Here at Swag Tier, we only loosely plan our topics, roughly budget time for each within a 30-minute episode, then go for it. We wanted to talk about the Megan’s playtest of Thornwatch (5 minutes), her Black Beauty revelation (5 minutes), Steven’s trip weeklong to Puerto Rico (10 minutes), then Megan’s first Rennaisance Faire (10 minutes). But this episode is a classic example of how much we (don’t) care about those marks. We’re 20 minutes into the episode before we even start in on Puerto Rico, and ignore any sights to focus in on Steven missing his flight. Classic Swag Tier.

It was entirely accidental. Seriously, we’ve been trying pretty hard for the past six episodes to keep it clean. But once we made the segue from drive-thrus to erotic Amazon items, and then from zebra onesies to letting it hang out there in front of a children’s minigolf employee…we couldn’t go back.

Oh, and here’s the recalled Teletubby:
