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.

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.
