Ep 100 - Will Sasso Joins Me for the Final Helping: Episode 100!
Mightys, we have reached the end. After two years and 100 episodes of Might Have Help-ing, I’ve decided to bring the pod to an end. And you know what? I didn’t tell my guest Will Sasso! Why? Because he would...
04.21.2022
Ep 99 - Patton Oswalt and Meredith Salenger are Here to Help!
This episode I got not one, but two guests who need no introduction. You know Patton from his legendary stand-up-that-led-to-other-insanely-cool-stuff career, and Meredith from her rise from child star to voice and screen actress and writer. What a get! Though...
04.14.2022
Ep 98 - Scott Wampler Is Here To Help!
Scott Wampler is a writer/podcaster/superfan-made-good who I first became aware of on Twitter, the best place to make friends in the world. A funny, self-effacing, yet scathing critic of cinema and fan of low art, the two of us hit...
04.07.2022
Ep 97 - Atsuko Okatsuka is Here to Drop it, and to Help!
Lately, you might have heard of something called the Drop Challenge. People taking a sexy look towards the camera, then dropping to a “hot squat” (my term) slowly towards the ground. Heck, the cast of SNL did it recently. Well,...
03.31.2022
Ep 96- Jonah Ray Rodrigues is Here to Make Fun/Help!
Jonah is an old friend from when I first moved to Los Angeles. I’ll never forget driving us both to a brutally shitty show WAY far away from where either of us lived. We both had good sets, mostly because...
03.24.2022
Ep 95 - Brian Simpson
Brian Simpson is a comic I love/hate to follow at my home club, The Comedy Store. He’s deadpan, hilarious, writes great jokes, and is fearless in what he says. I’m MAYBE two or three of those things, so going up...
03.17.2022
Ep 94 - Kyle Buchanan is Here to Help with The Fury of Your Road!
If the bars of Eastern Los Angeles could talk, the tales they would tell of me and the two Kyles (Buchanan and Kinane). Kinane, as you might know, and I moved to LA from Chicago together. Back in the early...
03.10.2022
Ep 93 - Beth Lapides Says You Need to Decide to Get Help!
Beth Lapides gave a stage to pretty much any comic you’ve ever liked from the alt-comedy scene in Los Angeles. Patton Oswalt, Dana Gould, Janeane Garafalo, the list goes on and on. Her show Un-Cabaret was, and is, legendary for...
03.03.2022
Ep 92 - Ricky Velez Thinks Helping is Selfish, But He'll Do it For You!
Ricky Velez is one of the funniest comedians out there, and he’s only, like, 32? He’s written on a ton of shows, is currently on a tour headlining all the best hard-for-a-comic-to-break-into comedy clubs, and most recently opened for Hasan...
02.24.2022
Ep 91 - Your Host is Here to Help, by Himself!
We got another solo episode, Mightys. As the longtime listeners (Mightys, You) know, these pop up here and there because, well, they’re fun. Typically, I like to have a partner on to whack the ping-pong ball with, but occasionally I...
02.17.2022
Ep 90 - Lisa Tozzi is Here to Edit Your Problems Down to Nothing!
Lisa Tozzi is the Digital Editor for Rolling Stone magazine, former of Buzzfeed, and before that The New York Times. As I learned on the show, even she can’t believe it. Her first big story was the election of 2000....
02.10.2022
Ep 89 - Billy Wayne Davis is a Wild Man Here to Help!
I call Billy a wild man because he’s got that crazy southerner look in his eye onstage, but he’s actually a down-to-earth normal guy who says crazy stuff onstage. I’m not sure when we met, but when we did we...
02.03.2022
Ep 88 - Jason Shapiro, Founder of Los Feliz Daycare, is Here to Help!
Jason Shapiro is a comedy writer/performer who struck gold with a parody account of a fake day care in the hipster-affluent neighborhood of Los Feliz (Editor’s note: I live there lol). Google “Los Feliz Day Care” right now and find...
01.27.2022
Ep 87 - River Butcher is a Different Kind of Dude for Helping!
River Butcher is one of the funniest comics out there today and an old friend. He’s also someone who, when I first met him, had a different name and a different pronoun. Hence the title of his new special “A...
01.25.2022
Ep 86 - Laura Leigh Abby is a Lot of Things, Including Here to Help!
Laura Leigh Abby is a mom, wife, writer, TV personality and many other things. In fact, when we connected online I noticed a bunch of spin bikes behind her. She was recording from her fitness studio, of course! You might...
01.13.2022
Ep 85 - Kyle Kinane is Here to Not Help! Part Two
Well, this is a first my Mightys. Typically I gotta scramble to get calls per episode. Partly because it’s hard to get people fans aware that they’re on an advice podcast and they can CALL THEM DIRECT, party because NO...
01.06.2022
Ep 84 - Kyle Kinane is Here to Not Help! Part One
You asked for it, you got it, Mightys. My brother, Uncle BBQ himself, joins me on This Might Help with Matt Braunger. Kyle and I started out together in Chicago, driving around in his massive Grand Marquis through the snow...

Ep 83 - Matt Braunger is Here to Help for the Holidays!!
Here it is, folks. The last episode of This Might Help of the year. I had to do it alone, just for you. All calls, write-ins, etc, answered entirely by me, your host and favorite dum-dum. This was surprisingly fun...
12.30.2021
Ep 82 - Ali Vingiano is Here to Write/Produce/Star/Help!
I didn’t know Ali before we recorded this episode, but now we’re tight as a drum. Not really, but boy did we bond over things, especially anxiety! Ali is probably best known for writing and producing The Morning Show on...
12.16.2021
Ep 81 - John Ross Bowie is a Real Actor Really Here to Help!
First off, it’s pronounced Bow (as in “Bow down”)-wee, not like David Bowie. I gotta say that right off the bat because no one pronounces my name right either. Also, we’re both real actors, me and him. Lol! Actually, John...
12.09.2021
Ep 80 - Jackie Kashian Has Advice From the Road, and Her Heart!
Longtime traveling comedian lady Jackie Kashian is on the show this week and I couldn’t be happier. No one is nice, funnier, or more grateful for everything she has than Jackie. She’s one of those comics that every comic likes,...
12.02.2021
Ep 79 - Christian Duguay Helps and Brings the Valley Heat!
I have a massive amount of respect for anybody who makes a scripted podcast. The planning, the creative effort, and the execution can be brutal. There are a lot of them that I like, but Christian Duguay’s brilliant Valley Heat...

Ep 78 - Jared Goldstein Doesn't Want to Help but Will!

Ep 76 - Will Miles of Southside Comes to the Helpside!

Ep 75 - Hannah Einbinder is Here to Cheer (You On)!
Former cheerleader (yep, it’s true) Hannah Einbiner blew the f%*k up in the biz. My pal Dana Gould told me she was a funny stand-up, and I said, “Ok cool, I’ll check her out.” No sooner did we have that...
10.28.2021
Ep 74 - Colin Mochrie Makes it Up as He Goes Along While Helping!
Colin Mochrie is a National Tresure, and I’m not using hyperbole. If you don’t believe me, look at my Instagram page from when I announced he’d be on the show. Like always, I posted a picture of my upcoming guest…...
10.21.2021
Ep 73 - Josh Johnson is Calm, Wise, and Has Me Fooled About That (but is Here to Help!)
Josh Johnson is a great joke writer, comedian, and person based out of New York City. Also, solid work ethic. Writing on The Daily Show all day and putting in sets at night sounds, and maybe it’s because I’m a...

09.23.2021
Ep 69 - Rosebud Baker Uses Her Whiskey Fists to Help!
Rosebud Baker has a new special out called “Whiskey Fists,” which is odd because she’s been sober for years, and I’ve never seen her hit anyone. Not that it matters. What does matter is that she’s one of the best...
09.20.2021
Ep 68 - Chris Garcia is my Girl Daddy Bud and He's Here to Help!
Comedian Chris Garcia grew up in Los Angeles, started out doing comedy in the Bay Area, and now lives here again. In fact, he and his wife live with their baby daughter Sunny in my old apartment! When he moved...
09.09.2021
Ep 67 - Dave Anthony Brings a Dollop of Help!
Dave Anthony’s podcast The Dollop, with Gareth Reynolds, is an internationally popular podcast that I find hilarious. As I say during this episode, the two-part one they did about Ronald Reagan, is maybe the hardest I’ve ever laughed at a...
09.02.2021
Ep 66 - Sam Tallent is Running the Light to Help!
I’ve been a big fan of Sam Tallent for many years, so it’s great to finally have him on the show. A hilarious comic and writer, Sam is hard to miss from his large size and many, many tattoos. A...

Ep 63 - Caleb Hearon is Here to Help, but Not the Gardender!
Caleb is a comedian/internet sensation/lifestyle expert, IMO. I first learned of him when a friend showed me his videos on twitter, all of which are gut-bustingly funny and very different than anyone else’s. Right before we started recording, Caleb said...
08.05.2021
Ep 62 - James Austin Johnson is Here to Help, and so are Louis CK? And Bobby Flay? And TRUMP??

Ep 57 - Pete Lee and I are on the Bathroom Wall, Helping!

Ep 56 - Dan Cummins Has Done it All, and Now He’s Helping YOU!

Ep 55 - Kurt Braunohler Helps, and Drinks!

Ep 54 - Wayne Federman Stands Up to Help!

Ep 53 - Megan Galley is Helping by Being Real (and Judgemental)!
