0:00.0	What is up Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy.
0:11.5	Lauren Graham, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Thank you so much. I am such a fan. This is so epic and so fun. And I think that my fans, the daddy gang, are going to freak out that
0:22.5	we're in the same room. That's really, really nice of you to say. Thank you. I'm excited to.
0:26.5	How are you doing today? Listen, I was running a little late. It's raining in California,
0:31.5	which always freaks everybody out, but I'm otherwise good. No, everyone acts like we have to like all stay home from work when it rains.
0:40.0	It's like no one leave your house or none of us also can drive apparently.
0:43.6	No, everyone gets very stressed out and it's hard to, but it also looks really pretty and,
0:49.2	you know, it makes the air feel healthier.
0:53.2	True.
0:58.8	Okay, you live in L.A. What is the most L.A. thing about you and the least L.A. thing about you? Well, I live in L.A. and New York. I still have a place in New York
1:02.5	that I've had for a long time. So I'm endlessly like asking that question. I think one
1:08.0	extremely L.A. thing is to be really freaked out by like one inch of rain.

1:29.6	to the East Coast and I can't. I don't know how I ever lived there. I feel the same way. My parents
1:34.4	recently have been like, Alex, shut the fuck up. You literally grew up in Pennsylvania. You went to
1:38.8	school in Boston. You lived in New York. Yeah. Why are you cold? It's like 60 something degrees. I'm like, I need a, I need like a parka.
1:44.9	I think it changes your body to live here. I don't think it's our fault. I think that you just do
1:49.1	become more of a wimp. I agree. But like we're so fortunate to have this weather. Like I want to
1:54.0	stay in it forever. Yeah. And then the least L.A. thing about you. Um, I don't do yoga. I try. I've tried. I'll try again. I just can't. People were like,
2:04.5	oh my God, the yoga play. I don't know why I'm making impressions of my friends making them sound
2:09.2	like ding-dongs. But like, yeah, I can't do. I don't know. It's so slow. It's too slow.
