* M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor), Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) and Matt Jennings (Twitter @MattRJennings) of Soft Magazine battle internet hackers and other saboteurs while Joey Zuver enjoys another fine lunch.* THE STRAIGHT DOPE:  Before superstar photographer and storyteller Mandi Wright joins the boys, ML explains why his hair smells so much like tear gas that it isn’t just the angels who weep when exposed to his now reeking mullet.
