I Know You Didn't Ask with Megan O'Donnell
Kristi Noem’s Husband & Bimbos, Artemis II Menu & Updates, Aubrey Plaza Is Pregnant, Kris Jenner Takes China, & More!
This week’s episode is a chaotic mix of “nothing happened” and somehow everything happened.
We kick things off in the Bravo-verse, where we’re all still emotionally recovering from the Amanda Batula / West / Ciara situation (can someone please coin a less aggressive name for this??). Meanwhile, the world itself is… a lot—wars, ceasefires, and the kind of headlines that make you want to throw your phone across the room. Naturally, we process it the only way we know how: with sarcasm, side-eyes, and a few well-placed rants.
From there, we pivot (hard) into some “lighter” chaos—touching on politics in a way that’s more WTF are these people doing than anything remotely serious. Yes, we can listen to people we don’t agree with… but also, let’s not pretend some of these headlines aren’t absolutely unhinged.
Then: a little love life update that has the internet spiraling. We’re talking Aubrey Plaza and Chris Abbott, grief, moving on, and why Reddit might need to collectively log off. Spoiler: I’m happy for her!!!
In international news you did NOT see coming—Kris Jenner is apparently an icon of manifestation in China?? We break down the bizarre (and honestly iconic) meme trend that has people using her face as a digital good-luck charm. If my profile pic suddenly becomes Kris in a robe eating ramen in Machu Picchu… just know things are not going well for me.
And in a rare moment of sincerity, we get into something that actually made me emotional: space, innovation, and the insanity that is the Artemis II mission. Like… how are humans just casually going to the moon again?? We also spiral into Apollo 11, iconic history moments, and why I would absolutely be the most annoying astronaut of all time.
Finally, we wrap with one of the most bizarre political-adjacent scandals I’ve covered in a minute—Kristi Noem, her husband, and a story that truly has everything: hypocrisy, chaos, and the kind of details that make you question reality.
It’s unhinged, it’s a little emotional, it’s very “what is going on,” and it’s exactly the kind of episode you need right now.

There’s also a detour into Leaving Neverland mysteriously disappearing, horrifying true crime reenactment animations, MyFitnessPal publicly humiliating me, and why Coach Kelly screaming at me from DCC might honestly be the only thing capable of fixing my life right now.
