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 136: I'm Entitled to my Opinion - FT#136
In the one hundred and thirty sixth episode we explore the I'm Entitled to my Opinion Fallacy, starting with Mike Pence defending Trump's right to the opinion that he actually won the popular vote, Joe Tacopina defending Trump's right to the opinion that Judge Marchan was biased against him, Roger Stone invoking his own right to the opinion that Russians aren't Russians, and Kellyanne Conway inventing the term 'Alternative Facts'.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Gary Lineker claiming his right to his opinion about Brexit, and GB News defending Suella Braverman's odious opinions.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from The Mentalist, The Big Bang Theory and 12 Angry Men.
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 Trump family testifying under oath.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
