-It´s official.
Apple has two new iPhones --
the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X.
But what you may not know -- -Seth, look at me.
-I´m sorry. Ben, this isn´t the time.
-Seth, I have something important to ask.
-Sorry, everyone. This is one of our writers, Ben Warheit.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Seth, will you sit in silence with me?
-What? -Seth.
Will you sit here for one uninterrupted minute of silence
and just be in the moment with me?
-No.
-It´s just one minute.
-Why would I ever want to do that?
-´Cause I think it´s important for you to understand
that, you know, you´re more than just the jokes
and commentary you have to offer.
Seth...
you´re not a circus clown.
You´re a real person.
You don´t need to be "on" all the time.
We don´t have to fill every single second
of our time with material.
We´re allowed to just be here.
So...come on.
Be with me in the silence.
-And do what?
-Do nothing. It doesn´t matter.
You could look at me. You can look wherever you want.
-I guarantee people will think this is stupid.
-Okay. So maybe people think, "Well, it´s stupid."
Do you think you´re stupid?
I don´t. I -- I don´t.
I think you´re kind and creative.
And a good boss.
And a good dad and husband.
And I think people in your life will still care about you,
you know, even if you´re not
constantly trying to entertain them.
-Yeah, man, I can already tell
this is making the audience super-uncomfortable.
-I know. I know it´s uncomfortable.
It´s -- It´s unfamiliar.
And it´s like --
It may feel embarrassing and awkward.
But that doesn´t mean it´s wrong.
Be with me in the silence.
You know, people could laugh or not.
It doesn´t matter. It doesn´t have to be funny.
You know? It could be boring. It´s fine.
The people will always be there
writing articles and commenting under YouTube videos.
That´s for tomorrow.
Right now, I just ask, in this moment...
be with me in the silence.
-I don´t know.
-All right. I´ll tell you what.
If you sit here with me...
[ Laughter ]
...for one uninterrupted minute of silence,
I promise you, not only will you feel a lot better,
but when it´s all over, I´ll show everyone a video
of Larry Bird´s best dunks
but with all the dunk sounds replaced by fart sounds.
Yes.
And because of, you know,
the light and stupid nature of such a thing,
we can all then take a collective breath
knowing that the moment of sincerity is over
and we´re all going back to doing
exactly what everyone expects from us.
-Okay. -Yeah?
-When do we start?
-We start right now.
[ Laughter ]
That´s about a minute. -All right.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Not so bad, right? -No, it wasn´t so bad.
-Seth, thank you. -Thank you, Ben.
-All right. Roll it, Alex!
[ Fart sound ]

-We´ll be right back, everybody.
