Erica and Billy did a Patreon episode last week that a listener had requested, talking about the current state of the world during the Covid-19 pandemic. (Of course the information was "current" as of last week.) They discussed both local and global issues, the virus and what it does to your body, symptoms to be aware of, and how to decrease your chances of contracting it. After it was released, Erica dwelled on the fact that it is information that ALL listeners should have access to, not just those that donate. So, here it is. Please do not take anything that is said as scientific or medical facts or medical advice. Most information can easily be found online (links below): https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html https://www.nytimes.com/article/coronavirus-body-symptoms.html Please get informed, stay home when at all possible, and stay safe, Snugglebunnies! And Patrons-Erica and Billy will make this up to you. Hope you understand. They are blowing you kisses from over 6 ft. away. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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? You'd probably say, "I bet that's what this episode is about." And you'd be right. **The show artwork was created by Chris Axmann.

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 self-written 'bible' published. And especially since the case has never been solved. And Billy got a new job. Good times. **The show artwork was created by Chris Axmann. (Hee hee...no pun intended.) Thank you, Chris! **A HUGE thank you to MinimusNoah for the music at the end of each episode.

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.

Happy Podversary, Snugglebunnies! Erica and Billy decided to celebrate the anniversary of Martinis and the Macabre (and New Year's) by hitting your ear holes with the most horrific case of torture and murder. (Well, Billy had no part in the decision and was totally against it, but the show must go on.) It is a case so utterly horrible that Erica and Billy thought it would never be covered on the show. But over the past three years of podcasting, several listeners have suggested this case and some other exceptionally horrific cases. Erica decided to accept the challenge and hit the ground running as the show enters its fourth season. Listeners may be lost and there may be some really bad reviews on Itunes, but Erica and Billy say, "Bring it!" **The show artwork was created by Chris Axmann.

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 jokes, this episode may just be the best thing to ever enter your earballs! Or the worst. The jury is still out. **The show artwork was created by Chris Axmann.
