I got that when test solving too! (Son's name is Matt so I was primed.)
And I also took a few liberties and threw in a different couple of letters while taking the same track -- but the results cannot be repeated for our delicate ears. But it's something you might think if you were exceptionally angry at someone named Matt.

Solution:
The letters in the grid, in reading order, spell out the first letters of the start of the prompt:
The Answer To This Meta Is Simply A Single
... meaning that the answer is the start of the remaining word (L for letter)

wow! Good one on us!
I was sure my last submission, MMM (3M), was going to be right.
Every one of the 9 entries is a stock market symbol…

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

I overthought this a couple of times. (Is that over-overthinking?)
Overthought the first:
Overthought the first:
Overthought the second, not really a serious effort:I will have to go with the letter R, as instructed by extracting specified letters from the clues.
1. "I tawt I taw a puddy ___!" (Tweety's phrase) => 1st letter is I
4. Texter's "I've heard enough!" => 4th letter is T
5. Carrier to Copenhagen => 5th letter is I
1. Some two-door Audi models => 1st letter is S
2. Org. whose logo bears the Rod of Asclepius => 2nd letter is R
3. "___ the season ..." => 3rd "letter" is _
Spells ITISR_ or "It is R."
If your name were Matt S., I might think the answer is A, because reading down the columns from right to left, the grid says:
'TIS A
- MATT S.
