The SoBros Mailbag: 49th Edition – The Perfect Valentine’s Day and Cook Out Tray

Share This Post

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, use #SoBrosMailbag to hit us up on Twitter.

Question:

Answer:

The obvious answer here is Kofi Kingston.

But, if we’re talking about food…..well, I don’t know if it’s technically Jamaican….but Caribbean….does that count? Let’s count it – there’s this place out in Lebanon called the Voodoo Smokehouse, and fuck me if it ain’t one of the best BBQ joints in town. It’s not the traditional BBQ joint in the south – you definitely get the Caribbean influence and flavor.

I’d recommend starting with the Beach Bum Sampler.

Question:

Answer:

Well, the SoBros First Lady and I established a tradition several years ago – just dinner and a movie. Simple enough – we agree upon a movie, go to a nice dinner, and that’s it. I couldn’t ask for a better Valentine’s Day. There’s no pressure, and as a guy who thinks Valentine’s Day is generally just a hoax made up to promote commercialism (in other words, Valentine’s Day fucking sucks), that simplicity makes me happy.

Question:

Answer:

Depends on the time of year – no matter what, there’s gonna be an ice cold by God Cheerwine on the table. If it’s cold outside, I’m going chili. If not, I’m going corndog. Always gotta have the hush puppies – a totally underrated side on the Cook Out menu. Finally, the cornerstone of the meal is going to be a burger. If I’m feeling crazy, I MIGHT tack on an order of onion rings. And a boner – there’s definitely going to be a boner at the table.

Question:

Answer:

I can’t say that I have, but now that the idea’s in my head, you can bet I’m going to be crossing my fingers before I go to bed every night from now on.

Question:

Answer:

Question:

Answer:

BUSTED!

No, but seriously – I have a business operations (BizOps!) background. My specific title at the current day job is Electronic Data Interchange Specialist. That’s a nice way of saying I look at spreadsheets. Before this, I worked as a Compliance Operations Specialist for Lyft. I did ops work for ServiceSource. At one point, I was Production Manager for a company that made hand-made leather journals.

The thing is, if I applied myself to the business world half as much as I do to SoBros Network, I’d probably be a lot higher up in one of these companies.

Instead, I just go to work every day, do my job, keep my head down, try to show as little personality as possible, and hope no one Googles “Stoney Keeley” – ’cause let’s face it. It ain’t like there’s a whole corps of Stoney Keeleys out there. I’m the only one I know of, and I’m definitely the only one making dick jokes and acting like an ass on the internet.

The San Francisco companies knew about and were okay with SoBros Network. I’m not so sure the more professional companies would be.

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