Luke Johnson put his phone number on YouTube, and invited anyone to call him.
He has heard from over 55,000 people in a month! In an interview with CNN, he said the weirdest call so far was from an older guy who asked him if he was ticklish.
He also said that his favorite salutations are from the Brits because they end calls with a simple, “Cheers”.
I have been trying to call him all day, but I keep getting his automated message that says he is on the other line.
The thing that fascinates me, is that Luke Johnson is quickly becoming an interpersonal linguistics expert. Think about it, have you talked to over 50,000 people in your lifetime? I don’t think I have even come close to 20,000. This guy have accomplished this in a few weeks.
Also, he is also becoming a linguistics expert. People from all over the world have been calling him and telling him where they are from. Eventually, he will be able to distinguish different accents from all over the world.
Here is the number: 602.435.3694, give him a shout.
