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.

4.8 out of 5 stars from 175 ratings
  • 5 star lies

    This podcast is just spouting out lies, hypocrisy, lies, hatred, lies, did I mention lies?

    …Oh, and lies, definitely lies.

    Great show, 5 stars.

    Every episode is also littered with idiocy, gross incompetence and, of course, lots of fallacies.

    I really really wish this show didn’t exist, but highly recommend giving it a listen.

  • Pod therapy

    Have to think my brother Scott for recommending this podcast! We share a passion for it! it’s therapeutic to hear a like-minded source of content. Trump gives you the humor, but you bring it to life for us! I’m disgusted listening to his stupidity, but I’d still rather know the ugly truth then be a giant raging conservative bozo trumplican. The names listeners come up with for the Cheeto mad man is never ending !

    I’m proud to support you! Love you guys😎

    My favorite bit is Mark trying (and often succeeding) at using the fallacy of the week to defend his Fake News score.
