"Brian's Song," the 1971 made-for-TV movie that tells the true story of football legend Gayle Sayers and his teammate Brian Piccolo, is considered one of the top "Guy Cry" films of all time. But just what is it about this story of football, friendship, life and death that touches the hearts of even the manliest men? The Chicago Bears made news in the 1960s when they had Sayers, a black man, and Piccolo, a white man, room together on road trips. Fifty years later, what can we learn from this film's depiction of racial tension in America at that time? What if you're not a guy or a football fan? Can you still enjoy this movie and get something out of it? We think so.

Why Your Bank Sucks has rescued $81,600 since April 1st from Bank of America and Wells Fargo. Unethical fees, extended holds and fraud claims are what we go after. Today's podcast was probably my proudest moment so far. I recovered $4000+ from Bank of America to help Brian from Chicago, a victim of fraud who was being screwed by BofA. Identity stolen, his name, ss number and account were used in another state to cash over $4000 in checks while he was hard at work in Chicago. Bank of America denied his claim, stating it was him making the transaction. Through the fortunate circumstance of Brian retrieving images of the checks from a banker, I was able to identify the fraud, spot oversights the teller and bankers made in the branch, and proved that he wasn't the perpetrator. After several days and peppering several execs, Brian got his money back, I made a friend for life, and I lose that much more trust in Bank of America. Learn in the podcast how the tellers didn't view ID, how claims dept didn't file a freaking claim (literally their only job) and how a company plays PREVENT Defense to keep you from getting your money. From impacting bonuses to victim blaming, BofA pulls no punches. Luckily James at Why Your Bank Sucks loves boxing and will KNOCK OUT THESE BANKS! Shout Out to Brian. Thanks for your trust!
