    i am a single 45-year-old mom so i am NOT the target. but i look forward to dave and jon every week. they are so ridiculously funny (i listen to the ads just to see how they’ll vibe off of each other), great hosts buy most importantly, such incredible husbands and dads. i hope to lead my son to be a Jesus-loving man like these two.

  • I love it!!!

    Now I know I’m not a dad, in fact I am a teenage girl, but I have found so much escape in this podcast. Whenever I’ve felt stressed or cynical I just put this podcast on and listen to talk being absolutely hilarious and I just instantly feel lighter. Also the episodes that are more parenting focused have been super helpful in understanding my parents and seeing things as they do. Thanks so much for your dedication to making peoples lives better and I’m rooting for y’all!
