I repurpose those inverted dish soap bottles for all kinds of things. In my car detailing supplies they hold foam gun soap, tire and wheel cleaner and leather conditioner. You should try one for your maple syrup.

[@BrockMcGoff]

That’s such a good idea!

0:01 As soon as I saw that yellow racquet, I immediately knew what that was, Brock! Our friend bought a two-pack and gave us the extra mosquito-zapping racquet! It’s so gratifying to hear the crackling of a frying winged insect! Mosquitos are killed on contact. Flies however, usually require two zaps as the first contact usually stuns them. My hundred-pound German Shepherd usually gets to the downed flies before I can give them the coup-de-grace; he loves sky raisins! 😂

Great video. Enjoy how your content has evolved over the past few years. These are very relevant to my lifestyle. Dad/Husband advice 😂

[@LyonTheGreat]

I won't comment on the microplastics issue because that's still being actively researched, but in regards to wooden boards being inherently less sanitary, that's simply not true. Wood has natural antimicrobial properties and any bacteria that manages to seep between the grain well eventually die so long as the board is kept clean and dry overall. Plastic can go into the dishwasher though, so I think they're on equal footing when it comes to sanitation.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Thanks. I wish more people would take a data driven approach to stuff like this. I say that about wood boards because I’ve worked at a couple restaurants and never saw them (mostly due to all the meat being handled). They’re probably fine in the home if you have good cleaning habits, but I still prefer plastic.

[@LyonTheGreat]

​@@BrockMcGoffyeah the reason why wooden boards aren't nearly as common in professional kitchens is specifically because they're more expensive and cannot go into the dishwasher. In my area I usually see them being used to prepare sushi, but that's about it.

[@freewaytf]

@@BrockMcGoff Instead of wood or (micro)plastic cutting boards, i would advise for tempered glass ones

Crown bourbon aged maple syrup from costco and silicone earplugs... game changers man

[@farkasambrus5741]

Wood cutting boards are definitely better than plastic ones, it is just factually not true that they're less sanitary.

[@BrockMcGoff]

How are they better? Wood *can* be as sanitary, if you hand wash and dry after each use and treat the surface with the right oils. Do most people do that? Probably not. But plastic boards can be machine washed, bleached, etc. (and most people take advantage of that). So in practice, plastic > wood. That’s why every commercial kitchen uses it.

[@farkasambrus5741]

@BrockMcGoff Commercial kitchens use them because they're cheap and light, so much easier to move them around and replace them regularly. Wooden boards self heal if the board is maintained properly, the the wood fibres swell and close the small cuts. On the other hand plastic boards wear out overtime and the grooves get deeper and harder to clean. For home use wooden cutting boards are a much better choice in my opinion, but I also respect if you prefer the plastic ones, and see where you're coming from.

[@0xRedOrange]

Maybe there’s a risk of microplastics going to the food while using plastics cutting boards? Hmm.

[@BrockMcGoff]

Good call!

[@rehtea4]

Wasps are actually important for the environment just like bees and the call of the mockingbird might be annoying, but it doesn't mean you should harm it. I'm glad you went with the earplugs.

[@BrockMcGoff]

We have a very pollinator friendly yard and let most things live, but I draw the line at my kids getting stung by wasps. I’d never hurt a bird!

[@rehtea4]

@BrockMcGoff I appreciate that, your kids have to be safe, I just think that there are friendlier ways to get rid of them. I have to put them back outside too when they come in the house, but I use a cup and piece of paper.

[@BrockMcGoff]

@@rehtea4 makes sense! Part of the problem is we have a very old neighbor whose yard is overgrown, and there are tons of wasp nests that are never removed. So those wasps make their way into our yard when they kids are outside, probably sensing the water (kiddie pool, squirt guns, etc.). If it was a reasonable number, I wouldn't mess with them. But when I have like 10-20 swarming around a 1 and 3 year old, it can be stressful (and we've all gotten stung).

[@rehtea4]

@BrockMcGoff Ah, okay! I get you. That does sound stressful!

Cutting boards with micro plastics should be reconsidered. If anyone cares about lower PFAs. Watch the episode on the Andrew Huberman on it. Stick with wood just clean it better.

Cutting boards are the only thing which isnt worth it - microplastics send greetings

[@BrockMcGoff]

It's been debunked that cutting boards shed any meaningful amount of plastic. I try not to use plastic in the microwave if possible, but otherwise not too paranoid about microplastics (there's a good episode of Science Vs. about this btw).

[@googlegoogle887]

@@BrockMcGoff There is this peer reviewed study from 2023 I could find reliable, which states these things are a significant source of microplastics "Cutting Boards: An Overlooked Source of Microplastics in Human Food?"

Kudos for finding primary sources, but I've that study and it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. If a cutting board lost 50g of plastic each year, it wouldn't last more than a few years. That's like a candy bar worth of plastic.
