1
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:08.400
This story again, is about what
happens if you step on those creepy stairs
2
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:10.960
in the woods and you guys,
I'm gonna go ahead and go ahead and
3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.439
get it going. We got people
waiting, we're a little behind, so
4
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.160
we'll go ahead and take off here
and this is going to be told,
5
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:22.239
and I'm gonna be reading front the
individual that shared this story. So okay,
6
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.320
So me and my friend Sam went
to Michigan together on a hiking trip.
7
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.320
When you pull up, you see
a lodge. When you hike to
8
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.600
the campsite, it's a very woodsy
part of Michigan. The trail is like
9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.240
ten feet wide, and then around
you is pretty much all woods. There
10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.799
are park guides that take you to
the lodge to the campsite. You're allowed
11
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.159
to spread out because everyone is on
the same trail, but everybody's within a
12
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.799
couple miles of each other. That's
how the size of this is. There's
13
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.840
always a park ranger falling along sometimes
in the distance. Because of the size
14
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.560
of the park and the amount of
people. We're technically with a lot of
15
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.119
people, but it's just me and
Sam. The lining of the trees on
16
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.640
the side of the trail are like
really really dense. You couldn't see a
17
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:00.119
deer if it was ten feet in
front of you. I look off to
18
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.079
the right and there's a gap in
the trees. I see a staircase one
19
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.480
hundred yards into the woods. It
sticks out completely. It's so out of
20
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.680
place. It looks like it got
plucked up with a mansion. It looks
21
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.359
like something you were building, like
a sim's house. You chose the staircase,
22
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.359
but then you put the staircase there. Then you deleted the rest of
23
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.040
the house. But at the top
it just stopped, doesn't really go anywhere.
24
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.959
It's like ten feet high, then
nothing, which is so weird.
25
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.280
Sam and I look at each other. We didn't see the park ranger around,
26
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.079
but we decided, hey, let's
go check these stairs out. So
27
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.400
we started walking towards it. And
the closer we get to it, the
28
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.439
more eerie things start to feel.
I started to get the feeling that this
29
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:44.079
isn't like your local forests preserve or
in the middle of deep woods, like
30
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.040
we're on a long nature adventure or
something. Then you see something so clearly
31
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.079
man made out here. It sticks
out. It's weird. Why is it
32
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.920
here? The stairs were glowing as
if it's trying to attract me. I
33
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.519
started getting intrusive thoughts. Everything in
my head is saying, go up these
34
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.400
stairs. I run up and just
hop on the first step. I have
35
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.079
my hand on the railing and it
puts up my feet on the first step.
36
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.599
This is where things start to get
weird. The second I got onto
37
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:14.759
it, it almost felt like it
had a light, little vibration to it.
38
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.800
I felt it on my feet,
this vibrating, and on my hands
39
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.960
they were tingling a bit. I'm
like laughing and giggling, like, oh,
40
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.280
this is really weird. While I'm
expecting the staircase, it has carpet
41
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.800
on the stairs. The railings are
white. The carpets are blue, like
42
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.039
a royal blue. And there's no
debris. There's not a leaf, not
43
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.879
a sprinkle of dirt, not any
bugs or leaves or anything on it.
44
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.879
Strange. It's almost starts to feel
like a trap. Part of my head
45
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.199
is saying keep going to the top. And then before I climbed to the
46
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.919
top of the stairs, I look
back at my friend Sam. He's looking
47
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.240
at me like he's horrified. He's
looking at me like something is wrong with
48
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.639
me, Like I'm clearly in distress. Then I look back at the top
49
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:59.159
and I'm thinking should I go to
the top? Sam then grabs me by
50
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.319
the hood and he yanks me off
the stairs really really hard. Next thing
51
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.599
I know, I'm on the ground
laying face up. He immediately comes up
52
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.360
to me and says, are you
okay? Yeah, dude, why did
53
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.000
you pull me so hard? He
asked me again, Are you sure you're
54
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.319
okay? I replied, what are
you talking about? This is when the
55
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:20.199
conversation turned weird. I thought I
was on there giggling and having a good
56
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.680
time, and he told me it
seemed like I was actually standing there having
57
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.319
a standing seizure. I don't remember
that, because my perspective is I was
58
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.960
laughing and the staircase is vibrating,
and I'm having a decent time, just
59
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.840
really trying to figure out what it
is because we have this immaculate staircase in
60
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.159
the middle of the woods. And
he says, my eyes are actually rolling
61
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.360
in the back of my head and
I'm having a seizure. So he yanked
62
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.960
me off as soon as he started
to realize that I was having a seizure.
63
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.400
He said, no more than a
few seconds past. Honestly, I
64
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:51.520
felt completely fine, no type of
side effect or whatever. He helped me
65
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.639
in my feet and asked if I'm
okay to walk and if he needed to
66
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:58.080
go get help, and I told
him I'm fine and absolutely do not need
67
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.280
help, and let's get out of
here. We hustled back to the trail
68
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.120
and nobody's around. It's all good. We've talked about it for a little
69
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.080
bit, but I have to convince
him that I'm actually fine, fine to
70
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.639
continue on and head back to the
campsite. We finished up the hike,
71
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.920
and when we got back to the
campsite, everybody's there. It's all good.
72
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.079
Nobody noticed anything or saw anything.
Nothing dispersing going on. There's food
73
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.040
being made. It's been a long
hike. Everybody's tired. While we're finishing
74
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.000
up eating and everybody else is dispersing. I see the park ranger looking at
75
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.720
me with concern. I was debating
with Sam if I should tell the ranger
76
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.519
what happened. Sam thought I should
tell him, but honestly, I felt
77
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.680
too embarrassed. Sam goes up to
the tent and I decided to go to
78
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.160
the bathroom before heading to the tent. After using the bathroom and on my
79
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.040
way to the tent. The park
ranger stops me. He kind of looks
80
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.160
pissed off. He looks me in
the face, looks me right in the
81
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.079
eyes, and he says, please
tell me you didn't touch the stairs.
82
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.360
He repeats it again, Please tell
me you didn't touch those stairs. I
83
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.000
told him I didn't break anything,
and I didn't mess with them, because
84
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.240
I'm thinking maybe they are like a
national landmark or something important. He said,
85
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.639
it's not about the stairs. I
don't care that you damage them.
86
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.800
Did anything happen to you? I
started to think he was concerned about my
87
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.839
health. I tried to downplay it, and I told him my body threw
88
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.279
a little bit of a fit.
My friend said, but I'm fine.
89
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.399
Now I'm fine, because I'm thinking
he's wondering, do I have this guy
90
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:26.279
who's a liability on my campsite.
He seems upset that I'm okay. He
91
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.639
then tells me if something didn't happen
to you, something's going to happen to
92
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.360
someone else. I thought, that's
weird. That's not where I thought he
93
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.560
was gonna take this. He starts
guiltying me, telling me there are women
94
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.040
and children here, so if something
didn't happen to you, something might happen
95
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.319
to them. I can tell by
the way this guy is talking that he
96
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.600
is absolutely positive that something horrible is
going to happen because I touched the stairs.
97
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:53.879
I started pressing him because I'm wondering, why are you acting like the
98
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:59.560
stairs are so ominous? I started
asking, why would you take us on
99
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:04.000
this by this dangerous staircase. He
explains a little bit, kind of like
100
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.160
I should be in the know about
these stairs. He starts saying stuff like
101
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:15.120
they pop up randomly. And suddenly
I'm thinking this guy is absolutely tripping.
102
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.959
He's making things up. He's trying
to talk to me about touching this random
103
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.959
staircase make it seem like something horrible
is gonna happen. I leave this weirdo
104
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.879
by himself because I'm gonna go to
bed. I want to try to enjoy
105
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:33.160
this trip for the rest of the
time we're here. The next day,
106
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:38.040
we have a great time. You
know. It's Campsite's got a great lake.
107
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.680
We're spending time in the water.
Nothing weird is happening. Everything's completely
108
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.120
okay. In my head. That
guy was tripping, he's super weird.
109
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.160
We're fine. By the end of
the day, I had completely forgotten about
110
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:55.800
what happened. Sam's over it and
we go to sleep because obviously when you're
111
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:02.360
camping, you're spending so much time
energy outside you are exhausted. So we
112
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:08.439
hit the Hey it's early the next
morning when we hear something outside our tent,
113
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.079
maybe around four am. The sun's
been an hour from coming up,
114
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.040
and we hear this ruckous sound outside, someone crying. We take a look
115
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:26.199
and it's this young boy. We're
like, what's going on here? We
116
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.800
all got our tents and there's already
people around him. From what we could
117
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.240
hear from people talking, his mom
is gone, his tent is gone,
118
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:40.639
and all their belongings are gone.
They start questioning this kid and they're like,
119
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.079
you know, where's your mom?
This little kid just points towards the
120
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:49.560
trees. Apparently this kid's mom packed
up all their stuff went out on our
121
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.759
own hike in the middle of the
night. I'm thinking, this is,
122
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.959
you know, mom of their material
here. Why would someone do that?
123
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.560
We formed search party. Everybody's coming
together, like, all right, we're
124
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.879
gonna go to look for this lady. As we're walking towards the big group
125
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.199
that's going on the search, the
arc ranger walks by me and Sam,
126
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.079
and he says some slick comment to
me, saying, you better hope we
127
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.319
find her, because if we don't, it's on you. At this point,
128
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.199
I'm pretty pissed because this strange guy, this is really weird guys telling
129
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:30.399
me about this mythical stairs and now
he's trying to blame me for this mom
130
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.919
packing up her stuff and leaving in
the middle of the night. Sam asks
131
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.120
why would he say something like that
to you? Which I get his confusion.
132
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.240
Why would somebody blame somebody for eating
up and leaving in the middle of
133
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.360
the night on me? So I
filled him in on the mythology of these
134
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:54.200
staircases this arc ranger had told me. Sam's face is expressing to me that
135
00:08:54.240 --> 00:09:01.679
he believes the ranger and not me
being a little sarcastic about it, but
136
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.639
Sam seemed pretty serious. He tells
me, I think we should probably check
137
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.600
by the stairs. Luckily, the
search party is kind of directed towards the
138
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.879
area anyways, because we don't think
this lady's gonna go very far off the
139
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.360
trail, and so like, all
right, maybe she went back to the
140
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:26.080
lodge. Maybe she was done with
the campsite there, you know, there's
141
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.679
no sign of her. We didn't
see anything at first. We're walking down
142
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.960
the trail that we came in,
but once we get to the clearing,
143
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.639
this lady is sitting cross legged exactly
where the stairs were. At this point,
144
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.080
I'm a little freaked out. Well, I'm also like, of course
145
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.639
she's sitting there, like is she
in on this as well? Like what's
146
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.480
going on here? Why is this
lady sitting cross legged exactly where the stairs
147
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:03.799
were? And the stairs aren't there
anymore? Then my mind starts going like
148
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.840
why am I in this weird situation? Where is this weird park ranger?
149
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.559
Are they in hoots with each other? Something deranged going on? As this
150
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.440
person crazy, Me and Sam jog
up to her, there's already people next
151
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.679
to her by this point, and
as we're approaching her, I see their
152
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.759
clothes are tattered. Mind you,
she's only been going like an hour and
153
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.679
a half stops and her clothes are
all tattered. She looks like she got
154
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.559
dragged through the forest. She looks
like bear girls after a week in Siberia
155
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.600
by himself eating earthworms. She looks
sleep deprived. She looks like she hasn't
156
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.519
had food or water in a while. Her eyes are giving like a psychosis
157
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.000
kind of look to it. We
get up to her and people are already
158
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.679
asking her a question. One lady's
like, what happened? Are you okay?
159
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.200
And she's just rocking back and forth. She says, what took you
160
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:01.440
guys so long? And the guide
that's there he says, don't worry,
161
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.200
it's only been like an hour.
You need something to drink, and you're
162
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.639
safe now, and she just starts
mumbling, it's been days. It's been
163
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:15.000
days. Right then, I thought, okay, she is she crazy.
164
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.679
They're still question her, but she's
not even answering their questions at this point.
165
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.120
She's just kind of talking and mumbling
to herself. I've got a few
166
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:28.799
sentences as she mumbled out, it
told me you'd come. It told me
167
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:35.159
i'd be safe by the stairs.
Are you kidding me? It told me
168
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.320
you'd come. It told me I'd
be saved by the stairs. The stairs
169
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.000
aren't even here. How does she
even know that there were stairs here?
170
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.039
At this point, starting to believe
the park ranger, I started to feel
171
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.600
guilty about this. Am I the
reason this woman is in this deranged fit
172
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.159
sitting here and it's clearing, the
reality of the situation is starting to hit
173
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:00.000
me, and we get this lady
up. We have to take her back
174
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.559
to the campsite because we can't take
it to the lodges, we can't take
175
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.159
it to the hospital. We have
to get back to the campsite where everyone
176
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.919
else is and that's where her kid
is. All right, So it's the
177
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.879
end of part one. Let's unpack
what we just went through here. So
178
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.960
they went camping. Sam and his
friend with camping to Michigan an hiking trip
179
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.000
and not their first hike out into
the woods, they see this staircase perfectly
180
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.759
Pristine's staircase. Some reason, he
feels like he needs to go touch the
181
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.480
stairs. He's getting this feeling.
It's attracting him. It seems to be
182
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:37.039
glowing. Even he runs up steps
on the first step, his friend Sam
183
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.000
pulls him off. He's like,
why the heck did you pull me off
184
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.200
so hard? What's going on?
He said, you're having a seizure.
185
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:45.360
But to him, he just felt
like he was almost having this outer body
186
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.600
experience with his vibrations and just a
weird sense of feeling. As they're going
187
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.080
back the park ranger somehow he tells
the park ranger about this, and the
188
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.320
park ranger is very upset that he
stepped on the steps. And at first
189
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.879
he's confused, like, why is
this guy so upset upset that I stepped
190
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.080
on these steps? Like it's this
a national landmark? Of these steps important?
191
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.440
Are they significant? He says,
I'm not worried about the steps.
192
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.120
It's something didn't happen to you,
something happened to somebody else. As we
193
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.399
get into part two of this store, I mean, excuse me. As
194
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.159
we got on the second part of
part one, we discovered that the next
195
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.799
morning and early morning, they found
out I think it was before the sun
196
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.720
rise, that one of the campers
there was missing. It was a child's
197
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.399
mom was missing. They went into
the woods, and this is where I'm
198
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.600
gonna I don't want to mix it
up, Jack. They found her where
199
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:33.639
the steps were, yes, right, but they weren't there. Now the
200
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.480
steps are not there. What was
she saying? She was saying some weird
201
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.399
things about this. Yes, she
was saying, uh, you know,
202
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.519
it took took forever to find her, took several days to find her,
203
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.559
even though it was only about an
hour or so. She was saying that
204
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:54.240
something told her she wake by the
steps and that they'd be safe there,
205
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.720
and she looked like, yah,
she has just been dragged around and been
206
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.600
in the woods for days, been
in the wood for days, ragged,
207
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.759
tired in Hungary. In reality,
she's only been in the woods for a
208
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.240
few hours at tops, and she
wasn't far into the woods right now,
209
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.200
not from where they were, because
they had just gotten there from campsite.
210
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:15.799
So that's where we left off here. We'll get into a party here in
211
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.320
a minute. But what's your guys
feelings here? When you first read through
212
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.480
part one of this, I think
that people are actually pretty rational, you
213
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.639
know, like, yeah, if
you see some steps in the woods,
214
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.080
he'd be very tempted to be like, well I want to get up on
215
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.200
those steps. I kind of check
goes out unless you heard about this being
216
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:37.759
a saying both different places like we
have before, and so like this does
217
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.399
make sense for them to do this, as he said. And also I
218
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.039
feel like even the ranger, even
though he's kind of like scared of this
219
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.919
happening, he wasn't too aggressive with
how he handled the situation. He was
220
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.240
like, did you do this?
Just tell me right now? The way
221
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.360
we know what's going on next,
And so I thought, this is kind
222
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.519
of a yeah, Jacson, pre
rational reactions by everybody so far, you
223
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.000
put yourself in the person's shoes.
They had this happen to them, though,
224
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.879
and it probably seems like the rangers
acting a little bit odd. And
225
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:15.080
he's so worried about these stairs.
Yeah, but the size of the woods
226
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.440
and the amount of people there,
the ranger couldn't be everywhere at once,
227
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.759
so therefore he didn't able to stop
that. But I guess that's something.
228
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.080
Do you bring that up beforehand or
is that actually gonna make somebody step on
229
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.480
the stairs? You know? Yeah, I would definitely, you know,
230
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.559
increase the temptation, But also I
do wonder, well, rather not wonder.
231
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:35.120
But it does seem to line up
with what most park rangers or search
232
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.799
and rescue teams say is it's like
just kind of leave the stairs alone.
233
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:39.639
They don't really get it into it
too much, so
