Before we kick off Live, Laugh, Larceny 2025 and our upcoming Dry January episodes, we’re throwing it back to last year’s hilarious New Year’s episode: EP 141: The Foul-Mouthed and the Followed.

Watch your mouth and your back because this one’s packed with relatable chaos! Trevin reflects on his “pants awakening,” recounting his journey from husky jeans to athletic fit—growth is real. Meanwhile, Amanda dives into a parenting dilemma, wondering how much the tooth fairy pays in today’s inflated economy.

For Two Truths and a Lie, Trevin serves up surprising facts about coffee—think McDonald’s, the Pentagon, and even poop—while Amanda keeps it festive with shocking New Year’s Eve trivia about items dropped at midnight.

When it’s time for story time, Trevin tells the tale of a creepy employer in Seville, Spain with a knack for invading privacy, and Amanda shares the wild story of a South Carolina mom, named Danielle Wolf, whose meltdown in Kroger made headlines. Both stories are tied together with personal touches that make this episode one for the books. Start your New Year’s throwback with us—this petty drama and humor is too good to miss!

Grab your eggnog, light up those Christmas lights, and get ready for holiday hijinks as we sleigh into the season! This week, Trevin faces a marketing crisis after stumbling upon an Amazon ad for Crime Junkie while shopping for cat products. Inspired, he asks Amanda the million-dollar question: what weird products could promote Live, Laugh, Larceny? Meanwhile, Amanda’s holiday dilemma is that a wanted poster criminal plastered all over town looks suspiciously like her husband. Coincidence, or something sinister?

The holiday trivia keeps things festive as Amanda asks, which Christmas song was the first to be played in space with a musical instrument? Spoiler: it’s out of this world. And Trevin takes us to Japan, where a surprising Christmas tradition features… Kentucky Fried Chicken? Yes, really.

Our true petty crime stories are the ultimate stocking stuffers this week:
🎅 Inspired by Santa – Jesse Berube, a thief with big Santa energy, finds himself stuck in a literal tight spot during a holiday break-in at Lori’s Little Shack in Citrus Heights, California.
🧥 A Historic Ugly Sweater Party – Michael Rohana of Bear, Delaware, crashes a museum party and leaves with more than just holiday cheer.

If you’ve ever wondered how petty crime and Christmas spirit can collide, this is the episode for you!

The holiday season is upon us, and everyone’s misbehaving!

This week, Trevin kicks things off with a festive TV show recommendation perfect for any Christmas binge, while Amanda shares her struggle after buying an Elf on the Shelf so small it could hide in a snowflake—meet Frost Pips!

Before diving into the chaos, the crew exchanges Christmas presents, where Amanda receives a fun surprise, and Trevin delivers a gift so huge it might just steal the show.

Next, the crew unwraps a Top 5 Holiday Edition filled with bizarre and petty Christmas facts. Was there a prequel to The Grinch Who Stole Christmas? What’s the surprisingly petty history behind Christmas caroling? And did someone really write a Christmas song about... pooping presents?

Story Time delivers two shockingly selfish holiday crimes. Amanda tells the tale of Shaina Hudson, a mother of five who woke up to a Grinch-like thief stealing her family’s Christmas gifts. Trevin follows up with the story of a mischievous South Carolina kid whose quest for a GameBoy Advance SP takes a hilariously selfish turn. Both stories reveal just how far people will go to steal—from themselves—during the holidays.

Don’t be a ho ho ho this season! Spike your eggnog, grab your defecating log, and join us for our final petty crime-filled episode of the year.

Buckle up, because this week we’re throwing the rulebook out the window and hitting the gas on a hilarious journey into the world of petty crimes. Trevin opens the episode with a heartfelt reflection on the strange emptiness he’s been feeling since the election, leading to a recommendation for the documentary Join or Die. In his quest for community, he also has some exciting news to share—Live, Laugh, Larceny has two new team members! A-Line and Jess are bringing fresh creativity to the show, with stunning designs and video editing that’ll take things to the next level.
 
Amanda kicks off the crime-themed fun with a dreadful dilemma that dives back into the chaos of the school pickup line. This time, a mysterious man appears, handing out unsolicited directions and maybe even trying to land a date. One thing is certain: nobody asked for his help. Later, during Killer Facts, Amanda revisits her beloved Ripley’s Believe It or Not to share the bizarre tale of a hamster testing space tourism, while Trevin answers the burning question: “Have Brussels sprouts really gotten tastier?”
 
When it’s time for stories, things take a strange turn. Trevin’s tale features a futuristic Arizona traffic stop that feels like something straight out of Black Mirror. Meanwhile, Amanda introduces us to Jack, a wannabe hockey player whose dreams are dashed by his lack of skills and a drinking problem that leads to an unforgettable (and illegal) adventure.
 
What ties these two stories together is their shared theme of strange vehicles. Whether it’s an encounter with cutting-edge technology during a traffic stop or a misguided attempt to fulfill hockey dreams on wheels, these petty criminals prove that the road to crime is anything but ordinary. Tune in to find out how these hilarious missteps unfold!

Get ready to go nuts because this week, squirrels are stealing the spotlight in the quirkiest ways possible.
 
Trevin kicks things off with a hilarious recap of a public speaking phenomenon he experienced on stage, struggling to stay in the moment as his mind wandered. Meanwhile, Amanda finds herself tangled in another trampoline-related incident, this time under a nostalgic black light at a children’s party.
 
In Two Truths and a Lie, Amanda challenges Trevin with winter-themed trivia, featuring snowfall, snowflakes, and record-breaking temperatures. Trevin ups the stakes with a round of insurance-related truths that might just have you reconsidering your own policies.
 
Story Time delivers a double dose of absurdity. Amanda shares a listener story from Tawny, involving car break-ins, monks, and a surprising twist with Christian music. Trevin’s tale takes us into the wild world of animal antics, unveiling a chaotic scene of supposed bear attacks across San Bernardino. But the twist? It’s not what you think—and it’ll blow your mind.

Mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and… zero gratitude? Mom didn’t spend a week prepping this feast for you to forget your manners! 

In this special Thanksgiving episode, Trevin kicks things off by sharing his cozy "Winter 69" dilemma—because it feels better when it’s going down. Meanwhile, Amanda gets hilariously personal, recounting a post-partum lactation struggle that every mom can relate to (and laugh at). Do we smell a Pumping-Girl sequel?
 
In Thanksgiving Trivia, Trevin dishes up a historical throwback to when a president pardoned more than just turkeys, while Amanda challenges everyone with the ultimate cranberry question: just how many berries make up a single can?
 
For Story Time, Trevin dives into the record-setting antics of Henry Earl, a man who finds a chosen family in the unlikeliest places, all while breaking the law. Amanda follows with the chaotic tale of Elizabeth Macias, a determined mom on a Black Friday mission to snag Xbox games and survive her kids’ antics. Both stories come together to remind us of one thing: being a mom on the holidays is no small feat, especially when kids are downright thankless.
 
Tune in for heartwarming laughs, jaw-dropping petty crimes, and a little holiday chaos as we celebrate the most "Thankless Giving" of all.

The crowd is in an uproar, and the air is thick with boogies—this week, crime comes squelching!
 
Trevin feels a bit sheepish about the post-election special but brings one more political twist to the table as a previous petty criminal throws their hat into the political ring. Meanwhile, Amanda—rocking her new "sick voice"—has been rewatching Stranger Things with subtitles, only to discover some words that make her skin crawl.
 
In a twist on the Two Truths and a Lie segment, Amanda dives into the world of bizarre allergies, challenging Trevin to sniff out the fake one. Not to be outdone, Trevin reveals his ulterior motives with an NFL-themed round, hoping it might superstitiously boost his fantasy football luck.
 
Story Time:
Amanda shares the messy misdeeds of 21-year-old Brianna Reyes, whose sickness spirals into a surprising arrest. Trevin keeps the NFL theme alive with the story of Marsha Kearney, mother to a football superstar, and the unexpected challenges that come with a life tied to fame.

Grab your tissues—this episode is dripping with nose slimes and petty crimes!

Hey, everyone! Per our last episode, we are taking this week off, but we've got an episode from our friend Kaydra with Perplexity: A Mystery Podcast here for you!

Kaydra's voice may sound familiar to you, as she played the ghost hunter in our big All-Star Halloween special. We had the pleasure of joining her on her show, for this wacky prison escape episode, and it was a ton of fun. Go ahead and give her show a follow on socials and on your listening app! We will be back with a new episode next week. 

In this episode, Kaydra tells Trevin and Amanda the hilariously fascinating story of Frank Morris and the Anglin Brothers. These three men are allegedly the only individuals to have ever successfully escaped from Alcatraz prison in California. But did they actually escape? The FBI claims the men drowned. Thank you to Ryan for recommending this topic.

It's the day after the election, and the crew dives into politics with a mix of humor and honesty. Get ready for adult themes, bold opinions, and some unexpected twists!
 
This week, Trevin makes an enlightening trip to Massachusetts, where he uncovers "America" in a unique way, sparking a deep reflection on childhood roles—whether you're the "bedroom kid" or the "living room kid"—and the power of acceptance in shaping young minds. Meanwhile, Amanda is stuck dealing with a sinkhole that local officials have decided can wait until next year.
 
In Killer Facts, we uncover some wild trivia about "The Beast," the president's fortified limo (also known by the codename Stagecoach). Amanda surprises Trevin with the imaginative world of Kane Kwei's fantasy coffins, leading to a fun debate on what custom coffin design Trevin would choose.

And now for what you've all been waiting for: Story Time! Trevin shares the wild story of Emily Grover and the stolen election of 2020, complete with intense interrogations and a dose of political satire. Amanda tells the tale of comedian Ariel Elias and her unforgettable encounter with someone else's political rage. Both stories offer a humorous yet candid look into the world of politics, only the way Live, Laugh, Larceny could.

For our final Halloween stories of the season, Amanda (as Witch Wanda) spins a tale of a young man from Oklahoma City who’ll go to any lengths for the perfect “sexy” costume.
