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.

We Have No Idea What to Title This Episode But We’re Gonna Have Fun | Wanger Show 406

Hello there! Welcome back to our silly show. TONIGHT, our pal Alex is back in that third chair and we are ready to talk about MORE SERIOUS STUFF. I don't know if that's true actually. We are going to laugh though. We all saw a few motion pictures. Alex probably watched a rare 35MM print of some French movie that hasn't been screened since 1924. We watched our sports team lose. We have a game or two to play. It's gonna be a good program tonight, folks.
