When Matty shared the project in 2023, he said at the time it was one of the “silliest and most fun things” he had done.

More recently – Matty just launched his own Broadway themed podcast.

Fellow instructor Cody Rigsby also was available as a guest Waze voice in 2024.

To activate the “Spicy Gingerbread Man” / Matty Maggiacomo voice, open Waze, go to Settings > Voice & Sound, and select Matty’s holiday voice from the list.
