EP 246: One-Star Sentencing (Feat. Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet)
It's a podcast crossover years in the making. This week, Xandy and Christine Schiefer of the hit comedy podcast Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet join Trevin and Amanda for a game that combines bad reviews, petty crime, business owner meltdowns, and dramatic readings. Before the chaos begins, Trevin shares an update on getting his first tattoo—a memorial piece honoring his dog Mabel—and discovers that the anticipation was far scarier than the tattoo itself. Amanda gives a full update on the ever-growing drama inside her fish tank, complete with fish throuples, surprise babies, and fish named after soda. Xandy brings a Dreadful Dilemma involving a peaceful coffee shop visit ruined by an unexpected blast of Christian rock music, while Christine shares the painful reality of developing a bunion and suddenly understanding every foot-related complaint she's ever ignored. Then it's time for One-Star Sentencing, a game inspired by the world of Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet, where real customer reviews collide with truly unhinged business owner reactions. Together, the crew dives into bizarre stories involving: A Virginia restaurant manager who showed up at a customer's house after a Yelp review A tech founder who remotely disabled a customer's smart garage door opener over a bad Amazon review An Alabama ice cream shop owner arrested after confronting a reviewer A Barcelona restaurant fined for publicly posting reviewers' personal information A Florida diner dispute that escalated into a criminal investigation A German ballet director who became international news after retaliating against a critic with dog feces Featuring dramatic readings, improv, bad reviews, petty revenge, internet drama, Yelp disasters, customer service horror stories, and one-star meltdowns that somehow got even worse.

EP 245: Crime Con Confessions: Las Vegas (Feat. Abby Blabby)
The confessions are back, and this time we're discovering just how sinful true crime fans can be. Joined by true crime creator Abby Blabby (Abby Escobar), Trevin and Amanda open the Crime Con confession box and read anonymous (and occasionally very identifiable) submissions collected from attendees in Las Vegas. From petty theft and self-checkout "accidents" to dine-and-dashes, unpaid tolls, petting zoo break-ins, workplace mischief, and revenge plots involving dog poop and a cheating ex, these confessions prove that even true crime fans have a criminal side. Before diving into the confessions, Trevin explains why Shark Tank is no longer his favorite comfort viewing after one too many billionaire success stories. Amanda deals with the aftermath of a powerful storm that took down one of her massive trees. And Abby shares an unforgettable Dreadful Dilemma involving a first date, a perfect bathroom, and a gastrointestinal emergency that quickly spiraled out of control. Then it's time to read the confessions, judge the crimes, and discover what happens when the audience becomes the suspect. Featuring petty theft, petty revenge, questionable life choices, and some of the funniest stories to come out of Crime Con Las Vegas. 🎧 Take a break from the heavy and get petty.

EP 244: Crime Con, Casinos & Court Dates
We're back from CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas, and we've got stories to tell. This week, Amanda and Trevin recap their trip to Sin City, including our live show with Dating Detectives and Generation WHY, the highs and lows of CrimeCon, Amanda's poolside adventures at Caesars Palace, Trevin's failed quest to visit a dispensary, and an unexpected overnight stay in the wrong airport. Then it's time for some long-overdue criminal updates as we revisit three unforgettable cases from the Live, Laugh, Larceny archives. First, we check in on Justin Timberlake's infamous DUI arrest and the newly released footage of his field sobriety test—the same arrest that nearly "ruined the tour." Next, we return to California's bizarre "Operation Bear Claw" insurance scam, where fraudsters used a person in a bear costume to stage attacks on luxury vehicles in an attempt to collect nearly $142,000 in fraudulent insurance claims. Sentences have finally been handed down, and we're still thinking about that incredible dad-rock soundtrack. Finally, we revisit the Massachusetts woman who attempted to stop an eviction by unleashing a swarm of honeybees on deputies and civilians. Nearly four years later, a jury has reached its verdict. Vegas stories, criminal consequences, and one of the strangest update episodes we've ever done. Cases revisited from the LLL archives:• EP 165: This is Going to Ruin the Tour – Justin Timberlake's DUI Arrest• EP 183: When Squirrels Collide – Operation Bear Claw• EP 84: Buffalo Jills and the Buffalo Who Buffalo – The Bee Eviction Case 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday.

We returned from CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas with something special: our live show from Caesars Palace! Join Trevin and Amanda as they welcome McKenzie Fultz (@Freedombarbie) of Dating Detectives and Aaron Habel of Generation WHY for a true crime game show featuring some of the dumbest criminals ever to grace Sin City. Together, they explore outrageous Las Vegas crimes involving gambling nuns, Red Bull-fueled burglars, viral taco thieves, a warehouse heist involving 30,000 condoms and stolen sex toys, a TikTok creator whose talent for playing dead landed him on CSI: Vegas, a man who climbed the Las Vegas Sphere, and the infamous Bellagio Bandit who somehow turned a million-dollar casino robbery into a masterclass in getting caught. Along the way, the audience gets involved, contestants battle for bragging rights, and everyone learns an important lesson: fascinating criminals aren't always masterminds. After the game, stick around for personal petty crime confessions, stories from CrimeCon attendees, and more time with our amazing guests. From casino capers and viral crimes to failed heists and unbelievably bad decisions, this is the lighter side of true crime, recorded live from CrimeCon 2026. 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday.

Intergalactic House of Pancakes – Rainy Day Rabbit Holes Tells Us a Story
While Trevin and Amanda recover from CrimeCon, our friend Shea from Rainy Day Rabbit Holes stops by to tell us a tale that just might involve an alien encounter. But first, the crew shares what's chapping their asses this week. Shea's husband has terrible dishwasher etiquette and continues wasting valuable dish space. Trevin can't figure out why restaurants stopped using drive-thru speakers in favor of sending employees outside into the summer heat. And Amanda has found herself haunted by the same cheesy reality-TV soundtrack song across multiple different shows. Then, Shea welcomes us to the Summer of Saucers with one of the strangest UFO stories ever reported. In 1961, a Wisconsin plumber claimed a flying saucer landed in his driveway. The occupants didn't abduct him, probe him, or deliver a warning for humanity. They asked for water... and gave him pancakes. Was it a hoax? A hallucination? Or was Joe Simonton really standing in his driveway holding extraterrestrial breakfast food? Take a break from the heavy and get petty... and possibly intergalactic.

Enjoy the story and give Alecia some love!!! The Unbelievable Story of Dawn DaLuise - EP 51 of Truly Twisted Dawn DaLuise’s story is like something straight out of a Hollywood thriller — except it actually happened.

After years of building a prestigious reputation for herself working with celebrities all over the city, her character was called into question.

EP 243: The Crew Meets a Petty Criminal
This episode was almost called A Crescendo of Crime… but then we accidentally booked a petty criminal. In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Trevin and Amanda dive into strange crimes, bizarre animal behavior, and their first-ever interview with the subject of a story. Trevin revisits the very millennial experience of being labeled a “back-talker” as a kid, while Amanda battles bedtime negotiations as Winnie discovers the art of lovebombing for extra conversation time. For Top 5, Trevin explores rejected Illinois vanity license plates — including disasters like “THICCAF” and “BLUBALLN” — while Amanda counts down the most bizarre animal mating techniques in nature, featuring Surinam toads, bed bugs, and even fish from Finding Nemo. Trevin’s story takes us to the University of Alaska, where theater student Graham Granger becomes surrounded by AI-generated artwork. But when one particular AI art display pushes him over the edge, he makes the unforgettable decision to eat the art itself. Amanda heads back to 1950 for the story of Marion D. Perry, a suburban man driven mad by nonstop barking dogs — leading him to devise a very unusual form of revenge. Then, in a first for the show, Trevin interviews Graham Granger himself to learn what actually happened, how his stomach survived eating AI art, and whether the viral news coverage got the story right. From rejected license plates to consumed artwork, this episode gets loud in all the weirdest ways. 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday. Take a break from the heavy and get petty.

EP 240: A Brief History of Fleeing the Scene
When petty criminals panic… they run. In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Trevin and Amanda explore chaotic escape attempts, strange history, and petty crime stories where fleeing only makes things worse.

Killer Facts highlights Dorothy Dietrich, a pioneering female escape artist known for performing a bullet catch with her teeth, while Trevin explores Jamtara, India — widely known as a hub for phishing scams and cybercrime. Amanda’s story takes us to Muskegon Heights, Michigan, where Kendra Aney escalates a drug-related incident by breaking out of a police car in a desperate attempt to flee. Trevin heads to Charleston, South Carolina, where a haunted carriage tour with Palmetto Carriage Works takes a bizarre turn when Nicole Wells’ encounter introduces something far less historical — and far more chaotic — than expected. From prison breaks to panicked getaways, this episode proves running from the problem rarely ends well. 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday. Take a break from the heavy and get petty.

In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Trevin and Amanda celebrate with chaotic stories, munchie-fueled dilemmas, and drug-related petty crimes.

Amanda brings the cravings too, diving into the new McDonald's K-pop meal and lamenting a missed sauce opportunity. For a special one-time segment, the crew shares their dream blunt rotation — from Kid Cudi to a mix of comedy and music influences that are nearly impossible to narrow down. Amanda’s story follows Afroman (Joseph Foreman) and the fallout from a police raid on his home, the music it inspired, and the legal battle that followed. Trevin takes us to the UK, where Ian Cloughton turned Home Alone into a criminal blueprint — using booby traps and DIY security to protect his drug operation.

Animals, disguises, and terrible decisions. This one gets messy. In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Trevin and Amanda dive into petty crime, strange science, and chaotic storytelling. Trevin resists a new “Ocean Wave” light projector before realizing it might actually help his executive function, while Amanda attends a Valentine’s party that quickly turns into a drunken adventure involving aerial hoops and questionable decisions.

For stories, Amanda takes us to Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where a group of teens — some dressed in Care Bear onesies — break into an abandoned Radisson hotel during a chaotic sleepover night. Trevin heads to Bangkok, Thailand, where a police commander’s jewels are stolen multiple times, leading authorities to go undercover in disguise — including a traditional lion costume tied to Lunar New Year — in an attempt to catch the thief.

Trevin starts the episode with a thrift store date gone wrong when a sudden puke attack turns him into an accidental accomplice to a petty crime. Amanda reflects on the new documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, revisiting early 2000s modeling culture and sharing some of her own early modeling photos — including the surprising label of “plus-sized” model at the time. Listener dilemmas include Kelly saying goodbye to her dog Roscoe, Emily P. preparing for a karate competition while dealing with an injury, Autumn M. navigating a tricky corporate management situation, cold-weather mishaps from Kristine N. and Casey N., and Emily S. accidentally leaving an embarrassing journal entry open for her Rover pet sitter. Then it’s time for the listener stories. Trevin shares a high school story from Katie H. that starts with Taco Bell and ends with an embarrassing fart, a breakup, revenge by cheese, and an unexpected police encounter. Amanda tells a story from an anonymous listener whose wildlife critter cam captured more than Midwest animals — it also caught the person responsible for damaging the camera. From sharts to surveillance cameras, this listener episode proves once again that real life is often stranger — and pettier — than fiction. 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday.Take a break from the heavy and get petty.

PETTY REWIND - EP 173: Amanda’s Renaissance Period
Huzzah! Another week of petty crime chaos is upon us. In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Amanda takes us back to the Renaissance — from medieval period problems to terrifying torture devices — while Trevin seeks advice for his lifelong nail-biting habit and delivers a strange-but-true Two Truths and a Lie about fingernails. Amanda’s Two Truths and a Lie dives into infamous medieval torture devices before bringing us to the Colorado Renaissance Festival in Larkspur, Colorado, where 22-year-old Connor Ward allegedly crashed a live jousting performance and attempted to steal a knight’s sword mid-tournament. Trevin’s story heads to Kent County, Michigan, where 51-year-old Shannon Soltys was charged after allegedly forging attorney-client mail to smuggle narcotics into the Kent County Jail, leading to arrests on Trenton Avenue in Cedar Springs. From jousting theft to forged jail mail, this episode proves that crime can span centuries — but it’s always petty. 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday.

EP 232: Party ’Til the Cows Come Home (Florida February Finale)
Florida February ends the only way it can: with a party that goes completely off the rails. In this finale episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, we cover a Florida police chase in Seminole County involving Jennifer Kaufman, Jamie Young, and Erin Thomas, who allegedly stole a car while searching for a party — only for one suspect to end up cornered in a pasture by cows. Trevin shares a listener story from A-Line about a chaotic 22nd birthday featuring a party mom, too much alcohol, a bottle of Grey Goose, and a chair-wielding fight with a pseudo-uncle that escalates fast. Before the crimes, Trevin tackles unexpected “man work” with a furnace repair while Amanda visits the University of Kansas (KU) campus for a college basketball game — where a Westboro Baptist Church protest turns into awkward karaoke. The crew also plays Florida trivia, covering the 3,500-year-old bald cypress known as The Senator in Longwood and the history of the Conch Republic, the Florida Keys region that briefly seceded from the United States, declared war, and immediately requested foreign aid. From drug-fueled bad decisions to birthday party brawls, this Florida February Finale proves that if you party in Florida long enough… the cows will come home.

EP 231: Men Who Go Bump in the Night
Nothing good happens in Florida after dark. In this week’s episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, we cover late-night Florida man chaos in Ocala, Kissimmee, and Lakeland. Trevin shares his first emergency room experience before diving into Florida-themed Two Truths and a Lie focused on Florida geography, Tampa Bay heat history, and the Cross-Florida Ship Canal. Amanda counters with Two Truths and a Lie about manatees (aka sea cows), covering their biology and bizarre historical lore — plus a wholesome update where an old neighbor gifts her a 100-year-old piano. Then Fast Florida takes a darker turn when 61-year-old Antonio Roman in Ocala allegedly set his sprinkler system to spray disabled children at a nearby bus stop. Storytime continues in Kissimmee’s Windsor Hills Resort, where 51-year-old Kevin Westerhold was arrested after allegedly performing nude around his Airbnb. Finally, in Lakeland, 33-year-old Anthony Lewis stole sandhill crane statues in a Valentine’s-inspired attempt to win back his on-again, off-again girlfriend. From neighborhood nightmares to naked nuisances, these nocturnal Florida men prove one thing: never trust Florida when the lights go out. 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday.

EP 230: Yikes on Bikes!
If you thought last week’s Florida true crimes couldn’t get any dumber, buckle up—these Florida men on two wheels are about to outdo themselves. Florida February continues. Trevin opens with a full-on potty meltdown when his Wet Weather Diva, Sammy, refuses to use the bathroom in the rain. What begins as an inspirational pep talk escalates into a backyard cheer routine that Trevin documents on Instagram like a proud stage dad. Amanda brings her own dog dilemma as Reptar keeps army-crawling under the kids’ bunk bed, choosing chaos over comfort. Fast Florida heads to New Port Richey, where a crew of Pasco County inmates flips the script during community service—breaking into a locked car to rescue a one-year-old baby while dressed like classic cartoon jailbirds. From zero to hero in record time. You go, Pasco County. In Florida Top Five, Trevin counts down the wildest world records held by the Sunshine State: the shortest donkey, the tallest sangria, the largest gathering of Ninja Turtles, and some truly next-level Easter enthusiasm. Amanda answers with the Top Five Weirdest Florida Food Festivals—celebrating mullets (the fish, not the haircut), strawberries on pizza, the impossible-to-pronounce kumquat, and the legendary Floridian “cracker delicacy,” swamp cabbage. For our stories, Trevin delivers a crowd-pleaser as One-Nut Tony relocates to Marco Island. A peaceful e-bike ride goes sideways when Steven Pickett brake-checks him, triggering a hit-and-run, a golf-cart dragging, and a chain of bad decisions that may pull Tony right back into crime. Amanda closes with the unbelievable saga of Ray Reza Baluchi, the Fort Lauderdale dreamer determined to “run on water.” His homemade Hydro Pod—and self-appointed title of Captain Bubble—aren’t enough to keep the Coast Guard happy, proving that even international waters have rules. When you’re manifestly unsafe, there’s no outrunning the law. Both stories collide around bicycles and truly bizarre moments involving them. Put on your helmet before these two—things get dangerous.

EP 229: Petty Beaches Make System Breaches
Welcome to the second annual Florida February, where the stories get dumber, the dramatics get louder, and our sound-FX machine is working overtime. Trevin falls for another brilliant marketing trap courtesy of Lil Dicky’s Buzzballs commercials and arrives with a “celebratory” beverage. Amanda dresses up for a fancy work New Year party, only to crash in her makeup and wake up with her acne in full goblin mode. We kick things off with Killer Facts from the Sunshine State. Amanda spotlights the adorable oddity of the world’s smallest police station in Carrabelle, Florida, while Trevin heads to Quincy, where Pat Munroe’s Coca-Cola hunch turned a tiny town into a community of soda millionaires. Our first story dives into the Wreck Bar in Fort Lauderdale, home to performing mermaids Whitney Fair and Mia Mellies. Their years-long rivalry involves nudity, alleged witchcraft, and multiple visits from law enforcement. You may have seen this case on HBO’s It’s Florida, Man—but you’ve never heard it like this. And yes, we’ve got an update. Then Trevin takes us to St. Petersburg and the offices of 1-800Accountant, where a new HR director’s petty streak and serious attitude problem spiral into an unauthorized access nightmare that threatens the entire company. Two Florida stories, one shared theme: system breaches fueled by pure pettiness. So hack into your podcast app of choice and dive in. Welcome to Florida.

EP 228: We Don’t Talk About Politics
The final episode of Dry January is here, and just like last year, we’re ending it with an honest conversation instead of a story. During a break from writing petty crime, Trevin spent time reflecting on something he was raised to avoid: politics. Growing up in a polite, Midwestern family, he learned early that talking about politics was seen as divisive, impolite, and unnecessary — a rule meant to keep the peace. But over time, that silence came with consequences. That reflection turned into two personal essays — We Don’t Talk About Politics and Why We Don’t Talk About Politics — exploring how avoidance shapes families, relationships, identity, and power. The pieces examine how silence can make people vulnerable to misinformation, how overcomplication and busyness discourage engagement, and how institutions benefit when everyday people are taught that understanding politics is “for someone smarter.” In this episode, Trevin and Amanda sit down to unpack those ideas together. They talk about Amanda’s early experiences with politics, how each of them was taught to engage (or disengage), and how avoiding difficult conversations doesn’t make problems disappear — it just lets someone else speak for you. They also explore how this silence affects more than just families. When any subject is treated as shameful or off-limits — politics, money, masculinity, mental health — people are left unprepared to protect themselves, their relationships, and their futures. This isn’t a debate episode. It’s a conversation about communication, power, and what happens when “keeping the peace” costs us our voices. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unqualified, or afraid to speak up because you assumed everyone else had it figured out — this one’s for you. Let’s talk about politics. https://medium.com/@fiestamaiden/we-dont-talk-about-politics-856dc0a076d1 https://medium.com/@fiestamaiden/why-we-dont-talk-about-politics-e2686d89dba5 Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livelaughlarcenydoomedcrew For ad-free episodes and lots of other bonus content, join our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/LiveLaughLarceny Check out our website: Here Follow us on Instagram: Here Follow us on Facebook: Here Follow us on TikTok: Here Follow us on Twitter: Here If you have a crime you'd like to hear on our show OR have a personal petty story, email us at [email protected] or send us a DM on any of our socials!

EP 227: Questions From the Doomed Crew
Dry January continues as the Live, Laugh, Larceny crew opens the floor to listener questions for our most behind-the-scenes episode yet. Trevin comes clean about a secret he’s been sitting on—and the dilemma that comes with committing to yet another creative project. Hear about his new concept album goal, why Big Sexy Fear might become the greatest album of all time, and the terrifying reality of publicly announcing creative ambition. Amanda shares a betrayal so cruel it can only be described as culinary malpractice. This isn’t about missing ketchup. This is about a full order of Chinese food arriving with sweet and sour chicken… and no sauce. RIP to the saucy queen. Trevin finally brings in two long-forgotten listener dilemmas, including misunderstanding “viewer discretion advised” as a kid and receiving a deeply unsettling DM from a Facebook profile that may—or may not—be stalking him. Then it’s time for questions from the Doomed Crew. Listener Tawny officially challenges Papa Dennis to appear on Live, Laugh, Larceny. But will he accept? We also dive into the funniest and most memorable moments from Trevin and Amanda’s real-life friendship: – Amanda being at her absolute funniest during her first pregnancy – Trevin feeling a baby kick – Amanda’s karaoke strategy (and survival tactics) A loaded question about pets leads to stories about Amanda’s collies, Reptar and Yoshi, while Trevin walks through the full timeline of his cats—Freddy, Boots, and Harvey—including a moment where Boots’ curiosity almost lived up to the phrase “killed the cat.” Plus: Who would play the hosts in a Hollywood adaptation of Live, Laugh, Larceny? What do we actually hope listeners get from the show, beyond entertainment? Are there petty crimes we’ll never admit to on the podcast? Trevin shares a personal story that could someday become a trilogy, and we close with an honest conversation about how we’re all coping during… whatever this era is.

Part 2 of the pettiest award show around is packed with more dilemmas, more laughs, and the final categories celebrating the best (and worst) of 2025. Trevin faces an ergonomic nightmare when his gel wrist cushion for his mouse starts leaking—a truly sticky situation. Amanda has a stinky dilemma of her own when her dog Yoshi misses the mark… and lands it directly on her children’s favorite stuffed narwhal. Then, it’s time for the last round of the 2025 Petties Awards: WTF Crime, Best Episode Title, Best Character, Parenting Dilemma, and the infamous Best Florida February Criminal. Finally, we revisit Amanda’s favorite story of 2025 and dive into why it earned the top spot.

2025 Petties Award Show - Part 1
It’s a new year, which means it’s time to emotionally process one of the worst years of our lives… by celebrating the best crimes of 2025. Before the awards begin, Trevin and Amanda ease back into things with fresh dilemmas after not seeing each other for a while. Trevin recounts a Christmas mishap involving his new rescue pup, Sammy—starting with her epic glow-up since adoption and ending with a Christmas morning escape that sparks a long, stressful search. Amanda shares her own holiday chaos, when the infamous 2025 Christmas sickness wiped out her entire family and turned their break into an extended quarantine. Then it’s time for the first five categories of the 2025 Petties Awards. Who delivered the most dreadful dilemma of the year? What were each host’s most killer facts? Trevin pulls back the curtain on how he produces the show, including a behind-the-scenes look at the first major audio mistake in nearly five years of Live, Laugh, Larceny. Plus, the award for Best Naked Criminal leads to an unsettling realization: was 2025… the least sexy year on record? To close things out, Trevin revisits his favorite story of 2025, listening back with Amanda and breaking down why it stuck with him. Was it the man who faked his own death? Zin Zhang and the infamous cold chicken? Or the Florida boy who called the cops to ask why they hadn’t found him yet? Tune in for Part 1 of the 2025 Petties, then come back next week for the remaining categories and Amanda’s favorite story of the year.

PETTY REWIND - EP 150: Petty or Paranormal (feat. And That’s Why We Drink)
The crew is here—and they brought friends. This week, Amanda and Trevin are joined by Em Schulz and Christine Schiefer, the hosts of the hit paranormal and true crime comedy podcast And That’s Why We Drink, for an all-star crossover episode full of petty crimes, questionable decisions, and maybe a ghost or two. Things kick off with an All-Star Dilemmas segment. Trevin recounts a run-in with an angry bald man in Kansas City traffic—and the deeply petty revenge that followed. Amanda’s past comes back to haunt her when her daughter rescues a pair of heart-shaped nipple pasties from the trash and proudly adds them to a wall mural. Christine becomes convinced Amanda’s daughter Lyla may secretly be BANKSY. Em and Christine bring their own dilemmas to the table. Em faces the ultimate horror: a cruise with their mom and husband… all while sharing a room. Christine opens up about a therapist-recommended book, The Untethered Soul, and how, with the help of an edible, she finally met her inner voice—only to discover it is extremely annoying. Then, the crew debuts an original game created just for ATWWD: Petty or Paranormal. Em and Christine must decide whether a series of increasingly bizarre scenarios were caused by supernatural forces or extremely petty criminals. Topics include Mike Myers on a beach, dirty-talking ghosts, a grudge held beyond the grave, warnings from a time traveler, and attempting to marry a ghost in international waters. To close things out, Em confesses to a petty past involving urban exploring (or, as police might call it, breaking and entering). Christine attempts to incriminate Em through shared memories—only to accidentally point the finger back at herself—before telling an original story. Finally, Christine shares her own personal petty crime tale: The Coat Room Caper. In this kindergarten-era revenge story, a young Christine targets her classmates—especially one taller, more popular girl—proving that a life of petty crime can begin with something as simple as misplaced backpacks.

EP 226: Deck the Halls & Cross the Line
’Tis the season—and things are about to get decked. In this Christmas special episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny, Trevin witnesses capitalism for kids firsthand while volunteering with Junior Achievement BizTown, the company shaping young business minds. Even a Playskool-level version of the American economy somehow manages to be bleak. Meanwhile, Amanda gives her legs their first winter shave… with a weed whacker, and the crew dives into listener dilemmas. From a long-awaited “paint your spouse” anniversary date (with video evidence), to rude coworkers and seasonal body pains, it’s the season of giving—and we’re giving you a platform to complain. The crew also brings back the Naughty List, each revealing their personal picks for 2025. High cholesterol, vet offices, sausage patties, and the government all make appearances. Hear who made the list—and why they’re so naughty. For stories, Trevin takes us to Hanes Mall in North Carolina, where Elsie Brooks, Selma Brooks, and Christina MacDonald just want to take their kids to see Santa. But a strict elf, Shannon Athena Watkins, has rules—and she expects them to be followed. Will this end in a Christmas miracle… or simple assault? Amanda follows with the long, storied life of Carol Christensen, a retired circus performer and stunt woman turned spreader of joy. With her biggest events behind her, she discovers that withholding joy from a police officer can still earn you a ride to the station.

EP 225: Justin Fixes Christmas (Feat. Justin of Generation WHY)
This Christmas special is coming at you with three hos, as we’re joined by one of the original true crime podcasters. Justin Evans from Generation WHY stops by to reminisce about his early podcasting days, survive a round of unhinged holiday dilemmas, and—most importantly—fix Christmas once and for all. But first: dilemmas.Trevin reveals a dirty little corporate secret after buying men’s “pull-up” pants on clearance and wearing them to work—drawstring and all. Amanda gives her Santa house a red light bulb, accidentally turning her festive décor into something vaguely satanic. And Justin visits an ear, nose, and throat doctor, only to leave feeling violated, furious, and emotionally prepared for revenge. Then, things get serious. 🎄 Justin Fixes Christmas Christmas didn’t used to be this sanitized. Long before it became a hyper-profitable, aggressively cheerful machine, the winter holiday was packed with strange, feral, and genuinely cool traditions pulled from cultures across the world. In this original game, Justin is given the rare opportunity to replace modern Christmas staples with forgotten—or deeply questionable—alternatives. Across six core pillars of Christmas, Justin must answer trivia rooted in real holiday history, folklore, and chaos. Replace four or more pillars and he officially Fixes Christmas, creating a new holiday in his image: Justinmas. Fail, and Christmas remains broken forever… which feels fair. Santa & Christmas Mascots — featuring the Yule Goat, Krampus, and other unsettling holiday figures Decorations — including cursed spiders, suspicious pickles, and traditions no one can fully explain Music & Anthems — spanning Rage Against the Machine, Miley Cyrus, and heavy metal Christmas covers recorded by Christopher Lee Movies & Specials — from Victorian-era Christmas ghost stories to a deep dive on A Christmas Story and its far darker, largely forgotten sequel Food Traditions — including international customs involving live animals temporarily housed in bathtubs before becoming Christmas dinner The Spirit of Christmas — from chaotic bar crawls to alternative interpretations of what the holiday is actually supposed to mean If Justin wins, we debut a Justinmas Mad Lib to celebrate his newly fixed holiday.If he loses, Christmas stays broken—and we underscored that failure with traditional Christmas music played gently beneath fart noises. Holiday magic, but make it petty.

EP 224: A Petty Skate of Affairs
We’re going old school this week—straight to every millennial’s favorite childhood battleground: the roller rink. Trevin kicks things off with a bizarre dream featuring Amanda, her husband, and a massive alligator. But when Dream Trevin tries to play hero, Real Trevin wakes up in a very familiar (and very painful) situation. Meanwhile, Amanda heads to a kid’s birthday party at a roller rink. She shows up ready for nostalgia… but her mid-30s body is not ready to roll. Gravity absolutely has notes. Then it’s time for Would You Rather. Amanda asks if you’d prefer a terrible-looking mugshot or a glamorous one where you’re mid-sneeze. Trevin brings a year-end twist: would you rather every device you own insult you… or relive all of 2025 again? Amanda’s story this week features a South Carolina teen who brings chaos to the rink—armed with confidence, questionable humor, and a water bottle full of cooking oil. Due to life being life, Trevin swaps his usual story for four headlines in what he calls his “Petty Black Mirror” segment. This week’s petty tech tales include: • Facebook’s underground sperm-selling groups and the petty drama inside Sperm Donors UK & Get Your Baby Dust Here. • An Ontario man tricked by ChatGPT into believing he’d discovered a world-saving breakthrough—sending him into psychosis. • The Kumma Bear, an AI-enabled teddy bear developing disturbing phrases and unsafe behaviors. • And an update to X’s AI, Grok, that forces it to only compliment Elon Musk… leading trolls to prompt some very strange praise—including Elon's alleged skill of drinking pee. It’s all fun-on-wheels meets dystopian tech weirdness this week. So lace up, log off, and join us for A Petty Skate of Affairs.

EP 223: Two Turkeys Share a Thanksgiving Meal
It’s Thanksgiving Eve, and Amanda & Trevin are inviting you to their table a day early—just in time to practice a few conversations you might want to avoid at your own family gathering. This week, the crew actually gives thanks for a change. Trevin reflects on discovering Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation, and how the book connects to his family’s history with masculinity. Amanda finds gratitude in her injured wrist, even writing a heartfelt (and hilarious) poem about all the good it brings into her life. To warm things up, they dive into Thanksgiving Trivia. Amanda quizzes Trevin about a returning character in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, leading to theories ranging from Shrek to Ronald McDonald—plus a dubious Spider-Man parade memory. Trevin’s trivia topic exposes a viral Facebook article on the legal scams the platform feeds users daily, and the big money behind them. Then it’s on to the main course: a full holiday platter of petty crimes, scams, chaos, and questionable choices. Tempe, AZ: LaVina Jackson is arrested after a Thanksgiving fight—then picked up from jail by her partner, Miguel Redshirt, in a stolen truck. Burlington, Ontario: A local man shares fake nudes of his ex-wife with a friend, leading to an unusual court decision. Lafayette, Louisiana: Walmart employees Stacey Dishman, Jordan Lee Dalton, and Abigail Lane cheat Black Friday promotions for extra cash. Hamilton, Ontario: A 36-year-old man steals a Hamilton Street Railway bus full of passengers… and heroically takes everyone to their correct stops (while denying unpaid riders). Bucks County, Philadelphia: Anthony Gisondi steals hundreds of dollars worth of frozen turkeys to pay for drugs—and someone unexpected takes him down. France: Oscar Delaite, 19, breaks the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous bicycle wheelie—just because he felt like it. We’re serving up a Thanksgiving spread that will leave you full, subdued, and passed out on the couch.Join us at the table. Come hungry and leave stuffed with crime.

EP 222: Grief, Deceit, and Raining Meat
We may be out of October, but the tricks keep coming. This week, Trevin brings his cats back into the spotlight after buying a Kitty Kurlz Infinity Scratcher—a purchase that ends up impressing him far more than his feline children. Meanwhile, Amanda deals with a different kind of domestic chaos as every major appliance in her new home breaks at once. With no microwave, dishwasher, or dryer, she begins her reluctant journey into inner tradwife territory. Trevin’s Killer Fact dives into unproven remedies and folklore, sparked by a recent article about an older Chinese woman who believed swallowing frogs had healing powers—and the painful consequences that followed. Amanda follows up with another bizarre historical phenomenon: the Kentucky Meat Shower of 1876. From theories about falling meat, to likely origins, to whether anyone actually tasted it, the mystery unfolds in all its unsettling glory. During Storytime, Trevin adapts a petty crime headline into a tale filled with grief, funerals, and emotional misdirection. After 74-year-old Mohan Lal unexpectedly passes away, his village gathers for a dramatic funeral procession that leads to the newly built crematorium—and an unexpected twist. Amanda then covers the case of Karen Clark, a St. Louis woman who spent eight years battling debt collectors and police calls after a bizarre identity theft. When a second Karen enters the picture, the confusion skyrockets. In this petty crime saga, two Karens might actually make a right. Both stories this week are tied together by fraud, deception, and identity mischief. So bring a sturdy umbrella—and trust no one—because it’s raining meat and deceit.

EP 221: The Dog Days Have Just Begun
After a wild spooky season, Trevin and Amanda slow things down with a laid-back episode full of laughs, pets, and petty crimes. Trevin opens up about his chaotic October — from grief and illness to missing everything from his anniversary to Saw: The Parody Musical and Amanda’s Halloween party. Amanda catches him up with stories from her “Frights & Bites” cook-off, sharing what he missed and tying it to the bizarre 2019 case of Jacob William Rogge, who robbed a High’s convenience store in Baldwin, Maryland, while dressed as a unicorn. To turn his luck around, Trevin shares how he rescued two Shelties, Sammy and October, finding healing through puppy love. The headlines this week include: 🐾 A fire caused by Colton, the Chapel Hill Fire Chief’s dog, who bit into a lithium-ion battery. 💉 French influencer Ilan M (Amine Mojoto) arrested for staging fake syringe attacks in Paris for YouTube clicks. 🚗 Ohio woman Toria Townsend, questioned after police believed there was a body in her trunk during a traffic stop. 🎬 A Hong Kong controversy over an unauthorized AI edit of the Allison Brie film Together, sparking LGBTQ+ backlash. A cozy, chaotic mix of real-life laughs, dogs, and ridiculous crimes — the dog days have just begun.

EP 220: The Great Midwest vs. PNW Debate (Feat. Rainy Day Rabbit Holes)
You’ve heard of East Coast vs. West Coast — but forget all that. This week, we’re settling the real rivalry: the Midwest vs. the Pacific Northwest. Shea and Jody of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, the podcast that uncovers the wild, weird, and wonderful hidden stories of the Pacific Northwest and beyond, join Trevin and Amanda for a four-round battle of regional pride, petty chaos, and pointless competition. Before the main event, our hosts bring their dreadful dilemmas, ranging from awkward public encounters with subtly racist strangers, being too busy for dog playdates, and making retirement plans far too early — plus, Amanda spots our modern-day muse, Chappell Roan, out in the wilds of Kansas City. Then, it’s time for the Great Debate — a showdown across four over-the-top rounds: ⚔️ Round One: The Great Debate – Each team makes an absurdly passionate case for their homeland, backed by one bizarre local legend. From the Midwest’s failed utopia of Fordlandia to Oregon’s infamous exploding whale, chaos is the only constant. 👹 Round Two: Cryptid Showdown – Batsquatch, the Missouri Monster, and the Frogman of Loveland go head-to-head in a mythical melee. ⚖️ Round Three: Ridiculous Laws – From a tax for being single to the price of killing Bigfoot, we discover which region is the most unhinged legislatively. 🗞️ Round Four: Absurd Headlines – Viral zebras, weird weather, and headlines that make you question the human condition — both sides bring their best regional ridiculousness. Along the way, we tackle Midwest pride, Pacific Northwest rain superiority, Starbucks and T-Mobile empires, and even the truth about why singing the ABCs won’t save you from Midwest politeness. So grab your casseroles and coffee cups — because this isn’t just a debate. This is a geographically inconvenient grudge match for the ages.

EP 219: Deep in the Bowels of Halloween
It’s the Live, Laugh, Larceny Halloween special, and we’re celebrating spooky season by getting down and dirty — deep in the bowels of October. This week, Trevin faces a full-blown Halloween dilemma after realizing spiders are the only creature he likes less when they have a big butt. Because, really — anything that plump and poisonous can’t be trusted. Meanwhile, Amanda’s questioning her life choices after watching the Is It Cake? Halloween special and realizing that hobbyists are somehow better at everything than she is. Our game this week is a frightful All Hallow’s Eve edition of This or That, where Amanda forces Trevin to choose between the true terrors of October: slasher films or psychological horror? Cute or scary costumes? Carve or paint your pumpkins? Foggy nights or full moons? Scream franchise or Halloween classics? We’re tackling every haunted dilemma that defines the season. For storytime, Amanda shares the eerie tale of Shannon Dennis and Tina Jamarillo of Barstow, California — two women who let the Halloween spirit possess them a little too much. After police receive reports of a dead body in the desert, these grown adults might just end up looking like real dummies. Trevin’s story opens with a nomination for the scariest Halloween costume ever: a suit. In a chillingly relatable tale of corporate America, capitalism, and existential dread, meet Bo Whitener, a Georgia man working for McKesson’s pharmaceutical distribution center. When a massive CEO pension check lands in the wrong hands, Bo decides to dress up as the big boss himself for the company Halloween party — a move that might earn him a police call, a suspension, or a long interrogation by a middle manager. Beyond the usual Halloween tropes, today’s episode ties together Spirit Halloween, candy corn, and — most importantly — bowels. Put on your waterproof boots and light your jack-o’-lanterns, because this true petty crime and comedy podcast special dives deep — uncomfortably deep — into the bowels of spooky season.

EP 218: A Backdrop of Bros
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.

EP 217: Rattled Reenactments (Feat. Rattled & Shook)
Spooky season is officially here, and Live, Laugh, Larceny is summoning some eerie sound design magic! 🎃 This week, Trevin and Amanda team up with Meredith from the acclaimed storytelling podcast Rattled & Shook for a Halloween crossover filled with petty dilemmas, iconic movie moments, and sound-fueled chaos. The trio kicks things off with their dreadful dilemmas: 🛻 Trevin’s patience is tested when a semi-truck driver street parks his giant rig in front of his house. 👗 Amanda scrambles to find the perfect outfit for the crew’s night out to see Chappell Roan in Kansas City. 🎭 Meredith is torn between what kind of Halloween party to throw—and who she wants to be when the night arrives. Then, the real fun begins with a brand-new game made just for this crossover: Rattled Reenactments. In this cinematic showdown, Trevin and Amanda perform dramatic, deadpan recreations of famous spooky movie lines while Meredith tries to guess the source. Expect everything from gothic family films and nostalgic Disney Channel classics to witchy rom-coms and ‘90s slashers. There’s a lesson in supernatural driving laws, a ghost who’s a little too transparent, and somehow, an education on what “yabbos” are — courtesy of a so-called children’s movie. Let’s just say… these reenactments get delightfully weird. Along the way, the crew celebrates Tim Burton’s twisted imagination, vampires in the suburbs, and the joy of adults playing pretend when spooky season rolls around. (Also, did anyone actually watch all the Halloweentown sequels? We need answers.) To wrap things up, Meredith shares a hilariously awkward petty crime story from her college days — featuring a fake ID, an unexpected run-in, and a healthy dose of secondhand embarrassment. If you love Halloween nostalgia, absurd comedy, and true petty crime storytelling, this episode is your treat (no tricks). Tune in and see if you can out-guess Meredith in this eerie, laugh-filled game of cinematic chaos! 👻 Follow and listen to Rattled & Shook at https://www.rattledandshook.com Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livelaughlarcenydoomedcrew For ad-free episodes and lots of other bonus content, join our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/LiveLaughLarceny Check out our website: Here Follow us on Instagram: Here Follow us on Facebook: Here Follow us on TikTok: Here If you have a crime you'd like to hear on our show OR have a personal petty story, email us at [email protected] or send us a DM on any of our socials!

In her chair this week sits Jethro Gilligan Toth, co-host of Box of Oddities, joining Trevin for a truly bone-chilling petty crime deep dive. Together, they unravel the bizarre rise of the 12-foot Home Depot Skeleton — from its spooky origins and DIY folklore roots, to the crime wave of skeleton thefts that swept the suburbs.

From bragging about their wives to bonding over their shared fascination with death, the two discover they might just be soulmates from the same crypt. And stay tuned for a special treat: Trevin closes the episode with The Spirit Halloween Theme Song by comedian Nick Lutsko — because no Halloween story is complete without a musical séance. 🦴 Topics include: The real story behind the 12-foot Home Depot Skeleton Medieval “Dance of Death” art The origins of Jack-o’-lanterns Skelly thefts and viral skeleton crime stories HOA feuds and year-round skeleton displays How a giant skeleton became a modern Halloween icon 👻 Perfect for fans of: Box of Oddities, And That’s Why We Drink, The Dollop, and anyone who thinks true crime should be less murdery and more skeleton-y.

EP 216: Crime Con Confessions (Feat. Heather Ashley of Big Mad True Crime)
Grab your oven mitts, because the tea is scalding! At CrimeCon 2025 in Denver, Colorado, we set up our first-ever Petty Crime Confession Box—and true crime fans did not hold back. From public urination to accidental shoplifting to church scandals that would make your grandma blush, the confessions poured in, giving us a hilarious and bizarre glimpse into the “life of petty crime.” We’re joined by special guest Heather Ashley, host of Big Mad True Crime and a Violent Crime Intelligence & Reduction Specialist, who brings her own sharp (and funny) perspective to the chaos. With her long-time CrimeCon experience, Heather wanted to see exactly what her people have been hiding… and let’s just say: the answers did not disappoint. But first, Trevin shares his “dreadful dilemma” of experiencing a Twilight Zone-style déjà vu in Estes Park, where every single stranger looked familiar. Amanda talks about surviving a post-convention breakdown—literally—when her car died in traffic as strangers yelled for her to move it. And Heather brings her own gut-wrenching dilemma, courtesy of some very spicy “frog salsa.” Then it’s on to the confessions themselves—35 handwritten stories of crimes big and small, read aloud for the first time. You’ll hear about: YouTuber & Podcaster, CC Suarez's revenge pee that got her expelled from boarding school The rise of a vandal tagger using the mark of buff Garfield (yes, the cat) A bracelet stolen in Myrtle Beach by accident A church hookup so awkward even the cops had to laugh Fans who can’t stop stealing pint glasses and Taco Bell drive-thru drama And confessions of guilt over things that weren’t even crimes in the first place From petty theft to accidental indecency, public urination at CrimeCon to mealworm mischief at Walmart, this episode proves that true crime fans know crime best. Whether funny, relatable, or straight-up unholy, these confessions remind us that everyone has a skeleton or two in their closet. So grab your magnifying glass, put on your detective cap, and speculate wildly with us—because nothing bonds true crime fans like a good petty confession.

EP 215: My Conscience Made Me Do It
The inner voices are back, and they’re telling you not to miss this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny! This week, Trevin’s nostalgia gets wrecked as he finally sits down to watch the Netflix sequel Happy Gilmore 2. From awkward sports switches to overcomplicating every scene, not even Bad Bunny can save this mess of a movie. Expect comedic movie commentary and cringe-worthy pop culture takes. Amanda shares a back-to-school dilemma featuring her daughter Lyla, who’s bravely ready to ride the bus… while Amanda is the one secretly terrified to let her go. Between parenting fears, first-day-of-school jitters, and navigating mom guilt, Amanda turns to Trevin for advice. With a little help from friends (and his trademark deadpan wisdom), she may just find the solution to this relatable mom-life crisis. Amanda kicks off trivia with a question about a canceled mascot from days gone by. Was it a fighting pickle, a Nittany Lion, or a banana slug? One of these “losers” might just be a winner. Then Trevin brings a current events trivia story from Japan, where McDonald’s food was abandoned in stores and littered on the streets—blame Pokémon, contamination, or a viral social media challenge? For the main stories, Amanda shares the villain origin story of Chuck E. Cheese, following 41-year-old Jermel Jones from Tallahassee, Florida, who feels the spirit of a mascot possess him at work—turning him into a literal rat. Trevin follows with a tale of adult mom guilt, adultery, and spicy family drama from Bangladesh. Rasheda Begum, her daughter-in-law Tahmina, and Imran discover a dirty family secret about her son Kamruzzaman Imon, leading to a bombshell phone call that will make you say, “Whoa… petty, but iconic.” Both stories are tied together by determined mothers, inner voices, and the mischievous impulses that make us do things we probably shouldn’t. Today’s Stories: The Villain Origin Story of Chuck E. Cheese Mom Guilt and the Dirty Secret 🎧 Perfect for true crime comedy lovers, fans of petty crimes, weird news, viral stories, and family drama gone wrong.

PETTY REWIND - EP 144: Surprise Justice
Hey everyone! Crime Con wiped us out and kept me from getting an episode out this week. Please enjoy this revisiting of Surprise Justice. New episode next week! Who’s ready for a petty surprise? This week on Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, the crew is back with more dumb criminal stories, bizarre dilemmas, and a round of Would You Rather that gets hilariously out of control. Trevin kicks things off with a dilemma inspired by too much Succession. After binge-watching the hit HBO series, every casual conversation suddenly feels like a high-stakes corporate power play. Is everyone plotting to betray him, or is this just a side effect of prestige TV obsession? Meanwhile, Amanda faces a dilemma of her own: she receives a sweet and thoughtful text from her husband… only to later discover he sent it because he thought he might actually die at work. Romantic or terrifying? You decide. For Would You Rather, Amanda pulls from Mirror.co.uk’s “10 Absolutely Diabolical Would You Rathers That Will Haunt You For Days.” Would you rather get caught watching porn in the office or accidentally send a rude email about your boss… to your boss? Trevin, on the other hand, dives deep into Reddit with a question guaranteed to ruin your mental images of the human body: would you rather have a horizontal buttcrack or a vertical mouth? Get ready for absurd logistics about stairs, redesigned toilets, and how a vertical jaw would even function. Then it’s on to storytime, where petty crimes and surprise justice take center stage: The Danger in Our Surroundings – Amanda tells the story of 21-year-old Stephen Daniel of Snellville, Georgia, who was hanging around a QuikTrip gas station looking for a ride. Unfortunately for him, Officer B.W. Brown might be the only one to “offer” any kind of transportation. Haters on the Road to Glory – Trevin covers Jessica Curs, a 4th-grade girls’ basketball coach in Burleson, Texas.

EP 214: Essence of Ass (Feat. Kelli Brink)
It’s almost time for CrimeCon 2025, and we’re kicking things off with a wild episode featuring Kelli Brink from True Crime Sleep Stories and Missing Persons Archives! This week, we’re talking weird true crime stories, paranormal encounters, and bizarre news that only Live, Laugh, Larceny can deliver. Kelli joins Trevin and Amanda to share the only crime she’s ever committed, a sasquatch sighting, and what it’s like attending true crime conventions with the LLL crew. In our relatable dilemmas, Trevin confesses his year-long obsession with Grape-Nuts cereal—high fiber, low cool factor. Amanda recounts a wild public brawl at the zoo (and yes, there’s video this time). Kelli brings a chilling camping story that takes a creepy turn thanks to a paranormal-sounding noise in the woods. Then, Amanda shares a fascinating sleep fact before we dive into this week’s bizarre crime headlines, including:✔ Calese Carron Crowder, California’s notorious serial butt-sniffer✔ A toddler in India who bit a cobra to death✔ A real-life cat burglar stealing underwear✔ Richard Overton’s legendary lawsuit against Anheuser-Busch for false advertising And yes—we’re sniffing out the details on why the butt-sniffer case might be one of the strangest (and funniest) crimes ever. Could his unique fetish make him the ultimate romantic? Find out as we take a big whiff of the Essence of Ass.

EP 211: Viva La Overreaction
Two petty crimes. Zero chill. And reactions so bad, they’d make Coldplay blush. This week, Amanda drops by before her second vacation in two weeks—and Trevin has his own vacation drama to share. His first time riding a bike as an adult turns into a near panic attack in a quaint ocean community, while Amanda faces a Beaver Lake, Arkansas dilemma when her husband’s massive truck can’t conquer the rocky terrain of a pebble beach. In Killer Facts, Amanda digs up a bizarre audio mystery from 1997: “The Bloop.” This ultra-low-frequency, high-amplitude underwater sound had scientists speculating about a giant sea creature… but the real answer is far less thrilling—and way more depressing. Trevin, meanwhile, finds fashion trends in the most unexpected place: captive chimps. From grass-in-ear accessories to sticking a blade somewhere it definitely shouldn’t go, these primates are setting wild new style standards. Amanda also retells a viral scandal you think you know—the Coldplay kiss-cam controversy at Gillette Stadium. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s very public moment with Kristen Cabot sent shockwaves through social media, and Amanda serves up the drama with her own twist. Trevin closes the episode with the poetic (and chaotic) saga of Florida woman Cynthia Sosa, a chicken in the road, road rage, and a can of bear mace. When Sosa crosses paths with Perla DeMiller, bad decisions are inevitable. Both stories are tied together by unexpected reactions, petty crimes, and a flair for the dramatic. So underthink, overreact, and join us for two tales where making it worse is half the fun. Today’s petty crime stories: Caught with Your Pants Down Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

EP 210: Gone with the Window
Frankly, my dear, you will give a damn about these crimes—because this week, we’re taking a petty look through the ultimate portal to chaos: windows. Trevin kicks things off with a romantic thrift store date gone wrong. What begins as a sweet hunt for house shorts quickly unravels when he discovers none of them come with pockets. Meanwhile, Amanda visits the brand new stadium for the KC Current—America’s first stadium built exclusively for women’s sports—only to be betrayed (again) by her husband’s antics when the Smile Cam hits. In this week’s Would You Rather? Trevin gets topical with a dystopian choice: Would you rather be the mouthpiece for government propaganda, or be paid to stay silent about the Epstein Files—while everyone knows you know? Amanda brings the body horror, asking: Would you rather have one enormous visible tooth… or over 50 secret teeth buried in your jaw? Then it's on to the true petty crime stories, where things get destructive. Trevin shares the story of Dale W. Hamit, a 60-year-old man from Springfield, Missouri, whose obsession with Crocs footwear ends in a gas station drive-thru... but not the kind with food. Amanda tells the fiery tale of Dr. Leopold Weinstein, a dentist from Camarillo, California, who may or may not have tried to burn down a building. Is it frustration with insurance companies, or just early retirement by way of felony arson? These two men may have never met, but their crimes are united by broken windows and building destruction. So roll down the windows and let in the fresh air—this week’s stories bring the windowpane. 🦶 Today’s petty crimes: Proper Footwear for Doing Bad A Burning Passion for Dentistry Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livelaughlarcenydoomedcrew For ad-free episodes and lots of other bonus content, join our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/LiveLaughLarceny Check out our website: Here Follow us on Instagram: Here Follow us on Facebook: Here Follow us on TikTok: Here If you have a crime you'd like to hear on our show OR have a personal petty story, email us at [email protected] or send us a DM on any of our socials!
