1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation. I don't know about this story

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: about Elton John.

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: What do you mean you don't know about it?

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: I just you know I like Elton John.

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: You like to keep this private. It was reported on

6
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: TMZ this morning. Elton John is world famous, but as

7
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 2: I say here, even Elton John can't stop nature calling.

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: So a shop owner in France he was shopping with

9
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: his kids, sons thirteen and eleven, in a sneaker shop

10
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: a shoe shopping expedition, and the shop owner says that

11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: the singer, well, I'll get to that bit in a minute.

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: He asked if there was a public restroom he could use,

13
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: he was in there also with his bodyguards. He was

14
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 2: told there wasn't one available. So this person, Elton John,

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: apparently grabbed a plastic bottle from his security guard and

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: proceeded to relieve himself just a few steps away where

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: they were standing. So this must happen more than once,

18
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: or why would he have an empty bottle?

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: Seventy seven?

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: The seventy seven year old allegedly left several drops of

21
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: urine on the shop floor and then asked for a

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: towel to clean it up. Okay, so the shop owner said,

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: the incident left him shaken and frustrated. He didn't know

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: who the singer was. You think Elton's outfit might have

25
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: given it away. But he asked what the older man

26
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: did for a career, and Elton John said simply, I'm

27
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: Elton John, I'm Batman. He should have said I'm Bernie Taupen.

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: Why would you admit to it? He was creating his

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: own yellow brick road. And then when the owner asked

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: him for an apology, he said, sorry seems to be

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: the hardest word.

32
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Oh thank god, it wasn't the brown dirt, but it was.

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: He still standing, and.

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: Oh, here we go.

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: That just worked. We didn't have a plan. That just happened.
