Smalls has long since left behind his days with the band formerly known as Spinal Tap after their painful to witness downfall.

The show, which debuted on Netflix in 2017, has developed a massive following. Characters Andrew, Nick, Jessi, Missy, Jay and company, are subjected to the wonders and horrors of puberty while the audience has a laugh at the cringe.
