Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn start Call Her Daddy in 2018 and Barstool signs it on a three year contract paying 75,000 dollars a year plus bonuses as downloads jump from 12,000 to two million in two months. A public contract fight in spring 2020 ends with Cooper as sole host, then an exclusive Spotify deal in June 2021 reported at 60 million dollars and a move to SiriusXM in August 2024 under a 125 million dollar agreement. The show averages about ten million listeners an episode and anchors Unwell.
