I know I'm messing up on the variable portion, can someone help me?

script.js 
function max(velocity, speed) {
  var randomNumber = Math.floor( Math.random() + speed + velcity); 
  if(velocity > speed) {
     return velocity;
} 
   else {
     return speed; 
}

max(1,2);

You are creating unnecessary code for outside of the scope of the challenge. You have the code right in the function, now you just need to rectify it:

function max(velocity, speed) {
  if (velocity > speed) {
    return velocity;
  } else {
    return speed;
  }
}

The second task requires you to use the alert command and pass in max function with two arguments (numbers), for example:

alert(max(5, 3));
