dug up: interview with Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve Software

Back in April 2004, myself, my brother, and some friends decided to interview Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve Software, on the phone. We had somehow acquired Newell's home phone number, and we were all sort of zonked (or, at least I was), so we decided to wish him a happy 4/20. I recently dug up the transcript (written on a napkin) of our conversation:

wife: hello?
LC: May I speak to Gabe Newell please?
wife: Just a second...
Gabe: hello?
LC: Hi, this is Jeff Johnson with losercoalition.net, and we just want to wish you a happy 4/20.
Gabe: happy 4/20?
LC: yeah, a happy 4/20!
Gabe: ok...
Gabe: hey what was the name of your website?
LC: losercoalition.net
Gabe: Who's your friends? In the background?
LC: that's Austin, Chuck, Brittany, Jerrod and Tommy.
Gabe: cool, alright.
LC: well I'll let you go.
Gabe: ok, bye.
LC: have a good one.
