Intrusive Thoughts by Adam Rippon

Adam is fully invested in Love Island and has thoughts. Lots of thoughts. He breaks down the current season, the contestants he’s rooting for, the couples he doesn’t trust, and why reality TV emotions move at warp speed. Plus, he’s heading to Boston to see Rosalía, recaps the grand opening of the medical spa, and may have accidentally convinced himself to become the official guinea pig for every treatment they offer. Also, a surprisingly passionate discussion about Invisalign, reality TV dating, and why Love Island might be the most over the top social experiment on television.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 from his sister’s wedding with stories, questions, and absolutely no explanation for how a simple weekend trip became so complicated. Between travel delays, questionable customer service, dog boarding guilt, and a few unexpected wins along the way, things rarely went according to plan. Plus, Love Island is back, the medical spa had its official ribbon cutting, and Adam is still trying to figure out whether some people are being rude or just speaking the local language.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.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 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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam records this week’s episode from the med spa office and gets into the only things worth discussing right now: The Devil Wears Prada 2 red carpet, Anne Hathaway looking better than ever, the Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle drama, and his ongoing one-sided feud with Equinox. Along the way he talks cursed branding, peacocks roaming Arcadia, why labels are tacky, why he proudly carries a purse, and the very real excitement of getting his jewelry back early.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam is recording from a literal treatment room as his med spa officially opens for bookings, which means he’s fully in soft launch mode and doing whatever it takes to get people in the door. That includes a very real plan to personally walk into local businesses and pitch them like it’s his full-time job. He also recaps an Atlanta trip that somehow ended with him getting paid to fly, a brutal chemical peel experience mid-travel, and his current attempt to become a workout class person again, whether he likes it or not. It’s business updates, travel pandemonium, and Adam fully in his “I have a plan… kind of” era.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
