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, email ’em to me anonymously at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com.

Question:

Answer:

I’m going:

  1. Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters, “Mele Kalikimaka”
  2. Bobby Helms, “Jingle Bell Rock”
  3. Trans-Siberian Orchestra, “Wizards in Winter” 

Now, I’m not going to publicly state that it’s time to turn on the Christmas music just yet – give me at least a week or so to decompress and reflect upon Spooky Season. Then, it’s full-on go time. I’ll probably be firing up the Christmas tunes beginning next week.

But, as evidence by my selections, I’m a big fan of the old time Christmas classics. I don’t need all the hip new remakes….just give me the Christmas anthems of yesteryear. That’s the shit that takes me back to simpler times, and it really amplifies the spirit of the holidays for me.

Question:

Answer:

How could you possibly forget Fran Drescher?!?!

She catches a lot of shit, but I’m gonna tell you what, Cadbury – I had a full-on “thing” for The Nanny when I was a young man. She had a fastball that no one wants to admit to. She brought the heat back in her day. I’ll never forget that. Don’t let the haters get to you – she brought it.

Side note: Trisha Butler on the Scoop Wilson and Scoop Clarksville morning shows does a killer Fran Drescher impression. Gotta check those guys out if you aren’t already.

Question:

Answer:

It’s been a fucking week. Actually, it’s been a fucking couple of weeks.

This is all you gotta say, E. You just drop that on me and I’m like, “yeah….I know.”

I’m exhausted. I’m stressed out. I’m spread thin. I feel like I’m on the verge of a total collapse. We just gotta get through it – and we GONNA get through it.

It’s #GinFriday.
