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.

The wheels of injustice go 'round and 'round — and this week’s petty crimes may just leave you spinning.

Trevin starts things off with an embarrassing encounter at a massage parlor, where a deep tissue session brings him to his knees (literally), complete with a defeated wimpy voice and all. Meanwhile, Amanda battles another medical misadventure, as a sudden fainting spell leaves her bruised, swollen, and understandably over it.

In Two Truths and a Lie, Trevin shoots for the stars with space-themed trivia. Discover how astronauts clean their clothes in orbit, what changes NASA made for women, and which U.S. state is weirdly overrepresented among people who leave the planet.

Amanda follows up with a mole-themed investigation — inspired by her father’s latest nemesis. Are moles venomous to earthworms? How fast do they dig? And what do their underground love lives look like? It’s rodent romance and dirt facts galore.

Then, we roll into this week’s petty crime stories — where both cases involve criminals on wheels.

🚗 Trevin's Story takes us to Davenport, Florida, where Elijah Mills is caught using a stolen rental car to drive for Uber. Desperate to keep making money (and keep driving), Elijah’s logic is as bold as it is baffling. But will two British newlyweds throw a wrench in his rolling hustle?

🛒 Amanda's Story introduces us to two grumpy men in Rochelle Park, New Jersey — Hector Cortez and Alfredo Rodriguez — and their unlikely loot: stolen shopping carts. This ShopRite saga rolls through petty theft, old-man drama, and a manager who loves his store.

With crimes on wheels, there’s no telling where they’ll take you — but trust us, it’s nowhere good.

A petty crime podcast episode filled with food, fast food sauce nostalgia, and chaotic appetites.

Pull up a chair and prepare your palate—because the Saucy Queens, Trevin and Amanda, have a reservation for crime, and you're on the guest list.

This week, Trevin finally tracks down the elusive salad that haunted him last year—only to discover its spicy vengeance leaves him sweating bullets. Meanwhile, Amanda recounts a recent dining disaster in what can only be described as Diary of a Wimpy Amanda.

The duo dives into a flavorful conversation about discontinued fast food sauces that are now collector's items. From Taco Bell’s Fire Roasted, to McDonald’s Szechuan, and Wendy’s S’awesome Sauce, this nostalgic deep-dip delivers a taste of the past.

Trevin also explores the surprisingly petty world of drunk bees with insights from the article, Why Bees Get Buzzed—and poses the question: what happens when you arrive at the hive tipsy?

This week’s petty crime stories are as saucy as ever:

🍟 Amanda heads to Seattle where Dippin’ Dan just wants his Taco Time fix—but when the meal arrives dry, things get desperate.
🍎 Trevin introduces us to Shawneesha Cobbs, a woman trying to turn her life around... one Applebee’s All-You-Can-Eat special at a time.

Both tales are drenched in food, sauce, and low-stakes chaos, making this episode a true feast of criminal proportions.

So grab a snack, maybe a dipping sauce or two, and join us for another hilariously unhinged serving of Live, Laugh, Larceny.

This week, we're exploring the fine line between neighborly and nefarious. Because sure, community is important—but not all of them are worth joining.

Trevin is feeling the heat of summer, or as he calls it, Body Dysmorphia Season. In a rare moment of vulnerability, he opens up about the struggle of connecting to his body in a world that won’t stop looking.

Meanwhile, Amanda returns with a major life update, packed with dilemmas. New house? New job? New levels of chaos? Check, check, and check.

In Killer Facts, Trevin dives into the Bayeux Tapestry—a medieval embroidery depicting the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. That leads to the latest game round of Dong or Dagger?, because of course it does. Amanda shares a jaw-dropping fact from Ripley's Believe It or Not involving authentic vampire-killing kits—and maybe discovers a new merch opportunity for the show.

For stories, Trevin travels to the unincorporated neighborhood of Silverthorne, Colorado, where one resident is being repeatedly targeted... with bags of dog poop. A petty crime? Yes. A whodunit? Absolutely. Call it a turder mystery.

Then Amanda takes us to Joliet, Illinois, where a man named Clifton Williams gets himself into trouble over one unfortunate courtroom sound. Is Judge Daniel Rozak dishing out justice—or just making people afraid to breathe? This case is not a yawn-fest.

Take a break from the heavy and get petty—because this week, we’re placing you right in the middle of some truly criminal communities.

Things get a little too mischievous this week on Live, Laugh, Larceny! Trevin can’t stop wasting pineapple—despite his best efforts—and Amanda's already slapping mosquitoes in March. Are we sure summer didn't skip spring?

The crew plays a wild round of Two Truths and a Lie: Trevin goes full Animal Planet with facts about quokkas, capybaras, and honey badgers, while Amanda brings props and Pop Rocks to test Trevin’s sweet tooth and smarts.

Then it’s time for storytime, where the crimes may be labeled “mischief,” but the drama goes way deeper.

🕰️ Antiques and the Empty Man – Trevin shares the tale of 60-year-old Mitchell Vest, a man trying to fill the void in his soul—with antiques.

Whether you're here for weird animal facts, petty criminal drama, or pineapple waste rage, this episode delivers. Bring on the mischief—because after this one, you'll feel full in the weirdest ways.

Things are getting weird this week—and that’s saying something.

We’re joined by the delightfully bizarre minds behind Weird True Crime for a very special guest episode. Together, we form the Roundtable of Weird, where strange dilemmas, dumb criminals, and questionable life choices are always on the menu.

Trevin kicks things off with an existential crisis involving his life partner, ChatGPT. Is his unrelenting politeness costing the planet millions in server strain? Will he risk environmental ruin in the name of kindness? Meanwhile, Amanda escorts Lyla to her first karate competition, where she’s baffled by the tournament's poker-chip-based economy and baffling logistics.

The Weird True Crime duo enters the chat with their own personal weirdness. Amber’s husband has become a walking billboard for his job, refusing to wear anything but his work uniform. Gina, on the other hand, keeps forgetting one crucial thing at the grocery store—salt. Weeks of underseasoned food have left her flavor-deprived and full of regret.

Then it’s time for the main event: a four-person crime story showdown. Trevin and Amanda dig into petty crimes too short for a full episode, while the Weird True Crime crew brings us the finest dumb criminal tales straight outta Texas. You’ll hear about:

Alex Van Duyn and the mysterious gifts from the Portland Pisser

83-year-old Lillie McClendon weaponizing sausage water

A feathery vandal terrorizing Rockport, Massachusetts

A mischievous dog embarking on a crime spree in McAllen, Texas

Avante Nicholson’s drug-dealing Easter/420 promotion campaign

Tamain Marquell Williams double-fisting a beer and coffee because he doesn’t have time for that

Annamae Cabalsa Martinez calling AAA—during a high-speed police chase

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile getting a frank warning in Waukesha, Wisconsin

There’s a whole lot of dumb, weird, and wonderful packed into this episode. So pull up a chair, grab your beverage of choice, and get ready to join the weirdest roundtable in true crime podcasting.

Ready to question reality? Bring your big brain and your curiosity—because this week, we’re joined by Jill ChaCha from the comedy-science podcast Well… That’s Interesting, where the facts are bizarre and the laughter is inevitable.

Trevin revisits his greatest nemesis—mowing the lawn—with a petty twist. Amanda finds herself in a super glue disaster while crafting paper teacups for her daughter’s birthday. And Jill faces a hard truth about aging, when one glass of wine turns into a full-body betrayal the next morning.

But the real chaos begins when Jill hosts a trivia game inspired by some of the wildest facts ever featured on Well… That’s Interesting. Expect mind-blowing moments and strange-but-true stories featuring narwhals and their giant tooth, the mysterious woman without a face, the beauty (and brutality) of nature, and more.

If you love fun facts, weird science, and offbeat comedy, this episode will leave you saying, “Well… that’s interesting.”

Hop on our flying carpet — today, we’re all Disney princesses (crowns optional).

This week, Trevin is officially ordained and struggling to write a wedding speech that’s somehow harder than crafting petty crime stories. Meanwhile, Amanda’s mind is blown at Disney on Ice, where four-legged characters are skating their hearts out in front of her family.

In trivia, Amanda dishes on a Disney princess with surprisingly few lines, while Trevin introduces us to Glynn “Scotty” Wolfe — the Guinness World Record holder for most marriages ever (yes, seriously).

For storytime, Amanda pulls off a full Disney bingo with the arrest of Caleb Albers in Oklahoma City, just around a Disney on Ice tour stop, while Trevin dives deep into the drama of Angela and David Voelkert — a messy custody battle fueled by 2011 Facebook antics. Both stories feature perpetrators whose problems go far beyond their viral petty crimes.

Get ready for an episode packed with childlike whimsy, unexpected gasps, and just the right amount of heartbreak. It’s true crime, comedy, Disney magic, and divorce chaos like you’ve never heard before.

We will be back next week with a new episode. But for today, enjoy this special rewind of Ballad of the Toilet Man!

🎶 Sing it loud, sing it proud—for the Toilet Man, of course. It's Wednesday, which means it's time to raise your voice (and maybe a few eyebrows) for another round of petty crime storytelling!

This week, Trevin finds himself literally singing the praises of the Toilet Man—with the window open, no less—treating the whole neighborhood to his musical breakdown. Meanwhile, Amanda is dealing with a new electricity billing plan so evil it has her family living in darkness like budget-conscious vampires.

In Would You Rather, things get emotionally confusing. Trevin wants to know what would sting worse: being dumped for someone better in every way... or a crusty blow-up doll? Amanda keeps it physical, asking if you'd prefer eternal stubbed toes or a symphony of paper cuts.

Then it’s on to this week’s stories:

Love Letters From Prison – Trevin brings the tale of Carl Wayne McGraw Jr., a man with fake Facebooks, prison romance, and a unique spin on the revenge plot.

Petty Crime is Afoot! – Amanda shares the journey of three Peruvian men, a whole lotta shoes, and not a single working brain cell between them.

So grab your plungers and prepare your vocal cords. It’s time to sing your soul out... for the porcelain god himself.
