Explain to your boss that it's slowing down your work to have to take these calls. If your boss is fine with that, get in writing, ie. over email so you can't be blamed for low productivity later. Now it's not your problem.
If your boss isn't fine with it impacting your work then get permission to decline these calls with "sorry I'm busy with my own work, please put something in my calendar." Use your busy/available status in your calendar to manage when they can schedule these calls.
