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.

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.

One of the biggest themes of the conversation is simple: sometimes you have to trust God enough to walk through the door when it opens.

• Taking risks and following God's direction
• The story behind Fourth Corner Physical Concepts
• Building a business around people and relationships
• Faith, purpose, and finding your calling

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.

in this episode Philip and G5 talk about who they would want to star as themselves in a movie about their life. they also introduce the newest segment called George's Gems. They also have Alex show off some new Rated PG gear.

In this episode, we sit down with Leeroy Makusha to hear his incredible journey across three continents—from his childhood in Zimbabwe, to finding love in South Korea, and eventually building a life in Lubbock, Texas.

Leeroy shares what it was like growing up without running water or electricity, how those experiences shaped him, and the culture differences he’s had to navigate along the way. From hilarious misunderstandings—like learning the hard way that calling someone “fat” isn’t always a compliment—to a chaotic (and unforgettable) encounter with wild bees, this episode is packed with stories you won’t forget.

It’s a mix of humor, culture shock, and real-life perspective that shows just how different—and similar—life can be around the world.

This is the Rated PG Podcast episode 3 by G5 (George) and Philip join us as we look at a show called "Young Sherlock" as well as some other movies, books, and shows. And please welcome a new section called "Philip's Pet Peeves". And most importantly Philip and G5 give their spiel about outfits at the gym.

In Episode 2 of RatedPG, G5 and Philip kick things off with a little entertainment talk before diving into G5’s life story.

Philip shares about recent concerts including Def Leppard in Las Vegas and Needtobreathe in Lubbock, while G5 reviews the historical drama Hamnet, a film centered around William Shakespeare’s life and tragedy.

The conversation then shifts to books, British mysteries, and classic literature—from Agatha Christie to East of Eden and The Count of Monte Cristo.

In the second half of the episode, Philip interviews G5 about his life:

Growing up as the oldest of five siblings

Moving across the country from Wyoming to South Dakota, New York, and West Texas

Being homeschooled and public schooled

Walking through a difficult season when his younger brother battled leukemia

Meeting his wife Paige in Lubbock

And how he unexpectedly became a preacher.

It’s an honest and personal conversation about family, faith, challenges, and the experiences that shape who we become.

Hosted by G5 (George) and Philip

Welcome to RatedPG! In our very first episode, G5 (George) and Philip introduce the podcast and what you can expect: movies, shows, and interviews with people we find interesting.

We kick things off with what we’ve been watching — from cozy murder mysteries in small-town England to Netflix thrillers and shows that make you think (and sometimes make you question why every “rugged” TV character has a perfect beard).

Then George interviews Philip and walks through his life story: growing up as a preacher’s kid, learning independence as an only child, meeting his wife Jennifer, finding discipline through bodybuilding (including earning a pro card), and the powerful journey of adopting their son Alex.

Next time: Philip flips the mic and interviews G5.
