Summary

From criminals who called 911 on themselves to burglars caught by their own social media posts, this episode dives into the dumbest crimes and stupidest criminals of the last 25 years. We break down real cases where bad decisions, zero planning, and jaw-dropping mistakes turned “perfect crimes” into instant arrests. This true crime comedy episode explores ridiculous criminal fails, self-snitching suspects, and crimes so stupid they practically solved themselves. Pour a glass and join us as we prove that sometimes the biggest threat to criminals… is their own stupidity.
