In the ninety-sixth episode we explore the Toupée Fallacy, starting with Trump claiming he can always tell if an entrepreneur has read his books, and then claiming to be able to spot a contractor.
In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Priti Patel's claims about what the British people are tired of hearing about, and then what the British people actually think.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Wellington Paranormal, When Harry Met Sally and Shockproof.
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 an elementary school teacher who was fired for reading a kids book to some kids.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
