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.

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

And watch us on YouTube, new episodes every Tuesday.
