On Our Best Behavior
When Life Gives You Signs, High-Five Yourself in the Mirror
How do you know when the universe is sending you a sign? In what might be our most unexpectedly profound conversation yet, Mac and I explore the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways life communicates with us during our darkest moments.
After what I described as "one of the shittiest weeks of my life," I found myself reaching for a nighttime t-shirt only to pull out my Christmas shirt with "believe" written across it. Coincidence? Maybe. But it felt like exactly the message I needed, exactly when I needed it. This sparked a fascinating discussion about the different ways we seek meaning during difficult times.
While I've found comfort in morning affirmations (saying "I am lucky and everything is going to go my way" while high-fiving myself in the mirror). Our conversation reveals how deeply personal our coping strategies are, whether through finding signs, practicing affirmations, or just giving ourselves space to heal.
Between deeper moments, we weave through lighter territory - from my obsessive clothing rotation system (which Mac finds utterly baffling) to the fictional chicken "Dolly Carton" who has radio listeners unnecessarily up in arms. We share mind-blowing fun facts (did you know apples float because they're 25% air?) and play trivia games that unexpectedly reveal both what we know and how differently we approach life's challenges.
Whether you're looking for signs from the universe or simply trying to make it through a tough day, this episode reminds us that finding meaning is deeply personal - and sometimes, the most powerful coping mechanism is simply believing that everything will be okay. Share your own experiences with signs and synchronicities - we'd love to hear how the universe speaks to you!

Hey guys, welcome back to Honor Best Behavior. You're here with Mac and Kelly, do you?
Speaker 2:know what time it is.
Speaker 1:Podcast time.
Speaker 2:I don't know Peanut butter jelly time, because you just came in here eating a crunchy peanut butter sandwich and that's all I can smell in your breath and your sprite. Yup, there it is, whoop there it is, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I was hungry okay, last night I was waiting for you to. We were supposed to record the podcast. Last night somebody fell asleep, somebody, I wonder who. You and usually it's me, I'm usually the one that can't and you felt I thought you were downstairs like when I was like I'm ready for you. I totally thought you were downstairs Like when I was like I'm ready for you. I totally thought you were downstairs like deep in a game that you like had to finish your mission, and then I kept hearing your alarm clock going off and off, and off and off and then I'm like, oh, he's not gaming, he is napping, and I don't think you woke up until eight ish eight ish, it was like 8 12 because I made grilled turkey and cheese sandwiches and I didn't wake you up because I saw you had already had a peanut butter sandwich.
Speaker 2:So I'm like, well, he's not starving, and if he's hungry we can figure it out. And you were having a peanut butter sandwich again today.
Speaker 1:You're good. You're freaking good Okay.
Speaker 2:I can't hear you.
Speaker 1:They're good Talking to Mike I am I'm like right in front of it.
Speaker 2:You were back here. All right, tell me if you can Tell me when you can hear me better or not. Can you tell when I was far and close? No, because you don't have headphones on.
Speaker 1:This is how I found out you have a TV, hey, so today, this is what we're going to be doing.
Speaker 2:Okay, delilah, what do you mean? There used to be this, we've talked about this. There used to be a lady on Light 102 FM and her name was Delilah and she had the most calming voice, more like yours but not as high as mine.
Speaker 1:I talk like so today we're going to get ready to do it Like I sound like a dumbass.
Speaker 2:Well, why would you want to do that then?
Speaker 1:I don't know, it just pisses me off, so I did it. There's this one guy that keeps popping up on TikTok and he sounds like this. And I was like I was like talking. I was like I video, you have no energy, I can't with that. You were watching it, right, but you watched it. No, I didn't. I watched the first video. I'm like I'm not watching this. This guy has no energy. He sounds like he just woke up. He's like so today? Wait, oh my god, I just followed.
Speaker 1:He's like so today she said we're gonna be doing this and I was like I am not, we're not watching this like now you know.
Speaker 2:Now you know about the energy and and that's the reason why I didn't wake you up to record last night, Because I'm like his energy is not going to be there- yeah, I don't like it yeah. Yeah, I'm here. I don't have anything to say, I just woke up, hey guys. Welcome back to Take a Poop. That made you laugh. That was funny. All right, I have a question for you. It's a real serious one, do?
Speaker 1:you believe in signs.
Speaker 2:Do you know what that means? Like if you see something, it means like something good is going to happen, or something bad is going to happen. Yeah, I use that as a coping mechanism. I do. That's what it is. So tell me, do you have an example of when that happened to you?
Speaker 1:No, no, no Okay. Kind of happens all the time? Actually, not really.
Speaker 2:Well, if you think of a story, I want to hear it, so pipe in. I'm going to tell you my story of why I believe in signs. Okay, so remember, when we recorded last week, I said it had been probably one of the, if not the shittiest weeks of my life. I was really sad and depressed and I'm getting better. I have good days and bad days, but I'm getting better. But anyway, that night, more of the good days, more good times than bad times.
Speaker 1:That's good, that's good, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 2:But I'm a freak about my clothes, so I have everything on a rotation. So, for example, my underwear drawer like I put all my clean underwear I have all my underwear, socks and bra is in the same drawer and I put all the clean stuff in the front and then when I go to get socks or underwear or a bra, I take it from the back. So that way it's always something you know, like there's a rotation where everything is getting used equally you got me lost here.
Speaker 1:Like what do you mean? Like I'm lost, like you start from the back and you go up to the front.
Speaker 2:So so I put the new stuff in the front and then when? I go to like find a pair of socks, I take it from the back and then, when I have room in the front, I shove it back so that all the stuff's in the back.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, so that the oldest stuff is getting worn before the newest stuff.
Speaker 2:That makes sense, and then same with like my, my hoodies about 500 of them that I wear them in order that they're hanging up, and so when I wear one, then I, when it gets clean, then I put it to the front of the line and then I always wear the one that's in the back of the line next.
Speaker 1:oh, yeah, you know me, I'm so organized. You live out of a laundry basket, it's easy, I get up boom, boom done. It takes me like sometimes your laundry baskets.
Speaker 2:You just keep it right next to the shower so that you can just grab it out of there when you, after you, take your shower.
Speaker 1:You just pick your clean clothes out of there.
Speaker 2:I just underwear and then I just go, I just I'll go downstairs like what so in my t-shirt drawer, because I know you guys have all been dying to know what I wear to bed. And what I wear to bed at night is sweatpants and a t-shirt, because I'm hot like that and don't spit out your sprite over there. I'm not, and um, so I do the same thing with my all my t-shirts. Like I I put I actually put the clean ones in the back and then in the. When I go to get a t-shirt that I'm gonna wear, take it from the front and then I rotate them and I push them up so that everybody's getting equally worn. This is one of my ocd things that I have. And anyway, long, long story long when I went to pull out long yeah, because it was supposed.
Speaker 2:You know, it's usually like long story, short long story. It's long because I was supposed to make it short, but here we are, okay. Um, so I went to grab my shirt that I was gonna wear and it was my christmas shirt and it said believe it. And so then I knew that that was a sign that everything was going to be okay. And then I started feeling better.
Speaker 1:That's good.
Speaker 2:Then my good friend Wendy told me that she saw something, probably on a reel, because she loves those. And what you're supposed to say every day when you look in the mirror and you get up is you say I am lucky and everything is going to go my way. And I did that today. I did that today, did you hear me? No, because you're still sleeping. And I had a good day, oh, that's good.
Speaker 2:Also, I listened to the Mel Robbins podcast and I really like her. I know there's a lot of haters and I usually wouldn't like people who are super popular and number two on the podcast list, because I feel like us indie podcasters need some recognition, but I love her and she told me to high five myself in the mirror every morning and then you'll have a good day because it's just putting good energy out there. So I've been high fiving myself, talking to myself, and things are getting better.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's good.
Speaker 2:See, you could bring up your energy that way. What do you?
Speaker 1:mean.
Speaker 2:High-five yourself in the mirror, Say I am so lucky and everything's going my way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no. Or you could say like when you have a test.
Speaker 2:You could be like I'm ready for this and I'm going to nail it.
Speaker 1:No, no, like I'm ready for this and I'm gonna nail it no, no, okay, nope, okay, all right. Well, just the thought that didn't work for me. I usually say I'm gonna do so bad. See, like reverse. Uh, what's it called?
Speaker 2:reverse psychology. That can't be helpful. That works all the time on other. That's supposed to work on other people, not yourself.
Speaker 1:You can't trick yourself it works, though okay, like 50 of the time, so that's a pretty good win rate that is a not a good stat.
Speaker 2:50 50 is a flip of a coin. Everything is 50 50 that's great oh, all right, so anyway, I believe in signs. I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes and I am happy now living without you. I let you go, I don't even know, if that's a sign I like to sing.
Speaker 2:This room is real echoey so I feel like I can just really belt it out. Alright, all you local Minnesota country lovers. We are still on 102.9 the Wolf every morning talking about our chicken, dolly Carton, and some people got pretty riled up about Dolly this past week.
Speaker 1:Just your chicken.
Speaker 2:You live under a rock. Dolly Carton is the fictitious chicken not real, doesn't exist. That I have been talking to K-102. Sorry, 102.9 the Wolf every morning and the whole bit is that she's supposed to lay one egg every day by Good Friday, which is the 18th, and if she does, then we keep her and the listeners get free eggs. And if she doesn't lay 18 eggs by the 18th, then she's going to become chicken nuggets and people have really gotten up in a tizzy about that so if you listen to that bit and if you're listening to this podcast, I'm gonna let you in on a big secret dolly carton doesn't exist.
Speaker 2:There's no dolly Carton.
Speaker 1:There's no chicken. I really wanted chicken nuggets.
Speaker 2:There's a few chickens that I have in my backyard for, but Dolly Carton is a fictitious chicken, so she will not be made into chicken nuggets, because she doesn't exist.
Speaker 1:I wanted chicken.
Speaker 2:So calm the fuck down people.
Speaker 1:Whoa, you're really loud there.
Speaker 2:And, if you know me, I would never kill a chicken.
Speaker 1:Okay, we know, mom, you get mad when we kill animals in a video game.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, it makes me sad, it makes me sad.
Speaker 1:It's not real.
Speaker 2:However, I do eat chicken and I do eat beef, and I do eat pork and I do eat meat. What is your thing? Chirping for your phone? What is that?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:What does that app mean I happening? It's tiktok, oh, it's probably logan sending me something. Oh, people are sending you stuff. All right, yeah, we had to have our streak going, so anyway, I eat all the things. I just like to live in oblivion. That they do just come from the grocery store, not from something living, breathing, whatever, whatever. If I had to survive in the wild and kill animals, I'd probably die, unless I could just live off a fish.
Speaker 1:So that's where I'm at you would probably die wait what if you listen to this on 1.5, I'm talking really fast. Yeah, you said a lot within like 10 seconds. I'm not even going to lie.
Speaker 2:Did it register? I got excited.
Speaker 1:no, uh, yeah, do you know what I was talking about?
Speaker 2:eating food from the grocery store, and I wouldn't be able to survive unless I could only eat fish because I wouldn't kill an animal, but I can get a fish, that's fine.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, you're so nasty dude, I gotta get it out. I don't want to do you want me to have stomachache? Yeah, I do, just kidding, wow, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2:If you could see the way that you looked at me, you were just like what You'd want me to get a tummy ache.
Speaker 1:It's not like I looked at you and burped at you. I literally looked away, I know, but you can make your burps quieter. No, but then I don't get all the air out, oh, okay.
Speaker 2:You're a pusher like your aunt. Yeah, she's like eh, I don't do that.
Speaker 1:I don't I promise okay in the car. Well, that's not in public I'm in the car, no one else is gonna hear me except for the people in the car, so like, come on come on, you gotta give me credit for that all right what?
Speaker 2:all right, so I should have forewarned you. I was gonna ask you this because I know you won't be prepared, but I always like to do. What are you watching, reading, gaming? So what are?

Do you want to know how I cope? Yeah, I just go to sleep because I feel like time heals everything. Well, I don't know, I cope a lot so you just get through it, not like that deep of cope.
Speaker 1:It's like dumb cope, like I don't need to cope over, but I do okay but you don't know how you cope like it. It doesn't mean anything, just like certified turtle. Okay, I guess, I guess yeah.

It's not my cup of tea, I'm not a fantasy reader, but it's I. I'll read all of them just because I got this far.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God.

Speaker 2:That was funny. Guess what I got in the mail this week, what I got? A carhartt beanie and this lady that I know on the she embroidered like hand-stitched Aria, did you see?
Speaker 1:it Actually no idea.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's so cute. I'll put a picture of it on our Instagram so everyone can see it. It's so cute, so I'm wearing it every day.
Speaker 1:I wore it today, I'm going to wear it tomorrow and it was 70 degrees. It's not even cold out.
Speaker 2:I know, but it's cute.
Speaker 2:You're pulling a Logan right now. It's cute. I like Logan, I don't have a problem with that. I don't have a problem with Logan either. All right, today, let me tell you, today I started out real rough, why, I don't know. Something's been happening with me. Maybe it's stress, maybe it's whatever. I don't think I know what you needed, but I woke up so nauseous. So then what I do is I usually have some leftover diet Mountain Dew from the night before and I put it in the fridge Because then in the morning I can chug the rest of that diet Dew and then that kind of helps calm down my stomach. And I really like coffee, but this coffee that I have right now it's on the stronger side, and then sometimes that makes me feel a little nauseous. And then I was like I need a pick me up. Real bad, because it's 830 and I'm ready to go back to bed and I had me some magic mind. I shit you not. I didn't even get through that whole bottle and I was ready to go.
Speaker 1:Is that what saves? Is that your strategy for coping?
Speaker 2:Yeah, sometimes you get your coping out of the way. Yeah, sometimes when I need it.
Speaker 1:Is it the problem solver?
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, it is the problem solver that's good I also have another story about it. Okay, so the other week, me and my friend, we were gonna go to this retirement party and it was on a friday night, so we had to work all day and then we had to go to the retirement party and we knew it was going to be just like a long day and night, because we didn't go home, we got ready at work and went to the party and my friend Wendy, she was like, oh, I really need to pick me up, I don't want any caffeine because I'll never be able to sleep tonight.
Speaker 2:And I'm like, well, go have some tea. And she's like I feel like that's gonna have the same problem. And all of a sudden I was like, oh, I think I have some, matt. She goes, do you have any of that magic mind? And I go, oh yeah, I do have some in my drawer here. And so I gave her some and she's like that helped me so much.
Speaker 2:I felt energized, I felt focused, I felt ready to mingle and I still slept really good at night oh yeah so that is another reason why you should be shooting the magic mind shooting your shot okay, so I've been loving, loving the magic mind and guess what? I just got an email notification that our next Magic Mind is going to ship because we got a subscription. So we don't have to remember to order more, because you know how good I am at remembering to do anything unless I've had my Magic Mind.
