0:00.0	Hey, everyone, before we get on with the show, I just wanted to encourage all of you to get your
0:05.6	COVID-19 vaccine if you have not already gotten it. COVID-19 vaccines are starting to become
0:10.8	available to the general public. Getting vaccinated is the first step to getting back to all the
0:16.2	things we miss the most. I just got my second vaccination of my Pfizer shot and I am beyond excited
0:22.8	to go give my mom a big hug. She can't travel. She is battling cancer so it's just not something I was
0:30.8	able to do and now I can go see my mom and I am beyond excited to do so. So it's not just visiting
0:37.5	your friends and your loved ones. It's supporting the hospitality industry going to movies. All the things
0:43.3	that we love so much sporting events, all of these things can only happen if we all get vaccinated.
