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 129: Nutpicking - FT#129
In the one hundred and twenty ninth episode we explore the Nutpicking Fallacy, starting with Trump claiing Democrats want to repeal the 2nd Amendment, then suggesting immigrants are violent and dangerous, followed by Brad Parscale struggling to understand humor.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at both Tory and Labour MPs struggling with numbers.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from The Little Mermaid, Tour of Duty and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
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 two Trump indictments that came through since our last episode.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
