Let’s face it – every day we are routinely bombarded with questions. When you’re an emerging media company in Nashville, people just want to know what your opinions are on everything. It’s only natural. And, since our duty is to serve the people, well, we have no choice but to be present. That’s the SoBro Way. Also, aren’t mailbags just a barrel of laughs anyway? Welcome to the newest weekly recurring feature up in this bitch: The SoBros Mailbag. As always, use #SoBrosMailbag to hit us up on Twitter.
Foreword: WOW – we’ve made it a year. When I first launched the SoBros Mailbag, I thought there might be some humor in searching ‘mailbag’ on Twitter and answering questions that were intended for other mailbags. So, that’s what I did the first couple of weeks, and I did find it rather funny. But, I also wondered how long I could keep it up without legitimate support from our friends.
I gave myself six weeks and said, “if it doesn’t really take off, then I’ll just can it.” But, the support started coming in. We’ve had a lot of fun with it, and you guys voted the mailbag as the ‘Column of the Year’ on the 2018 SoBros Awards. Of all the things to take off and become such a brand-critical feature, I never would’ve thought this would be it. THANK YOU! I hope I’ve made your Fridays better.
Question:
Would you rather have tiny feet and really big hands or really big feet and tiny hands?
— sobrostan (@sobrostan) March 7, 2019
Answer:
Gut reaction was ‘give me the tiny hands.’ I’m already clumsy and I imagine having tiny feet would greatly decrease my balance, causing me to bump into shit more often. But, I don’t know – the prospects of having tiny hands is pretty jarring, too. Would I even be able to play guitar? If not, what on Earth does that mean for the future of New Music Thursday? Can’t lose that one.
Plus, ALL of my wild hand gestures would no longer have the desired effect. Imagine slamming a table to get your point across (as most normal level-headed people do) with a baby hand. Everyone would laugh at you.
I think I’ll take the tiny feet and big hands after all.
Question:
1.What activities are you guys planning to take part of Mania week. Wrestling and non wrestling related.
— Cemetery Mayne (@RighteousJesse) March 7, 2019
2. Why don’t we have SoBros pogs?
Answer:
Mose and I have ‘Mania week pretty wide open. The plan is to get there on Wednesday and come back to Nashville on Saturday. The only thing we’re locked in for right now is Family Reunion. Thought we’d leave plenty of time open to try and pin down some interviews/content, see old friends, and more or less keep us from being tied down. The last thing I’d want is to miss out on content opportunities (or sleep) because we have tickets to a show. Feels like, at least in my opinion, that flexibility allows for more things to happen naturally. We’ll see. And, that applies to wrestling and non-wrestling related content, by the way.
SoBros POGS – holy shit. Our logo is perfect for a pog. Do you know anyone that still makes them? Feels like this would be a huge hit.
Question:
Jesse’s question was what I was going to ask.
— Steven McCash (@MC_Cash75) March 7, 2019
Who do you feel would be the best fit to replace Trebek when the time comes?
Answer:
Man, that’s such a tough question, Steven. Alex Trebek just has this unfounded blend of charm, charisma, and debonair that I can’t think of anyone similar off the top of my head. I would say someone in The Daily Show vein – Jon Stewart…Stephen Colbert…I don’t know. Even with guys like that, there’s not the moxie that Trebek had. Re-casting the host of Jeopardy is almost like re-casting James Bond because of Trebek’s aura.
Question:
Has there ever been discussions about a SoBros Movie or at least a day in the life of the SoBros video? If not make it happen!
— WKRN Brent Remadna (@RemadnaWKRN) March 8, 2019
Answer:
Yeah, Brent – both, actually! Of all the things we do, I’d say production days are the most difficult. It’s just hard to get everyone’s schedules pinned down so that everyone we need for a big time production is available. We’re working on getting the equipment to do so. We’ve written a couple of outlines – believe it or not, all of the projects we’ve discussed so far have been horror films.
We also have a ‘Meet the SoBros’ series in the pipeline for 2019 that is meant to be a sort of ‘get to know us’ or ‘day in the life’ type of piece. Keep an ear to the ground!
Question:
What about a SoBros Field Day? I’m thinking Dodge Ball, 4 Square maybe even a Potato Race.
— Steven McCash (@MC_Cash75) March 8, 2019
Answer:
We’ve thought of a lot of things, but this is one we haven’t thought, so congrats for that, Steven. I love the idea of a Field Day – might be good for the summer lull when people are usually out and about and the content numbers slow down. We’ll have to put a pin in this one.
Question:
How about what it is like standing in line for two hours waiting on hot chicken at one of the popular spots?
— The Bacon GuRoux ن (@BaconGuRoux) March 8, 2019
Answer:
I actually have a really weird hang-up with waiting in line. Typically, I won’t do it for anything. You could tell me, “Stoney, there’s a million dollars (USD) at the end of this line with a two-hour wait,” and I’d probably pass.
That’s probably a bit of an exaggeration, but you get what I’m saying. I wouldn’t know. I have literally settled for sub-par hot chicken because I DIDN’T want to wait in line at one of the Mount Rushmore Nashville hot chicken establishments.
Question:
If you could get two current and two former @Titans to join your staff, who would they be?
— Kenneth Goit (@KennethGoit) March 8, 2019
Answer:
Of this team, I go Taylor Lewan and Adoree Jackson. Lewan’s track record with comedy speaks for itself, but some might not realize what a sneaky sense of humor Jackson has. If Dennis Kelly could defeat The Undertaker, he’d definitely have a spot on the team, too.
Former Titans – whew, that’s a tough one, KG. I’m gonna go with Pacman Jones first, just for the stories. Can you imagine? If Pacman was a SoBro, someone on the team would end up dead at a strip club…so, maybe I should walk this one back.
The other one? LenDale White. Definitely LenDale White.
Question, from E on Instagram:
What’s your favorite part of the mall and why is it the container store?
Answer:
FUCKING. LOVE. THE. CONTAINER. STORE. My favorite part of the mall, though, is the cigar stand in Opry Mills. Gets me every time, whether I have a million cigars in my humidor or not.
Question:
Follow up question…is it possible to go to a mall without grabbing some Auntie Anne’s pretzels?
Answer:
It’s very possible. I do it all the time. And, that’s not a knock on Auntie Anne’s – for my money, they have the best pretzel in the entire pretzel game. But, I’m just not a big snack guy when it comes to my mall trips. More often than not, mall trips either begin or end with a big meal. So, I usually find myself either full or not wanting to spoil my appetite. If I walk around the mall with anything, chances are, it’s going to be a cup of coffee, but that’s about it.
Question, from Olivia on Instagram:
What shows are you currently binging?
Answer:
Nothing! I haven’t binged a show since You in January and that was terrible. I don’t usually consume a lot of TV. When I’m not working, I like to put on a movie in the background and read. Right now, I’m working on a killer piece of nonfiction about Dodge City, Kansas in the wild wild west.
Question:
If you had to replace the catfish, what aquatic creature would you smuggle under your balls into Bridgestone arena to throw at a man holding a stick?
— Dom Oxenham-Morris – Tunes to the bime (@doxom85) March 8, 2019
Answer:
I’m going to go with an electric eel and hope that thing zaps some feeling back into my taint. I haven’t felt nothin’ down there since my accident in 1965.
Question:
What is sobrosnetwork?
— po farmer (@jr_womack) March 8, 2019
Answer:
Po farmer, I really feel this on a spiritual level. I’m also glad that this is the question that put over the edge and officially made this the biggest mailbag to date.
What is SoBros Network? What are we even doing here?
If you want a serious answer, we are a multi-faceted media company with a website, podcast network, and social media portfolio that covers the Nashville lifestyle, Nashville sports, the entertainment industry, and viral cat videos.
If you want the truth, we’re just a bunch of dicks (but we’re not assholes – there’s a difference. We’re trying to be a positive force in the world) trying to make it as entertainers.
Question:
How awesome was our podcast the other night? Also, what’s your go to meal? Something you could eat any time of the day, week, month or year? Mine is my Mom’s green chili and enchiladas.
— Armondo (@mightymondo) March 8, 2019
Answer:
That was legit some of the most fun I’ve had podcasting. I gotta give it to you guys – it’s difficult to get a good show when all three parties are in separate rooms, but you guys were aces. One of my favorite shows I’ve ever done!
As for my go-to meal – pad thai…easy. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner…all three meals for seven days in a row and I wouldn’t get tired of it. The unequivocal king of food in the book of Stoney Keeley.
