Hollywood, Hyde, and Healing with Actor Hunter Doohan

UNCLE BANANA CHILDREN'S BOOK - CHRISTMAS LESSONS - PROCEEDS BENEFITTING BREAKING & ENTERING CHRISTMASIn this heart-opening holiday episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel sits down with veteran television host and producer Tommy Habeeb, the creator and star of the nationally syndicated series To the Rescue. Airing on over 200 stations across the country, the show follows real-life animal rescues and the incredible people behind them—first responders, shelter workers, and families who open their hearts and homes to animals in need.But Tommy’s journey is more than just puppies and happy endings. He opens up about his time as the original host of Cheaters, what that chapter taught him about human behavior, and how it shaped the deeply empathetic lens he brings to his work today. Together, Adam and Tommy explore the emotional terrain of second chances, what animals can teach us about healing, and why "adopt, don't shop" is more urgent now than ever.Whether you’re an animal lover, a fan of Tommy’s past work, or someone looking for some unexpected inspiration this season, this is a conversation that will stay with you.• Watch To the Rescue: https://totherescue.tv • Follow Tommy Habeeb on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tommyhabeeb • Subscribe to To the Rescue on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVucVLlcH4vCUwadflUeIyw • Find a shelter near you: https://theshelterpetproject.org/shelters • Support Woods Humane Society: https://www.woodshumanesociety.org********Listen to Up+Adam with Adam Montiel:Official Website: adammontiel.comApple Podcasts: Up+Adam on Apple PodcastsSpotify: Up+Adam on SpotifyiHeartRadio: Up+Adam on iHeartRadioYouTube Music: Up+Adam on YouTube Music********CHECK OUT OUR WOODS HUMANE PET OF THE WEEK!********ADAM’S TEDX VIDEO IS HERE!********FOLLOW ADAM ON INSTAGRAM*********Sincere Thanks to the current supporters of Up + Adam.

UNCLE BANANA CHILDREN'S BOOK - CHRISTMAS LESSONS - PROCEEDS BENEFITTING BREAKING & ENTERING CHRISTMASToday’s Guest: Hollywood star Hunter Doohan!Hunter Doohan is on fire. From his breakout role in Netflix’s Wednesday to haunting performances in Your Honor and Daredevil: Born Again, Hunter is proving he’s not just rising. He’s redefining what it means to show up in this industry with depth, drive, and zero fear of the dark.In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel sits down with Hunter to talk about his newest project, The Wilderness. It’s a chilling new indie film based on the real-life trauma of “wilderness therapy” programs. As both actor and producer, Hunter opens up about what it was like to be on a set where the director was reliving his own story, and how telling it changed the way Hunter thinks about power, control, and survival.But this convo goes deeper. Hunter gets real about losing his dad to ALS, the private grief behind public success, and the moments in his career that felt less like big breaks and more like emotional reckonings. He also shares what it's like moving between monsters and mentors, playing Hyde, working with Bryan Cranston, teaming up with Aaron Paul, and why being behind the camera might just be where his truth lives next.This one’s raw, real, and packed with perspective. If you want to see what happens when a guest doesn’t just show up, they show out, this is it.Watch Hunter in The Wilderness – now in select theaters and available on digital and on demand December 16 Watch the trailerFollow Hunter on Instagram instagram.com/hunterdoohanLearn more or donate to Project ALS projectals.org********Listen to Up+Adam with Adam Montiel:Official Website: adammontiel.comApple Podcasts: Up+Adam on Apple PodcastsSpotify: Up+Adam on SpotifyiHeartRadio: Up+Adam on iHeartRadioYouTube Music: Up+Adam on YouTube Music********CHECK OUT OUR WOODS HUMANE PET OF THE WEEK!********ADAM’S TEDX VIDEO IS HERE!********FOLLOW ADAM ON INSTAGRAM*********Sincere Thanks to the current supporters of Up + Adam.

You get Nate’s on Marsh. It’s a restaurant that feels like your grandma’s house if she had a decorator with excellent taste, a thing for cowboys, and maybe just a splash of chaos.In this episode, Adam sits down with Nathan Long, owner, operator, and low-key vibe architect, to talk about how Nate’s became more than a restaurant. It’s a neighborhood anchor. A local love letter. A place where the pasta’s local, the playlist’s curated, and the bar’s always stocked with conversation.They dive into the real behind-the-scenes. What it takes to build a team that moves like a band. How to create a space that feels like home but looks like a Western art film. And why Nathan refuses to sell out to frozen-food culture or Sysco-style shortcuts. This conversation explores what makes a restaurant matter, not just to your stomach, but to your soul.Also, Adam asks the question nobody’s asking about the state of food right now. Why does everything taste the same? Nathan’s answer is personal, passionate, and sharply on point.Pull up a seat. This one’s layered.

Adam sits down with Mike Arnold, General Manager of the Cambria Christmas Market, to take you behind the scenes of one of the most magical events in SLO CAL. What started as a modest stroll for hotel guests has exploded into a nationally recognized winter wonderland with over 3 million lights, more than 30 local vendors, live music, wood-fired pizza, mulled wine, and selfie spots for days.In this episode, Mike opens up about what it takes to pull off an event of this scale. From year-round planning and tree-trimming in August to coordinating 16 shuttles and keeping hotel guests happy, the operation is both massive and deeply thoughtful. We also dive into the German roots of the market, the evolution of the event, the challenges of logistics in a mountain neighborhood, and yes, the spicy little controversy of being named one of the most overcrowded Christmas markets in North America.Plus, Adam gets the scoop on the secret to wrapping Christmas lights like a pro (seriously, life-changing), the story behind their crowd-favorite Glühwein, and why the Cambria Christmas Market is so much more than just lights.
