Advice From A Dipshit With Matt Braunger

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 into the dating scene during these quarantine times, 3) A nice lady has super judgmental friends. Should she tell them to shove it?

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 guest every time, so I wasn’t sure what to do with these, but I’d like our callers’ voices to be heard, and the funny things I said back to not be wasted. Enjoy, and be safe this week. Call Matt at: 323-763-0228 New episodes every Thursday Follow @Braunger www.thismighthelppodcast.com Interested in advertising?

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 now work on weekends doing non-work-related chores, 2) a woman working from home has a co-worker who takes her phone into the bathroom during Zoom calls, and 3) A man dating a porn stars wonders how to tell his family about it.

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 wedding, and a fella named Drew wants to know what us white men should do to help change things! Way to close it out, Drew! Listen now. New episodes every Thursday Follow @Braunger www.thismighthelppodcast.com   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 has a possum in her backyard she wants to make friends with (This is how bad it’s gotten), and a polyamorous immunodeficient person wonders who she can trust!

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 man has a new sex toy he can’t use with his social distanced girlfriend, and Brendan in Savannah is under pressure to start running comedy shows again. Irene and I are on the case(s)! Listen now.  New Episodes every Thursday! Follow @braunger www.thismighthelppodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Nicely nice hearted with Matt's childhood friend Zach Hoffman dropping by and talking about their obsession with writing "death the cabbage patch dolls stories."

Holiday help we can all relate too! Last question is about relationship red flags, we all have them, but what if you're really into the person and then they let you know they are poly? It might be a deal breaker for either one of you. Don't forget to tell your friends about how cool we are when you run out of things to talk about for the holidays.

Daniel Van Kirk is an old friend, a funny dude, and a heck of a guy. You might know him from his podcast with the Sklar Brothers, "Dumb People Town." He's got a new album coming out called "Thanks, Diane" and he sat down with Braungs and Amanda to talk about life. This episode we went DEEP, folks. Calls include a former slut bro wanting his man to know he's committed and faithful, a person who is still in love with an ex/is wondering if the friendship is worth it, and a man who missed Matt's Lafayette show (no big whup) who's living with a squabbling couple (should he step in??). Boy, did Daniel step up as a guest on this one. So wise! Don't be a jerk and give it a listen.   Daniel's New Album Drops November 15th Website Twitter Instagram Learn more about your ad choices.
