Sometimes, when my Dad calls on the phone, he sounds like he has something very important to say. I expect him to say that he (or my mom) got a bad report from a Doctor. Then, he suddenly says " Here's Mom, " and I realize he's in an all-out attempt to change her mood (with a phone hi.) I can go maybe 15 minutes (tops.) That's actually a long time to act interested. I'm exhausted when it's done, but she feels better.
