The Criminally Stupid Crimes at the Center of Crimeless

Comedian and Crimeless co-host Rory Scovel and Campside co-founder and co-host Josh Dean speak with Campside senior producer Layne Rose about just how stupid criminals can be

How do you fake your own death? Can you deploy a swarm of bees to get rid of the cops? And if so, how (theoretically) would one do that?

These questions and more are answered on Crimeless, a weekly talk show that breaks down crazy crimes and answers the questions that you’re too embarrassed, or too afraid, to ask, lest it land you on an FBI watchlist.

(Should a show this silly use the word ‘lest’ in its description? You be the judge.)

You might know Rory from TV (Physical, Based on a True Story), movies (Babylon, Old Dads) or his standup specials (Religion, Sex, and a Few Things in Between). Now you’ll hear him wonder just how stupid criminals can be.

The conversation begins with Josh acknowledging that Crimeless is quite a departure from shows he’s hosted like Hooked and White Devil, which are fairly described as dark, serious journalism.

But the common theme is true crime. And where else but Crimeless can you learn how many black widow spiders it takes to equal the weight of a rattlesnake? Or explore the finer points of monkey gangs and Amish beard shaving?

Rory wonders if he might make a more capable criminal than many of the culprits discussed on the show. And considers why the series couldn’t be called ‘Funny Murders.’

The discussion moves from the crimes listeners won’t believe were committed to the crimes Josh and Rory might commit if they crossed to the wrong side of the law.

To hear their thoughts on cults, road rage and golf, listen to Inside the Tent on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
