“He was never sober,” revealed the formerThe Talkhost, 71, before adding of her 75-year-old husband, “He’s never seen it, doesn’t want to see it, and he never watched one episode.”

“Imagine having to relive every conversation you’ve ever had throughout a 24-hour period or six month period, and then all of a sudden people are judging everything you’ve said,” Kelly, 39, said. “You’re just like, ‘Wait I just thought I was having a normal conversation, now this person hates me.’ It’s crazy. It just made me so insecure.”

The Black Sabbath rocker acknowledged the originalOsbournesseries was the “best diary” for the future, though he noted that filming made him “a bit crazy at times.”

“It’s so intrusive in your house,” Ozzy said. “At the time, I said I wanted a safe room where I could go and pick my nose and squeeze a zit if I want to without being on camera, and they had a f—ing camera in there. When you’ve got hidden cameras, you start to freak out.”

The “Crazy Train” musician recalled the show getting more “unreal” as its seasons went on, to which Jack, 36, said that’s “why I don’t think we’ll ever do another season."

“It won’t happen again. Never in a million years," Ozzy concluded, to which Jack agreed: “To be honest with you, I don’t think it should."

The family has also spoken aboutOzzy’s marijuana usage. During an episode last year, Sharon recalled a time when she pooped in his stash during a vacation to discourage him from smoking — which angered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member.

In another episode from last year, Ozzy saidmarijuana “should be legalized everywhere.”

“I will say this, it definitely is a gateway drug,” he claimed. “But I’d rather have people smoke marijuana than smoke tobacco. Tobacco, without any second thought, is the most addictive thing I ever put in my body.”
