The beginning of a new podcast; 2 KRAMERS (formerly We Were Had)Max and Chris introduce themselves, the origin of the pod, and immediately veer off course.

From Heath Ledger's famously ill-fated but incredible turn to Jared Leto's weirdly method attempt at a one up, what is it about the Joker that affects the actors that play him?

Of course, we're talking about this generation's Chernobyl - the recent bitter feud betwixt Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber.

In 2013 some hermit guy who didn't talk to anyone for 30 years and lived under a tarp in the woods of Maine, got arrested for stealing snacks from a camp for kids with disabilities. But that's not all he took...he burgled our hearts and somehow stood up to "the man" by not paying for anything. Will the gang survive in the woods?

It's well documented that reggae legend, Rastafarian icon, and agent of peace, Bob Marley, was the subject of a failed assassination attempt in December, 1976. But who ordered the hit?

The big question of this episode is are we doing Son of Sam? And that does get settled. But also, did serial killer David Berkowitz work alone during his murder spree? Using a .44 Special caliber Bulldog revolver, he killed six people and wounded seven others by July 1977, terrorizing New Yorkers and gaining worldwide notoriety. Berkowitz eluded the biggest police manhunt in the city's history while leaving letters that mocked the police and promised further crimes, which were highly publicized by the press. He confessed to all of them, and initially claimed to have been obeying the orders of a demon manifested in the form of a dog belonging to his neighbor "Sam". Was a satanic cult involved?

Let's take a trip to what some consider the evilest place on earth, Dudleytown, CT. This small abandoned village nestled between mountains is creepy and off putting even before you learn about all the cursed stuff that happened there. Legend says that an ancestral Dudley made a shady play for the throne of England in the 16th century and everything went downhill from there. It would appear the curse that was put upon the Dudley family followed them to the New World, because Dudleytown was beleaguered by accidental deaths, insanity, demonic activity and more before being completely deserted. Was the curse real, could it have been an extremely unfortunate string of bad luck, or was Dudleytown merely resting on a nexus of evil? Tune in and find out if We Were Had!

Terri Lee Hoffman was an American religious cult leader known for the unexplained deaths of some of her followers, including two husbands, shortly after they had willed their possessions to her. The devotees in her Dallas-based new religious movement, Conscious Development of Body, Mind and Soul, fought against the "black lords" on various planes of existence and protected themselves with powerful gems. Her rise to power was defined by a bunch of tall tales like her claims to possess literal superpowers without backing any of it up. Eventually, the feds got her on the old Al Capone charge.

You'd think being $2 billion over budget would be the most controversial bullet point in the story of a travel hub and yet the Denver International Airport has been plagued by conspiracy theories since its conception. Stories of hidden messages from the illuminati, underground tunnels & doomsday bunkers beneath the sprawling structure, and even apocalyptic predictions have followed DEN for years.

The Guidestones have been the subject of controversy since their erection in 1979 by an anonymous individual known only as R.C. Christian. Known to some as the American Stonehenge because of their striking resemblance to England's famous monument, the Georgia Guidestones were a granite monument that served as a celestial clock of sorts, recording the passage of time through special features. Mysterious inscriptions on the monument seemed to speak to the conservation of humanity, but their exact intent was unclear. In July 2022, unknown assailants blew the thing up, which probably had something to do with congresspeople referring to it as The Ten Commandments of the Antichrist. Was it a helpful, innocent map for a bright future or did the mysterious benefactors have something more sinister in mind? Tune in and find out if We Were Had!

The mysterious legend of the green children of Woolpit starts during the reign of King Stephen, in a rather tumultuous time in England's history called ‘The Anarchy‘ in the mid 12th century. In this town named after a wolf pit in around 1150, a group of villagers came across two young children with green skin, apparently speaking gibberish and acting nervously. The children were taken to the nearby home of Sir Richard de Calne. Did they come from an otherworldly land of green people or was it something more explainable?

There are many reasons why football matches have stopped over the years, but this one might be the wildest. In 1954, Ten-thousand fans were watching in the concrete bowl of the Stadio Artemi Franchi. Suddenly everyone, even the players, were transfixed on cigar shaped aircrafts in the sky raining down silver, glittery material. To this day, witnesses swear it was certainly an extraterrestrial entity. Backing up their argument, UFOs were reportedly seen all across the surrounding areas of Florence and Tuscany.

In July 1518, residents of the city of Strasbourg were struck by a sudden and seemingly uncontrollable urge to dance. The hysteria kicked off when a woman known as Frau Troffea stepped into the street and began to silently twist, twirl and shake. By August, the dancing epidemic had claimed as many as 400 victims. In a surprise twist, the town government thought it was a good idea to fight the disease by building a stage and bringing in professional dancers. With many of the afflicted passing out and even dying, the big mystery is what the fvck caused it. The leading guess at the time was "hot blood" and today we really don't have much else to go off of.

Kurt Cobain was heralded as a spokesman of Generation X and is considered one of the most influential musicians in the history of alternative rock. His band, NIrvana, found global success defining a genre of music known as grunge. During the last years of his life, Cobain struggled with heroin addiction, depression, and a tumultuous relationship with his wife, Courtney Love. Famously a member of the tragic "27 Club," on April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle at the age of 27. While police ruled it as a suicide, there have long been many conspiracies about what really happened and why. According to a spokesperson for the Seattle Police Department, the department receives at least one weekly request to reopen the investigation. Tune in and find out if We Were Had!
