Episode 84-Dicks of the Sea
If you are a faithful listener, then you can probably guess what this episode is about: Erica (Go)'s go-go juice when recording. If you're new, then enjoy listening to the tale from Scandinavian folklore about the most awesome sea creature ever believed to have lived. And rum. Lots of rum. **The...

Episode 81-Don't Shout Your Name While Assaulting IHOP Patrons
When you think of a mass shooting at a school, what do you imagine? A disgruntled male teenager that shoots up his high school is generally what we see. But what if Erica and Billy told you that there was a completely different kind of mass school shooting that happened just over 10 years ago?...

Episode 80-The Money is Buried Under the...
Erica and Billy just celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary this week. And Billy suggested the topic of deathbed confessions. A little worried or guilty conscience? Inquiring minds want to know... **The show artwork was created by Chris Axmann. Thank you, Chris! **A HUGE thank you to…

Episode 79-Hot Pocket and Vagina Candle
The 1920's in Detroit were weird, especially when a family of five was hacked to death with an ax. And especially when the father claimed to be mystical healer that received visions from deities in the middle of the night. And especially since he made an alter in his basement and had his own...
-
Episode 78-Did Y'all Hear About Abraham Lincoln?
The American Civil War is over. The President has been assassinated. And there is a boat that's, like, gonna blow up or something. And over 1,500 people are going to die. But there's obviously nothing historical about that. Right, Lincoln? **The show artwork was created by Chris Axmann. Thank…

This week's episode is the conclusion to the story of Larry Eyler, the gay sadist serial killer of the Midwest who almost didn't get caught. Erica and Billy discuss the life of Eyler, his capture and punishment, and who Billy's man-crush is--you know, the usual. Full of tangents and offensive...
-
Episode 75-The Loneliest Red String (Pt. 1)
How do you track a vicious serial killer that moves from state to state before the advent of online communication between jurisdictions and states? Well, some red string couldn't have hurt! It just wanted to help and no one listened! For shame! At least you'll learn how to exorcise a demon this...
-
Episode 74-Pardon the Mess
Nothing witty to say about this episode, except for the title. "Pardon" the mess? Like, prisoners get 'pardoned'? And riots make a mess? See what they did there? You know it's clever! Don't you roll your eyes, mister! **The show artwork was created by Chris Axmann. Thank you, Chris! **A HUGE…

Episode 73-Haunted Toilet Paper
Happy Halloween, Snugglebunnies! It's time to get spooky again and there's nothing spookier than a good, old-fashioned haunting. But Erica and Billy aren't going to take you to a haunted location or discuss a person who is haunted. They're going to talk about some of the most haunted objects in…

Episode 70-Dance Party!
Remember when Erica and Billy discussed "Squatters, Incest, and...Octopus?" last season in Episode 50 about the Hinterkaifeck murders? Well, if you haven't listened to it, go do that now and then come back. This case is very similar, except this one was "solved". Or was it? Did the man convicted…

Episode 69-Maybe He's Really Good at Hammerball
Life was a bit strange in England in the 1930's, as is this murder mystery surrounding the murder of a woman bludgeoned to death during an extremely small window of time while her husband was seemingly lured away from the home. But did the husband set up the whole scenario to give himself an…

Episode 66-I AM A MAN! (Part 1)
This week Erica and Billy have another story so crazy that they had to split it into two parts! (Sorry, guys.) They'll talk about the abuse and taunting of a young boy named Carroll, which, as you may assume, leads him down a path of dark fantasies and murder. And Erica and Billy will be the…

Episode 65-A Double Take Butthole
You read it right-a butthole so glorious that you have to take a second glance! A pristine butthole is of the highest importance when you're a cannibal in early 1900's Prussia, especially when you're "The Forgotten Cannibal". Join Erica and Billy as they give you all the gory details of what was...

Episode 61-You Have a Generic-Looking Face
This week, Erica and Billy decided to take a look at a not-so-well-known series of murders in the early 1970's, and its not what you would expect. And despite all of the controversy and brazenness involved, it all boils down to a generic sketch and the man that was certain it was him (even though...
-
Episode 60-We's Been Sick
There's not much to say. Erica and Billy and Nugget and Noah and basically everyone in town has been sick. An episode was ready to record but time and immune systems were not allowing it to happy. So, in order to give you guys publicly unreleased content, here are two Patreon episodes in one!...
-
Episode 59-The Unsubstantiated Joy of Poisoning

Episode 55-Fuhgeddaboudit!
To kick off Season 3, Erica and Billy decided to f*ck about and put out the episode a day late, cause, well, life. Anyway, this week's episode covers what starts as a very mysterious death, a la "Episode 1-The Blair Twitch Project" and "Episode 10-Fight Club?" But when a SWAT member and a former...
-
Episode 54-Thanks, Bill Murray. You Said It Wrong.
How certain are you of your memories? Did Curious George have a tail? How did the Mr. Rogers theme song go? What exactly did Forrest Gump's mama always used to say about chocolates?

-
Episode 50-Squatters, Incest, and...Octopus?
Erica found a really "neat" topic for the 50th episode of Martinis and the Macabre-a case that remains unsolved almost 100 years later. The murders were brutal, the family secrets were disturbing, and the unknown killer was just f*cking weird! Honestly, who squats in a family's attic for months,...

.Episode 49-Orb is Just Bro Spelled Backwards
What's spookier than an abandoned island where tens of thousands of people succumbed to the Bubonic Plague, thousands more lost their lives in war battles, and then some genius thought it would be a great idea to build a mental asylum on those grounds? The only thing scarier than that would be...
-
Episode 48-Death by Ecto Cooler
This week Erica and Billy discuss a witchy Canadian woman who was involved in the deaths of her husband and her female lover, but never quite made it to pro skateboarder status. She tried to have her cake and eat it too, but her execution was sloppy and she didn't stick the landing. (You may be...
