Paula Deen was on the Today show this morning, promoting her new book and cookin’ up a storm, y’all! Dessert with Kathy and Hoda was fine, but things took a turn for the bizarre when she and Matt tag-teamed a beet salad, which starts around 2:35….
I’m going to call this "This is how to tell a goat story, How I Met Your Mother: A play in one act."
Paula: I’m not a big fan of goat cheese… It takes me back to a day, y’all, there was a goat in my life called Thumper—
Matt: A goat in your life?
Paula: It was actually my aunt and uncle’s goat, Thumper, and he would wee wee in his beard, and it would stink so bad!
Matt: Why did you have to do that!? Did you have to tell the goat wee wee story?!
~fin~
I have watched this nine times. Seriously, Matt Lauer, 10 bonus points for hilarity.

Never having spent much time around goats, I have to wonder just how flexible this particular goat would have to be to accomplish this feat.
Goats are flexible, and also ORNERY as they age, especially if you have made a PET out of it as the “KIDS” are so adorable. Matt YOU need to lighten up, you need a PAULA around you to see that you do.
I was sitting in the chair at the dentist when this segment came on. I laughed so hard that the dental hygienist had to stop for a second so I could catch my breath. It was awesome.
A, “A Goat In My Life” is the new title of my memoir, and B, now, who wants salad?!?
Paula Deen is always hilarious in interviews — find the “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me” she was on on NPR’s website and you’ll see. She’s great. I love the goat story.
I loved this segment especially about Thumper the goat. Paula is so funny, I couldn’t stop laughing. She is hilarious and the way Matt got so nervous was so funny, you could tell he was on pins and needles for the rest of the show. Please keep her coming back to the show!
