Intrusive Thoughts by Adam Rippon

Adam is fired up—and he’s not easing into it. This week, he speaks from the heart about what’s been unfolding in Minnesota, why it scares him, and why staying quiet starts to feel like the whole point. In between deep breaths (and a truly cursed piece of air-fried Tyson chicken), he answers listener texts—yes, including the one about his time on Worst Cooks in America and whether Chef Jeff is hot in person. And with the Olympics in Italy on the horizon, Adam wrestles with what it means to rep Team USA when the country feels anything but united.

Adam’s back with another midnight episode, running on pure Milan-prep energy and questionable sleep decisions. With the Olympics looming, he’s deep in edits, research, and NBC to-dos—plus a near heart attack caused by an external hard drive that did not want to be unplugged. He also previews Netflix’s upcoming figure skating doc Glitter & Gold, where he appears as commentator, narrator, and occasional chaos agent. Add in a thoughtful Olympics voicemail and a LazyTown Stingy comparison that Adam may never emotionally recover from.

Adam is back in full disarray—undone, unorganized, and powering through on pure Olympic spirit. Fresh off of covering the U.S. Figure Skating Championships ahead of the Olympic team announcement, he debriefs the whirlwind: LA28 hype at the Coliseum, athlete meet-ups, and why the next few weeks are about to get very Olympics-heavy. Along the way there’s a “missing” driver’s license that was actually in a “safe” coat pocket, a love-hate review of flying out of Burbank (carpet, low ceilings, zero lounge fantasy), and the loafer choice that left his feet paying the price.

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.

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.
