I don't know what's going to happen next, but yeah, so what now. We're back. Hello.

Welcome to So what now. We could be a girl group. That's it. We totally could. We harmonized.

We did. What now? They left. We just lost all of our listeners. I love when podcasters can really sing. Like, I love when Lex bust out, like, singing from Poor Minds. I didn't sound like Lex just now. Is that where you're saying? No, you didn't. But I think you can't. I think you're a good rapper.

Go ahead.

Give me so what now. I can't. I can't. They got to pay for that. Next time. They got to pay for that. Oh, you know, guys, when we start this episode, I want you guys to make sure you check in with yourself. How are you feeling? But also, how are you feeling, Fran? I'm feeling real good. I'm a podcaster now. I know that's right. Like, I feel good. I'm starting to feel settled. You got to add it to your bio. I know I got to add it to my bio, you know. I'm excited. I love coming at High Hello Labs every week. Yes. Recording. No, you're going to be obsessed coming here. So this is our home base here at High Hillel lives in Orlando. We're Orlando Gurley's Florida. Full separate chopper city. Blah, black, brach, what? Y'all jits out there. We've grown women. What's up? So we are in Florida. We had a cold front for the past two days.

Yeah.

I turned on my seat heaters, the car heater. Not the house. I love the house cold. So I was excited about that. But you can tell me it went winter. Yeah. My feel good this week is about something to do with like the weather in Florida. Like I'm loving it right now. But we'll talk about that later. But I'm feeling good.

Like, how are you feeling?

I'm good.

I think that it feels natural.

Yeah. But I'm not going to lie to you. What? I still have, I, I, I, when I said it, the first episode that we did, I didn't realize how much I am fearful of that. You're not leaving? No, no, no, no.

You ain't going nowhere. No, just of like conflict with our friendship. And I want to make sure that while we're doing this podcast, we're constantly checking in. Like, how do you feel? What are things? I want to make sure that that's a thing that we do. And I feel like a lot of people should do that with friends, period. Yeah, for sure. Like do have your checkings, how are you feeling where are you at?

Like, is there anything more that I can do for you? Or is there anything that I'm doing that's pissing you off? I appreciate that, friend. I do because I don't want it. I don't have space in my life or conflict or feeling like, ugh, like, icky with someone. because I just want to, especially when it's like a good friend, like somebody that you love. Yeah. How are you feeling like?

Do you think that fear also leans to like so many people that you were close to? Like as far as like family wise that you're not. Yeah. Because it's like once you're toxic to me or I'm not able to function because I'm constantly anxious, I got to remove myself.

I mean, I'm going to have the conversations first, which I feel like now instead of waiting on something feeling that way, I just want to check in and be like, hey, we're good? Yeah. Like, how are you feeling? It doesn't mean that there has to be a conflict. It's just like, how are you feeling? Is there anything in your life for now you want me to be conscious of?

Is there something that right now, this is sensitive?

Don't touch on there because I will troll.

I will push.

I.

And, How are you feeling? Is there anything in your life right now you want me to be conscious of? Yeah. Is there something that right now this is sensitive? Don't touch on there because I will troll. I will push.

I, and especially because I want good for you.

Exactly. And someone I love, I will push on something. But then let's try this instead. Let's try that. Yeah, I don't want you to be, like, afraid to give me, like, feedback on, like, how I can improve or how things can be better, though, for fear of, like, creating conflict in our relationship.
