All the eggs before the first chicken were protochicken eggs therefore the chicken came first...

[@RHLW]

More interesting has gotta be... Is the egg an intermediate step that a chicken uses to make another chicken, or is the chicken the intermediate that an egg uses to make another egg?

[@SeleniumBalls]

How I've veiwed the problem is which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg. And how I view this is at some point, there was a first chicken that came from 2 almost chickens. Does the fertilization of the almost chickens create the first chicken egg, or does the first chicken have to lay the first chicken egg. Or rather, is the egg named from what lays it or what it hatches. I perfer to believe the first chicken was hatched from the first chicken egg, making the chicken egg come first

Glad to hear you say that about the rotation shoulder 'warm ups' I've always seen everyone doing them in the gym as well as on youtube and always wondered why as it seems to do nothing. Ive had / still have a dodgy right shoulder yet still found no benefit to doing them. Like you pointed out, I've always just warmed up using excercise specific warm up, ie for bench my warm up is just going through the movement over and over with just the bar

[@billm9775]

Same here, only reason to do that exercise is when you're injured. I did them after I broke my shoulder (and tore my rotator cuff) beginning of this year. Took 3 months to heal the shoulder and then another 2 to heal the rotator cuff, but once it was healed up never bothered again. I go jump on a rower and warm up, works the whole body quicker than a bunch of physical therapy moves.

[@mikeballew3207]

As a pedantic chemist, the term "organic" for foods used bother me for exactly the reason Dr. Mike states. Supposedly to qualify as organic, foods have to meet certain qualifications, and I have no clue how well that's regulated/enforced. However, if "organic" means that a food wasn't produced with (and possibly contaminated with) something like Monsanto's cancer-causing glyphosate, then to me, it's a meaningful distinction.

[@Suishiful]

Yes, but also, the organic certification grandfathered in older pesticides which were thought to be "more natural" than petroleum-based compounds. Copper sulfide fungicides are approved within the "organic" label and are very toxic to humans, fish, cattle, etc. Lots of people buy organic produce thinking those crops have never been treated with "chemicals", but it's not true.

[@johannesstephanusroos4969]

It's just such a vague term, organic...as opposed to mechanical food, or spiritual food or something? 😂

[@adeobrien4266]

As much as I don't want to contradict Dr Mike, the Organic food label has some serious meaning in the UK and Europe at least. It can only be used when food is grown/reared in certain ways usually meaning no pesticides for plants (which you might not want to eat) and no antibiotics, certain types of feed, no forced growth etc etc for animals. This has some dietary benefits if you can afford Organic foods, such as eggs that have almost no risk of salmonella in comparison to battery raised eggs (important if you eat them raw) and substantial animal welfare regulations.

In America "Organic foods" means that the food was produced under a stricter set of regulations. In some cases this means less fertilizers or pesticides, and usually means the food was produced with a reduced environmental impact. It's not meaningless, it just doesn't mean healthy like some people like to think.

[@bbroogs]

Exactly. It's not meaningless in terms of rules and regs, but it doesn't necessarily mean healthier.

[@maxschmidt9461]

Same with the EU BIO stamp. In the EU for example it means that animals, aside from organic feed, get more than double the space, in case of chickens year around free range in sheltered areas and have over double the time to grow(so don't grow so fast they're can't really walk towards the end). It does mean something, just look up what it means where you live. But for health it's not clear.

[@BigBADSTUFF69]

mostly about the source of the fertilizers and pesticides than the amounts, but I will say that organic fertilizers are better for issues like runoff for instance in the Mississippi River that travels through the midwest and into the gulf, transporting nutrient runoff that has created a dead zone due to eutrophication. Another concerning issue is grain farmers that spray roundup on their crop to finish it at the end of the season. But yes, in general it's not inherently healthier, especially today when there are a lot of large scale organic farmers that operate just like non organic, just with different chemicals that aren't derived from fossil fuels.

[@BigBADSTUFF69]

@@maxschmidt9461I don't believe that's a requirement in the US, it's did they eat orgainic feed and were not fed antibiotics. The antibiotics thing is actually meaninful because they used to just add antibiotics to chicken and pig feed because they would get fat faster. I believe even conventional farmers have largely moved away from that, but antibiotics due to an illness would disqualify from organic status so they mark the animal for separate sale (at least they are supposed to)

[@taylorhillard4868]

It doesnt mean less environmental impact either. Some chemical trwatments are highly selective. Many organic ones are highly broad spectrum. (Like surfactants, that can harm all insects equally, as well as fish or any vertibrate that eats too much of it)

[@PierceRandall-hf7vf]

Here's the argument against the phylogenetic argument that the egg came first: 1. Species-concepts are vague in phylogeny. When a population becomes reproductively isolated, you have species-branching. But the concept of becoming reproductively isolated is vague: How long does there have to be no shared reproduction between groups? How much reproductive isolation is needed before the two populations are distinct species? 2. Vagueness is metaphysical, not epistemological. It's in nature, not our minds. It's not that it's just hard to tell when exactly two species branch off. Rather, there's no fact of the matter, just like there's no exact pair of colors that mark the boundary between red and red-orange. All that you can say is that there are paradigms cases of red, paradigm cases of red-orange, and borderline cases where there are shades that fit uncomfortably between the two. 3. Therefore, there was no first chicken. All you can say is that there were paradigm cases of proto-chickens, paradigm cases of chickens, and borderline cases between them. 4. Since there was no first chicken, there was no first chicken egg. So the question is ill-formed. Neither answer makes sense.

I knew I was right about the "egg and the chicken" conversation, my belief was that evolution takes too long for a supposed "proto-chicken" to evolve into an actual chicken during it's lifetime.

I know little to nothing about evolution or biology outside of what I learned in high school, this just made sense to me.

for sexually reproducing organisms evolution generally happens when your DNA gets sort of mixed and matched during fertilization, so at the very start of an individuals existence, not during the span of their lifetimes. thats the old point on how the giraffe didnt get a longer neck by longingly staring up at the leaves on those tall trees, but by two proto-giraffes with unusually long necks mating and their offspring having an impactful advantage over their peers. evolution is always driven by the combination of mutation and selection pressure. mutation primarily happens during fertilization, and then selection pressure plays out over the course of an individuals lifespan. but mutation is what defines what you are, selection pressure just decides whether or not thats successful.

I cant wait!!! And i really do hope you score a gig to train a celebrity for a role Doc! Keep on the grind they will notoce eventually

The comment about external rotation is TRUE. I ONLY do it, because I had "snapping scapula syndrome" and needed months of physical therapy. So, I do it as part of my PT exercises, on recovery days. Anyway, congrats on the VersaGripp sponsorship!!!

I really like Dr. Mikes stuff. Organic food does have set standards from the USDA, doesn't mean the food is inherently better, but meets a higher standard of production.

LET'S GOOOOO! VERSA GRIPS!!!!!! Mike finally made it, we big timers now baby 😭

[@alex4king2023]

Been wathcing your videos for a while, and this is the first time I've been driven to comment - YES, the EGG! Thank you for talking about this. Also, keep up the great work.

I agree with pretty much everything you say dr Mike. But something I do is the rotator cuff warmup. Did them wrong for years but fixed that. And now I've given it some thought. The way I see it, when I've done the 75s and want to do the 90s, and I have a tense burning sensation, doing the rotator cuff exercise really loosens me up for my heaviest set. And ima keep doing it for my warmup because I'll stay accustomed to doing this exercise atleast 2/3 times a week and it'll remain effortless

Love my VersaGrips. Thinking about the knee sleeves too.

You won’t see this but on the off chance you do, love your sense of humour dude, it’s very dry, innuendo and dark.. very British.. I love it. Keep it up!

Zac at 12:00 was for the movie "The Iron Claw" which was about the Von Erich wrestling family. And it was six years later than Baywatch.

I was hoping you were going to talk about Efron's transformation he did for his recent movie role where he played a professional wrestler. That transformation is unreal. You showed a picture of him from that movie but only talked about his transformation for Baywatch, which came out many years ago. Maybe do a follow up video about his most recent transformation? In other news, I ordered my Versa Gripps today! Thanks for the discount code!
