1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation with Jones.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: Let's get on down to the Jonesy and man of

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: arms for the pub test and today calling people out

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: of the blue does it pass the pup test. I

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: was reading an article by Clarissa By and I really

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: really resonated with me because there was an old days

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: when you just ring someone that you haven't spoken to

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: for ages and you just have a bit of a

9
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 2: gas bag. But now you almost have to sort of

10
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: test the waters by having a text first and say

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: are you available for a chat? Or when can I

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: call you? And I'll say, oh yeah, maybe a bit

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: later on this afternoon or something like that.

14
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: No one likes it. Well, I thought it was just me.

15
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: People don't like to talk on the phone anymore. I

16
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: love this. Someone said older generations need to realize that

17
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: calling me on the phone out of the blue is

18
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: the same thing as showing up at my house unannounced

19
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: brandishing a firearm. The knock of the door now is alarming.

20
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: We've moved beyond that to an unsolicited phone call is alarm.

21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: Remember the days when the poppy and people are just

22
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: popping around your house.

23
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: This is the new version of that. How do you

24
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: feel about calling people out of the blue.

25
00:00:59,160 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 3: Do you like it?

26
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: Do you hate it?

27
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: That's the pub test today.

28
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Who doesn't like a call? No way?

29
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: If someone calls me out of the blue, I think

30
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: something's wrong, send me a checks.

31
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 4: First parts of the pub test. Absolutely, and I do

32
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: do it all the time. However, I have a friendship

33
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 4: group that has a very wide a strange and I

34
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 4: find that right. Millennials and younger just don't answer on

35
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: the call.

36
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: So it does. I call my cousins out of the blue.

37
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 3: I call my friends out of the blue all the time,

38
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: and they call me all the time just to have

39
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: a chat because you want to shoot the breathe. And

40
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: it's been a sad day when that stopped happening. Because

41
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: if our mental healthy suits these days, it's important that

42
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: we do just call each other the blue. See how

43
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: we're going.

44
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: Qualker, Susie Quacker, Oh, yeah.

45
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: Like Susie Quatro.

46
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Susi Quacker. Well it's like a suzuki in a calasa.

47
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Oh I see, some of these have to be explained

48
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: to me. Yes, I thought first, had said Lucy Clacker,

49
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: that'd be a good one. Lucy Clacker
