Four Guys on a Train

83 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 9 ratings

Four Guys on a Train isn’t curing diseases or teaching children to be kind to one another, thus making this world we live in a little bit better. Instead, every week, Pete, Rick, and Branden will regale you with a variety of complicated nonsense. Drama, comedy, maybe a little romance? Probably not. But the first two. Or the second one only. Improvisational humor never felt so adequate!
