Yeah, that aspect was cringeworthy.

Lesson learned: if you're running a big event with Q&A, always always either restrict it to qualified people or vet the questions before they're asked.

Don't allow a general audience to just form a line in front of a microphone.

I agree man, but "assclown" is unnecessarily rude.
