Empty Girlfriend

This week’s episode is GUARANTEED to make your a$$ hit the flo’ with giggles. The empty girlfriends got to probe the heart & mind of the hilarious L.A. based comedian (via Georgia)...Caleb Synan! We talk wooing, codependency & contractual long-term relationships. Caleb is a good friend of the Denver Comedy scene and a sweetheart to boot. Watch his Conan set & follow him of the socials: @calebsynan

DAMN this week's episode got HOLY with our utterly adorable, totally hilarious and GENUINE GOOD GUY guest, John Tole! A new Denver transplant, yet an old Denver Comedy friend, the hilarious comedian John Tole takes the Empty Girlfriends on an epic journey through finding the LITERAL FUCKING "ONE" via faith & trust. WHAT?!? Then we top it off by helping a woman compassionately open the horizons of her marriage after an experiment with a threesome that had her husband wondering, "Do I like the D a little TOO much...?" And finally, Empty GF Mommy (Haley) returns after a long heartbreak hiatus & couldn't be happier to be scream-laughing with EGF Daddy (Buches) again.

This week on EG we have the wonderful Elise Kerns! We talk to Elise about the experience of having a comedian for a parent and how it is to be new and also veteran in Denver comedy. Elise also fills us in on the risks and romance of lesbian relationships. Listen up Empty Gfer's this is a good one! You can follow Elise on social median @elisealfredkerns. Enjoy! 

New Denver transplant, Mike Stanley, is finally off the road and into the Empty Girlfriend Podcastuary. Today we talk about what love is like for a traveling comedian. We touch on the dangers of breaking up at Burning Man and we hear about one of the craziest tinder wins of all time. Follow Mike on twitter @MikeStanley1 and check him out on The Food Network on Food: Fact or Fiction? Enjoy, BBs!

Hot out of the Sexpot podcastuary we have the official winner of the 2017 Comedy Works New Faces Contest Harris Alterman! We sit down and talk with one of Denver's best up and coming comedians about long distance relationships, making time for love in comedy, and we decide when its best to make your girlfriend homeless. Christie is going through a lot of ambiguous emotions during this episode and Harris avoids them like Tom Cruise in a laser maze. Sorry for the break, but EG is back and we can't wait for you to listen. Enjoy! 

On this episode of Empty Girlfriend we are so excited to bring you KS1075 Radio Personality Rosa Jad! This bitch right here is the most motivating person I have ever met. She knows what she wants and in this episode she will tell you all about it. Rosa talks about working up the ranks of the radio station by being a "yes man". She teaches Christie how to play the game and she gives some amazing insight on what its like to be a modern Muslim woman in America. I LOVE THIS EPISODE AND YOU WILL TOO! Check out Rosa every weekday on KS1075 and follow her on twitter @rosa_jad!

This week Empty Girlfriend FINALLY has the amazing Timmi Lasley, Denver comedian and talent manager of The Comedy RoomRoom on the podcast.  After years of building bridges and burning them down Christie and Timmi are ready to hash it out. On this episode we discuss the evolution of Denver's best alt comedy venue, what it used to be like to be a female comic in Denver, and we discuss the best dick in Denver. Timmi also discusses the intricacies of having an open relationship and all the work it requires. You can follow Timmi on twitter @timmitown and follow her comedy venue @comedyroomroom. Settle in, Empties. This is a good one.  

EG is SOOOOOOOOOO excited to bring you our 100th Episode featuring Sean Jordan!

On this episode of EG we talk about Sean's Natal Chart, the disappointment of his first open mic, and the emotional roller-coaster of meeting Atmosphere.

EG is finally back!!! And we are bringing NY's best mountain man Brett Hiker, to the podcastuary.

This week we have the hilarious Aubrey Jacobowitz visiting the mile high from LA! In this episode we check on our new Empty Girlfriends Aubrey and Haley and we discuss what it takes to be recruited into the Vagina Vigilantes. Other topics include figuring out how to make money without leaving your bed as well as how difficult it is to date when you're a very sexual but very sick bitch. Join us in our post Crom Festival hangovers and fill up on empty! Follow Aubrey @femmist on twitter and find her at shows all over LA! 

EGF Co-Host/Mommy Haley is now more empty and less of a girlfriend than ever. This episode takes you & EGF Daddy (Christie) through her recent journey from being sexually assaulted two month ago, her stay at an Acute Psych Ward in Los Angeles, her biggest break-up yet, being diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder, discovering the disease of alcoholism within, and the lead-up to shaving her head (and her brief "I-Am-A-Tiger" phase). It's a very intimate conversation freckled with intermittent outbursts of laughter throughout, leaning on humor as a coping mechanism as per the EGF usual. We hope Haley's self-care path gives you some inspiration to continue along your own, to speak up, or at least laugh into that empty void for little while together. We love you from the bottom our weird, winding, wistful hearts. Suffer with dignity, we are warriors of compassion.

This week we have Mommy EGF (Haley) and her best friend from the college bagel shop years, Miss Cheryl Grace Williams! This episode is FRAUGHT with giggles and CONTROVERSY, but mostly big booming maniacal laughter. Cheryl and Haley have known each other for about 10 years and their bizarre humor and love make this ep is chillingly sleep-overy. We get into the Matrix REAL QUICK and the deep issues behind the men we love and the shitty music they may like. Haley and Cheryl also confide in your sweet EGFer's earhole the HORRIBLE incident Haley put themselves through while having a supposedly "lovely" walk on the beach when an old school racial slur crept it's way into the oceanside conversation. Enjoy this episode hopefully half as much as Haley & Cheryl enjoy each other (THEY'RE LOVE IS SICKENING AND IMMORTAL). Cheryl is a dope-ass chef and her music choice is CHOICE as fuck. Note: the term "FUCKASS" is a term of endearment. We love you!! More than you NEED OR COULD EVER WANT. XOXOXO

WE'RE BAAACK and the Empty Girlfriends (me & Christie Buchele) bring you the SEXY, INSPIRING, F-ING LOVELY comedy producer of Broke LA, and true Queen B of our EGF guests, Chelsea Quinn! Chelsea gets down & dirty explaining what a "break-over/make-over" is, how she found comedy through her love-life, the path of deciding to stick around long after she lost that loving feeling, and how Queen B(eyonce) guided her through her last & longest break-up with her BEYOND PHENOMENAL visual album, 'Lemonade'. Please check out Chelsea on Twitter at @chelofthesea (she's a twitter personality, trust us) as well as instagram, same handle. Stay posted on all her upcoming projects and enjoy this episode, EG-fers! We're in LOVE with you!

This month we have the amazing Denver comedian, Stephanie McHugh (Nick@Night Funniest Mom in America). Stephanie has been a long time listener and we are so stoked to finally get her on the pod. We get right into it, talking about everything from the sad places where comedy starts to the miscommunication in love languages! Stephanie is one part producer of Mental-Pause and a regular down at Comedy Works. You can buy tickets for her next show on April 25th HERE. Follow Stephanie on twitter @stephaneeMcHugh. Enjoy, Babies!

FRESH HEARTBREAK, FRESH OFF THE EMPTY GRILL, EGF TEAM! Come and get it! BEFORE IT HEALS!!! This week's episode is just as juicy as it is tender, in EVERY definition of those words. Christie hopped on a jet-plane and B-lined it to her long, lost, and ONLY true love, Haley (OF COURSE), and they swiftly swept up the unassuming & wonderfully hilarious L.A.-based comedian, Richard Bain, into their scary EGF white van, and took him to Haley's make-shift podcastuary to PODCAST IRL WITH HIS FRESH HEARTACHE TOTALLY EXPOSED right outside of his very manly CHEST. He was, to be frank, an absolute delight. And a pandora's box of lovely honesty. He no-holds-barred in letting us into his tumultuous (and sexy) love journey, and we'll forever be grateful for that. TAKE THIS SWEET, FANTASTIC, FUNNY-as-F*CK MAN INTO YOUR LOVING ARMS! And follow his comedy while you're at it! It's truly a transformative experience -- Twitter & instagram: @DickBain  We love you. We're sorry we're not sorry, so deal with it. XOXOXOXOXO

We had the wonderful, charming, sweetheart that's quite well known at Comedy Works, particularly from the New Talent night which he runs weekly and, of course, his own hilarious stand-up comedy, which he performs there & throughout Colorado regularly. He resists the title "gate-keeper" to comedy works, but he's a humble gentleman & we had a downright lovely time getting to explore his heart. Listen up to one of the wisest Empty Guests we've had on the pod yet! It's never too late to get in too deep!!

This very special episode features not only a true gentleman & incredible musician, but a genuinely SEXY Cherub Baby Body Boi, Empty GF's & BF's. We bring you the Los Angeles-based badass of pxlman (@pxlman), the lead singer of the Munich (or Berlin)-based & beloved band, Total Ghost and a frequent guest at the show Everybody's Great at the Hollywood Improv, originally via Denver, RANDY M. WASHINGTON! The Empty Galpals have been good friends with Randy for a long time back in their Colorado stomping grounds, but as you know, the details get far deeper during the slumber party dream/nightmare that is Empty Girlfriend (AND IT WAS DOPE!) Randy is a sweet angel and a rare gentleman in a dwindling world of rare gents. LEARN LOVE FROM HIM & LISTEN TO HIS WONDERFUL MUSIC! Please. Goddamnit! https://soundcloud.com/pxlman 

We, the Empty Girlfriends, always develop a li'l crush on every single one of our guests

This week we have Memphis born, Denver comedian William Montgomery. William brings his insanity to the Empty Girlfriend podcast in the most delightful way. This week we discuss the dangers of porn, we find one positive to dating another comic, and we discuss the intense pains of being "ghosted" on. Finally, through all his banter William imparts some of the best advice the Empty Girlfriends have ever heard. Follow William on facebook and check out his show Talk Showdown at Voodoo Comedy Playhouse. Enjoy!

This is the re-release no one wanted. We are so grateful for this amazing conversation with the wonderful Heather Snow.

Heather had a helluva year starting a brand new relationship while also getting the news broken to her that she had Leukemia. We've been following Heather closely & adamantly supporting her #fuckcancer updates on facebook, and this week we listened in awe as she described undergoing intensive chemo treatment while ALSO maintaining a brand new relationship (holy CRAP what a BADASS) So join Christie, Haley and the incredible Miss Snow for a delightful episode and help us laugh in cancer's stupid face.

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"

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.

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.

In honor of our friend Jordan Wieleba who we will miss very much we decided to re-release her episode this week. This was our third episode ever recorded and our most listened to EG.

Though most of us know him as, HIPPIEMAN! 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.

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!
