Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast

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.

’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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠livelaughlarceny@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or send us a DM on any of our socials!

Welcome to Paraween, presented by the ParaPods Network! This Halloween, Amanda’s been host-snatched—spirited away to the And That’s Why We Drink feed for some haunting hijinks. 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. You’ll hear about Skellynappers, HOA horror stories, out-of-season skeleton displays, and neighbors turned vigilantes. It’s a tale of Halloween capitalism, petty vandalism, and the unbreakable spirit of spooky season. But between all the bones and bad behavior, Trevin and Jethro find something even stranger — friendship. 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.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: Pet Loss & Grief This is not a regular episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny. This special bonus is a raw and emotional conversation recorded for Trevin’s own expression and healing following the loss of his beloved dog, Mabel. ❤️ If you would prefer to simply read the written eulogy, you can visit: https://www.livelaughlarceny.com/post/remembering-mabel In this candid conversation, Trevin opens up to Amanda about the heartbreaking day he lost Mabel — sharing the difficult details of how an accident led to her passing, and the complex grief that follows when you know something wasn’t your fault, but still feels like your responsibility. Together, Trevin and Amanda explore the heavy mix of guilt, love, and memory that comes with loss — and how healing often means allowing both truth and tenderness to coexist. After opening up about his struggles and leaning on his community for support, Trevin and Amanda reflect on their favorite memories with Mabel, the joy she brought into their lives, and the lighthearted moments they shared — including funny parody plans Trevin once dreamed up for her. The episode closes with Trevin reading the Remembering Mabel eulogy post, honoring the legacy of a dog who became a part of the show, and a part of so many hearts. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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. Her undefeated season was threatened when heckler Gary Melson disrupted her championship game. But when police show up, nobody is a winner. From gas station arrests to police-backed game-day surprises, this episode is full of petty criminals, strange justice, and plenty of laughs.

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.
