Even if you've never seen a frame of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.Adam sits down with Pati Rock, the wife, creative partner, and now legacy-keeper of the legendary rock photographer Mick Rock. Mick captured some of the most iconic images in music history — Bowie, Queen, Iggy, Lou Reed — and was the only photographer given full access during the filming of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025.In this intimate and unforgettable conversation, Pati shares what it was like to walk beside a man whose lens defined an era, how the new book Rocky Horror: Behind the Scenes of a Cult Classic came to life, and the powerful, creative ways she stays connected to Mick through her own art.This isn’t just a look back. It’s a living, breathing love story wrapped in art, music, and the magic of cultural history.Preorder the book • (https://www.harpercollins.com/products/rocky-horror-mick-rocktim-mohr?variant=43813469028386)Rocky Horror: Behind the Scenes of a Cult Classic (HarperCollins) (https://www.harpercollins.com/products/rocky-horror-mick-rocktim-mohr?variant=43813469028386)Follow and learn more • (https://www.mickrock.com/)MickRock.com (https://www.mickrock.com/) • @MickRock on InstagramMake sure to follow, rate, and share the show.

Jingle Jam, Surf and Storms and Saving Thanksgiving
In this episode of Up+Adam:* Breaking & Entering Jingle Jam lineup and details for December 11 in downtown SLO* A deeper look at LA’s Palisades Fire and the questions still hanging over it* Pismo Beach’s Surfing for Hope Longboard Classic and how it supports local cancer patients* Nipomo’s new bronze memorial honoring the real "Migrant Mother" and her story* Central Coast rain outlook to start the week* Thanksgiving timing tips, stomach saves, and how not to be the problem at dinnerThis one is a full holiday plate. Adam kicks things off with breaking news on this year’s Breaking & Entering Jingle Jam, happening Thursday, December 11 at Libertine Brewing in downtown San Luis Obispo. He walks through the lineup so far - Damon Castillo Band, KB of IMVA, Dan Curcio of Moonshiner Collective, Josh Rosenblum, Jon Millsap, Michael Venia of Carbon City Lights, and Brianna Lee and Josh Barrett from B and the Hive - and how the night ties into making Christmas magical for a local family who really needs it.From there, we hit a run of Lofi Headlines that start heavy and land right here at home. Adam breaks down new scrutiny over how the most destructive fire in Los Angeles history really started and whether it could have been stopped days earlier. Then it is straight to the pier as top longboard surfers roll into Pismo for the Surfing for Hope Longboard Classic, chasing World Surf League spots and raising money for local families fighting cancer, with Adam talking about why this crew is so close to his heart. We wrap that block in Nipomo, where the community just unveiled a bronze memorial to Florence Owens Thompson, the woman in Dorothea Lange’s famous "Migrant Mother" photo, and what it means to literally anchor that story in local soil.Because it is that kind of week on the Central Coast, Adam also runs through your rain pattern for the next few days so you know when you are dodging showers and when you might actually see the sun. Then we get into Thanksgiving damage control: when to actually serve the meal if you want to sleep that night, why skipping breakfast backfires, and a rapid fire list of "do not be that person" moves at dinner. From showing up empty handed and hovering in the kitchen to serving lukewarm sides and running out of wine, this episode gives you a cheat sheet for keeping the food hot, the vibes warm, and the group text calm.********Listen to Up+Adam with Adam Montiel:* Official Website: adammontiel.com* Apple Podcasts:

Ain’t Trying to Be Tim McGraw’s Nepo-Nephew: Timothy Wayne on Breaking Out Without Breaking the Bloodline
This episode of Up+Adam features rising country artist Timothy Wayne, whose new single “Good Ole Boys Girl” is already gaining traction. He carries a famous last name and a powerful connection. His uncle is country icon Tim McGraw, but the conversation goes beyond music and into what it means to build a career under the weight of legacy.More than just a country story, this episode explores what it’s like to have an "in" that can open doors but also raise questions. When someone comes from a high-profile family, the assumption is often that success was handed to them. This conversation dives into what happens when the pressure isn't less, it's more. It is about proving yourself, showing up with soul, and earning every step. Country fan or not, this is a story anyone can connect with.• Listen to “Good Ole Boys Girl” on Spotify, Apple Music, or any streaming platform • Watch the official music video: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp9fYNtSuz8)YouTube Link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp9fYNtSuz8) • Website: (https://www.timothywaynemusic.com)www.timothywaynemusic.com (https://www.timothywaynemusic.com) • Follow on Instagram & TikTok: (https://www.instagram.com/timothywayne)@timothywayne (https://www.instagram.com/timothywayne)********Listen to Up+Adam with Adam Montiel:* Official Website: adammontiel.com* Apple Podcasts: Up+Adam on Apple Podcasts* Spotify:

Veterans Day: The Last Watch - Dick Grantham’s Final Story
Happy Veterans Day!Met Richard “Dick” Grantham in 2021 when I hosted a Veterans dinner at the Elks. He stood up, shared his WWII story, and left the whole room in awe. He served in the Navy, survived some of the fiercest battles in the Pacific, and was awarded a Purple Heart after a kamikaze strike hit his ship.Nearly a year later, his daughter reached out. Dick was home, frail, and in hospice care, but wanted to sit down with me and tell his story in full. I spent over an hour with him at his kitchen table. His voice was weak, but his memory was sharp. We talked, we laughed, we cried.A few hours after I left, I got a text:“My dad went to heaven to be with my mom. He loved you.”I’ll never forget it. On his final day, he chose to share that time with me, and I’m forever honored.Today on Up+Adam, I’m sharing that interview again with new reflections so his story, his bravery, and his voice can continue to be heard.********Listen to Up+Adam with Adam Montiel:* Official Website: adammontiel.com* Apple Podcasts: Up+Adam on Apple Podcasts* Spotify: Up+Adam on Spotify* iHeartRadio: Up+Adam on iHeartRadio* YouTube Music: Up+Adam on YouTube Music********CHECK OUT OUR WOODS HUMANE PET OF THE WEEK!

Be Water, Be Human: From Immigrant to Icon, What This Well Known Actor Taught Us About Power & Pride
In this episode of Up+Adam, we welcome award-winning author and cultural historian Jeff Chang for a powerful conversation about his upcoming book, Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America.This isn’t just about Bruce Lee the legend, it’s about the human behind the icon. The immigrant. The artist. The man navigating masculinity, identity, and expectation in a world that demanded he be a symbol before he could even be himself. Drawing from never-before-seen letters, intimate interviews, and rare archives, Jeff’s new book paints a bold, deeply emotional portrait of Bruce Lee, and the rise of Asian America alongside him.Adam and Jeff talk about what Bruce Lee still teaches us about power, softness, representation, and why his legacy feels even more relevant today than it did in 1973. If you’ve ever felt the tension between who you are and what the world wants you to be, this conversation’s for you.• Get the book: (https://www.harpercollins.com/products/water-mirror-echo-jeff-chang)Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America (HarperCollins) (https://www.harpercollins.com/products/water-mirror-echo-jeff-chang) • Follow Jeff on Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/zentronix)@zentronix (https://www.instagram.com/zentronix) • Learn more about Jeff’s work: (https://www.jeffchang.net/)https://www.jeffchang.net (https://www.jeffchang.net/)********Adam will be leading a live workshop on The Art of the Interview at this year’s Central Coast Writers Conference (http://cuesta.edu/writers-conference), happening September 26–27, 2025 at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo.
