Grandma Olga: Where do you live now? Your father told me you’re not in New York anymore?

Matt: I’m in Atlanta, GA.

Grandma: What are you doing there?

Matt: Well, short answer: still working in advertising.

Grandma: I saw a good television commercial the other day. It was for the all-you-can-eat buffet at Ponderosa. Did you do that advertisement?

Matt: No, I didn’t.

Grandma: That’s too bad. It was very clever.

Matt: [silence]

Grandma: I bet you’d make a lot more money if you did Ponderosa ads.

Matt: Maybe so, grandma.

Grandma: Do you make enough money to support a family?

Matt: Yeah. A copywriter can make a good living. But you know I like to work on creative side projects. Maybe one of those will turn into something.

Grandma: A copyrighter?

Matt: Yes.

Grandma: What do copyright? Any patents I know?

Matt: Nope.

Grandma: So, you didn’t do the clever Ponderosa ad and you don’t have any patents. Why are you in Atlanta again?

Matt: What do you say we  go to Ponderosa?

Grandma: Ooh! That would be lovely.

Jerry: So Rick, you work in advertising. You know, I’ve written a few jingles myself.

Rick: Yeah?

Jerry: I’ve even made youtube videos with family members acting them out.

Rick: Man, that sounds like fun.

Jerry: My mom told me that I have the magic. The magic of being creative.

Rick: You know, moms are never wrong.

Jerry: Even Youtube contacted me and asked if I would make more.

Rick: Man, that’s great.

Jerry: I was like, listen here Youtube, I’m my own man. My ideas ain’t for sale.

Rick: Yeah?

Jerry: Those fools always trying to steal a man’s magic.

Rick: Hey man, do you think you could hook me up with a TJ Maxx discount?

Jerry: Naw, the over-night manager watches me like a hawk.

Rick: Ok, that’s cool. Hey, I need to run. Take care man.

Jerry: Ok Rick, very nice to interview you. Do I get paid for this?
