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.

Indeed it is, Bob. It's been a long time how you doing uh splendid thank you

and your own self um great great the reason this is really special is because it's the first show

we've done together in years bob right years we turned over hosting to Columbia University professor John McWhorter,

actual linguist, fantastic person, but he is lately spreading himself a little thin.

A little thin, like watercolors, like store brand margarine, like the Department of Education.
