Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast

This Halloween, everyone’s worst nightmare arrives early—and it’s not a ghost or ghoul. Like an overzealous holiday guest, Christmas is creeping into October, hijacking spooky season without a care for Halloween traditions.
In this week’s episode, Amanda sets the stage with a hilarious rant on premature Christmas decor invading superstores and threatening our beloved Halloween vibes. Meanwhile, Trevin gives us an update on his ongoing battle with a body-focused repetitive behavior, offering insights as sharp as a haunted fingernail.
The “Would You Rather” segment dives into delightfully twisted territory: Trevin’s question has listeners calling people “Daddy” and throwing in a pelvic thrust, while Amanda contemplates whether you’d rather wipe your memories or live the same day on repeat.
For story time, Trevin spins a tale of a “spooky bitch” who just wants a fun Halloween but finds his night marred by fear-mongering courtesy of Fox News. Amanda follows with the saga of a mischievous couple whose Halloween decor goes from festive to frightful, crossing the line into pure pettiness. Both stories bring back the fan-favorite “Pumpkin Everything” song and include an unexpected dash of Christmas spirit.
Halloween purists, brace yourselves: it’s time to tell Christmas, “Get back to December, where you belong!”
