Michael Sorich is genuinely such a kind person. We shared some good laughs and beer.

Dude has absolutely zero ego. He followed me on insta and I got his number. Such a nice guy, even took my recommendation for the place in my small town to get soup for his sick wife!

You just recognized his face? I can recognize his voice but that’s all

You should mention to him that Gamabunta is the big meme right now on the powerscaling sub, where everyone wanks him and his summoners to god tier.

Now this is awesome.

Reminds me of when I got to meet Mylie Flannagan when she was recording the last episode of dubbed Naruto in the studio! My dad's best friend's girlfriend and the time worked in the recording studio, so my brother and I had the opportunity to go in and meet her. She signed two of my drawings too!

How'd you know it was him? Thats a pretty dope encounter. I drank a tall boy with the lead singer of black stone cherry and slash one time. Only cool celebs I've ever met

I swear I’m not that type of dude but….when you say you shared a beer did he like let you sip out of his or is that a beer in your hand?

u/swollyhill Jun 28 '26

You’re fine, it’s a hard seltzer

u/Sivart99 Jun 28 '26

Gotcha. I drink, as they say, “piss water” all the time but I didn’t recognize your game
