Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Back in 2021, I released a new podcast called The Stuff of Legends, and it's a very simple idea. I chat to people, and this is a storytelling show.

You know, we share our stories to get your stories. And so I wanted to do something where it wasn't just another guy interviewing comedians and famous people. I wanted it to be where we were going to get stories. And so I wanted to do something where it wasn't just another guy interviewing comedians and famous people. Wanted it to be where we were going to get stories out of these

comedians and interesting people. And so Stuff of Legends is a very simple idea. Each guest

just tells me about the three objects, the three things in their life that really means something
