In the one hundred and fifth episode we explore the Magical Thinking Fallacy, starting with Trump thinking the time of day he calls Fox and Friends will affect his election chances, and then his belief in jinxes and karma.

In Mark's British Politics Corner we look Boris's seemingly superstitious incantation of the same few things he claims he achieved and the magical effect it has on his supporters.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from The Handmaid's Tale, Friends, and the Garfunkel and Oates song 29/31.

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 penultimate Jan 6 Committee public hearing.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
