Had the opportunity to sit down with the guys from @txrigoutdoors as well as Texas Music legend @erickwillis this past week.EJ and Wes gave me a crash course in all things "water fowl/duck hunting". We talked about their passion for outdoors/ starting up their youtube channel and brand/ and taking Erick on his first duck hunting trip.The second half of the podcast was mainly focused on Erick's music and his career. He was kind enough to shed some light on his upcoming album release and the plans to tour soon. I have been a fan of his music for a long time, and  had a great time meeting such a genuine and nice guy.

Not sure how, but we hit 10K downloads! I appreciate all the support over the years, lets see what we can cook up for season 2.

*DISCLAIMER* Yes I tested postive a few weeks ago. Yes I have followed EVERY guideline from my Physician. Yes I have been quarantined (literally have not left my home) in weeks.  Yes I am feeling leaps and bounds better than I did when I originally contracted the virus.This episode is laid back and fun. I am not looking for any argument or debate. This podcast isnt a place for that sh*t....Its JUST a podcast so take it easyyyyyyyyy. I hope you guys enjoy my recap of the last few weeks/Trying out video content/How I proposed to Kacy/Small town growth 

2020 is a weird time. People do outlandish and off the wall things, daily. But amidst all of the chaos and "new normal".......tattoos are STILL looked at as a taboo topic?I dont understand it. I never have understood it. And I never will

Im lucky enough to have one of my favorite sports (MMA) still active during the lockdown, and anyone who knows me, knows for the past few years ive been TELLING ALL FIGHT FANS THAT SUGAR SEAN O'MALLEY IS TAKING OVER THE BANTAMWEIGHT DIVISION! His knockout this weekend solidified that statement. Although, his rivals in the division laid out an impressive body of work this weekend as well. Aljamain Sterling and Cody Garbrandt had great fights and are in the title contention conversation as well.Although MMA is here, I cant wait to see my other two favorite sports, Texas Rangers Baseball and Dallas Stars Hockey rev back up! Thanks for all of the continued support!

We had a blast on this episode, and I hope yall enjoy!  As always.....both Kacy and myself are here if any of you ever need to reach out or just have someone to talk to. No judgement. *DISCLAIMER*  We're not professionals, and certainly never claim to be but we appreciate all of the messages we get and love the positive feedback from these episodes!The change in seasons is in full effect, especially here in Texas! We have had a very rainy winter/spring, but summer is finally and it has brought alot of sunshine and heat!In today's episode we go over a topic known as "Seasonal Affective Disorder" or SAD. Seasonal affective disorder is essentially what most people refer to as seasonal depression, the change in emotions and feelings due to the change in weather. We touch on how this summer season and all of the sunshine has had such a positive impact on Kacy (and myself for that matter) and all of the benefits of getting outside and soakin up some Vitamin D. #ratedjg #ratedjgpodcast #mentalhealth #mentalhealthpodcast #seasonaldepression #anxiety #podcastersofinstagram #vitamind 

Todays 10 minute rant is over terrible customers, the "Karens and Beckys" of the world. If you've ever been a part of the service industry or had to deal with the general public, you know these customers. In this episode I recap some of my personal experiences with awful customers. Complain and complain until they get what they want! Maybe as a society, we are setting an example that this kind of childish behavior is okay......weeellllll, not in my book.Hope yall enjoy this one, make sure to send me over some suggestions for this series on Instagram or Facebook @RatedJG Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

Started a NEW episode series that I will periodically put out, this series will feature short "rants" over certain topics and will be roughly 10 minutes long,I tend to think of myself as a positive person, but every now and then you gotta let off some steam....thats where this series comes in handy. Todays 10 minute topic is over Internet Experts and Keyboard Warriors. This group of people never ceases to amaze me. Picking fights online/outwardly seeking argumentation/ avoiding civil conversation to shove their point across....etc etc. Ill just never understand!Hope yall enjoy this one, make sure to send me over some suggestions for this series on Instagram or Facebook @RatedJG 

On this episode, Kacy and I once again dive into the topic of mental health.More specifically, how Kacy has been dealing with her mental health awareness during the COVID-19 crisis. Staying at home, self-quarantining, changing your daily schedule can really take a toll on you. So we explain how we have dealt with all of this as a couple.Lots of laughs and some good conversation to start off yalls week! Make sure to subscribe to Rated JG on Itunes, google, spotify, wherever you get your podcasts from!

So I figured, this would be the perfect opportunity to bring some happiness and awesome live music to all of my listeners. I hosted a live stream concert on the Rated JG facebook page and had three of my best friends (and insanely talented musical artists) perform and take song requests. I had no expectations other than to have some fun and bring exposure to Preston Scott, Josh Burch and Alex Engelhardt.....but the live stream ended up  receiving  over 6 thousand views and 11 thousand impressions! This episode is the raw audio from the stream, thank you all for tuning in!
