Noah Kahan - Dial Drunk (Ryan Leary Remix)

"The Christmas Light Fiasco"

Twinkling bulbs, a merry sight,
Until they flicker, fade, and fight.
“Let’s sync them to a jolly tune!”
But they’re off-beat by afternoon.

On the roof, I climb with care,
But the ladder wobbles—oh, beware!
One wrong step, I take a dive,
To the snowbank, still alive!

Props are scattered, lights aglow,
Push them in—oh, too far, oh no!
Frosty’s head rolls down the lawn,
Santa’s sleigh is halfway gone.

Cars pull up to see the show,
But forget to dim their headlights’ glow.
Honking horns and flashing beams,
Drown out the lights’ well-planned schemes.

The light show starts—no, wait, it’s stuck!
Rain pours down, just my luck.
Snowstorms follow, ice does too,
The lights short out—a frosty hue.

Cars pull up to see the show,
But forget to dim their headlights’ glow.
Honking horns and flashing beams,
Drown out the lights’ well-planned schemes.

The light show starts—no, wait, it’s stuck!
Rain pours down, just my luck.
Snowstorms follow, ice does too,
The lights short out—a frosty hue.

A tangled mess, a wire's snapped,
The reindeer props have all collapsed.
But through the chaos, there’s still cheer,
For Christmas comes but once a year!

The Christmas Light Fiasco

In Episode 3 of Discussing Stupid Season 2, host Virgil Carroll, along with Cole Schlotthauer from High Monkey, dives into the topic of content readability. They focus on how overly complex or technical language can turn users away and make it harder for people to understand.

The team discusses common readability mistakes like using too much jargon, confusing sentence structure, and not keeping the audience in mind. Virgil shares examples from government and education where content wasn’t simple enough. They explain why it’s important to know your audience and keep language clear, especially for government websites that need to be at an 8th-grade reading level.

The episode also includes a demo using Readable.com, where Virgil and Cole show how to take a sentence and make sure it is clear and easy to read. This example shows why keeping content simple helps people understand and stay engaged.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have tips to make your content easy to read and understand, reaching a wider audience.
