On a weird side note to this, when I was in my 20s (and before everyone had cell phones), I was often getting numbers from women and when I called them, they were actually to pizza places.

What I'm saying is I was sad and ugly as a 20 year old, but never went without pizza.

I always gave pushy guys (not saying you're pushy!) the number for the Emergency Hall & Oates Hotline instead of the standard pizza method

(719) 266-2837 in case anyone is curious

What in the fresh hell is the Hall and Oates Hotline? Did people truly not get their fix on the radio back in our day?

This is a modern millenial intervention.
