Show notes

In episode 48 of World's Dumbest Criminals you'll be hearing a corker of a police interview with a drunk Aussie larrikin who got done for a streaking, as well as the case of a vain criminal walnut on the run in England, who didn't like his mugshot, so he sent the media better pictures of himself to use instead.

INTRODUCING: Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

Hey, this is not an episode of World's Dumbest Criminals. It is however a story about dumb criminals, and I know you dig that kind of ridiculous action as much as I do - so I thought I'd share.

I recently made friends with Trevin and Amanda, who produce a great show called Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast. It's a genre-bending comedy podcast that takes a deep dive into shallow crimes.

Trevin and Amanda are also obsessed with dumb criminal stories, which they tell with their own creative twist.

They take news articles about petty criminals and turn them into short stories that play out like an atmospheric audio drama. Each story is presented over their own original music along with cheesy reenactment effects. It's like an Investigation Discovery audio documentary, but about small trivial crimes like a serial cellphone snatcher in coffee shops.

Each week, the two release an episode with weekly dreadful dilemmas, killer facts and two full length stories, covered with great detail, humour and imagination.

If you listen through all of their episodes, you may even come across some of the same cases I've covered, but they interpret them so differently it's quite fascinating to hear.

The story you're about to listen to is from their 86th episode: Fuelled By Trash Pizza. It's told from the perspective of a Florida Detective, so you know it's going to be a wild ride full or marina sauce and tears.

Please enjoy this story from Live, Laugh, Larceny: and then subscribe to their show!

Lake Worth Cookie Monster Nov 27, 2022

Show notes

Episode 46 of World's Dumbest Criminals is about the many trials and few tribulations of a young woman the media nicknamed Cookie Monster. She became infamous in her teens when she and a mate robbed a 9 year old Girl Scout outside a Winn-Dixie supermarket in Lake Worth, Florida. Cookie Monster went on to commit a lot more dumb crimes and claimed any punishment she received was unfair, even though it was always laughably light.

Too Polite To Be Guilty, An Unlikely Defence, No More Sexy Grannies Oct 16, 2022

Show notes

Episode 43 of World's Dumbest Criminals is about an American bank robber who claimed he wasn't guilty because he asked for the money politely, an Aussie with a long criminal record who assaulted a woman, abused the police and cut the roof of his sedan to make it into a convertible apparently all because he was grieving the death of his mother in law and Gambia's plan to create laws to reduce sex-upped granny tourists.
