EP 218: A Backdrop of Bros
from Live, Laugh, Larceny · host Amanda & Trevin
Get ready for male camaraderie, frat culture, and team sports gone wild—because this week on Live, Laugh, Larceny, we’re surrounded by bros! Trevin’s week starts with a petty mystery straight out of his own phone history, as someone in Kansas City keeps using his number for real estate and house rental applications. Can the true culprit finally be found, or will this housing hustle haunt him forever? Amanda’s parenting dilemma hits close to home when she realizes her daughter has mistaken her for a climbing gym and shoulder parrot. It’s all about teaching kids boundaries, with the usual mix of deadpan humor and relatable chaos. In Two Truths and a Lie, Trevin goes dark with a game inspired by The Death of Stalin (IFC Films). Taking a spin through modern-day dictatorships, he delivers unbelievable headlines involving Vladimir Putin, Nicolás Maduro, and Kim Jong Un—and challenges listeners to spot the fake authoritarian headline in this nightmare blunt rotation of global leaders. Amanda balances things out with a cozy fall-themed Two Truths and a Lie about pumpkins, pie, and pumpkin-spice trivia. From the world’s largest pumpkin pie record to the debate over whether pumpkins are fruit or vegetable, Amanda brings seasonal chaos and a sprinkle of millennial meltdown. Then, for Storytime, Trevin blends dark comedy and social commentary in a story inspired by the upcoming Zach Cregger movie, Weapons. Based on the arrest of Charles Burgess, this satire dives into viral trends, toxic masculinity, and the absurdity of modern internet culture. What happens when an Ohio auto shop owner gets tangled in a Bitcoin knockoff modeled after a green dildo? Add in a 12-year-old girl, the WNBA, and a case of online hysteria—and you’ve got one unhinged headline that could only happen in 2025. Amanda closes things out by revisiting one of CrimeCon’s favorite petty crimes: public urination. She shares a college party story that starts with beer and bad decisions and ends with a truly embarrassing bathroom emergency—because sometimes petty crime hits way too close to home. This week’s theme ties it all together: bros everywhere. From frat parties to dictatorships, this episode proves that toxic masculinity and petty behavior go hand in hand—and we’re here to laugh about it. 🎙️ Live, Laugh, Larceny — where true crime meets absurdity, and every petty criminal deserves their punchline.
