    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.
