Liquid Courage and Curiosities

Some childhood toys are sweet little reminders of simpler times.

And some childhood toys stare directly into your soul.

Today on Liquid Courage & Curiosities, we're meeting a very special vintage doll who has been part of my mom's life since childhood. She was one of her favorite toys, right alongside Raggedy Ann, and she's been lovingly kept all these years.

So obviously… I have questions.

Because this doll has HUGE eyes and can easily beat me in a staring contest, hands down.

She doesn't blink... But I guess most dolls don't... or shouldn't, I guess I should say!

And I swear those eyes have been following me around the room since I was a kid. In fact, I specifically remember one of my elementary school friends coming over, noticing the doll, and the two of us independently reaching the same conclusion:

“Okay… she's looking at us.” 😂

But underneath the creepy eyes and questionable surveillance abilities, there's a really sweet story about a beloved childhood toy that's survived for decades.

We'll talk about why vintage dolls can give us that wonderfully unsettling feeling, conduct a very unofficial Ghost Hunter Investigation, and attempt to determine whether this little lady is actually haunted…

or simply REALLY good at maintaining eye contact.

And of course, no questionable antique would be complete without a drink.

For this episode, we're pouring something that feels like an elegant Victorian tea party that may have taken a slightly suspicious turn.

Cocktail:

• Chilled Earl Grey tea
• Vodka
• Vanilla syrup
• Rosewater
• Oat milk
• Optional pistachio syrup
• Ice
• Dried rose petals for garnish

Mocktail:

• Chilled Earl Grey tea
• Vanilla syrup
• Rosewater
• Oat milk
• Optional pistachio syrup
• Ice
• Dried rose petals for garnish

And the pistachio is completely optional! If you don't have pistachio syrup, pistachio butter can also work as an alternative. And if nuts aren't your thing, simply leave the pistachio out altogether—the rose, vanilla, Earl Grey and creamy oat milk still make a lovely little tea-party drink.

My awesome hubby also lent his voice to the intro and gave his official thoughts on The Dollhouse Tea Party, because apparently every questionable beverage needs a second opinion. 😂

So grab yourself a drink, settle in, and whatever you do…

don't make direct eye contact with the doll.

She already knows you're there. 👁️

Have a weird antique? Strange family heirloom? Bizarre curiosity? Something sitting in your house that makes you say, “Okay… WHY do we still have this?”

🫖🍸 THE DOLLHOUSE TEA PARTY🎙️ Find Liquid Courage & Curiosities🎵 Music & Sound Credits

What happens when someone looks at a perfectly normal pencil sharpener and thinks, “You know what this needs? A nose.”

Well… apparently, you get a nose pencil sharpener. 👃✏️

And yes—the pencil goes right up the nostril.

Welcome to Liquid Courage & Curiosities, where we take weird objects, questionable inventions, and curious little treasures and give them the attention they absolutely did not ask for.

This episode’s star is a wonderfully ridiculous novelty pencil sharpener shaped like a human nose. Is it useful? Technically. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. Is it hilarious? Oh, absolutely.

We’re putting this bizarre desk accessory through our Weird Scale to determine whether it’s clever, cursed, comedy gold, or simply proof that somebody somewhere had a very creative afternoon.

And naturally, we needed a drink.

🥒🍸 Pickle Me This is our salty, tangy pickle-juice cocktail created specifically for this questionable occasion. Because apparently, once we're sharpening pencils through nostrils, we might as well put pickle juice in a glass.

It sounds weird.

It IS weird.

But… it actually works.

Cocktail 🍸

• 1½ oz vodka
• 1 oz pickle juice
• ½ oz lime juice
• 2 oz soda water
• Dash of hot sauce, optional
• Tajín or pickle salt rim, optional
• Pickle spear for garnish

Mocktail 🍹

• 1½ oz pickle juice
• ½ oz lime juice
• 3 oz soda water
• Dash of hot sauce, optional
• Tajín or pickle salt rim, optional
• Pickle spear for garnish

Not a pickle person? That's okay. Neither the pickle nor the nose sharpener will take it personally.

Probably.

And a big thank-you to my hubby for being part of the fun and helping bring the podcast to life! ❤️

So grab your drink, sharpen your curiosity, and join me for an object that proves one very important thing:

Just because you CAN put a pencil in a nose… doesn't necessarily mean you SHOULD.

But we're glad somebody did. 😂

Have you discovered a weird, ridiculous, or wonderfully unnecessary object that deserves its own episode?

🫖 The Teapot Nightlight: A Little Glow After Dark

What do you get when a sweet little floral teapot decides it no longer wants to pour tea and instead chooses a career in nighttime illumination?

✨ A teapot nightlight. ✨

This adorable little curiosity looks like it belongs at a cozy afternoon tea party… until you notice the plug. Because apparently, at some point, someone looked at a perfectly good teapot and thought:

“You know what this needs? Electricity.”

And honestly? We’re not mad about it.

This week on Liquid Courage & Curiosities, we’re getting cozy with a tiny glowing teapot, sipping on an Insomniac’s Tea Party, and putting our little porcelain friend into Witness Protection—because she definitely has a past.

Whether you choose lavender or chamomile, and whether you add a little liquid courage or keep things mocktail-friendly, this warm and cozy drink is the perfect companion for a late-night tea party.

So grab your favorite mug, dim the lights, and join us for a little nighttime glow, a little tea, and a teapot that may or may not be quietly supervising your late-night snack decisions. 🫖🌙✨

Choose lavender if you’re feeling fancy or chamomile if you’re ready to be wrapped in a blanket and emotionally unavailable to the rest of the evening. 😂

Both versions can be made as a cocktail or mocktail!

Cocktail

• 4+oz hot lavender tea
• 1½ vodka or gin
• ½ oz honey
• Small squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Mocktail

• 4+oz hot lavender tea
• ½ oz honey
• Small squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Cocktail

• 4+oz hot chamomile tea
• 1½ vodka or gin
• ½ oz honey
• Small squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Mocktail

• 4+oz hot chamomile tea
• ½ oz honey
• Small squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Brew your chosen tea and pour it into a heat-safe mug. Stir in the honey syrup and lemon juice. For the cocktail version, add your vodka or gin once the tea has cooled slightly.

Garnish with a lemon wheel, lavender sprig, or chamomile flowers, depending on your chosen tea.

Lavender if you’re feeling fancy. Chamomile if you’re ready to be wrapped in a blanket. Cocktail if you’re feeling courageous. Mocktail if you’re simply here for the cozy vibes.

She’s probably watching the hallway. 🫖🌙✨

Do I make you curious... baby? 😏

This week on Liquid Courage & Curiosities, we're getting positively shagadelic with one of the most gloriously ridiculous Christmas ornaments ever made—an Austin Powers ornament complete with Union Jack undies, textured chest hair, and enough mojo to make your tinsel blush.
✨ Would this ornament have a successful dating profile?
🍸 Was its designer a drunk genius... or simply operating at a level the rest of us may never understand?
🇬🇧 And perhaps most importantly... who looked at that magnificent chest hair and said, "Groovy... but let's add more."

Mix yourself a Hairy Chest Highball, grab your favorite holiday sweater (velvet is encouraged), and join me for a swinging trip into the wonderfully weird world of novelty Christmas décor.

Just remember...

Mojo isn't just a state of mind—apparently it's also a Christmas decorating style.

❤️ Special ThanksA huge thank-you to my wonderful hubby for spotting this gloriously groovy ornament. Your eye for delightfully bizarre treasures keeps this podcast stocked with enough curiosities to make even Dr. Evil raise an eyebrow.

Until next time, keep your curiosity groovy, protect your mojo, and remember...

Some Christmas ornaments sparkle. Others arrive wearing Union Jack undies and enough chest hair to deserve their own zip code. 😎🎄

Step aside, modern technology—this week on Liquid Courage & Curiosities we're taking a look at a fascinating antique stereoscope that may have been transporting people to scenic waterfalls, castles, and faraway places long before virtual reality was a thing. 👓✨

This incredible find came from Old Colorado City, where it was discovered (by Katie featured in this episode and me) at Antique Legacy. The tag on the piece actually said 1887, which immediately sent us down a rabbit hole of Victorian technology, optical illusions, and a completely randomly possibly reasonable theory involving cyclops-detection equipment.

Join us as we explore one of the most fascinating antiques and curiosities we've encountered so far, learn how stereoscopes transformed ordinary photographs into immersive 3D experiences, and visit the newly established Department of Historical Shenanigans, where we find the nearest available person, declare them a specialist, and immediately ignore them in favor of increasingly ridiculous theories.

Along the way, we'll discover how people in the 1800s experienced the world without leaving home, why this simple wooden device was once cutting-edge entertainment, and why humans have apparently always been looking for new ways to escape reality for a few minutes.

A huge thank you to our friend Katie for lending a helping hand during this adventure! ❤️

Sip something good, question something weird, and we'll see you next time. 🍻✨

⚠️ Tiny apology in advance if you hear a couple random bumping sounds during the courtroom scene 😂 I shifted my computer while recording on the couch and somehow created accidental courtroom sound effects. Naturally, I didn’t notice until everything was already recorded and finished… so honestly it kind of fits the chaos of this episode anyway.

In this hilariously chaotic episode of Liquid Courage & Curiosities, we put one of the most questionable “just in case” items EVER on trial. Are these backup undies genius preparedness… or evidence that someone has truly seen too much?

From suspicious road trips to gas station regret, this episode dives headfirst into bizarre inventions, weird objects, and the kind of funny history that makes you laugh and immediately question humanity. We also discuss the phrase “fits most adults” like the threat it clearly is, tackle some very bold Taylor Swift Eras Tour dedication, and investigate one tiny tin carrying an uncomfortable amount of emotional weight.

🍹 DRINK FEATURE — Spare Pair Spritz

Because if your day has reached emergency underpants level… you deserve a drink that at least feels a little classy.

The Spare Pair Spritz is light, peachy, crisp, and ridiculously easy to sip. It’s refreshing enough to feel like a reset button for your life choices, with just enough sparkle to make the chaos feel manageable. Basically? It tastes like pretending everything is under control.

🍹Cocktail Version:🍹
3 oz Prosecco
1 oz peach nectar or juice
Splash of soda water

🍹Mocktail Version:🍹
3 oz peach juice
2 oz sparkling water
Splash of lemon-lime soda

Optional garnish: peach slice or lemon twist

Bonus tip: Want the mocktail to feel closer to the cocktail version? Try alcohol-free Prosecco (yes, it exists and you can find it online). Some reviews say it’s not super bubbly, but it still gives strong “I’m having a real drink” energy.

Huge thank you to the Hubby!! for his awesome voice in the intro, sharing his thoughts on the Spare Pair Spritz, and absolutely committing to the courtroom chaos in this episode. We were cracking up behind the scenes recording this one 🤣💛

What happens when antique (or at least vintage) doll parts… get a second life as floral décor?

In this delightfully unhinged episode of Liquid Courage & Curiosities, we explore a bizarre and beautiful oddities expo find—porcelain doll heads, arms, and legs turned into planters, filled with dried flowers and delicate book page blooms.

It’s giving vintage charm…
it’s giving creative reuse…
it’s also giving why does this feel like it’s watching me?

While we don’t know the exact age of these dolls, they likely date somewhere in the early-to-mid 1900s—back when porcelain dolls were popular, delicate, and very easy to break. Instead of being tossed, pieces like these often found new life… and today, they’ve been transformed into something equal parts elegant and slightly unsettling.

Then things take a turn as we’re hit with an aggressively enthusiastic Infomercial From Hell, pitching “The Porcelain Bloom Collection” like it’s the must-have home décor item of the century… whether we like it or not.

If you love an oddities podcast packed with weird objects, antiques and curiosities, and funny history, you’re in the right place.

Pretty, floral, and just a little suspicious—this drink fits the vibe perfectly.

• 1.5–2 oz vodka (adjust to preference)
• ¾ oz rose syrup
• Splash of lemon juice
• More-than-a-splash cranberry juice
• ~⅓ oz water

Shake or stir with ice and serve chilled. Garnish with a lemon slice or dried rose petals if you’re feeling fancy.

• Lemonade
• ½–¾ oz rose syrup (to taste)
• More-than-a-splash cranberry juice
• Tiny splash of water (optional)

Serve over ice for that same soft pink, slightly eerie aesthetic.

We want to see it!!

What do you get when you combine a formal living room, a dramatic vintage lady, and a box of tissues?

Apparently…a woman whose skirt is liCHrully full of emotional support.

In this episode of Liquid Courage & Curiosities, your go-to oddities podcast, we’re diving into one of the most wonderfully unnecessary pieces of antiques and curiosities we’ve seen yet — the lady dress tissue box.

Why did this exist?Who decided tissues needed this level of elegance?And how many emotional breakdowns has she silently witnessed over the years?

We explore the function, the vibes, and the absolute drama of this weird object, complete with a dating profile that proves she’s classy, supportive… and maybe just a little judgmental.

And of course, we’ve got the perfect drink pairing:The Ugly Cry Punch — sweet, slightly dramatic, and officially rated 5 out of 5 stars by my hubby (because yes… it’s sweet).

This episode blends funny history, vintage charm, and a whole lot of personality — because around here, curiosity always comes with a drink in hand.

🍸 Drink Recipe — The Ugly Cry PunchAlcoholic Version🥤 Non-Alcoholic Version🎵 Credits & Contributions

This week on Liquid Courage & Curiosities, we’re diving into a small but mighty mystery… a bubbly little piece of botryoidal quartz from Colorado that looks suspiciously like grapes… and somehow ended up with a tiny wizard cat sitting on top of it.

Naturally, we had questions.

Is it geology?Is it decor?Is it the beginning of a quest?

We may not have answers… but we did name it.

Introducing: grape rock. 🍇

And of course, we paired it with a drink to match the chaos — the ✨ Sparkling Crystal Elixir ✨ — a shimmery sip that looks like it came straight out of a wizard’s cabinet (complete with grape garnish, because we commit to a theme).

Huge thanks to my amazing man for lending his voice to the intro, popping in mid-episode, and delivering that perfectly dramatic “booming” voice moment — truly iconic.

This episode of Liquid Courage & Curiosities features a tiny treasure chest… with teeth.

Found at an Oddities & Curiosities Expo, this little monster box looks like it escaped straight out of a dungeon crawl and decided to live on my shelf instead. With sharp fangs, suspicious eyes, and serious “do not open” energy, this might be the only storage container that could bite back.

To match the chaos, tonight’s drink is The Mimic Bite, made two ways —a fizzy black cherry, lime, and ginger mocktail,or the tavern-approved version with a shot of rum for extra courage.

We also put this questionable little treasure on trial for fun, because any box with teeth probably has something to answer for.

Special shout-out to my man for the awesome intro voice!Intro & outro music: The Great Days of Chicago by TokyoRifft (Pixabay)Sound effects were mostly homemade, with the straw/slurp from freesound_community.
