  SPEAKER_00: We've done everything you had.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: Everything's going for you, please.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: Government counting that everything.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: So tell us, Governor, what else can we do for you?
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: I got it from here.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to another episode of Band's regular talks.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: Today I'm gonna talk to you about the controversial topic um should you stay late with disability in large events or should you leave early?
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: And I hope to give you an insight on what I would do during both scenarios.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: So here we go.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Now me personally, I'm just gonna say right up in the jump.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: I would rather stay late than leave early at an event.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Because not only do you miss the finale when you leave early at like a concert per se.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: But I think it depends on if you go to basketball and you'll miss something like something like that.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: So I think at least depending on the scenario and the situ the situation that determines you wanna say early or say late.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'll give in a couple examples of what my scenarios are.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: This is different for everybody, but this is just for me.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: So so when so when I'm at like a museum or like a painting place and I cannot get there before the crowd gets down, I simply try to pick out what I want to see and what I'm more interested in and then I leave before the crowd gets too bad.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: For me that's an example of leaving early, but because I'm a guy and most guys like I would rather s stay into the end of the game.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Especially if it if it's a good game going down to the wire.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: You know, this might be overtime or the win type deal or the defense gotta stop doing the game.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: Or during a concert, I wanna I wanna stay late.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: Stay late for the finale.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: But other people with disabilities want to leave early before the finale because they wanna get back to the car before it gets the car.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: And me, I agree with this a little bit.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: But I think we should have a couple lives.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you have to I hope you listen to what I have to say.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: People should be allowed in early when they have a disability, not when the crowd gets not not when they cutting to the crowd to get to their destination.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: Now, some people may have issues with this and some people might abuse this.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: Let me explain why I say that.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Because not only do you get controlling and you don't have guns running you in my shoes, but get to enjoy the concert, get to be situated, and then what the event organizers you're at the way round and you you basically enjoy the event that you're at.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Versus too often time when we go when we go to concerts, we have to deal with people getting in front of us and deal with deal with the frustration of it all.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: So I recommend that there should be people that guide people in the wheelchairs of disabilities, their destination, especially when it's crowded.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: All in all, I hope that organizers find ways instead of doing what they only do to large like pirallies or large events.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: They normally ask us to leave a little bit only.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: I give us a little bit early access.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: I think we should wait till the crowd leaves and then then go.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Because not only do you have to do with your chairs running on, which sounds like a little peeving noise.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Most motorizable chair has, but you have to do it within navigation of getting out of your spot or in other worldly terms, they call it your seats.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: See, to me if we waited until the crowd left, we wouldn't have to deal with being stared at, we'd have to deal with being distracting other people and having awkward awkward encounters.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: We wouldn't have to deal with people having to squeeze their chair in just so you can get by.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: I think leaving at least in this this scenario.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: If you have somewhere to be like right after right after the event, or you have a busy day the next day, then I would be ready.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: Because why?
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Depending on what it is, if it's a doctor's appointment or a test the next day, then I would be ready.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: Make sure I have enough energy to rest for that day and also study.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: Many ways, I'm not the only one that thinks that turns out a lot of people that have exams during the exams, a lot of them do the same thing.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas in the summertime, they would rather stay late because they know they can sleep in tomorrow.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: So it all depends on you and your preference.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: But I'll leave you with this.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: Always arrive a little bit early.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: And like I always say, no matter what, try to plan accordingly and try to have fun.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: And also don't forget to be confident in yourself and live this regular life.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you enjoyed.
