Alexandra Cooper 00:00:01 - 00:00:14
Hi, daddy Ying. Alright. I'm gonna get right into it. So I have read everything on the Internet. I've read Twitter. I've read Instagram. I've read Snapchat. I have read Reddit.
Alexandra Cooper 00:00:14 - 00:00:59
I have read, the articles. I've listened to the podcast, the radio stations. You've name it. I've read it. I've seen it all. And now I'm coming on here today to tell the full story, to tell my story, and this is basically a story that takes place over 2 years. So, as you guys know, I love to talk, so what I've done here is I have essentially outlined the 2 years of this entire situation, and I've tried to break it down from the beginning to now. And I know that Dave did that on his our podcast, his, episode, but I think it's important for you guys to hear on my end and and what was happening on Sofia and my end.

So let's get right into it. The beginning. So the beginning of Call Her Daddy. So what happened was I was on unemployment checks. I didn't have a job. And my friend who had just started at a start up reached out to me and was like, hey, Alex. Do you wanna do a podcast? And I was like, what's a podcast? But sure. Great.
Alexandra Cooper 00:01:18 - 00:01:36
Can't wait to get into it. Like, don't have a job. At the time, I was just vlogging and trying to make it on YouTube. So I bring Sofia along. I'm like, yep. We're gonna do a show. No idea what it's gonna be yet, but we created it and we get going. So we created 4 episodes, and then Dave Portnoy slid into my DMs.
Alexandra Cooper 00:01:37 - 00:02:06
I had known Dave throughout the industry. No. Not even the industry. I just knew him in social scenes of New York City. So we kind of, like, knew of each other. And then so I went to Dave, went to Barstool alone by myself for a few meetings, and they went great. Dave and I talked about, you know, coming, with caller daddy, me vlogging, and also just, like, coming as a personality and doing things at Barstool. And I was so excited.
Alexandra Cooper 00:02:06 - 00:02:14
Couldn't be more excited. Great. Can't wait. And I told him, Caller Daddy is Sofia and I. And he was like, Great. Can't wait to meet her. Bring her along. Let's do the damn thing.

So, that's how the beginning of Caller Daddy started. Now, barstool early days. So our original contract was a 3 year deal. We were gonna make $75,000 each, and we were going to have a 3 year contract, and then the 2nd year, 85, and then the 3rd year, 100. 3 months into our 1st year, we got raises during Christmas time. Then after the event at the Barstool Christmas party, Dave and Erica called me back in and they gave me a raise for editing and doing all the social media and doing all the marketing. I chose not to share this raise with Sofia, and I chose to do that because Sofia made me feel uncomfortable that I did more work. And to kinda help you guys understand that, I would just be editing late night, the show, and I would take a Snapchat, post it, be like, daddy ing episode coming soon.
Alexandra Cooper 00:03:27 - 00:04:23
And Sofia came to me and was like, you know, I don't feel comfortable, and it makes me upset that you are posting those things because it makes, you look like you do more work than me, and it doesn't look good on me. We would go into meetings, and people would be like, hey. Like, who edits the show? It's great. And Sofia would say, we do. So that was difficult for me because I I take great pride in editing this show. And I think that it's important just to, quickly I don't wanna get, like, too techie, but I think it's important to quickly explain the Call Her Daddy show and how it's edited because it's not edited like any other podcast. When we first started, I had never heard of a podcast, but I was vlogging. And I knew that our millennial generation, Gen z, etcetera, we have a very short time span of attention.
