    Matt and Mattingly Goofiness

    From a recently listened-to episode of Matt and Mattingly’s Ice Cream Social:

    Matt Donnelly: “What is that stuff on fancy cakes, the shiny decorative balls?”
    Paul Mattingly: “Fondant?”
    Matt: “No, I’m still looking.”

    That one made me laugh like a fool. They really snuck that one in.

    New Traditionalists

    Today I was walking the dog today listening to an episode of Matt and Mattingly’s Ice Cream Social podcast. Despite it being sac-shrinklingly cold, I had to stop and belly laugh out loud. This is their “Humpsgiving Part 1” episode, and in it they were describing the awkwardness of being an atheist yet being asked to deliver grace at functions. While riffing, they hit on the perfect solution. It will not only prevent you from being asked again but becomes a game.

    If this is asked of you, bow your head and hold hands and then begin reciting the lyrics to the Beach Boys’ “Kokomo.” Continue until someone makes you stop or you laugh too hard to keep going. I personally now cannot wait to be put in this situation. Matt Donnely, Paul Mattingly, you are geniuses.

    And if you need a refresher, here you go. Can I get a “You’re Welcome?”

    Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya
    Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
    Key Largo, Montego,
    baby why don’t we go,
    Jamaica

    Off the Florida Keys
    there’s a place called Kokomo
    That’s where you wanna go
    to get away from it all
    Bodies in the sand,
    tropical drink melting in your hand
    We’ll be falling in love
    to the rhythm of a steel drum band
    Down in Kokomo

    [Chorus:]
    Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
    Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
    Key Largo Montego,
    baby why don’t we go
    Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo,
    we’ll get there fast
    and then we’ll take it slow
    That’s where we wanna go,
    way down in Kokomo.

    Martinique, that Monserrat mystique…

    We’ll put out to sea
    and we’ll perfect our chemistry
    By and by we’ll defy
    a little bit of gravity
    Afternoon delight,
    cocktails and moonlit nights
    That dreamy look in your eye,
    give me a tropical contact high
    Way down in Kokomo

    [Chorus]

    Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse…

    Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
    Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
    Go down to Kokomo

    [Chorus]
