My Awkward Call with Linus

Posted (edited)

If you guys didn't realise, on one of the recent WAN shows, Linus accidentally peeps/flashes/shows his phone number. I just realised that today after watching the archive. I just wanted to call the number to see if it worked. I called and after some rings, someone said "Linus Speaking". I was like holy balls. Didn't expect that to work. I hang up without saying anything. Just a couple minutes ago, called him and talked to him. Here's how it went.

 

Linus: Linus speaking

Me: Hey. Just wanted to quickly let you know that on one of the recent WAN shows, you accidentally showed your mobile number.

Linus: *laugh* I know :)

Me: Cool, just wanted to make sure you knew. Thanks.

Me & Linus: bye.

CALL ENDS

 

awkward :0

Hey, just wanted to make sure he knew so he could change his number in case of any extreme situation. I just gained that he had a weird laugh and an awkward sense of humour. And I must respect the Great Linus so I will not be releasing his number.

So you think with the amount of people who saw his number on screen during the stream didn't already let him know via Twitter? I also know the mods and at least one LMG employee watches the stream, so I think he'd know.

Because I started reading it and it started to make little sense and I stopped. Also "accidentally peeps" makes sense after reading a few times now but didn't initially.

Good point. I really can't argue with that. But hey, better safe than sorry.

...but I can just watch the archive lol. I probably don't have the balls to actually call him, but I'll look out for it xD

 

Yay, you're the first person I've seen on LTT that lives in my area lol

Can you give me a timestamp of when it happened?  :ph34r:

Was thinking of that. Would have been rude and people already would have already called him, looking back.

I must respect Thy Linus. So sadly, no. The mods may come in here then anyways.

Lel. Hopefully this post doesn't blow up overnight. Linus would probably take this post really weirdly if he saw it.
