In this episode of Quick Hits from The SoapBox Lex, Paul and Eric go full-speed through a lightning round of curious, quirky, and conversational topics. We go back to a galaxy far, far away with a quick Star Wars soapbox, then bring it back down to Earth with the awkward art of walking across campus. Ever wonder the right way to cook a steak? We’ve got opinions. What about the surprisingly common act of running… in jeans? And why do people always find things in “the last place they look”? It’s a fast, funny, and completely unpredictable ride.

💉 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.
