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.
