EP 183: When Squirrels Collide

Get ready to go nuts because this week, squirrels are stealing the spotlight in the quirkiest ways possible.<br /> <br />Trevin kicks things off with a hilarious recap of a public speaking phenomenon he experienced on stage, struggling to stay in the moment as his mind wandered. Meanwhile, Amanda finds herself tangled in another trampoline-related incident, this time under a nostalgic black light at a children’s party.<br /> <br />In <i>Two Truths and a Lie</i>, Amanda challenges Trevin with winter-themed trivia, featuring snowfall, snowflakes, and record-breaking temperatures. Trevin ups the stakes with a round of insurance-related truths that might just have you reconsidering your own policies.<br /> <br />Story Time delivers a double dose of absurdity. Amanda shares a listener story from Tawny, involving car break-ins, monks, and a surprising twist with Christian music. Trevin’s tale takes us into the wild world of animal antics, unveiling a chaotic scene of supposed bear attacks across San Bernardino. But the twist? It’s not what you think—and it’ll blow your mind.<br /> <br />Don’t miss this laugh-out-loud episode packed with nostalgia, animal mischief, and petty crime at its finest! <br /><br />Today's Stories:<br /> <br />Bad Acts and Worse Music<br /> <br />A Bear of an Insurance Claim<br /> <br />(Discussions Include: Stage Fright, Public Speaking, Massachusetts, Live Show, 2000s Hits, Katy Perry, Winter, Cold Weather, Extreme Weather, Tamarack, California, For Keogh, Montana, Bear Costume Arrest, Insurance Scam, Animals, Immaculate Conception, Virgin Birth, War Exclusion, Donelan Andrews, Worship Music, Auto Burglary, Petty Theft, CD Collection, Monks, Ducks, Dad Rock, Classic Rock, Luxury Car, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, Auto Damage, Ruben Tamrazian, Ararat Chirkinian, Vahe Muradkhanyan, Alfiya Zuckerman)<br /> <br />Join our Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/livelaughlarcenydoomedcrew" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/livelaughlarcenydoomedcrew</a><br /> <br />For ad-free episodes and lots of other bonus content, join our Patreon! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/LiveLaughLarceny" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/LiveLaughLarceny</a> <br /> <br />Check out our website: <a href="https://www.livelaughlarceny.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a><br />Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/livelaughlarcenypodcast/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a><br />Follow us on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LiveLaughLarcenyPodcast/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a><br />Follow us on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@livelaughlarceny" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a><br />Follow us on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/livelaughlarcen" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a> <br /> <br />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!

EP 182: The Most Thankless Giving

Mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and… zero gratitude? Mom didn’t spend a week prepping this feast for you to forget your manners! <br /><br />In this special Thanksgiving episode, Trevin kicks things off by sharing his cozy "Winter 69" dilemma—because it feels better when it’s going down. Meanwhile, Amanda gets hilariously personal, recounting a post-partum lactation struggle that every mom can relate to (and laugh at). Do we smell a Pumping-Girl sequel?<br /> <br />In <b>Thanksgiving Trivia</b>, Trevin dishes up a historical throwback to when a president pardoned more than just turkeys, while Amanda challenges everyone with the ultimate cranberry question: just how many berries make up a single can?<br /> <br />For <b>Story Time</b>, Trevin dives into the record-setting antics of Henry Earl, a man who finds a chosen family in the unlikeliest places, all while breaking the law. Amanda follows with the chaotic tale of Elizabeth Macias, a determined mom on a Black Friday mission to snag Xbox games and survive her kids’ antics. Both stories come together to remind us of one thing: being a mom on the holidays is no small feat, especially when kids are downright <i>thankless.</i><br /> <br />Tune in for heartwarming laughs, jaw-dropping petty crimes, and a little holiday chaos as we celebrate the most "Thankless Giving" of all. <br /><br />Today's Stories:<br /> <br />Those We Invite to Our Table<br /> <br />Black Friday and a Mom on a Mission<br /> <br />(Discussions Include: Winter Weather, Cold, Mom Problems, Parenting, TMI, Mothering Advice, Milk, Breastfeeding, Rebecca the Raccoon, Billy Possum, Calvin Coolidge, White House pet, Cranberry Sauce, Ocean Spray, Wikipedia, Thanksgiving Dinner, Community, Chosen Family, Bigot Bob, Bad Children, Disrespectful, Dinner Conversation, Lexington, Kentucky, Weird Uncle, Fayette County Detention Center, James Brown, Pepper Spray, Las Angeles, California, Wal-mart, Walmart, Shopping, Door Busters, Xbox 360, Shopping Chaos)<br /> <br />Join our Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/livelaughlarcenydoomedcrew" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/livelaughlarcenydoomedcrew</a> <br /><br />For ad-free episodes and lots of other bonus content, join our Patreon! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/LiveLaughLarceny" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/LiveLaughLarceny</a> <br /> <br />Check out our website: <a href="https://www.livelaughlarceny.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a><br />Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/livelaughlarcenypodcast/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a><br />Follow us on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LiveLaughLarcenyPodcast/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a><br />Follow us on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@livelaughlarceny" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a><br />Follow us on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/livelaughlarcen" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Here</a> <br /> <br />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!

The crowd is in an uproar, and the air is thick with boogies—this week, <i>crime comes squelching</i>!<br /> <br />Trevin feels a bit sheepish about the post-election special but brings one more political twist to the table as a previous petty criminal throws their hat into the political ring. Meanwhile, Amanda—rocking her new "sick voice"—has been rewatching <i>Stranger Things</i> with subtitles, only to discover some words that make her skin crawl.<br /> <br />In a twist on the Two Truths and a Lie segment, Amanda dives into the world of bizarre allergies, challenging Trevin to sniff out the fake one. Not to be outdone, Trevin reveals his ulterior motives with an NFL-themed round, hoping it might superstitiously boost his fantasy football luck.<br /> <b></b><br /><b>Story Time:</b><br />Amanda shares the messy misdeeds of 21-year-old Brianna Reyes, whose sickness spirals into a surprising arrest. Trevin keeps the NFL theme alive with the story of Marsha Kearney, mother to a football superstar, and the unexpected challenges that come with a life tied to fame.<br /><br />Grab your tissues—this episode is dripping with nose slimes and petty crimes!<br /> <br />Today's Stories: <br /><br />D.W.A.
