Brains, beauty, and bold moves—welcome to Model Behavior. Hosted by research scientist and model Macy Ricketts, this podcast explores the science of success, social dynamics, and the moments that make life interesting. From decoding the art of a legendary weekend to unpacking modern dating, ambition, and the unwritten rules of social circles, Model Behavior is where intellect meets real life. Whether it's a personal story, cultural deep dive, or a well-timed reality check, this is your space for candid conversations, bold choices, and embracing the journey with confidence.
What’s a baddie to do when she momentarily forgets who she is? Spiral a little, stay busy, and then talk about it on a podcast. This episode is a full life update—winter travel, balancing modeling/research/Lagree, and a slightly unhinged studio moment (yes, someone started a fire). Plus, one random highlight: I got to ride a Zamboni at a pro hockey game. But mostly, I open up about some confidence struggles I’ve been working through and how I’m pulling myself out of it. What do you do when you're in a slump season and need a refresh? I want to hear about it.

The Jump Shot Guide to Sliding into the DMs
If my mom can successfully shoot her shot at an NHL legend, you can definitely handle that DM you’ve been sitting on. Today, we’re talking shot selection, signature "soup" bases, and why your IG profile is doing more work than you think. I’m sharing a recent DM win (and a few losses) of my own to prove that authenticity beats a canned pickup line every single time. Stop overthinking the "send" button—we’ve got a survival guide to get through!

Are You a Silly Goose or a Silly Goose Ally?
This week, I’m breaking down a very important (and very scientific) question: are you dating a silly goose, a silly goose ally, or—worst of all—the fun police?
After running a highly controlled “ice cream flavor test” on one pro hockey All-Star (peer-reviewed by me and Meghan), I realized something: early-stage dating is basically one long improv exercise. And not everyone is equipped for the power play.
We’re getting into:
Why banter is one of the strongest indicators of compatibility early on
The psychology of humor, intelligence, and cognitive flexibility
Why some people can commit to the bit… and others panic
What your texting chemistry reveals about long-term relationship potential
And how to tell if it’s a bad bit… or just the wrong test subject
Let's be so honest for a sec: you're not just looking for someone attractive—you’re looking for someone who can keep up.
Consider this your field guide to modern dating… one silly goose at a time.
