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:
Why does it look like you have a dongle sticking out of the bottom of your foot? Are you an android? Are you recharging?
— Ed (@seebellytweet) September 5, 2024
Answer:
I have been exposed as a Fembot.*
*it’s the stripe on my gym shorts.
Question:
Bourbon or Rye?
— OKC Titan (@OKC_Titan) September 5, 2024
Answer:
I’m a gin guy through and through, but given those two options, I’m a bourbon guy all day. Bourbon plays better in the cooler months, and nothing beats sitting around a bonfire with a glass of bourbon neat. Buffalo Trace is my go-to drinkin’ bourbon.
Question:
Why does media like PK and you can't say because he's been do it forever. Colin cowherd and Skip Bayless have also and they both suck also.
— Dan Scraggins (@danscrog) September 6, 2024
Answer:
I can’t say I’ve ever quite understood the PK hate if I’m being honest, Dan. If someone doesn’t like the way he covers the team, there are plenty of alternative options. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I can say why I like PK. I appreciate that he’s going to call it like he sees it. He’s not biased about this team. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. He’s not afraid to press and ask tough questions. But, he also takes his responsibility to his subscribers seriously and provides reporting and content of value for my hard-earned dollar. In this day and age of hot takes and clickbait, I trust PK’s coverage of the Titans. To me, that trust is more important than sheer entertainment value. I’m not trying to throw shade at people for enjoying it, but it’s why I go to sources like PK instead of First Take to begin with.
Question:
What should I drink this weekend while I watch football. Not picky, will drink anything and everything. I want the Stoney special
— Grizzler (@GrizzWizz24) September 5, 2024
Answer:
The ‘Stoney Special’ for game days 10-12 years ago would’ve been an entire bottle of whiskey mixed with coke before switching to light beer all night. I can’t go that hard. These days, at 38 years old, I pick a nice rich Oktoberfest, buy a sixer, and crush it over the course of the entire day – if you can get ahold of it, try Sierra Nevada’s Oktoberfest. This year’s brew is the Gutmann collab and it’s fantastic. One of the best Oktoberfests I’ve had in some time.
Question:
Is Huxley your new best friend in the Lyons household?
— Goody (@real_goody) September 5, 2024
Answer:
I would die for Huxley. Let’s establish that first. That said, I can’t get on a podcast and talk about the Titans for an hour every Wednesday night. Therefore, I cannot say he’s my BEST friend in the Lyons household.
Question:
1) Are turtles truly “nature’s ‘D’ student” as Stewie suggests in Family Guy?
— Eldon English (@shrike113) September 5, 2024
2) When is too early to decorate for Halloween (just letting you know we have our 12 ft skeleton and his 5 ft dog up already).
3) Is a pickleback shot the most underrated shot combo?
Answer:
- …
- Do your thing, man. I say do what makes you happy. We put the fall decor out two weeks ago…haven’t gone Halloween yet, but there’s no judgment here if you want to go for it. Life’s too short to live by society’s expectations of us.
- I can’t say I’ve ever had one. I can’t bring myself too. Might have to set up a camera and do one for content.
