Gather 'round. This week's SoBros Mailbag is here.

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…

This edition of the SoBros Mailbag is brought to you by Memo’s Mexican Kitchen in Mount Juliet, Tennessee! Memo’s offers a fresh, modern take on the Mexican restaurant just a mile north of I-40 off of the Mount Juliet exit. For my money, they cook up the best quesabirria in town! Check out the full menu on their website and let ’em know SoBros Network sent you.

Question:

Answer:

Absolutely not. I love my hair too much, and honestly, I’m going to be a fan of the Titans win, lose, or draw, for the rest of my days. So, it doesn’t mean THAT much to me personally.

Question:

Answer:

It’s an interesting question, Zach. Mainly because I don’t think Radunz was this coaching staff’s first choice at right guard to begin with! If Saahdiq Charles doesn’t retire, I’m highly curious as to what Radunz’s place on this roster would look like. That said, he’s clearly cemented himself as the starter. I think if he wants to avoid being replaced, he needs to more consistently hit his marks when pulling and climbing to the second level. That’s going to be of paramount importance under Bill Callahan, and I felt like there were times this preseason when he whiffed in space. He has the athleticism. He moves well. He’s powerful enough. He’s a good prospect that can develop into a solid guard if he cleans up some of the targeting/assignment stuff.

Question:

Answer:

Dude, we, as a society, gotta stop acting guilty for liking Sam Adams products. I know it’s basic ass bitch stuff, and people tend to frown upon that. But, let’s acknowledge that it’s just a damn good beer! Sam Adams makes damn good beer! No, it’s not the trendy underground brewery that only you have heard of. I get that. But, let people enjoy what they enjoy! I didn’t mean to take this discussion that far, but I get riled up thinking about the Sam Adams hate. Their Oktoberfest hits the right Earthy tones every Oktoberfest should, but it doesn’t sacrifice the signature Sam Adams drinkability.

Question:

Answer:

For sure, Grizzler – I’ve always been a cat guy. Cats are just more mellow in my opinion. They’re low maintenance. They like to keep you company but they’re not going to be all up in your personal space. I love that my cat hops up in the chair next to me and just sits and curls up all day, occasionally booping me for food, a pet on the head, or signaling that he wants to play with his toy mouse for a bit. That’s all it takes! They’re not constantly seeking my attention!

I also think you build a deeper bond with a cat because you do sort of have to earn their respect. Once you do though, there’s nothing like that bond. My guy follows me everywhere I go. He’s greeting me at the door when I get home with a polite meow instead of jumping up all over me like some savage. I don’t have to clean up his piss or shit, and I don’t have to walk him either.

Finally, dogs slobber like crazy and that gives me the ick. Have some decorum…some respect…pull yourself together. Show some class for once in our dog lives.

Question:

Answer:

I think you nailed this one, Ed – there aren’t a lot of options for cut NFL players, and it’s a day when almost half the league gets the axe. Sure, there’s now the UFL, and there’s the CFL, where a player can go and develop, hopefully hanging onto the dream for a little while longer, but how often does that truly happen? It’s not frequent. So, it really feels like once you’re cut from an NFL roster, that’s it, and I don’t think that’s the case in the other sports.

Question:

Answer:

You know, Jacob…my issues with the Star Wars franchise probably have more to do with the fan base than the actual product. The lore has passed me by – that’s for sure – because it feels like there’s a million different products to consume these days. But, I can’t keep up with the fan base that can be so fickle. I say that to say that even though I love the Marvel properties, I’m trending that way with the MCU too. Something about it just annoys me when someone brings it up in 2024. I’m not ready to end it yet, but I can’t help but notice these feelings bubbling up inside of me.

As for worlds I’d like to see revived or brought to the screen for the first time, I’d say “DC,” but we’re getting that under James Gunn. I’m stoked to see how that plays out, but it’s coming so that feels like a bit of a copout answer. We just have to be patient. There were rumblings a few years back about Universal putting together a ‘monsters universe’ featuring all the classic monsters – Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, the wolf man, creature from the black lagoon, etc.. I’m 100% on board with that idea. Hope someone makes it happen!

Question:

Answer:

It’s the plain ol’ soft taco from Taco Bell. I’ll eat seven of them thangs.

Question:

Answer:

Man, I might take my chances with the Jared Letos. Brock Lesnar is a BAMF…enough so that I’d imagine 1 child size Brock Lesnar would be a BAMF too, much less 8!

Question:

Answer:

This is a tough one because it varies from week to week – subject to change, this is how I rank ’em right now:

  1. Dead Poets Society
  2. The Departed
  3. Midnight In Paris
  4. Drive
  5. The Hateful Eight
  6. Sideways
  7. The Wrestler
  8. The Lighthouse
  9. O Brother Where Art Thou
  10. No Country for Old Men

Some of the ones I haven’t seen but have on my list to watch at some point: Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, Casino, Back to the Future, and Scarface all immediately come to mind.

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