Chicago is a city of two extremes; big business with a lot of money and poverty with no money at all. This episode is a story about how two men from different points on the "societal totem pole" realized more than ever, that we are all the same.

from 1997-2007 The Bad Boys on WGCI gave us the Birthday Line. This episode of SoCHiology we remix and pay homage to that legendary radio segment and take a trip down memory lane to discuss a few wild moments from past birthdays.

The irony is the day this episode was recorded both the Sox AND Cubs lost and the scores were identical: 5-2.

Nevertheless, both Chicago clubs are 1st place in their respective divisions and there are whispers yet again of a potential subway series in October, but we have a LONG way to go for that reality or are we CLOSER than we think?
