Jet Lag, Popeyes, and Life After the Olympics

from Intrusive Thoughts by Adam Rippon

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