DeepSummary
Alex Cooper recounts the origin story of how her podcast Call Her Daddy was created during a disastrous weekend in Austin, Texas in April 2018. She was catfished, ghosted, and stood up by a man she met online, who turned out to be the assistant of a billionaire. Amidst the humiliation, she found herself venting angrily at a bar about how she could have experienced the best sex of her life, which sparked the idea for the raunchy podcast.
Years later, Alex returns to Austin for the SXSW film festival to host parties and events for Call Her Daddy's 6th anniversary. The first night involves getting extremely drunk, smoking weed on stage while trying to sing, and awkward encounters with celebrities like Blake Griffin and Mark Cuban. The second night is just as wild, with Alex hilariously failing at line dancing before leading the crowd in singing a Hannah Montana song.
Throughout the chaotic weekend, Alex reflects on how far Call Her Daddy has come, from her talking to herself in her parents' basement during COVID to now building a community of supportive friends and creators working together. She expresses immense gratitude for her team and the 'daddy gang' of fans who have made it all possible.
