HAPPY MAXFUNDRIVE! To kick off this most wonderful and momentous time of year, we're diving into the wonderfully innocent world of Archie comics. They were Sydnee's favorite for forever, and now they've been mutated into Riverdale...what's going on with all that?Music: "Baby You Change Your Mind" by Nouvellas

Happy #MaxFunDrive! For our second episode of the week, Hal, Danielle and Lindsey are joined by Matthew Gaydos. He’s the host of the "I Love It" podcast. One thing that he loves is wrestling. Growing up his family was not very well off, financially; but they still managed to watch a number of wrestling PPV’s (he’s not sure if those two facts are at all related). The panel will get into everything from the week in wrestling. That includes the highs like Kofi Kingston finally getting his WWE Title against Daniel Bryan; and the confirmation that Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch will be the closing match at WrestleMania! Unfortunately, it also means looking at the worst things that happened this week. Like Asuka losing her Smackdown Women’s title to Charlotte. Does that inherently devalue the title? Or does having both brand’s championships in the main event help raise the stakes? This show is dedicated to our Max Fun Members!
