Listener sentiment
Call Her Daddy's recent ratings remain overwhelmingly negative, with no meaningful recovery since the prior summary window. The dominant grievance is still the May episode in which Alex Cooper and comedian Robby Hoffman dismissed celiac disease as a lifestyle trend rather than a serious autoimmune condition — a wave of detailed, angry reviews from listeners personally affected by the disease call the segment dangerous misinformation and note that no apology has been issued. Beyond that controversy, a consistent cluster of complaints across numerous independent reviews describe Cooper as a weak interviewer who interrupts guests, repeats their names excessively, asks shallow questions, defers to celebrities, and fails to dig beneath surface-level answers; excessive ad breaks and heavy verbal filler (particularly overuse of the word "like") remain recurring secondary grievances. Newer reviews add two flashpoints: the Nara Smith episode drew split reactions, with some listeners praising the tradwife content and others accusing Cooper of hypocrisy for platforming someone whose values clash with the show's feminist branding without challenging her, while the Tana Mongeau episode was criticized as an unstructured "friend hangout" rather than a real interview. Multiple reviewers also question Cooper's credibility on relationships and feminism, citing her marriage dynamics, past comments about another couple's baby, and her willingness to give platforms to controversial figures. A loyal minority continues to champion marquee guest bookings — Sarah J. Maas, Kesha, John Mayer, Chelsea Handler, and Nikki Glaser all drew enthusiastic praise — and Cooper's relatable "big sister" persona, but those voices remain sparse relative to the volume of dissatisfaction.
