Now, while you're getting ready to hear a little something for my radio show, I wanted to give

you something pretty special I've been working on for a while now. As you're about to hear,

I've been thinking about doing this podcast for years. It's called Stuff of Legends,

and there's loads of incredible guests like Ricky Jervais, Celeste Barber and Hamish Blake.

So here's a special bonus just for you.

It's the debut episode featuring Russell Brand.

And if you like what you hear, add it to your playlist for free.

Just search for Stuff of Legends Now in your podcast app.

I hope you enjoy it.

Which got me wondering, what if some of the world's funniest and most interesting people brought in three treasured objects that mean the most to them?

And share the stories behind them.

Stories you've never heard before.

When you said the idea, I thought, that's a really good idea.

Have you done many of them yet?

You're the first. Oh, right. I'm the idea. I thought, that's a really good idea. Have you done many of them yet? You're the first.

What a beautiful guinea pig, though.

Long-haired, sexy as the day.
