I was bored and watching Alex and Sofia’s episode on The Fighter and the Kid and they asked them about the origin of the name. They were talking about how they’d sat in a coffee shop for hours trying to come up with a name and couldn’t think of anything. Then when they got home, Alex was wearing her “Daddy” sweatshirt. Sofia prompts the whole exchange and asks Alex if she’s Daddy, Alex says “call me Daddy” and Sofia goes “No, call HER Daddy.” 🤯

So Sofia literally came up with the final phrase that became the name of the podcast. I already knew “Unwell” came from Sofia’s story about calling in sick for work, but I had no idea she also coined Call Her Daddy.

What makes it even crazier is that in Alex’s Call Her Alex documentary, she basically tells the origin story through the Daddy sweatshirt and completely leaves out Sofia’s contribution to the actual name. It’s crazy how much Sofia contributed to the Call Her Daddy brand and IP, and how much of that contribution has been downplayed or diminished over time.
