Intrusive Thoughts by Adam Rippon

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
