In the one hundred and forty sixth episode we explore the Obfuscation Fallacy, starting with Trump badly clarifying his support for Putin, Trump's Doctors pretending he wasn't given supplemental oxygen when being treated for COVID, and Kevin McCarthy denying something nobody accused him of.In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Boris being suitably vague about his plans to run for leader and his missing WhatsApp messages, Mark Harper and Graham Stuart being unclear repeatedly about whether Lee Anderson and Frank Hester said racist things.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from That Mitchell & Webb Look, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and Shrek the Third.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 what's going on with Trump's various court cases.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft146 You can contact the guys at pod@fallacioustrump.com, on Twitter @FallaciousTrump, or facebook at facebook.com/groups/fallacioustrumpSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/fallacious-trump/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Robert Webb first reached a wide audience as the co-star of Channel 4's longest running sitcom, the BAFTA-award winning Peep Show. With his long-standing comedy partner David Mitchell, he also created That Mitchell and Webb Sound for BBC Radio 4, which transferred to TV as That Mitchell and Webb Look, which also won a BAFTA. Robert was born in Lincolnshire and first became hooked on comedy when his impressions of teachers made his school friends laugh. After realising that many of his comedy heroes had studied at Cambridge University, and were members of the Cambridge Footlights, he decided to follow in their footsteps. He took his A levels twice in order to win a place to study English there, and went on to become vice-president of the Footlights - where he met David Mitchell. Their comedy partnership has lasted for 30 years, starting out with shows for the Edinburgh fringe and writing for other performers, before enjoying TV success as a double act. Robert has also written a best-selling memoir, How Not to be a Boy, in which he reflects on masculinity, and a novel. In 2019, a routine medical examination revealed that he had a congenital heart defect. He underwent heart surgery and is now fully recovered. Robert lives in London with his wife and two daughters.

Witte mannen met een midlifecrisis, zijn daar niet al genoeg films over? Niet als je het goed doet, vindt podgast en filmkenner Gerlinda Heywegen. Druk (2021) deed haar weer denken aan die andere grote film van Thomas Vinterberg, Festen (1998). Maar misschien is het ook vooral gewoon plezierig om dit Deense viertal dronken te zien worden. Martin (Mads Mikkelsen) start met het experiment: de hele dag alcohol drinken, tot je een bloedpromilage van 0,5 hebt. Hij voelt zich lekkerder in zijn vel en vol zelfvertrouwen. En vooral is hij niet meer zo'n saaie lul. Zijn drie maten volgen snel ook. En al gauw loopt het misschien niet meer zo ontegenzeggelijk positief. De film leverde Vinterberg de Oscar op voor Beste Buitenlandse Film. Gerlinda schrijft over over films, verzorgt lezingen en podcasts erover en nog een hoop meer. Toen we deze film uitkozen, sprintte ze zo gauw als ze kon naar de bios om Druk opnieuw te kijken. Dat voorspelt dus veel goeds! We hebben het ook over films afzeiken die aan een overleden dochter zijn opgedragen en de reden dat de aflevering over Frank een dagje later beschikbaar was voor de Patrons. En ook geeft Gerlinda een minirecensie die misschien niet zo mini is, maar host Ruuds interrupties helpen daar ook niet.

Phil, Jake and Beth are joined by writer, model and friend Eirinie Carson to rank the TV sitcom Frasier, the British Royal Family, and fast fashion on the List of Every Damn Thing.Follow Eirinie on Instagram (@eirinieeee) and Twitter (@Eirineee). Her articles (including the one Jake mentions in this episode) and other projects can be found here.Beth is raising money through Rise Up Against Racism to build little free anti-racist libraries throughout the Bay Area. Her fundraising page can be found here. You can follow her progress on Instagram (@little.free.antiracist.library).If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).SHOW NOTES: We talk briefly about kid's shows, including We Bare Bears, Apple & Onion and Hey Duggee. In Apple & Onion, Richard Ayoade plays Onion. He and his best friend Apple live in an apartment and deal with various problems. Everyone they know is food. It's strange because their friend Falafel has ground onions inside of him and they never mention it. It's like Pixar's Cars where it's best not to think about it too much. Here's some examples of the rules of anthropomorphic food on the show. Sitcoms discussed in this episode include Cheers, 30 Rock, Seinfeld, The IT Crowd and Peepshow. Phil also brings up That Mitchell & Webb Look, which isn't sit but is com. We were right in assuming Kelsey Grammer hung out with Robin Williams. It turns out they were roommates at Julliard. It's possible they may have used cocaine together. Here's the article Beth mentions about Grammer's problematic politics putting the Frasier reboot at risk. When Jake says the character of Daphne Moon reminds him of Cathy, this is what he's talking about. There's some talk of how Julia-Louis Dreyfus / Elaine changed throughout the course of Seinfeld. It's possible when Phil said this what really was happening was that he himself was growing into manhood and began to look at JLD differently. Here's some fish-throwing at Pike Place Market. Our Black Frasier discussion includes the one on 30 Rock as well as Phoebe Robinson podcast. Eirinie doesn't think Choppin' Broccoli is funny but Jake still does. Here's Monica Bellucci in a latex dress from The Matrix movies. She wears more than one so here's a video of all Monica Bellucci content from those films, compiled by someone operating with one hand. Most of Jake & Beth's research on the royal family was done by watching The Crown on Netflix. Jake also listened to the Prince Harry interview on Dax Sheppard's podcast. Fast fashion retailers discussed include H&M, UNIQLO, Target and Old Navy. They're all doing okay so we didn't provide links.

In the seventy-fifth episode we explore Tokenism, starting by explaining why Trump appearing in a photo with Rosa Parks doesn't mean he's not racist, and looking at other times he claimed he wasn't racist. In Mark's British Politics Corner we look at Sajid Javid not being an ally of the Windrush community, and Matt Hancock lying about Boris Johnson's track record on racism. In the Fallacy in the Wild, we check out examples from Spin City, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Superstore, and Sleeper. Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which of three Trump quotes Jim made up. Then we talk about the UK's proposed new voter ID law. And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

Join award-winning comedian, author and lifelong male Robert Webb for a frank and funny conversation about not living by the rules of masculinity. "Would it surprise you to hear that I'm a virgin?' she said 'I won't say I'm surprised, I won't say I'm unsurprised but you'll catch them up.' So yeah, that was a good chat. Then we carried on watching Dallas." ROBERT WEBB Why are boys not supposed to cry or talk about their feelings? Do all men actually like sport and beer? Are you the Luke Skywalker of your life, or are you in fact Darth Vader? These are just some of the questions that have plagued Robert Webb, from a boyhood being insistently told not to cry, to his roles in That Mitchell & Webb Sound and the BAFTA award-winning That Mitchell & Webb Look, and as permanent man-boy Jeremy in the acclaimed Peep Show.

The Craft of Comedy conference, held in Llandudno, North Wales on 22 February 2014, was aimed at people looking to get into the comedy business. In this master class from the conference, John Finnemore, creator and writer of John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme and Cabin Pressure talks to BBC Radio Comedy producer Colin Anderson about radio sketch writing. He talks about how he made it as a sketch writer and gives his advice to fledgling comedy writers. Having done his fair share of low-profile comedy gigs, John recommends that stand up comedy is a good training ground. Whether at a students’ union or a room above a local pub, this is your chance to find out what works and whether your sketches will stand up or fall flat in front of an audience. As John puts it, you need to perform your sketches live “to find out where the laughs are.” Sketch writing is easier to get into than trying to pitch a whole sitcom series to a radio show. A sketch may only be a couple of minutes, but once it’s been accepted, you can quickly build your relationship with that broadcaster. With the growth of open door radio shows such as The Show What You Wrote and Newsjack, it’s easier than ever for budding sketch writers to approach programme-makers and see results. John describes how best to pitch to these shows, which both accept submissions from completely new writers. John advises writers to keep their sketches short. Familiarise yourself with the style and cast of a show, avoid racist, sexist or violent content and remember to always include a punchline. The more you can become known as a promising writer the more useful feedback you will get from programme makers to help improve your work. John also encourages sketch writers to keep notebooks with them at all times and to never throw an idea away – you can always improve upon it later. Find out what writing routine works best for you, whether that means writing at 6am or 8pm. He also says that although comedy sketch show producers do get sent a lot of submissions, very few of them are usable, so good writers will stand out straight away - “the competition isn’t as daunting as you might think.” John Finnemore is a comedy writer for BBC Radio 4 Extra’s airline-themed sitcom Cabin Pressure, as well as the Radio Academy award winning sketch show John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme. He has also written for That Mitchell & Webb Look, Dead Ringers and The Now Show. Colin Anderson graduated from the BBC’s programme-making trainee scheme to become a producer for BBC Comedy. He has produced sketch shows for various BBC Radio stations, as well as the comedy series Josie Long: All of The Planet‘s Wonders and The Maltby Collection. He has won Radio Academy Awards for The Now Show and Mark Thomas: My Life In Serious Organised Crime.
The fall TV season is nearly upon us, bringing with it a slew of summer series finales and pilot previews and giving us plenty to discuss this week on the podcast. Simon Howell is back and helps break down a full week in TV, starting with previews of the New Girl and The Mindy Project ... The post The Televerse #159- That Mitchell and Webb Look with Alasdair Wilkins appeared first on PopOptiq.
As Tara takes a vacay, John Ramos joins the rest of the crew to discuss Mad Men's return for the first half of its final season. Has it lost its sense of humor? And how would we like to see it end? We also discussed a few shows we're late to the party on -- Parks & Recreation, The Clone Wars -- and one whose party we should have left weeks ago. After considering That Mitchell & Webb Look for the Canon, we gave rare and qualified kudos to Carlton Cuse, and during Game Time, reading was fundamental. So grab some Ritz Crackers (but not a Hershey bar), steal your secretary's roses, and settle in for a real Weiner of an episode of Extra Hot Great. GUESTS
