<p>Richie Moriarty has been our pal for over a decade now, but as we find out on this episode, did we ever *really* know him??? Now, *you* know Richie, obviously, as one of the stars of the hit CBS sitcom Ghosts, or maybe you've heard his voice on a ton of children's cartoons or popping up in everything from What We Do In the Shadows to The Tick to Search Party. Well, even if this is your first time meeting Richie, you're gonna love him! We quickly find out that he was married before and that COMPLETELY blows our minds, but Richie is kind enough to go through the rise and fall of his first marriage. We talk about the long emotional recovery time after his divorce, moving to New York and meeting his now-wife Ciara two weeks later and so much more, including, of course, a detailed explanation of the improv show opening called The Pattern Game! PLUS, obvi, we answer YOUR advice questions!
