Gary and Shannon kick off the Weekend Fix for 2026 by wandering into one of the most revealing topics there is: gambling habits. From betting on global politics and prediction markets to casino floors, penny slots, craps tables, and the thrill of chasing that one unforgettable win, they unpack why gambling hits people differently and why it is easier than ever to do it nonstop from your phone.

Along the way, the conversation turns personal with stories about lucky streaks, near misses, Vegas myths, and the moment you convince yourself you have cracked the code. They also explore how gambling addiction mirrors other forms of addiction and why the chase is often more powerful than the payout.
