Tim recalls his old job dressing as Santa Claus to sign low-income people up for Obamacare, including a story about competing for attention with a costumed chicken at a restaurant.
- Tim was a Santa who signed poor people up for Obamacare in bad neighborhoods, supplementing his stand-up comedy learning.
- Poor people are depressing around the holidays—getting shot, sick, or working shifts—whereas holidays are really for rich people with feasts and church.
- When Tim was poor Santa in a poor neighborhood, everyone was broke and unhappy, asking him healthcare questions he couldn't answer while sitting in a truck.
- At a Spanish chicken restaurant on Long Island, people wanted photos with Tim instead of the actual chicken mascot, who was also signing people up for Obamacare.
- The government sent out costumed characters—Santas, chickens, the Kool-Aid guy, SpongeBob—into the streets to get low-income people to sign up for Obamacare.
