Speaker
Hi everyone, welcome to the Trivia Twins podcast. I'm Andi. And I'm Dani, we'll be your hosts. Each week we quiz each other on a different, get-related topic. Think sweet and spicy.
00:00:25
Speaker
Or heroes and villains. This week the theme is board games and game shows. Yes, definitely a fun topic. Growing up, we played a lot of board games.

Dani's Game Show Audition Experience
00:00:42
Speaker
And we watched a lot of game shows. That is is like my dream to be on a game show. Yes, that's right. Didn't you audition for a game show once?
00:00:49
Speaker
I did. it was it was a few years ago. I don't even know if anybody would know the name of the game show. I won't say. But yeah, some casting director reached out to me on LinkedIn and I had a call with her did really well in that first call but then during the audition my mind went blank because I was so nervous when I first met with him he um Like the mailman came to his door and his dog was barking. And I think that threw me off. I remember one of the questions was something like, which or which celebrity has the most followers on Instagram?
00:01:22
Speaker
And I think it was multiple choice. It was like Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner, and I don't even – I think I said Selena Gomez and I think that was wrong. But anyway, didn't get a call back. really That's what I would have guessed too.
00:01:35
