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:

Answer:

It has been exactly what I expected so far. But, Aura and I took a bit of an atypical route to our marriage. We’ve been together since August of 2011, living together since April of 2013. We didn’t get married until last May. So, we took our time (too much time if you ask her) focusing on our careers, living together for nearly a decade before I even popped the question. Needless to say, there were no surprises after our wedding day. We’ve had this shit down for years.

Question:

Answer:

Needs to improve upon: throwing across his body and forcing balls (though it’s really hard to blame the guy for trying to generate a spark and make a play), sensing pressure and throwing the ball away, and not keying in on certain receivers (though this may be a coaching issue).

Already make him special: pure, raw arm talent, deep ball accuracy, tight window throws

Question:

Answer:

Because.

Question:

Answer:

  1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
  2. The Polar Express
  3. Disney’s A Christmas Carol (the weird ass CGI Jim Carrey version)

Question:

Answer:

  • Best: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
  • Worst (and most overrated): A Christmas Story
  • Die Hard can be a Christmas movie if you want it to be, but it is not to me.
  • I love Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
  • THE essential Thanksgiving movie: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Question:

Answer:

One of these days, I’m going to grow the balls to take a stab at beef wellington.

Question:

Answer:

This might be a bit of a hot take, but I think turkey is super overrated. I always go for the ham on our table. The best is the dressing to me. I can eat a plate of that stuff alone.

Question:

Answer:

It doesn’t, and oddly enough, I find myself interchanging the two terms for no good reason. Sometimes, I say “stuffing” and other times I say “dressing.” I have no idea why. And, man, I LOVE me some jellied cranberry sauce. To me, that’s the only cranberry sauce that will do.

Question:

Answer:

I hate to sound corny, but it’s the friends I’ve made along the way. Some of you guys are great to talk to and are generally hilarious people, and it makes all the nonsense worth it.

Question:

Answer:

Literal assholes? Don’t touch ’em. They’re gross. Asshole people? I usually do my best to avoid them. I just let them be assholes and I go on about my business. I’m pretty good at ignoring people. Every now and then, I’ll throw a little snark back at someone if they’re being particularly bothersome and won’t go away. But, by and large, I pick my battles and let assholes roll right off my back. If it keeps progressing, then yes, I will eventually punch one though. That’s only happened three times in my entire life.

Question, from Maddux on Instagram:

If your cat looked at you and talked, what do you think he would say? And, would you tell anyone?

Answer:

He would most likely say “give me some food, bitch.” But, I don’t think I would actually believe it. I would probably gaslight myself into thinking I’m crazy, never say another word of it, and definitely never tell anyone. It would just be a moment in my head.

Question, from Sean on Instagram:

When’s the last time you thought of the Roman empire?

Answer:

You mean before you asked me this and me think of the Roman empire? Idk when all the Roman empire memes were going around, for sure.

Keep the questions coming – catch y’all next week!
