Keith Morrison has one of those dreamy, deep radio voices. For Valentine’s Day, “Dateline” shot a video of the NBC News correspondent literally reading the phone book out loud.

Watch the video below. Close your eyes and enjoy — you could even win some sweet “Dateline” swag. Because there’s nothing sexier than a branded coffee mug.

Let's get real. Valentine's Day is the one holiday we all love to hate. 

If you're single, it's just a day to remind you that you're single, and if you're in a relationship, it's a Pepto Bismol-colored consumerization of your love.
