In the one hundred and number two episode we explore the Pooh Pooh Fallacy, starting with Trump calling the Green New Deal childish and describing a reporter's question as stupid.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Dominic Raab calling various things ridiculous nonsense, including the fact he was on a beach in Crete when he should have been coordinating the evacuation of Kabul, the fact that evacuation had been foreseen for a while, and the outrage over the illegal prorogation of Parliament.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Blackadder, The Divine Comedy song Something For The Weekend, Futurama and Airplane!
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 upcoming Jan 6 committee hearings. At least they were upcoming when we recorded it, but now they've started.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
