Episode Overview

In this throwback episode, Alex Cooper welcomes comedian and podcast host Hannah Berner back to Call Her Daddy for a hilarious, unfiltered, and sometimes scandalous conversation. True to the show’s signature mix of locker-room honesty and empowering girl talk, Alex and Hannah dissect sex, relationships, awkward college rituals, and the power moves women learn in — and out — of the bedroom.
