Stand-Up, Marriage Lessons & Action Heroes w/ Matt Moramarco

In this episode, we sit down with stand-up comic Matt Moramarco to talk about comedy, marriage, and the dumbest fight he’s ever had (hint: it involves a pillow). From performing at the iconic Comedy Store and bombing mid-set to navigating newlywed life, Matt brings honesty, laughter, and some surprising stories.

We also unveil Matt’s 32-action-hero March Madness-style bracket—think John Wick vs. Jason Bourne—and tease a new YouTube Shorts series to go with it.

Highlights include:

• The nightmare comedy set that ended in a fall
• Moving cross-country and the infamous pillow fight
• Behind-the-scenes at the Comedy Store & Hollywood Improv
• The truth about dating during COVID
• Ultimate Action Hero bracket—who makes the cut?

Stick around—this one’s packed with laughs and late-night wisdom.
