Ep 60 - Trevor Moore Will Catfish You... to Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/07/22

Trevor Moore is probably best known for his work with The Whitest Kids You Know, a hugely popular sketch group who had a TV show and still perform together today. I broke into clubs in New York City opening for them way back in 2007/8, and it was one of the most fun times I’ve ever had. Trevor has gone on to do specials, a talk show, and even a children’s show that he cast me on as a goofy dad. Stick with the talented friends, kids!! This episode went way longer than most, mostly because we kept

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/07/15

Demi Adejuyigbe and I have at least one thing in common: No one knows how to say our last names. I first learned of Demi back when I was a frequent guest on @Midnight on Comedy Central, when he was a writer and online content-creator for the show. The stuff he makes, especially the musically based-stuff, was so way out and funny it blew me away. We’ve been something like distant friends for a while now, and I always post how it is a travesty that this man does not have his own TV show (he just

Ep 58 - Left Handed Radio

2021/07/08

I’d never met these guys, but I’d heard their work and became an instant fan. If you’ve never heard of Left Handed Radio, look it up, and you’re welcome. Doing an episode like this was an absolute joy, because we literally became fast friends as we talked/gave advice. Full disclosure: I was in a hotel room in NYC while we recorded, and it was over 100 degrees outside, so you can hear the sweet relief in my voice from the air conditioning. This ep went a little long, but only because we had a damn

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/07/01

Comedian Pete Lee and I always see each other in the bathroom. The comedy club bathroom, that is. Every time one of us is on the road, and taking a leak, we see each other’s faces in the “upcoming comedians” ads the clubs place above the urinals. It’s a real honor. Pete is super funny, and a super nice guy, BUT WE’VE NEVER ACTUALLY HUNG OUT! This episode was an awesome one, because I got to know somebody I felt like I already knew, but didn’t. Turns out he’s more than a smiling face above the

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/06/24

Dan Cummins is, as they say, a self-made man. Your average Joe might not call him famous, but he has a massive fan base both for his stand-up and for his several podcasts. He also lives in a small town in Idaho with his wife and kids, the living anti-embodiment of the “You have to live in LA or NY to be a successful comic” BS. Want to know something else? He’s a real dick. Kidding! Dan is one of the kindest, most warm-hearted joke-slingers I’ve ever known. We had a ton of fun helping people with

Ep 55 - Kurt Braunohler Helps, and Drinks!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/06/17

Kurt Braunohler and I have been friends since, what, 2006 I’d say? We ran around NYC and Los Angeles, drinking and doing comedy, as well as in several festivals. What always struck me was that he was adventurous to a fault. Like, he was always down for a good time and to explore. I think that’s what made him a great dad. He now has two daughters, I have one, and we have a wife each. What a country! Kurt took some time out from his busy schedule of doing his podcast Bananas and raising two kids to

Ep 54 - Wayne Federman Stands Up to Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/06/10

Wayne is one of those guys I’ve looked up to for a long time, and a great example of positive reinvention. They say “Do what you love,” and he’s certainly done that with stand-up. What they should also say is “Study the history of what you love.” Wayne has a podcast, and now a book, called “The History of Standup.” We talked about the art, how it’s affected our lives, the history, and even my old scene full of bozos back in Chicago. Wayne is so fun. Great episode! THE CALLS: 1) Recently coming out

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/06/03

Megan Galley is a comedian who grew up in Indiana, went on to do comedy in Chicago, and since then has been on Comedy Central and Conan. She’s also a hilarious maniac, in the best possible sense. My time in Chicago ended well before she moved there, but I heard from friends how funny she was after I left. We became friends through doing shows and having come from the same scene, but this is the longest convo we’ve had, and you get to hear it! Megan is a goddamn stitch, and way more real than most of

2021/05/27

What can I say about Laraine that hasn’t been said? Hilarious, kind, legendary, seen it all, done it all, is somehow friends with Matt Braunger, the list goes on and on. She’s also a mother to two grown kids who are also talented performers. When we first met we hit it off immediately, and it was like talking to an old friend. It was strange and fantastic, seeing as I vividly remember laughing at her sketches with my mom when I was barely able to walk (not because I was drunk, because I was a little

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/05/20

Jenny Yang is what you call a worker. A comedian, fashion icon (according to me and others on the internet), a writer, and creator of one of the most successful covid-era shows in the world: Comedy Crossing. Every week people tune in to watch comedians do comedy in the hugely popular Animal Crossing world. She was one of those comics I didn’t know very well, but now I feel like we’re pals. Especially since we’ve now given dating advice. She was also cool enough to take time out from her first trip

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/05/13

Mara Wilson has lived a few lives. A former child star (Mrs. Doubtfire, Matilda, Miracle on 34th Street), she’s now writer, mental health advocate, and fellow funny person. I’d never met her personally, but we were fans of each other online. So when Josh Gondelman recommended her I jumped at the idea, even though Josh does so much coke he doesn’t know which was is up (Ed note: He doesn’t do coke, never has). She was a dream. Funny, thoughtful, and insightful for all three callers whose names were

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/05/06

Justin Martindale is a strong-jawed “Store guy” like myself (half of this is true for me). We’re both Comedy Store performers here in LA, we’re both tall guys, but only Justin is cool, and gay. He’s recently returned from a somewhat rough gig performing in the deserts of Palm Springs so we’ve caught him at a particularly hilarious time. Justin has always cracked me up, always been a cool dude, and always had a both a good sardonic side and a good heart (to me, the best kind of combination). Whew

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/04/29

Comedian Amy Miller won the Funniest Person in Portland Tournament two years in a row, so of course, I love her. She’s also a great friend who’s known not to bullshit. Her honesty, cutting wit, and openness have made her one of the best comics out there. She grew up in a religious family, isn’t too religious anymore, but still has that age-old fear of God. Hence her hit podcast “Who’s Your God?” where she and Steve Hernandez (a former megachurch pastor turned stand-up) ask folks about their beliefs

Recorded from ON LOCATION on Tim’s hotel he’s staying in before shooting The Righteous Gemstones! You might have seen Tim on that show, Shrink, or any of the other things he’s been quietly hilariously in. But don’t let any of that normal person stuff fool you, he’s also a really nice guy. Tim sat down with me to talk comedy, improv, the Old Chicago scene, and what it’s like to be high on anxiety every day from showbiz crap. Tim’s done even more than I knew, and he’s worked with some amazing

2021/04/15

Isaac Fitzgerald is a writer of essays, adult books, and even children’s books! Kyle Kinane gave me his book “How to be a Pirate” for my daughter Rose and she loves it. He’s also a story teller, a lovely guy, and a world-class drinking buddy. Like a lot of my episodes, we spend a good amount of time catching up on each other and talking about our new perspectives. We also talked writing, and all-around creation/dicking around. Whether you’re into writing or just having fun (and that’s all of you),

Roy Wood Jr. is one of those comedians that every comedian is a fan of, and he agrees with me that all of us only see each other in the airport. Now a correspondent and writer on The Daily Show, Roy was one of those people who did the hardest gigs coming up, and it shows. He shares some of those stories on here, stuff I’d never heard, as well as trying to help the callers. Warning: Two parts of this podcast had me almost crying laughing. All I’ll say is: 1) Ron White, and 2) Blackface. THE CALLS:

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/04/01

I know, I know, we’ve had Arlo on already, but I love them so much, especially now that their curmudgeonly charm is in full bloom. The pandemic has been rough on all of us, and this podcast has let me check in on “Coach” twice! Cool fact: They were the last person I had a restaurant meal with!! And it was a special meal. I told them I was having a kid, and they’d chosen their non-binary name. Very cool! If you like listening to two old friends who are past giving a shit about norms, you’ll love this

Ep 43 - Dana Gould is Here to Help, and so is Dr. Zaius!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/03/25

This is the one you’ve been waiting/asking for, even if you haven’t. Dana Gould was a guy I looked up to when I was coming up as a young comic, and now that I’m old, we’re actual, real-life friends. He’s done it all, seen it all, and still hasn’t lost his love of the art form. He’s also not very jaded, which is refreshing for a person who’s been doing stand-up since their teens. A Girl Dad three times over, it was fun talking to Dana now that I’m a new dad. Also, Halloween forever. THE CALLS: 1) A

Hello Mightys, it’s me, your leader. Longtime listeners know a Mighty is a fan of the show, so if you’re not one, now you know. I thought I’d take this episode to say thanks, listen to the calls, and see if there’s anything you’d change/like to hear more of/etc. It’s a fun ep, as a few of the calls were meant for my maniac brother Eric Andre (we got a lot of calls for him), so I got to dig into some sweet, sweet insanity. The fun thing for me was to go FULLY REAL even when the calls were a joke. Or

Ep 41 - Eric Andre is Crazy to Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/03/11

Eric has a certain reputation, some of it earned (he likes drugs, he’s adventurous, he’s wildly creative/kind of fearless), and some of it not (he’s crazy). I’ve known Eric for at least 13 years and he’s one of the smartest guys I know. He also cares about what counts (friends, good times, being a good person) and not about what doesn’t (money, being famous, etc). We got deep on this episode, talking about our past, drugs, relationships, and of course, how we’re dealing with this epidemic. THE
