    I’ll just say I’ve never seen so many shills as in the threads about this live show. What about the ice cream truck that rolled in at 7:41 ? Had me laughing hard. This was a significant community meetup with Larry Cheng as a guest. Where has he guested before this? This was a non scripted live event. There were some awkward moments but mostly a lot of heart

      Disappointed people are not shills. We must refrain from a cult of personality, because the types which gravitate to that spotlight are usually disappointing. This event was rife with “cult of personality” which turns me off completely. But I acknowledge that some people are jazzed by such things as this event, HS pep rallies, religious services, etc. I’m just here for the DD, analysis, and a few hits of tin.

      I think Pulte likes to play off the community hype around ice cream & 741. It was obviously orchestrated & he’s a hype man who aspires to to deliver what the crowd likes. Is there actual significance around 741 & ice cream? Perhaps, or maybe there used to be, or nothing at all - but it’s community symbolism none the less.

      LC’s participation was the one sticky point for me. Even after sleeping in it I’m still of a mind that RC is trying to placate the most currently active sub-group of his investment followers until D-Day, and likely convinced LC to make an appearance to pacify & intrigue this audience in lieu of himself.
