EP 20 - Liz Crain Has a Recipe for Helping (Spoiler:...

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/10/15

Liz Crain is a huge part of my hometown Portland, Oregon’s food scene. When I was kid, food and restaurants there were kinda… eh. Now, though? That place can compete and win with places like New York, Madrid, and even Paris. Yeah, that’s right, Pierre, I said it! Liz has been documenting, cooking, and teaching on the Portland food scene for a long time now and it was great to have her on. As you Mightys know, I’m all about giving yourself treats, and that’s what Liz is all about. Not only things

EP 19 - Jon Gabrus is the Hercules of Helping

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/10/08

Jon Gabrus, first of all, should play Hercules if Marvel decides to put their version of the character in one of their movies. Secondly, he’s a big gregarious man who people have always assumed I know and party with. No true, but it should be. Jon and I are both big, we party, and we’re super fun/handsome. We’re both married too. I know Jon from the work I’ve done at the UCB, where he’s a regular performer. You’ve also seen him in a ton of stuff. In fact, we’ve gone in for the same part several

EP 18 - Martha Kelly is a Wild Animal of Helping!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/10/01

What can I say about my friend Martha Kelly? She’s low key one of the funniest comedians alive, hands down. Low key being a key descriptor of her style. Martha is dry as a bone onstage, but offstage she’s always been a really warm and helpful friend (don’t tell her I said that). You probably know her from her entire-series-stealing work on “Baskets,” but of late she’s become synonymous with not taking an ounce of shit from trolls on Twitter. This was a great episode and an excuse for us to catch up

EP 17 - Ian Karmel is a Great Big Helper!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/09/24

Ian Karmel is the head writer for the Late Late Show, one of the stars of Game On! and (most importantly) an old friend. We both grew up in Portland but he’s younger than me, and Ian came of age in the scene there. I call Ian my little big brother, and on this episode you can see why. Things are a little f-ed in our hometown, so we get into that, but mostly we focus on your calls. OH are they some doozies!! Listen in and check them out. People have some real problems right now!!

I got talk to Ira for 45 minutes, get to know him, and also get his unique and hilarious insight on behalf of the Mightys. Ira will definitely get some lifelong fans off of this one, as he rocked it.

EP 14 - Tom Bissell is the Author of Your Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/09/03

My cousin Tom is an author of books (The Disaster Artist, Extra Lives, God Lives in St. Petersburg) and video games (Gears of War). He’s also an awesome dude who has I met late in life and formed a fast friendship with. I’ll never forget visiting my parents in Portland, meeting him for the first time over dinner with them, then watching him force my parents to both play and understand video games at his place later that night. Classic! He’s been a good pal but has also helped me learn to be a better

EP 13 - Baratunde Thurston Helps for a Full Hour!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/08/27

Baratunde Thurston is a friend, a comedian, an activist, and a whole lot more. He’s had a Ted talk that blew the F up, wrote a book called “How to Be Black,” and has a new podcast called “We’re Having a Moment” that couldn’t be more timely. I’ve gotten to know him on the comedy scene over the last few years, and have even worked with him on a project. It was so fun catching up and listening to calls that the show went a full hour! Check out why. THE CALLS: 1) A woman looking to internet date was

EP 12 - What the F@*k is an Air Fryer? with Farley...

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/08/20

Farley Elliott is a famous food writer, but not a critic! I’d never known the difference, but it’s true. He doesn’t review restaurants, he writes about them if they’re important to their region. In his case, and mine, this is Los Angeles. I first met Farley at at In-N-Out Burger, of course, back when he was covering comedy. Since then, he’s found his groove, and now he’s here to help the callers find theirs! THE CALLS: 1) Nikki moved out after 16 years with someone, has never been happier, but

EP 11 - Carmen Lynch is a Tall Drink of Help!

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/08/13

Carmen and I are old comedy pals, having been on several stages together as well as several festivals. Like me, she is tall, as her album “Vertically Obese” explains. We got into that (including what my soon-to-be daughter will face as a tall girl). Carmen talks “real” jobs, doing comedy in NYC, and being a comedian old enough to not care about the BS. Also, panty hose: The Worst. THE CALLS: 1) A nice lady has strong feelings for her best friend who is still married but separated. Should she tell

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/08/06

Sophie Buddle is one of my beautiful Canadian children (I call younger comedians I love my kids, and she’s Canadian). She recently won a Juno, which is the highest Canadian honor a person from Vancouver can get (this also isn’t true, but she won one, and it’s a massive deal). She was nice enough to come on and rap with me/give out advice, and she rocked it.CALLS: 1) Lauren is going to start a business. What should it be called? 2)A white woman named Tammy wants to know what the hell is wrong with

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/07/30

I love Aparna, and I’m far from alone. Her hilarious stage presence, her incredible acting work, and her peerless writing (no one is better at Twitter) have earned her fans from all walks of life. She and I met doing comedy in the waiting area of Walter Reed Hospital ten-odd years ago, and we’ve been friends ever since. THE CALLS: 1) Chris is running out of cooking ideas, can you help??, 2) A woodpecker is living in the corner a guy’s house. How to get rid of it? (Side note: WTF??), and 3) A caller

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/07/23

Dave Holmes is an old friend of mine, even though we’re both very young men. His partner Ben is an old friend too, and he’s done all of my theme songs (specials, all podcasts), but I digress. Dave and I can’t figure out when we met, because we’re just that tight. He has an interesting history, some of which you might know, but an even more interesting outlook and brain. I’m glad he could join me to help! CALLS: 1) Annie’s dad refuses to wash his hands in airports because they’ll “make his hands even

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/07/16

Michelle Buteau has a Netflix special AND a book on the way, is raising baby twins (a girl and a boy), and has a husband who makes her cocktails. She. Is. Winning. However, she went through a lot to get where she is, and it’s never been easy being a woman of color in America. We get into it on this episode, and Michele uses her wisdom and hilarious point of view to help out our callers. CALLS: 1) Marcus is heavier than he should be, according to others, but doesn’t really want to. 2) An almost

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/07/09

David G’Borie isn’t here to help white friends figure out what to do, he’s here for the comedy. David hasn’t had the easiest life, but he’s really easy to be around, and he makes me laugh really hard. We know each other from the comedy festival circuit, and over the past few years he’s found real success both on screen and as the official voice of Comedy Central. CALLS: 1) A man did some trolling online (for good reasons (?)) and lost his job. Is that fair?, 2) Megan wants to know how to get out

EP 5 - A 4th of July 3-Pack of Helpful Tallboys

2020/07/02

Hey Helpers, this week we thought we’d do something special: Take the week off. Also, because we’re so awesome, we thought we’d do something special for you. Here are the first three guest-less episodes of “This Might Help” in their entirety. Recorded at the beginning of the America pandemic (and before I knew what the hell Zoom even was) these three episodes show how people were feeling back then, and why there’s still reason to keep hope alive and laugh. My plan for “This Might Help” was to have a

EP 4 - Arlo Weierhauser

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/06/25

Arlo and I had a fantastic lunch right before the lockdown where I told them my wife was pregnant and they told me they were taking a new non-binary name: Arlo. For the last ten years or so I’ve known Arlo as Caitlin, one of the funniest people to ever come out of The Portland, Oregon comedy scene, and now they’re Arlo. Congrats pal! Check out their set on Colbert recently, it’s bananas funny. I love Arlo, or as they call themselves, “Coach.” CALLS: 1) Annie has an overbearing boss who wants her to

EP 3 - Josh Gondleman Is A Hilarious Helper

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/06/18

Josh is an old friend, a fantastic comedian, and one of the best comedy writers alive. Also, he’s a dick. Kidding! That’s just what I call him because he’s so nice. Josh is famous for his pep talks online and off, and in this episode he did not disappoint. In fact, we spent the first 20 minutes cracking each other up! Love Josh, love this episode. CALLS: A man wonders if he should leave his “real” job for a “lesser” job to… be happy, a woman asks she she can un-invite her asshole uncle to her

Ep 2 - Doug Benson is High and Helping

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/06/11

My friend Doug Benson is a gem, and the hardest working stoned person since Bob Marley’s tour manager. We go back a lot of years, and he’s one of those guys who has never had any ego when it comes to helping out other comics and including them in his shows, podcasts, etc. I can’t tell you how fun it was to listen to these calls with my ol’ pal Dougie. CALLS: A man I called Thor (because he looks like Thor) when I was performing in St. Paul calls in to ask “HOW DO WE DATE NOW?,” Hayley from Maryland

EP 1 - My Beautiful Daughter Irene Tu Helps Out

This Might Help with Matt Braunger ·

2020/06/11

Who better to start “This Might Help” out with me than my daughter? Okay, not really. I mean, she’s beautiful, but she’s not my kid. Irene Tu is a hilarious comedian from the Bay Area who I’ve jokingly called my adopted daughter for years now. She’s a lesbian, which I only bring up because as her stupid dad I always wonder why she can’t meet a nice boy. We always have fun, us two, and this episode is no exception. CALLS: Cody from Utah doesn’t want to move in with his parents during quarantine, a
