1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation some other information. I was reading

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: over the weekend. What do you know about Hello Kitty?

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 2: Um, the backpacks and stuff like that? Little little cat,

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: little Japanese inspired cat. Is that it?

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Well, that's what we thought. Apparently according to the makers,

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: Hello Kitty's not a cat. So there's a Hello Kitty

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: exhibit and the curator has confirmed what the makers have

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: always said is that Hello Kitty is actually a little girl,

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: not a cat. This is the quote. She's a little girl.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: She's a friend, but she's not a cat. She's never

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: two legged creature. She has a pet cat of her

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: own called Charmy Kitty. A lot of people have said,

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: give it a rest. She's got point of years like

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: a cat. She's got whiskers like a cat. Her name

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: is Kitty. She's a freakin cat. She's a cat, unless

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: a little girl identifying as a cat. I don't know,

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: but this is what I didn't know any of this

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: about her Low Kitty. I just once, like you, I

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: thought little Japanese. I just got the back of a backpack.

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: She's actually the character is British. She's a scorpio. She

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: has a lot in common with you. She's a perpetual

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: third grader.

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: It's a glad of come in with you.

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: She's got whiskys well played. So she first came about

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy four. She was created by a Japanese

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: company called Samrio, and that's because a whole lot of

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Japanese people around that time were moving to Britain, and

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: so they made this character British. So people are a stymied.

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: Is that the word shocked to hear? That's apparently a

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: low kid isn't a cat. I'm going to keep believing

32
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: she's a cat because it makes no sense that she's

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: not a catsuit like Babar the Elephant. Babar's an elephant.

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's dressed up in clothes.

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: He's an elephant.

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, But then there's other elephants in Babar world that

37
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: are elephants.

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Are there?

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's like Goofy. Goofy's a dog and Pluto.

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: Is a which is the one that's got the collar,

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: one's got a hat.

42
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Goofy. So Pluto chooses to be a dog

43
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: on all fours and walk around naked being a dog

44
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: goofy on the other hand, drives a car and has a.

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Job and wears a waistcoat.

46
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: What's that all about, oh, Stuart, little start little.

47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: Imagine if you were in that orphanage when people come

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: in they're looking to adopt a child, and you go,

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: this is my lucky day, and they say, not you,

50
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: We want the.

51
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: Mouse to go with the rodent.

52
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: Why would they choose a mouse?

53
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: But I reckon it'd be good to have a mouse.

54
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: Expensive because that you can't buy clothes off the rack.

55
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the kid he came along with his own

56
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: can those little shoes, vintage car and he dressed like

57
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: a middle aged man.

58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: No, they gave him those things and he didn't have

59
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: those in the orphanage? Was he a little rich? Punts

60
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: in the orphanage? And you can see why he's put

61
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: up for adoption because they have a lot of kids

62
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: as much they all get farmed out somewhere. It's a

63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: lot to think about. These are the things, these are

64
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: the things we think about.
