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 Cadbury:
Do you find it odd we still measure vehicle power in amounts of horses?
Answer:
You know, we get so caught up in our day-to-day lives that we don’t stop to think about these sorts of things. So, first of all Cad, thank you for bringing this back to our collective attention. I think it’s an important question for us to ask. I do think it’s odd that we still measure vehicle power in number of horses. I’m a big fan of standardization, so I think if we’re going to stick with this method, we should measure everything by number of horses. It would just make it a lot easier to track. This engine has 100,000 horse power? Cool. This t-shirt would fit 1/8th of a horse? Cool. That recipe needs 1/164th of a horse’s worth of curry powder in it? Great. This is the future I want to build.
Question, from Livvy:
FMK: Mexican Food, Italian Food, Asian Food
Answer:
Yikes. This is undoubtedly the hardest FMK I’ve had yet. Asian food and Mexican food make for two of my favorite comfort meals. I eat each at least once a week, and it’s difficult to call…I think I probably enjoy Asian food more, but eat Mexican more often. I love Italian food too – but it’s going to be easy to kill in this conversation…all the rich tomato sauce gives me acid reflux anyway, so it’s probably better for me to take it out of the equation here. Ultimately, I think I’m going to marry Asian food. My guts will hate me, but I can’t live a life without pad Thai in it. I’ll fuck the shit out of some Mexican food.
Question:
There have been some great movies based on board games(Clue) and some that sucked(Battleship). What board game do you think would make a great movie?
— Steven McCash (@MC_Cash75) August 19, 2021
Answer:
First of all, you totally blew my mind last weekend when you told me that Clue was filmed with a few different endings and each was shown at a different spot. I feel like the people need to know about this. I never saw Battleship, but I’ll say that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a positive review of it. You know what I want? Give me a creepy ass Tim Burton version of Candy Land.
Question:
What ever happened to Bromondo!? I haven’t heard from @ArmondoWKRN in months? Have y’all seen him!?
— Nabil Brent Remadna KXAN (@RemadnaKXAN) August 20, 2021
Answer:
I have absolutely no idea, Brent. He is too good for us now that he has become the greatest drone videographer in Nashville. We’re still rooting for the return of Bromondo’s Big Friday one of these days.
Question:
Are you enjoying your Applebee’s? Looks like bourbon street chicken and shrimp…
— TangentBoundNetwork (@TangentBoundPC) August 20, 2021
Answer:
Nailed it – that IS Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp. My fiancé and I hit that 2 for $27 with the Dwayne Johnson tequila margaritas, and it didn’t miss. I ALWAYS enjoy my Applebee’s. People think it’s a bit here on SoBros Network, and maybe it is to a certain extent. I’ll at least say that yeah, we do kinda lean into the humor of it all. But, there’s a real genuine opinion at the root of it that Applebee’s stays slept on. Every time I’ve been recently to the one over in the Berry Hill area (the only one left around Nashville), it’s delivered. Fresh hot food, solid drinks, great value. I’ll ride or die with Applebee’s for the rest of my life.
