Intrusive Thoughts by Adam Rippon

Adam finally opens the folder he’s been teasing and immediately goes off track. He talks about falling for skincare propaganda, shares his thoughts on Nara Smith and her unforgettable baby names, and vents about a package that was marked delivered but never showed up. He also plays a listener voicemail with slipper recommendations, gives an update on his search for the perfect house shoe, and ends with a look at his vision board and what he’s putting out into the universe.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy New Year — Adam kicks off 2026 feeling grateful, optimistic, and ready for what’s ahead. He talks about leaving 2025 with gratitude, stepping into the new year with intention, and why this one already feels different. Along the way, he shares his very real $4 lottery “win,” his ongoing hunt for the perfect house slipper, and his thoughts on Heated Rivalry, a show he genuinely couldn’t recommend more. It’s a hopeful, lively start to 2026, with optimism fully turned on.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.
