As a father, I often find myself trying to give my sons advice based on the lessons I’ve learned throughout my life. But sometimes I have to remind myself that they are not me—and they don't have to be.In this episode, I get real about trying to give advice to my sons, the generational differences that can make those conversations challenging, and realizing that what worked for me may not always work for them.I also turn the question toward the public: If you could go back and give your younger self one piece of advice, what would you say?What would you change? What mistakes would you avoid? What would you tell the younger version of yourself about life, relationships, family, decisions, or simply growing into the person you were meant to become?This episode is about reflecting on who I was, who I am today, and the lessons I wish I had understood sooner.Because sometimes I have to stop trying to make my sons become who I was.WE ARE NOT THE SAME. And maybe that's the point.

After a LONG hiatus, Eric G is officially back behind the mic!So…where the heck have I been? 😂On this live episode, I’m finally sitting down to give y’all a real life update—what’s been happening with me, what I’ve been dealing with, what I’ve learned, and why I needed to step away for a while.We’re talking mental health, life, family, relationships, getting older, personal growth, the things nobody sees behind the scenes, and everything else that’s been on my mind.And of course, I’ve been paying attention to the world while I was gone. So expect me to dive into the crazy stuff I’ve seen in the news, current events, pop culture, social media drama, and whatever else has me saying, “WHAT IS GOING ON?!”No script. No pretending I have all the answers. Just me being me—honest, opinionated, funny, sometimes serious, and probably going completely off-topic at some point. 😂I took a break.I had some things to figure out.I had some things to process.But now…BABY, I'M BACK...AGAIN. 🔥Come hang out, catch up, laugh with me, and let's talk about EVERYTHING.Live. Unfiltered. Honest. And probably all over the place.

For the first episode of my father-and-son series, I sit down with my youngest son, Jamil — 17, outspoken, smart, hilarious, and just enough of a troublemaker to keep life interesting. Because me and him are close, nothing is off limits. We’re talking love lives, relationships, life lessons, mistakes, future goals, past experiences, and the real stuff most fathers and sons don’t always say out loud. The rule is simple: ask anything, answer honestly — even if we don’t like the answer. Expect laughs, uncomfortable truths, wisdom, jokes, and real man-to-man conversations about growing up, dating, family, and figuring life out together. No filters, no pretending — just transparency, respect, and real talk between a dad and his son.

Gearing up for the 2nd half of my season 8

This episode of Random Thoughts with Eric G. starts with one Facebook post that turned into a whole debate. After sharing my thoughts on Joe Jackson, social media had a lot to say — but it opened the door to a bigger conversation about parenting, pressure, discipline, generational trauma, and what people call “greatness.”Was Joe Jackson abusive? Many would say yes. Did he also push his kids into becoming global icons? Absolutely. In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable gray area in between. No yelling, no fake outrage — just honest conversation, personal reflection, a little humor, and real thoughts about how many of us were raised versus how we’re trying to grow today.Sometimes the people who pushed us also hurt us. Sometimes success comes with scars. And sometimes the internet forgets that two truths can exist at the same time
