Today comedian Hunter Collins hires us to solve who was behind the Max Headroom signal intrusion.

In the 80s, there was a guy on TV named Max Headroom. Also in the 80s, someone hacked the television airways in Chicago and took it over wearing a Max Headroom mask and said some weird shit.

Hunter just needed to know what happened before the end.

The boys solve it no problem. RIP Hunter.
