Summary

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. 💋

0:16.1	Welcome to I Know You Didn't Ask, the unapologetic, unfiltered, and slightly unhinged podcast you didn't know you needed.
0:22.8	I'm your host, Megan O'Donnell, pop culture obsessive, professional oversharer, and the host of your new fix for celebrity gossip, reality TV chaos, books, food news, beauty tips, and of course, navigating your life in your 30s.
0:36.0	I know you didn't ask, but I'm telling you
0:37.8	anyways. Sit back, grab a drink, and enjoy the show. Welcome to I Know You Didn't Ask. I'm your host
0:42.8	Megan O'Donnell and I appreciate you guys all sticking around while I was on set last week. And we're a day
0:49.1	late here, but you know what? I had to do a little bit of a wrap out yesterday. So today I am back, baby. And you know what? It is fun when you go back to your old stomping grounds. You know, it was an exhausting project, four days on set, you know, four, 15 hour days in a row, waking up at four in the morning, driving to the city, working for 12 hours, then driving home.
1:11.3	It takes a lot out of you, but it was honestly kind of nice to feel good about, like, working
1:19.2	and not feeling like a total imposter, which imposter syndrome is so real.
1:25.6	And I feel it both in production when I work on those types of gigs
1:29.4	as well as just podcasting in general. So it felt really good to do a good job and to feel proud of
1:36.8	myself. I mean, there's clearly a lot going on in this world, which is obviously why I'm starting
1:42.9	with kindness to myself.
1:47.2	Viewing my actions without judgment is what I've been working on in therapy.
1:53.4	Shout out to therapy. If you can swing it, absolutely do it. And I got to say, I don't even go to
1:58.4	like a doctor therapist. Like I'm going to someone who calls themselves a life coach. And she got to say, I don't even go to like a doctor therapist. Like, I'm going to someone who calls
2:01.1	himself a life coach. And she's doing wonders on my life, but I probably should be paying her
2:08.8	less, given the lack of credentials. But that's something for 2026 for me to unpack. I will say
2:15.4	one thing in life that keeps me stable, keeps me humble, is prepping and
