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, from RHog on Instagram:
You get covid again?
Answer:
It’s allergies, man. Between whatever is blooming right now, and the back and forth going on with the weather here, it is raging war on my sinuses. Last week, I had to back out of podcasting because my throat was wrecked, but I didn’t really feel all that bad. But, I went to Nectar on Tuesday night, didn’t realize the temperature had dropped, so I just wore shorts and flip flops. Lo and behold, we were seated outside, where I sat and shivered for two hours. Shocker: I woke up the next morning with a runny nose on top of an irritated throat. Just not a good combo. Or, hell – maybe I do have covid and am just shrugging it off as a common cold. I’m not a medical expert.
Question, from Steven on Facebook:
Paisley wants to know how you would handle life if you had to wear this damn cone for two weeks?
Answer:
First of all, let’s pour one out for Paisley here, who will be going THROUGH IT for the next two weeks. Hope she has a speedy recovery that isn’t too stressful on you guys.
As for me, if I had to wear that cone for two weeks, I would just sleep as much as possible. Less I’m awake, the less I’m thinking about the restrictions of that cone and how uncomfortable it probably is. I’m even chugging Nyquil to help me sleep and just hoping I wake up to see it all through.
Question:
Are you a circling back, checking in or touch base kind of guy? Or, all of the above
— Lady May Queen (@brittbutspooky) May 14, 2021
Answer:
All of the above depending on the situation. You can’t convey tone in a professional e-mail all that well, so you have to use different terms, and each of these is secretly coded with a charged message. Allow me to translate for the uninitiated:
- Circling back: “FUCK – I forgot about this…I know I said I’d do it sooner, but I’m just now getting around to it. I’ve done it now…”
- Checking in: “You said you were going to do this and I haven’t heard back. Where is it? WTF are you doing?”
- Touch base: “This was one of those things that wasn’t really important, but we both said we’d work on it and maybe we should actually get around to doing something about it.”
I use ‘checking in’ ALL THE FUCKING TIME at my day job.
Question:
If you had to eat one non-edible thing what would you eat? pic.twitter.com/LA1IVe90KB

Answer:
I think I’m going cardboard here – I believe my stomach can break it down enough for me to pass it without issue. My initial response was going to be something small and hard….like a marble….I just take a big gulp and swallow that bitch down quick without having an unpleasant taste or texture to deal with. But, then, I got to thinking about it coming out the back end, and I don’t know if that would feel too good. So, I do think I’d rather sacrifice a little bit of the ease of getting it down for the sake of actually being able to process it and eject it from my body painlessly.
Question:
If the vaccine gave you one super power, what would you pick?

Answer:
I still want flight, but I’m going to go with clairvoyance – if I’m able to predict the future, I’m going to be rich and never have to work a shitty day job another day of my life. Let’s build some wealth. Let’s help some people out. And, let’s take SoBros Network to the moon.
Question:
Titans/Saints 11/14. What are we betting?
— Steven McCash (@MC_Cash75) May 14, 2021
Answer:
We have time to think about it, but it’s an important question. The easy answer is a beer or dinner, but I think we can be a little more creative than that. Side note: we are planning a SoBros trip to Titans-Saints, so if you wanna get in on the fun with us, let me know so I can keep you informed throughout the planning process.
Keep the questions coming – catch y’all next week!
