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 this episode of Discussing Stupid, Virgil and Cole are joined by a new guest—High Monkey’s Project Manager and QA specialist, Seth Moline. Together, they dig into the often-overlooked world of quality assurance (QA) and why it can make or break a digital project.

From accessibility issues to ripple effects caused by last-minute code changes, Seth walks us through what great QA really looks like—and why it’s not just a checklist you run through before launch. The team discusses how QA needs to be methodical, repeatable, and fully integrated into your build process—not an afterthought.

They also explore:
	• Why QA isn’t just testing—it’s marketing
	• How staging environments save you from public embarrassment
	• The value of fresh eyes and non-developer perspectives
	• Common QA mistakes and how to avoid them
	• Why accessibility should never be separated from quality

Whether you’re a developer, content manager, strategist, or digital lead, this episode will change the way you think about testing and quality.

For more conversations about digital strategy, UX, accessibility, and all the ways we get it wrong (and how to get it right), visit www.discussingstupid.com and subscribe on your favorite podcast platform.
