Live, Laugh, Larceny
Amanda & Trevin
Live, Laugh, Larceny is true crime for people who think most true crime is a little too murdery.
Every Wednesday, hosts Amanda Rose and Trevin Bartee share real stories of ridiculous, low-stakes crimes — from dumb criminals and pett revenge to absurd real-life chaos — told with dramatic seriousness and comedy-first energy.
No murders. Just bad decisions.
Take a break from the heavy and get petty.

September 23 · 1 hr 3 minPETTY REWIND - When You Wish Upon a Grudge
As Trevin takes the week off to remember Mabel, we are kicking it back to this gem about revenge, vandalism, and a lot of petty fun. Be back next week with a new story! Blow out those birthday candles, pluck an eyelash, and toss a coin into the fountain. We're wishing for some sweet, petty revenge! This week on Live, Laugh, Larceny, Trevin mourns the loss of his smartwatch, a device he painstakingly trained himself to use, while Amanda confronts a husband whose odor may qualify as a public health emergency. We explore the strangest hotel requests of the year, from bathtubs filled with Evian water to caviar hotdogs, and take a look at the world's most dangerous tightrope walks, featuring Karl Wallenda, Nik Wallenda, the Grand Canyon, and a volcano. For the stories, Amanda presents another one of her Amanda's Unsolved Mysteries, investigating the bizarre history of the Boy with the Leaking Boot in Wallingford, Vermont, where years of vandalism and property damage leave a town wondering what exactly is going on. Then Trevin heads to Chongqing, China, for the story of a woman who turned a Louis Vuitton shopping trip into an elaborate act of revenge. After feeling slighted by store employees, she paid for a luxury handbag entirely in cash, forcing the staff to count her money for two hours before changing her mind. It's Pretty Woman meets pettiness in Petty Woman. Two stories. Zero arrests. Absolutely no shortage of drama. Today's Stories: Boy with the Leaking Boot Petty Woman Topics include: smartwatch etiquette, warranty returns, industrial water waste, washing in coffee grounds, bad smells, Hotels.com, unusual hotel requests, Evian water, bananas, caviar hotdogs, Karl Wallenda, Nik Wallenda, dangerous tightrope walks, the Grand Canyon, volcanoes, Wallingford Vermont, vandalism, making wishes, Louis Vuitton, Chongqing China, Starlight Place Shopping Centre, Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts, Rodeo Drive, Gucci, luxury shopping, and petty revenge.

September 9 · 1 hr 16 minPETTY REWIND - Listener Stories Vol. 2
It's Labor Day week and we are rewinding it back to our second listener stories episode: EP 159: Now That's What I Call Listener Stories Vol. 2 Ring the bell and tell your friends. We’ve got another ALL-LISTENER-STORIES episode! And since we’re taking a trip back through the Live, Laugh, Larceny archives, we’re bringing back one of our favorite collections of bizarre true crime stories, petty crimes, ridiculous criminals, and listener-submitted crimes. But before we hear from our awesome listeners, we gotta do the show stuff. This week, Trevin encounters a cursed Chipotle salad that he leaves sitting on his desk for an entire weekend, while Amanda discovers that bringing Jell-O to a kid’s birthday party does NOT mean people are getting Jell-O shots. Top 5 takes a closer look at the polygraph and lie detector test, including its bizarre history and some of the earliest attempts at figuring out whether someone was lying. Then Trevin counts down five of the most common—and most ridiculous—causes of selfie-related deaths, from guns and electrocution to driving, drowning, and falling. Then, we get to the main event: three petty, bizarre, and completely listener-submitted stories. Amanda tells the story of a disgruntled bakery employee who destroys cakes before quitting, including one cake that just happens to have been ordered by one of our own listeners. Trevin investigates the mystery of a person who wiped their butt on a towel at a party, giving one listener the chance to play detective and figure out who committed the truly shitty crime. And, of course, we’ve got another round of funny true crime, petty criminals, strange crimes, and the weirdest stories our listeners could dig up.

August 26 · 46 minEP 253: Amanda Discovers Scat
Things have been busy in the Live, Laugh, Larceny world, so this week we're taking a break from traditional petty crime for a day of bizarre Animals in the News. First, Trevin has a dog dilemma after his freshly groomed pups reveal their freshly groomed butts—and somehow, the sight is so adorable it brings him to tears. Amanda takes her daughters to see the newest Paw Patrol movie, only to discover that a broken theater AC can make a children's movie feel like a survival challenge. Then it's time for Animals in the News: no sound effects, no elaborate reenactments—just bizarre headlines about animals getting into trouble, causing chaos, and occasionally committing what can only be described as petty crimes. A black bear breaks into a shopping mall on a military base in Alaska, steals some fruit, and leaves behind a very memorable calling card. Another bear discovers an unexpected interest in golf clubs in British Columbia. A dog in Scotland needs rescuing after consuming marijuana while hiking near Ben Nevis, while an Australian beagle eats 11 kilograms of gummy snakes. A tourist in Hawaii faces consequences after allegedly throwing a rock at a monk seal, while therapy ferrets are deployed at one of the UK's largest children's prisons to help deal with a rat problem. And in Arizona, bright-blue pigeons used for a gender reveal spark concerns from wildlife officials. It's animals, crime, weird headlines, and a whole lot of scat.

August 12 · 1 hr 5 minEP 251: On the Last Leg of Ladies’ Night
It’s Ladies’ Night, and the women are taking over—with bizarre misunderstandings, strange crimes, and a little vigilante justice. This week, Trevin finally asks his doctor about a problem he’s had for twenty years and walks away with the most metal injury imaginable: calcified scar tissue. Amanda’s fish tank continues to multiply, as separating the boys too late leaves her with an entire school of baby fish. For Two Truths and a Lie, Amanda takes Trevin on a nostalgic trip through Are You Afraid of the Dark?, giving him three episode summaries and asking him to identify the completely fabricated nightmare. Trevin fights back with bizarre facts about children’s music, including Yo Gabba Gabba, The Wiggles, and a very unexpected metal band of dinosaurs. Because apparently children’s entertainment has always been a little weird. For storytime, Amanda takes us to Otisville, New York, where Danielle Rodriguez and her mother encounter a bizarre traffic stop involving suspicious legs in a car, a possible kidnapping, and a hilarious misunderstanding that gets caught on a Ring camera. Then Trevin takes us all the way to Christchurch, New Zealand, where three women living abroad—Sarah Campbell, Anna Campbell, and Charlotte Walker—return home to discover they've been victims of a burglary. With passports, electronics, jewelry, medication, clothing, and other belongings stolen, the women aren't exactly thrilled with the police response. When they spot a mysterious shopping cart and begin tracking down their stolen property themselves, Ladies’ Night turns into a real-life hunt for the burglars. Two stories, two very different misunderstandings, and plenty of women proving that sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands. Take a break from the heavy and get petty!

Hey, everyone! Amanda and I had some scheduling issues and I decided to give myself a mental health week. We will be back with you next week with new stories! Thank you for your support! Things escalate quickly in this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny—from elevator disasters and animal facts to insurance fraud, public pooping, and one of the most disturbing petty crime stories we've ever covered. Trevin shows off his new Puma sneakers inspired by the Sony Walkman, proving once again that he'll buy just about anything with a nostalgic gimmick. Amanda vents about her parents disappearing for 24 hours while on an Alaskan cruise, leading to a discussion about family communication and vacation etiquette. Then Amanda challenges Trevin with Two Truths and a Lie featuring deadly elevator statistics, the record-breaking elevators inside Shanghai Tower, and the surprising origins of classic elevator music. Trevin follows with bizarre animal facts about George the heroic Jack Russell Terrier, how raccoons unexpectedly spread through Europe, and whether salmon can actually hear. For Storytime, Amanda heads to Fort Pierce, Florida, where 49-year-old Patricia Ann Jamison attempts to avoid an outstanding warrant by pooping inside the St. Lucie County Courthouse elevator during a one-story ride. Then Trevin delivers one of the podcast's most graphic stories (listener discretion advised) about a Willow Springs, Missouri man who carried out a horrifying insurance fraud scheme involving a Brush Hog and the amputation of his own feet. If you enjoy Florida Woman stories, weird true crime, insurance scams, bizarre news, dark comedy, ridiculous criminals, and petty crime podcasts, this episode takes things to another level. Discussions include: Sony Walkman, Puma, novelty collectibles, shoes, online shopping, returning packages, the post office, mail anxiety, Alaskan cruises, parents on vacation, family communication, elevators, elevator deaths, Shanghai Tower, Muzak, Two Truths and a Lie, George the Jack Russell Terrier, raccoons in Europe, salmon, animal facts, Patricia Ann Jamison, Fort Pierce, Florida, St. Lucie County Courthouse, outstanding warrants, public defecation, Florida Woman, insurance fraud, Brush Hog, Willow Springs, Missouri, farming accidents, noir detective stories, dismemberment, and Fueled by Trash Pizza.

July 1 · 1 hr 18 minEP 246: One-Star Sentencing (Feat. Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet)
It's a podcast crossover years in the making. This week, Xandy and Christine Schiefer of the hit comedy podcast Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet join Trevin and Amanda for a game that combines bad reviews, petty crime, business owner meltdowns, and dramatic readings. Before the chaos begins, Trevin shares an update on getting his first tattoo—a memorial piece honoring his dog Mabel—and discovers that the anticipation was far scarier than the tattoo itself. Amanda gives a full update on the ever-growing drama inside her fish tank, complete with fish throuples, surprise babies, and fish named after soda. Xandy brings a Dreadful Dilemma involving a peaceful coffee shop visit ruined by an unexpected blast of Christian rock music, while Christine shares the painful reality of developing a bunion and suddenly understanding every foot-related complaint she's ever ignored. Then it's time for One-Star Sentencing, a game inspired by the world of Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet, where real customer reviews collide with truly unhinged business owner reactions. Together, the crew dives into bizarre stories involving: A Virginia restaurant manager who showed up at a customer's house after a Yelp review A tech founder who remotely disabled a customer's smart garage door opener over a bad Amazon review An Alabama ice cream shop owner arrested after confronting a reviewer A Barcelona restaurant fined for publicly posting reviewers' personal information A Florida diner dispute that escalated into a criminal investigation A German ballet director who became international news after retaliating against a critic with dog feces Featuring dramatic readings, improv, bad reviews, petty revenge, internet drama, Yelp disasters, customer service horror stories, and one-star meltdowns that somehow got even worse.

We returned from CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas with something special: our live show from Caesars Palace! Join Trevin and Amanda as they welcome McKenzie Fultz (@Freedombarbie) of Dating Detectives and Aaron Habel of Generation WHY for a true crime game show featuring some of the dumbest criminals ever to grace Sin City. Together, they explore outrageous Las Vegas crimes involving gambling nuns, Red Bull-fueled burglars, viral taco thieves, a warehouse heist involving 30,000 condoms and stolen sex toys, a TikTok creator whose talent for playing dead landed him on CSI: Vegas, a man who climbed the Las Vegas Sphere, and the infamous Bellagio Bandit who somehow turned a million-dollar casino robbery into a masterclass in getting caught. Along the way, the audience gets involved, contestants battle for bragging rights, and everyone learns an important lesson: fascinating criminals aren't always masterminds. After the game, stick around for personal petty crime confessions, stories from CrimeCon attendees, and more time with our amazing guests. From casino capers and viral crimes to failed heists and unbelievably bad decisions, this is the lighter side of true crime, recorded live from CrimeCon 2026. 🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday.

June 4 · 1 hrIntergalactic House of Pancakes – Rainy Day Rabbit Holes Tells Us a Story
While Trevin and Amanda recover from CrimeCon, our friend Shea from Rainy Day Rabbit Holes stops by to tell us a tale that just might involve an alien encounter. But first, the crew shares what's chapping their asses this week. Shea's husband has terrible dishwasher etiquette and continues wasting valuable dish space. Trevin can't figure out why restaurants stopped using drive-thru speakers in favor of sending employees outside into the summer heat. And Amanda has found herself haunted by the same cheesy reality-TV soundtrack song across multiple different shows. Then, Shea welcomes us to the Summer of Saucers with one of the strangest UFO stories ever reported. In 1961, a Wisconsin plumber claimed a flying saucer landed in his driveway. The occupants didn't abduct him, probe him, or deliver a warning for humanity. They asked for water... and gave him pancakes. Was it a hoax? A hallucination? Or was Joe Simonton really standing in his driveway holding extraterrestrial breakfast food? Take a break from the heavy and get petty... and possibly intergalactic.

May 28 · 51 minAlecia Tells us a Story! Our Collab with Truly Twisted
Hey everyone! Amanda and I are setting sail for Vegas in the morning, but luckily Alecia came to tell us a story that was suggested by one of our listeners. Enjoy the story and give Alecia some love!!! The Unbelievable Story of Dawn DaLuise - EP 51 of Truly Twisted Dawn DaLuise’s story is like something straight out of a Hollywood thriller — except it actually happened. In March of 2014 this infamous skincare queen would be arrested for soliciting the murder of one of her competitor's. After years of building a prestigious reputation for herself working with celebrities all over the city, her character was called into question. As this case unraveled, we were left with more questions than answers but I imagine the truth lies somewhere in the middle of all sides to this story. So lets dive into it. This week I am joined by the incredible hosts of Live Laugh Larceny - Trevin and Amanda.
