  • UPDATED BIWEEKLY

Jim and Mark use the insane ramblings of a tiny-handed narcissist to explain logical fallacies. Each episode we focus on a single logical fallacy and, using examples from Trump, UK politics and pop culture, explore how and why it fools people, how to avoid committing it yourself, and how to counter it in an argument.

    Spin Doctoring - FT#190

    In the one-hundred-and-ninetieth episode (in which we swap roles Freaky-Friday-style), we explore the Spin Doctoring Fallacy, starting with Trump and co lying about the murders of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by ICE and CBP thugs. In Jim's British Politics Corner, we look at Keir Starmer avoiding a question, and Jo Moore's ill-advised attempts to bury bad news. In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Men in Black, Family Guy, and Yes, Minister. Mark and Jim go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Jim has to guess which one of three Kemi Badenoch quotes Mark made up. Then we talk about the timeline for ending the Iran war. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Rather than just mindless anti-Trump rhetoric, we apply skepticism and critical thinking to our Donald Trump analysis by exploring his liberal use of logical fallacies and cognitive biases, along with a bit of humor and news about US politics. (But there is also some of that much needed anti-Trump rhetoric.) Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    As you know, we occasionally go back and take a second look at fallacies we've explored before, but we're never going to get to them all, and we keep seeing examples out there, so we thought we'd gather some together in some special episodes.

    I watched the State of the Union so you don't have to (probably should have warned you in advance - sorry about that!), and I checked if anything Trump said was true. Here's the result. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Sanctimony Fallacy - FT#189

    In the one-hundred-and-eighty-ninth episode, we explore the Sanctimony Fallacy, starting with Trump calling Democrats immoral for their stance on abortion, and claiming he did the right thing regarding Roe v Wade. In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch justifying the kidnapping of Maduro, the morality of Zack Polanksi's former profession as a hypnotist, and David Cameron hypocritically attacking Jimmy Carr's offshore tax affairs. In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Witness, The Big Bang Theory, and Ted 2. Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up. Then we talk about the murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agents in Minnesota. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
