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.

Andrew Ghai Joins the Show! | Wanger Show 347

Hello again! Welcome back to another edition of our show and NOBDY PANIC but we new first time guest on the program. Everyone better be on their BEST behavior and whoever's typing this better write a VERY GOOD description. Andrew Ghai joins the show tonight! He's popped up in a couple of our short films recently so naturally it was time to welcome him into the fold of this silly little podcast. We'll probably talk about Super Bowl stuff, we'll probably talk about some movie stuff, and perhaps we...

More Jurassic World, More Last of Us, & More of Us Sucking at Death Stranding! | Wanger Show 346

Hello there, person reading this! Hope you're doing alright. I know you might not be. Who is alright these days? And is it "alright" or "all right"? I could easily google this, but I think I just like how "alright" looks more. Anyway, welcome to the show! We don't have a guest tonight. But you're here! That's cool! So welcome! Wanna talk about anything? See any good movies lately? This rain has been pretty wild, huh? Speaking of wild, this show won't be that, but we will have fun! We'll talk som...

Alex Marzoña Returns with His SCORCHING HOT TAKES! | Wanger Show 345

Hey there. Hope you're well. TONIGHT, controversial guest Alex Marzoña RETURNS and this guy is known to ruffle some feathers. He's been known to poke some bears. You know when people say their shit don't stink? Well Alex's shit doesn't stink. I don't really know if that last one works but it's too late. I've already typed it. Obviously this is all ridiculous because Alex is America's sweetheart. He'd never ruffle anyone's feathers. If he came across a bear, I guarantee he would try to run away. ...

Getting SERIOUS with Ken Napzok! | Wanger Show 344

Okay we're back! For real this time! Sorry! Last week we were still recovering from an insanely exhausting short film shoot but this week we did absolutely nothing worthwhile so we have all the energy in the world. TONIGHT, our pal Ken Napzok joins the show again. In the past, Ken has DERAILED the show with "important conversations" and "intelligent analysis" but we'll see if we can keep him in check tonight. Also the Bucs lost so let's all laugh at Cody.

HO HO HOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLYYYY CAPS LOCK, WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW! TONIGHT, let's get this out of the way.

Shohei Ohtani Signs with the Dodgers, Depressed Angels Fan Releases Statement | Wanger Show 341

Sigh...today is Monday. It's been two days since "the signing." Two days since Shohei Ohtani signed a 10 year $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, a move that was celebrated by pretty much the entire country...well except for Angels fans, and one of them happens to be a co-host of this show. It's been a long weekend for our little Cody. He's received texts, in-person ha ha's, and he was even tagged Twitter/X by people who don't even follow him. As we catch up with Cody during this...

Eric Striffler is Here & SO IS GODZILLA!! | Wanger Show 340

Today is Monday and....okay, here's the deal. Remember last week when we announced the guests and we prefaced it by saying "THINGS COULD CHANGE, DON'T HOLD US TO IT" or something like that? Well, things changed. We were going to be joined by Eric Striffler AND Jake Baldino but Jake unfortunately couldn't make it tonight (he had a very legit reason so everybody be nice) so we have ourselves another Eric special on our hands. I don't know what an "Eric Special" entails and to be honest, I'm afraid...

We Don't Know Who Matt Rife Is, Christian's Finally Playing RDR2, & FILONI BABYYYY | Wanger Show 339

Today is Monday but you might be reading this on a Tuesday. You might even be doing it on a Wednesday but I'm pretty sure you're not reading it on a Thursday. If you're reading this on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday then what are you even DOING? TONIGHT, Thanksgiving food is still overrated, Dave Filoni got promoted, Napoleon's making Ridley Scott cranky, Matt Rife made bad jokes, some guy went streaking on It's a Small World, Cody hurt his back at Home Depot, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, Christian fina...

Your friendly neighborhood Wangers are back here on another Monday! Tonight, Cody is back and we can finally catch up on Spider-Man 2, blink-182, and other topics that end in the number 2. We'll probably spend a good chunk on Spidey talk with spoilers and whatnot. Christian bravely held down the fort last week and this time around he is ready to take a nap. Speaking of naps. Daylight saving. We're still doing this? I remember when I was younger and I was stoked for that extra hour of sleep. I ha...

TAYLOR SWIFT.......is Not on the Show Tonight | Wanger Show 335

Howdy! Welcome back to another installment of our silly little program. Tonight, we don't have a guest. Sorry about that. We had a good run there, didn't we? But fear not! We still have some fun shenanigans in store. Taylor Swift took over the box office. Christian went to New York. Cody went to Albertson's. Movies and TV shows were indeed seen. And so much more. I know you're not supposed to start a sentence with the word "and." I'm sorry about that and I vow to do better next week.

Brett Sheridan Returns to the Show! | Wanger Show 332

Hello! It's a Monday. Another Monday. The day you can't avoid. There is no escape. But at least you have our dumb program to get you by. Tonight, Brett Sheridan returns! It's been a minute since we've talked to him and he's always a joy to be around so this'll be fun. We'll also probably talk about the WGA strike possibly ending, blink-182 coming back with a couple of bops, the CONTROVERSY Cody caused at Christian's engagement party this weekend, and so much more. Maybe not that much more. But a...

Dorina Returns to the Show! | Wanger Show 331

Hello there! It's been 84 years.....well...4 years...ish. Look, it's been awhile but Dorina is back on the show! It'll be fun catching up with our friend and show favorite again after all this time. We'll also discuss other topics, we may possibly have a new recurring segment ready to go, and Cody may vent about losing 3 starters to injury this week in the Wangers fantasy league, which caused him to fall to 0-2. Is this league rigged? You decide.

Hello! We're back! You'd think if we were gonna take a week off, then Labor Day would make sense, but that requires foresight, and we don't have that. So we took last week off. But we're here now! Welcome back to another episode of the program. TONIGHT! Alex is back to talk Alex things. Starfield is out and it's taking over Christian's life.

Hi. Hello. Hey there. What's up. Welcome back to the show. Grace is back! I mean, we are too but we're not as cool. Join us as we talk about all sorts of silly things. What kinds of silly things? I don't know. We should probably start planning ahead. We should also probably get a producer. I should also get a coffee. The other day I was at a coffee shop and I was overwhelmed by the complex menu and I asked if it was possible just to do "like a vanilla latte or vanilla coffee" or something and le...

Barbenheimer Takes Over the World, SDCC Recap & Twitter Goes to the XTREEEEEME | Wanger Show 325

Howdy y'all? Welcome back to another episode of our show. After the chaos of last week's program, we should probably temper expectations. We don't have five people here today. But we're still gonna laugh at things! Christian went to Comic-Con, Barbie and Oppenheimer saved movies, Elon changed the name of Twitter to X or something, and the Angels are only four games out of the third wild card spot but Buster Olney and the rest of the LIBERAL MEDIA just want Ohtani to be traded to the Yankees....

It's TIMEEEEEEE to type another YouTube description! Welcome back to the show. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny finally released and it didn't make that much cash. Ukulele apologies are a thing now. The Grimace Shake has devolved into horror. Elon Musk broke twitter again. Cody may or may not be back in-studio tonight. I say that because Cody is typing this description at 10:16am and he's not fully certain if he'll be good to go yet. You see, when you have kids, it's all about the nap sched...

Good evening. Or morning. Or afternoon. I don't know what time you're watching this. I don't know your schedule. But thanks for making us part of your schedule! On tonight's (or today's or this morning's) program: The Titanic sub saga was CHAOS. The Bear season 2 dropped. Indiana Jones comes out this weekend and the discourse is already annoying.

We're still here! Sorry! We have another show lined up for you tonight. Across the Spider-Verse is still crushing it at the box office. The ol' B.O. as we call it. Do we have anything else to add regarding that movie? Probably not much. It's still awesome. It's also still trending high so we added it in here for that SEO, babbbyyyyyyy. Gotta get those extra 10 views. Some video game news was also happening this weekend. Starfield looks pretty insane. Speaking of space, apparently ALIENS showed u...

We're back! Again! We've got another episode of the program here and tonight it's another Christian and Cody special. Across the Spider-Verse came out and everyone's raving about it and Christian's already annoyed. I don't actually know if he is, but I think I know my friend. This is the point where he'll jump in and be like, "YOU DONT KNOW SHIT" and then he'll say he really liked the movie or he didn't even see it. Actually, lemme just check his letterboxd real quick.....yeah he didn't see it. ...
