1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda jam.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 2: Nation down to the Jonesy demounter of arms for the

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: pub test today. Headphones at work? Do they pass the

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 2: pub test?

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: What the people started wearing these when they're walking from

6
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: home to working from home to block out all the noise,

7
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: and now people are wearing them in the office. Is

8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: it okay? The etiquette advisor for the Bretts, which is

9
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: the British Etiquette Bible, has said, if you work in

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: an open plan office where there's frequent conversation and interchange

11
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: of ideas between colleagues, don't wear air pods or headphones.

12
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: What about you see someone wearing those massive, big headphones.

13
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: It is slightly antisocial. At the same time, sucko. We

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: now have these big open plan officers. If you want

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: to actually get some work done, maybe you need to zone.

16
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: You see someone wearing those and you get a real

17
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: f off vibe about it, don't you.

18
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well maybe they're noise counseling too.

19
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're seeing walking around here, Well, clearly we're not

20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: engaging in any sort of conversation.

21
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: And that person maybe has a really important day of

22
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: work ahead of them and doesn't care about the conversation

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: or having a chat to someone, or contributing to someone's

24
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: birthday gift, or hearing all the gossip. I don't know.

25
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: How do you feel headphones at work? Do they pass

26
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: the pub test?

27
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: I work from home and at work the only time

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: we have the earphone genius for meetings and stuff like that,

29
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: so you need to engage with your work base and

30
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: it's a real connection. And also we listen to the WSFM.

31
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 4: Yes, it does past the.

32
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: Pub test definitely.

33
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 5: I work in an office that's not a big office,

34
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 5: but it is open planet.

35
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: There's multiple people's set and it's our social.

36
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 5: Area, and there is no way I would get it

37
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 5: done out headphones, and my boss encourages us wear headphones

38
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 5: is where it's signed to concentrates on others.

39
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: Then it goes past the pub test well, because some

40
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: jobs are so boring that you need to keep entertained

41
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: some way, and I reckon music helps them. Absolutely passes

42
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 4: the pub test, especially if you're my colleagues, because I

43
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: sing all day and I'm so annoying and they all

44
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 4: block me out with their headphones, and I'm not offended

45
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: at all.

46
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: I can see why that's happened.

47
00:01:58,960 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: Not like the dream.

48
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: Fact everyone he wears headphones.

49
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: Actually we do. That's how we zone in.

50
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: That's what it's all about. Thank you for your calls.
