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.

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.

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.

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.

Adam gives a quick rundown of his very off-brand Thanksgiving (minimal cooking, maximum mental break), but the highlight is his ongoing standoff with a certain bargain-bin retailer that keeps trying to book him. Every time they DM, he raises the price—“rates have gone up”—and he fully warns listeners: if you ever see him posing with questionable plastic goods, just know the check was life-altering. He touches on billionaires, lightly roasts Phil Rosenthal’s dad-joke stamina, and ends with some heartfelt gratitude and a call for everyone’s personal “sellout number.”

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.
