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

Type A Energy, Type B Execution
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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Paint Fumes, Red Bull, and One Cursed Lollipop — Intrusive Thoughts After Hours
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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bad Purchases and Zero Refunds — with Michelle Collins
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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hungry for Peace with Kim Shapira
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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
