00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Learn so much so.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time I had to measure

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: my foot to see what size shoe I wear. And

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: I'm sure now they have some form of like, I

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 2: don't know, laser digital thing. When's the last time any

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: of you had your foot measured for some reason?

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: A fun tire?

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well, if you're old enough to remember when

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: we used to go to the shoe store I get shoes,

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: there was that metal thing that was on the ground.

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna make us sound so old timing,

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: but it was like a metal thing and you stuck

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: your heel in it, and you turn it around to

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: stick the other heel in it, and it would tell

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: you what size shoe you were, and then you can

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 2: even do the width. Did you know that thing has

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: a name? That device has a name. It's called the

20
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: Brannick Device. So a guy named Charles Brannick patented that

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: in nineteen twenty six, and his Brannic Device company has

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: been making them ever since.

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how much demand.

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: There is anymore for these things, right, but every shoe

25
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: store had at least a few of these things, and

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: you'd be on the floor and you'd stick your I

27
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: can't believe I have to explain this, Like my niece

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: Holly will never probably ever see one of these things

29
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: in her life. It looks like an ancient torture device.

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: If you didn't know what it was for, you might be.

31
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna see on Pond Stars in like twenty years

32
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 2: that the original Brannic device is worth a gazillion dollars

33
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: and you can buy it.

34
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: But that's what it's called.

35
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: The thing that measures how big your foot is, the

36
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,000
