Most people step into them and they're just kind of looking at their watches, hoping they'll get to the next store, next floor.

Why are they such a magical, I don't know, ride for you?

Okay, so let's talk about this fixation.

Is it the buttons?

Is it the movement?

Is it the mechanism on the top of the building in that room that nobody ever sees?

Or is it just all of it?

So it's the tactics.

Tactile touching of the buttons, the lighting of the buttons, the feeling of the motion, the doors closing, all of it.

Yeah, the sounds.

Now, what you have done, you've taken this childhood fixation, fascination, and you've turned it into a hobby where you've filmed and cataloged and researched and educated about...

elevators online in videos.

I mean, you've been doing it even before YouTube existed.

And your videos, like hundreds of thousands of people follow you.

They love your videos.

In some sense, to me at least, it seems like you invented a new hobby.

Were there other people before you?

Well, look, I'm sure there is a great community online of people who love elevators, but when I watch your videos, and I have, and I love them, it's not so much that I love elevators, Andrew, it's that your enthusiasm for them is almost infectious.

It's like your joy and your interest and your knowledge as you educate us in these videos is so fun to watch.

Like, I watch videos about quantum mechanics.
