[@isaacphillips2002]

Same the pod is goated

[@lukekline9513]

​@isaacphillips2002 the pod is so goated because he took it so seriously. Which is probably why it isn't done anymore. Most creators take a podcast as an easy excuse to sit down and drone for an hour, to farm easy content and views. Adam essentially wrote a radio hour each time. He put that journalism experience to use

[@l.u.c.a.s.]

The podcast was some of my favourite content on KZbin. So much distilled knowledge and perspective.

[@TumblinWeeds]

I loved the podcast. It had high production quality and always contained very thoughtful topics. I watched it in my late teen years and in hindsight, I’m realizing it shaped a significant cornerstone of my personal philosophy.

"Retired" Adam Ragusea content is peak Adam Ragusea content, you just keep making bangers with these videos and I absolutely love the style of your energy lately.

[@Danntzig]

I worked in the butcher section of a grocery store and used to point at my own body when customers weren't sure of the cut they were buying. If that makes you uneasy, maybe you should reconsider eating meat. You are eating a mammal that shares many characteristics with you.

[@OmniversalInsect]

I want to stop eating meat but it's just too ingrained in my life.

[@gagenater]

It doesn't bother me at all, but it is pretty funny.

[@lonestarr1490]

I did something similar once. I got my hands on a very special piece of venison. In German we call it the "Nuss". I'm not sure what it's called in English; the direct translation would be the "nut" (does this make any sense?). Anyway, my girlfriend at the time asked me what exactly it is, so I grabbed her leg and pointed out her musculus rectus femoris. She did not appreciate the association, though.

[@rogink]

@@lonestarr1490 In colloquial English your 'nuts' are definitely something your girlfriend shouldn't have :)

[@lonestarr1490]

​@@rogink lol. Yeah, I should have anticipated that :D We actually call them that in German as well, but always in plural form (because most of us didn't suffer a fateful incident in WWI). The "Nuss" on the other hand is always singular, despite every mammal having two of them. But you certainly wouldn't order "zwei Nüsse" from your local butcher, but "zwei Stück Nuss" instead, as grammatically nonsensical as it is.

[@asad-nd5tf]

Quick note - 12:57 That quad muscle in the middle is not the vastus intermedius. That is the rectus femoris, the vastus intermedius is deep to the muscle (meaning under the rectus femoris).

[@xtrem641]

Nice catch, also I'm pretty sure he's mistaken in saying Psoas major attaches to the pelvis, shouldn't it be the femur?

[@micahpolizzi7007]

I feel like this should be side content the killer in a horror movie should be watching

[@bcubed72]

That would be an epic reveal: the cannibal killer is a total nerd, and lectures his victims on the merits of their respective musculature before dispatching them! Sheldon Cooper broke VERY bad...

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

2:26 body building being “superficial” makes sense since all the strongest man competitors and winners don’t look like body builders

[@rogink]

My first thought was - surely this guy is CGI.

[@viktorparvanov8863]

strong men train specific movements and therefore specific muscle groups, although in the strongman world it is very impressive and admirable to see someone like Eddie Haw, who not only is a beast of man who trained specific exercises to develop huge frontal deltoids for example but also had massive side delts, which in pushing exercises such as overhead press do next to nothing

[@rivenwyrm]

@@rogink Nope, they just do buckets of drugs every week and have incredible genetics on the side

[@viktorparvanov8863]

@rivenwyrm they do grams of steroids which boost front delts and traps extremely because of the androgenous receptors there, but some people do put alot of effort into their training and aesthetics, although steroids use without training surpasses muscle growth of normal resistance training, to get to that level you need to exude an extreme amount of effort

[@viktorparvanov8863]

@@rivenwyrm mb thought you were answering to my comment, my bas

[@tatehilliard2141]

Both a hilarious and informative vid. It’s cool learning about why certain animal muscles are tender or tough based on how the animal uses them. I always knew ab the chicken breast being tender basically because chickens barely fly, so brisket being the beef breast with cows constantly supporting themselves with it, making it a tough cut is so interesting. Looking forward to more unhinged semi-retired ragusea videos like this.

[@Happyholly-jj8pi]

Dear Adam, I love your channel. I’m a nerd so I love your food Science. I like to eat and cook, but when I tried to cook all I do is spend a whole day in the kitchen, make a mess, the food is awful, I buy a bunch of ingredients that I’ll never use again, and my husband gets mad at me for messing up the kitchen. Your channel is about the only one where I’ve had results with the recipes and the tips i.e. how to cook a hamburger on the stove in your small living space without turning on the smoke alarm, and your wonderful Jewish chicken soup which I made with parsnips which tasted so so good. I also like the way that you show how much you love your wife and family. You’re smart and practical, you don’t use bad language and I like your recipes. Your video on cooking with jewelry when you talked about wedding rings made me want to cry. You deserve success and a happy life and lots of subscribers. Holly.

[@danielchan7135]

Love this. I’m reminded how Julia Child casually identified cuts of meat on the human form. Not consistently; it was all fun trivia while discussing a recipe. I feel this is a good method to understand a cut’s where-and-why, so I’m all for this episode, as well as continuing this practice to identify cuts of meat.

[@Loroh66]

Sprinkling Baking Soda on tough, cheap cuts (1/4 tsp-1/2tsp depending on amount of meat) tenderizes the meat in less than 15 minutes, can be combined with other seasonings and is a great way to cost effectively get in protein that is enjoyable AND cheap.
