Empty Girlfriend

This week we have a very special episode for you eg-fers. We are excited to celebrate the marriage of two previous guests this week; Sam Tallent and Emiliy Oprish! Your Empty Girlfriends finally worked to bring two people together, not tear them apart! Listen to how EG helped to encourage an engagement, enjoy some of our favorite comics as they talk about marriage, and get a few stories from Christie's Grandparents up top regarding their weddings. Listen up! This is probably the most adorable episode we will ever do. To Sam and Emily: I hope your kids stumble across this one day and smile about how their parents love each other even more now than you did back then.

This week we bring you "one of the most mysterious men on the planet" as proclaimed by the Empty Girlfriends themselves. Very few things are certain about Zach Reinert, but what we do know is that he's a hilarious comedian from Omaha Nebraska, is now Denver-based, and that he's very loveable (despite the fact that he might also be a murderer). Zach's not used to talking about these kinds of things, so if you can hear uncomfort it will pierce your ears in this episode ♫ in the most delightful way ♫ Follow Zach on Twitter at @zachreinert03 & catch his shows!

This week's episode is fraught with positive affirmations, coping mechanisms for dealing with rejection, the often tumultuous path of overcoming self-loathing and a crap ton of giggles in between; buckle up! Our wonderful guest, Olivia Haidar, enlightens the Empty Girlfriends with her insights on self-love, loving others, and the trials and tribulations of being a transgender comedian in Los Angeles. Her shining sense of humor & inspiring openness won us over immediately, and you're sure to be won as well. Follow her on Instagram & Twitter at @hitherehaidar and follow her Facebook for updates on her upcoming show! Enjoy babies!

We are very honored to have fellow Westword Podcast award-winner and Pop Culture extraordinaire (not to mention badass DJ) Miss Taylor Gonda! Both the Empty Girlfriends have had the pleasure of being on her & Kevin O'Brien's amazing podcast These Things Matter (@TTM_Podcast) discussing why pop culture has changed our lives & now we grabbed Gonda for an incredible discussion on her ever-changing perspectives on love, sex and the sacred nature our cycles. We figured this would be the best time to have Taylor because this week is the These Things Matter Podcast's 4 year anniversary!!! Holy crap congratulations! Check out their live recording on Wednesday 4/13 @ 8pm at Buntport Theater ($5) & go to their Anniversary party on Friday 4/15 at 9pm ($7) at Syntax Physic Opera for an incredible time. Also make sure to follow sweet baby Taylor on Twtiter at @TaylorGonda & on Instagram at @shmayloresque.

Grab your crystals, align your chakras and get ready to cleanse your aura with the magical humor healing powers of the hilarious badass Madison Shepard. In this week's episode we talk about Christie's pants, owning your gender on stage, and Madison has a phenomenally presidential obscure sexual fantasy. Follow Madison on Twitter @MadisonShepard and on instagram @madison_shepard God Bless America!

We've got a weird one for you this week, Empty Girlfriends & Guyfriends. If you've never met Darrell Dibler get ready to hold onto your panties because this comic/petco-employee is going to make 'em drop, or at least make your fly come down on your pants a little. We role-play flirting with Darrell and discuss how to tap into your confidence even when you're so nervous you feel sick. Feel free to add Darrell on Facebook so you can follow his shows and keep up with his dance moves. He also implores everyone to e-mail him at [email protected] if you'd like to hang out, although he can't stay in the sun for more than 1/2 an hour or drive in a car faster than 35mph. Enjoy Darrell everyone, he certainly enjoyed us!
