Honest Holiday Jabbers

The Gentlemen's Rant: Shopping Disses the Idea of Purchasing Presents

John Elerick and the boys are back with their latest brutally honest confessionals entitled 'The Gentlemen's Rant: Shopping.'

Since the holidays are rolling around and stress for buying presents is at an all-time high, 'The Gentlemen's Rant: Shopping' is here to tell you why it's not worth it. While giving someone a gift is nice, Elerick and his crew think otherwise. It's not that they hate receiving something nice, they just hate the idea of standing in line with a mob full of blood thirsty consumers. The guys discuss everything from ungrateful kids who still think Santa gave them their present to pretending to like what the Mrs. gave them for Christmas.
