    Logical Fallacies

    Logical Fallacies

    Since we discuss them so often on the show, it's really only logical that Matt should formally (and informally) talk about what constitutes a logical fallacy and why they're important. Levi teaches us the ins and outs of figs and the depressing life of some wasps, while Sam breaks the news that bone broth may not be all it's cracked up to.
