Empty Girlfriend
WARNING: It's our BIG 69th EPISODE EMPTY-EG-EFFERS!! We did it! We're a real love & relationships (and mental illness?) comedy podcast now! We celebrate with a contender for the Emptiest Girlfriend on the show, Los Angeles Stand-Up comedian Kate Lindstedt! She's so darn lovely & charming & awkward & hilarious it'll make you puke (in a fun way). In this episode we discuss the ebbing & flowing desires of wanting everybody to like you, how much others' perception of you actually matters and what makes somebody a picky dater or not. Follow Kate on Twitter at @kmlindstedt & catch her comedy all over Los Angeles!

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!

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'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 darrell.dibler@aol.com 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!
