Yes, but it’s like the difference between the chicken and the pig at breakfast.

This comparison flew over my head easily at about 20,000 feet, anyone else? Can someone give me clearance to land this bird, 20L please.

There’s several variations due to varying languages, dialects, and such but I always heard what he’s referring to phrased like this:

> ”The chicken is involved but the pig is committed.”

That is, while both are needed to make breakfast, the pig has a bigger stake in the project.

The chicken may be providing the eggs but the pig is being eaten!

Bringing the egg....versus being the bacon.

when used rhetorically it's usually with an explicit context of "bacon & eggs" or "ham & eggs"

Wait but what if I’m eating oyakodon with some crumbled bacon on top?

/kidding, I know this is an absurd stretch of the terms, appreciate all the explanations.

The chicken is interested but the pig is invested.
