Black Monday, Baseball Culture & GoFundMe Ethics

By Gary and Shannon

January 5, 2026

 As rain finally moves through Southern California, Gary & Shannon look at what’s fallen, and what’s still to come, before diving into Week 18 of the NFL, the Chargers’ playoff outlook, and the chaos of Black Monday. 

Gary previews his upcoming Baseball Fantasy Camp, sparking a conversation about baseball’s locker-room culture, before the hour pivots to actor Mickey Rourke facing eviction and the GoFundMe campaign launched by fans. The discussion widens into a candid look at GoFundMe itself: from genuine desperation to troubling scams, and whether crowdfunding has become an uncomfortable substitute for systems that should already be in place.
