Summary

Consider this episode my official editorial corrections corner — because yes, I did in fact call Megan Stalter “Megan Stabler,” referred to Allyson as “she” instead of “they,” and somehow managed to say Lanny Lally instead of Lacy Lally. I’m a sloppy podcaster, but I’m doing the best I can, people!

We’re covering a lot today:

The rise of “Growing Up Together,” a new podcast starring Hilaria Baldwin and her eleven-year-old daughter (yes, you read that right). Spoiler: if your skincare book flops, maybe don’t turn your kid into a co-host with eyelash extensions and a full acrylic set.
Soho House going corporate — aka, selling itself to hotel investors, Ashton Kutcher joining the board (ugh), and what this means for NYC’s elite hob-nob club scene. Plus, my thoughts on all the new private members-only clubs popping up in Manhattan and why I still, despite myself, want that damn invite.
What I watched this week: Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser on Netflix (BLEEK), the Yogurt Shop Murders doc (dark), and the Child Star doc (decent).

Oh, and yes — I did notice you guys loved the NYC Crypto Kidnapping episode more than anything else I’ve recorded in the last 10 years. Once the wedding madness dies down, I’m thinking of making “Freaky Friday” episodes a recurring thing. Thoughts???

Buckle up buttercups this is a good one.

0:16.2	Welcome to I Know You Didn't Ask, the unapologetic, unfiltered, and slightly unhinged podcast you didn't know you needed.
0:22.5	I'm your host, Megan O'Donnell, pop culture obsessive, professional oversharer, and the host of your new favorite five-day-week fix for celebrity gossip, reality TV chaos, books, beauty tips, and of course navigating your life in your 30s.
0:37.0	I know you didn't ask, but I'm telling you anyways.
0:39.3	Sit back, grab a drink, and enjoy the show. Welcome to I Know You Didn't Ask. I'm your host, Megan O'Donnell. It's a gorgeous Tuesday here in New Jersey. The sun is shining. We have lots of amazing episodes on the docket this week. Of course, we're here today to talk all random things. Truly, it's a hodgepodge kind of episode. Tomorrow's Bravo Happy Hour. We have some food news coming in on Thursday. And then we have Sheena Shea's book Recap with Olivia on Friday. What a gorgeous way to end the week. Let's just jump right into what's going on.
1:13.0	Okay, again, I keep making mistakes. And in a past life, I would have fixed those mistakes,
1:19.8	re-recorded things, and really have done my due diligence. But instead, I'm just owning up to it.
1:26.1	Evidently, I didn't know Alison Stoner, the child
1:29.7	star I was talking about last week, goes by they them. So I was mispronounting them. So sorry about that.
1:37.5	And also, I had no idea that Megan Stalter had the last name Stalter and not Statt. So shout out to Yaspers for calling me out on that.
1:47.9	If there's anybody listening in the stratosphere, he is the one to tell me a random thing is incorrect.
1:54.4	And we need people like that in our lives.
1:56.5	Last but not least, this was my favorite that came out yesterday.
1:59.7	We were talking about Jesse Lolley's new girlfriend on The Valley, and I kept calling her Lainey, but her name is Lacey.
2:08.3	And so even though I was saying Lainey Lolley, if they ended up moving forward with a marriage,
2:12.7	Lacey Lollie is also kind of chic and clever and cute. So it kind of works too. But just, you know,
2:20.0	cleaning up some messes that I've made. I'm a sloppy podcaster and, you know, I'm doing the
2:24.7	best I can. Five days a week, that means you're going to get a few fuckups. And great chance that
2:31.4	there will be a few fuckups in this episode. I don't know if you guys heard
