1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning. So Elton John is

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: continuing his farewell tour of the universe and at the

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: moment he's in New Zealand in a place called Napier

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: and I think it's like a day on the green.

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: This is a winery area.

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: So it's a concert that goes for a number of

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: hours leading up to Elton coming out.

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: As it were happened years ago.

9
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: So they have a number of support acts for Sir Elton.

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: And that'd be a big deal to be a support

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: act for Elton.

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they had four of them warming up the

13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: crowd before Sir Elton was going to make his appearance.

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: One of those bands was a group near by called

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: Badger Badger. They lived just down the road and so

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: they were there warming up the crowd. So Badger's doing

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: their bit when apparently Sir Elton storms out of his

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: dressing room saying, and this is a quote, what's that racket?

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: There's floor?

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: The stage manage comment and said, Elton's not happy you've

21
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: woken him up.

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: He was having a nap, of course he was. He's

23
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: seventy two, Yeah, I have a nap. I'm fifty yeah. Yeah.

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: So he while everyone he's at is actually on location.

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: It's a weird idea, isn't it. Yeah, but still you

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: have a nap to have a nap.

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: Well, you know, as we saw in his concert. No

28
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: spoiler alerts if you haven't seen it, but at the

29
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: end comes out in a dressing game.

30
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: He goes off into space with a cup, throws it

31
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: on the fireplace. O rag off.

32
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: He came out in the dressing round without any joking

33
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: or irony. It looked like just a big dressing game.

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: He played so well he played, and how.

35
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: Exhausting it must be. So he has to have a

36
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: nap beforehand. So anyway, here's this poor band trying to

37
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: do their bit. Their band Badger. They've been sacked or

38
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: old Badger, so they were they We've had to readjust

39
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: the schedule for the day.

40
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: And unfortunately can't fit them in. They said for the

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: next concert. Oh what a shame. You want to hear

42
00:01:51,040 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: what Badger sounds like? Dudes?

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the band members said, I it was

44
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: probably the drums more than anything that was annoying him

45
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: while he was trying to sleep.

46
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: Just the drums.

47
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: You think, do you think it's interesting though? I mean

48
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: here's the guy. Imagine telling the young guy that had

49
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: written this and performed this crazily on stage all those

50
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: years ago, off his face and having the time of

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: his life, that he'd be coming out saying, what's that racket?

52
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: That racket?

53
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Elton John? We all become our dads, don't we joins

54
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: the and Amanda in the morning at one point seven,

55
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,400
