Adam’s back with an epic travel spiral: flying into New York, road-tripping to Lake Placid, panic-buying Blundstone boots at an L.L. Bean, and running into the town’s unofficial mayor at every restaurant. He skates on the historic 1932 Olympic rink, dives into the chaotic legacy of Sonja Henie, survives peak cottage-core overload, and returns to NYC just in time to see Oh, Mary! with Jane Krakowski… and decide he’s destined to play Mary Todd Lincoln on Broadway. Plus: a French Riviera dress code gone circus, dogs calling him Short Papa, and a birthday spent in the sky.

It’s late, Adam’s flight is in a few hours, and instead of packing—he’s recording this very special birthday episode. Between using an iron as a desk and sipping cherry limeade “water” strong enough to strip paint, he reflects on turning 36, being born on 11/11 (yes, same day as Leonardo DiCaprio and Carson Kressley), and the time he became too famous to skate. When a listener voicemail asks about his viral “Diamonds” performance, Adam finally tells the full story—how one chaotic idea in Japan turned into him singing to a sold-out arena instead of competing. He wraps things up with a mini ADHD confession, a questionable cologne hack, and one final sip before sprinting to the airport.

Adam’s recording from his soon-to-open medical spa — where polishing one brass handle turned into a two-hour spiritual journey. He looks back on the time Michelle Obama used him as a human shield while Nina Dobrev tried to pitch her a TV show, and the moment he realized he should’ve pitched something too… if he hadn’t been terrified she’d ask what college he went to. There’s also Janet Jackson, a confused meet-and-greet, and one truly unhinged Michigan car accident involving a DSW sale and a faulty gas pedal.

Adam’s juggling two big projects this week — painting his soon-to-open medical spa by hand (regrets, obviously) and getting ready for the Team USA Media Summit in New York. Between discovering the true cost of paint quotes and realizing he might be a little more “type B” than he thought, he’s questioning everything he knows about organization. Later, he answers a listener voicemail about living alone — with unsolicited advice that somehow ends in baby powder talk — and helps another texter get over her crush on an engaged coworker.

Adam’s painting his new med-spa and losing his mind in the process — gallons of paint, ruined floors, and one too many Home Depot runs. He answers a listener text from a mom whose son just came out, offers real advice, and confesses a new Red Bull addiction. Then it’s tooth trauma from a bad lollipop experiment and brutally honest thoughts on Taylor Swift’s Life of a Show Girl. It’s classic Adam: overworked, overtired, and oversharing in the best way.

Adam sits down with comedian and longtime friend Michelle Collins for a conversation that feels like catching up over overpriced airport wine. They kick things off with the controversy over the Riyadh Comedy Festival, dive deep into their disastrous experiences with The RealReal, and somehow end up comparing airline snack horror stories and Love Is Blind’s “Sparkle Megan.” Michelle also reveals the uncomfortable truth about recording in a one-piece bodysuit that’s absolutely trying to kill her.

This week Adam sits down with Los Angeles dietitian Kim Shapira to unpack her refreshingly simple approach to food, feelings, and why self-control isn’t the flex we think it is. They dig into athlete brain versus real-life eating, how “saving calories” backfires, and why gum is the silent bloater of the wellness world. Kim breaks down her six-step method, from eat-half-and-wait-15 to the art of tuning in before chewing. They also cover GLP-1s, the metabolism as a stovetop theory, and why most of us are actually hungry for peace, not snacks. Plus, Adam confesses his kefir era and Kim explains how to tell if your favorite foods actually love you back.

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.

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.

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.
