    Miles Crain: Losing a Friend, Finding Purpose, and Writing His First Book | Rated PG

    Philip and G5 sit down with Lubbock author Miles Crain to talk about his journey from teenage substance abuse and treatment to a psychology degree, a published book, and two companion journals. Miles opens up about getting sent to rehab at 18, losing one of his best friends to an overdose on 9/13/2020, and how that day set the direction for his life. He also talks about his state tennis run being cut short by COVID, why being a beginner is the hardest part of starting anything, the talk-to-text trick that helped him finish his book, and the honest editor who cut 30 pages from his manuscript. Plus: how he met his wife, the story behind "maybe it's a grandma, bro," and the twist-heavy movies he's been catching up on. In the entertainment segment, we cover Shutter Island, The Prestige, Money Heist, Dark Matter season 2, the Nathan Fielder Elizabeth Holmes documentary, and a Randy Travis concert night. 📚 Miles' book and journals (Unconsciously Conscious, Everything Affects Everything, Man's Urge to Go Nowhere) are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Target, and TikTok Shop, where you can order signed, personalized copies. The audiobook is coming soon.  📱 Follow Miles on TikTok: Miles Crane ⏱️ Chapters  0:00 Intro & welcome Miles Crain  0:56 Growing up: Virginia, Thailand, Amarillo  4:00 Substance abuse & getting sent to treatment  8:00 Losing a friend & finding purpose  15:00 COVID, tennis & a stolen senior season  19:00 Posting your first video: embrace being a beginner  24:00 How the book started  32:00 Writing tip: talk instead of type  33:00 Meeting his wife & faith  40:00 The journals & fear of failure  51:00 The editor who cut 30 pages  57:00 "Maybe it's a grandma, bro"  59:00 Where to get the books  1:03:00 Movies & shows: Shutter Island, Prestige, Money Heist  1:10:30 G5's picks: Nathan Fielder, Dark Matter, Randy Travis #RatedPG #MilesCrain #LubbockPodcast #Recovery #Author

    Tim Pendergrass: Following Where God Leads | Faith, Purpose & Taking the Leap

    What happens when you choose to follow where God leads—even when the path doesn't make perfect sense? In this episode of RatedPG, G5 and Philip sit down with Tim Pendergrass, physical therapist and owner of Fourth Corner Physical Concepts in Lubbock, Texas. Tim shares his story of growing up, becoming a personal trainer, pursuing physical therapy, navigating career changes, and ultimately taking a leap of faith to build something centered around relationships, healing, and purpose. We also talk about faith, marriage, family, business, leadership, physical health, and what it means to recognize the doors God opens for us.

    Dolly Parton, He-Man's Fall From Grace & The Project 912 Interview

    Philip and George kick things off with a tribute to Dolly Parton — and a rewatch of 9 to 5 in her honor — before running through everything they've watched lately: Coyote vs. Acme, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the dinosaur horror flick The End of Oak Street, the Anthony Bourdain biopic Tony, the relationship drama Materialists, Project Hail Mary, and The Odyssey. Philip also unloads a full-blown pet-peeve rant on Masters of the Universe, arguing the new He-Man doesn't measure up to Dolph Lundgren's — plus a detour into the Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds/Justin Baldoni fallout. Then the show heads courtside to the Project 912 Pickleball Extravaganza, where the guys sit down with founder Miranda Bloodworth to talk about the nonprofit's work helping overseas preachers with wells, vehicles, and self-sustaining income — followed by a run of rapid-fire movie takes from friends and family at the tournament, including a pickleball-rated review of The Dink. 0:00 Intro & remembering Dolly Parton  6:01 Coyote vs. Acme  7:07 Spider-Man: Brand New Day  8:17 The End of Oak Street  10:56 Masters of the Universe (Phillip's Pet Peeves)  20:13 Tony, Materialists & more recent watches  27:42 Project Hail Mary  28:53 The Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively fallout  33:45 Heading to the Project 912 Pickleball Tournament  39:49 500 viewers & show shoutouts  41:40 Interview: Miranda Bloodworth on Project 912  51:41 Man-on-the-street: courtside movie takes  56:00 Closing interview with Jennifer: The Dink & Project Hail Mary
