Call Her Daddy
"If women are not looking out for each other, then who is looking out for us?" — Chelsea Handler
"Everyone is on their own path. I'm not going to say journey because you know how I feel about that word. It belongs in a gurney. But I just, everyone needs to stop being so competitive and like the sea, all ships rise with the tide. As soon as one of us goes up, all of us come up. So we always have to look at women's success as not a threat, but as a celebration because it is so easy to be jealous and let that drive you." — Alex Cooper (paraphrasing guest sentiment)
"The more we start to be like linking arms and be like, nope, we're all gonna, we're gonna fucking come up here together. That's when it starts to get even down. Someone else's win isn't your loss." — Alex Cooper
