Brian welcomes back his old cross-country buddy, Mike Rivera, to chat about the heartwarming Disney running film, McFarland, USA. While both Brian and Mike thought the cliches and PG rating would do the movie in, discussing the topical and true story of poor latino high schoolers sacrificing so much for their team and families, as well as the coach (played by Kevin Costner) who brought winning to a town where anyone who could leave, would leave, McFarland, USA ends up unexpectedly tugging at the boys' heartstrings. Also find out why "Hi, I'm Mike Rivera" became the second worst pickup line in summer camp.
