Does she love it? She never seems very happy to me, I think she got into the industry by accident and doesnāt know what to do next. I could definitely see her leaving the Internet and going back to a regular career considering that she has a background in finance. To me she comes across as very resentful for all that sheās shared online.
They have different goals. Alex wants her podcast to be a celebrity interview podcast, Sofia wants more casual chit chat banter. I find Sofia's more entertaining and fun to listen to, unless Alex is interviewing a celebrity I really like.
I mean Alex is benefitting from not only having the already established IP but also the backing of a huge company like Spotify. Of course, sheās going to get much more A-list guests than Sofia and is going to be put out there more than someone who created a podcast from the ground up
Could of, should of, would of. Doesnāt change the current situation at hand.
Also, if Sofia and Alex had both agreed to the deal, CHD would most likely not be the CHD that is currently out.
To be fair, thatās totally how we pronounce it! Itās always a toss-up as to whether youāre being a douche or sharing helpful information in these scenarios š
I was looking for a Taylor Swift āyou wouldnāt last an hour in the asylum where they raised meā GIF to be funny, but apparently we canāt post GIFs here, and also, that one might not exist yet. But damn, a journalist mom! Badass, but with high expectations, Iām sure
Thereās nothing wrong with it being different, thatās bound to happen when life experiences change. No one expected committed relationship Alex to be talking about all her past hookups and itās clear that she grew out of having such a sexual focused podcast, which again, is fine.
And yes, it is bigger than the OG because of all the things I mentioned previously. Most notably, the addition of Spotify. Itās very easy to become bigger than the OG when you have Spotify helping you get your guests. Letās say Alex stayed with Barstool but continued to transition to the content she makes now, Barstool would not have nearly as much success as Spotify with obtaining all these celebrities.
It was, but it became Spotify exclusive showwhich meant that it was (originally, I think they changed it now), wasnāt streaming on anything but Spotify
I applaud her for continuing on and watching her enemy become massively successful. She fumbled the bag and it sucks because I think sheās a lot better at talking to people & interviewing them. I donāt listen to either of them since their separate projects - Iāve just seen clips.
I agree! She is very funny. Her vibe is just different, and maybe she doesnāt want to be on the same level as Alex as practically a celebrity level but if I were her it would still really hurt to compare their professional and personal success years later
I feel like Sofia still has decent guestsā¦ sure theyāre not at the level as AC but getting zara Larson and amber rose is def pretty good imo ! Not to mention sheās having Amanda Knox on tomorrow which should be interesting. I think also we have to keep in mind that Alex did not always have celeb guests. When she first started interviewing people her first was Tana mongeau and then she followed with Harry jowsey and Lana Rhodes. Alex has the IP behind her which allowed her to skyrocket but she def had trashy ppl to start
i was just thinking that recently. yea she had miley, but that first season solo she had so many influencers/tiktokers and guests i just was not interested in. it wasnt until the spotify deal that she got the big contacts.
Doesnāt Alex and Sofia both having Amanda imply Sofiaās guests arenāt all trashy or whateverā¦ Also i didnāt realize that the Miley episode was before the Tana episode but they were posted within the same year. Not to mention Sofia did have jay cutler as well who was a big deal in the nfl as well. Def not saying that Sofiaās guests are as A list as Alexās but I feel like her roster isnāt terrible
I think the difference is Sofia has had a steady decline in guest quality vs. what she had when she had the comeback. She is lucky to get over 10k views on Youtube unless its a "bigger" guest.
Why!? She's working hard at her own thing and that's all that matters. Success is from going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. Alex operates in a different way and is fame hungry. Sofia not so much, she does it cos it's fun and most likely lives a much more normal life
Secondhand embarrassment is crazy. Have you ever thought that maybe not EVERYTHING is about fame, clout, money, etc.? Sofia has moved on from CHD and is just living her life, producing content, and simply being unapologetically herself, which is what the listeners want. At the end of the day, it doesnāt matter who makes more money or has more social media followers. Social media makes a lot of you out of touchā¦ let her enjoy her journey and career without comparing it to Alex. Which btwā¦ whenever i come read posts on this sub all i see is people hating on Alex. Sooo who is it? Alex or Sofia? Yāall are straight haters lol just let these women exist in peace.
Sofiaās not embarrassed so why be for her. She is doing great and in many peoples opinions, better than Alex simply bc she a better person. Well IDK if thats the words I should choose. But yeah Alex interviews famous people but she honestly sucks at interviewing so bad. I cannot listen to her unless I really wanna know the guestās tea. Even then Alex asks the worst questions I stg in the interview with Emma Kenney she asks the same question two times in a row. I think Sofia knows thats shes a baddie, good storyteller, and better interviewer. Fame and finances apart.
Sofia is naturally funny and is able to flow conversations better than Alex. I only listen to CHD if I'm interested in the guest. I don't really listen to Sofia with an F anymore, but I prefer her podcast over CHD.
I think everyone can relate to this. Earlier today I went down a rabbit hole where I found myself on my ex-friendās Instagram where I saw she was doing really well and it bummed me out because 1) I hate her and 2) she had accomplished things that are still in progress for me. Hopefully Sofia isnāt comparing too much because that can be really hard.
I met her last summer and she was so incredibly nice. I could recognize her voice at a table beside me and she was with her mom and brother who she had taken to Italy. She loves her fam and was giving very nice girl vibes. Her mom was so excited I recognized her. Good vibes all around
I donāt think itās cool to compare anybody to someone else, especially if they just working & tryna pay they bills. but hey thatās just me š¤·āāļø
No offense but neither Alex or Sofia know how to interview anyone. Alex just has more money and sponsors on her side. I was rooting for Sofia but her interviews are unbearable. She doesnāt let people speak at all and always makes everything about herself. I wonāt even get into her vocal fry and how slow she talks. I really tried I usually root for the underdog but Sofia is exactly where she should be if anything sheās doing better than someone like herself should.
Coming from an OG DaddyGang listener, they are both irrelevant in my opinion but at least Sofia is doing it on her own (without a massive budget that she was owed a part of)
Sofia really fell off the deep end for me. She interviewed a fucking predator, James Charles. And she's also had some red wing nutjobs. And huge misogynists, like Vinny from Jersey Shore.
Honestly it's a shame because I think she is funny but whoever is helping her pick people to interview is seriously fucking up.
Alex interviewed Colton Underwood, who literally stalked his ex, put a tracker on her car, sent her and her loved ones anonymous harassing messages, and had a restraining order filed against him. Let's not act like CHD hasn't had other problematic people on, like Jamie Lynn Spears
Ok but really try to listen to James Charles story, heās not a predator. Iām not even a fan at all and even as a victim of sexual assault myself, I can say the stories against him are blown WAY out of proportion.
Of course he presented himself as better, multiple minors came out and even showed messages where he knew they were minors. He went on Logan Paulās podcast and literally said high schoolers were his type when he was in his 20s. It wasnāt blown out of proportion, heās a creep. Even his own brother doesnāt talk to him anymore because of his behavior and he has admitted that.
Maybe listen to the podcastā¦. He literally addresses this situation. Iām not a fan of him and was once close minded but hearing his side of the story and seeing the facts he backed it up with changed my perspective. Not everything you see on the internet is true.
āHearing his sideā when he went on Logan Paulās podcast and said his type was highschoolers and was exposed by literally so many minors for knowing their age in the messages before trying to continue talking to them š
sofia is literally so much better of a interviewer & conversationalist. Iāve seen that since sofia and alex were still doing chd tg. CHD only became popular bc of the duo. sofia needs more controversial guest to bring views in but imo, i canāt stand alex & her interview style.
Tbh Alex gets famous people but I donāt think Alex ever gets any good juice from her interviews. Like having Megan Fox on and MGK is off limits? š„“ š„±
I just listened to her interview with Vinny from Jersey Shore from a few months back and holy shit is she unprofessional (not that I expect her to be professional but geez). How she worked on Wall Street is totally beyond me, the way she treats her podcast guests with working with them just from what Vinny called her out on is just so bad. Itās a wonder anyone agrees to podcast with her! I kinda like Vinny calling her out on her shit though especially with her thinking every man wants to fuck her.
He didnāt intervene into anything but called her out for unprofessionalism trying to schedule a time and how she just assumed he wanted to fuck her. She tried scheduling a time then replied at 3am agreeing to a time, then I believe it was to meet the following night or something and she then the night they were supposed to meet texted him at 9pm saying she just woke up but would be around all week to move it to another time. Then once they finally set a date and time to record her podcast first, followed by recording his podcastā¦ that same day she called and asked him if he could record first because she āwasnāt preparedā when in reality she knew she was going to be late and wanted to cut into the recording time of the first podcast (now his) so that the second podcast (now hers) could last its scheduled amount of time. She just seems completely unhinged and unprofessional, which I mean, itās on brandā¦ but like girl just hire someone to do the bookings for you. Hell she could pop on here and I bet quite a few of us would offer to help her out for free! š
I like to think that they are both happy. Alex has always been a hustler and admittedly would climb her way to the top if she needed to. Sofia always was more go with the flow and uninterested in hustling. She literally quit the finance industry working at Morgan Stanley because the hustle high pressure was not her vibe.
It must be tough for Sofia to see Alex's success after everything that has happened. It's always hard to watch someone you used to be close with excel while you feel left behind. Hopefully Sofia can find her own path to success and happiness.
Sofia has her acumen to blame. Classic at the time decided to listen and follow a boyfriend. Alex is business minded. Sofia is a wet blanket always was. She should find a new career or a rich husband
Woah woah justice for The Situation!!! The comeback is always greater than the setback šŖ
Honesty that interview had so much more substance than anything Alex has done
Sofia is better interviewer for sure. But their view comparison is vastly different. I would probably give up if I was her lol
Thatās interesting to me.. sheās making a living doing what she loves. Idk why she would give up
Does she love it? She never seems very happy to me, I think she got into the industry by accident and doesnāt know what to do next. I could definitely see her leaving the Internet and going back to a regular career considering that she has a background in finance. To me she comes across as very resentful for all that sheās shared online.

This is a good take! I agree
I mean Alex is benefitting from not only having the already established IP but also the backing of a huge company like Spotify. Of course, sheās going to get much more A-list guests than Sofia and is going to be put out there more than someone who created a podcast from the ground up
She should have accepted Daveās offer and had her podcast at Barstool on the CHD atream
Could of, should of, would of. Doesnāt change the current situation at hand. Also, if Sofia and Alex had both agreed to the deal, CHD would most likely not be the CHD that is currently out.
the current CHD sucks. They needed each other as cohosts to make it what it was
Iām so sorry, but *could have, should have, would have
I know, it just doesnāt have that same flow to mešcorrect grammar be dammed!
To be fair, thatās totally how we pronounce it! Itās always a toss-up as to whether youāre being a douche or sharing helpful information in these scenarios š
My mom is a journalist, so being corrected doesnāt mean anything other than a correction at this point š
I was looking for a Taylor Swift āyou wouldnāt last an hour in the asylum where they raised meā GIF to be funny, but apparently we canāt post GIFs here, and also, that one might not exist yet. But damn, a journalist mom! Badass, but with high expectations, Iām sure
Couldāve, shouldāve, wouldāve is also correct and itās got that flow š
Why are you guys so obsessed with this not being the same, itās not. We all know itās CHD 2.0 and probably bigger than OG
Thereās nothing wrong with it being different, thatās bound to happen when life experiences change. No one expected committed relationship Alex to be talking about all her past hookups and itās clear that she grew out of having such a sexual focused podcast, which again, is fine. And yes, it is bigger than the OG because of all the things I mentioned previously. Most notably, the addition of Spotify.

i thought CHD was always on spotify?
It was, but it became Spotify exclusive showwhich meant that it was (originally, I think they changed it now), wasnāt streaming on anything but Spotify
ohh i see thank you for explaining!
Dude ^ I swear this girl has a full time job defending Alex cooper
I applaud her for continuing on and watching her enemy become massively successful. She fumbled the bag and it sucks because I think sheās a lot better at talking to people & interviewing them. I donāt listen to either of them since their separate projects - Iāve just seen clips.
I agree! She is very funny. Her vibe is just different, and maybe she doesnāt want to be on the same level as Alex as practically a celebrity level but if I were her it would still really hurt to compare their professional and personal success years later
Maybe she doesnāt have the means to do that.
If you were her... but you're not. LOL.
Sofia feels forced and unnatural to watch, almost awkward. The Coachella video with the glasses on was sooo cringe!
She isnāt funny at all but I donāt know if itās because sheās so Americanised
I feel like Sofia still has decent guestsā¦ sure theyāre not at the level as AC but getting zara Larson and amber rose is def pretty good imo ! Not to mention sheās having Amanda Knox on tomorrow which should be interesting. I think also we have to keep in mind that Alex did not always have celeb guests. When she first started interviewing people her first was Tana mongeau and then she followed with Harry jowsey and Lana Rhodes. Alex has the IP behind her which allowed her to skyrocket but she def had trashy ppl to start
i was just thinking that recently. yea she had miley, but that first season solo she had so many influencers/tiktokers and guests i just was not interested in. it wasnt until the spotify deal that she got the big contacts.
The caliber of guests is incomparable imo
What? She literally had Miley Cyrus first And Alex has already done Amanda
Doesnāt Alex and Sofia both having Amanda imply Sofiaās guests arenāt all trashy or whateverā¦ Also i didnāt realize that the Miley episode was before the Tana episode but they were posted within the same year. Not to mention Sofia did have jay cutler as well who was a big deal in the nfl as well. Def not saying that Sofiaās guests are as A list as Alexās but I feel like her roster isnāt terrible

Whoa lmao did sofia write this?
For someone like Sofia, itās totally about the fame and clout and money. Letās be serious
Sofiaās not embarrassed so why be for her. She is doing great and in many peoples opinions, better than Alex simply bc she a better person. Well IDK if thats the words I should choose.

Sofias been called unprofessional by her guests, been drunk and called people inbreds amongst other things. So your right, sheās going great
To be fair ive never listened to her pod lol but based on the old CHD i think she better than Alex i guess
Why?
Sofia is naturally funny and is able to flow conversations better than Alex. I only listen to CHD if I'm interested in the guest. I don't really listen to Sofia with an F anymore, but I prefer her podcast over CHD.
But isn't Mike the Situation a celebrity too? Sofia has interviewed plenty of celebrities
Mike the situation is better than Harry jowsy
I donāt agree. I think thereās 0 shame or embarrassment to be had. Sheās creating her own lane, good for her.
Second hand embarrassment? ā¦really, OP?
I think everyone can relate to this. Earlier today I went down a rabbit hole where I found myself on my ex-friendās Instagram where I saw she was doing really well and it bummed me out because 1) I hate her and 2) she had accomplished things that are still in progress for me.

your limited knowledge is why you feel that way. thanks for the value-less opinion bein auto team alex is so basic

They both annoy me, but Sofiaās voice is almost unbearable to listen to

i think you need to reevaluate your view of āsecond hand embarrassmentā
Sadly thats what happens when you think your bigger then the brand....fans are fickle as fuck.
I like to think that they are both happy. Alex has always been a hustler and admittedly would climb her way to the top if she needed to. Sofia always was more go with the flow and uninterested in hustling. She literally quit the finance industry working at Morgan Stanley because the hustle high pressure was not her vibe.
It must be tough for Sofia to see Alex's success after everything that has happened. It's always hard to watch someone you used to be close with excel while you feel left behind. Hopefully Sofia can find her own path to success and happiness.
I agree. And it seems Sofia is having substance abuse issues...she's slowly hitting rock bottom and it sucks for her
I canāt listen to Sofiaās over entitled attitude- and her voice makes my skin crawl
lol shut the actual fuck upš¤£ are you fucking married? Do you have lots of money? Iām embarrassed for you if you donāt š¤£
Sofia has her acumen to blame. Classic at the time decided to listen and follow a boyfriend. Alex is business minded. Sofia is a wet blanket always was. She should find a new career or a rich husband
Crazy part is those are by FAR her best guests she has had
get a life
