Intrusive Thoughts by Adam Rippon

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.
