Get ready to rumble because this week on HOW DID WE GET WEIRD? we are joined by hilarious comedian, writer and actor Max Silvestri! What's in a name? Apparently a lot. Jonah discusses how he was almost named Max and why he thinks he would have been a completely different and more confident person if he had Max's moniker. Max also discusses his various adolescent aliases while Vanessa reveals that she was almost named after a Bob Dylan song. The three of us also discuss the allure of eighties action movies and, of course, WWF Wrestling. Max elaborates on what it was like to witness Wrestlemania 10, why he related to Shawn Michaels and Bret "The Hitman'' Hart and recounts how the WWF eventually got body slammed by that cute panda from the World Wildlife Fund. As if that weren't enough, we also play a round of CHANGE.DORK where we discuss Randy "Macho Man" Savage's legacy, if the return of Diet Cherry Coke is worth our precious digital ink and should there be an actual videogame modeled after The Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1999 video for "Californication"? You'll have to listen to find out!!
