inhales enough food to put men twice her size to shame. Also, she's been known to take out people foolish enough to get between her and her meal when she's hungry. You've been warned.

DAVE RUDDEN: Web Editor
A little something you didn't know about Dave R: He's taken part in two of the most taxing activities one can subject their body to, running a half-marathon in 2008 and foolishly trying stand-up comedy for a few months in 2005. Fortunately, footage from neither event can be found on YouTube.
