O'Connell show podcast. Some sad news, really sad news, but

(00:29):
actually a kind of sweet news as well. The great
Ossy Osbourne has passed away. But I'll say this about
Ozzy Osbourne. That guy was a mold breaker and he
went out on his own terms. He knew he was dying,
and he's had a really rough last couple of years
as well, but he still managed to put together a
farewell concert not that long ago, in the last two
weeks in his home city of Birmingham in the UK,

(00:51):
which is an incredible way to go out. Oh wouldn't
you love to go out like that? Yes, and have
an interviewed Ozzie as well. And you know a lot
of people talk today about him and Black Sabbath and
you know, basically handing out the blueprints and creating heavy
metal and then obviously many many years later, no one
saw that they were. Then the Osbourne's invent reality TV
just to love the Osborne That's such a good show.

(01:13):
There wasn't people don't realize because it's wall to all
reality TV. Now, there was a day when there was
the first time we ever saw a show like that,
and that was the Osborne's and Ozzy, who gave himself
the name the Prince of Darkness. Suddenly it came into
the light as a shuffling dad. Yes, that's what my
maraal joy of Ozzie is of a beloved dad who

(01:33):
just loves staying at home watching Kelly in his row,
trying to find the remote, yelling Shu. He could never
find the remote like any other schlebby dad. Wasn't this
the guy that d a bad Ons day? Yes, not once,
not twice, and I'd have a raby shot yet quite
quite a life from the Prince of Darkness, but a real,
real one off. An incredible guy, yeah, real legend. Was

(01:56):
lucky to interview Ozzie as well a couple of times
and showing and his son Jackie's got very big loving
family as well with Kelly jack and I think it's
about six or seven kids. It's a really big family.
Yeah yeah. And the other thing with Ads he is
very very very very funny guy. Oh my god, yeah,
really funny guy. I remember saying to you, what do
you do for hobby? Because on the Osborns this I think.

(02:18):
I'm's even like two thousand and three, two thousand and four,
when the Osborne's I think was like first or second season,
so we all knew now what he's like at home.
You know, it really is just shuffling around, shuffing. He
was just like, you couldn't help but love the guy, right,
britchs of Darkness then say this is his dad in
his robe and his slides. He goes, he goes, what
I love to do is I shoot drones. And obviously

(02:40):
now we know what drones are, right, but obviously living
in Beverly Hills, I didn't really know what he meant.
He goes, Oh, these TMZ and all these press reporters,
this is what I was like. Twenty years ago. They
fly these things called drones. Drones weren't the thing now
kids buy drones. They used to be more expensive and
it was Hollywood reporter. He said, they were just it
would just be sat in his garden, or they'll be

(03:01):
having lunch and something, this says, And there's people like
his in his backyard filming him. Right. He said he
had this baby gun, seven of the high powered ones,
and he said, some illegal ones Prince of darkness and
he would shoot them out the sky have the audacity
to sue him for damages. And he goes, I would
willingly cut them checks. He goes, I was shooting. It's

(03:24):
like sort of target practice down there. He goes, I
will take now and one or two a day. It's
the most fun. And then I was talking about is
incredible lad shit with Sharon, and he said that sometimes
he goes. Sharon does everything for me. She saved my life.
She's his manager. You know, she's such a powerhouse. She
goes sometimes before he does TV work, she will iron
his hair. Oh now, I just presume he meant as

(03:45):
a joke. And then I saw today, out of all
the tributes of her, there's a picture of Ozzie with
his head on an mining board. Sharon actually iron because
he had He's got he had. Sorry he gets used
to him not being a knife. He had very frizzy,
big hair. I thought it was a Joe. I saw
a photo right. I took a screenshot of it because
it says to me, that's what love is. Do you
love someone where you all iron their hair? I'm not.

(04:08):
It's the safest way to do it, obviously. I'm guessing
it was many decades ago before they were like GHD straighteners. Anyway,
later on this morning at seven, we're going to play
some Black Sabbath Christian O'Connell show go on podcast
