Episode 8 -- Bikini Troubles So we find ourselves again Mattless. What is it with security professionals and Hawaii? Good stuff in here, sorry about botching last week's episode link - this one should work better, also, go back and download last weeks. Notes etc. to [email protected] -- we love to hear from you! DISCLAIMER: It's not that explicit, but you may want to use headphones if you're at work.
