If the spectators who come to La Resistencia every week know one thing, it is that anything can happen. Even more so, if they get to sit as a “special spectator” in the best seat at the Príncipe de la Gran Vía theater: the VIP beach lounger tucked into a ball pool, in the front row.
The one chosen yesterday was Beatriz, a young spectator who was scared of the night when it was her turn to collaborate, because she was “very shy.” “She seems noble and affable… Harmless,” commented David Broncano. “Be careful, be careful, be careful…” the comedian Sergio Bezos warned him. “She is noble and gentle, but she is very shy.”
The young woman said she was having a hard time, because she was “very shy,” but she did manage to answer Broncano’s questions. First, the presenter asked her what she did for a living, giving everyone an answer that made the audience burst into laughter.
“I’m a resident,” the young woman answered, which made Broncano joke by saying, let’s see if he was Residente, the rapper. “I am a resident in immunology. For example, in my shifts I wait for someone to die.”
A moment that had everyone laughing, with Ricardo Castella pointing out from the stage: “If she does that, she better be shy.”
The young woman couldn’t help but blush, but she wanted to elaborate on her answer. “I wait for someone who is a donor to die before I can do a transplant,” she clarified, “I do the compatibility tests.” Her final response did earn applause, but as Broncano told her, it was better for her not to “sell” it like that.
“The work you do is very important, but you can’t tell it like that. You can’t say ‘I hope people die…’. Send a message,” he encouraged. The young woman, who had already reached for a fan to alleviate the hot flashes and embarrassment given her shyness, was brief and concise, but she accepted the challenge: “Guys, donate, it is very important and you will save lives.”
