  • Bad Sports Parents (with Tyler Mills)
    Jun 17 2025

    In this episode of The SoapBox Lex, hosts Paul Ross and Eric Green are joined by special guest Tyler Mills for a candid conversation about a growing problem in youth sports: parents behaving badly. From shouting at referees to living vicariously through their kids, we break down the outrageous — and sometimes dangerous — behavior seen on the sidelines. Tyler brings firsthand stories and insight from his experience as a coach and sports dad, while Paul and Eric explore the social and emotional pressures that lead to these sideline meltdowns. It’s a thought-provoking (and sometimes hilarious) dive into what sportsmanship really means — for the kids and the adults.

    Whether you're a parent, coach, or just a fan of youth sports, this one’s for you. Time to take a stand... or at least take a seat in the bleachers without causing a scene.

  • Girl Rock (with Babs)
    Jun 11 2025

    This week on The SoapBox Lex, Paul and Eric are joined by a very special guest — Babs, a local music aficionado, performer, and advocate for women in rock. Babs brings the heat with a passionate discussion about gender disparities in the music scene, from how women are booked on shows to the different standards and expectations they face compared to their male counterparts.

    From local venues to national stages, we unpack the unspoken rules, the stereotypes, and the cultural norms that still shape the music industry today. It’s a conversation about representation, respect, and the rock and roll spirit that refuses to be silenced.

    Whether you’re a musician, a fan, or someone curious about the behind-the-scenes reality of live music, this episode strikes a chord. 🎸🔥

  • Mid-Season Quick Hits
    Jun 5 2025

    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.
