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 9 of Discussing Stupid, host Virgil Carroll is joined by co-host Cole from High Monkey to break down a frustrating reality of modern work: the overwhelming number of collaboration tools that don’t actually improve teamwork. With so many platforms—Slack, Teams, ClickUp, Figma, email, and more—why does collaboration feel more chaotic than ever?

Virgil and Cole explore how the abundance of tools often leads to scattered conversations, lost information, and inefficiency, rather than better collaboration. They discuss real-world examples of how context gets lost in endless message threads, how teams juggle disconnected platforms, and why no single tool seems to solve the problem.

As the conversation unfolds, they dig into why the issue isn’t just the tools, but also the processes behind them. They explore what effective workplace collaboration really looks like, sharing insights on how teams can reduce tool overload, set clear communication guidelines, and establish a single source of truth to prevent chaos.

To close, they offer practical takeaways on improving collaboration—whether through better workflows, tool integration, or just picking a platform and sticking to it. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of why collaboration is broken and what steps can actually make it better.
