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.

episode 123: Argumentum ad Fastidium - FT#123
In the one hundred and twenty third episode we explore the Argumentum ad Fastidium, or Argument from Disgust, starting with Trump dismissing kobe beef, railing against violent movies, and objecting to being asked about racism.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Angela Rayner being disgusted by Dominic Raab's behavior and then defending attack ads which others found disgusting, and Jacob Rees Mogg showing he's a man of the people by turning his nose up at baked beans.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Friends, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and The Imitation Game.
Jim and Mark go head to head in a special edition of Fake News, in which Mark has to guess which three of nine Trump NFTs are actually ones Jim made.
Then we talk about the Fox News/Dominion settlement and Tucker Carlson getting fired.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
