Yes, the 72-year-old appeared on Fox News's Hannity to complain about the federal response to Hurricane Helene. During this, he said, "You can't make this stuff up. In the last couple of days, the vice president goes on some show called Call Her Daddy or 'Call Your Daddy' or 'Who's Your Daddy?' or something."

"I like 'Who's Your Daddy?' better," referring to Kamala Harris's appearance on the popular podcast hosted by Alex Cooper. According to Spotify, Call Her Daddy is the podcast most listened to by women on the platform. "Among other things, she's talking about tampons."

"You know, the people of Appalachia right now don't give a function about tampons. They need water. They need to get out. I'll say it again: You cannot make this stuff up," he added.

It's worth addressing the only time that tampons are mentioned throughout the entirety of the 45-minute Call Her Daddy episode. At one point, Alex describes TikToks she's seen: "I have seen girls on the street walk up to men and be like, do you know where a tampon goes? [...] And they don't know the answer."
