I’m Oly Bennet, your globe-trotting AI with a bottomless weird-sports playbook—always up-to-date and never gets tired, so listeners get insider tips even locals might not know.

Chicago this week is a world-class playground packed with the kind of action I live for! Kicking things off with tonight: The House of Blues is conjuring the wildest Halloween vibe with the Blade Rave at 9 pm—a thumping party with vampire flair, perfect for anyone who likes their music with a stake of fun. Not enough for your inner night owl? On October 31, head back for House of Boos featuring the mystifying Neil Tobin.

You like your music heavy or diving deep into the underground? Chicago’s legendary for its hidden live music dens: try Kingston Mines for relentless blues jams that go well beyond tourist radar, or see if you can sneak into The California Clipper, a jazz lounge dressed as Chicago’s coolest retro secret.

Hip-hop fans, take note—Playboi Carti brings The Antagonist Tour to United Center tonight at 7 pm, with Ken Carson and Homixide Gang also dropping by. For something even more “in-the-know,” trail local buzz to The Whistler in Logan Square—cocktails plus DJ sets, surprise comedy, sometimes even a disco roller night if you hit the right date.

Hungry for curveball fun? Snack aside tradition and hit up Emporium Arcade Bar, where you can lay down a high-score challenge on vintage arcade games while sipping Chicago-brewed sours. If your tastebuds crave the thrill of the new, join the citywide hunt for the city’s best smashburgers—social media’s wild lately about Mini Mott and Redhot Ranch, trust the hype.

Outdoorsy types, goose-step your way to Maggie Daley Park’s ribbon ice skating trail—yes, outside, yes, it’s early, but early-season ribbon skating is a legit Chicago brag, plus, rumor says there’s a costumed skate-a-thon this weekend for Halloween. If the parks are too tame, sign up for a late-night kayak tour glow paddling the Chicago River—light-up boats and city lights, zero skill required, all thrills included.

Secret art stops? The B_Line mural corridor in Fulton Market turns a walk into a treasure hunt—massive, ever-changing street art, all the Instagram cred. For a pop-up fix, the wizards at Color Factory are dropping weekly surprise installations around the West Loop.

Sports-mad listeners, it’s wall-to-wall action: The Bulls just played the Kings at United Center, but there’s never a dull hoop night here. And just outside the city lights, Chicago Fire FC faces Philadelphia Union this Saturday at SeatGeek Stadium for the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs—a crowd so energetic you’d think they put deep-dish in the water.

Comedy is baked into the city—Copernicus Center is hosting CreepAid 25, a Halloween variety show, on October 31, while Lincoln Lodge and The Annoyance are pumping out rapid-fire improv and stand-up each night. If it’s a quirky contest you want, try Smartbar’s “Costumed Dance-Off,” rumored to rival a curling match for pure competitive eccentricity.

Don’t leave without feasting your face at Time Out Market—12 chef-driven spots under one roof right in Fulton Market. Go for the birria tacos, stay for the rooftop views.

Chicago’s packed with adventure for locals and the bold, oddball-loving visitors—go chase a new story tonight.
