Conservation biologist here that supports your egg and chicken talk. I physically cannot restrain myself from yapping about it when it comes up so you made me very happy.

[@drew-km6pu]

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

18:48 gotta throw out some dissent on *"ORGANIC is bullshit and a waste of your money."* *like with most things, IT DEPENDS.* for anyone immune-compromised, or chemical sensitivity, stuff like that where you have a high load on your system already, the added chemicals and sh*t from certain foods, produce, etc can really be detrimental. for most people, you're probably fine and the body can filter it out, you won't feel a thing. even if it does have an impact, it's relatively small for you. for these other folks, no. doesn't work like that. (you can liken it to for instance mental health challenges where going without sleep or messing your sleep schedule up won't destroy most people, but it could trigger a cascade for someone with mental health stuff going on, like triggering a mania either as an up or downswing in someone with bipolar. alcohol is another example. fine for most, not for everyone.) in people scraping the bottom of the barrel with what their system can handle, extra chemicals, preservatives and other stuff can cause the following - mood swings - depression - poor sleep - itchiness - headaches - GI issues - etc during a really horrible health crash, this was me. *organic was necessary.* even today i do what i can, but i have more leeway to not do EVERYTHING organic. with some foods though, you can taste the difference. fkking shocked the hell out of me when i tasted a honeycrisp apple a fam member bought, was like WTFFFF and turns out it wasn't organic. ah. ever heard of how cutting salt or sugar really makes you notice it if you get any? same with some of the pesticides. if you've been off it a while, you really notice it. to this day, certain preservatives and certain non-organic foods mess me up. *used to think i had a gluten intolerance* because i started reacting so hard to bread. tldr; turns out it was glysophate (aka roundup). because non-wheat products were fkking me up too. ORGANIC was the key. TLDR; if you are someone who doesn't get affected, be grateful. BUT, it is real, organic does mean something. and you have to also get certified and pass strict requirements to get the certification. (only thing that's BS is that sometimes a company is missing on an item because of something out of their control, so they don't have the designation BUT, may have lower levels of pesticides and chemical compounds than an 'organic' company. IT CAN BE HIT OR MISS. but overall, a better shot with organic.) *avoid the dirty dozen* to save $$$ as those are the most highly treated crops and that would reduce your total load. AGAIN, A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN GET BY WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THIS. but if you are ill, reacting to things, symptoms, doctors have no clue.... try organic. also look into food intolerances. that can fkk you up, too. alas, almonds and severe headaches for me.

The answer to the chicken or the chicken egg is more of a definition problem. How do you define a chicken egg? Is it an egg laid by a chicken or one that a chicken hatches from? The eggs that we get at the grocery store will never hatch a chicken but they are still chicken eggs therefore based on this definition the chicken came first.

[@TheHaiku2]

Grats on finally getting Versagrip on board.

[@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.

It’s not a useful term at all. Because it doesn’t mean non-GMO. Considering that there are only 10 GMO crops. And people put non-GMO organic on a lot of things. Like coconuts.

[@flyingchic3n]

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)

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.

I was having a lot of carpal tunnel pain and numbness in my wrists and forearms and I feel like Versa Grips really helped me alleviate that!🙌 They really are a great addition to lifting. Congratulations you deserve that sponsorship!🙌💪

[@OKzombieCUPCAKE]

I think stretching is important after a workout, I was having rotator cuff issues for a number of years and I fixed the issues with different stretches. I am now back to lifting and no pain, creeks or pops in the shoulders! My shoulders use to be so bad, I couldn't lift my arms over my head, completely frozen! My doctor is completely shocked, I didn't get shoulder surgery and now no issues! Physical therapy is very important, surgery causes scar tissue! I know other people that got surgery and now they are worse off!

[@zuzannam3936]

i'm an ecologist, and yes, the way he explained it is actually right. in that sense it would be the egg.

[@caseykellyfit]

I made it in the versa grips ad, where's my cut Dr. Mike?

[@caseykellyfit]

lmao kidding

[@sterlingdepaul9270]

As an ex pitcher external rotation definitely helps me not hurt my shoulders in the gym.

[@Jeunex]

5:12 😂😂😂🤣🤣 No Diddy but man that shit caught me off guard.. hilariously true 🔥 I subscribed after that one lol

[@1xavi2]

Holy he shit he finally got the VersaGrip sponsorship!!!!

[@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.

[@pluveo8059]

Hi there, that pesticide bit is a super common misconception. Like in the US, the European Commission only bans the use of "artificial" pesticides on organic food. They are free to use all the toxins they want as long as they are derived directly from plants or animals. Actually pesticide-free farms will advertise themselves that way and typically use other techniques like crop pairing and integrated pest management to maximize yields.

[@MsTriangle]

I know a lot of people who work around these kinds of vegetables. They literally paste the "organic" label on random stuff. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[@alanjackson1015]

They absolutely use pesticides. And if you refuse to give an animal antibiotics when they are called fro you are a complete ahole and should be charged with animal cruelty. No dietary benefits at all, proven by many, many studies. No salmonella in organic eggs? That's a new one! Do you have a source for that factoid? Big Organic is almost complete BS

[@overlord6815]

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. What makes more since is that these proto-chickens evolved more and more until eventually one of them laid an egg that had the very first chicken inside. I know little to nothing about evolution or biology outside of what I learned in high school, this just made sense to me.

[@alexcooper6265]

Well sort of, but it's not like there is an obvious point where proto-chicken becomes chicken. There is just a gradual change until we arbitrarily decide at some point it became different enough to be a new species.

[@lt3880]

The example I use is mules dont need to be born from a mule parent. Also we know what the proto chicken was because it didnt evolve it was selectively bred within the last 10000 years for domestication from the red junglefowl

[@wayne8418]

yah, animals magically evolve as there is zero proof of this. God populated the world with adult chickens which then laid eggs. Pretty simple.

[@alexcooper6265]

@@wayne8418 "Pretty simple." Yes, you are.

[@erbgorre]

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.

[@kariko07]

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!

[@CalvinWeatherford-in6kv]

Jus stumbled across this guy's channel. This is the first video I watched. Freaking love the humor.

[@philosophyandhappiness2001]

5:28 "thats why i dont have any fucking clients" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sergiusthegreat3448]

От Души, доктор Майк

[@Amerikan_Jesus]

As a biological anthropologist, I am here to support Dr. Mike's chicken and egg claims. Waiting so long for someone to say it!!

[@kumquat3212]

Not sure if it's different terms in the US, but in Europe organic food is related to the farming practices. So not better for your body, but better for the environment. Unrelated to nutrition (as Mike says) but thought someone might find that interesting.

[@drumunism3781]

2:57 maybe he meant “Mitochondrial Efficiency”. Not a factor in looking good for a role, but a huge factor in how much weight you can push over time. You can train this by doing a little light cardio immediately after every heavy set, but presumably a superset could have a similar effect. Again, not necessary for a movie role.

[@the_journeymen]

I hope you have the biggest workout with the most Super Saiyan pump of all time today in honor of Toriyama. RIP to the realest one

[@ParvParashar]

Excellent video as always! 🙏

[@lilbuggzluv]

This was good until you started nit picking "processed" and "organic." "Technically" you can find flaws in the word choice, but you know what people mean when they say it. Simply, the least processed foods, and also, foods that aren't loaded with chemicals made in a lab, like food coloring, some sugars, some preservatives, etc. Other than that, I really like that you break down all of these workouts and health advice.

[@AudiSportDre]

Organic foods certainly aren’t meaningless. As an RD I can say they are very important. Some are more important to look at than others but this distinction certainly has its place in overall good nutrition

[@AhimSaah]

Organic is not nonsense, it means growing plants without the use of pesticides, herbicides, funghicides and artificial ferilizers that change the plant on a molecular level. We can discuss the benefits of that but there is no doubt as far as the concepts itself goes. Also, in practice, the organic plants usually taste better (not always) because they have to be grown in good conditions. You can't grow strawberries organically somewhere where the soil is too poor or in a place where you have a bunch of insects destroying the crop.

[@ChannelMath]

6:52: this trainer clearly takes his acting seriously, maybe he's looking for a part? Most non-actors sound really awkward when they have to repeat an obvious line they've said a million times for the camera, but he did a pretty good job, even pretended to look at a person

[@mysanalumina]

100% correct re chicken/egg conundrum, biochemistry/molecular biology student here.

[@godsavedmemorethenonce]

Lol iv never learned more from a work out video then this one . Even the egg comes first lol love it

[@CaptainSweatpants90]

You're 100% correct on the chicken and egg question, but I'll go one further: if the question instead refers to "the ancestral creature that lays eggs, or the egg itself", then it is indeed the chicken, because the very first ancestor to chicken would be a single cell organism that most certainly did not lay eggs yet. At the point the first proto-chicken started laying eggs (probably still a microbial little guy), it was probably not recognizable as a chicken yet though.

[@samantacastilho5656]

How did it take me so long to find these videos?! Thank you, Dr. Mike, for the incredible exercise science knowledge AND for the comedy! 😂 Love it! 🙌👏

[@bjogden]

Mike, you genuinely piss me off. What right do you have to be so educated , snarky, witty, and ripped af. If you cant smell the sarcasm exuding out my pours, I jest, I love your content and we need more folks with your mentality in academia. thank you as always brohammer!

[@derekjohnson6676]

omg you’re the first person I’ve heard articulate my opinion on the chicken vs egg debate 😂

[@ctusser]

So to become a sought-after Hollywood trainer just convolute and F’up perfectly good exercises and you’re golden. 👍🏻

[@justinchan2992]

Never really had a fav KZbinr but now I do amazing content really ❤

[@dougobrien3361]

My dad has a fully torn ACL. He still fully plays tennis to this day. He's 58. Apparently the other muscles can compensate if you exercise them, though you still have to be careful to not push things too hard and stop once your muscles start getting tired.

[@Kmfgriffith]

ive been saying this defintion of organic since 1st year college... thank you for perpetuating the wisdoms

[@jodyvanjefford2380]

Dr Mike is such a smart arse!!!...... and it's amazing! Really enjoy content

[@davidmichaluk]

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.

[@docauch5938]

As a big fan of the Strokes, I never expected Albert to be catching strays in a Dr Mike video 😂

[@TheLostOne3243]

Haha same XD

[@langolier9]

OK, you just want me over and I had a great workout today and I believe you are the real deal and I guess I’m gonna buy versa grips because 99% of KZbin is scamming I think you’re for real❤
