Speaker 1 (0:02) What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. Morgan Stewart, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Thank you so much. I'm so excited. I am so excited to have you here. You got your start. on Rich Kids of Beverly Hills. Yes, I did. Shout out. Yes. You transitioned to host multiple shows on E. Multiple, yes. You have impeccable style. Thank you. I appreciate that. And you make it look effortless and achievable. You're the kind of person that I'm like screenshotting and trying to like remake it. Good. I don't ever remake it well, but like you're the inspo. I like that. How did you pick your outfit today? I'm very Gen Z. I'm in my Gen Z feelings today. So this is the first time I've ever worn these shoes and I bought them because I was like, I need to be, I'm a mother now. Speaker 1 (0:47) I need to be able to wear things that are convenient to running around. And I was like, I'm never going to wear them. And then I was like, you know what? Today is the fucking day. I'm putting them on and then I had these pants. They don't actually look good on me, but I always, this is my feet. They don't. The pleats in the front make me look like, like they're warping my thighs inward. But I will tell you, I am very big on everything I buy. I make sure to wear it once, even if it was the wrong choice. If I have not returned it, I always want to make sure that I've at least put it on my body so it's not a waste. And that's really how this all happened. And then I was going to wear a navy turtleneck. Oh, do we have enough time to listen to all this bullshit? Yeah. Speaker 1 (1:18) I was going to wear a navy turtleneck and it read too dark. So then I grabbed this and then I was like, is this too much like a teacher? That's how it came together. And I just left. I'm just geeking because I'm so happy your shoes are clean because this is a disaster set. And I tell you, people come on with the dirt. Can't have it. I was also going to tell you they are. They have not been in the world. I have never had someone go into that much detail when I asked them that question and I actually appreciate it. I like to give you an experience. How do you describe your style? It's classic with a little bit of a flair. I don't get into the trends. I try to avoid it. I've been able to get into the trends lately because my husband has more accessible income so I can like fuck up more. Speaker 1 (1:56) I love the honesty. But if you are on a budget, you should be buying a white and a black t-shirt, two pairs of jeans, black and blue, a black blazer, a beige blazer, and like keep it moving. Don't get into the like croppy tops. If you have to replenish your closet a lot, don't do that. Just go with the basics. Just go with the basics because they never, ever, ever, ever, ever leave. That's why they're called classic. Like getting into the like Barbie stripper vibe right now. I can't do it. So you're just taking your husband's credit card. Oh yeah. Swiping. Well, no, I have my own on his account. Speaker 1 (2:22) Oh, love that. Oh, no. So you're not spending your own money. No, ladies, this is no, I'm not. I gave two children to this person. Two in one year and one day apart. OK, I mean, it was a woman. Yeah, it was a lot, but it was amazing. The best thing I've ever done. And so you earn this. I've earned it. And I will tell you, because I get on this tangent. I'm always like, I'm not that. It is still a little bit strange for me because I'm somebody that has my own money. I'm still getting paid out at E. Shout out. Shout out. So I really, you know, a part of me is like, well, I could just pay for this. But I just feel like. Let him. Let him. Right. Thanks, babe. Yeah. Yeah, you go have a kid. See how that feels. Exactly. What is a current fashion trend that you love? Even though I know you said you don't like trends. Speaker 1 (3:02) If you had to pick. I think the sneakers right now. I feel like sneakers are really big. I feel like girls are wearing them all the time. And that's something that I'm getting more into. That's what I like. Are you into the dad sneakers? Like the New Balance? I am. And by the way, I had those like in the seventh grade. Things always come back. It's crazy. But I haven't gotten a pair. They've been hard to find. I got one pair recently. And someone that I work with complimented me on them. And I was ecstatic. Because I didn't really know. Like I'm sometimes like just going with it. Like I think this looks good. But I didn't really know for sure. And then I put them on. Speaker 1 (3:31) and like within an hour someone complimented me on that and I'm like oh my god I'm in the right lane. Yes. I know what I'm kind of doing. I'm happy these are back. They never left for me. Doesn't matter. Whatever year I'm obsessed with an UGG and I will do like an UGG. An UGG to the knee. To the knee. I'll do it. Oh yeah. Did you ever get rid of yours? Never. Speaker 1 (3:49) Thank God. I had to get rid of one black pair because they were really, they had seen the light of day. It was like disgusting. I had the sand color when I was in seventh grade. Yeah. I had to throw them out because they were to the knee and they were just at that point brown. Brown. So it wasn't as cute. I get it. But the Uggs, when people are like, they're so ugly. No, they're not. And they're comfortable. Amazing. And even like the super cropped ones with the platform. Now I'm trying to get my hands on those, but I can't find them. Speaker 1 (4:17) I just got a new closet. I just moved into my new house. Okay. And I've heard that you're the queen of organization. I am really. I've become. I need like a little tip for all the girlies listening and for myself. What is an organization tip that you have that's just a good go-to to remember when we're trying to organize our closets? Organize your closet based on season. So now I'm transferring summer things out. I don't care what anyone says, California. We still have seasons. Yeah. It's fall. No linen. Even my son was in linen yesterday. I was like, oh no, Chris. No linen. He's not in linen anymore. It's October. How old is your son? Eight months. Speaker 1 (4:53) But why are we in the linen joggers? He has new like sweat joggers. Who put him in linen joggers? My nanny. I was like, no, Chris, no. Oh. We can't do that. So you had to be like, listen, we're not in season. No, we're not in season. No linen. Do you like how your husband dresses? I do. Oh, this is such a question. Okay. So I really love the way my husband dresses. I will say. And I, a sign of a mature relationship and how I've grown is I also. Speaker 1 (5:15) Do not control it. He can wear what he wants. I don't have the energy to change things. We are not stylistically completely on the same page, but I appreciate what he wears because it works for him. The transition where, why are you asking me everything that's going on in my life? The things that we transition now, it's the transitioning from day to night where I would like it to be a little bit more formal, but we're having a hard time finding that happy medium because he still wants to be himself. And I'm like, but just wear the crew neck sweater and the jacket. Speaker 1 (5:41) Right. Does he get annoyed by you when you try to tell him what to do? Like it's not a conversation. And he's like a silent strong person. He's not a loud strong person. Oh, that's actually worse. I know. Because I'm like, oh, he's like has this power over me, but nobody usually does. Yes. But I do like it. Is that normal in your relationships that you usually have the power? Oh, yeah. I usually like dominate and like and completely like, you know, I overpower people. But I feel like the people that have been in my life in the past that I dated have always somewhat wanted to. We've. They've almost wanted to be like me. Does that make sense? In a way, like I exude like a strength that I think is appealing to males. And then they're like. Speaker 1 (6:19) whoa this is maybe too much but with my current husband I don't need to do that because we're just really balanced that's really interesting I can relate to that about first they're so attracted to it and then they get in the relationship with you and then it's a full for sure thing and that's when they get the most insecure but in the dating phase they love it and then you settle down and it's like it's the same thing as when girls are like wait why did you like when I posted bikini photos when we weren't fully exclusive but now that we are you're like all scared and you're going and running and liking other girls bikini photos like pick a fucking lane lane that's really interesting okay so the husband dresses to your liking yes he does but you could elevate a little bit I would I wouldn't even elevate it I would transition small things and I'm only talking about at night Speaker 1 (7:00) So mine is kind of the opposite, which is so strange. My boyfriend, I've never dated a man like this, has the best taste. Oh my God. It's so nice, right? He really knows how to dress. Okay. And he really understands design. Like we just redid our house and he was like, we don't need to get that big of a designer because like I know what we need. Smart. And it's like shocking to be in a, if anything, it makes me insecure because I'm usually the one, the guys that I've ever dated, I'm like, I don't give a fuck what you think I'm wearing. This relationship, I'm like. Speaker 1 (7:28) Okay, he has better taste. And I have to accept that. Which is honestly, that's so smart because I feel like my husband like accepts it, but doesn't think our taste is as different as it is, even though it's not. I think that's a... You're like, it's so fucking different. It's so... Shout out. Shout out. If you're listening to me. It's very... That is very smart of you because it's so nice to have that. Right. Just accept it. Yes. Someone's going to have better style and taste. Lean into that. Totally. Rather than try to just make it equal. Not everything has to be equal in a relationship. I agree with you. Okay, good. Yes. What is your take? Speaker 1 (7:58) On matching your children's outfits. Is mommy and daughter going to be wearing the same thing? And are your children going to be wearing the same thing? No and no. Absolutely fucking not. Like you don't have friends. Like you don't need to dress your kid like to you. Like you don't. Didn't you do that when you were in seventh grade? No my mother. She made my sister and I wear the same things for like Christmas. But that that is also like a traditional thing. And I feel like that's also that was our parents generation. I feel like that's like I get the Christmas photos and you're in the little blue dress or whatever. Do you send out a holiday card? Speaker 1 (8:28) Oh my God, I haven't, but I guess I'm going to this year. Why? Because I feel like I should do that. It's like an, it's a mature, nice thing. It's like a way to send a photo of your family with like it being in line with it being appropriate. Like it's fine. It's an excuse to get a photo out of you guys. Right. So yes, I will send a holiday card out. I did not send one last year. Are you going to be figuring out the outfit? Yes. Okay, wait, I did a photo shoot with my kids and they did wear the same outfit. I forgot. Speaker 1 (8:59) But can I tell you, they were leggings. He was like three months old and she was however old she was. And they were in like beige leggings and a long sleeve shirt. Like it was like pajamas. It wasn't, and we were all in beige. My husband's still mad at me about everyone being in beige. She was completely contradicting. I was like, I will never have my kids match. Oh my God. But by the way, it wasn't like, it wasn't supposed to be a fashion statement. They were just supposed to blend in, if that makes sense. I get that. Oh, okay. Just you wanted your kids to blend in because you wanted to stand out. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. That's good. Speaker 1 (9:28) Do you think your daughter is going to have the same personality as you? Yeah. How are you going to deal with that? I don't know. She already brings me to my knees. Really? She really is so strong. You can really tell about children. You can tell who's going to be the fucking loser. Who's not going to have friends. I'm kidding. I'm so kidding. Her friends, I'm like, oh, dork. No, I'm just kidding. By the way, it's hilarious because every mom thinks that every mom analyzes it. But I will say, I think that I can tell she's extremely sweet inside genuinely. And I'm not saying that because she's mine. And then there is a side that's quite fierce and strong willed. So I do, I think we're quite alike. Where do you think you got that from? You know, my parents, I feel like I'm very much like my mom, but she's less crazy and less like she's crazy in her own way, but not as. Speaker 1 (10:12) Outward as I am. Right, right, right. She's a little bit more conservative and a little bit more dialed back. Did you get in trouble in school at all? So this is so weird because every person I've ever been interviewed by in this context has always asked me that and always asks my mom that. And I never got in trouble. I was never late for curfew. I never, it was only in my early 20s that it was a little messy because I was kind of in love and dating the wrong person. And by dating, like I was dating him, he was not dating me. Oh, love that. I was like, well, I'm coming over. He's like, no. And I was like, no. I'm going over. And that's when I think my mom called me a few times because I was like, you know, I had been in college and then I left college and she was like, what the, what the, where are we going here? Speaker 1 (10:47) What the fuck are you doing with your life? I think why people probably ask you that is because I think you had this very like outspoken confident nature about you that I would see you as the person in class telling the teacher that he had the answer wrong. So you were just not like that. I was not like that but I also struggled like intensely in school. I had a really hard time. I definitely had like severe learning disabilities that were not diagnosed to like my senior year of high school. It was like she's failing math every year. What's wrong? Let's ignore it and keep her going and then in senior year they're like you're not going to graduate so I had to go. do a night school and pass the class. I had to see a math psychologist because I had such a bad learning disability. So I couldn't, I didn't, to be honest with you, I don't know how I know how to spell. Speaker 1 (11:28) So I could never, I was not like that. So I kind of just shut my mouth as much as possible. Okay, that makes sense. Because like you weren't confident in that aspect. So you're like, I'm just going to sit here and listen. Right. But then outside of the school doors, you're like running shit. Exactly. Like the playground, you're thriving. Oh yeah. Just not where the desks are. Exactly. That makes a lot of sense. Yes. And I think that's great for your career also that worked out. Exactly. You've got a great personality. Thank God. Okay, what is a hot take that you currently have? I know you had a show on E! Obviously, Necessary Realness. Speaker 1 (11:55) Are you sad it's done? No, I just think that's the stupidest decision anyone could have made. I mean, literally like the duck, like you, you know how hard you, how many people do interview? How many people really impress you? Good talent is hard. Oh, it's very hard. And, and somebody being manufactured by like whatever circumstance they're around that makes them popular doesn't mean that they're. Oh, so they kicked you off? Oh, they ended the shows. Speaker 1 (12:16) They ended the shows. They put an end to Nightly Pop, Daily Pop, and they were like, we're going to sunset Necessary Realness. I will tell
