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 Dom via personal text message:
Which is better – Suburban Commando or Thunder in Paradise, and why?
Answer:
I’m going with Thunder in Paradise, based on the premise that I know I’ve seen Suburban Commando a million times when I was a kid, but I don’t remember anything about it. At least with Thunder in Paradise, I can remember the excitement of watching some WCW pro wrasslin’, cheering on Hulk Hogan (in 1994, that was okay, alright? I’m not saying I proudly cheer on Hulk Hogan in 2022), and eagerly awaiting Thunder in Paradise firing up on TNT. I need to go back and rewatch Suburban Commando – I completely forgot that it existed. I’m sure it holds up just fine today…
Question:
This is gonna be so dope what's your idea cabin breakfast
— Ezekiel Motorola (@Xenoxands) August 11, 2022
Answer:
Oh my – fuck me UP on some cabin breakfasts. We had the best cabin breakfast I’ve ever had at my bachelor party. We did some eggs, bacon, and sausage. Ryan even cooked up some venison. I had a hot cup of coffee, and did some of the full English stuff – beans, tomatoes, mushrooms. That’s it for me. You can keep all of your pancakes and waffles. I want the meats (that’s what she said).
Question:
A very rational and decent proposal… what's everyone's number? I'll hang up and listen.
— Braden Gall (@BradenGall) August 11, 2022
Answer:
I don’t know what number you’re talking about, Braden. I can’t just post everyone’s phone number in the SoBros Mailbag on a Friday. I can’t ask the team how many people they’ve slept with. We don’t wear jerseys when we podcast or anything, but I can tell you that my favorite number is 44. I’ve also set the over/under on podcasts produced at the SoBros Content Retreat to 15. Hope this helps.
Question:
Another mailbag question:
— Dom “Warm Beer” Oxenham-Morris (@doxom85) August 12, 2022
What do you imagine is on the menu at 1977 World Best Business Name Champion ‘Paul’s Beef Bar’ ?
Answer:
This is, of course, in reference to this piece I wrote about Gatlinburg in 1977. In one of the photos, there’s an establishment named ‘Paul’s Beef Bar’ in the background that I didn’t catch, but nearly made me spit out my gin when I did notice it.
Well, Dom – we know there are hotcakes, country ham, and hot biscuits, but that doesn’t tell us what exactly the “beef” is at Paul’s Beef Bar, and it actually makes me even more nervous about ordering any off the menu. Like, what happens if you go there and say “I’ll have the beef“? Do they bring Paul out and have him lay into you? Is that the beef? I don’t know, Dom – beyond the biscuits and ham, I don’t think I even want to think about what else is on the menu.
