Summary
The holidays got me sick, bored, and mildly unhinged — so obviously I pressed record. Pardon the congested voice, but we’re powering through. This episode is a full holiday brain dump: Christmas chaos with the Kardashians, a little celebrity death discourse, and a deep dive into what the hell I’m watching while everyone else enjoys “prestige TV.”
We’re talking The Family Stone (SJP’s gloriously unlikable energy, Luke Wilson supremacy, and why the Wilson brothers are Hollywood’s hottest siblings), Bridgette Bardot’s complicated legacy (iconic beauty, French New Wave impact… and yes, the racism), and how we’re supposed to reconcile art with deeply disappointing politics.
Plus: Kim Kardashian’s unhinged Christmas gifts, puppies as presents (a hard no), Alabama Barker’s wildly inappropriate haul, baby daddies getting snubbed on gingerbread houses, and why Nicola & Brooklyn are officially my newest hyperfixation.
Then it’s onto my current watch list — from cult documentaries and Mormon scandals to Selling OC, Emily in Paris, Scientology chaos, homoerotic hockey romance (don’t ask), and why I keep rewatching things I’ve already seen instead of literally anything new.
Congested, caffeinated, opinionated, and very much in holiday break mode — let’s get into it. 🎄🎧

| 0:36.0 | I know you didn't ask, but I'm telling you anyways. Sit back, grab a drink, and enjoy the show. Welcome to I Know You Didn't Ask. I'm your host, Megan O'Donnell. And bear with me today. I got a little bit of a cold. I'm a little stuffed up. It is Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, the last day of the year, caught a little bug a couple days ago. Thankfully, |
| 0:56.1 | not too bad, but a bug nonetheless. And if you know me, you know I've been just engaging in |
| 1:02.1 | content at a rapid warp speed, watching old documentaries that I've seen four to five times at this |
| 1:09.7 | point, leaning into cults at this time of year, |
| 1:13.2 | and I feel like I'm leaning into these cult documentaries simply because I want to go into a world |
| 1:19.3 | where I don't really need to think. I have a man thinking for me, telling me what I'm eating, |
| 1:25.1 | what I'm doing. I want to be controlled. And not in a real |
| 1:30.6 | way. Like, obviously, I'm like my own personal control freak and I like to, you know, do whatever I |
| 1:35.0 | want. I actually hate when people control me. But in theory, joining a cult sounds really nice. |
| 1:39.7 | I don't want to be branded. That is something I'm not interested in being. But I am looking to like be |
| 1:46.8 | kind of encouraged to get skinny by a cult. Like they all like want to be skinny together. And it's like |
| 1:52.0 | a group thing we could do. You know, like in nexium, we could be playing volleyball together. Like I |
| 1:57.7 | feel like there are some pros. So we'll get into what I'm watching a little bit |
| 2:01.6 | later. But of course, it's the Christmas season. We're going to talk a lot about, you know, |
| 2:06.9 | some Christmas magic that came across my desk the past week. But I just have to say, you know, |
| 2:12.6 | I was watching the Family Stone, a great Christmas flick. And of course, Sarah Jessica Parker is the |
