The Wanger Show

The Wanger Show

In 2016, Christian Ruvalcaba, Cody Hall, and Brian Perez started recording themselves talking and the rest was history. Their hour-ish long podcast, known as “The Wanger Show”, quickly became and continues to be the #1 podcast (according to us) on the Schmoes Know iTunes feed. Their popularity has skyrocketed but their egos have been kept in check. Well, except for Brian. That guy’s out of control. Together, the guys continued to collaborate on various short films and sketches while remaining the BEST of friends. Maybe not the best of friends. They’re friends. Well, they’re more acquaintances.

    Did Wicked Change US For Good?? | Wanger Show 425

    WE HAAAAVE BEEN maybe possibly perhaps CHAAAAAANGGGEEEEDDD....FOR...good. Howdy! Welcome back to the show. TONIGHT, Wicked came back down from their bubble, Doug. Cody bought a really expensive drink at AMC to watch it. Pluribus and The Creep Tapes are trucking along, but I think only one of us is fully caught up there.

    Hey! Welcome back to the show! TONIGHT, there's a new video game out. Cody plays like 3 of these every year so this is a big deal. Ghost of Yotei released and we're having a good time with it.

Taylor Swift also released a movie that confused us all. It's also episode 420 so we're going to be very high.

    Everything Sucks | Wanger Show 418

    Hey everybody! Look, things are weird. Everyone's pissed off. People are pretending to know how ratings for late night talk shows are measured. The rapture is happening tomorrow. Our President's hand is falling off. The Buccaneers are 3-0 and NO ONE seems to want to talk about that. I mentioned the freaking RAPTURE in this description and it didn't even get top billing. It's all weird right now, and we don't know what the hell to talk about. But we're here. So are you. Let's have a fun program tonight and try to laugh about things again.
