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!

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.
