The Bears drafted a Black QB? The Bulls missed the playoffs but the future looks bright, will they sign Lonzo Ball? The White Sox are in 1st place and primed to win the World Series?

Chicago sports seem to finally be turning the tide. Hopefully. Prayerfully.

Two GOATs walk onto the court, but it's the same person.

MJ's playing style in the 80s was a big contrast to his style in the 90s. This episode we explore what are the strengths of both and ultimately which "player" was better.

History is the foundation for all things in the present. In all areas of life. We know Chicago street violence is a problem. That's a fact. But this didn't start with O-Block or Drill music. No, this Chicago gang culture actually began with Italian & Irish immigrants far before the start of the Civil War in the 1800s and it evolved every generation since then.

Historian Dilla chats with SoCHiology on this episode to break down how gangs, violence, and corruption has been injected in Chicago's DNA from the very beginning, and how politicians were involved with it every step of the way.

The CTA is a wild place. Not only is it the mass transit system for Chicago, it's also the place where you can; witness impromptu musical performances, purchase candy, towels, and socks, witness drug deals, witness addicts consuming the aforementioned drugs, witness violent crimes, managers cussing out employees, and folks eating Harold's for breakfast...all before 8am.

During the past 10 years, the Illinois Tollway has hiked toll fares four times. Today, tolls sit at $1.50 minimum, up $0.80 a decade earlier. Revenues collected from tolls and fines for missed tolls have gone up 90% in those 10 years.

Crazy thing is the Illinois tolls were supposed to be "free" starting in 1973, but it's nearly 50 years later and these tolls still want your soul

This episode we're traveling back out west to talk about Uncle Remus, the distant cousin of Harold's. The two are completely different companies, but they are connected by chicken, mild sauce, and Chicago.

I talked with a few of Uncle Remus' kids- two westside sisters and a southside man who betrayed his roots -on why Uncle Remus is the GOAT
