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:
What deals do you normally look out for on Black Friday?
— Rooster (@SoBroRooster) November 22, 2019
Answer:
It depends on whether I need anything or not – like, I’ll be looking for bed sheets this year. I was looking for a TV a few years ago. A shop-vac in 2017. Stuff like that really cuts into the amount of money I can blow on useless shit just because it’s cheap.
But, if I don’t need anything in particular, then all bets are off – I love Black Friday. I just buy shit for the sake of buying it – Blu-Rays I bought years ago are still in the package. I’ve bought Christmas Vacation at least four times now. I’ve bought pocket knives on Black Friday…clothes…shoes…books…you name it, I’ve probably bought it on Black Friday.
Question:
What do you want for Christmas? And do you do Black Friday shopping?

Answer:
My big things I’m asking for this year are a nice decanter for muh whiskey, and some studio lights to make the SoBros Consumer Report and Hot Minute look juuuust a little bit more professional. Ramping up production value of podcasts/videos is going to be a big goal of mine in 2020.
I love the Black Friday stuff. It’s been a tradition of my family’s for as long as I can remember. We’ve even expanded it to include Thanksgiving night trips to Wal-Mart, basically just to people-watch. I’ll be up at 5AM and off to The Avenue in Murfreesboro to handle most of my business. I never bought in so hard that I fought the crowds camping out the night before or anything like that – but it is still a fun tradition I like to keep.

No.
Question:
What’s the funniest thing that’s happened at your thanksgiving?
— The General (@SoBroMose) November 26, 2019
Answer:
Funny you ask this because I actually wrote about it at length on our Patreon. I actually threw up a mouthful of corn sitting at the dinner table when I was a teenager. But, I didn’t want to just let it out all over the table, so I held it in my mouth until I could find relief. Here’s an excerpt:
So, I go sprinting back down the hallway, through the dining room, streaking past a table of onlookers who still aren’t sure what’s going on (some of my family members thought I was choking).
I fling open the back door, run clean across the back yard (the back yard was visible from the dining room. I didn’t want the visual of my throwing up to taint the Thanksgiving dinner), find myself behind my grandfather’s tool shed, and I just let it out.
Once I’m finally relieved of my situation, I look up and see the neighbor’s dog, immediately on the other side of the fence, just staring at me….as if to say, “kid, get your fucking life together.”

Question, from Olivia on Facebook:
Sock sock shoe shoe or sock shoe sock shoe?
Answer:
I am most definitely sock sock shoe shoe. Just reading sock shoe sock shoe is making me nervous. I can’t have one secured foot and one completely exposed food at the same time. Ever.
Question:
What’s on your all star menu lineup for thanksgiving dinner?
— Armondo (@mightymondo) November 27, 2019
Answer:
I’ll eat about three plates, for sure. I’m honestly not that big of a turkey guy, but I like the way it meshes with the stuffing and cranberry sauce, so I usually do put all three in the same spot on the first plate. My mom makes a killer ham, so I load up on that. As for the plain veggies, I’m piling on corn and stewed potatoes. Then, I’m loading up on green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole. My family also makes a pineapple casserole…which probably sounds gross as fuck to some people, but it’s so damn good. Some sort of concoction with pineapple, cheddar cheese, and crumbled Ritz crackers baked into a casserole. It’s so damn good.
Plate two, I’m going with more ham, more stuffing, and and more green bean casserole.
Plate three is just straight stuffing. I love the hell out of some stuffing.
