I liked the water bottle thing. Felt genuine. At one point Barry non-chalantly walked over to the corner of the stage, picked up a water bottle, walked back to the middle of the stage and tossed it out into the crowd. A minute later he stops talking and addresses a woman in the crowd, something to the tune of "Ma'am, maybe you should just sit down. Yeah. Actually, can we clear a path over to one of the chairs on the side? And can we get some EMTs over here?" Then he picked up where he left off in his speech. That whole thing just gave me the warm fuzzies, that the guy was able to spot what was going on with this one lady in the middle of a crowd of tens of thousands. Bravo, Barry. Bravo.
