Mailbag Meltdowns – Shadow Reads the Truth In this wildly entertaining and brutally honest episode of Just Call Me Eric, Eric teams up with his sarcastic, shadow-dwelling co-host—Shadow—to dive into real listener emails from the edge of sanity. From the guy whose wife "doesn’t understand him" to the overwhelmed business owner throwing daily Hail Mary posts on Facebook, no question is off limits and no excuse survives the segment. Shadow doesn’t hold back. He rips through the fluff with biting commentary while Eric drops the raw advice people need to hear—even if it stings. “My wife doesn’t get me.” “I post every day and still don’t get business.” “Is social media even worth it anymore?”
Get ready, because they all get answers. Loud ones. If you’re looking for soft talk and feel-good vibes, this ain’t your show. But if you want sharp truth, business wisdom with bite, and a co-host that sounds like he was raised in a bunker full of broken dreams, Shadow’s got your back. Brutally real. Hilariously dark. Surprisingly helpful. Don’t call them therapists. Don’t call them motivational.
Just Call Me Eric.

Eric Martin Koppelman strips the fluff, torches the clichés, and gives you a front-row seat to the no-BS truth most people are too scared to say out loud. From bouncing checks and hitting rock bottom to building a broadcast empire from scratch, Eric doesn’t just tell the rags-to-riches story—he lives it out loud, scars and all. And yeah… sometimes he shoots himself in the foot by being too honest. He’ll tell you when he screwed up, how he failed, and why he’s still standing—because he knows real recognizes real. This isn’t some polished, perfect guru feeding you fairy dust. This is raw talk for real people who are sick of the excuses—and ready to move. This is your wake-up call. No filters. No ego-stroking. Just truth, hustle, and hard-earned wisdom. If you're tired of losing, tired of lying to yourself—this episode is for you. Don’t call him a coach. Don’t call him a guru. Just Call Me Eric.
