Not so much as you'd think. Try it. You'd be surprised.

You should write a blog post about that, with transcripts. I bet it'd get lots of attention and go viral.

See how easy it is to become famous? I just told you how :)

these days I'd be surprised if they even pick up in the first place. If I don't know you and I'm not expecting your call you get voicemail. Some folks basically never answer their phone because 'everyone I want to talk to knows to text me'.

I don't doubt you'll eventually reach someone who would stay on the line and chat a bit, but unless you're lucky it could take a while.
