Live, Laugh, Larceny

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.

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.

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.

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.
