The Wanger Showwww.patreon.com
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.

The Wanger Show #145 - We Don't Understand the Golden Globes Either

Cody is back! But Christian is not because he's sick as fuuuuuuuck. So Cody and Brian sit down to talk about their health issues, probably some things about movies or how their past weekend was and the recent controversy over the Golden Globe nominees. I'm not actually sure what the hell they talked about I'm just guessing based on the title options they sent me so I assume they talked about all those things. Enjoy!
