Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast

EP 207: America is Burning


Listen Later

It’s our Fourth of July special, and we’re celebrating the star-spangled stupidity that makes America so uniquely… itself. This week, Trevin opens up about his personal struggles with 2025, leading to an honest and heartfelt conversation about mental health, burnout, and the complicated relationship many of us have with our country. Amanda brings a classic summer dilemma after taking her family to the public pool—where heat, chaos, and slippery surfaces turn a fun outing into a logistical nightmare.

In our killer facts segment, Amanda puts her new diamond knowledge to use with a deep dive into the curse of the Hope Diamond and the trail of misfortune it’s said to leave behind. Meanwhile, Trevin spotlights one of the most stomach-churning facts we’ve ever featured, focusing on a bizarre and disturbing chapter of American history with Stubbins Ffirth—a man whose dedication to science went a little too far.

Then it’s time for our petty crime stories, both tied to the Fourth of July and the theme of arson. Amanda brings what may be Live, Laugh, Larceny’s first truly traditional Independence Day tale, featuring fireworks, small-town chaos, and a search for the celebratory culprits in Santa Clarita. Trevin rounds things out with the story of Brianna Baird, a woman from Bussey, Iowa, whose drug-fueled night of political rage led to a fiery spree involving multiple stolen American flags.

Whether you're celebrating, questioning the system, or just here for some explosive pettiness, this episode is a blazing tribute to the weirdest parts of American independence.
