Intrusive Thoughts by Adam Rippon

Adam is recording at 7 a.m., which is already a crime against his body, his voice, and his general sense of self. He has a flight in a few hours, has not packed, needs to prep ten dog meals, and is using the podcast as a public packing checklist. He gets into traveling with JP, Memorial Day ruining his concept of time, the dogs’ very different daycare vibes, his sister’s wedding in the mid-Atlantic state of Pennsylvania, and whether he has what it takes to become a balloon arch artist.

Adam is recording from a hotel bed in Colorado Springs, which is apparently his new safe space. He gets into travel delusion, the emotional downgrade of flying economy, why rental cars are the only way to survive a work trip, and the very serious airport crisis of not being able to find a Hudson News. There’s also a full health reset happening, which somehow includes McDonald’s, strawberry milk, frosted animal cookies, and a gallon of water. Plus, Adam has thoughts on graduation speakers pushing AI, cowboy boots, Colorado grocery stores, and why his med spa opening might need more Google reviews.

Adam is back with a brand-new MacBook Pro, a Monet-themed tech setup, and one suspicious neighbor. He gets into his giant “mother-sized” laptop, Tony’s loud personal grooming, his Goop Kitchen feud, the Arcadia mayor spy scandal, and a Bar Mitzvah-looking Eventbrite invite. Plus, listener messages about dead laptops, dead cats, ADHD meds, and Sex and the City.

Adam records this week’s episode straight from an ancient iPad after his laptop suddenly died mid-workday, sending him into a full breakdown about technology, Tim Cook, and the emotional betrayal of a MacBook Air. In between mourning the computer, he gives his extremely passionate Met Gala takes, talks AI ruining red carpet discourse, explains why Emma Chamberlain was the best dressed of the night, defends the “jeans” look everyone hated, and somehow ends up ranting about his new nurse practitioner taking Zoom appointments while driving and chewing gum.

It’s Adam after dark. Recording while the house is asleep, he jumps from Lena Dunham’s new book and being late to every cultural moment, to BlackBerry nostalgia and T9 texting, before the night takes a turn when he finally tries Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Kitchen and realizes he may have just paid $25 for a pre-packaged salad.
