RwP: "It's a Very Pantsless Christmas" Part 1

This week on Rants Without Pants we celebrate Christmas with “A Very Pantsless Christmas”.

My plan was for this to be a lighter/fluffier special, but due to the tragedy of the shooting in Connecticut, I felt passionately about discussing the issue of mental illness pertaining to violence. I shot that segment Saturday morning, not 24 hours after the horrific incident. So I hope the heaviness of talking about this isn’t too jarring when I discuss the other subjects.

Also, in the spirit of the season, my conservative friend BJ and myself, a commie liberal, made a top ten list of political ideas/ideals that we agree on. It’s done in Letterman style!

I also discuss my Christmas album called “There is No War on Christmas”, which is free to download @ http://www.brewcity101.com/content/download-my-christmas-album-there-no-war-christmas-free-line-right-here-brewcity101 and play some songs from album throughout the video.

00:00 – 1:40 Intro/Free Download of Adam’s Christmas Album
01:40 - 8:20- The Tragic CT Shooting (with a focus on Mental Illness)
08:20 – End My Conservative Friend BJ and Myself’s Top Ten List of Political Ideas and Ideals That We Agree On.


PART TWO WILL BE POSTED IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS WHERE I WILL DISCUSS MY TOP TEN UNCONVENTIONAL CHRISTMAS MOVIES.
