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. And, holy shit, I need to update this terrible intro paragraph that I’ve been using literally ever since I started writing this column…
Question:
What is a fact about you that others might be shocked to learn?
— Steven McCash (@MC_Cash75) April 15, 2021
Me: I strongly dislike the song “Purple Rain”
Answer:
First of all, I need to catch my bearings here because reading that just about caused me to faint. I can’t and won’t believe that about you, Steven McCash.
I feel like I’ve told people that I can hand-stitch a leather journal and am decent at manual bookbinding before, so I’ll try to think of something different here. I’ve also kinda turned my passion for Yankee Candle into a bit here on SoBros Network, so I don’t feel like that’s a real revelation anymore. “I’m left-handed” doesn’t sound very shocking…so, let’s see. How about this….I have been told that this surprises people that actually get to know me. I am an only child. Don’t get me wrong – I can be selfish about certain things, but by and large, I have a pretty generous disposition, so I’ve been told I “don’t act like an only child at all” several times throughout my life. *shrugs*
Question:
Explain your love of hotels compared to Airbnb’s.
— Lady May Queen (@brittbutspooky) April 16, 2021
Answer:
I would be happy to, Brittany. I absolutely love hotels. I love the way they smell – like everything in that bitch is bleached to death once or twice a day. My brain associates it with vacation, so it doesn’t matter if I’m staying in a room that’s a mile from my literal home, or if I’m across the country in San Francisco. I want the hotel experience.
I know AirBnB is typically cheaper, but I don’t want to show up at someone else’s HOUSE. I don’t want to be respectful of someone’s actual things. If I want to throw my half-eaten french fries at the mirror, I want to throw my half-eaten french fries at the mirror. That’s the beauty of staying in a hotel. But seriously, I don’t quite understand why, but AirBnBs have always made me a little uncomfortable. Even when I worked for a company in the San Francisco tech scene and had to fly out there once a quarter or whatever, I would TRY to get the hotel rooms even though we were told to get AirBnBs. People would talk about their scenic AirBnBs with beautiful views of the city and their hosts that would cook them breakfast in the morning, and I’d be like, “yeah, but the Holiday Inn I’m at...”
I don’t know – I’ve just always loved hotels. I might go stay in one this weekend just because.
Keep the questions coming – catch y’all next week!
