The intro — as said out loud
What is up, Daddy gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. Gail King, welcome to Caller Daddy... I know you're also very busy. So, thank you for taking the time to sit down with me. Okay. For the past 14 years, you have been hosting the CBS Morning Show. And in addition to that, you are the editor at large of Oprah Daily. I realized something though... Last time we were together... We kind of went viral... Gail proceeds to ask me what my favorite sex position with my husband is.
