Does everyone remember back in the 80's the song, 867-5309? I'm sure you do. Matt Lauer was talking about onThe Today Show America the other day and I had to blog about it and his conversation.
First of all, when I lived alone back in the 90's, my phone number was 867-2309 and I kept thinking, why does that sounds so familiar. Then, it hit me that it was so close to the infamous 867-5309 song.
Back to the The Today Show. Matt gave 5 phone numbers that will change your life and I found them to be really interesting. They are:
1-866-MYTRAFC (698-7232)
You can call this toll free number and get any traffic delays. They say it is very detailed and so much better than what your radio gives you in their 10 second spot.
1-334-844-4244
Even though this number isn't toll free, it may be worth the money spent to verify a bet. This is a number to the Auburn Question line. It is answered by Auburn students and they will answer ANY question you have about ANY subject. Matt called them and in less than 5 seconds had the answer to, "What is Barbie's real name?".
1-800-QUITNOW (784-8669)
This number is to help you quit smoking. Not sure what they do over the phone; but hey, it's a toll free number and worth a try for anyone trying to quit.
1-866-411-SONG (7664)
Song stumped? Ever heard a song on the radio and just can't think of the name or anything and it just stays with you and bugs you all day. Well, you can call this number and sing parts of the song or hum the music and they will tell you the name and artist of the song. Been there, done that before!
1-415-989-SFSI (7374)
This is a sex question line and before you say it; they made sure to be clear that it isn't a porn line. It is answered by licensed, clinical people. They will help you with any sex question that you may have. It's supposed to be very professional.
I think some of the numbers could be very helpful in certain situations and maybe the toll free ones, I may try one day. Hope you enjoyed the info.
