About this episode
CrimeLess is a weekly comedy talk show exploring the wild crime questions you’d never act on—but secretly want answered. Comedian Rory Scovel and journalist–turned–true-crime podcaster Josh Dean break down a new outrageous caper each episode, from bold heists and absurd scams to crypto disasters and monkey-driven chaos. Their deep dives into the strange details and eccentric criminals spark hilarious, totally hypothetical brainstorms about how things could have gone even more off the rails.
You’ll learn just enough weird facts to sound interesting at a party. Picture How Stuff Works after a few drinks, or You’re Wrong About—but focused entirely on Florida-Man-level mayhem.

Hey there smart list fans and listeners, it's me, comedian actor wizard, Rory Scoval and I'm busting into your ears right now to tell you about a new podcast that I hope you'll check out. It's called Crimeless. Every week, journalist Josh Dean and myself dive into a new story from the stupider side of the true crime world. Here is our trailer, and if it sounds like something you'd like, just search for and follow Crimeless wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever listened to crime shows and found yourself with more questions than answers? And what is this? That's not a story we all know. What's this? Where is that? Why is it wet? Then boy, do we have a podcast for you? Is it a crime to cut someone's hair without their permission? And what if that person is a cat? Is it even safe to snort human remains? What is the dumbest way to steal a quarter million dollars? Who catfishes a city? Is this even a crime? Honestly, it feels more like a high level prank than a crime.
Introducing Crimeless, a new show from the law abiding geniuses. It's smart list media, campside media and big money players. Join me, Rory Scoval, comedian and actor, and me, Josh Dean, investigative journalist. On our new weekly podcast, it celebrates the amazing creativity of the world's dumbest criminals. It has everything you could ever want in a show, promiscuous primates. There are thousands of angry, horny monkeys, advice from the great beyond. I've realized you can't just out loud before the tarot card reading just go, will I ever have a threesome? We should ask a deeper question, I think, right? Oh, I'm sorry, Josh. Is the, am I going to have a threesome, not a deep question for you? Incredible voice acting. These guys were doing stuff that you can't even imagine with refrigerators. Well, these cats have such a different struggle. And of course, plenty of stupid crime. If you can fake your own death and still live in the same town, and all you do is change your name, you are either an incredible actor or you live in the dumbest town.
I've got to assume there are some obvious, textural and color differences between human ashes and cocaine. I got to say outside of the double murder, kind of a fun guy. It was an attempted double murder, to be fair, plus game segments. I can't believe it's the hardest trivia game on the poop episode. Every week, a new crime that asks the question, wait, what turns on this show, folks? You cannot guess where Josh is going to take us. You don't. That's why they tune in, Roy. It's the mystery of it all. Coming soon, from smartless media, campsite media, and big money players. We have great wooded. If at the end of season one, you turned it into a master criminal. That's how the season should end. You and I should have to pull off a crime. Open your Free Eye Heart Radio app, search crime list, and listen now.
