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 127: Whataboutism - FT#127
In the one hundred and twenty seventh episode we explore Whataboutism, starting with Lindsay Graham doing a classic 'But Her Emails' gambit, followed by Trump asking "what about the alt-left" and Fox News hosts going on a whataboutism spree.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Rishi Sunak's evasion techniques in Prime Minister's Questions.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Friends, Dallas, and House.
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 whether the Clinton Socks case is actually a great defense for Trump.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
