In the one hundred and forty second episode we explore the Schrödinger's Idiot Fallacy, starting with Trump deflecting criticism for asking Russia to hack Hillary's emails, suggesting people inject disinfectant and getting Biden's name wrong.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at 30p Lee Anderson joking about people wanting to go to Bradford, and Avanti West Coast not being serious enough about their bonus structure.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Peep Show, Kevin Can F**k Himself, The Simpsons, and Andrew Tate.
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 $83.3 million that Trump is now required to pay E Jean Carroll.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
