I made my first two PieFed "Event" posts, but I don't understand the times being shown.

I manually wrote in the titles the advertised times, which both use US Eastern time. The times of day for the events are 7.5 hours apart (12.00 & 19.30). But PieFed events shows the times of day as 1.5 hours apart (17.00 & 18.30).
Re times I input into PieFed event settings:
- "Disciples of the 36th Chamber": I did that with the correct time for my local time zone (America/Mexico), 11.00. It shows up for me as 17.00 GMT -6 . (17.00 is the event time in UTC . My UTC offset is -6.)
- "First Blood": I decided to try America/New York 19.30. It shows up for me as 18.30 GMT-6 . (18.30 is the event time in my local time zone . My UTC offset is -6.)
- Why does PieFed show time for one event in UTC, but time for the other in my local time?
- Is there a way to make clear what time zone (UTC, local, other) is actually being shown?
Why does it show the event in UTC, not my timezone, for the "Disciples" watch party?
