If you think Call Her Daddy is just another podcast, guess again. This show is the second most popular in the world, raking in 5 million downloads every week. It’s not just a yap session on dating; it’s the #1 show for women aged 18-24, and Alex Cooper has turned it into a cultural and political force.

Breaking The Internet While Building an Empire

A Legendary Feud Started It All 🥊 

Okay, rewind. Before Alex Cooper was hosting Vice Presidents, she was one-half of the duo behind Call Her Daddy, along with Sofia Franklyn. The show’s early days under Barstool Sports were wildly successful, but it all came crashing down in 2020 when the two hosts split over money and contracts. Sofia accused Alex of negotiating secret deals with Barstool’s ‘El Presidente’ aka The Suit Man aka Dave Portnoy, leading to a very public breakup.

The outcome? Alex walked away with the rights to the show, snagged a $60M Spotify deal, and has since owned the brand. Meanwhile, Sofia launched her own show, Sofia with an F. The drama may have been messy, but Alex turned it into a masterclass in business moves.

Kamala Harris on Call Her Daddy

Power Play or PR Fail? 👩‍💼 

Fast forward to today. Vice President Kamala Harris recently appeared on Call Her Daddy, and it stirred up all the emotions. For Harris’s team, this wasn’t just a guest spot—it was a strategic play. The podcast reaches a young, diverse, and politically mixed audience that mainstream media wishes they could access.

According to data from Edison Research:

• 70% of listeners are women

• 76% are under 35 (93% under 45)

• The political breakdown? 48% Democrat, 24% Republican, 20% Independent

• Geographically, listeners are spread across the South (34%), West (24%), Northeast (22%), and Midwest (20%).

Harris’s team knew this audience was crucial, but they weren’t just chasing numbers; they wanted to reach young people who don’t tune into traditional news. She doesn’t need a 30-minute interview with CNN when she can do one with Call Her Daddy and reach many more voters. And, no lie, they were onto something.

Kamala is SO Brat

Is There Brat Summer Without a Coconut Tree? 🥥 

Unless you live under a rock, you know June-Aug has been officially rebranded as Brat Summer. Kamala Harris’s team tried to tap into that energy—hoping to reach young people who might not be into politics but love their coconut memes.

I know what you’re thinking, bold move, but it shows how much cultural trends and politics are blending. Call Her Daddy, once known for dating advice and sex talk, is now at that intersection. And in a world where politicians are trying to get “in” with Gen Z, Call Her Daddy is the platform to make it happen—or, in this case, try.

The Call Her Daddy x Kamala Harris episode included questions that hit on real topics without the political jargon.

The Backlash

The Daddy Gang Has Opinions 💬 

Despite the effort, Harris’s appearance on Call Her Daddy faced a mixed reception. It didn’t help that the YouTube segment struggled to get traction—clocking in under 100k views within the first 16 hours and amassing a 31% favorability rating.

The “Daddy Gang” felt some type of way, especially Trump supporters who called out Cooper for not inviting him. Alex clarified that Trump either didn’t respond or declined, but it didn’t stop the criticism.

On YouTube, the comments section lit up:

Why Call Her Daddy Still Matters

Not Just Another Podcast 🎙️ 

Here’s the takeaway: Call Her Daddy isn’t just a podcast; it’s a platform that has influence across demographics and politics. Whether it’s feuding with Sofia Franklyn, signing a massive Spotify deal, or bringing on polarizing guests, Alex Cooper knows how to create buzz.

Love her or hate her, she’s built a platform that matters—not just for entertainment, but for culture and politics too. It’s a place where real, unfiltered conversations happen, and that’s why it’s powerful.

BTW—Father Cooper would want you to get cuffed 🫡
