Teach Me Good

Art Cai, Fernando Ruiz, Toren deRosa
Comedian Art Cai (@fartcai) has been an uncultured swine for too long. So he and another comedian friend Fernando Ruiz (@oakcliffdaddy) and Toren deRosa (@torenderosa) set out to learn anything and everything they can-- by talking to the people. From hobbies to personal experiences and everything in between (e.g. ghost hunting, foreskin restoration, becoming a monk), they stuff their hungry gobs with all of it on TEACH ME GOOD (@teachmegoodpodcast).
