"I want to have a discussion with you guys about that right now because I'm so fucking excited trying to be respectful and not be too excited on this episode, but I'm so fucking excited. So I'm going to explain to you guys moving forward a segment that I want you to bring into the show." — Alex Cooper
"I don't give a fuck what people look like, what your gender is, what your sexual orientation is. If you listen to the call her daddy show and you see someone else, you find out they do too, you have a commonality, you have something that you agree on and you both enjoy." — Alex Cooper
"Why would we go do that? If we can just keep it. If we can get, Call Her Daddy. If we can have one more conversation and Dave Portnoy offers us something, why would we go and start a new show? And Sophia just didn't get that." — Alex Cooper
The podcast episode begins with the host, Alex Cooper, addressing the recent and sudden end of her co-hosting partnership. She expresses profound gratitude for the listener support during this challenging period, acknowledging the difficulty of producing content alone after years of a dual-host format. Cooper outlines the episode's structure, which will cover the recent events, an exciting new addition to the show, and a Q&A segment dedicated to the situation. She candidly shares her emotional state, noting that the abrupt nature of the breakup has impacted her significantly, differentiating this episode from the show's usual dynamic.
Cooper then delves into the podcast's genesis and the pressure of a large audience dissecting every word, highlighting the fear and excitement associated with her platform. She reflects on a shift towards greater authenticity, contrasting the show's past willingness to discuss anything with a current apprehension to speak openly due to the audience's size and the need to maintain brand consistency. This leads to a discussion about losing oneself in the industry and her desire to merge her personal life and business more seamlessly into the show, viewing the partnership's end as a potential reset. She also touches upon external attempts to influence the podcast's direction and ownership, expressing strong disapproval of individuals who lack understanding of the brand and its community.
The latter half of the episode focuses on the future of "Call Her Daddy." Cooper introduces a new segment where a "Daddy Gang" member will be featured in almost every episode over the next year, inviting listeners to share their stories. This initiative aims to foster a more inclusive and community-centric show, allowing listeners to connect with each other globally. She also addresses specific listener questions regarding the dissolution of her partnership, detailing financial and labor contributions, as well as personal dynamics that strained the professional relationship. Cooper reiterates her commitment to the podcast and its audience, expressing excitement for this new solo chapter and promising a more genuine and engaging experience.
