with a
star in her eyes
[mumbles]
[laughs]
--What's up, everybody?
Louderman lingo right here.
Our word today is badinage: light-hearted witty chat or banter. The
badinage between the two presenters must have been scripted, but it sounded
very natural. Let's see if we can catch
The queen of lingo by surprise.
--Come come in. Join in our badinage. Is Charmander okay? --What?
--Join in your what?
--Badinage...
--It's just a little light banter. You've been lingo-ed!
[laughs]
--Say hello to my little friend --Oh, good work!
--Guys, but really though, I don't think anybody can out lingo
the Queen of lingo, Taylor Louderman. I tried.
Hey, everybody. It's the first day
of Secret Santa, and guess who my secret Santa is?
Tee Boyich!
What? Tee is my amazing standby. I'm literally so happy I got her as
my Secret Santa. So, here's the thing. This is gonna go to,
their gonna edit this by the time she finds out that it's me. So, you guys get
to see the journey of Secret Santa. So, for Tee's first Secret Santa gift. I told
you I have Tee, right? --No.
--[claps] --I have Tee. For her first gift, a plant for her dressing
room because she has lots of plants at home, but I don't think she has one here.
And this is the Dogist calendar, so every month is a different dog. We both
love this photographer. He takes photos of dogs. -- Oh, you guys, Jess what are these?
--They are from the Dorie Greenspan cookie book. They're called Bruno's New Year's
waffles. --Is that cream filling I see?
--Yes, it's coffee cinnamon espresso cinnamon
buttercream.
--Well, I may be biased, but I think you're gonna win.
--Hi friends! It Grey. So, Erika has to go to the chiropractor between shows
because she's a Broadway star that hurt her back, I think. But she's going to be
fine. So, she asked me to take over and film
this cookie Christmas party. Right now we're eating Dig Inn and then we're gonna
I think everyone is sitting up there cookies. And then we're gonna judge and
pick the best one. And I'm a little worried because, honestly, if we have
multiple cookies before a show and then try to do a show tonight, we all might
die. So, please wish us luck.
--It's a Christmas bakeoff!
--It's a Christmas who baked cookies? --Me.
--Gianna. All right, which one are you allowed to say which ones you did?
--No! --No, it's a
secret. Are you competitive? Do you think you'll win?
--I just wanna taste everyone's cookies.
--Yeah, I'm here to eat.
--I'm worried about the show tonight and our
stomachs.
