Jefferson would have been hunt.

Osbourne: Probably, yeah. He would have been, there would have been statues of him in Washington D.C.

King: Jack Osbourne in ten years?

Osbourne: Battling teenage daughters. And then I don't know. Hopefully still contributing to the, you know, the flow of life.

King: Are you always going to be looking at new ideas to produce?

Osbourne: Yeah. I would eventually like to, I say I'd like to do something else, and I've been working in TV for fifteen years now and I started a a diaper bag company, making diaper bags for dads. So it's just a small little internet business me and a friend started.

King: You mean for dads to wear?

Osbourne: Yeah, because I go to the park and you see a bunch of dads walking around with floral pink bags,chasing their kids and I'm like 'Where's the bags for dads?' So we make diaper bags so it's kind of just a little adventure I'm getting into and I don't know. I don't know if I will be in TV forever.

King: Does the family remain close?

Osbourne: Yes. Most weekends we are together with my kids and Kelly and we usually go get lunch or something.

King: And when they were separated, you still were close, right?

Osbourne: Yeah. Like I said, their business is their business. I can't put myself into their relationship. So whatever's going on, that's the most intimate levels.

King: But you're glad they're back.

Osbourne: I am, of course. Maybe selfishly.
