The 91-year-old sat down with Alex Cooper for an episode of the podcast Call Her Daddy, known for its unfiltered and at times risqué conversations.

However, Cooper made it clear from the start that this conversation would be different, saying she was “switching it up” for her interview with Goodall, which she described as “genuinely so special.”

Goodall spoke at length about her lifelong dedication to primatology and conservation, reflecting on her many decades spent studying chimpanzees in the wild.

She also reflected not only on breaking ground in the field of conservation, but on how being a woman shaped the way she was perceived by her male peers.

Cooper asked Goodall about the first time she appeared on the cover of National Geographic in 1965, during which there was an "intense focus" on her appearance.

"Well, some of the jealous male scientists will say, 'Well, you know, she's just got this notoriety, and she's getting money from Geographic. And they want her on the cover, and they wouldn't put her on the cover if she didn't have nice legs,” Goodall said.

"So, if somebody said that today, they'd be sued. Right? Back then, all I wanted was to get back to the chimps," she continued.

"So, if my legs were getting me the money, thank you, legs. And if you look at those covers, they were jolly nice legs."
