ISIS isn’t was-was, it still is is

Season 3 Episode 25 – Don’t blame me for joining ISIS; blame the missus

As Phil sips on a “Lumbersexual” IPA – whatever that means – and jet-lagged Al is barely comatose (and Neil is, well, Neil) – the lads weigh in on why should NOT bring ISIS terrorists home, including those who go to a firing range on their wedding day, why legal access challenges for security intelligence and law enforcement agencies are looming, and why a jihadi impersonating a woman (hey, don’t laugh, it has happened!) should wear gloves (thanks Hardy Boys for the hint). The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the bar is open!
