5 Paragraph Summary: ๐
The final third of the show is dominated by the introduction of a new “friend of the show,” Triple Threat Tim. ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ His unique perspective as a street-savvy individual with a savant-like brain injury captivates the hosts, leading them to grant him open access to call in whenever he wants. ๐โ๏ธ
