0:00.0	Hi everyone, it's Sophia and welcome back to work in progress.
0:14.0	Today's guest is a powerhouse comedian and activist. She is also to my great delight
0:20.0	of returning guests to the podcast, Chelsea Hamler. Last time Chelsea was on the pod, we talked
0:25.6	a bit about her book, Life Will Be the Death of Me and You Two, and her documentary, Hello,
0:30.8	Privilege, It's Me Chelsea. Since then, Chelsea has put out a new special called Evolution
0:36.3	on HBO Max, about how her rage from the 2016 election and the Trump presidency led her to therapy,

2:01.1	anxiety about reentry, you know? Yeah. I mean, yeah. But fair. The last time I saw you, we were
2:10.8	waving to each other from behind masks in a parking lot because you were doing a night of evolution
2:15.4	in an LA. Oh, yeah, my premier. That's a dry special. Yeah. The evolution HBO Max. Oh, my God,
2:22.5	that was such a fun night. Wasn't it? I had to be on a double deck of bus driving through LA,
2:27.7	and then they dropped me off at my premiere. And I was like, I go, okay, and I want to go get off the
