Hey, I'm Ryan Eggled from TV shows like New Amsterdam, The Blacklist, and of course, leave it to Beaver. You're on that? I was the Beaver. Didn't know. And I'm Adam Rose, an actor on TV, blue cardigan guy on your social medias, and Avid Speedwalker. We're the hosts of Small Stupid Stuff, an important new podcast from Studio 71. Ryan and I talk about the big issues, the heavy questions, pressing topics.

Like coffee date etiquette?

Best time to eat cereal.

And of course, whether you put your toilet paper over or under or around.

I don't know what around is.

I don't either, but I'm definitely an over man.

Yeah.

Every episode, we're joined by a celebrity guest who gives us their hottest takes on the stupidest,

smallest stuff.

Jocco Sims, Michelle Carrey, Alex Breckenridge, Pete Haversberger, Amber Childers.

Our goal is to solve the world's problems by finally figuring out the truth about crap that doesn't

matter.

So listen to Small Stupid Stuff on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And watch us on YouTube, new episodes every Tuesday.

Stop.

I'm still not completely well, but I can actually use my regular voice, which makes it much easier and much more fun to do this. And because I want to have a little fun today now that I have

been blessed again with the power of what an old Englishman would have called speech, speech,

I think I want to start with a song that I don't think Evie's going to like. This is Small Fry.

This is Hokie, Carmael, and Frank Lesser,

1938. A wonderful little song, and it's going to kick off our theme for today. But here is a

really nice little groove of a song that doesn't get enough attention. Small Fry.

Here comes that good for nothing brat of a boy.
