Y Combinator Podcast Recorded Entirely in Lobster Costumes

Description

A still from a Y Combinator video podcast (orange 'Y' logo in the bottom-right corner) showing four hosts seated around a round white table with professional Shure podcast microphones on boom arms, in a bright white room with large windows. All four wear absurd red crustacean outfits: a woman in black with a small lobster hat and claw gloves, a man in a flannel shirt wearing a spiky lobster-crown hat, a man fully enclosed in an inflatable lobster suit with googly eyes, and a man in a checked shirt whose entire head is covered by a fabric lobster mask, plus claw mittens. The deadpan contrast between a serious startup-advice podcast format and full lobster cosplay is the joke, in line with YC's Lightcone podcast doing costume episodes around Halloween while discussing AI and startup trends
