The imperative

Also, it's a big day for me. I'm very excited about this.

Past simple

I had this idea. I always have these silly ideas, right?

And so I had this idea probably over a year ago.

I was in -- in my backyard, and I was thinking --

I usually, like, spin them or something like that.

I'm just waiting. Kind of fidgety or whatever.

"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 --"

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 all 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 sunglasses around and whatever.

I just think that you could put a little hinge or something.'"

Anyway, so, I didn't hear back. So it's just good. It's fine.

-No big deal. -I'd say probably a month later,

I get an email from Neil at Warby Parker.

And I couldn't get the video to open on my phone

or whatever, so I'm trying to 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.

And he's like, "Let's talk." So I go, "Okay."

And, ladies and gentlemen... [ Whistling ]

...as of today... [ Cheers and applause ]

spinnable sunglasses. [ Cheers and applause ]

Now they're available now at all Warby Parker stores

They're a limited amount. There's only 4,000 made.

Okay? This is a program -- [ Cheers and applause ]

Pupils Project is a program that Warby Parker founded

that provides free -- free vision screenings,

eye exams, and glasses to schoolchildren in the U.S.

So if you're not fortunate enough to be able

It is an amazing thing. 'Cause you probably think --

the last thing you'd think about, if your kid's at school

A lot of people just don't -- they don't have the money

or they just don't even think about that.

Who would have thought something so great would come

[ Laughter and applause ] But look under your seats

'cause everybody in our audience is getting...

Hold them up. Open them up. Take them for a spin.

Oh! I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
