Merry Christmas! — Adam is recording after dark (library voice, Christmas tree behind him) because taking podcast breaks during the holidays should be illegal. He gets into why artificial trees are superior, his Balsam Hill dreams, what it means that Spotify says his listening age is 83, why Santa deserves a real snack, why work gift-giving is awkward, and why New Year’s Eve never quite lives up to the hype.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam is whisper-recording Intrusive Thoughts at 10:42 p.m.—headphones cranked like it’s a private ASMR concert. From a late-night spiral into YouTube beauty-drama lore (Goodbye Sister! No More Lies!) to the highly specific struggle of opening candy canes without creating peppermint dust chaos, it’s fun, confessional, and weirdly soothing. Plus: pickles as a snack, laser Christmas light opinions, and Adam’s call for your best holiday intrusive thoughts—because the Christmas + New Year episodes are coming.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam is officially crowned the ultimate Dancing with the Stars champion (by a caller, but still counts), which sends him into skating lore, Jenna memories, and why “Skating With the Stars” was pure off-ice chaos. Between Tony the dog, blue-mouth candy canes, an accidental AT&T landline in 2025, and IKEA chicken tender sauce math, he somehow ends up begging listeners to send in their most unhinged holiday intrusive thoughts—because this podcast is not taking a festive hiatus.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam gives a quick rundown of his very off-brand Thanksgiving (minimal cooking, maximum mental break), but the highlight is his ongoing standoff with a certain bargain-bin retailer that keeps trying to book him. Every time they DM, he raises the price—“rates have gone up”—and he fully warns listeners: if you ever see him posing with questionable plastic goods, just know the check was life-altering. He touches on billionaires, lightly roasts Phil Rosenthal’s dad-joke stamina, and ends with some heartfelt gratitude and a call for everyone’s personal “sellout number.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam’s back with an epic travel spiral: flying into New York, road-tripping to Lake Placid, panic-buying Blundstone boots at an L.L. Bean, and running into the town’s unofficial mayor at every restaurant. He skates on the historic 1932 Olympic rink, dives into the chaotic legacy of Sonja Henie, survives peak cottage-core overload, and returns to NYC just in time to see Oh, Mary! with Jane Krakowski… and decide he’s destined to play Mary Todd Lincoln on Broadway. Plus: a French Riviera dress code gone circus, dogs calling him Short Papa, and a birthday spent in the sky.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s late, Adam’s flight is in a few hours, and instead of packing—he’s recording this very special birthday episode. Between using an iron as a desk and sipping cherry limeade “water” strong enough to strip paint, he reflects on turning 36, being born on 11/11 (yes, same day as Leonardo DiCaprio and Carson Kressley), and the time he became too famous to skate. When a listener voicemail asks about his viral “Diamonds” performance, Adam finally tells the full story—how one chaotic idea in Japan turned into him singing to a sold-out arena instead of competing. He wraps things up with a mini ADHD confession, a questionable cologne hack, and one final sip before sprinting to the airport.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam’s recording from his soon-to-open medical spa — where polishing one brass handle turned into a two-hour spiritual journey. He looks back on the time Michelle Obama used him as a human shield while Nina Dobrev tried to pitch her a TV show, and the moment he realized he should’ve pitched something too… if he hadn’t been terrified she’d ask what college he went to. There’s also Janet Jackson, a confused meet-and-greet, and one truly unhinged Michigan car accident involving a DSW sale and a faulty gas pedal.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam’s juggling two big projects this week — painting his soon-to-open medical spa by hand (regrets, obviously) and getting ready for the Team USA Media Summit in New York. Between discovering the true cost of paint quotes and realizing he might be a little more “type B” than he thought, he’s questioning everything he knows about organization. Later, he answers a listener voicemail about living alone — with unsolicited advice that somehow ends in baby powder talk — and helps another texter get over her crush on an engaged coworker.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam’s painting his new med-spa and losing his mind in the process — gallons of paint, ruined floors, and one too many Home Depot runs. He answers a listener text from a mom whose son just came out, offers real advice, and confesses a new Red Bull addiction. Then it’s tooth trauma from a bad lollipop experiment and brutally honest thoughts on Taylor Swift’s Life of a Show Girl. It’s classic Adam: overworked, overtired, and oversharing in the best way.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam sits down with comedian and longtime friend Michelle Collins for a conversation that feels like catching up over overpriced airport wine. They kick things off with the controversy over the Riyadh Comedy Festival, dive deep into their disastrous experiences with The RealReal, and somehow end up comparing airline snack horror stories and Love Is Blind’s “Sparkle Megan.” Michelle also reveals the uncomfortable truth about recording in a one-piece bodysuit that’s absolutely trying to kill her.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week Adam sits down with Los Angeles dietitian Kim Shapira to unpack her refreshingly simple approach to food, feelings, and why self-control isn’t the flex we think it is. They dig into athlete brain versus real-life eating, how “saving calories” backfires, and why gum is the silent bloater of the wellness world. Kim breaks down her six-step method, from eat-half-and-wait-15 to the art of tuning in before chewing. They also cover GLP-1s, the metabolism as a stovetop theory, and why most of us are actually hungry for peace, not snacks. Plus, Adam confesses his kefir era and Kim explains how to tell if your favorite foods actually love you back.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week Adam kicks things off by publicly begging Royal Caribbean to stop spamming his inbox, then dives into cruise life and why every restaurant on board tastes suspiciously the same. He breaks down Hoda Kotb’s chaotic Instagram packing video, rants about upside-down AirPods, and wonders if Bitcoin and NFTs were just very expensive jokes. There’s also a voicemail that definitely wasn’t meant for him but somehow works perfectly, plus a listener text about birthday dinner anxiety.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week Adam starts with something a little heavier than his usual microwave updates: Christian nationalism. In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death, he unpacks why hate dressed up as religion is still just hate. Then things lighten up—Keurig coffee gets exposed for the garbage water it is, Nespresso pods get their moment, and Adam finally reveals his holy-grail sneakers (spoiler: not the clown shoes he once fell for). He also shares his late-to-the-game driving lessons, teases the medical spa he’s building, and admits that sometimes you just have to launch messy instead of waiting for perfect.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam sits down with Jon Lovett (Crooked Media co-founder, former Obama/Hillary speechwriter… and yes, Survivor 47’s first boot) for a refreshing honest catch-up. Jon explains why a midlife-crisis-on-purpose pushed him to apply, what Jeff Probst told him on Zoom, and how a teammate’s meltdown sent him packing. They get into the Obama “no ketchup after age 8” controversy (and Jon’s surprisingly deep ketchup-vs-mustard life lesson), what being a presidential speechwriter actually looks like under deadline, and how Pod Save America/Crooked grew into a home for pro-democracy politics. Also on the table: the thrill/terror of sushi firsts, iPhone “upgrades,” and why political honesty beats performative unity every time.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam’s back with a fresh mullet, zero perms, and plenty of intrusive thoughts. He starts with curly-hair upkeep (thanks, Tracee Ellis Ross) before getting into the saga of a fake Adam Rippon TikTok account that he’s oddly fine with—free admin work, right? From there, it’s a mix of real estate rants, London’s drafty windows, and why Cracker Barrel’s “woke” logo drama says more about capitalism than pancakes. Listeners send in texts and voicemails about everything from noisy babies to skincare hacks to reconnecting with old friends who still see you as the “gay bestie.” By the end, Adam’s 18 pounds lighter, living on yogurt and salads, and still finding new ways to roast his imaginary haters.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam’s back from Finland, officially free of Equinox, and full of jet lagged intrusive thoughts. He clears up the infamous “nipple to knee” drug test story, explains why Finnish candy keeps putting him in the papers, and laughs about how his podcast background keeps getting uglier Plus, listener texts spark debates about notebooks, stickers, and pistachio hacks—while Adam spirals on Taylor & Travis, bullying himself out of bad purchases, and why exhaustion might actually cure jet lag.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fresh off an 11-hour flight with zero sleep, Adam records his first Intrusive Thoughts episode abroad—from a cottage in Finland. Running on pure delusion (and pear martini memories), he tackles listener dilemmas ranging from airplane reclining etiquette to nightmare neighbors who want to sue over toddler footsteps. Adam shares why noise complaints against kids are absurd, dishes out some savage HOA hot takes, and spirals about the first time he ever saw someone litter. Plus, we get an update on his reading glasses hunt, a voicemail about discount-store finds, and the behind-the-scenes story of why the podcast rebrand finally made sense.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam’s DIY era is here: goodbye tacky microwave, hello self-installed range hood and a custom steel backsplash. Along the way, he gets sidetracked by water bottles, butterflies, and closet purgatory—but also dives into listener questions about judgment, clutter, and relationships that don’t go as planned. It’s messy, heartfelt, and very Adam.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam is joined by friend and superstar singer-songwriter Betty Who — as they dive into her evolution as an artist, her confidence, and fully embracing who she is. They swap short-lived reality TV experiences, plot Betty’s inevitable Great British Bake Off debut, and share chaos from Adam’s Mars reality show before Betty tells an iconic tour bus story involving Jennifer Lopez. From career highs to the very real fear of bad tattoos — and yes, plenty of talk about their shared love of dogs (and mutual dislike of dog parks) — it’s an hour of friendship, laughs, and unfiltered honesty.See Betty Who with the LA Phil on August 30, 2025, at The Ford. Tickets available at www.theford.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Description: One man. One microwave. Zero adult supervision. With JP out of town, Adam goes full chaos: removing the kitchen microwave solo, hiding the toaster in a closet, and nearly signing the lease on his new med spa (plumbing included, thanks to Bob the 80-year-old real estate king). Listener texts and voicemails deliver everything from pistachio meltdowns to parking lot disasters, and Adam has strong feelings about floss, phone calls in public restrooms, and sock slippage. Text or call 310-909-7117 to share your own intrusive thoughts. He’s listening. And judging. But mostly listening.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam is flying solo this week and fully in his Intrusive Thoughts groove. He starts by reacting to the shocking news that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is ending (with a little side-eye toward Jimmy Fallon), then launches into a tale of cracked sinks, failed DIY “sink art,” and the surprisingly perfect space he just found for his new medical spa—thanks to a very shady “massage business.” But the best part? Adam ends the episode with an absolutely outrageous story about his final Olympic drug test, complete with “nipple-to-knee” rules, a full bladder, and a bathroom emergency that turned into the most humiliating goodbye imaginable.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam is home alone and unhinged—in the best way. With his husband off in Finland, Adam bleaches his teeth into oblivion, deep-cleans every drawer in sight, and questions the rise of robot food couriers (Coco, the mini-fridge on wheels, is officially on his list). He dishes advice to a caller with a parking problem, reflects on winning 'Stars on Mars' by out-strategizing Marshawn Lynch, and wonders if AI is ready for LA traffic (spoiler: it’s not). See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever been personally victimized by a protein parfait on TikTok? Same. Adam takes us on a full-body rant about the lies of “100g protein hacks,” apparently everyones drinking Ballerina Farms, and why cheeseburger soup should probably be illegal. He opens up about his health journey (farewell, Coke Zero bloat), drops a life-changing Ninja Creami ice cream recipe made in the bathroom, and somehow ends up defending moms with crying babies and dragging slow walkers in one breath. Please hold your eye rolls until the end. Call Adam and leave a message at 310-909-7117!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam is back with big feelings, gym grudges, and a dream of a Love Island-themed home gym (strict 20-hour max). He unpacks his overpriced Equinox membership, his “baby doll body” skating days, and the oddly specific photo goal driving his workouts.He also shares the sweet story of how he and his husband proposed at the same time—no surprises, just synchronized rings—and answers a listener's question about proposal anxiety. Plus, reflections on life after the Olympics, cardio tears, and why loud grunting at the gym should be a crime.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Adam unpacks—literally—a suitcase disaster where baby powder exploded and covered everything he owns, including his toothbrush (RIP). That spirals into a full breakdown of his intense shower routine, his love for scent layering, and his personal mission to smell amazing at all times. He also opens up about his worst internet moments, like when Swifties came after him with clown emojis and something else he truly wishes he could unsee (it’s... not safe for lunch). Plus, the time Drag Race fans turned on him over a live event gone wrong. Through it all, Adam shares some real advice about posting online, dealing with haters, and why sometimes you just need to powder your problems and move on.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Adam kicks things off with a Pride Month shoutout from Cartier, who celebrated by selling his personal info and addressing him as Ms. Rippon. Naturally. From there, things somehow escalate into a pre-sunrise coyote standoff that ends with Adam yelling some very creative insults in the middle of Pasadena. He also shares how his mom accidentally gaslit Patti LuPone on a plane—yes, really—and wraps it all up by answering your voicemails, including one about how to stage a comeback when your only motivation is a pair of unflattering orange sweatpants. It's a full circle kind of episode. Miss Rippon approves.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Once a sky-high Delta Diamond elite, now waiting for Zone 6 with a grease-soaked Jersey Mike's sub, Adam Rippon spirals through the five stages of airline status grief in this episode of Intrusive Thoughts. Adam breaks down the emotional trauma of falling from Delta Diamond royalty to basic SkyMiles peasant, reveals his foolproof (and slightly illegal) trick to avoid baggage fees, and responds to listener voicemails about his questionable Oscars fashion moment and that time he dumped someone for thinking Paris was in Manhattan. Between mourning his lost airline status and plotting a head-to-toe hunter green fashion reinvention, Adam proves that intrusive thoughts are best served with a side of Jersey Mike’s at 4:45 a.m.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam Rippon is now—brace yourselves—an Emmy winner—and no, he won’t be humble about it. From the Olympic sidelines (well, Stamford, Connecticut), to the Sports Emmy winners list which includes Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart, Adam tells the story of how he won an Emmy without knowing he was nominated. He also shares the most dangerously delicious pear martini recipe ever, gives wildly honest advice on party etiquette involving exes, and helps a listener named Helia navigate life with a name that’s literally spelled “hell yeah.” Come for the validation, stay for the vodka.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
