Shane I struggle to gain weight too. I am currently where you were last year - right on the edge of it being an emergency - and it’s a scary place to be. I’m so happy your health has improved and I hope I can join you in that! 💪
You guys should look into the concept of “The 12 Week Year!” It’s basically setting goals/resolutions in 3 month increments (12 weeks) instead of a full year. So instead of having a month to work on something, you have a week, and it feels a lot more doable and it stays in your mind/there’s less time to avoid it! I don’t follow it super strictly, but I have started to look at my goals in this way and it’s super helpful for me as someone else who has always hated “5 year plans” and goal setting lol. The best part of this is that just like at the end of normal year you have a holiday break, you’re supposed to schedule a break/holiday/vacation at the end of every 12 weeks to celebrate what you completed in that time!
My grandma use to say this☺️She even went by the 30 day rule as in making your bed every morning for 30 days and it becomes habit. You just do it automatically 🤷I try to do this along with your 3 months rule☺️😉
I love this! You two are so cute. If you want to chat about ways to gain weight, I am a dietitian and I'm in LA, and I would love to do a free session with you! Thanks for the light that you both bring to the world. 😊
2:23 - "Shane has not had one bite of ice cream this entire year." +looks at the calendar - January 4th+ OH MY GOD!!! NEITHER HAVE I!!! +runs for the emergency ice cream supply+ 😂🤣😂🤣😂
You two never let me down when it comes to putting a smile on my face. A beautiful couple that the world should be so lucky to have more of.. PS: I love these podcasts!! I WISH you two would do a show in upstate NY. I'd be in the front row cheering you on. Intro's... You could alternate doing them. You both as so good at this!
Sounds like you two are officially, Young Snow Birds and I'm so happy for you both!! I hope you both, experience lots of fun adventures and savor a variety of wonderful food, while you're enjoying the beautiful scenery and warmer weather. I truly enjoy seeing the obvious amount of love and respect you have towards each other, it gives me hope that some day, my specially challenged son, will find his soulmate too. Thank you for helping the disabled community open up people's eyes and showing just because someone needs a little extra help for daily tasks, it doesn't mean they can't have and experience the same things in life. You're an inspiration to many specially challenged individuals and also to their parents. Much Love and Hugs to you both and to your families!!
Hannah, you have such a gift for storytelling and I love listening to the podcast. You are so good at building up the suspense and giving all of the details but in a funny and relatable way.
I admire the way you two communicate, sometimes actually finishing on another’s sentence, which is typical of very close friends that know one another completely.
You both had great ideas for the nursery...do Beatrix Potter murals on the walls, get a comfortable rocking chair with velvet cushion and backrest and do a children's library of Little Golden Books, Disney, Dr. Seuss, etc.
I really wish you guys luck with IVF. My wife and I story contains too many losses. We now have two incredible sons that are full of life because of IVF. Being a parent is so challenging and rewarding. There are support groups out there for couples going through infertility. My Wife and I found support with Sarah's Laughter support groups. I just thought I would put this information out there incase some one needed it. I wish you guys the best in growing your Family.
Hi 👋🏻 guys, I just wanted to share with you, my thoughts that I had while watching this addition of junkyard Mayham.. As always, you guys are an inspiration to me for remaining hopeful that I may one day find true love again. . I watch you guys every time you put out a video just to see your interactions and banter and the way you guys are so deeply connected. It’s just beautiful to witness, and it reminds me of how good it can feel to have a best friend that you’re in love with. But today, I was thinking about something that comes up often in your videos… Shane… the recurring idea that you cannot rest and put work down. Makes me a little bit worried.. I worry because as somebody who has a debilitating health condition myself, I have struggled with self-worth and what others think of me as a “valuable participant in the world”, and I know that I have struggled without being able to rest and relax because I did not want to ever be viewed as worthless or a sponge on family… etc… I just wanted to put the idea in your ear that you provide an incredible amount of love and value in this world, without having to accomplish any “goals” or physically manifest anything. I don’t know if I’m capable of articulating my feelings properly, put the gist of it is, please remember that you are a human being who deserves every single wonderful pleasure of life and you do not have to be constantly producing work to prove you’re a valuable contribution to your family and this world. You do not have to prove anything other than God loves you and you are a radiant white light… Please know that I see your beauty and your value to this world… you are so much more than just working and producing proof of your contribution. Your laughter, your humour, your kindness, your generosity. Your mind is your gift and your spirit is your beauty. Does that make sense? I hope that it does, and that you’re not at all offended by my thoughts. I’m just coming from my own personal struggle and at 48 years old, just now learning how to relax …. And maybe soon…. I’ll even enjoy it… lol😂 I love you guys and your whole family and will be praying for health, Wealth and happiness ….. (and little babies) in 2023-infinity Your friend in Massachusetts
I actually love both nursery ideas. Hannah, you want Beatrix Potter characters and Shane wants library themed. It wouldn't have to be dark to be library themed. Maybe visit the children's area of your local library for some ideas. My personal thought would be one wall, maybe the accent wall, could be painted like book shelves with the book ends looking like children's books. Maybe have a shelf dedicated to y'alls favorite books, like I'd totally have the Twilight book series up on that "shelf" and my sister would have all of the Harry Potter books. I think it would be so adorable. Pastel colors are even possible with this. I hope you all share photos once you've got one. I can't wait to see what your mutually incredible and opposite minds come up with on this. I wish I could be young again and have a nursery for my daughter who is now almost 23. If I'm lucky she'll allow me to help with hers if she decides to have children lol
Hannah Aylward and Shane Burkaw scam folks off of thier "Open Revenue Fake Love Relationship". You do know that know that right and they're a verbal and signed contract such as a NDA.
Why a negative comment? They genuinely like and enjoy each other, they work together, they have a supportive family and it clearly shows they have a good relationship.
I liked the part of the discussion about the dog walks. I especially liked how Hannah mentioned that Shane's resolution about alcohol and his resolution about going on more walks with Hannah and the dog and Hannah's resolution about taking the dog on more enriching walks would perhaps all intertwine and naturally support each other! And being in the nice weather will definitely help make those goals easier to accomplish when you actually want to and can be outside! Plus, many studies have been done on how to establish new habits. Replacing old habits with new ones (like going on walks rather than staying behind and having a drink) makes your chances of success higher. And typically if you can do it for about 8 weeks consistently, then it is more likely to become and ingrained habit rather than a conscious decision you have to make every time. So 3 months in great weather and surrounded by various enriching environments for walks and how supportive you are of each other is really giving you both a much higher chance for success. And Hannah, maybe those walks in enriching environments will be a catalyst in your goal of being more open to exploring exercise. You did extreme exercise that was probably mandatory for the high level you were in for your sport. Exercise doesn't have to be zero or extremely grueling. And there are a zillion ways that you can get exercise that doesn't feel like a chore because it's fun. Like going out dancing, going for walks in fun different settings, joining a friendly recreational team sport like volleyball or basketball or water polo or whatever might interest you. There are video gaming systems that are physical and get you up and moving and even breaking a sweat, and you don't realize it because it was just a ton of fun in the moment. You guys will make progress through trying these goals, whether you feel you accomplished them or not. Excellent podcast! Thank you both!
I know it must seem strange that Shane and Hannah are so open about things like using the bathroom BUT I hope Shane and Hannah you know how much of a help you being open and honest helps those who face your challenges. My son has Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita and cannot use his hands at all. It has been with the openness of others who cannot use their hands that have helped give us ideas to help my son be able to accomplish somethings. People like you two actually change peoples lives. You guys are so funny as well. Don’t change a thing about your podcasts and things.
@@lovineveryminuetofit1314 so you sit there and talk about how you use the bathroom on video? Thats awesome. I don’t. But lets not even go there trying to shame me. I know I said nothing wrong. To some being open and honest about how you use the bathroom is strange. I’m sure they understood exactly what I meant.
Was Shane able to attend mainstream schools? Home schooling was not the norm during his educational years. Special Education does not provide equivalent training from mainstreaming here in California 😮💨 Shane's intelligence would be satisfied within SE environment, so I thought he would not mind giving details of his educational experience. I'll appreciate your input
Hi! I am very new to your channel. I watch RUclips through Roku, and one of your videos popped up in the recommendations a week or two ago. So, I have watched some of your oldest videos and some of your newest. I have subscribed; so, I will be watching your new videos and sifting through earlier ones. I admit, that for little more than a nanosecond, some of the "negative" comments you deal with passed through my mind. However, it took no time at all to see the sincerity of love in Hannah's eyes and actions! What an amazing person! It also took no time at all to see Shane's confidence in that love. I'm a retired English teacher; so, I have to battle being too wordy or corny! You two are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on the weight gain! And the Escape to LA! Safe travels, have a blast, soak up the sun! Looking forward to hearing about your California adventures!❤
It's been a very very long time since I originally stumbled across you two, and your story. I had totally forgotten about you both until now and I don't know how you came back up in my feed, but I'm glad you did. I have to admit, I was a skeptic at first (to be fair, this is not something common that I see in the world) and had my doubts years ago. But it's really cool to see that you both still exist and both still seem happy. I'm sold now, and I'm convinced this isn't some weird stunt. (I'm a little ashamed that I ever had doubt in your story, or judged what I saw, but again, it's not common to see and was a learning experience for me). I'm starting to believe in you two. Keep up the healthy relationship! And thanks for sharing your story for others to learn from. Cheers guys.
I have a problem with weight. My dr told me to get a notebook & keep my weight documented daily, weekly,. Because I have a hard time gaining but losing weight is not a problem. IF I had support from my family like Shane does, I might gain a few pounds. But that'll never happen. Watching these guys settle my nerves & I love watching them. They're always there for each other. God Bless'em!
Really enjoyed this video, as always!! I love the idea of a barnyard mayhem mural! Thank you so, so much for adding the excellent closed captions - it makes a huge difference for me, as a deaf person ❤️. Xxx
Congratulations Shane! As someone who also has trouble maintaining appropriate weight (although, admittedly in the other direction), I know it can be frustrating and low-key traumatic to constantly struggle with this issue. Best wishes to you for further success.
Thin pretzel sticks, fat free to be precise, were the key to surviving both of my pregnancies. The ratio of salt to pretzel stick is perfect, and pretzels go with everything. Try them with V8. And FANTASTIC news about the 7lbs, Shane! If you want any more, I have plenty to donate to you. 😆 Best wishes and safe travels. 🌻
im so happy to hear about Shanes weight gain. way too often people only focus on weight loss and that can be an alienating feeling. I have asd/adhd and all the other fun that comes with that and because of this I've been underweight my whole life. last week at my doctors appointment I weighed the most I've ever weighed in my whole life and I cannot even describe the joy that brought me. I've been the same weight since my early high school and im 24 now. 20lbs I gained this year!! Hearing you have the same amazing news as me is so freaking validating! way to go Shane!! ps im celebrating my now healthy weight by signing up to donate blood
I love all you do, your mannerisms, knowledge, how you two relate, your presentations, honesty, Shane’s humor, all and more! Beatrix Potter theme is great! (I had a brother in-law with MD; miss him so much.) God bless you both!
Not ganna lie I wondered what your podcast would entail and I wasn't sure if I'd watch it, but I have now religiously watched every ep and can honestly say I listen and laugh and learn everytime. Love yall Xx
SHAAAAAANE, you NEED to try pretzel crisps!!!! They have flavored one AND plain ones and they are super thin and crispy and SOOOOOOOO delicious!!!!!! Also, pretzels and beer... chef's kiss!
Congratulations Shane. As someone whose been underweight their entire adult life from Crohn’s disease, I’m genuinely happy for you. I have to work on weight gain with much healthier choices than you made though. Bit jealous about the pretzels and beer. Thanks to the two of you for making a podcast that always improves my mood.
I was just about to start a yoga video and saw the thumbnail for today's podcast so I guess I'll be stretching to this instead 😆. Hopefully I don't fall over from laughing. I can't contain myself when you two share stories and banter.
(I know you guys probably won't see this but anyway) Both of your resolutions are similar to mine... Lol I was actually doing yoga this morning as part of this year's resolution to move my body more, but it's taken me about a decade of "resolving to being open to the idea of exercising" before I actually got to this point 😂 also I need to eat more often. I've put on 70 lbs since the pandemic began (in a good way!!) and now I'm getting into weight lifting. Hannah, I think you'd enjoy weight lifting because it's challenging/builds grip strength and/or HIIT (high intensity interval training) because it's dynamic and can be done quickly in an efficient manner. I like to incorporate weight lifting and HIIT together.. It's not so much a chore when you enjoy what you're doing. Also, Shane, I found myself wondering if maybe some of your attachment to drinking has to do with the stigma of "maturity" attached to the ability to drink. I mention this because when I was quitting smoking, part of that was coming to terms with the misconception that formed in childhood that made smoking seem like a distinguished or adult behavior. Just an idea. I allow myself to drink, but I almost never touch alcohol anymore. There are so many more ways to relax and enjoy this life.. Especially once a baby comes along. I believe 100% that you can quit drinking (I didn't think Hannah was being mean in saying 20%,lol,she was being honest) I'm cheering you both on 🎉🎉
Welcome back to LA 🎉 The weather is not too sunny yet but we are spoiled so anything under 70 we are complaining. I’m in the OC but work in LA . If you want to venture out and want something not as fast paced and take a break from traffic- come down for the beautiful beaches, shopping and food ! Newport, Laguna beach, and San juan Capistrano have great spots - and missions!
Agreed!!! I was raised in Orange County and finally moved to LA in later adulthood. My favorite beach of all time will always be Laguna Beach-outside of San Diego. Lol
This was my first podcast episode tuning in and it had me screaming laughing!! You two are so funny. Definitely will be listening to the rest of these and keeping up 🥰
For real though I think you guys could blend Beatrix Potter and library into a beautiful Beatrix Potter library themed nursery 😎 like dark oak furniture and woodland tree themes with pastel walls and textiles and a cosy little reading chair and pictures of the characters 🥺
shane I have cp and couldnt walk for two years... you responded to my post I learned to walk again! I refused to give up everyone said you need a wheelchair I refused got a scotter now I can walk without hanging on to the walls.. working on using taxis ( I cant get in independently) walking long distances with wheelchair and walking unassisted... I almost died going septic I had lost hope... so I just watched you to and prayed like hell... love you... I am now okay with what I can and cant do... my family believed that I should be able to walk and never accepted my walker they literally told me to not bring it and left it in the hall to not get there floor wet....they did not visit or care when I couldnt walk they told me bc I was getting lazy and fat and " if I wanted to I could walk without holding on to anything like I used to....they bullied me into depression.... they refused to accept my disability and my struggle I had no one...now I wont go to any family events.. why do some family members of disabled people refuse to accept your disability and in the end abuse you? I dont get it
@@jdelano6171 all my friends say this in my book I will address this issue how I became an annoying burden and how they used the medical model of disability to abuse me in elementary school and highschool I wasnt allowed to use assistive devices so I fell up to 10 times a day cracked my head open 2 times they left me in snow banks and walked right past me sometimes for an hour as I struggled to get up they refused to make anything accessable I had to walk up deadly stairs with no railing to this dasy I dont know how I survived it. my book will be done in 2 years. I believe I had a narristic family and I was there target
Hi, I’m a new subscriber and have been watching a lot of your videos, so fun! It’s so nice to see a couple who enjoy each other so much 😊 I love Shane’s sense of humor! 😂 Good vibes coming your way ✌️🥰
Shane I’ve been so worried. I have complex gastrointestinal issues, and tube feeding SUCKS, but intravenous feeding is even more intense and dying from malnutrition is obviously worse! I really hope you can stay healthy without tubes 🤞🤞🤞🤞 Edit: yes!! What a win dude!! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
I can always count on you two to make me giggle. Never know what you will come up with. Congrats on gaining some weight, Shane. I love thin pretzel sticks! I dip them in Pub cheese I buy at Trader Joe's. Have a wonderful time on your trip, guys! Hope you will take us a long like you usually do. Love your fun trips. I am originally from the Los Angeles area. ENJOY! By the way, I am praying for you on your pregnancy journey ~ can't wait for you two to be parents ~ a very blessed baby indeed❤🙏
Be careful, even in LA, A whole lot of rain and mud slides. Bad weather, definitely what we're not used to..But, the temp is still warmer than what you're used to this time of year.
Hannah can't deny the mermaid part of her. Shane, good luck with the lower alcohol. You can do it! You guys do know a lot of your success of your keeping the resolutions will depend on the support you give each other. Laughing through the changing life style is vital and fun!
Welcome to Southern California! It is cold (OK... Not as cold as Minnesota) and has been raining for about a week, and expected to rain more in the next 10 days. We have an atmospheric river roaring through the west coast. So, enjoy your first couple of weeks here (at least). 🥶🤧
Cafe Laurent in Culver City is probably the best breakfast I have ever had. We just happened to drive by when we were in CA for an air show and it was amazing. 😋
This was the best one so far - I laughed a lot, thank you both! You really are so good together. My sons were obsessed with Robot Wars tv programme we had here in England, which sounds similar to your Battlebots. They even cost me a fortune buying a weekly magazine with "free" parts attached to build their own robot. We also had Beatrix Potter themed bedrooms and the whole collection of stories for bedtime reading. Now, thanks to your combination of ideas, I'm picturing Peter Rabbit riding on Sir Killalot and taking on Mr McGregor with a motorised spinning pitchfork! 😜🤣
You're never mean to him hannah. I love your relationship. You're going to feel that strength come back after just one to two weeks of repetitive motion. You really can feel the difference quickly with a minimum amount of resistance. I'm happy for you.
Hey Glad for the new video, I was having S&G withdrawals 😊 But what happened to the new wheelchair? I really should have watched all your past videos in the date order, so I wouldn't be confused on what happened when, oh well. You guys are great to watch, makes me laugh every time! Keep up the great videos.
I love your stories! I think Hannah should open for your podcast for a change! 😆🥰 Your trip for 3 months sounds so much fun and warm! ☺️🤗🥰 Glad that Hannah's mom will be there to help also.🥰
Omg your mention of Beatrix Potter just brought back deep childhood memories I'd totally forgotten about! I loved Puddleduck, I think I even had a stuffed animal of her somehow? Another great podcast guys!! :)
My trainer used to have me use this stick with a rope in the middle of it. The end of the rope had a circle weight (like from a barbell) tied to the end. You hold it out in front of you and twist the rope around the the stick, lifting the weight all the up to the stick, then twist the other way to lower it. It really worked my grip and forearms
its not really sympathy weight there are actual hormonal changes, testosterone lowers and estragon rises to prepare for caring for the baby same thing happens in birds where both parents raise the babies
Heck, having kids will help - someone (typically a parent or the family dog) has to eat all the sandwich crusts, half-eaten chicken nuggets, and rejected meals from the kids! The glamorous side of parenting is scarfing these sad meals over a sink so you don't have to dirty another dish. 😅
The reminds me of the time Shane talked so much about his delicious "warmies". I then went to my local grocery store and asked them where they were located....I did NOT know that was his made up name for them. 🤣
I am also in the habit of drinking a beer or glass of wine after work (yeah "iffy" is a good description for me too...). I have had success with substituting it with alcohol free beer to try to reduce... Other things I've found work are grapefruit juice or kombucha, maybe a CBD infused drink if I can find it. Since personally I found it to be also a habit of sitting with a nice drink at the end of the day to decompress. Thought I'd drop these ideas here incase you find it tricky! Good luck with your reduction Shane I hope you have some success with it! 🤞
For Hannah's first resolution: this was my 2022 goal and I wholeheartedly expected to fail but I joined a ninja gym (like American Ninja Warrior but way easier) and truly fell in love with the sport. I look forward to going to the gym now, the ninja community is incredibly welcoming and encouraging, and I have absolutely significantly improved my upper body strength. I cannot recommend ninja enough, and it feels like being a kid on a playground again, not like working out
Shane, You could use a condom catheter with a legbag for airplane flights or even road trips. Condom catheters come in a variety of sizes and most are self-adhesive. I recommend the Hollister legbags and they come in two sizes. You can request free samples from most urological supply companies. When Hannah asked "what was your SAT score" I could tell that hit well below the belt, but you deserved it for that 'no wiping' comment.
Once u bring another life into ur world, it all changes. It's never the same again. Make certain ur solid first. It's hard being a parent. Especially if the other person is opposing u all the time. It's not easy. Please enjoy ur time together now. U need that foundation.
Oh! For a nursery theme combining both of your esthetics and likes, what about like a bookshelf with a stack of books and a stuffed Peter Rabbit sitting on top of them, or maybe in the mural you could have one of the characters wearing little reading glasses and reading a book by a stream in the sun or sitting in an armchair. Things like that maybe could work? Also, congrats on gaining some weight Shane! Glad to hear it! And I hope you guys enjoy your trip to the warm weather, have fun!
I applauded for the 7 pound weight gain congratulations. That’s great news
Just joined- You guys were meant to be together, Love you both! From Greenville, Ohio+ Birthplace of "Annie Oakley" 😂🙏😁❤️
Shane I struggle to gain weight too. I am currently where you were last year - right on the edge of it being an emergency - and it’s a scary place to be. I’m so happy your health has improved and I hope I can join you in that! 💪
The only podcast to promote weight gain in the new year! Lol Way to go Shane!
You guys should look into the concept of “The 12 Week Year!” It’s basically setting goals/resolutions in 3 month increments (12 weeks) instead of a full year.

The best part of this is that just like at the end of normal year you have a holiday break, you’re supposed to schedule a break/holiday/vacation at the end of every 12 weeks to celebrate what you completed in that time!
My grandma use to say this☺️She even went by the 30 day rule as in making your bed every morning for 30 days and it becomes habit. You just do it automatically 🤷I try to do this along with your 3 months rule☺️😉
Some do ot in seasons too. Like what to finish by the start of Spring. Then during Spring, during Summer, During Fall, then by the end of the year.
Shane's TMI moments are the best. I just love his humor. Good episode.
I love this! You two are so cute. If you want to chat about ways to gain weight, I am a dietitian and I'm in LA, and I would love to do a free session with you! Thanks for the light that you both bring to the world. 😊
Oh, Hannah!!! 💕
My kids LOVED Arthur, Dragon Tales, and Tale Spin!!! And, let’s not forget Between the Lions and Reading Rainbow!
I vote Shane does the intros, now and forever more! Because he “is the one trained in capturing the minds” . . .
Setting meal and snack alarms on your phones can help immensely! Way to go Shane!👍
2:23 - "Shane has not had one bite of ice cream this entire year."
+looks at the calendar - January 4th+ OH MY GOD!!! NEITHER HAVE I!!! +runs for the emergency ice cream supply+
😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂😂😂❤
🤣🤣🤣 Same!!
😆🤣

Decorating the baby's room made me grin so hard that my eyes were watering and my cheeks hurt. You two are a hoot!
Hello Ludington how are you doing,
where are you from?
OWLS! haha
You two never let me down when it comes to putting a smile on my face. A beautiful couple that the world should be so lucky to have more of.. PS: I love these podcasts!! I WISH you two would do a show in upstate NY. I'd be in the front row cheering you on.
Intro's... You could alternate doing them. You both as so good at this!
Sounds like you two are officially, Young Snow Birds and I'm so happy for you both!! I hope you both, experience lots of fun adventures and savor a variety of wonderful food, while you're enjoying the beautiful scenery and warmer weather. I truly enjoy seeing the obvious amount of love and respect you have towards each other, it gives me hope that some day, my specially challenged son, will find his soulmate too.

Hey Shane, remember that staying alive is key to being productive!
Hannah, you have such a gift for storytelling and I love listening to the podcast. You are so good at building up the suspense and giving all of the details but in a funny and relatable way.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I admire the way you two communicate, sometimes actually finishing on another’s sentence, which is typical of very close friends that know one another completely.
You both had great ideas for the nursery...do Beatrix Potter murals on the walls, get a comfortable rocking chair with velvet cushion and backrest and do a children's library of Little Golden Books, Disney, Dr. Seuss, etc.
Shane never fails to crack me up, thank you guys
“Can you build me up” I giggled but also was like aweee❤
I really wish you guys luck with IVF. My wife and I story contains too many losses. We now have two incredible sons that are full of life because of IVF. Being a parent is so challenging and rewarding. There are support groups out there for couples going through infertility. My Wife and I found support with Sarah's Laughter support groups. I just thought I would put this information out there incase some one needed it. I wish you guys the best in growing your Family.
Hi 👋🏻 guys, I just wanted to share with you, my thoughts that I had while watching this addition of junkyard Mayham..
As always, you guys are an inspiration to me for remaining hopeful that I may one day find true love again. . I watch you guys every time you put out a video just to see your interactions and banter and the way you guys are so deeply connected. It’s just beautiful to witness, and it reminds me of how good it can feel to have a best friend that you’re in love with.
But today, I was thinking about something that comes up often in your videos… Shane… the recurring idea that you cannot rest and put work down. Makes me a little bit worried.. I worry because as somebody who has a debilitating health condition myself, I have struggled with self-worth and what others think of me as a “valuable participant in the world”, and I know that I have struggled without being able to rest and relax because I did not want to ever be viewed as worthless or a sponge on family… etc…
I just wanted to put the idea in your ear that you provide an incredible amount of love and value in this world, without having to accomplish any “goals” or physically manifest anything.
I don’t know if I’m capable of articulating my feelings properly, put the gist of it is, please remember that you are a human being who deserves every single wonderful pleasure of life and you do not have to be constantly producing work to prove you’re a valuable contribution to your family and this world. You do not have to prove anything other than God loves you and you are a radiant white light…
Please know that I see your beauty and your value to this world… you are so much more than just working and producing proof of your contribution. Your laughter, your humour, your kindness, your generosity. Your mind is your gift and your spirit is your beauty.
Does that make sense? I hope that it does, and that you’re not at all offended by my thoughts. I’m just coming from my own personal struggle and at 48 years old, just now learning how to relax …. And maybe soon…. I’ll even enjoy it… lol😂
I love you guys and your whole family and will be praying for health, Wealth and happiness ….. (and little babies) in 2023-infinity
Your friend in Massachusetts
This was so beautifully said Laurie!
I also have a disability that convinces me I won't find love, so Shane and Hannah are an inspiration to me as well!
Very well said!
I know you weren't speaking to ME, but I get it.
Wow
Congrats Shane! Gotta say you have been looking especially glowing these past couple weeks ✨
From someone listening far and sad, congrats on the gains!!
I actually love both nursery ideas. Hannah, you want Beatrix Potter characters and Shane wants library themed. It wouldn't have to be dark to be library themed. Maybe visit the children's area of your local library for some ideas. My personal thought would be one wall, maybe the accent wall, could be painted like book shelves with the book ends looking like children's books. Maybe have a shelf dedicated to y'alls favorite books, like I'd totally have the Twilight book series up on that "shelf" and my sister would have all of the Harry Potter books. I think it would be so adorable. Pastel colors are even possible with this. I hope you all share photos once you've got one. I can't wait to see what your mutually incredible and opposite minds come up with on this. I wish I could be young again and have a nursery for my daughter who is now almost 23. If I'm lucky she'll allow me to help with hers if she decides to have children lol
Two of the most attractive people I swear. Along with one of the most healthy relationships I’ve seen. What an incredible couple ❤️
Incredibly FAKE!
As perfect as it may seem, not all that glitters is gold.
Hannah Aylward and Shane Burkaw scam folks off of thier "Open Revenue Fake Love Relationship".
You do know that know that right and they're a verbal and signed contract such as a NDA.
Why a negative comment? They genuinely like and enjoy each other, they work together, they have a supportive family and it clearly shows they have a good relationship.
@@Breakingball1 Shane Burkaw and Hannah Aylward are frauds and scammers.
❤ These two certainly deserve the 1.1 million subscribers!!!🎉
I'm so happy to see this video about your weight gain! Congratulations on escaping the cold, another wise decision. Love you both, stay happy!
I liked the part of the discussion about the dog walks. I especially liked how Hannah mentioned that Shane's resolution about alcohol and his resolution about going on more walks with Hannah and the dog and Hannah's resolution about taking the dog on more enriching walks would perhaps all intertwine and naturally support each other!
And being in the nice weather will definitely help make those goals easier to accomplish when you actually want to and can be outside!
Plus, many studies have been done on how to establish new habits. Replacing old habits with new ones (like going on walks rather than staying behind and having a drink) makes your chances of success higher.
And typically if you can do it for about 8 weeks consistently, then it is more likely to become and ingrained habit rather than a conscious decision you have to make every time. So 3 months in great weather and surrounded by various enriching environments for walks and how supportive you are of each other is really giving you both a much higher chance for success.
And Hannah, maybe those walks in enriching environments will be a catalyst in your goal of being more open to exploring exercise.
You did extreme exercise that was probably mandatory for the high level you were in for your sport.
Exercise doesn't have to be zero or extremely grueling. And there are a zillion ways that you can get exercise that doesn't feel like a chore because it's fun. Like going out dancing, going for walks in fun different settings, joining a friendly recreational team sport like volleyball or basketball or water polo or whatever might interest you.
There are video gaming systems that are physical and get you up and moving and even breaking a sweat, and you don't realize it because it was just a ton of fun in the moment.
You guys will make progress through trying these goals, whether you feel you accomplished them or not.
Excellent podcast!
Thank you both!
I know it must seem strange that Shane and Hannah are so open about things like using the bathroom BUT I hope Shane and Hannah you know how much of a help you being open and honest helps those who face your challenges. My son has Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita and cannot use his hands at all. It has been with the openness of others who cannot use their hands that have helped give us ideas to help my son be able to accomplish somethings. People like you two actually change peoples lives. You guys are so funny as well. Don’t change a thing about your podcasts and things.
Who said it was strange? Wow so not necessary! Why would you even say that?
@@lovineveryminuetofit1314 so you sit there and talk about how you use the bathroom on video? Thats awesome. I don’t. But lets not even go there trying to shame me. I know I said nothing wrong. To some being open and honest about how you use the bathroom is strange. I’m sure they understood exactly what I meant.
Hannah, you killed me with, “I would make you into a kitchen gadget”!!!
Learning that Shane is a grammar nerd makes me adore him even more 🥰😘
My daughter is the same way 🤣❣️
Was Shane able to attend mainstream schools? Home schooling was not the norm during his educational years. Special Education does not provide equivalent training from mainstreaming here in California 😮💨
Shane's intelligence would be satisfied within SE environment, so I thought he would not mind giving details of his educational experience. I'll appreciate your input
Hi! I am very new to your channel. I watch RUclips through Roku, and one of your videos popped up in the recommendations a week or two ago. So, I have watched some of your oldest videos and some of your newest. I have subscribed; so, I will be watching your new videos and sifting through earlier ones. I admit, that for little more than a nanosecond, some of the "negative" comments you deal with passed through my mind. However, it took no time at all to see the sincerity of love in Hannah's eyes and actions! What an amazing person! It also took no time at all to see Shane's confidence in that love. I'm a retired English teacher; so, I have to battle being too wordy or corny! You two are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on the weight gain! And the Escape to LA! Safe travels, have a blast, soak up the sun! Looking forward to hearing about your California adventures!❤
It's been a very very long time since I originally stumbled across you two, and your story. I had totally forgotten about you both until now and I don't know how you came back up in my feed, but I'm glad you did. I have to admit, I was a skeptic at first (to be fair, this is not something common that I see in the world) and had my doubts years ago. But it's really cool to see that you both still exist and both still seem happy. I'm sold now, and I'm convinced this isn't some weird stunt. (I'm a little ashamed that I ever had doubt in your story, or judged what I saw, but again, it's not common to see and was a learning experience for me). I'm starting to believe in you two. Keep up the healthy relationship! And thanks for sharing your story for others to learn from. Cheers guys.
I have a problem with weight. My dr told me to get a notebook & keep my weight documented daily, weekly,. Because I have a hard time gaining but losing weight is not a problem. IF I had support from my family like Shane does, I might gain a few pounds. But that'll never happen. Watching these guys settle my nerves & I love watching them. They're always there for each other. God Bless'em!
Really enjoyed this video, as always!! I love the idea of a barnyard mayhem mural! Thank you so, so much for adding the excellent closed captions - it makes a huge difference for me, as a deaf person ❤️. Xxx
Congrats on the weight gain, Shane!
I laughed soooo hard when you called your nursery theme Barnyard Mayhem 🤣
Have a safe trip!
Shane does look really healthy..great complexion! Happy new year you all! Thanks for sharing your life, I really enjoy listening to you both.
Congratulations Shane! As someone who also has trouble maintaining appropriate weight (although, admittedly in the other direction), I know it can be frustrating and low-key traumatic to constantly struggle with this issue. Best wishes to you for further success.
Thin pretzel sticks, fat free to be precise, were the key to surviving both of my pregnancies. The ratio of salt to pretzel stick is perfect, and pretzels go with everything. Try them with V8.
And FANTASTIC news about the 7lbs, Shane! If you want any more, I have plenty to donate to you. 😆
Best wishes and safe travels. 🌻
im so happy to hear about Shanes weight gain. way too often people only focus on weight loss and that can be an alienating feeling. I have asd/adhd and all the other fun that comes with that and because of this I've been underweight my whole life. last week at my doctors appointment I weighed the most I've ever weighed in my whole life and I cannot even describe the joy that brought me. I've been the same weight since my early high school and im 24 now. 20lbs I gained this year!! Hearing you have the same amazing news as me is so freaking validating! way to go Shane!!
ps im celebrating my now healthy weight by signing up to donate blood
I love all you do, your mannerisms, knowledge, how you two relate, your presentations, honesty, Shane’s humor, all and more! Beatrix Potter theme is great! (I had a brother in-law with MD; miss him so much.) God bless you both!
Not ganna lie I wondered what your podcast would entail and I wasn't sure if I'd watch it, but I have now religiously watched every ep and can honestly say I listen and laugh and learn everytime. Love yall Xx
Lov the podcast today yesterday!! Safe travels to LA 🚎🚗 I hope you guys do one of your travel videos 😀❤
SHAAAAAANE, you NEED to try pretzel crisps!!!! They have flavored one AND plain ones and they are super thin and crispy and SOOOOOOOO delicious!!!!!! Also, pretzels and beer... chef's kiss!
Congratulations Shane. As someone whose been underweight their entire adult life from Crohn’s disease, I’m genuinely happy for you. I have to work on weight gain with much healthier choices than you made though. Bit jealous about the pretzels and beer.
Thanks to the two of you for making a podcast that always improves my mood.
I was just about to start a yoga video and saw the thumbnail for today's podcast so I guess I'll be stretching to this instead 😆. Hopefully I don't fall over from laughing. I can't contain myself when you two share stories and banter.
(I know you guys probably won't see this but anyway) Both of your resolutions are similar to mine... Lol I was actually doing yoga this morning as part of this year's resolution to move my body more, but it's taken me about a decade of "resolving to being open to the idea of exercising" before I actually got to this point 😂 also I need to eat more often. I've put on 70 lbs since the pandemic began (in a good way!!) and now I'm getting into weight lifting. Hannah, I think you'd enjoy weight lifting because it's challenging/builds grip strength and/or HIIT (high intensity interval training) because it's dynamic and can be done quickly in an efficient manner. I like to incorporate weight lifting and HIIT together.. It's not so much a chore when you enjoy what you're doing. Also, Shane, I found myself wondering if maybe some of your attachment to drinking has to do with the stigma of "maturity" attached to the ability to drink. I mention this because when I was quitting smoking, part of that was coming to terms with the misconception that formed in childhood that made smoking seem like a distinguished or adult behavior. Just an idea. I allow myself to drink, but I almost never touch alcohol anymore. There are so many more ways to relax and enjoy this life.. Especially once a baby comes along. I believe 100% that you can quit drinking (I didn't think Hannah was being mean in saying 20%,lol,she was being honest) I'm cheering you both on 🎉🎉
Welcome back to LA 🎉
The weather is not too sunny yet but we are spoiled so anything under 70 we are complaining. I’m in the OC but work in LA . If you want to venture out and want something not as fast paced and take a break from traffic- come down for the beautiful beaches, shopping and food !
Newport, Laguna beach, and San juan Capistrano have great spots - and missions!
Agreed!!! I was raised in Orange County and finally moved to LA in later adulthood. My favorite beach of all time will always be Laguna Beach-outside of San Diego. Lol
@@dannaca it’s the best and also my favorite beach in Orange County
@ekewutositina scammer!
This was my first podcast episode tuning in and it had me screaming laughing!! You two are so funny. Definitely will be listening to the rest of these and keeping up 🥰
For real though I think you guys could blend Beatrix Potter and library into a beautiful Beatrix Potter library themed nursery 😎 like dark oak furniture and woodland tree themes with pastel walls and textiles and a cosy little reading chair and pictures of the characters 🥺
shane I have cp and couldnt walk for two years... you responded to my post I learned to walk again! I refused to give up everyone said you need a wheelchair I refused got a scotter now I can walk without hanging on to the walls.. working on using taxis ( I cant get in independently) walking long distances with wheelchair and walking unassisted... I almost died going septic I had lost hope... so I just watched you to and prayed like hell... love you... I am now okay with what I can and cant do... my family believed that I should be able to walk and never accepted my walker they literally told me to not bring it and left it in the hall to not get there floor wet....they did not visit or care when I couldnt walk they told me bc I was getting lazy and fat and " if I wanted to I could walk without holding on to anything like I used to....they bullied me into depression.... they refused to accept my disability and my struggle I had no one...now I wont go to any family events.. why do some family members of disabled people refuse to accept your disability and in the end abuse you? I dont get it
A friend with CP is on that new med and has proven to be a game changer for her.
I hate to say this but I sure don’t like your family.
@@jdelano6171 all my friends say this in my book I will address this issue how I became an annoying burden and how they used the medical model of disability to abuse me in elementary school and highschool I wasnt allowed to use assistive devices so I fell up to 10 times a day cracked my head open 2 times they left me in snow banks and walked right past me sometimes for an hour as I struggled to get up they refused to make anything accessable I had to walk up deadly stairs with no railing to this dasy I dont know how I survived it. my book will be done in 2 years. I believe I had a narristic family and I was there target
Hi, I’m a new subscriber and have been watching a lot of your videos, so fun! It’s so nice to see a couple who enjoy each other so much 😊
I love Shane’s sense of humor! 😂
Good vibes coming your way ✌️🥰
For intros, the combo of Shane's content with Hannah's structure: perfect! 😊
Again, I looove this format ❤
I’ve been observing that Shane looks great right now….certainly stronger than a year ago. I was worried back then.
I even asked in his Monday Grubag if he was gaining weight! He has been looking much healthier
You're very observant!
Shane I’ve been so worried. I have complex gastrointestinal issues, and tube feeding SUCKS, but intravenous feeding is even more intense and dying from malnutrition is obviously worse!
I really hope you can stay healthy without tubes 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Edit: yes!! What a win dude!! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
You two are adorable! I love your conversation and laughing at each other.
You two are hysterical😆 Love your podcast every week. Stay safe & have fun in the sun in California😁
Hello Cynthia how are you doing,
where are you from?
Forearm and hand exercise… ROCK CLIMBING!
The ending was mayhem in the best unexpected way💀 “British pub” took me out. You have the best humor, great episode guys!!!!
I’m so happy for you!! 🎉 Take turns doing intros or do them together. 😊
Haha I love you guys! Also shout out to Hannah mentioning my favorite kid's show growing up: Dragon Tales!
You two are one of the funniest comedy couples I’ve ever seen.
I love these videos so much - I feel like the content you two have been putting out the last few months especially has been really good quality
I can always count on you two to make me giggle. Never know what you will come up with. Congrats on gaining some weight, Shane. I love thin pretzel sticks! I dip them in Pub cheese I buy at Trader Joe's. Have a wonderful time on your trip, guys! Hope you will take us a long like you usually do. Love your fun trips. I am originally from the Los Angeles area. ENJOY! By the way, I am praying for you on your pregnancy journey ~ can't wait for you two to be parents ~ a very blessed baby indeed❤🙏
Be careful, even in LA, A whole lot of rain and mud slides. Bad weather, definitely what we're not used to..But, the temp is still warmer than what you're used to this time of year.
Hannah, I totally feel you with the resolution to be more open to exercise. That's a good start.
Having you mom come along is great! I absolutely love when my mom can come along on our trips.
I love Hannah's nonchalantness. Is that a word Shane? You two our so perfect for each other. 💕
I absolutely adore you two! Thank you for sharing with us!
Hannah can't deny the mermaid part of her. Shane, good luck with the lower alcohol. You can do it!
You guys do know a lot of your success of your keeping the resolutions will depend on the support you give each other. Laughing through the changing life style is vital and fun!
Welcome to Southern California! It is cold (OK... Not as cold as Minnesota) and has been raining for about a week, and expected to rain more in the next 10 days. We have an atmospheric river roaring through the west coast. So, enjoy your first couple of weeks here (at least). 🥶🤧
Me too. I love rold gold pretzel sticks. Just started this fall. Love your videos and podcast.
I enjoy both of you and watch your videos and Podcasts every week. I was wonder what you both will talk about next. Love your slap stick humor too
For the nursery theme: Beatrix Potter characters (for Hannah) but they're reading books and drinking beer (for Shane) 😂
Funniest couple, I love when Shane says something to make Hannah go “oh boy” hahah adorable!
This is fantastic news!!! So happy for you, this is huge!
Cafe Laurent in Culver City is probably the best breakfast I have ever had. We just happened to drive by when we were in CA for an air show and it was amazing. 😋
This was the best one so far - I laughed a lot, thank you both! You really are so good together. My sons were obsessed with Robot Wars tv programme we had here in England, which sounds similar to your Battlebots. They even cost me a fortune buying a weekly magazine with "free" parts attached to build their own robot. We also had Beatrix Potter themed bedrooms and the whole collection of stories for bedtime reading. Now, thanks to your combination of ideas, I'm picturing Peter Rabbit riding on Sir Killalot and taking on Mr McGregor with a motorised spinning pitchfork! 😜🤣
You're never mean to him hannah. I love your relationship. You're going to feel that strength come back after just one to two weeks of repetitive motion. You really can feel the difference quickly with a minimum amount of resistance. I'm happy for you.
Hey Glad for the new video, I was having S&G withdrawals 😊
But what happened to the new wheelchair?
I really should have watched all your past videos in the date order, so I wouldn't be confused on what happened when, oh well.
You guys are great to watch, makes me laugh every time!
Keep up the great videos.
JUST THE 2 OF US!
I’m a fan of both of you doing the intro in an argument style. Let’s stick with that ❤😂. Love you guys.
I love your stories! I think Hannah should open for your podcast for a change! 😆🥰 Your trip for 3 months sounds so much fun and warm! ☺️🤗🥰 Glad that Hannah's mom will be there to help also.🥰
Love visiting with you at Junkyard mayhem : )! Thank you for sharing.
May Gods bless you Shane, I pray to God that He heal you miraculously.
Omg your mention of Beatrix Potter just brought back deep childhood memories I'd totally forgotten about! I loved Puddleduck, I think I even had a stuffed animal of her somehow?
Another great podcast guys!! :)
Shane can drink and drive on those walks.
A book for the future child, Mom, Dad and Chloe. Walks with Grandmother, Travels and Barn adventures.
❤❤❤
Pretzel sticks are my new favourite as well!
Hello Dianne how are you doing,
where are you from?
Excited to see videos from L.A! Does Hanna’s dad like to go with Liz on the trips as well? Safe journeys! 😊
My trainer used to have me use this stick with a rope in the middle of it. The end of the rope had a circle weight (like from a barbell) tied to the end. You hold it out in front of you and twist the rope around the the stick, lifting the weight all the up to the stick, then twist the other way to lower it. It really worked my grip and forearms
A future pregnancy might work well for Shane to maintain and even gain. A lot of husbands gain sympathy weight from all the pregnancy cravings ❤️😍
its not really sympathy weight there are actual hormonal changes, testosterone lowers and estragon rises to prepare for caring for the baby
same thing happens in birds where both parents raise the babies
And breast milk! 😜
Heck, having kids will help - someone (typically a parent or the family dog) has to eat all the sandwich crusts, half-eaten chicken nuggets, and rejected meals from the kids! The glamorous side of parenting is scarfing these sad meals over a sink so you don't have to dirty another dish. 😅
@@piarateking8094 ooh, that is interesting about the birds!
@@piarateking8094 lol ...some scientists come up with weird bs.
Love Shane's sense of humor, makes watching you guys so much fun! Glad to hear about your weight gain, keep up the good work! Eat more ice cream!! 😂
The reminds me of the time Shane talked so much about his delicious "warmies". I then went to my local grocery store and asked them where they were located....I did NOT know that was his made up name for them. 🤣
I remember that😂 he definitely let us know it was his special name for them tho.
I am also in the habit of drinking a beer or glass of wine after work (yeah "iffy" is a good description for me too...). I have had success with substituting it with alcohol free beer to try to reduce... Other things I've found work are grapefruit juice or kombucha, maybe a CBD infused drink if I can find it.
Since personally I found it to be also a habit of sitting with a nice drink at the end of the day to decompress. Thought I'd drop these ideas here incase you find it tricky! Good luck with your reduction Shane I hope you have some success with it! 🤞
So happy for your news! Great going.
Hello Vicki how are you doing,
where are you from?
For Hannah's first resolution: this was my 2022 goal and I wholeheartedly expected to fail but I joined a ninja gym (like American Ninja Warrior but way easier) and truly fell in love with the sport. I look forward to going to the gym now, the ninja community is incredibly welcoming and encouraging, and I have absolutely significantly improved my upper body strength. I cannot recommend ninja enough, and it feels like being a kid on a playground again, not like working out
I love it when you release an episode when I start my one hour commute back home from work.
Shane,
You could use a condom catheter with a legbag for airplane flights or even road trips. Condom catheters come in a variety of sizes and most are self-adhesive. I recommend the Hollister legbags and they come in two sizes. You can request free samples from most urological supply companies.
When Hannah asked "what was your SAT score" I could tell that hit well below the belt, but you deserved it for that 'no wiping' comment.
Once u bring another life into ur world, it all changes. It's never the same again. Make certain ur solid first. It's hard being a parent. Especially if the other person is opposing u all the time. It's not easy. Please enjoy ur time together now. U need that foundation.
Oh! For a nursery theme combining both of your esthetics and likes, what about like a bookshelf with a stack of books and a stuffed Peter Rabbit sitting on top of them, or maybe in the mural you could have one of the characters wearing little reading glasses and reading a book by a stream in the sun or sitting in an armchair. Things like that maybe could work?
Also, congrats on gaining some weight Shane! Glad to hear it! And I hope you guys enjoy your trip to the warm weather, have fun!
