Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
This one for today.
This is from サンジの母さん.
ケビンさん、ヤマちゃん、こんにちは。
早速ですが、2024年5月20日、ゴールドジムにいるマッチョは恐竜ですか?
Great episode, by the way.
ゴールドジムにいるマッチョは恐竜ですか?の放送で
ティーレックスについて話していたので、小学2年生の我が子から得た恐竜の情報をシェアします。
Okay.
She's got a 小学2年生 boy.
まず、ティーレックスの小さい手の役割について。
Oh, we were talking about those hands before.
Yeah, let's hear it.
You said that's too small for that body.
Right, they don't need it.
If they were to fully utilize their hands, it would have to be longer.
It would absolutely have to be longer.
They can't use, if they're that short, they can't be used for anything.
Yeah, that's true.
So cute.
That was our question.
まず、ティーレックスの小さい手の役割については、今でもよくわかっていません。
狩りの時には、大きな顎で噛みついて捕食していたようです。
また、子育ての時はワニのように口の中で世話をしていたのではないかという説もあります。
立ち上がる時に手でバランスをとっていた可能性があり、
鎖骨に骨折の跡が何度も見つかっているそうです。
明らかに手が弱すぎると私も思います。
ティーレックスの大きな頭で狩りがしづらいという意見もその通りのようです。
ですが、ティーレックスは夜でも視力が良く、
寒い夜にも活動できる体を持っていることから、
眠っている獲物を襲っていたのではないかと考えられています。
最強恐竜として名高いティーレックスの狩りの方法としては、
寝込みを襲うというのはちょっと不足な気がします。
短すぎる手の使い方については、
歯に挟まった肉を取るために爪楊枝のように使っていたという説もあります。

これは誰かの冗談かもしれませんが、
個人的にそのアイディアはとても可愛くて気に入っています。
子供から色々な知識を得られてありがたい毎日です。
ケビン・サン・ヤマちゃんは子供の頃はどんなものが好きでしたか?
よかったら教えてください。
非常に不均等です。
非常に不均等です。
奇妙です。
もしかしたら彼らは彼らを使っていませんでしたか?
そうですね。
彼らはもっともっと不必要になりました。
だから彼らはもっともっと小さくなりました。
だから...
私は...
私はそれが理由だと思います。
うん。
We humans, we humans have parts of the body that we never use too, right?
What do you mean?
For example, like...
耳たぶ?
We never use Mimitabu?
We don't need it.
嘘。
嘘。
為にこのものが隠れているのですか?
I don't need it.
I think we have a lot of those things.
Yeah,耳たぶね。
True.
Kidneys, right?
We only need one kidney, right?
Yeah, I mean...
Right?
Yeah.
What the fuck is there a second kidney if we only need one?
Yeah.
True.
Because maybe they're very important, that's why we need a spare.
Shouldn't we have two hearts then?
That's true.
Isn't heart more important, right?
Yeah, that's true.
We need two hearts.
We should have two hearts then.
Yeah, that's better.
One on the top and one on the bottom, right?
Because, you know, if something happens to the top half, we can just save ourselves with the other half, right?
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, because the cows, they have four stomachs, right?
The cows have four stomachs?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
That's a lot of stomach.
For what?
For digesting.
What do they eat?
What are they eating?
The grasses.
Grasses?
Yeah.
That's it?
That's it.
They need four stomachs for grasses.
Yeah.
I could probably digest a grass with my own stomach probably.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
It's true.
Well, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but if we had two hearts or even three or four hearts.
Yeah.
It'd be so much better than having two kidneys, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or like, why do we have two holes on our nose?
06:00
Nose.
We only need one.
Like one big hole like that?
Yeah.
That's all we need.
Why would you need two?
Yeah.
It's weird, but all animals have two holes.
If you think about it.
That's right.
There must be some sort of reason, like a logical reason.
Yeah.
Maybe if you have like one hole, then if something like, you can just breathe in.
Well, that's true.
That's why you have like two.
That's true.
That's true.
Then they should be like this.
Like two very different directions, right?
Yeah.
Should be very far apart.
That's true.
That's true.
Because like this.
It's too close.
Like this.
Yeah.
Way too close.
Yeah.
To have two clocked up.
Yeah, yeah.
That's true.
That's true.
Very not logical.
Right.
Yeah.
Or like if you have two mouses.
Yeah.
You can breathe like this.
Yeah.
That's true.
That's true.
And then one eye on the back of your head.
So much safer.
Yeah.
Right?
We bump into shit so many times because we didn't have eyes at the back of our head.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like kotsujiko.
Right.
Everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It would be so much better.
Now you can have like 360 image.
I know.
Visual.
I know.
I know.
True.
So much better.
True.
So much better.
Yeah.
That's true.
Many things though.
Many mystery.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That we don't need.
Like eye.
What do you call this?
Eye.
Eyebrow.
Eye.
Eye.
Eyebrow.
Yeah.
Eyebrows.
We don't need eyebrows.
We don't need it.
No.
We don't need them anymore.
Right?
Yeah.
We don't need hair.
Some people are bald.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah.
They're fine.
They're bald.
Yeah.
So a lot of shit we don't need.
Right?
Yeah.
Maybe like hundreds, I mean, many, many years ago, we had hairs.
Yeah.
Hairs all around our body so that we can protect the body temperature from maybe insects or something.
Ah, yeah.
But more and more, like they don't need them anymore and like getting less and less.
Yeah.
So maybe like in the future, everybody has nothing.
No hair.
No hair.
No hair on the skin.
It's so possible.
It's so possible.
But, you know, one thing that I thought was I've shaved my legs several times in my life.
I do that regularly.
Okay.
And so the day I shave, you get to feel the huge difference, right?
So the day before you had hair.
Yeah.
And then the day after, you're like hairless.
Yeah.
Right?
So when the wind hits your legs, it's not detectable when you don't have hair.
09:01
It's not detectable?
It is not detectable.
Are you sure?
I am sure.
Like when I, for example, like you got a senpuki or something where like if somebody blows
to your...
Uh-uh.
You will not notice the wind.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Like it is surprising how much we rely on hair senses to detect wind.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah.
So like a blow dryer, right?
Yeah.
I stick it directly to my shin.
Yeah.
You feel nothing?
I feel like I have a cloth right on top of me.
Wow.
Yeah.
It is a very strange feeling.
That's...
But you feel the heat, right?
Yeah, I feel heat.
But not the actual wind.
Like, yeah, it was all from the hair that was moving.
Yeah.
So when you cut it off, it is not detectable anymore.
Wow.
That's mystery.
Like I have never experienced that before.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
So it has function.
Yeah, it does have function.
It works.
Yes.
Yes.
Wow.
Yeah.
I feel like you will have a different sense of the world if you are hairless completely.
Yeah.
Maybe you feel the temperature differently.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Definitely maybe wind, definitely different.
Well, surprising.
That's...
Very surprising.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
