Summary
Alex Cooper (Call Her Daddy, Call Her Alex) is a podcast host and television personality. Alex joins the Armchair Expert to discuss coveting Orna as her own shrink, growing up with a therapist mother, and the push to continuously be learning and honing her craft as a podcast host. Dax and Alex talk about her parents bombing their speech at her wedding, feeling vaguely aware of their competition upon first meeting but rooting for each other anyway, and why in order to be professionally respected she knew she had to create a bubble around herself. Alex explains attempting to hide her middle school past as a bullied “ugly duckling,” the sexual harassment she experienced as a college soccer player, and delving into how the system failed her in her new documentary Call Her Alex.
