Speaker 2: Enough about that, let's get to today's super Live Ayis story.
Speaker 1: Brain Buzz audience, I'll ask you to stay very quiet
Speaker 1: while our contestants decide on their answer to our buzzer
Speaker 1: beater question, said buzz Brainley, the host of the very
Speaker 1: popular kids show Brain Buzz. This one question is worth
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars and a year's worth of ice cream
Speaker 1: from the Sunday Shop. So whichever team buzzes in with
Speaker 1: the correct answer first will be our big Winnow, sure,
Speaker 1: Levin and Ivy were feeling the pressure of that moment,
Speaker 1: but they were staying calm. They focused on the question,
Speaker 1: ready to answer their opponents, Karl and Casey did the same. Then,
Speaker 1: just before Levi and Ivy wrote down their answer, they
Speaker 1: took a deep breath and put into practice a strategy
Speaker 1: that they had learned days before when preparing for this
Speaker 1: very moment. But would it work? So many things could happen.
Speaker 1: Would Levi and Ivy answer the question correctly, would Carl
Speaker 1: and Casey buzz in at the same time, would they
Speaker 1: lose it all, or maybe buzz Brainley would just end
Speaker 1: the game early and give both teams free ice cream
Speaker 1: for a year. That last one was not likely to happen,
Speaker 1: but Levin and Ivy didn't want to rule it out completely.
Speaker 1: But I think for you to understand the importance of
Speaker 1: this moment, we should go back a few weeks. To
Speaker 1: win it all began the day that Levi and Ivy
Speaker 1: found out something really special. We've been picked to be
Speaker 1: on brain buzz, exclaimed Ivy as she ran in from
Speaker 1: the mailbox, with Levi following close behind. They didn't normally
Speaker 1: care too much about the mail but for the past
Speaker 1: few days they had been very interested in seeing if
Speaker 1: a certain invitation was sent to them. It wasn't for
Speaker 1: a birthday party, a dance or anything like that. Levi
Speaker 1: and Ivy were waiting to see if they got picked
Speaker 1: to be on their favorite show, brain Buzz, a fast
Speaker 1: paced trivia game just for kids, and lucky for them,
Speaker 1: they had found out that in just a month, the
Speaker 1: show would be bringing their Brain's Buzzing around the country
Speaker 1: tour to their town. Levi, Ivy and all their friends
Speaker 1: in town were encouraged to apply to be contestants by
Speaker 1: sending in a video of them answering Brain Buzz questions.
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy knew they wanted to do this immediately
Speaker 1: and started by creating their own version of the brain
Speaker 1: Bus set in their garage. Then they had their parents
Speaker 1: find a bunch of kid trivia questions on the brain
Speaker 1: Buzz website, and finally had their dad pretend to be
Speaker 1: the show's host, Buzz Brainley. In their video. They taped
Speaker 1: themselves as if they were on the game show and
Speaker 1: did a really great job. They emailed over the video
Speaker 1: to brain Bus Studios and then all they had to
Speaker 1: do was wait. But today was the day and the
Speaker 1: waiting was finally over. Mom, Dad, can you believe it,
Speaker 1: exclaimed Levi, We're actually gonna meet Buzz Brainley and beyond
Speaker 1: brain Buzz. That's so exciting and a bit of a
Speaker 1: tongue twister, said Levin. And Ivy's mom'm giving her kids
Speaker 1: a big hug. I knew you two would get picked,
Speaker 1: added Levi, and Ivy's dad, high fiving them both. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna claim full credit here, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it hurt that I did a pretty amazing buzz Brainley
Speaker 1: impression in your video. Yeah, Dad, I'm sure that was
Speaker 1: the deciding factor, laughed Levi. It iss here that we
Speaker 1: have to go to a brain Buzz orientation at our
Speaker 1: school this Saturday to familiarize ourselves with the game show set,
Speaker 1: said Ivy. She read the letter in her hands. You know,
Speaker 1: so we won't be nervous the day of the show.
Speaker 1: Us nervous. You and I are the best at brain Buzz,
Speaker 1: and we stay cool under pressure no matter what I mean.
Speaker 1: Just look at how good we did in our vide
Speaker 1: That's totally why they picked us, because we looked like
Speaker 1: trivia game show professionals. We did stay pretty calm no
Speaker 1: matter how hard the questions got, added Ivy. I guess
Speaker 1: you're right. We won't need to practice being calm on set,
Speaker 1: but we will get to see the team we're playing against.
Speaker 1: It says that it's Karl and Casey. Oh from down
Speaker 1: the street. Levin and Ivy both pause their excitement for
Speaker 1: a moment because they knew how smart Karl and Casey were.
Speaker 1: They were twins and seemed to always be in sync.
Speaker 1: It was going to be really hard to beat them,
Speaker 1: but Levi and Ivy were confident they would make it
Speaker 1: a really close game and would ultimately be the Brain
Speaker 1: Buzz champions. Levi and Ivy only had a few days
Speaker 1: before Sunday, so of course they started reading up on
Speaker 1: anything and everything that could possibly be asked on a
Speaker 1: kid's trivia show, categories like science, animal facts, pop culture,
Speaker 1: the ocean, outer space, math, famous authors, and foods of
Speaker 1: the world, to name a few. As the days went by,
Speaker 1: they didn't so much talk to each other, rather ask
Speaker 1: each other questions. Whenever they were together. It didn't matter
Speaker 1: if they were brushing their teeth, eating lunch, or taking
Speaker 1: out the trash. This was all you would hear. What's
Speaker 1: the chemical for water? H? Two O? What's a baby
Speaker 1: kangaroo called H? Joey who was the first President of
Speaker 1: the United States, George Washington. How many inches are in
Speaker 1: one foot twelve? What's the name of the galaxy in
Speaker 1: our solar system, the Milky Way? What's one hundred times
Speaker 1: one hundred, ten thousand? Finish? The name of this famous
Speaker 1: Shakespearean play Romeo and Juliet. What do you call the
Speaker 1: Japanese dish combining veggies, raw fish, and rice wrapped in
Speaker 1: seaweed sushi? Levin and Ivy could not be stopped. When
Speaker 1: they weren't quizzing each other, they were reading up on
Speaker 1: everything they could think of, and as the days went on,
Speaker 1: they were both getting more and more confident that they
Speaker 1: were going to win Brain Buzz. Carl and Casey have
Speaker 1: no idea what they're up against, said Levi's He jotted
Speaker 1: down some notes about different dog breeds and how many
Speaker 1: types of penguins there are in the world. Levi, I
Speaker 1: got a really good question for you, giggle, Ivy. Who's
Speaker 1: going to be the best kid team that's ever been
Speaker 1: on brain buzz buzz Buzz, said Levi, making the sound
Speaker 1: of the brain buzz buzzer. Oh, that's an easy one.
Speaker 1: The answer is you and me. Now, Levi and Ivy's
Speaker 1: parents were very proud of all the hard work that
Speaker 1: their kids were putting into preparing for the game show,
Speaker 1: but they just hoped that Levi and Ivy weren't getting
Speaker 1: too confident. They were also a little worried about how
Speaker 1: Levi and Ivy would react to being on a game
Speaker 1: show set in front of a live audience and all
Speaker 1: those big cameras. The game show is going to be
Speaker 1: taped and posted on the brain Buzz website to promote
Speaker 1: their brain Buzzing around the country tour. It was definitely
Speaker 1: going to be different than taking questions from your parents
Speaker 1: in a garage or firing facts back and forth over
Speaker 1: cereal at the breakfast table. But Levi and Ivy's parents
Speaker 1: stayed positive, just keeping a close eye on everything, ready
Speaker 1: to and help their kids if they needed it. Saturday
Speaker 1: had finally arrived, and Levi and Ivy were too excited
Speaker 1: to even eat breakfast. They couldn't wait to get to
Speaker 1: school and see the brain Buzzs game show all set up.
Speaker 1: It would be the first time they were seeing Carl
Speaker 1: and Casey too, since finding out they would be competing
Speaker 1: against them. In the car, Levi and Ivy quizzed each
Speaker 1: other all the way to school. Once they arrived, They
Speaker 1: jumped out of the car before their parents walked inside
Speaker 1: and ran right into buzz Brainy. Glad to meet you,
Speaker 1: said a well dressed, very energetic man in a bright
Speaker 1: green suit. Levin Ivey would have recognized that suit anywhere
Speaker 1: and didn't need him to introduce himself. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: your buzz Brainley, exclaimed Levi and Ivy. Your first answer, right,
Speaker 1: You're off to a great start, said Buzz. You'r Levian Ivy. Right.
Speaker 1: They nodded their heads, not believing that buzz Brainley actually
Speaker 1: knew who they were. Carl and Casey got here a
Speaker 1: bit early, and they're already on set, said Buzz. Go
Speaker 1: over and say hi, and someone for my staff will
Speaker 1: get you all set up. Buzz then turned and walked
Speaker 1: into another room, leaving Levi and Ivy to process what
Speaker 1: had just happened. As soon as he left, someone from
Speaker 1: the brain Buzz staff ran over to get them in
Speaker 1: their spots. They were taken over to a big stage
Speaker 1: and told to stand behind a podium with two bright
Speaker 1: green buzzers buttons on top of it. Their names were
Speaker 1: Shining and Bright Green Neon on the front of that podium,
Speaker 1: and it really all felt like a dream. A minute
Speaker 1: or so passed, and Karl and Casey walked over to
Speaker 1: say hello. The staff worker from the s game show,
Speaker 1: whose name was Britney, said hello too and introduced herself.
Speaker 1: She congratulated all of them from being chosen to be
Speaker 1: on Brain Buzz and went over how would all work
Speaker 1: when they came back on Monday for the tape show. Now,
Speaker 1: there will be a big audience in these seats in
Speaker 1: front of you, and three cameras set up there, there,
Speaker 1: and there, Brittany said, pointing around the room. But the
Speaker 1: stage lights will be so bright you probably won't even
Speaker 1: be able to see anything out there anyway, don't be nervous,
Speaker 1: Just be yourselves and answer the questions the best you can.
Speaker 1: We're all here to have fun and learn a little
Speaker 1: something too. We're gonna have a blast, Levi Ivy, Karl
Speaker 1: and Casey all smiled nodded their heads, trying to take
Speaker 1: it all in. In that moment, however, they saw that
Speaker 1: things on a game show moved very fast, and they
Speaker 1: all hoped they could keep up. Thanks for joining us today.
Speaker 1: We hope you enjoyed the story and learned a little
Speaker 1: something too. And since we know everyone has their own story,
