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.

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.
In this episode Adam talks about why he's been away for a few weeks. He floats the idea of sending Gayle King into space more often and talk about how Donder Costello is his favorite Sim.
