The Flask At Hand Podcast

Listen as your hilarious hosts take you on a fantastically unprofessional whiskey tasting and reviewing journey followed by true, interesting sometimes strange and useless facts about persons, places and things in the world we know today. So, if you love history and science and you're part of the same simulation we are, sit back, push play, sip, listen, learn and laugh with us. Enjoy the show!

    Ep. 34 What the Eff-ect?

    Ep. 34: What the Eff-ect?! Buckle up, folks, because this episode is about to get a little...strange. Join us as we delve into some fascinating psychological effects and phenomena, all while sipping and savoring the rich, peaty goodness of Laphroaig Lore whiskey. First up, the autokinetic effect - the trippy illusion that a stationary point of light in the dark appears to be moving. We'll discuss how researchers have used this effect in their studies, and how it might just make your Laphroaig glass seem like it's dancing across the table. Don't worry, it's all in your head (we think). Next, we tackle the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, also known as frequency illusion. This is when something you just learned about suddenly starts popping up everywhere. Like how the Laphroaig Lore bottle design is now all you can see, even in your dreams. Is the whisky controlling your mind? Probably. Finally, we laugh about the Coolidge effect - the tendency for sexual interest to be revived by new partners, even after satiety with a previous one. We'll explore the evolutionary origins of this effect and how it manifests in the animal kingdom (and occasionally, human behavior). Just don't go trying to test this theory after a few too many drams, mmkay? Throughout our discussion, we'll be sipping and savoring the complex flavors of Laphroaig Lore. From its smoky, peaty notes to its hints of vanilla and spice, we'll dissect how this unique whisky perfectly complements the psychological topics at hand. Or is it the other way around? The lines may start to blur after a while. So pour yourself a dram, get cozy, and join us as we explore the intriguing (and occasionally mind-bending) world of human behavior and perception - all while enjoying the exceptional Laphroaig Lore. Just try not to get too distracted by any moving lights or sudden urges. We've got a podcast to record!

    Ep 33: Three Woods, Half a Brain

    The Flask at Hand is back and kicking this episode off with a tasting of Auchentoshan Three Wood, a Lowland single malt aged in bourbon, Oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez casks. We break down its soft, marshmallowy mouth feel and dark cherry flavors pondering just how much whiskey is too much before discussing bizarre science. From there, we dive into the fascinating world of dolphins and how unihemispheric sleep is necessary for their survival. Then, we take an unexpected turn into the surprising uses of poop as medicine (some not AS useful as others). We then delve into some early hypnosis tales that lead to experiments suggesting that plants might "respond" to stressors under polygraph testing. Can plants feel our thoughts? A dram in hand, a mind full of weird facts—just another night with The Flask at Hand. Thanks for listening!

    Ep.32 Save the Potatoes!

    Welcome to The Flask at Hand, the only show where we go deep—both into the ocean and into our whisky glasses (sometimes deeper than intended). Tonight, we raise a glass of Compass Box Oak Cross, a whisky so good they had to discontinue it—probably to keep us from getting too powerful. While we sip, we’ll be diving into some deep-sea madness: a secret mission to raise a Russian submarine (because everyone loves a good Cold War heist), the eerie glow of bioluminescent creatures (nature’s own rave party), and the mind-blowing ways marine medicine is saving lives—possibly including yours after this pour. And, of course, we’ll stir up some controversy with deep-sea mining, where humans do what we do best: argue about whether we’re ruining the planet or not. So grab a drink, hold your breath, and join us as we explore the ocean’s strangest secrets—preferably before the whisky kicks in.

    Ep 28: The Mysterious Origin Of The Fortune Cookie, Seattle: A Buried City and Beasts, Phenoms and Lore from the great Pacific North west

    On this episode of The Flask At Hand Podcast we once again return to our random facts, things and stuffs episode platform. Our whiskey tonight is Benjamin's Bourbon from local distillery Valley Shine in Mount Vernon, WA just a few miles down the road from us! The glasses we're pouring this tasty bourbon in come from another local company called Whiskey Whisdom and the verdict on their American Whiskey Glass is.... it's the best thing since sliced bread. We are literally retiring our glen Cairn glasses. Go to https://www.whiskeywhisdom.com/ to get your American whiskey Glasses and start really enjoying your whisk[e]y.  After the whiskey we jump straight into some very interesting topics. We'll travel to 13th century China to try and find out who, what, where and when gave us the virtually tasteless yet fun cookie, the fortune cookie. Could it have really been invented in America? Next we travel beck to our home State and find out what lies beneath the streets of Seattle... Turns out, it's still Seattle just an older version that was buried and rebuilt upon thanks to the great Seattle fire of 1889. You can still tour the underground ruins of the forgotten city. Finally, the fantastic beasts, phenomenon and Lore surrounding the Pacific North West. From the Native American Thunder Bird, jellyfish rain to a bottomless pit of paranormal activity you'll be sure to want to stick around for the whole show. As always, Thank you dear listeners for all of your support. Enjoy the show.
