Prepare your ears, humans. Happy, sad, confused, begins now.

Today on Happy Second Fused, Chelsea Hamler gets funny and personal in her HBO Max special, Evolution.

Hey guys, I'm Josh Harlow. It's welcome to another edition of Happy, sad, confused, another first time guest on today's podcast.

The very talented, the very funny, Chelsea handler.

Different sort of guests then we usually have on the podcast, but I'm thrilled nonetheless to have Chelsea because she has done so much amazing work over the last, I guess, probably decade plus, especially, is really when she kind of came into her own.

But a celebrated stand-up comedian, a talk show host, an author. She has a new podcast. She's kind of dabbled in everything, everything, and really succeeded in every aspect of the industry.

And when you just get right down to it, she's super talented, super smart and funny, and opinionated, and willing to tell it like it is, and these are all the aspects that you want in a great guest.

So thrilled to talk to this very, very funny and talented person who has a bunch of new projects worth checking out.

She enjoyed Chelsea's new, I guess, new ish. She taped it during the pandemic, it came out, I think, a few months ago, but it's kind of getting a second life as we get into Emmy Consideration season and all that kind of fun stuff.

But I'm glad that this gave me a chance to catch up with Evolution, which is on HBO Max, which is a stand-up special.

I think partially adapted from one of her recent books. But as I alluded to, it's very funny and very personal.

It touches on all the aspects of Chelsea's life that you're used to hearing, whether it's sex and drugs, but also gets pretty deep and personal by the end, talking about her own losses as a kid from losing a brother at a horribly young age and her dad, and the effects that those losses have had on her life.

So really, really dug that one. Also, I've really enjoyed her own podcast, which she launched very recently called Dear Chelsea, well worth checking out.

It is, as you would guess, from the title, essentially Chelsea and her friend. I think her personal assistant's name is Brandon, if I remember correctly, and he's kind of the co-host.

And they dispense advice, people send in, or they call in, actually, and they have the callers on the show, which is great.

And also, they have, like, sober to guests, like Charlie Starron, you know, dropped in once on a recent episode.

And yeah, again, very funny, very interesting, and well worth checking out, Dear Chelsea is the podcast.

So that's the main event on today's happy, said, confused. As always, a bunch of other things to mention.

I think I teased a couple of these things last week, but by now, the conversation with Emma Stone that I conducted for MTV News is up on MTV News' YouTube page.

Check out my social media as well. I put it up there. Dwightful chat with Emma, who I've known virtually since the start.

I didn't actually talk to her for super bad, but I didn't meet her on the rocker. Anybody remember the rocker out there, in which she starred opposite Rain Wilson?

I have some stories about covering that one. Nothing bad about any of the talent, but it's just some funny stories that I'll share at some point, if you guys are so interested.
