Sleepless in Finland: Reclining Seats, HOA Drama & Trashy Behavior
Aug 2801:06:55Summary readyFresh off an 11-hour flight with zero sleep, Adam records his first Intrusive Thoughts episode abroad—from a cottage in Finland. Running on pure delusion (and pear martini memories), he tackles listener dilemmas ranging from airplane reclining etiquette to nightmare neighbors who want to sue over toddler footsteps. Adam shares why noise complaints against kids are absurd, dishes out some savage HOA hot takes, and spirals about the first time he ever saw someone litter. Plus, we get an update on his reading glasses hunt, a voicemail about discount-store finds, and the behind-the-scenes story of why the podcast rebrand finally made sense.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
SummaryCloset Purgatory and Other Life Lessons
Aug 2100:59:56Summary readyAdam’s DIY era is here: goodbye tacky microwave, hello self-installed range hood and a custom steel backsplash. Along the way, he gets sidetracked by water bottles, butterflies, and closet purgatory—but also dives into listener questions about judgment, clutter, and relationships that don’t go as planned. It’s messy, heartfelt, and very Adam.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
SummaryFrom Mars to Music with Betty Who
Aug 1401:09:42Summary readyAdam is joined by friend and superstar singer-songwriter Betty Who — as they dive into her evolution as an artist, her confidence, and fully embracing who she is. They swap short-lived reality TV experiences, plot Betty’s inevitable Great British Bake Off debut, and share chaos from Adam’s Mars reality show before Betty tells an iconic tour bus story involving Jennifer Lopez. From career highs to the very real fear of bad tattoos — and yes, plenty of talk about their shared love of dogs (and mutual dislike of dog parks) — it’s an hour of friendship, laughs, and unfiltered honesty.See Betty Who with the LA Phil on August 30, 2025, at The Ford.

SummaryA Hidden Toaster and A Sad Microwave
Aug 7, 202501:11:48Summary readyDescription: One man. One microwave. Zero adult supervision. With JP out of town, Adam goes full chaos: removing the kitchen microwave solo, hiding the toaster in a closet, and nearly signing the lease on his new med spa (plumbing included, thanks to Bob the 80-year-old real estate king). Listener texts and voicemails deliver everything from pistachio meltdowns to parking lot disasters, and Adam has strong feelings about floss, phone calls in public restrooms, and sock slippage. Text or call 310-909-7117 to share your own intrusive thoughts. He’s listening. And judging. But mostly listening.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
SummaryNipple to Knee
Jul 31, 202501:06:16Summary readyAdam is flying solo this week and fully in his Intrusive Thoughts groove. He starts by reacting to the shocking news that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is ending (with a little side-eye toward Jimmy Fallon), then launches into a tale of cracked sinks, failed DIY “sink art,” and the surprisingly perfect space he just found for his new medical spa—thanks to a very shady “massage business.” But the best part? Adam ends the episode with an absolutely outrageous story about his final Olympic drug test, complete with “nipple-to-knee” rules, a full bladder, and a bathroom emergency that turned into the most humiliating goodbye imaginable.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
SummaryOverthinking, Cleaning, and Complaining
Jul 24, 202500:52:34Summary readyAdam is home alone and unhinged—in the best way. With his husband off in Finland, Adam bleaches his teeth into oblivion, deep-cleans every drawer in sight, and questions the rise of robot food couriers (Coco, the mini-fridge on wheels, is officially on his list). He dishes advice to a caller with a parking problem, reflects on winning 'Stars on Mars' by out-strategizing Marshawn Lynch, and wonders if AI is ready for LA traffic (spoiler: it’s not).

SummaryThe Problem with Influencer Wellness Trends
Jul 17, 202500:55:46Summary readyEver been personally victimized by a protein parfait on TikTok? Same. Adam takes us on a full-body rant about the lies of “100g protein hacks,” apparently everyones drinking Ballerina Farms, and why cheeseburger soup should probably be illegal. He opens up about his health journey (farewell, Coke Zero bloat), drops a life-changing Ninja Creami ice cream recipe made in the bathroom, and somehow ends up defending moms with crying babies and dragging slow walkers in one breath. Please hold your eye rolls until the end.

SummaryDream Body, Nightmare Gym Bill
Jul 10, 202501:09:09Summary readyAdam is back with big feelings, gym grudges, and a dream of a Love Island-themed home gym (strict 20-hour max). He unpacks his overpriced Equinox membership, his “baby doll body” skating days, and the oddly specific photo goal driving his workouts.He also shares the sweet story of how he and his husband proposed at the same time—no surprises, just synchronized rings—and answers a listener's question about proposal anxiety. Plus, reflections on life after the Olympics, cardio tears, and why loud grunting at the gym should be a crime.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SummaryInternet Breaks and Exploding Baby Powder
Jun 26, 202501:06:51Summary readyThis week, Adam unpacks—literally—a suitcase disaster where baby powder exploded and covered everything he owns, including his toothbrush (RIP). That spirals into a full breakdown of his intense shower routine, his love for scent layering, and his personal mission to smell amazing at all times. He also opens up about his worst internet moments, like when Swifties came after him with clown emojis and something else he truly wishes he could unsee (it’s... not safe for lunch). Plus, the time Drag Race fans turned on him over a live event gone wrong. Through it all, Adam shares some real advice about posting online, dealing with haters, and why sometimes you just need to powder your problems and move on.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
