00:00Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. I'm begging of you, please don't hesitate.
00:07Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. Cause once you're dead, then that's a bit too late.
00:23I know I'm trying to be funny now, but I'm dead serious about the vaccine.
00:28I think we all want to get back to normal, whatever that is.
00:32And that would be a great shot in the arm, wouldn't it? If we could get back to that.
00:36But anyhow, I just wanted to encourage everybody, cause the sooner we get to feeling better,
00:40the sooner we are going to get back to being normal.
00:43So I just want to say to all of you cowards out there, don't be such a chicken squat.
00:50Get out there and get shot.
00:52Anyway, that's my message to you.
00:54So I am going to call on my friend, Dr. Najia Boomrod, that's worked in research here at Vanderbilt.
01:01That's where I am today.
01:03And he's going to pop me in my arm.
01:05And so I'm going to call him in.
01:07I'm going to mask up first though, cause I have a pretty good distance from me and the camera.
01:11So I'm going to put this on and get that on.
01:16Get my hair back around so I look good.
01:18You know we got to look good.
01:20Okay, Dr. Najia, get in here and give me a shot.
01:23How are you?
01:24Hey, how are you?
01:25I'm good.
01:26It's so good to see you.
01:27Have you been practicing?
01:28Thank you very much for coming.
01:29Yeah, well thank you for helping me out.
01:31You've been here for years doing research at Vanderbilt.
01:34And you and I have been friends forever.
01:36And I thought it was only appropriate that you should be the one to give me my shot today.
01:41Absolutely.
01:42And I'm so glad that you're here and that you're giving a great message.
01:46And we're ready.
01:47Okay, well I'm going to wait on you.
01:49I hope you practice.
01:50I even had a little cut out in my shirt.
01:53I messed it over here.
01:54Cause I'm sure you can just reach down in there and surely find a muscle somewhere.
01:59Uh-huh.
02:00I'm going to wait for you.
02:02All right.
02:03I'm sorry.
02:04It's all right.
02:05Do what you got to do.
02:06You're the doctor.
02:07I'm just the patient.
02:08I didn't know you was going to be so clumsy.
02:10I hope you're going to do better with my shot.
02:13And I hope this don't look like it does on TV where it looks like they're driving an ice picking yard.
02:19Okay.
02:20Let me ask you.
02:21I have two questions to ask you.
02:22Okay.
02:23Do you have any bleeding disorders?
02:24No.
02:25Any serious allergies, anaphylactic reaction?
02:28No.
02:29Okay.
02:30We're ready.
02:31I think I'm good to go.
02:37I'm going.
02:38I'm going.
02:40Well, it didn't take this long to film nine to five, Dr. Noddy.
02:46Okay.
02:47I'm still waiting.
02:49Well, I've been waiting since December.
02:51I've been in line.
02:52Okay.
02:53Here I go.
02:54All right.
03:10Stinky, got it?
03:11I got it.
03:12Okay.
03:13That didn't hurt.
03:14It just stung a little bit, but that was from the alcohol pad, I think.
03:17Yeah.
03:18Right?
03:19Okay.
03:20All right.
03:21Should we put a...
03:22A band-aid?
03:23No.
03:24Mess up my beauty mark?
03:25Okay.
03:26I'm joking.
03:27You do what you got to do.
03:28I don't want blood on my clothes.
03:30Hey, I did it.
03:31I did it.
03:32I did it.
03:33I did it.
03:34I did it.
03:35I did it.
03:36I did it.
03:37I did it.
