  • 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,935 Today, if you don't know, today is National Quiet Day.

  • Sh!

  • That was the wrong response.

  • You're supposed to be quiet.

  • National Quiet Day is a day for us

  • to take a break from all the noise in the world.

  • OK?

  • That's why we're here today.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • It's a great idea because there's

  • so much noise in the world.

  • There's so much commotion on the radio, on the internet,

  • on our phones, people who go to the movie theater

  • and open a Werther's Original behind you.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • 00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:37,890 So I thought, instead of doing a monologue,

  • we would honor National Quiet Day by being quiet,

  • and sit in silence.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • 00:00:47,202 --> 00:00:49,410 For the next couple of minutes, let's enjoy the quiet

  • and reflect on our lives.

  • Ready?

  • Let's all be quiet in three, two--

  • one quick thing before we start.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • 00:01:01,664 --> 00:01:03,997 I don't mean whispering, I don't mean anything like, oh,

  • why is she doing this?

  • I don't-- nothing, just quiet.

  • I want it to be so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

  • And I'm going to do it.

  • People say that and then they don't drop a pin.

  • So I'm going to do it.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • 00:01:26,229 --> 00:01:27,020 Couldn't hear that.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • 00:01:30,344 --> 00:01:32,509 I thought I would, but because you are being quiet--

  • and I appreciate that.

  • But now-- I don't know where it is.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • That's dangerous.

  • Somebody's going to step on that.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • 00:01:51,248 --> 00:01:53,196 [VACUUMING]

  • 00:01:55,631 --> 00:01:58,757 So while we're being quiet, I want

  • us to be quiet like-- quiet as a mouse.

  • Which is an expression-- quiet as a mouse.

  • But I don't know why they say that because mice aren't quiet.

  • When they're eating their little nuts or whatever mice eat.

  • [INAUDIBLE] You know?

  • There's other animals that are quiet.

  • There are-- like, a kitten.

  • When a kitten eats it's quiet.

  • Fish aren't exactly loud.

  • So you have-- any-- any-- animal.

  • Pick an animal that's your quiet animal and be quiet everybody.

  • Honestly, you're distracting me the way you're just

  • staring at me and laughing.

  • 00:02:39,374 --> 00:02:40,430 OK.

  • All right, so shh, OK.

  • Well, we're out of time.

  • All right, so.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,935 Today, if you don't know, today is National Quiet Day.
