    I haven’t watched more than a few minutes of the actual PP show before but this seemed significant enough that I had it on in the background while finishing up work. Thoughts:

    • Whole thing occurs at a windy airport tarmac, with a stage & everyone waiting. Pulte & PP arrive by helicopter. Why? Why that place, why a chopper? Pulte highlights he paid for the heli ride, not paid by participants’ $500 tickets. Chopper remains in the background the whole time. Is it vanity, or a clue?
    • Holy fuck Kais shouldn’t be on the stage. I still don’t know why he’s significant.
    • Lots of promotion of PHM
    • Lots of circle jerking. Konga line of it.
    • Houston Wade is weirded out and doesn’t seem to be buying the production. He’s stuck on stage, poor guy.
    • Pulte says he is NOT involved with bbby or Teddy in any way, but says he’d invest 1m if RC lets him. Someone calls him out that he could invest a lot more than that, and has dropped several million in Twitter/X.
    • Pulte shoots down every bit of tinfoil theories about him, no validity to any of it.
    • LC attended virtually, talked for 5 min. Pulte made it clear LC will not be discussing any publicly traded companies. LC comments about the helicopter… The damn chopper again - was LC subtly calling Pulte vain, or is this a coordinated reinforcement of a clue? Leaning towards the former. Most of what LC says is about RC. I’m really surprised he agreed to be a part of this… And why LC? Did RC convince LC to do this as a consolation prize to placate the PP crowd? LC is the GME investor furthest from bbby, at least as far as we currently know. Was RC a consolation prize delivered by RC?

    This has left me very confused. I try to keep an open mind about Pulte but this made me dislike him more… Everything he said was the most meaningless generalizations delivered in the style of a pseudo-politician. He’s a trust fund-ed 35 yo who looks 50… But RC keeps liking Pulte’s tweets and then LC. My BS sensor is detecting a presence, but the signals are too mixed IMO. Is this all a make-a-wish production for Pulte, with RC & LC humoring a dying man-child? I kid, but this whole thing is just so unexplainably strange.

    Still don’t care for PP though, sorry. His app idea is just dumb, but I think Pulte is funding it.

    Thoughts?

      After sleeping on it I’m more annoyed by PP & Pulte blatantly cutting off any interesting BBBY discussion. Jake2b, the attorney, Houston Wade… Every time they were cut off and momentum on the topic killed, never to return. I think they were trying to make it more about themselves and didn’t like the spotlight shining elsewhere.

      Interactions from RC and LC are the only thing still giving Pulte any sense of credibility, and why I’m still on the fence about him, vs outright dismissing him as a grifter.

      Someone in the PP Community on Twitter suggested doing a Twitter search for “#pultescam”. Boy, there are a lot of angry tweets about Pulte from 2019. No idea on their validity or what was going on back then, but there do seem to be some similarities.
