If you yourself are interested in the this sort of "cocktail party" babble, you might check out this link to an exhibit at the Berlinische Galerie, a modern art museum in Berlin: http://www.berlinischegalerie.de/ausstellungen/aktuell/ibb-v... (Sorry it's in German.) The artist recorded party chatter, then broadcast it from various clothed mannequins stationed around a large room. It's kind of neat.

Strange text. (Bad transcription?) The writer heard "mind(s)" instead of "hands", possibly. And what is " ... the offers that you're making to try to close them" - is "close" the right word? Close a deal with them????
It does seem to be about using the interview to create an ad - but an ad for what? What audience (parents and kids?) are we talking about here? What is the product/offer?

It would be great to know the overall purpose of the interview/presentation with parent and child.

Looking at a bigger slice of text, I think the mashup is: these people have a lot of time "on their hands" and they use it to think and reflect. The writer is suggesting recording all these thoughts and reflections and then editing them down into commercial spots.

"I have a funny feeling if you record the whole presentation, at point, with parent and child,
you transcribe it, you edit it down, including the offers that you're making to try to close them, and
you just basically do three or four of those, you'll have the greatest ad you've ever seen in your life.
Add a call to action and an offer that's irresistible.
You've got all these people with a lot of time on their mind, who probably reflectively are
very passionate about certain things, and I think talking to a lot of your guests and recording it
would be a very valuable process, because I think they'll have key descriptive graphic phraseologies
that will come across that will give you some really interesting insights
Do you have a video? You should have a video to send out. That just seems natural. You
should make a video. The video can be your cable ad, and your cable ad can be your video.

I think we need more context to make sense of this mixed metaphor. Can you tell us more about the nature of the text. Also, it refers to talking to your guests to gain insight. Are these guests at a hotel? a school? or some type of event? That context would be helpful, I think.
