Here is the speaker's (Sam Davidson) blog about what happened. And, as usual, the Betas stood out as being classier than the rest... September 8, 2014 - My Worst Audience Was Also My Best Audience I figured it was bound to happen and I’d only been lucky. In the hundreds of times I’ve spoken, I’ve been fortunate enough to only encounter one really terrible crowd. And that wasn’t their fault (or mine). Regardless, I’d been enjoying a nice streak of audiences that are interested in what I’m saying, engaged in the message, and eager to hear more. Until last week. I started off with a crowd of nearly 600 freshmen and it went downhill from there. Stories that I’ve told hundreds of times didn’t connect. Jokes that worked a week ago fell flat. People started looking at their phones. Then having side conversations. And then - and this actually happened - the coughing began. You know, where one person coughs and another does, too, thinking it’s funny and then it catches on with another section and then about a hundred guys are coughing at the same time. And that was a sign it was time to wrap. As I concluded and turned it back over to the event host, I just chalked it up as part of the grind. No one hits home runs all the time. People strike out and it’s part and parcel of what happens when you dare to stand in a room full of people with something to say.
