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.

    All the Frank Things with Frank | Wanger Show 395

    Hello there! We have another episode of the show in store and OHHHH CRAP we gotta start planning episode 400, don't we? That's a tomorrow problem though because TONIGHT, our old pal Frank Lucatuorto returns to the program! In case any of you are new (there are dozens of you, DOZENS!), Frank was an old staple of the show back in the 2018/2019 days. He also yelled at us during an Overcooked playthrough. It's been a few years since he's been on and we're stoked to catch up with him. Laughter will be had. Pokemon and blink-182 will be mentioned.

    Wangers: Born Again with Adam Hlaváč | Wanger Show 394

    Hello! Back at it again with another episode of the pod. TONIGHT, our buddy Adam Hlavac is back! We'll talk about a bunch of stuff with him. We like talking to that dude. Today's St. Patrick's Day. Cody found a green shirt but he was devastated this morning when he realized he couldn't find his old bright green shirt he got from the GR8T Times bowling league in 2014. You see, the league was called GR8T Times because it was an 8 week league. 8 weeks of endless fun is what they called it, even though capping the fun at 8 weeks implies the fun is not endless and indeed does end, in this case after 8 weeks. But I digress. That was a fun shirt and he doesn't know where it is. He's very sad about it. EDIT: I'M COMING BACK A COUPLE HOURS LATER AND GREAT NEWS! THE GR8 TIMES SHIRT HAS BEEN FOUND! THE FUN IS INDEED ENDLESS!

    This Podcast Was Also Traded to the Los Angeles Lakers w/ Alex Marzoña | Wanger Show 390

    Hey there! Welcome back to our silly program. TONIGHT, our pal Alex returns to join us for some laughter, our podcast was included in the Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis trade but the media doesn't wanna talk about that, and Cody actually went out for once and went to Brian's birthday party and it probably got him sick. He had three hours of material planned for this Lakers trade!
