  1. So we tried to keep this a secret. Now, it's never really been a secret, but the first major press piece that we got after we launched, we were featured in Vogan GQ, but we get this great feature in the New York Times, and everything's awesome. And then the very last sentence is, oh, and Neil doesn't really need glasses. I was like, is this really newsworthy?

  2. That is very crazy, and we'll get to that in a second. But I have a very important first question, which is, sources told me that one of you doesn't need to be wearing glasses. And so I'm not going to guess. I'm going to ask you, Neil, first. Is it you?

  3. Starting at $95 a pop, you can buy them online, but increasingly you can buy them in something called a physical retail store. Believe you guys have about 20 now with 20 more on the way. How'd I do there?

  4. Oh, Neil, I like that. Anything from you, Dave? What do you think of? I'm just impressed by the Rappin' Rodney Dangerfield album cover I'm looking at on the wall. There are a lot of album covers. We have some Bud Light plastic cups, no beer, unfortunately, and we're ready to go. So for our listeners who are youngish and stylish, you probably know Warby Parker relatively well or wear them yourself. For those who aren't, I'll try to do the quick and dirty and you guys can tell me if I get it right. Good looking glasses.

  5. Thanks, Kara. I'm here with the co-CEOs of Warby Parker and Neil Blumenthal and Dave Gilboa, and we are in a very awesome and funky studio where we have some demolition going on above us. So you may hear some noise from time to time, but our great conversation hopefully will mask all of that. What do you guys think of this place?
