I Know You Didn't Ask with Megan O'Donnell

MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMALS! Here's another re-release of a great recent episode. Tune in on Monday when the holiday hangover ends ;) This week, we dive headfirst into Scheana Shay’s brand-new book My Good Side—and trust me, it’s giving us everything we hoped for and more. From behind-the-scenes Vanderpump Rules tea to Scheana’s raw reflections on fame, love, and finding her voice, we break it all down chapter by chapter. Was it juicy? Was it messy? Did we get answers to the questions we’ve been screaming at the TV for years? Tune in for the ultimate recap, plus our unfiltered takes on what Scheana left in, what she left out, and what it all says about life in the Bravo-verse.

MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMALS! I'm lazy & haven't been recording, so here's a re-release of one my BEST SHOWS EVER. This Friday's Episode, we’re diving headfirst into the absolute fever dream that is the NYC Crypto Kidnappers case—a tale of SoHo nightlife, Bitcoin passwords, and enough alleged torture to make a Tarantino script blush. Picture this: crypto bros John Woeltz (self-appointed “Crypto King of Kentucky”) and William Duplessie allegedly lure an Italian man to their $15 million townhouse, then hold him for 17 days, shocking him with a Taser, dousing him in tequila, and even dangling him from a staircase until he coughed up his Bitcoin passwords. The victim eventually escapes barefoot and bloodied into the street… which is where things should have ended—except the defense is now claiming it was all one big consensual drug-fueled “frat party” gone wrong. Oh, and making a cameo in this circus? None other than Charlie Zakkour from Next Gen NYC—yes, spotted in footage of John’s arrest, just hanging around like it’s a Tuesday.We’ll unpack every unhinged twist: the million-dollar bail, the bizarre “manifesto” found in Kentucky, the defense’s wild party-story spin, and the sheer absurdity of how fast crypto cash can turn your penthouse into a true crime set piece. From the Soho club scene to the courtroom drama, this story is part Wolf of Wall Street, part Saw, and 100% a cautionary tale about what happens when the blockchain bros go feral. Buckle up—this isn’t just a kidnapping case, it’s a masterclass in how to completely torch your reputation (and allegedly, other people).

We break down Pete Davidson becoming a dad, Bowen Yang leaving, and the wild Priscilla Presley, Riley Keough, John Travolta, and Scientology lawsuit allegations. Plus, the ongoing Beckham family feud, John Stamos teasing nudity on The Hunting Wives, Netflix taking over podcasts and media, and a serious update on the Rob Reiner case. Pop culture chaos, cults, celebrity drama, and hot takes — let’s get into it.

With Love Meghan, Season 2 Episode Recap! I’m recapping the With Love, Megan Holiday Special — the moments that had me obsessed, confused, emotional, and fully spiraling. From festive chaos to the scenes everyone’s talking about, this is my unfiltered take on what worked, what didn’t, and why we can’t stop watching the DUCHESS in action.

This episode is my official post-mortem on my Holiday Dip Party — inspired by the hilarious comedian Zack Noe Towers — where friends gathered for what can only be described as a sacred communal experience. I’m memorializing everything: the data, the guest list, who brought what, which dips shocked us, which flopped, what I’d never do again, and what absolutely needs to be repeated. We’re talking full dip DATA — sweet vs savory strategy, ideal dipping vessels, and the unspoken politics of duplicate Buffalo chicken dips.I break down the winners and losers (yes, both exist), hosting tips I swear by, accoutrements that carried the night (hello Frito Scoops), my biggest regret of the evening (I forgot the strawberries — please forgive me), and why parties like this matter more than ever. Plus: leftover regrets, stomach pain confessions, and quotes from guests that honestly made me emotional. Hosting should look easy — even if you’ve been spiraling for a week beforehand — and this episode is proof that bringing people together is still one of life’s greatest flexes.

This week’s episode is a true slice-of-life moment: I’m fresh off set (exhausted, delirious, but reminded that I’m actually good at my job—don’t let imposter syndrome bully you, babes), and somehow managed to prep and finalize this entire episode from the Schumacher Clifton Chevy customer lounge. There’s something deeply grounding about their cheap coffee, fluorescent lighting, and a guaranteed airing of The Sherri Shepherd Show. Add in the heartbreak of a devastating shooting at Brown University, targeted antisemitic attacks in Bondi Beach (a fabulous place, unfortunately), and a heartfelt start to Hanukkah—and yes, I will always find a way to humble-brag even in the face of tragedy.From there, we dive into a truly disturbing Hollywood story: the shocking deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, the arrest of their son Nick, and a broader conversation about parricide—what it represents, why it happens, and the unbearable emotional toll it takes on families. Then we pivot (hard) into Divorce-ville with Braunwyn and Todd, unpack Amy Schumer’s ongoing contradictions and fall from comedic grace, clock the Baldwins potentially fleeing NYC for New Jersey, obsess over Owning New York’s unhinged season-two cliffhanger, and side-eye The CEO Club—a glossy look at female power that may or may not be inspiring depending on how you feel about starting life on third base. It’s dark, funny, uncomfortable, and very me. As always, thank you for sticking with your girl—follows, subscriptions, and general emotional support are deeply appreciated. 💋

LOTS OF TOPICS TODAY BABES! We’re breaking down Owning Manhattan and the delusion of $7M two-bedrooms, revisiting Mad Men like it’s a warm, whiskey-soaked blanket, and unpacking why I would, in fact, ruin my life for the Grinch. We’re reading our Spotify Wrapped like a psychological profile, judging Pantone for choosing pure white (Cloud Dancer) as the 2026 vibe, diving headfirst into the dark, explosive Diddy doc, and questioning what the actual future of Hollywood looks like now that Netflix just bought Warner Bros. There’s also a moment for The Devil Wears Prada sequel teaser — Miranda Priestly supremacy remains — and yes, Miley Cyrus is engaged and thriving while the rest of us wonder how everyone has half-million-dollar ring budgets.

This week, we’re diving deep into Netflix’s documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish — a jaw-dropping story of fake identities, digital manipulation, and a teenage puppet master who pulled strings like it was their full-time job.We’re breaking down how one sick person catfished two 13 year olds, why it spiraled out of control, and what this says about the depths of the people's mental illness, the internet, and the blurry line between reality and online persona.Expect drama. Expect chaos. Expect moments where you yell how is this even real?!Grab your headphones — we’re unpacking every messy layer. This one is NOT for your kids to hear - warning in advance ;)

This week on I Know You Didn’t Ask, we’re coming in hot after Thanksgiving with fresh pop-culture chaos, Bravo TV updates, and a deep dive into the drama everyone’s talking about. I’m catching you up on my new headshots (yes, I look adorable—follow on TikTok immediately because apparently I need 1k followers just to put a damn link in my bio), what I’m reading, and why Diane von Furstenberg’s memoir has me spiraling into history documentaries. Then we get into the wild corporate meltdown at Campbell’s Soup, where a senior exec was fired after a leaked recording full of classist and racist comments—plus the internet’s horror over alleged “3D-printed chicken.” I break down everything from the company’s response to why Florida of all places suddenly decided to investigate Campbell’s products.We’re also unpacking the internet-melting announcement that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez will be the lead sponsors of the 2026 Met Gala, what the new “Costume Art” theme actually means, and why people feel like billionaires are quietly buying our cultural institutions one gala at a time. From Kim Kardashian’s controversial elephant-skin Birkin to the latest renewals, cancellations, and casting updates across Netflix, Bravo, and beyond, this episode covers it all—Love Is Blind updates, Lena Dunham’s Too Much, Eddie Murphy’s new doc, Righteous Gemstones feels, and the latest Real Housewives mess. If you love fashion drama, corporate chaos, and Bravo-fueled nonsense, this episode is packed with everything your pop-culture-obsessed heart needs.
