Welcome to this special cross-over podcast episode of Intrusive Thoughts X The Runthrough!!! Sarah (the missing Runthrough co-host) is on a work trip which can only mean pure chaos. In honor of Easter this past weekend, a listener suggested that it's the perfect time to teach Ashley about the meaning of Easter. We talk about the very famous "Last Dinner" and how Adam fell for a Facebook scam.

Adam is fresh off a trip to Australia—and very much running on no sleep. What starts as a travel update turns into a deep dive on packing cubes, airport timing, and why he refuses to use travel-size toiletries. He also gets into Australian candy, the reality of packing a suitcase in 30 minutes at 2am, and the humbling experience of realizing he showed up to work with dried marinara sauce on his face.

Adam finally dedicates an episode to listener texts—after a few detours, of course. From airport theory disasters and accidentally liking your ex’s new girlfriend’s 2019 pumpkin patch photo, to Duolingo lies, Zendaya fatigue, and whether you should block your own sister, he gives his very honest (and very unserious) advice on it all. He also shares a few quick life updates, including heading to Australia and hitting his personal limit in SoulCycle, while doing his best to actually stay on topic for once.

Adam admits solo podcasting is harder than it looks—and that he literally has to “fake record” just to warm up—before somehow getting into kefir, random texts, and a wrong-number message that shouldn’t have been his problem. He shares what he’s been working on behind the scenes, explains why some things are way more complicated than they should be, and gets into a surprisingly passionate take on Botox and technique. Later, he talks about fully losing track of time, influencers on Oscars red carpets, and why that job is a lot harder than people think.

Adam records from inside the almost-ready medical spa to share how everything is finally coming together. What started as a simple idea has turned into a crash course in branding, trademarks, logos, and the shocking cost of things like frames and wall signs. He walks through the unexpectedly complicated process of naming the business, why some names are basically impossible to trademark, and the winding path that finally led to the right one. Along the way he shares the inspiration behind the brand, the skating-club aesthetic that shaped the logo, and why the current “signage” is temporarily… a poster. It’s a funny, very real look at the intrusive thoughts that come with opening a business.

Adam gives a quick update on life after the Olympic whirlwind before diving straight into his newest adventure: opening a medical spa. What follows is a very funny crash course in commercial real estate, mysterious empty storefronts, and the Pasadena location that nearly drove him to write a strongly worded email for “emotional distress.” He shares why he’s moving ahead with a soft launch because rent waits for no one, what he’s learned about running a brick-and-mortar business, and his early thoughts on the surprisingly expensive world of aesthetic products and “medical grade” skincare.

Adam is back in the U.S. after his Olympic whirlwind and admits his brain feels freshly polished smooth. This isn’t a grand Olympic recap - it’s a jet-lagged, slightly delirious catch-up featuring airport Popeyes and Auntie Anne’s, opening his first Labubu on camera, and figuring out how to go from nonstop Olympic adrenaline to sitting at his own desk again. He shares a sweet reflection on Elana Meyers Taylor’s gold medal moment, remembers Whoopi Goldberg encouraging him to go for another Games, and explains why retiring was still the right call. There’s also medical spa updates, audition nerves, middle seat survival tactics, and a reminder that sometimes just showing up - even messy - is enough.

Adam checks in from Milan fully in roaming reporter mode, leaning into his dramatic broadcast voice and honestly thriving in it. Along the way he hangs with Sesame Street and insists on interviewing Oscar the Grouch, and somehow finds himself teaching Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg figure skating. He also gets real about the pressure athletes carry at the Games and shares a heartfelt moment watching Kazakhstan win and thinking of his late friend Olympic figure skater Denis Ten. Unexpected encounters, real emotion, and an Olympic experience Adam won’t forget anytime soon.
