This week, Ryan and David break down why the markets got spooked, what Powell really said about December cuts, and what it means heading into November. We also cover MegaETH's oversubscribed ICO, Monad's airdrop, Polymarket's confirmed token, and JP Morgan's $34B Base token estimate. Plus Solana's new ETF, Western Union's stablecoin, Circle's controversial L1 launch, the X402 payment boom, and the latest on Consensys and Securitize IPOs. ------

Three stories from Chicagoans who endured a terrifying experience that they couldn't explain, couldn't get over, or couldn't escape. Karen Holt tells the story of her haunted childhood home on Chicago's Southeast Side. Was her house simply saturated with “residual energy”? Or was the ghost of a lost boy wandering the halls? Rachel Shuki tells the story of the haunted, now-closed school she taught at on Chicago's West Side. A tragic disaster from the past could be the reason behind unexplained occurrences in the building. Ben Astrachan and Jackson Zinn-Rowthorn tell the story of their Northwest Side apartment complex, the ritual site they found in the basement, and the friend that messed with it. Have they disturbed a spiritual realm they aren't equipped to handle? Get cozy, dim the lights and press play.

Lindsay is joined by bestselling thriller and horror author Scott Wells to discuss his book, “Marked By The Ouija,” which established him as a powerful voice in YA horror—blending supernatural mystery with the emotional depth of adolescence. When a group of friends stumble upon a brand-new Ouija board, a night of harmless fun spirals into a terrifying encounter with the unknown. Spooked by the pleas of restless spirit “Peter”, they burn the board — which reappears the next day, without a trace of the fire. Haunted by cryptic warnings, unexplainable phenomena, and a message they can't ignore, the thrillseekers find themselves tangled in ghostly vengeance. As the line between the natural and the supernatural blurs, they face a life-altering question: Can they trust the board, or are they unleashing a darkness far beyond their control?
