What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. Daddy,

welcome back to another episode of Call Her Daddy. Today I am joined by none other than the producer of Call Her Daddy, my best friend, Lauren McMullen.

Wow.

For anyone that didn't watch my documentary on Hulu Call Her Alex,

one of the reveals in the documentary is that Lauren has been the producer of Call Her Daddy and has been working

with me for over four years. And a lot of you, actually, most all of you, were shocked.

I have never talked about this publicly. We have kept this a secret and we've kept it private.

And today we are here to get into why we

decided to keep it private, why we never shared it with the world, the reasoning behind it,

and also what it's actually like to work with your best friend and the process of Call Her Daddy.

We are going to walk you guys through what we do every single week in working together.

So I think we should just get into it.

Let's tell them how this came to be.

So I think we have to go all the way back to 2020 in the pandemic.

And first, again, I think everyone knows this is at this point,

but Lauren and I have been childhood best friends since we were about six years old. Yeah,

second grade. Second grade. So six years old, Lauren and I have been best friends. And we have grown up

together. We played soccer together. We made movies together. We didn't go to the same high school or college, but we've been best friends our whole lives. And in 2020, when I was producing and editing and hosting Call Her Daddy on my own, it was the pandemic and I was by myself living in New York. And it was a pretty dark time. I think I was really struggling. There was a lot

going on online, obviously, with Call Her Daddy. And I was pretty isolated in New York City at the time.

And Lauren happened to be going through a breakup at this time. And Lauren was trying to figure out

her next move. Am I going to have to move home? What am I going to do? And I remember saying,

Lauren, just move into my apartment with me. Like, this will be beautiful. Let's live together again
