Thanking every listener

It's considerate for DJs to acknowledge that they're speaking to an audience.  It's possible to get carried away, however, with the specifics of where listeners might be hearing you.  A DJ I heard today thanked listeners for tuning in "wherever (they're) listening...the kitchen, the patio, the bathroom..."

If you're going to go that route, why not say, "Whether you're making a grilled cheese sandwich, downing the last of your Big Gulp soda, or just sitting in a room by yourself, filled with existential despair, I hope you're enjoying the music?"
