Cootie Catchers, Doppelgängers, and Just Enough Nostalgia to Get Us in Trouble!

from The Curious Cocktail Podcast · host The Curious Cocktail

This episode spirals from innocent schoolyard games and cootie catchers into doppelgänger run-ins, dating habits shaped by ’90s movies, and a miracle ointment that can create humans....and apparently heal shoulder injuries!Along the way, the conversation drifts through mistaken identities, first crush logic, awkward social rules we somehow agreed to, and a few awkward blast-from-the past stories, involving a homecoming game, WAY too much alcohol, ending in a personal ride home in a squad car.It’s reckless nostalgia, questionable science, and memories that shaped the fabric of our future selves. The cherry on top was a surprise guest appearance by the witty and wishful Melly Wahlberg.
