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, hit us with those mailbag questions @SoBrosNetwork on Twitter.
Question:
What color are mirrors?
— Alex Verdugo Stan Account (@trtidwell) August 20, 2020
Answer:
I think the easy answer here is silver, ’cause that’s what color they are in art and stuff sometimes. Real thoughtful, I know – that’s just how deep my brain goes on a split second level.
But, there is a more complicated answer here – ‘clear’ is not a color, so you have to rule that out as an option. ‘Black’ would suffice because they made a TV show about black mirrors on Netflix. Or, you could talk about how mirrors reflect whatever color hits them, so it could be ‘rainbow’ as well.
Regardless, I appreciate you asking such a thoughtful question today and making all of SoBros Nation go “HMMMM.”
Question:
If each alcoholic drink took 10 mins off your life, how many drinks you having a week?
— sobrostan (@sobrostan) August 20, 2020
Answer:
Let’s do the math here real quick – as I’ve matured, I’m only having about 4-5 drinks a week. That’s….let’s say an average of 45 minutes off of my life each week. That’s 2,340 minutes a year, or 39 hours. The average life expectancy in the U.S. is 79 years (rounding up). So, let’s say I’m losing 39 hours a year and I have 45 years to live on this Earth.
That’s 1,755 hours, or 73.125 days.
You’re tellin’ me I could theoretically keep drinking the way I already am and it’d only cost me two and a half months? Fuck yeah – I’ll do it.
Also, worth noting that I’m not a math genius so this could be entirely wrong.
Question, from Olivia on Facebook:
Pumpkin or apple?
Answer:
This is a tougher question than it seems. I feel like people get caught up in the pumpkin craze because of what usually comes with it. I’m a big pumpkin fan, don’t get me wrong – but part of that, I’ll acknowledge, is just the excitement of fall, football, spooky season, the holidays, and cooler weather approaching.
If you take that out of the equation, I’m actually going apple here because it’s the much more reliable and consistent flavor.
Question, from Olivia on Facebook:
What brand is the elite toilet paper?
Answer:
Quilted Northern, Ultra Soft and Strong and it’s not even close for me.
Question, from Olivia on Facebook:
What is a grocery item you *have* to buy name brand (no generics)?
Answer:
Back in the day, it would be Coca-Cola, but I stopped drinking the heavy sodas quite a while ago.
The Tyson honey tenders immediately come to mind – nothing else will do. If they don’t have the honey tendies, I’m not buying anything else. I always like to keep an emergency bag of tendies in the freezer in case we get busy and can’t prepare lunch/dinner. But, if there’s no Tyson, then there will simply be no emergency tendies in the freezer.
Keep the questions coming – catch y’all next week!
