Grandmother's Death and the Meaning of Christmas

• 27:13Tim tried to help a chicken at a restaurant where the mascot was sent to a tent outside to sit with kids.
• 27:41He didn't villainize the person who put him in the situation; there were unforeseen circumstances like heat and nasty ungrateful kids.
• 28:33Tim offered to tell parents' kids to shut their mouths if the parents wanted him to enforce discipline, but no one took him up on it.
• 28:50Society is creating soft, entitled kids with no rules because parents aren't asking Santa to enforce basic behavior.
• 29:16He provided the hat for the chicken; there are plenty of Santa renderings without hats anyway.
• 30:06Tim did Santa once at UCB East, where he performed a bit about Santa creating ISIS.
• 30:43Bobby bought him a nice Santa suit for a podcast but forgot it in his car, so Tim got a cheap felt stripper suit instead.
• 31:16Despite making kids happy, Tim wouldn't want to be in a room with that Santa guy—he could tell the guy was a scumbag who hurt people.
• 31:41His grandmother died last year after falling off a scale while checking her fluid intake for her congestive heart failure.
• 32:16It's the first Christmas without her and his grandfather, and Christmas gets really shitty when you don't have family or lose people you love.
• 32:55People cling to Christmas memories and repeat traditions every year, but if you don't have family anymore, the holiday feels empty.
• 33:28When defending himself on long tangents, Tim sounds like he's on the stand explaining some heinous crime to a disbelieving prosecutor.
