💉 In this candid and compelling episode of The SoapBox Lex, Eric and Paul dive deep into one of Paul's greatest personal fears—needles. From childhood anxieties to adult avoidance strategies, the duo explores the roots of this fear, how it's affected Paul's life, and the steps he's taken (or avoided!) to overcome it.

Whether you're squeamish around syringes or just love a thoughtful conversation about vulnerability, this episode has a little something for everyone. So stick around, pun intended, for this episode!

Welcome back to SoapBoxLex, where we call it like we see it-and this week, we're taking a hard look at corporate waste in all its absurd forms. From tossing out perfectly good photo proofs to lights burning 24/7 in empty buildings, we're talking about the everyday waste that adds up to big problems.

We're also spotlighting the mountains of retail waste happening behind the scenes-think unsold inventory, unnecessary packaging, and perfectly usable products getting trashed instead of donated. And yes, we're shouting out our friend Dumpster Dive King (we shouted him out in Episode 19!) for continuing to expose just how much good stuff companies throw away.

This week on The SoapBox Lex, Paul Ross and Eric Green welcome a special guest to the mic-Eric's longtime friend, Smiley.

Together, they dive into how culture has shifted in the wake of Covid-19, from the unexpected silver linings to the lingering challenges we're all still navigating. Whether it's remote work, social norms, or just the way we greet each other, nothing's off the table-except politics (we're steering clear of that). Longtime listeners won't want to miss Smiley's insights, sharp wit, and a few inside jokes that might just become show legends.
