Ep 40 - David Koechner, The Champ, is here to help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/03/04

You know him as Champ Kind from Anchorman, Todd Packer on The Office, Bill on The Goldbergs, or a hundred other things. Me, I know him as a Chicago improv legend and one of the kindest dudes ever. From helping me and other friends of mine along the way through this minefield of a business to letting me and my then-girlfriend (now wife) use his dressing room at SNL and introducing me to Will Farrell, David is there for people. He also has five kids, so he’s got a lot of perspective to share. This was

Ep 39 - Tom Thakkar Loves Dumb Stuff, and Helping!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/02/25

As I mention on the show, Tom was once mentioned in a review of a show I did as having a better set than mine. Do we get into it? Oh yeah. And, it turns out better than you thought. I’ve known Tom for many years, and he’s always been a fun comic to watch and a good friend/drinking buddy to have. We talked about keeping perspective during this horrible time for live comedy, dealing with drunk audience members, relationships, the Midwest, and lots of other distracting, non-important topics to help

Ep 38 - Reggie Watts is Here to Help, from Outer Space!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/02/18

Reggie Watts is someone I love to watch on stage as well as hang out with (it’s less common than you might think). An improvisor at his core, Reggie creates music and comedy from scratch onstage and has an open, creative mind when it comes to others offstage. We first met at the Bumbershoot Festival in 2009 and he inspired me big time, because at one point I had to go on after him (Me back then: “Shit!!”). It made me conquer certain fears, something we all have to go through. Now he’s the head of

Ep 37 - Andy Wood Is A Jeopardy Champion Here to Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/02/11

My friend Andy Wood is a comedian and massive nerd (his own admission) who started the Bridgetown Comedy Festival with me in 2007. It ran ten years and helped the PDX comedy scene hugely, as well as gave a ton of comedians and fans the times of their lives. He also won Jeopardy four times (!!). A kind and gentle fella, he was the only guy in my bachelor party that women actually hit on, which I of course forgot to mention. THE CALLS: 1) A lady with a broken heart wants to know, how to get over it

Ep 36 - Michelle Biloon Has Been Around/is Here to Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/02/04

Michelle is an old friend, and we have something in common: our lives have had many acts. We both started in very strong comedy scenes (her in Austin, me in Chicago) that both liked to drink strongly. We’re both now parents with kids, and don’t regret our party pasts. See? You CAN have it all! It was fun catching up with Michelle and busting each other’s chops. We went a full hour! Lucky you. THE CALLS: 1) Rob’s wife hates that he watches the same shows and movies over and over, even though he

EP 35 - My Manager Biz is Here to Have Fun, and Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/01/28

Biz Hurst is my manager, a friend, and lately a zoom drinking buddy from time to time. They’re also trans non-binary, a snappy dresser, and somehow not entirely losing their mind in the current NYC lockdown. Oh, this is while also juggling a roster of young, hungry comedians like me (Kidding about me, but seriously all her other clients are pretty young, which definitely keeps me young (they’ve never heard me say this)). This was Biz’s first podcast guest appearance, and they knocked it out of the

I can’t tell you all the stuff I’ve been through with Matt Dwyer. We’ve known each other for decades, and more than a few of the memories are lost to utterly destroyed brain cells. Who better than him AND me to offer advice to you, the youth of the world? We’re also both dads now, and he’s one of the only people I’ve seen during the dreaded quar (he’s in my pod (not cast).

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/01/14

Robin Tran is smart, trans, hilarious, and a badass on the comedy and roast scene. Recently she’s blown up online as well, partly because of Covid but also because of getting on the right track with her depression. This episode went long and I laughed out loud a lot. THE CALLS: All I’ll say is A) There are four of them, and B) They start with a compliment and end with a drunk guy giving US advice. HA! Enjoy.

EP 32 - Solo New Years Episode

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2021/01/07

Whoo! 2020 is over! More BS is yet to come, but hopefully (with what we’ve been through) we’ll be ready. I wanted to do this episode by myself to kick the year off right, and to go old school with the pod. Way back when I started, I did it guest-less, so here I go again on my own (a la Whitesnake). I did five calls. Yes, five. Were they doozies? Hell f-ing yes! THE CALLS: 1) All I’ll say is, Rocky Dennis 2) A caller wants to know: What to do if your job pays dick? 3) A caller has onion rings on her

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/12/31

Blaine Capatch is a friend, but also a comedy idol of mine. I know that sounds like a lot, but he’s one of those comedians whose writing and silly delivery I’ve looked up to for a very, very long time. He started out in the San Francisco comedy scene of the 90s with people like Patton Oswalt and Dana Gould, and since then he’s written on roughly 5 million television shows. When I was a guest on @Midnight on Comedy Central, I would always ask to get Blaine as the comedy writer I would bounce my jokes

EP 30 - Ashley Gavin is Having Gay Sex AND Helping!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/12/24

Happy Holidays, Mightys! This is one of those amazing episodes where I didn’t know the person I was interviewing, but by the end we were close, personal friends. Ashley Gavin is hilarious and very amazing. Also, she’s gay. Why do I mention that? Well, for one, it makes her cool. And B, she has a podcast called “We’re Having Gay Sex.” Folks, talk about a grabber! Ashley talks to all kinds of folks (not just gay) about sex and relationships. It’s a gas, and so is she. Ashley is a New York-based

EP 29 - Yassir Lester is a Model of How to Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/12/17

I’ve known Yassir since he was a doorman at The Improv back in my early Los Angeles days, and he’s certainly taken off like a rocket. He’s a male model (like myself), just ask him. Black Monday is his most recent credit, and his IMDB is impressive, but I know him more as an amazing, fearless standup and a writer on a TON of shows. He’s also one of my friends with a serious dichotomy in his life, that of his online presence and the way he is in person. He’s gone in hard on folks on twitter and other

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/12/10

The Living Tombstone is, by their own definition, “an internet band,” but they’re more than that. They’re fun, kindhearted, and insightful, especially for such young dudes. And yeah, I know, I’m obviously a super young dude too, but whatevs, bro. Anyway, this one went long and we got deep into some real stuff. My tendency with this podcast is to err on the side of funny, but these guys got really real, and we got some serious calls. But don’t fret, it was also entertaining as hell. Listen now! THE

EP 27 - Brent Terhune is Yelling in his Car to Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/12/03

Comedian Brent Terhune joins me this week all the way from Indiana by way of Comedy Itself. I’m always on the hunt for comedians I’ve never seen to become fans of, and over the past couple of months I’ve become a huge fan of Brent’s. If you’ve never seen him live, maybe you’re one of the hundreds of thousands who have seen his videos (a lot of which involve him yelling in a car). My personal favorite is the owner of a capsized boat called the “S.S. Magaritaville” that sank along with several others

2020/11/26

It’s Thanksgiving week, and though it’s been a monster punch-in-the-dong of a year, we still have things to be thankful for. This week I’m thankful to have the hilarious Corey Ryan Forrester on the show. You might know him from his no-BS-taking pro wrestler character “The Buttercream Dream,” but I know him from his hilarious stand-up. Either way, he’s a gem. Like all of us, Corey was thrown for a loop during the pandemic because he was literally always on the road, but it made him focus on online

Ep 25 - Langston Kerman is Handsome and he Helps!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/11/19

Have you seen Season Two of The Boys on Amazon? Great, right? If you’re a fan, like I am, you might have noticed a very handsome fella playing a sensitive Hawkeye-type hero. That’s my friend, hilarious comedian Langston Kerman. However, like me, he’s more than just good looking. Langston grew up in Chicago and cut his teeth as a comedian in New York City. He’s always been one of those comics whom I just love to watch, because he’s always got an observation I never see coming. This episode went a

Ep 24 - Comedian Monroe Martin is a Big Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/11/12

Monroe Martin is a really funny comedian and, honestly, that’s all I knew about him before we recorded this podcast. Now I know that he grew up in foster homes, has a wife, and loves pettiness as much as I do. Dude is the best! We had a lot of fun recording this one, to the point that my producer Rene came in after we were finished still laughing at our antics. I’m really happy that this ep is coming out this week when we’re having so much anxiety as a country and a world. Need a laugh? Here it is,

2020/11/05

So as many of you know, my wife and I drove our baby daughter 3,000 miles across the country to escape the fiery California air about a month ago. We also left so my in-laws could meet baby Rose, their granddaughter. During that time in lovely Mansfield, Massachusetts I’ve been writing, watching the baby, doing this podcast, and sometimes drinking. My main man Jeff Eagan has helped me with that, as well as HAVING PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE. A painter by trade, Eagan (as he’s known, like Braunger) has a

EP 22 - Esther Tsang will give you a taste of Helping!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/10/29

Esther Tsang is a freelance food writer who I am a fan of, but didn’t know. That’s changed, as after this episode we agreed to go eat/grab a drink when Covid blows over. We had a ton of fun on this ep, and I’m so glad I randomly reached out over Twitter. Ah, Twitter, you’re so relaxing and helpful! Always! Jokes aside, check out this ep because Esther is very deep, very smart, and an absolute stitch. Side note: This episode was recorded inside a definitely haunted house built in the 1800s in

EP 21 - Beth Stelling is your helpful Girl Daddy!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/10/22

What can I say about Beth Stelling? To know her is to love her, and also to be kind of jealous of her jokes and stage presence. Not me, obviously, but you know… other comics. Anyway, Beth and I go way back and when I saw she had a new special out (“Girl Daddy” on HBO Max), I had to have her on the show to help out the Mightys. MAN, did we get into it. Jerks online, comedy as a possibly dead thing now, loneliness, and more! So much fun! I love you, Beth. THE CALLS: 1) Aaron, a fellow comic, calls in
