"Stroke (one's) ego" = vuốt ve cái tôi -> nghĩa là xu nịnh hay ca ngợi ai.

Ví dụ 
Decades ago, I would be bothered by one in one hundred evaluations that was less than excellent. Now, I ask for feedback that won’t stroke my ego, rather, will help me create a better experience for the next audience.

Lando is about the same way but unlike Din he kind of needs company to keep himself occupied, and to have someone else around to stroke his ego from time to time, or at least give him a bit of a challenge from an intellectual standpoint.

I am a failed businessman, millions of dollars in debt. I have no idea what I’m doing and rely on a team of people around me to stroke my ego just so I can function. I don’t care how many Americans die of COVID as long as I get elected… That would really turn this election on its head.
