Hi Kevin,

This seat does not ask you to find the idea — the thesis is already validated.

An early-stage venture-backed startup in NYC has the thesis validated, the funding committed and B2B letters of intent in place. It is hiring the person to build that product. That seat is Technical Founder-in-Residence, and it carries the technical direction.

I was looking for a video of The State’s sketch about the guy who discovers the word “and” and... this AI Overview neither describes that sketch nor the linked www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Kz..., which is indeed “a ridiculous, disjointed live broadcast” but not based on the word “and” at all
Google results for ‘the state sketch about the word “and”’
AI Overview
The "And" sketch by the 90s MTV sketch troupe The State is an absurd, meta-textual parody of news coverage. It takes the word "and" to its absolute limit, featuring field reporters endlessly reciting "and" in different contexts while hiding behind objects or in trees.Sketch OverviewThe premise of the sketch is a ridiculous, disjointed live broadcast that devolves into chaos. It opens with a news bulletin from a reporter in Australia standing on the coast. The reporter lists off increasingly specific, nonsensical adjectives for himself and fellow reporters—"one lone field reporter," "two lone field reporters," "red lone field reporter"—before passing the broadcast along to different scenes.The Core JokeInstead of delivering actual news, each reporter in the chain primarily uses the word "and" to bridge their bizarre, isolating actions (e.g., hiding under a bed or climbing a tree). It acts as a satirical jab at the flowery, meaningless transition words network anchors and reporters use to string together live updates, ultimately turning the word itself into the punchline.Cast MembersThe bizarre and surreal segment heavily features the trademark absurdist style of the 11-member The State comedy group, who used their eponymous MTV series to mock traditional television and news formats.You can watch the full absurd news segment on YouTube:
