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 woul...

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 togeth...

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 ā€œgreatness.ā€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...

This week, I’m not talking alone — I’ve got the panel in the building.We’re giving flowers to Black figures who’ve made a real impact on our history āœŠšŸæ while reflecting on legacy and loss.

At this point, who’s surviving more — Ghostface or America?Nothing is off limits. No scripts. Just real perspectives, real reactions, and barbershop-style debates from people who aren’t afraid to say what they t...
