Dale acknowledges the community's support while humorously distancing himself from the generosity, emphasizing teamwork among the hosts.

The discussion delves into Ozzy's unconventional request to have pop artists like Justin Bieber and Susan Boyle perform at his funeral, juxtaposing their musical styles with Ozzy's legacy.

• Unknown Host: "Ozzy Osbourne has a really cool take on how he want his funeral to go down. He said his family could do whatever they want as long as it makes them happy. He said, 'I honestly don't care what they play at my funeral. They can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, whoever the hell Susan Boyle is.'" ([08:35])

Dale expresses his disbelief and humorously criticizes the song choices, while also acknowledging the sentimental value some may find in such a celebration.

• Dale Hellestrae: "A lot of people are going to be happy." ([09:35])

Shifting gears, the hosts critique Adam Sandler's recent movies, referencing a survey conducted by a group that polled 2,000 people about Sandler's comedic prowess. The results indicate a split opinion, with a significant portion not finding his work particularly funny.

• Unknown Host: "They pulled 2,000 people and asked him, how funny is Adam Sandler? 44% said he is somewhat funny. 27% said he's very funny. 13% not funny. 9% not funny at all." ([06:05])

Dale draws parallels between Sandler and legendary comedians, debating his place in modern comedy.

• Dale Hellestrae: "He's the new Jerry Lewis." ([06:05])

You thought that was funny?

[Unknown]

You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.

[Dale]

What the hell is wrong with you? Did you like Golden Eyrie?

[Unknown]

I like that song this guy says.

[Dale]

Are you kidding me? Skip Guy grew up under a rock. How do you not know who golden earrings? I'll give you the golden earring that you might have forgotten that.

[Unknown]

Well we shocked him just before we went on there on this Last break with what? Fair Fawcett.

[Dale]

Oh, yeah, yeah. The last thing. She died the same day Michael Jackson died, which is unfortunate because she didn't get any press.

[Unknown]

Really?

[Dale]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Now, see, I could. I'm concerned about Farrah Fawcett dying. Michael Jackson. Come on.

[Dale]

Oh, my God. Here we go.

[Unknown]

The poster, John. You had the poster.

[Dale]

I didn't. I was too young for the poster.

[John Holmberg]

That was before.

[Dale]

That was before.

[John Holmberg]

We were like the Heather Locklear, Heather Thomas post.

[Unknown]

Really?

[Dale]

We were the follow up post.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Dale]

No, the nipple was pretty good. It was huge, though, when she finally showed those in Playboy. They look like. Like a midget's finger was trying to poke out of her body. Way too big nipples.

[Unknown]

I don't. I didn't look at Playboy, so.

[Dale]

Of course you didn't remember. Yeah, they were.

[Unknown]

I read the article.

[Dale]

Yeah. For the. For the funny Fanny. Little Annie. Fanny was Brady's favorite cartoon as a kid. Idiots.

[Unknown]

Great cartoon.

[Dale]

Surrounded by idiots.

[John Holmberg]

I'm leaving.

[Dale]

I'm with you.

[John Holmberg]

We go.

[Dale]

I don't understand anything.

[Unknown]

You haven't done anything.

[John Holmberg]

What have you done?

[Unknown]

He collected water.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I've been doing charity work out there while you've been sitting here running your mouth about absolutely nothing.

[Dale]

He's not wrong.

[Unknown]

I don't know why you guys go to fancy lunches on Thursdays. I mean, they gave him a hundred bucks a pop, and then you guys go to State 44 for lunch. I don't know. That's helpful.

[Dale]

Are you. Are you making the claim that we are embezzling? Unbelievable saying. All right, lunch is on you today. Speaking of donations that will go directly to. This is another one, Brian Bradford. His crew came by from Fast Track Restoration, dropped off two truckloads of water. Again, we're going to hit a million easily. It is no question that we were going to hit our goal that we had till Labor Day to hit. We were going to smash it.

[John Holmberg]

They showed up way out there and had an entire truckload full of them. I can't take it all. We'll take it down there for you. I'm like, thank you.

[Dale]

Thank you, guys. That's so cool, man. See, there's still some decent people out there, folks. Dale is not representative of any of them.

[John Holmberg]

No, he's the one that takes the water on his way out.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Oh, I thought that's for.

[Dale]

Jesus Christ.

[Unknown]

I just take a couple. A couple fl.

[Dale]

You thought we stacked seven fresh pallets of water. How many guests do you think we have on a regular basis to fill a lobby with water? And go. These must be from me.

[Unknown]

Anyway, who's Danko Jones?

[Dale]

Oh, don't do this. Don't. You know what? He's. He's. She. He's a philosopher. Yeah. Don't worry about it, all right? It's too long to explain. It'll just be an idiot. Never mind. It's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. If you want to get on. I just turned and saw the first email I saw come up. Just popped up and says, dale is dumb. That's it. I took time out of his life. Yeah, Dale is dumb. Next. Anyway, if you want to be. If you want to look, you got to protect yourself against these marauding nut bags that walk around the street like. That's right. I'm talking about Dale. And you never know when you're going to accidentally run into this mountain. And what if he starts talking crazy? Ozzy was an idiot. This net. He starts swinging at the air and you don't have your pitchfork or your torch to fend him off. What would you do? You got to learn some self defense. Get in there and start being a smarter version of yourself. Smarter. In better shape. Faster. Just better. A sheepdog. Not a sheep. That's what they'll make you. Check it all out. Reactdefense.com it's the home of tactical black Brady entertainment.

[Unknown]

Happy Gilmore, two hits. Netflix tomorrow.

Yeah, so they are not excited about that.

[Dale]

Sandler.

[John Holmberg]

Keep proving it.

[Dale]

They pulled two movies are horrible.

[Unknown]

Oh, I. I say that.

[Dale]

Horrible.

[Unknown]

They pulled 2,000 people and asked him, how funny is Adam Sandler?

[Dale]

He's the new Jerry Lewis.

[Unknown]

44% said he is somewhat funny. 27% said he's very funny.

[Dale]

Wow.

[Unknown]

13% not funny. 9% not funny at all.

[John Holmberg]

He's a genius, though. These people keep going to these movies of his.

[Dale]

Just people. Netflix now he doesn't put him in theaters.

[John Holmberg]

Part two.

[Dale]

Netflix gave him hundreds of millions of.

[Unknown]

Dollars and he's a Jerry Jones of comedy.

[Dale]

It's Jerry Lewis.

[Unknown]

No, Jerry Jones.

[Dale]

Oh, I see what you're saying. He stumbled on him. No, Jerry Jones has skills. No, he's like Jerry Lewis. Like, remember how popular Jerry Lewis was? And you'd wash me. Like, who finds any of this funny? The French? No, the telethons were hilarious. When they had those kids with the sticks, I couldn't stop laughing. But I didn't think Jerry was funny.

[Unknown]

Speaking of $100 million, let's bring them.

[Dale]

Out, Dale, we've got a child here who's got little sticks for feet.

[Unknown]

Carnival. Growing up, Dale, did you do an MDA carnival?

[Dale]

Time for it. Let's throw it out to Dallas, Texas, and see what Troy and his big retarded friend are doing out there. Go ahead. I loved that when Jerry would do that. And then let's bring up a boy with sticks. $60 million every year.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Dale]

And all they did was buy more sticks. They didn't fix the thing.

[Unknown]

I was gonna say. They didn't fix anything.

[Dale]

Nope. All you heard around was click, click. There's Ozzy and Hulk Hogan holding hands in heaven. That's the new meme that's going, Dale's.

[Unknown]

Got a big story.

You say carnival. What's. No.

[Dale]

He was asking if you ever did an mda. Like when the teleton was going, kid.

[Unknown]

They had an MDA telethon you could throw carnivals to.

[Dale]

No.

[Unknown]

Yeah. As a kid, you'd throw them in your yard. You could do. Set up a carnival in your yard.

[Dale]

Why?

[Unknown]

Raise money.

[Dale]

Who could set up a carnival in their yard?

[Unknown]

Did you?

No, I never did.

[Dale]

You just said. You said you did.

[Unknown]

I. No. Across the street, the Ray boys. I go, dale, did you ever throw a carnival?

[Dale]

No. And I said, did you? And you said, yeah, you could throw one in your front yard. And I'm like, how do you throw a carnival in your front yard? I don't know.

[Unknown]

No, you set up games.

[Dale]

And I asked you, did you do that? And you said yes.

[John Holmberg]

I'm leaving. I can't handle this between Dale and Brady Story.

[Dale]

What is going on?

[Unknown]

I at least make sense.

[Dale]

Yeah. I'm going to give it. Yeah. You say stupid stuff, but at least it's like I can understand it. I have no idea what that was.

[Unknown]

All right.

My uncle think I could do it. Massive head trauma.

Whoa.

[Dale]

I think that's what we're working on. All right. I'm trying to find it.

[Unknown]

All right. So he gave me one again to set me up for failure. Ozzy Osborne gave his family permission to play Justin Bieber at his funeral.

[Dale]

Wait, who? Ozzy wants Justin Bieber?

[Unknown]

He just said Ozzy Osbourne has a really cool take on how he want his funeral to go down. He said his family could do whatever they want as long as it makes them happy. He said, quote, I honestly don't care what they play at my funeral. They can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, whoever the hell Susan Boyle is.

[Dale]

Oh, Susan Boyle, one of England's got talent. And she's an amazing singer. She's passed on, though. Oh, very ugly woman. Oh, wildly ugly, but a beautiful voice.

[Unknown]

How do you And. And we are diddy men. If that makes them happy. We are did him in as a nonsensical song by British comedian John Holmberg. But in other interviews, he said he likes, you know, be a celebration, John, Is your funeral be a celebration.

[Dale]

A lot of people are going to be happy.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Dale]

Yeah. It's going to. There's going to be a carnival in Brady's front yard, as I understand it. Or maybe not.

[Unknown]

I said that it would be fun to play a video of him asking his doctor for a second opinion and.

[Dale]

Others at your funeral. That is.

[Unknown]

Other news, Ozzy. Paramedics reportedly tried for two hours to save Ozzy's life. And a Birmingham bridge that pays tribute to Black Sabbath has become a memorial site. Two hours too long.

[Dale]

Too long.

[Unknown]

Yeah, it's way too long.

[John Holmberg]

Second one.

[Dale]

This one says, with all the dumb crap that comes out of Dale's mouth, now I know why he chose a career bending over in.

[Unknown]

People are being hurtful, Johnny.

[Dale]

They are.

[Unknown]

They are. I mean, I'm gonna have to go get counseling.

[Dale]

Dale's voice literally sounds like every time he opens his mouth after his Aussie take, his story sucks. I'd rather listen to Toledo wax poetic about a proper way to do a tax return. It's good stuff. Anyway, what are you gonna do? Thanks for coming by today and troll.

[John Holmberg]

Good luck.

[Dale]

Yeah, good luck getting out of here.

[Unknown]

How many other people are gonna be dead by the time I see you next Thursday?

[Dale]

Well, we'll find out. I don't know. Maybe my plane won't make it. I'm kind of rooting for that at this point.

[Unknown]

Jsx.

[Dale]

It's a long conversation. It's better. I got something better going on. I'll explain it after I got it. I can't say anything because I'll jinx it. I'll tell you next week. I'll tell you next week what happened on my road to Las Vegas.

[Unknown]

Are you driving?

[Dale]

No. Almost awfully darn close. Oh, that wouldn't have been a bad idea. I hadn't thought of that. All right, maybe I will. Drive. Cruise. America might be buying this. That's it. We're done. Dale, thank you for being here. Prestige Billiards thanks you for your time. They're not done with you. Billiards. AZ.com is where you go for that. Nowhere to go for you. Nowhere to go for you. Thanks to everybody who dropped off water today again. Getting closer and closer to a million bottles is insane. And we're losing 30 every Thursday when Dale walks out with his free case. So, I mean, we're probably there now if it wasn't for dipstick over here swiping our stuff. Larry's coming up next. You guys have yourselves a great weekend. Happy birthday, America and Johnny. No, no, just me. That's. I'm America's sweetheart, so it's my birthday. Presents accepted early and late, Dale.

[Unknown]

So don't forget the same as what you got me.

[Dale]

A delicious dinner at the Rah Rah Dinner. I got you the Rah Rah room a long time. No, I give you 100 bucks. You son of a. I used. I said, it's all crumpled up. It's not worth a hundred.

[Unknown]

It's not worth a hundred anymore.

[Dale]

We all bought our dinners and I threw it and said, happy birthday, dummy. And you go, thank God, Johnny. That means the world to me. For you to remember.

[Unknown]

Unbelievable.

[Dale]

Then you. I said, no, no, we don't put it in our mouths. Don't put in our mouths. And then we. All right, we're done. Happy birthday to me. And I will see you guys Monday. It's so long.
