    Should Single Moms have Booty Calls?

    Hello, Hot Single Parents! This week, we're doing a spicy Q&A! As we've done in a past episode, our hosts take advantage of the fact they they have someone sitting across from them who may help shed some light on why men and women do certain things. However, this time, their questions for each other are hotter and wilder than ever before! Anthony and Jessica take turns asking each other wild things, such as: Can men fall in love by making love? Should it be okay for Single Parents to get their needs met and expect nothing else out of a relationship? Do men talk about women that they like with their friends? Is there ever a time when a Single Mom should stay single? We'll be talking all of these questions and more as we attempt (again) to shed some light on some of the universe's biggest mysteries! Remember, Single Moms and Single Dads, we're here to offer encouragement and community as you look to help your kids navigate the world of a Solo Parent upbringing. _______________________________________________ New episodes drop every Wednesday!

    I'm Thankful for Calling out Scumbags!

    Hello, Hot Single Parents! In this episode, we're giving thanks! As it's Thanksgiving week, Anthony and Jessica have decided to spend some time reflecting on things they are grateful for! However, the things they share are far from cliche... Our hosts use their gratitude to share stories involving getting arrested, throwing themselves off hills in hopes of breaking an arm, and helping sushi businesses! They also take some time to address some recent comments about single mothers made by a pastor, Steven L. Anderson, from a church in Phoenix, Arizona. Mr. Pastor had some very interesting words for Solo Moms, and our host has some strong things to say in response. You're not going to want to miss this one; things get real!

    Ugh, Why Do Men Do This??

    Hello, Hot Single Parents! This week, we're doing a little Q&A! In this episode, our hosts take advantage of the fact they they have someone sitting across from them who may help shed some light on why men and women do certain things. Anthony and Jessica take turns asking each other about why the opposite gender responds to different situations the way they do! Why do women give men fake phone numbers? When men post selfies, are they always trying to get women's attention? Why do women always seem to prefer the "bad boy?" Do men truly always want what they can't have? We'll be talking all of these questions and more as we attempt to shed some light on some of the universe's biggest mysteries! Remember, Single Moms and Single Dads, we're here to offer encouragement and community as you look to help your kids navigate the world of a Solo Parent upbringing. ______________________________________________ New episodes drop every Wednesday!
