But it surely’s attention-grabbing that individuals need to hear a dialog, you realize?

They stated that they discovered “non-human biologics” or one thing like that.

Billy: That is proper.

Ozzy: He was advised they discovered them.

Billy: You see, there’s at all times that. The entire level of this present is, there’s at all times a deeper stage. And so we have been attempting to play these movies after which talk about the ins and outs. I imply it is not simply aliens, the entire season has all types of topics.

Ozzy: However the factor is, it is like that telescope in house. That was attention-grabbing as nicely, that may see the start of the universe. And in the event that they ever do discover it, that can throw faith out the window.

Except for aliens, medication and rock ‘n’ roll — I noticed you had that motto within the teaser — what different matters can followers count on to listen to you delve into on the podcast?

Billy: We have been speaking earlier than we logged on — we shot these a couple of weeks in the past, and we truly cannot keep in mind all of them. There’s over 20 episodes within the first season. We discuss our love of English chocolate sweet.

We discuss Black Sabbath, we discuss all bizarre animal issues. The web’s full of those loopy animals doing extraordinary stuff. It is actually simply something that we might usually discuss, however simply filmed.

Ozzy: It is me and Billy having a dialog.

Billy: It at all times began from, I might come round and Ozzy would go, “I’ve simply seen the weirdest factor,” or, “Have you ever seen so and so?” And that basically, I am not joking, somebody heard us doing that and went, “Nicely it is a good podcast.” And right here we’re, speaking about it.

Ozzy: Inform us the reality, what did you consider the primary one?

I assumed it was very entertaining. I like that it is actually candid and it simply looks like you guys are speaking about no matter. I feel any fan want to see one thing like that. As music followers, we prefer to see the candid and genuine aspect exterior of simply what you guys do onstage and in the studio.

Billy: Proper, I am glad that got here throughout, as a result of that basically is the essence of what we’re attempting to do right here is simply a few mates speaking about some stuff.

Are you able to recall, for many who aren’t conscious of your historical past, how your friendship happened?

There was a celebration, we have been each at that occasion, and we each went right into a room to attempt to get away from the insanity of the occasion. He was already in there, and we simply sat down and we talked.

You recognize what we talked about was the Intercourse Pistols, Cadbury chocolate. We simply bonded, and that was it. He is been driving me mad ever since, proper?

Your working relationship, is it any totally different once you guys are engaged on a chunk of music collectively vs. once you’re simply sitting round having a dialog and recording it for the podcast?

Ozzy: Oh, the music is totally totally different. Now we have disagreements, but it surely’s like, whoever’s acquired the most effective concept will get the place. Writing music, it is similar to doing a jigsaw puzzle. You place a chunk, would possibly want that one piece, you place it in. As songwriters, we instinctively assume we all know once we acquired a music.

Billy: I feel what’s vital to notice is that it is solely by probability that me and Ozzy have even written music collectively. Primarily, we simply hang around as mates, however because it occurs, we’re each musicians.

So should you’ve identified somebody for 30 years, there’s gonna be occasions in a lodge room or no matter the place you go, “Yeah, what do you consider this riff?” It is simply been a aspect arm of our friendship. We do not get collectively and go, “We’ll write music.” It simply occurs sometimes.

Completely, so is it secure to say that even should you weren’t musicians, you’d have a friendship and have a connection exterior of that?

Ozzy: Completely.

Billy: Yeah, I feel the music in all probability will get in the best way as a result of we each must go and work loads. We’d see one another much more if we weren’t musicians, that is for certain.

Are you able to every inform us your funniest reminiscence with one another?

Billy: Jesus, now watch out Ozzy.

Ozzy: I am unable to keep in mind.

Billy: Whereas he is pondering, I am going to offer you one in every of my funniest reminiscences of Ozzy. It is very laborious to know what to purchase the Prince of Darkness for his birthday or no matter. As a result of mainly, he is acquired a phrase, “If it ain’t bling, I do not need it.” However I assumed it will be an incredible concept to purchase him a Japanese samurai sword.

The birthday dinner was in a really high-profile Los Angeles restaurant, and I used to be a bit late. I got here down the steps, and the household are there, Sharon’s there, everybody’s there. And I give him — it is wrapped up — I give him this samurai sword. And he proceeds to open it, pulls the sword out and begin waiving it across the restaurant.

Sharon’s taking a look at me like, What the fuck have you ever accomplished? In order that was a humorous second. I do not know whether or not he can keep in mind any about me.

Ozzy: I am unable to.

Billy: That is as a result of I am not humorous.

I do not assume that is true!

Billy: I feel he is being an excellent mate and never throwing me beneath the bus.

Billy: I feel one of many foremost issues individuals have stated once they watch The Madhouse Chronicles is the overriding sense of how we’re collectively. And I feel that is a testomony to 30 years of friendship and, you realize, an actual friendship.

Ozzy: We do not argue.

Billy: We name one another names loads.
