EP 239: Kylie’s Eras Tour (Feat. Kylie Talamantez)
2026/04/22
We’re taking a tour through celebrity crime — no Taylor Swift required.
In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Kylie Talamantez of Crime with Kylie joins Trevin and Amanda for a custom game built just for her: Kylie’s Eras Tour — where celebrity scandals meet chaotic timelines.
Before the game, Trevin rediscovers his love for Love on the Spectrum, Amanda fully commits to becoming a Crocs household, and Kylie vents about American Girl quality changes and the spread of “Mattel pink.”
Then it’s time for Kylie’s Eras Tour.
From Prince stealing a megaphone mid-tour to Matthew McConaughey’s naked bongo arrest, Reese Witherspoon asking “do you know who I am?”, Winona Ryder’s shoplifting case, Bill Murray’s airport incident, and Ariana Grande’s infamous donut scandal — Kylie has to place each crime in the correct “era” of their career.
The final round pushes things even further, blending Tim Allen’s real-life past with his sitcom future in a chaotic design challenge.
After the game, Kylie shares her own experiences with crime and what it’s like living in San Francisco.
From celebrity scandals to absurd timelines, this episode proves crime never goes out of style.

EP 238: HIGH Crimes & Misdemeanors
2026/04/16
It’s time for our annual 420 special — and things are getting elevated.
In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Trevin and Amanda celebrate with chaotic stories, munchie-fueled dilemmas, and drug-related petty crimes.
Trevin’s taco night dilemma leads to a surprising discovery: mini taco shells might be the ultimate munchies snack. Amanda brings the cravings too, diving into the new McDonald's K-pop meal and lamenting a missed sauce opportunity.
For a special one-time segment, the crew shares their dream blunt rotation — from Kid Cudi to a mix of comedy and music influences that are nearly impossible to narrow down.
Amanda’s story follows Afroman (Joseph Foreman) and the fallout from a police raid on his home, the music it inspired, and the legal battle that followed.
Trevin takes us to the UK, where Ian Cloughton turned Home Alone into a criminal blueprint — using booby traps and DIY security to protect his drug operation.
From raids to ridiculous decisions, this 420 episode proves crime and creativity don’t always mix.

EP 237: We Planted a Landscape of Fear
2026/04/08
Things are about to get nasty — and in these stories, anything can be planted anywhere.
In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Trevin and Amanda dive into chaotic headlines, reality TV drama, and some of the grossest petty crimes yet.
Trevin vents about Kansas City traffic after a major bridge shutdown, while Amanda spirals over reality TV chaos as Taylor Frankie Paul shakes up both The Bachelorette and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
For Two Truths and a Lie, Trevin brings bizarre traffic-related facts involving Frank Sinatra, wolf populations, and the Seinfeld finale, while Amanda explores the strange history of Charles II of Spain and the extreme consequences of royal inbreeding.
Trevin’s story heads to Towson, Maryland, where Christopher Carroll’s behavior at a fire station escalates into a disturbing and unsanitary series of acts involving shared items and an audience.
Amanda brings us to Newport Beach, where 53-year-old Michael David Meek repeatedly targets Roger's Gardens — leading to an unexpected hero and some very creative surveillance tactics.
From reality TV scandals to truly gross crimes, this episode proves some things should never be planted.

EP 236: Jailhouse of Mouse (Feat. Arijana Ramic)
2026/04/01
Your Disney Channel nostalgia is about to take a hit.
In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, stand-up comedian Arijana Ramic joins Trevin and Amanda for a deep dive into Disney Channel stars, celebrity crimes, and chaotic real-life stories.
Arijana shares her 10-year stand-up journey and how writing led her to the stage, while Trevin brings a dilemma about the Instagram algorithm turning stand-up comedy into static content. Amanda recaps a work party wardrobe struggle that ends with an unexpected “I ❤️ sluts” shirt sighting, and Arijana vents about the universal annoyance of noise pollution.
Then it’s time for Jailhouse of Mouse, a custom game where Disney Channel stars meet their criminal records.
From Shia LaBeouf’s first arrest at age nine to scandals involving the Jonas Brothers, a fake ID incident at Coachella, and appearances from Zac Efron and the cast of High School Musical, the crew revisits the wild side of childhood icons — including a shared love for Hannah Montana.
To close, Arijana shares her own real-life story of being the victim of a petty crime after discovering an arsonist on her patio — and why trusting your gut matters.
From Disney Channel scandals to real-world chaos, this episode proves even your childhood favorites aren’t safe from petty crime.

EP 235: Lions and Care Bears... Oh My!
2026/03/25
Animals, disguises, and terrible decisions. This one gets messy.
In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Trevin and Amanda dive into petty crime, strange science, and chaotic storytelling.
Trevin resists a new “Ocean Wave” light projector before realizing it might actually help his executive function, while Amanda attends a Valentine’s party that quickly turns into a drunken adventure involving aerial hoops and questionable decisions.
Killer Facts explores the internet’s favorite amphibian, the axolotl, and why it’s suddenly everywhere, while Trevin shares a bizarre scientific development involving early research into “butt-breathing” and human trials.
For stories, Amanda takes us to Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where a group of teens — some dressed in Care Bear onesies — break into an abandoned Radisson hotel during a chaotic sleepover night.
Trevin heads to Bangkok, Thailand, where a police commander’s jewels are stolen multiple times, leading authorities to go undercover in disguise — including a traditional lion costume tied to Lunar New Year — in an attempt to catch the thief.
From animal obsessions to costume crimes, both stories connect through marker-covered faces and questionable decisions.

2026/03/18
No death. Just chaos.
In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Trevin and Amanda break down bizarre headlines and ridiculous real-world stories that prove the news is often stranger than fiction.
Amanda reacts to recent extreme weather, describing massive hail damage as “frozen destruction,” while Trevin and Amanda dive into a series of absurd and chaotic news stories from around the world.
From Glasgow, a bizarre incident involving an unexpected and very aggressive encounter is described as “full force, big boot… maximum disrespect.”
With a mix of strange crime, weird news, and unbelievable moments, this episode delivers pure headline chaos without the heavy.

EP 233: Now That’s What I Call Listener Stories Vol. 4
2026/03/11
It’s time for another all-listener episode.
In this installment of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, we dive into listener stories, embarrassing moments, and petty crime chaos submitted by the crew.
Trevin starts the episode with a thrift store date gone wrong when a sudden puke attack turns him into an accidental accomplice to a petty crime. Amanda reflects on the new documentary Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, revisiting early 2000s modeling culture and sharing some of her own early modeling photos — including the surprising label of “plus-sized” model at the time.
Listener dilemmas include Kelly saying goodbye to her dog Roscoe, Emily P. preparing for a karate competition while dealing with an injury, Autumn M. navigating a tricky corporate management situation, cold-weather mishaps from Kristine N. and Casey N., and Emily S. accidentally leaving an embarrassing journal entry open for her Rover pet sitter.
Then it’s time for the listener stories.
Trevin shares a high school story from Katie H. that starts with Taco Bell and ends with an embarrassing fart, a breakup, revenge by cheese, and an unexpected police encounter.
Amanda tells a story from an anonymous listener whose wildlife critter cam captured more than Midwest animals — it also caught the person responsible for damaging the camera.
From sharts to surveillance cameras, this listener episode proves once again that real life is often stranger — and pettier — than fiction.

PETTY REWIND - EP 173: Amanda’s Renaissance Period
2026/03/04
Huzzah! Another week of petty crime chaos is upon us.
In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Amanda takes us back to the Renaissance — from medieval period problems to terrifying torture devices — while Trevin seeks advice for his lifelong nail-biting habit and delivers a strange-but-true Two Truths and a Lie about fingernails.
Amanda’s Two Truths and a Lie dives into infamous medieval torture devices before bringing us to the Colorado Renaissance Festival in Larkspur, Colorado, where 22-year-old Connor Ward allegedly crashed a live jousting performance and attempted to steal a knight’s sword mid-tournament.
Trevin’s story heads to Kent County, Michigan, where 51-year-old Shannon Soltys was charged after allegedly forging attorney-client mail to smuggle narcotics into the Kent County Jail, leading to arrests on Trenton Avenue in Cedar Springs.
From jousting theft to forged jail mail, this episode proves that crime can span centuries — but it’s always petty.

EP 232: Party ’Til the Cows Come Home (Florida February Finale)
2026/02/25
Florida February ends the only way it can: with a party that goes completely off the rails.
In this finale episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, we cover a Florida police chase in Seminole County involving Jennifer Kaufman, Jamie Young, and Erin Thomas, who allegedly stole a car while searching for a party — only for one suspect to end up cornered in a pasture by cows.
Trevin shares a listener story from A-Line about a chaotic 22nd birthday featuring a party mom, too much alcohol, a bottle of Grey Goose, and a chair-wielding fight with a pseudo-uncle that escalates fast.
Before the crimes, Trevin tackles unexpected “man work” with a furnace repair while Amanda visits the University of Kansas (KU) campus for a college basketball game — where a Westboro Baptist Church protest turns into awkward karaoke.
The crew also plays Florida trivia, covering the 3,500-year-old bald cypress known as The Senator in Longwood and the history of the Conch Republic, the Florida Keys region that briefly seceded from the United States, declared war, and immediately requested foreign aid.
From drug-fueled bad decisions to birthday party brawls, this Florida February Finale proves that if you party in Florida long enough… the cows will come home.

EP 231: Men Who Go Bump in the Night
2026/02/18
Nothing good happens in Florida after dark.
In this week’s episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, we cover late-night Florida man chaos in Ocala, Kissimmee, and Lakeland.
Trevin shares his first emergency room experience before diving into Florida-themed Two Truths and a Lie focused on Florida geography, Tampa Bay heat history, and the Cross-Florida Ship Canal.
Amanda counters with Two Truths and a Lie about manatees (aka sea cows), covering their biology and bizarre historical lore — plus a wholesome update where an old neighbor gifts her a 100-year-old piano.
Then Fast Florida takes a darker turn when 61-year-old Antonio Roman in Ocala allegedly set his sprinkler system to spray disabled children at a nearby bus stop.
Storytime continues in Kissimmee’s Windsor Hills Resort, where 51-year-old Kevin Westerhold was arrested after allegedly performing nude around his Airbnb.
Finally, in Lakeland, 33-year-old Anthony Lewis stole sandhill crane statues in a Valentine’s-inspired attempt to win back his on-again, off-again girlfriend.
From neighborhood nightmares to naked nuisances, these nocturnal Florida men prove one thing: never trust Florida when the lights go out.

EP 230: Yikes on Bikes!
2026/02/11
If you thought last week’s Florida true crimes couldn’t get any dumber, buckle up—these Florida men on two wheels are about to outdo themselves. Florida February continues.
Trevin opens with a full-on potty meltdown when his Wet Weather Diva, Sammy, refuses to use the bathroom in the rain. What begins as an inspirational pep talk escalates into a backyard cheer routine that Trevin documents on Instagram like a proud stage dad. Amanda brings her own dog dilemma as Reptar keeps army-crawling under the kids’ bunk bed, choosing chaos over comfort.
Fast Florida heads to New Port Richey, where a crew of Pasco County inmates flips the script during community service—breaking into a locked car to rescue a one-year-old baby while dressed like classic cartoon jailbirds. From zero to hero in record time. You go, Pasco County.
In Florida Top Five, Trevin counts down the wildest world records held by the Sunshine State: the shortest donkey, the tallest sangria, the largest gathering of Ninja Turtles, and some truly next-level Easter enthusiasm. Amanda answers with the Top Five Weirdest Florida Food Festivals—celebrating mullets (the fish, not the haircut), strawberries on pizza, the impossible-to-pronounce kumquat, and the legendary Floridian “cracker delicacy,” swamp cabbage.
For our stories, Trevin delivers a crowd-pleaser as One-Nut Tony relocates to Marco Island. A peaceful e-bike ride goes sideways when Steven Pickett brake-checks him, triggering a hit-and-run, a golf-cart dragging, and a chain of bad decisions that may pull Tony right back into crime.
Amanda closes with the unbelievable saga of Ray Reza Baluchi, the Fort Lauderdale dreamer determined to “run on water.” His homemade Hydro Pod—and self-appointed title of Captain Bubble—aren’t enough to keep the Coast Guard happy, proving that even international waters have rules. When you’re manifestly unsafe, there’s no outrunning the law.
Both stories collide around bicycles and truly bizarre moments involving them. Put on your helmet before these two—things get dangerous.

Trailer: Welcome to Live, Laugh, Larceny
2026/02/07
Drama. Every true crime story has it — we just don’t need murder to find it.
Welcome to Live, Laugh, Larceny, a true petty crime podcast where we dig up the wildest real-life nonsense, rewrite it as full-blown audio dramatizations, and perform it with immersive sound design, cheesy reenactments, and a few creative liberties.
Then we pull back the curtain and reveal the real story — and you might be shocked what’s actually true.
From petty revenge plots to grudges with viral consequences to personal stories sent in by listeners, we live in the space where bad decisions meet main-character energy.
If you find true crime podcasts too murdery, take a break from the heavy and get petty.

EP 229: Petty Beaches Make System Breaches
2026/02/04
Welcome to the second annual Florida February, where the stories get dumber, the dramatics get louder, and our sound-FX machine is working overtime.
Trevin falls for another brilliant marketing trap courtesy of Lil Dicky’s Buzzballs commercials and arrives with a “celebratory” beverage. Amanda dresses up for a fancy work New Year party, only to crash in her makeup and wake up with her acne in full goblin mode.
We kick things off with Killer Facts from the Sunshine State. Amanda spotlights the adorable oddity of the world’s smallest police station in Carrabelle, Florida, while Trevin heads to Quincy, where Pat Munroe’s Coca-Cola hunch turned a tiny town into a community of soda millionaires.
Our first story dives into the Wreck Bar in Fort Lauderdale, home to performing mermaids Whitney Fair and Mia Mellies. Their years-long rivalry involves nudity, alleged witchcraft, and multiple visits from law enforcement. You may have seen this case on HBO’s It’s Florida, Man—but you’ve never heard it like this. And yes, we’ve got an update.
Then Trevin takes us to St. Petersburg and the offices of 1-800Accountant, where a new HR director’s petty streak and serious attitude problem spiral into an unauthorized access nightmare that threatens the entire company.
Two Florida stories, one shared theme: system breaches fueled by pure pettiness. So hack into your podcast app of choice and dive in. Welcome to Florida.

EP 228: We Don’t Talk About Politics
2026/01/28
The final episode of Dry January is here, and just like last year, we’re ending it with an honest conversation instead of a story.
During a break from writing petty crime, Trevin spent time reflecting on something he was raised to avoid: politics. Growing up in a polite, Midwestern family, he learned early that talking about politics was seen as divisive, impolite, and unnecessary — a rule meant to keep the peace. But over time, that silence came with consequences.
That reflection turned into two personal essays — We Don’t Talk About Politics and Why We Don’t Talk About Politics — exploring how avoidance shapes families, relationships, identity, and power. The pieces examine how silence can make people vulnerable to misinformation, how overcomplication and busyness discourage engagement, and how institutions benefit when everyday people are taught that understanding politics is “for someone smarter.”
In this episode, Trevin and Amanda sit down to unpack those ideas together. They talk about Amanda’s early experiences with politics, how each of them was taught to engage (or disengage), and how avoiding difficult conversations doesn’t make problems disappear — it just lets someone else speak for you.
They also explore how this silence affects more than just families. When any subject is treated as shameful or off-limits — politics, money, masculinity, mental health — people are left unprepared to protect themselves, their relationships, and their futures.
This isn’t a debate episode. It’s a conversation about communication, power, and what happens when “keeping the peace” costs us our voices.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unqualified, or afraid to speak up because you assumed everyone else had it figured out — this one’s for you.
Let’s talk about politics.

EP 227: Questions From the Doomed Crew
2026/01/21
Dry January continues as the Live, Laugh, Larceny crew opens the floor to listener questions for our most behind-the-scenes episode yet.
Trevin comes clean about a secret he’s been sitting on—and the dilemma that comes with committing to yet another creative project. Hear about his new concept album goal, why Big Sexy Fear might become the greatest album of all time, and the terrifying reality of publicly announcing creative ambition.
Amanda shares a betrayal so cruel it can only be described as culinary malpractice. This isn’t about missing ketchup. This is about a full order of Chinese food arriving with sweet and sour chicken… and no sauce. RIP to the saucy queen.
Trevin finally brings in two long-forgotten listener dilemmas, including misunderstanding “viewer discretion advised” as a kid and receiving a deeply unsettling DM from a Facebook profile that may—or may not—be stalking him.
Then it’s time for questions from the Doomed Crew. Listener Tawny officially challenges Papa Dennis to appear on Live, Laugh, Larceny. But will he accept?
We also dive into the funniest and most memorable moments from Trevin and Amanda’s real-life friendship:
– Amanda being at her absolute funniest during her first pregnancy
– Trevin feeling a baby kick
– Amanda’s karaoke strategy (and survival tactics)
A loaded question about pets leads to stories about Amanda’s collies, Reptar and Yoshi, while Trevin walks through the full timeline of his cats—Freddy, Boots, and Harvey—including a moment where Boots’ curiosity almost lived up to the phrase “killed the cat.”
Plus:
Who would play the hosts in a Hollywood adaptation of Live, Laugh, Larceny?
What do we actually hope listeners get from the show, beyond entertainment?
Are there petty crimes we’ll never admit to on the podcast?
Trevin shares a personal story that could someday become a trilogy, and we close with an honest conversation about how we’re all coping during… whatever this era is.
Let’s celebrate humanity and answer questions from the pettiest crew around.
