Empty Girlfriend

Your Empty Galpals are delivering a legit treat to you ear-buds, your mind's eye & your heart's aorta, this week Los Angeles comedian Erin Lampart is here to bring your weary li'l hearts some Christmas Cheer & heap loads o' ooey gooey love advice. Erin started with a 5 year relationship then weaned her way to 3 and almost got eaten my empty void of the often loveless Los Angeles dating scene for 6 years -- only to come out TRIUMPHANT with "the one"<3 She fucking did it. She's the definition of joy & her presence is overwhelmingly hopeful and full of life. Enjoy this gift! THERE NO WAY YOU CAN'T IF YOU JUST GIVE *CHRISTMAS A CHANCE! And by *Christmas, we mean the Love Light of Lampart (which may in fact be BETTER than Christmas *oh shit!*) We love you. You're gonna love Erin.

Haley (EG Mommy) & Christie (EG Daddy) sometimes have difficulty finding the time to Podcast together in the midst of killing both the Denver & Los Angeles comedy scenes, so this week Mommy hosts solo with our guest. Haley managed to grab the self-proclaimed "King of Open Mics & the Aquatics section of the Petco on Hollywood & Western" DARRELL DIBLER again to talk one-on-one about finding love despite the dangers of flirting and pregnancy, how to express subtle love-confessions over the internet, and Darrell gives Haley a real come-to-Jesus moment with his own rendition of the Empty Girlfriend Podcast SANS HALEY. Enjoy the endless weirdness that is Darrell Dibler & please do get a head-start on getting your restraining order if you see him loitering around your neighborhood a little too often. Follow him on Twitter at @diblerdarrell, feel free to add him on Facebook, and he always loves a personal e-mail check-in or b-day party invite via e-mail at darrelldibler@aol.com <3 Much love to you Empty Gals & Guys & Everything in-between.

Christie & Haley have come a loooooong way with their Love & Relationships Podcast Empty Girlfriend, but they've come even further with their LOVE connection. It's said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that's exactly what happened when Haley moved to Los Angeles about 2 years ago, leaving Christie in Denver, CO. The Empty Gals have had to work on their long-distance romance skills, and although it's been no walk in the park, they've managed to let their hearts get fonder and fonder until they've become what they are now; a smoldering globule of one, unified heart blob. This is a compilation episode of all the new L.A. friends Haley and Christie have made along the long & windy road of their friendship via this podcast. We start with the last EGF in the Colorado Podcastuary with Chris Charpentier, then we follow Christie & Haley through Vegas while moving Haley to Hollywood, and feature wonderful L.A comedian guests Madison Davis, Darrell Dibler, Danielle Perez, Madison Shepard, Olivia Haidar, Kate Lindstet, Caitlin Gill, Rachele Friedland, James Fritz, Eric Dadourian, Miles K. Stenehjem and Katie Low Standberg. Enjoy EGF'ers! We live for you! And we love for ALL!! Thank you so much, everybody. <3

We got to chat with this beloved Comedy Works headliner, and cherished Boulder comedy guru about the intricasies involved with the expectations of marriage, keeping that long distance love connection going during road comedy touring, dealing with divorce, and the H-Man delivers another incredible Obscure Sexual Fantasy which trumps his seemingly untrumpable Obscure Sexual Fantasty from last year's Live Empty Girlfriend recording.

Surrender your sweet, gentle earbuds to the surprisingly bitting, yet disarmingly sweet, Rachele Friedland! This week's episode is a very intimate slumber-party-like conversation, just L.A. comedian Rachele & Haley in her L.A. apartment (since Mommy (Haley) & Daddy (Christie) can't see each other as much as they'd like due to their work schedules). Don't worry, Mommy & Daddy aren't getting a divorce. Rachele & Haley discuss divorce, expectations within relationships, when to say "I LOVE YOU AHHH I'M SORRY", and how to tell when you're being a BITCH or not -- it's a giggly good time (obviously channeling Christie's spirit energy). Enjoy the soothing sounds of the hilarious & charming, Rachele Friedland and follow her on Twitter at @Rachele_F and on instagram at @rachelefriedland WE LOVE TO LOVE LOVE!

I know we say this every week but this week is truly a special episode. This week we have the best comedy writer in Denver (according to Christie, so you know its true), Brad Galli! If you haven't heard of him it's because he hung up the mic over a year ago. In an attempt to get him back Empty Girlfriend sits down with Brad to talk about his break-up with comedy and what life looks like without the lights and sting of the stage. Please enjoy one of the funniest people in Denver, and god damn it Galli, come back! Check out Galli's tweets on the most un-beloved teams in the MLB on twitter @bradicalgalli. Enjoy little babies!
