-All right, so check this out.
Also, it's a big day for me.
I'm very excited about this.
I had this idea. I always have
these silly ideas, right?
And so I had this idea probabl
over a year ago.
I was in -- in my backyard
and I was thinking --
when I'm waiting online
or whatever,
I always --
I have my sunglasses.
I usually, like, spin them
or something like that.
I'm just waiting.
Kind of fidgety or whatever.
And it just never --
I was saying,
"I wonder if someone could
actually put, like, a little -
like a ball bearing
or some type of thing
on the arm of the sunglasses
so you can get a good --"
[ Whooshes ]
[ Light laughter ]
I wanna get a good --
[ Whooshes ]
Get a good whip to it, you know?
-[ Imitates whip crack ]
-Anyway, so I heard the guys
that started Warby Parker
on this podcast called
"How I Built This" with Guy Raz.
And it's a great podcast
if you haven't heard it.
But anyways, I listen to it al
the time. I love it.
And I heard these guys talking
They just came from --
They just started up --
started themselves.
They're just nice guys.
I go, "You know what?
I'm gonna send them a video of
my idea and say, 'Hey, guys,
I don't know if you can
see this, or whatever,
or if you read this email,
but I have this idea
where you whip the sunglasse
around and whatever.
You're just waiting online
I just think that you could pu
a little hinge or something.'"
Anyway, so, I didn't hear back
So it's just good. It's fine
[ Laughter ]
No big deal.
-No big deal.
-I'd say probably a month later,
I get an email from Neil
at Warby Parker.
And it's some video.
And I couldn't get the video
to open on my phone
or whatever, so I'm trying t
forward it so I can open it.
I open it up, it's this really
funny video of him
going through the offices
of Warby Parker,
and everybody in the office is
pretending to spin sunglasses.
They all have "Tonight Show"
on their laptop and everything
It was really --
it was a funny video.
And he's like, "Let's talk."
So I go, "Okay."
So we started talking about it
And this is
a year and a half later.
And, ladies and gentlemen...
[ Whistling ]
...as of today...
[ Cheers and applause ]
Look at this.
[ Drum roll ]
The first ever...
spinnable sunglasses.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Look at them.
-Whoa.
♪♪♪♪
-See that there?
So that's there.
So look at this.
[ Cheers and applause ]
See what I'm talking
about there?
-Yeah.
-Spinnable sunglasses.
[ Cheering ]
They are called --
they are called --
they're called Spinnies,
okay?
Now they're available now
at all Warby Parker stores
and at warbyparker.com.
They're a limited amount.
There's only 4,000 made.
But here's the best part
of this.
100% of every Spinnies purchas
goes directly to
Pupils Project.
Okay? This is a program --
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wait till you hear.
Wait till you hear.
Wait till you hear
what this does.
Pupils Project is a progra
that Warby Parker founded
that provides free --
free vision screenings,
eye exams, and glasses
to schoolchildren in the U.S
through public private
partnership.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Come on!
-So if you're --
[ Applause ]
So if you're not
fortunate enough to be abl
to go to an eye doctor,
or you know --
they come --
they will come to you.
It is an amazing thing.
'Cause you probably think --
the last thing you'd think
about, if your kid's at school
not doing well at school
or struggling,
is that they can't see.
A lot of people just don't -
they don't have the money
or they just don't even
think about that.
But now, with glasses,
you can go,
"Oh, he just couldn't see
the board."
I just think it's
a beautiful thing.
Who would have thought
something so great would com
out of such a dumb idea
like this?
[ Laughter and applause ]
But look under your seats
'cause everybody in our audience
is getting...
-Yeah!
-...their own pair of Spinnies
[ Cheers and applause ]
Put them up.
♪♪♪♪
[ Cheering continues ]
Hold them up. Open them up
Take them for a spin.
Let me see what they look like
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, yeah, baby!
♪♪♪♪
Oh! I love it. I love it.
I love it. I love it.

Whoa!
Thank you to everyone
at Warby Parker
for collaborating with me
on this.
It is a fun thing
for a great cause,
and I am honored to be
part of this.
I love you, Warby Parker.
You guys are awesome.
Thank you so much.
[ Cheers and applause ]
