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.

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.

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?

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

✝️ Petty sins. Sacred nonsense. Divine dumbness. Scripture says, “The meek shall inherit the earth.” But what about the petty? This week’s episode is holy, hilarious, and downright criminal. Trevin kicks things off with a revelation—after witnessing some Facebook drama with record-breaking engagement, he believes he’s unlocked the future of marketing. His plea? If you're about to start an online feud, plug the podcast while you’re at it. #BlessedAndBoosted Amanda’s Dreadful Dilemma involves planning her next murder mystery party. She opened the floor to a vote between two themes—‘80s and Freak Show—but it ended in a tie. She's accepting divine intervention or your input. In Two Truths and a Lie, Amanda confesses to two criminal acts—leaving one unclaimed. Has she ever: Publicly urinated? Called a cop a pussy? Or had an attractive mugshot? Trevin takes a turn with Barbie-themed trivia, inspired by the movie. Is it true that: Barbie’s yellow lab Tiffany was discontinued after tragedy? Barbie was based on a pornographic doll? Barbie once came with a diet book titled Don’t Eat? Then, for story time: 🙏 Amanda covers the case of Colleen Okeson, a 62-year-old church administrative assistant in Arlington, WA, who forged checks from her Methodist church—and blamed it all on Satan. 🐹 Trevin tells the tale of a 12-year-old Florida boy (dubbed Tim Schitz) who wanted TikTok fame so badly, he kidnapped Coconut—a guinea pig beloved by students at Tree House Episcopal Montessori. Yes, a church-school guinea pig heist for the clout. Two crimes. Both committed on sacred ground. Crime on a Biblical Level is more than a catchy title—it’s a petty sermon you won’t want to miss. 🔊 Hit play. Hallelujah.

Come to cool down… stay for the assaults. The dog days of summer are here, and things are heating up in more ways than one. This week, Trevin confronts his latest identity crisis: reacting to danger with an involuntary, excited “Woo!” From unexpected collisions to genuine fear, his inner panic keeps getting mislabeled as party energy. He's not a "Woo girl"—he's a deeply confused Woo boy. Amanda dives into a petty domestic dilemma: throwing her first backyard barbecue at the new house… with zero help from her husband. The convo turns into a reflection on her home’s party-hosting potential—and the convenience (and chaos) of living next door to her parents. For Trivia, Amanda shares a heroic animal tale from WWII featuring Juliana the Great Dane. But what exactly earned this brave pup a Blue Cross Medal—did she stop a bomb, aid a soldier, or cause a ceasefire? Meanwhile, Trevin brings corporate chaos, asking: Which household brand secretly built spy electronics, a deep-sea sub, and a balloon surveillance system? In Story Time, both crimes center around one theme: beating the heat—through bad decisions, petty drama, and watery weapons. Amanda’s story follows Kylee Edwards and friends as they head to a Buffalo Wild Wings in Fogwood, Mississippi to watch a UFC fight. But the real brawl isn’t on the screen—it’s in the booths. Things escalate fast, from food indecision to full-blown chaos. Trevin shares a tale of suburban summer gone wrong. During a backyard cookout in Simcoe, Ontario, Wendy Washik ends up arrested after a squirt gun skirmish with neighbor Sheehan Rochester turns into an actual assault. Who knew water guns, lawn mowers, and unspoken beef could make the evening news? In the Summer of 2025, it’s not just the temperatures getting violent.

What do a fresh ADHD diagnosis, dinosaur sound effects, and unexpected genitals have in common? Apparently, everything. This week, Trevin opens up with a personal dilemma and mental health update that trades dread for clarity—offering an honest look into the wild world of adult ADHD. Meanwhile, Amanda revisits her favorite chaotic segment: children's books with sound effects. Her newest prop? A prehistoric button-masher that may give our infamous donkey book a run for its money. The duo then dives into another chaotic round of Top 5. Trevin counts down the Top 5 Most Bizarre Actor Contract Clauses, featuring high-maintenance Hollywood legends like Vin Diesel, George Clooney, and Barbra Streisand. Amanda counters with a nostalgic trip into her childhood obsession with pharmaceutical ads, ranking Five of the Worst Prescription Drug Recalls in History—because who doesn't love a little mayhem in the medicine cabinet? In story time, Trevin revives the theme of terrible excuses with a fresh petty crime tale set at Tom Husband Leisure Centre in Salford. Will 60-year-old Xin Zhang break a sweat at the gym—or just make things weird in the sauna? Either way, his explanation is... something. Amanda’s story starts with the original bad decision: eating the forbidden fruit. But this apple-heavy story leads to a real-life skinny-dipping crime off the coast of Massachusetts, starring Zachary Tomko, Holly O’Neil, and a bold disregard for pants. Apples, nudity, and cold water—what could go wrong? Shockingly, both crimes share an unexpected theme: surprise genitals. From medical revelations to beachside shenanigans, there's no escaping ADHDeez Nuts.

Trevin is using his vacation card this week to get episodes ready before his week off. Have a great week, and enjoy this classic petty rewind. If you haven't checked out our 4th of July special episode, definitely go back to that. We're pretty proud of those stories. Clock in and prepare to feel trapped for the next eight hours—because this week, we’re heading to work in the most unprofessional ways possible. Amanda kicks things off with a Dreadful Dilemma about surviving the back-to-school grind, navigating chaotic drop-off lines that resemble a well-rehearsed drive-thru ballet. Meanwhile, Trevin’s stuck designing a Crime Con sticker for his first live appearance and spiraling into a branding-induced crisis. For Killer Facts, Amanda breaks down the notorious Tent City Jail in Arizona—a controversial outdoor prison under Sheriff Joe Arpaio that’s somehow too harsh for actual criminals. Trevin, inspired by a recent Oppenheimer watch, dives deep into the explosive history of the Tsar Bomba, the biggest nuclear detonation ever unleashed by humankind (spoiler: it was a lot more than fireworks). Then it’s story time, and today’s theme is “bad employees doing worse things.” In Trevin’s Breaking Bad-inspired tale, Christopher Adam Matous and Kent Jerome Duby, two Taco Bell workers in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, cook up more than crunchwraps—they’re caught running a meth lab in the kitchen. Amanda shares the story of Susan Navarette Rodriguez, a 32-year-old Florida mom who decided the school drop-off line was the perfect time for a hit-and-run… on Officer Michael Hernandez. Whether you’ve worked fast food, survived school traffic, or just love watching workplace disasters from a safe distance, this episode is your petty criminal employee orientation.

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.
