Chapter 1: Why does Ed Sheeran have such a polarizing effect on people?
What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy. Ed Sheeran, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Hey. Okay, wait. I was going to ask you. A musician never is sitting in the seat at 9 a.m. Like, I've never had a musician. Really? Is that the coffee?
there we go bring in the coffee thank you um thank you so much thank you um I'm honestly an early riser like I'm an early riser and an early bed timer but I'd have two very young girls at home so like I'm up at 5 30 every morning oh my god so I'm yeah I was up I was up at about 6 30 this morning and what time did you go to bed
3.30. Oh, wow. So you could get like, do you get a little like loopy? Like, are you going to get like weird funny? Are you going to like fall asleep on me?
Honestly, I have no idea where my body is at the moment. We've been in India, China, and then just and then UK for a bit. And then now in America. So my body is all over the shop.
Wait, you were in Boston?
we're in boston last night yeah that is one of my favorite places ever i went to college there so boston to me is like boston university amazing i spent many nights on bar floors and club floors and where are you originally from pennsylvania amazing and then i went to school in boston and i remember being in boston and be like this is the greatest fucking place these bars are epic the people are epic like everyone just goes so fucking hard it definitely feels european
It definitely has like a vibe about it that every time I've gone to Boston, like it's always been the first place for me, like the first biggest theater I played in the first arena I played here and then the first stadium. And it's always been. But I guess there's something to do with the Irish heritage, I guess that. Yeah, but yeah, I love Boston. Last night was fun. We did, it's obviously St.
Patrick's Day. And I flew the folk band that played with me on Galway Girl. I flew them over and they learned all my songs. And we basically did a trad jam of, it was like a set, but it was like with an Irish trad band.
And was that where you were like running on top of the bar singing?

Chapter 2: How does Ed Sheeran balance his music career with family life?
do it okay you living in nashville at that time or anytime have you ever considered doing a country album i think there's yeah i guess so but i the from living in nashville you can't just like dip your toe in if i'm gonna do it i have to do it and then that's it do you have like a good twang like could you pull it off
I feel because my heritage is sort of Anglo-Irish and I grew up with trad music in my household. I think it would have to be a little twinge of that. I think I'd have to bring Irish trad music into country because it's the same instruments anyway. But yeah, so I wouldn't have a twang. But I've made country songs in the past. They've just never come out. I feel like I have to...
I have to do it properly. And I think when you transition to country, you can't transition back. Once you're there, you're there.
So maybe you'll do it like your later phase of life.
Nashville is like my favorite city in the States. And yeah, it's always been like my end goal would be like, I'm going to move to Nashville and transition to country. But yeah, I think you just have to do it properly. It's like it's a genre you have to really respect. And it's not just dipping in and out.
I get it. Okay. The Super Bowl.
I like it.
Have you ever been asked to do the Super Bowl?
There was a conversation about 10 years ago to go on with someone, and I think that would be the only way that I would do it at the moment. I don't think... I've had this conversation before. I don't think English artists are like... I mean, there are some that have the pizzazz of Super Bowl, fireworks, dancers, blah, blah, blah.
