Live, Laugh, Larceny

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.

If 2025 was double the disaster, we’re here to remember it with double the fun!

Part 2 of the pettiest award show around is packed with more dilemmas, more laughs, and the final categories celebrating the best (and worst) of 2025.

Trevin faces an ergonomic nightmare when his gel wrist cushion for his mouse starts leaking—a truly sticky situation. Amanda has a stinky dilemma of her own when her dog Yoshi misses the mark… and lands it directly on her children’s favorite stuffed narwhal.

Then, it’s time for the last round of the 2025 Petties Awards: WTF Crime, Best Episode Title, Best Character, Parenting Dilemma, and the infamous Best Florida February Criminal.

Finally, we revisit Amanda’s favorite story of 2025 and dive into why it earned the top spot. Celebrate the chaos, the crimes, and the hilarity one last time before we officially close the chapter on 2025.

It’s a new year, which means it’s time to emotionally process one of the worst years of our lives… by celebrating the best crimes of 2025.

Before the awards begin, Trevin and Amanda ease back into things with fresh dilemmas after not seeing each other for a while. Trevin recounts a Christmas mishap involving his new rescue pup, Sammy—starting with her epic glow-up since adoption and ending with a Christmas morning escape that sparks a long, stressful search. Amanda shares her own holiday chaos, when the infamous 2025 Christmas sickness wiped out her entire family and turned their break into an extended quarantine.

Then it’s time for the first five categories of the 2025 Petties Awards. Who delivered the most dreadful dilemma of the year? What were each host’s most killer facts? Trevin pulls back the curtain on how he produces the show, including a behind-the-scenes look at the first major audio mistake in nearly five years of Live, Laugh, Larceny. Plus, the award for Best Naked Criminal leads to an unsettling realization: was 2025… the least sexy year on record?

To close things out, Trevin revisits his favorite story of 2025, listening back with Amanda and breaking down why it stuck with him. Was it the man who faked his own death? Zin Zhang and the infamous cold chicken? Or the Florida boy who called the cops to ask why they hadn’t found him yet?

Tune in for Part 1 of the 2025 Petties, then come back next week for the remaining categories and Amanda’s favorite story of the year. Bring on the Petties—because 2026 already has plenty of criminals waiting in the wings.

The crew is here—and they brought friends. This week, Amanda and Trevin are joined by Em Schulz and Christine Schiefer, the hosts of the hit paranormal and true crime comedy podcast And That’s Why We Drink, for an all-star crossover episode full of petty crimes, questionable decisions, and maybe a ghost or two.

Things kick off with an All-Star Dilemmas segment. Trevin recounts a run-in with an angry bald man in Kansas City traffic—and the deeply petty revenge that followed. Amanda’s past comes back to haunt her when her daughter rescues a pair of heart-shaped nipple pasties from the trash and proudly adds them to a wall mural. Christine becomes convinced Amanda’s daughter Lyla may secretly be BANKSY.

Em and Christine bring their own dilemmas to the table. Em faces the ultimate horror: a cruise with their mom and husband… all while sharing a room. Christine opens up about a therapist-recommended book, The Untethered Soul, and how, with the help of an edible, she finally met her inner voice—only to discover it is extremely annoying.

Then, the crew debuts an original game created just for ATWWD: Petty or Paranormal. Em and Christine must decide whether a series of increasingly bizarre scenarios were caused by supernatural forces or extremely petty criminals. Topics include Mike Myers on a beach, dirty-talking ghosts, a grudge held beyond the grave, warnings from a time traveler, and attempting to marry a ghost in international waters.

To close things out, Em confesses to a petty past involving urban exploring (or, as police might call it, breaking and entering). Christine attempts to incriminate Em through shared memories—only to accidentally point the finger back at herself—before telling an original story.

Finally, Christine shares her own personal petty crime tale: The Coat Room Caper. In this kindergarten-era revenge story, a young Christine targets her classmates—especially one taller, more popular girl—proving that a life of petty crime can begin with something as simple as misplaced backpacks.

Come hang out with us and our friends.Get petty or paranormal. Either way, you’ll leave haunted.

’Tis the season—and things are about to get decked.

In this Christmas special episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny, Trevin witnesses capitalism for kids firsthand while volunteering with Junior Achievement BizTown, the company shaping young business minds. Even a Playskool-level version of the American economy somehow manages to be bleak.

Meanwhile, Amanda gives her legs their first winter shave… with a weed whacker, and the crew dives into listener dilemmas. From a long-awaited “paint your spouse” anniversary date (with video evidence), to rude coworkers and seasonal body pains, it’s the season of giving—and we’re giving you a platform to complain.

The crew also brings back the Naughty List, each revealing their personal picks for 2025. High cholesterol, vet offices, sausage patties, and the government all make appearances. Hear who made the list—and why they’re so naughty.

For stories, Trevin takes us to Hanes Mall in North Carolina, where Elsie Brooks, Selma Brooks, and Christina MacDonald just want to take their kids to see Santa. But a strict elf, Shannon Athena Watkins, has rules—and she expects them to be followed. Will this end in a Christmas miracle… or simple assault?

Amanda follows with the long, storied life of Carol Christensen, a retired circus performer and stunt woman turned spreader of joy. With her biggest events behind her, she discovers that withholding joy from a police officer can still earn you a ride to the station.
