Original Episode Description

Feeling lucky? This week, we’re riding a wave of good fortune—whether we planned it or not.

Trevin shares a nightmare laundry dilemma involving a cat puke-covered blanket and a rebellious washing machine, while Amanda recounts a trampoline park teen brawl that put her mom instincts to the test. Can she break it up before it turns into a full-blown WWE match?

In Trivia, Amanda asks which bizarre item was once considered a symbol of good luck—urine wreaths, penis wind chimes, or battle-worn underwear. Meanwhile, Trevin digs into an odd lottery winner disguise, uncovering which famous mask someone once used to claim their jackpot.

For storytime, Amanda takes us to Boulder, Colorado, where a St. Patrick’s Day-style mystery unfolds at a King Soopers grocery store. Did shoppers witness a real-life leprechaun, or was something else at play?

Trevin explores luck from a different angle with a wild crime from Toulouse, France, where a stolen credit card, a scratcher ticket, and a shocking jackpot lead to an unexpected deal.

From bizarre traditions and unexpected luck to mystical mischief and high-stakes crime, this episode is packed with stories that prove luck—good or bad—can strike when you least expect it. So grab a lucky charm (or a lottery ticket) and join us for an episode where fate takes the wheel!
