Shane Burcaw (he/him) is the author of several award-winning books about disability. He is the President of a nonprofit organization called Laughing At My Nightmare, and a renowned public speaker who has performed across the country at places such as Harvard University, The University of Florida, The University of Connecticut, Princeton University, and many more.
Hannah Burcaw (she/her) graduated from Carleton College, where she studied Sociology and Anthropology. She films and edits the “Squirmy and Grubs” vlog, which has over 730,000 subscribers on RUclips. Hannah has spoken at prestigious universities and Fortune 500 companies alike about the realities of ableism. On her popular Instagram account, she advocates for acceptance of all people and works to improve the way society thinks about disability.
Shane and Hannah have been together for over four years. They got married in September of 2020 in the midst of a global pandemic in their backyard, with their officiant conducting the ceremony via Zoom. Their interabled relationship often confuses people, because much of society still cannot fathom people with disabilities being involved in loving, intimate relationships. Anyone who watches these episodes will quickly see their relationship is just as “normal” as any other. Sure, Hannah helps Shane use the bathroom and brush his teeth, but those activities do not detract from the emotional, intellectual, and physical connection they experience together.
Guys I hope you don't find this too weird. I found your channel on
RUclips 4 days ago and I have spent many hours going through your
videos. I Created my FIRST EVER RUclips Channel just so I could make
comments about your stuff. I'm a 70 year old male with cerebral palsy.
Your videos have been a review of the life I've lived, and the
challenges I've faced, like NOTHING I have ever encountered before. I
have sat here for hours shouting at the computer screen "Yes, that
happens. Yes, that's how it works, Yes, I've heard that, Yes that has
been thrown in my face too!
BROVO Shane for telling it like IT IS,
OVER AND OVER AND OVER YET AGAIN....BROVO!!!! Thank you Shane. And
Hannah, thank you for showing us what TRUE LOVE REALLY IS!-- James W.
Fee, Jr.
This made my heart so happy 🥰 hope you’re having a safe and happy holidays ♥️
@@MandieZangora Thank you and Merry Christmas!! Now if I could just get a reply out of squirmy and grubs!!!-- Jim Fee
This is a super safe space, you can feel free to share and express yourself here. I hope you’re doing well and having a happy holiday:)

I want to defend the crying older lady. That generation was forced to discard or place children with disabilities in foster/residential homes. They were told those kids would be a burden and have no meaningful life. So when they see "normalcy" it gives them hope and love and renews them. They are just like "o my god this can happen". We are friends with an interable couple and the old ladies at church would always gush over them. And one of them told me how her brother had been put in an institution. So while it is "weird" I think for many its just the realization that they were told wrong and may have had some kind of trauma/stigma with disabilities.
You are 100 & 1 % right! Thank you for reminding everyone about that those days!
Yes! My grandfather has a brother with Austim who he said was in an "institution" because it is "best" for his brother. My own brother has it and our grandfather is always asking me about my brother.
Yes your right. So alot of people just dont realize that those of us that have disabilities still love, feel, hate, hold grudges or not. Pray ,laugh, everything that others do because we arent packed up and sent away.😘
Good insight :)
It's still awkward to have a stranger cry at you in public regardless of her former preconceived notions about disability. They arent attacking her but there is no situation where that isnt weird and uncomfortable.
My daughter gets called weird, gross, etc. because she is missing her arm. She also gets stared at a lot by other kids. I have taught her to say, "Its rude to stare but, Its ok to ask about my arm." Most of the time it works. Love you guys!
I have a stepson that was born with a bilateral arm deformity and a lot of people stare. My son would get really defensive for him but my stepson wasn’t bothered so I had to have a talk with my son about saving his irritation for times when Seth was upset and not making him upset when he isn’t offended. People are curious but some are rude and there is no excuse for that.
Hi. I know you commented 11 months ago.A female surfer lost her arm from a shark attack. She went back surfing. Most of the time it's adults that are
ignorant as of just being rude and just not informed how to ask questions. Awhile back Mom and I were waiting in line for the bathroom in. Florida. Woman taps me on the shoulder and asked to the back of my head " What happened to you?" I turned around and said " I'm faking it!" Loud enough my Mom infants of me told me to be nice. That was about a dozen times people asked me in a matter of days. Sometimes I felt like making a great story up. Let them be inticed with the B S. , then say only kidding ! There are so many people that got happily married that don't have legs And arms. Little stumps for arm and has hands and no legs but feet all but coming out of their pelvis. One is a motivational speaker. I believe your daughter is stronger than most people. Two hugs to both of you from Pennsylvania.
@@donnalawrence9054 My daughter just read Nick Vujicic's book and loved it. She also loved the soul surfer movie. We have met so many wonderful people through Camp No Limits for children with limb loss. A Boston marathon bombing survivor who lost his leg just married a beautiful lady missing her limbs. ❤ I don't think they would have met if he hadn't lost his leg. Hugs back from NH!
@@savesquish1 HI. I already knew you are a great Mom ( I capitalize parents when they are deserving of it -lol) I didn't know they had that movie. When I was a Girl Scout a thousand years ago ( lol) we had a camp leader named Radar. She was blind. The only thing she didn't do was lead the hike which we got lost in the pouring rain for a long time. My Mom lost her eye sight when she was older and still did well. Great friend's Mom was blind ,got married, and had kids,etc. I am glad your daughter has a great Mom and I am sure knows it. You are raising a well rounded daughter and am sure if you have other kids, they also feel the same. Thanks for more knowledge! Hugs to both of you! Stay well.
I love how you taught her to handle it, by making a point and then opening the subject for conversation. I have scarred legs and people just have no clue that I see them staring and sometimes they ask me what's wrong with my legs. If they catch me in the wrong mood, I might say something shocking and I know I shouldn't but either should they.
Hannah is so beautiful it’s ridiculous...just so lovely to look at. Even the sound of her voice, her smile and frequent laughter are so engaging. She’s so unpretentious about it. I Love that too. What a blessing to her husband.
She got it from her mama! :)
She is so fake and egotistical. If you can't see it then u must be blind, I mean come on, she found a meal ticket with SHANE, and now HANNAH is a millionaire and has a life insurance policy on Shane. She's a wheelchair digger and her attitude makes her so unattractive
lord knows she ain't getting anything
@@toddmckenzie6027 you’re a gross bully…
@@toddmckenzie6027 Were you born a hateful human being or have you worked all your life perfecting your hate?
Shane, you should invest in the newest Jaco arm that comes with a middle finger. I think this would be a worthwhile investment for you after hearing some of your stories. Keep up the great work, you and Hannah brighten my day.
That made me laugh, I can so picture Shane doing that x
lol...he should
Yes!! And a robotic leg to punt rude people into the river
those things arent exactly cheap, but it would get put to good use
My embarrassing story: A group of guys come into the bar I'm waitressing at, one of them was staggering and slurring his words when he ordered a beer. I told him I didn't think he needed another drink. He says "no I'm okay, I just fell off a truck", so I tell him I'm not going to be able to serve him. His friend then explains to me that years ago he fell off of a truck causing a brain injury and showed me the scar on his head from where they had to do surgery. I literally wanted to die, I felt horrible ans paid for his beer myself. Luckily they were all were very nice about it and even had a good laugh.
I can remotely imagine how bad you must have felt 😅🤦🏻♂️ but I mean we all make mistakes, and at least he got a free drink ;)
Aw that was an honest mistake which we’ve all done as we’re human. Sounds like you would never want to intentionally make someone feel bad and that obviously came across to the guys 💚
To be fair telling someone "no I'm okay, I just fell off a truck" is not usually very reassuring lol
@@helyns1416 right, like now you're DEFINITELY not getting a beer if you fell off a truck lol
Not sure but this story sounds like one I heard recently from a stand-up comedian who is disabled. If it's the same person he's doing great!
Parents who don't react to their kids behaving inappropriately are the problems with humanity of this world.
Exactly, and those are the same parents who teach hate in all forms. Babies are not born to hate its taught and that has got to stop.
I also wonder if there was something going on with the kid.
Amen !
Yea if my kid ever did something Shane and Hanna you would of got the last laugh you could of laughed at him because he would if got the ads whipping of a life time for that or I would of reached and smacked him so hard up side the head he would of flew off the picnic table and you could of laughed at him getting up crying
@@TH-eb5ro Yes, he should be an orphan, maybe someone will teach him to be a better person.
He has a great personality and he’s so funny. He also has a great way of expressing himself. I can understand why Hannah enjoys his company. These videos are super entertaining.
Totally agree. They're hilarious, love their love of sarcasm😂
Stop living in a fantasy world, there is nothing great about his personality at all, just because he's disabled doesn't mean he automatically has charisma/humour. You are fake, she's in it for the money, like the last two were, and your denial of reality makes you untrustworthy and full of shit, the fakeness of it all is cringy, and you are not a good person for appraising a obvious sham
@@callumfitzpatrick5052 Dude can it! A lot of people enjoy Shane's sense of humor, up beat attitude. A lot of able bodied people are depressed, narcissistic, and insecure, witch Shane's not. How is it hard to believe she loves the kid for his personality and his charisma and charm, despite his disability, You sound like a shallow person. Also who really cares what life is like for them behind the scenes anyway it's none of your business. Your obviously obsessed! Lol your watching the content, your two faces. :)
I love Shane’s blog, he’s always been hilarious but also such a kind seeming person
@@callumfitzpatrick5052 your so shallow
"WELL, GET ME MORE GIFTS!" 🤣 ...I felt that lol.
As someone who’s love language is receiving gifts. Yes this is a whole mood 😂
I’ve been over weight almost my whole adult life. And I get the look from kids all the time. Once I was standing in line at the pharmacy. A little girl is looking me up and down. She’s probably 3 or 4. Her Mother is looking mortified because she knows what’s coming. So do I. So I’m trying to look consoling to the Mother.... it’s okay. Don’t worry about it. Then it comes. The little girl pulls on her Moms arm. She says, “Mom, that lady is so pretty!” Both me and the Moms mouths drop open. That wasn’t expected. I wanted to go buy the little girl a toy. Lol.
Yes I've teached my daughter the importance of everyone is beautiful and never to be judging so she always compliments everyone like your so beautiful I love your make up or nails or smile she just turned 4 I am so proud 😊 ❤
Awe love it
That is SO sweet! What a cute little girl and being raised RIGHT....
Kidd's tend to say it say the truth
Yessssssss...... That must of been a very good mother.... I have been overweight all my adult life too, and I can SO relate to these stories!
If I saw you two in public, I might totally cry, but only because of how much your videos mean to me being disabled myself. I love you guys so much!
I'm on the aromantic spectrum and have never really been interested in relationships, but watching you guys makes me see why other people get into relationships. You guys are so much fun to watch; I'm so glad you're happy together!
Doncha just love spellcheck😄
When someone points at me in public or is unnecessarily staring, my Dad will whisper nonsense in my ear and then stare and point back at them!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
great 👏👏
Oh jeez that. Happened to me once soo I had a staring contest w one person , awkward!
Oh I love this
Love that lol
I’ve had people treat me like I’m a ‘saint’’ bc I apparently married someone I’m supposedly ‘too good’ for bc he wasn’t as attractive a person as some people expected me to choose to spend my life with. 28 years married and 3 kids later and I still get the comments. It’s sad to me what so many people use as pre-requisites for a healthy relationship. In other words, ignore that shite! 💜
My daughter married a really brilliant guy. Someone who knew them both found out they were engaged and made a comment about whether she could keep up with him. She was so offended! She's plenty intelligent but was home educated, so the person evidently thought she wasn't his equal. I told her I would have commented about him keeping up with her, if you know what's mean, lol.
@@Sturdyman500 To me, that sounds like blatant ignorance on their behalf. Home education statistically produces more intelligent people in regards to a life skills and producing prodigy children. I’ve home schooled all 3 of my kids during most of their primary years (my son all the way through HS). My oldest daughter has a bachelor’s from UCI and my son was a computer science prodigy at 12 years old- building computers from scratch as well as full animation and coding websites. A general education is great but limited in scope when dealing with real world scenarios, deadlines, and problem solving. Anyway, I’m certain your daughter keeps her man engaged in great conversation and has proven to be someone he wants raising his children, right? Being that he’s brilliant and chose her for a partner says a lot. Anyone telling him that she may not be able to ‘keep up’ is basically questioning his ability to use adequate discernment in choosing a partner, therefore challenging his own intelligence. Hugs from CA☺️
It's okay. These two are bs artists. They are not actually in a relationship
As a retired teacher, I’ve learned that poorly behaved children mostly come from poorly behaved parents. Sometimes when you call home to tell parents the awful or mean things their child has done at school, it doesn’t take long to understand that the poor kid is just learning this from awful or mean parents. This is not always the case, but often the case. I end up feeling sorry for the kid who hardly stands a chance!
I was feeling anxious tonight. I've already watched 3 of your videos now, and I am feeling so much more relaxed. Your enjoyment of life is contagious. You make me laugh and smile and forget the things I'm coping with. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Please accept a hug from a stranger. .. 🤗
@@janewestcountry5131 Thanks!
You're not the only one who feels anxious sometimes I think most people feel the same way I sure do everyday
When Shane was talking about "Did he think I drew a fake I.D. in crayon?" that gave me the best laugh of the day.
Christy Birling haha me too 😂😂
Same it ess so funny!
@@valerieperry9105 kkkkkkkkkkk(kkk(
That one was funny 😄
I lost it at that too :D
I remember I was grocery shopping and this middle aged man walked past me as I was grabbing something out of the freezer section with a super confused expression on his face and he said to a person next to him. "Where's that kid's mom?" I completely lost it and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. At this time I was in college and doing all the "adulting" things and I still get confused for being a kid. I'm 4ft 6in and I have a form of dwarfism so I get it but....my goodness. Hey at least I look young for my age. Anyways, once I could actually stop laughing I dangled my keys up in the air and said "And I stole my mom's car keys too" and walked away.
"You're dethpicable!" XD
Great come back.
My friend is 4'8" exactly, I am 5'5" and we both are pale with brown hair and brown eyes. She was in my car and we were driving behind her parents. They see us behind them and when we get to the restaurant, her dad says "you two look like a mom and kid in the car together ".
Now I have an SUV so it is even worse. 😂
@@MrsSaraJingles I drive a minivan so I understand. I fear the day I get pulled over and a cop thinks I stole my mom's car for real lol.
I'm only 150 cm which is about 5 feet, people always think I'm a lot younger than I am, like at least 10 years younger - I am 33! Though have never been mistaken for being a kid, guess I don't look that young!
You two truely warm my heart, seeing your genuine love for each other as well as your obvious happiness in JUST SIMPLY going through day to day life together! I am so sure you have heard this at one point or another however I feel the need to say it anyways, ;) you are so loving and compassionate to Shane that there is no skating around your VERY obvious love for Shane! With that being said I find it sad as well as scary that people are so shallow and flawed that they feel that because Shane has different "ABILITIES" than they do that he is incapable of finding love and having someone genuinely love him for EXACTLY WHO HE IS like he loves them FOR WHO THEY ARE, please know that you are not the one with the issue AT ALL the person with that extremely flawed perception is 10000000% the problem, in which case I pray they get help and are able to change their way of thinking and seeing life! You are both truly beautiful and amazing souls, with that being said you are both helping people with open minds as well as open hearts to have the incredible opportunity to see two beautiful souls with different " ABILITIES" as well as totally different ways of living and experiencing life, be perfectly capable of falling head over heals in love, showing support to each other, loyalty, trust and respect to one another for just being who they are! I am so grateful for human beings like the two of you, because you are helping others peoples souls, minds, and their over all person to grow and learn to look beyond the physical and to find the true beauty within a person! I can not imagine the mean and awful back lash that you must receive on social media from the sad, miserable, or ignorant people sitting on their electronics passing judgement and dishing out useless, mean, and hurtful criticism! I pray that one day my 5 children are able to find a beautiful, genuine, and amazing love like the two of you have been able to find I pray for that daily! You are both truly inspirational and incredible, I am so thankful to be able to watch you both grow as individuals as well as team and a couple!!!! Thank you for all that you are doing regaurdless of all of the hateful things people say, you are both doing something truly amazing by just simply showing those with different "ABILITIES" that there is hope for them in finding someone that will love them forall that they are as an individual with no regard of what others think about it! Congrats on all of your accomplishments to the both of you, may God continue to bless you on your journey in this complicated thing we call life! Thank you for sharing all that you do on here, and PLEASE dont ever feel bad for creating boundaries and keeping somethings personal for the two of you as it is your right to do so and you have to to maintain your sanity as well as your peace of mind!!! You two are incredible people!!!!! I pray for you guys daily I pray all of yalls goals, aspirations, and prayers are answered!
I got I.D.’d last week and I’m going to be 48 next month. At some point you will take it as a compliment and not be annoyed! 😊❤️
I asked my kids if we should chuck all the Amazon packages under the tree Christmas morning and whatever you open is what you get. They didn't like that idea
I love it
White elephant amazon edition
Lol this made me giggle!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Why do I think that is so funny!!??!!
Once I got to open one present early . And I chose one and it was a hairbrush. Lol not very exciting for a kid
I was basically raised by my aunt who is disabled. And I have grown to treat people well irrespective of their nature. I really love what you guys do.
I just found y’all and I’m loving your channel. So much positivity is refreshing to see!! I feel ya on the bullying topic. My brother has CP and we are in our late 50’s. Kids used to point at him a lot too and it was awkward for him. I’ve watched, as he’s gotten older, how much he has become more comfortable handling those awkward moments with children. He will answer their questions. The thing that irritates me, are the adults who either ignore their children, like they didn’t just say something so rude, rather than gently correcting them and educating them. I think some folks just get used to living in their own bubble and don’t know what to say. One of the best things that has come about with time, is increased accessibility for mobility challenged people. RUclips and the internet is such a great vehicle for raising awareness. Y’all are a bright spot on here and I am looking forward to watching more and more!! Blessings from Texas!!
Shane: “I wanted to punt the kid into the river...” SAME Shane
If my child EVER said something like that to someone I would be SO upset, and embarrassed. How horrible 😔😔😔
@Mandy Waller 2 😂 👊😎👌
Your expressions, Shane, are priceless!
I have a reverse story for you.
When my grandaughter was about 3 and a half we took her to the mall. There was a woman pushing an older lady in a regular conventional wheelchair. My grandaughter stood starining at the wheelchair.
The woman pushed the chair next to Where we were standing and very nastily bent toward my gradaughter and not nicely said, " Rude child. Do you not know it is rude staring at people that are disabled" she scared my grandaughter and pissed me off. For one thing, my grandaughter was little more than a baby.
I looked at the woman and as nice as I could I said, "She is staring at the wheelchair, Her father is paralized and this chair is nothing like the one he has. His is low to the ground and he moves it by pushing the wheels,"
I seen the woman could move her legs, she must have just had a medical condition that made it hard for her to walk that much, my grandaughters father was paralyzed from just above the naval.
The lady just turned red and walked away. No apology. It made me furious.
People are strange and maybe you are judging as well, you see I am DISABLED AND CAN MOVE MY LEGS BUT CAN'T WALK. So don't assume that an individual who can move their legs aren't disabled. The social security administration agrees I'm disabled. Just as you found the caregiver offensive and rude, which she was, but when you love someone who is in a wheelchair and DISABLED you become extremely sensitive to your loved ones feelings. Perhaps they had a rough day or your 3 yr old is tall and she thought she was older. Who knows but PLEASE REMEMBER SOME DISABILITES ARE NOT VISIBLE AND SOMEONE PARALYZED IS NO MORE OR LESS DESERVING OF ONES COMPASSION. ALL DISABILITIES ARE DESERVING OF KINDNESS. you are passive aggressive and It is evident in your writing.
@@raquellambropoulos279 no it was wrong actually to come anywhere near a naturally inquisitive child and dare talk to them in an aggressive way. I’d have found it hard not to thump her.
Anyone that can treat a child like that, shouldn't be the caretaker of ANYONE! Frozen hearts. Children are curious and constantly learning, and to treat them like that because it made them uncomfortable makes me sick!
@@crystalwolfe6794 I totally agree with you. I also struggle with both of them so shocked and stressed out about the attention they get. I’m thinking that’s why they’re RUclipsrs ..to get attention which is a totally awesome way to show that disabled persons can and do have normal full beautiful lives and share that life with beautiful people. With positive will come negative...their common sense should kick in about human nature. People will be jealous thus make stupid comments. I’m still confused as to why they are shocked about receiving it. Shut down the channel if it’s so stressful and upsetting. The fact that they haven’t done so shows it’s not so upsetting. Personally I applaud their openness but just smh at the wanting of a pity party.
@@crystalwolfe6794 Boy I had a curious 3 year old..he's now 41. We were at a Dr.'s office in the waiting area. A midget walked in and my son went crazy, pulling on my shirt, his index finger and thumb going up and down as he said "mama...whittle man, whittle man (my son had a speech issue at the time) I tried gently to calm him, felt like it went on forever. The man came over, and was so sweet....looked at me and said...don't worry mom, kids are just curious...then looked at my son....and said..yes, I am a little man, and patted my son on the head ☺
Awkward but sweet.
You two are incredibly fun, patient, and so strong! I truly applaud your sense of humor thru these horribly uncomfortable and even very upsetting moments. No one asks for illness or birth defects Maybe a masochist might? But seriously I was born with birth defects and had surgeries to correct them. I feel blessed that I was never made fun of how ever my brother who had epilepsy was made fun of. We all deserve love, compassion and understanding! Shane and Hannah I love the awareness you bring and how you can get thumbs down is puzzling to me!
I love you two. It's been a hard year for everyone I know. We lost my young son in law 2 days before Thanksgiving and we're still trying to cope. My daughter and 5 grandchildren are struggling and I'm so not into the spirit like I usually am. But when I watch y'all it really picks me up. Thank y'all for sharing your lives and stories. Much love to y'all. Merry Christmas .😘😘😘😘🤶🤶🤶🤶🤶🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My partner is disabled and we have had some really awkward moments with strangers. They either feel the need to thank me for being an angel and sacrificing myself to be with him or they just outright ask him what’s wrong and what happened. Both are super awkward and annoying, please people just smile and walk on.
I'm sure both are done with positive intent sometimes things can just come off wrong when said differently but I hope you and your partner are doing wonderful 👍 stay safe
I have a smile on my face the entire time I listen to you two, such a cheerful couple, love you both.
Shanes Happiness and quick wit just makes me utterly freaking happy!!!Dude doesn't complain...Dude just lives!!!He deserves the best in life and Hannah is proof of that!!!
Your videos make my days so much better! Even with the sad title. I love you both! All my support always! 🖤
The story of the boy laughing and his “parents” doing nothing makes me lose faith in humanity.
It sounds like a sociopathic response ☹️
Perhaps the parents felt so awkward / embarrassed that they wanted to ignore it like it wasn’t happening. Of course they could have told him off and made a big scene about it, but maybe they just wanted to deal with it in the privacy of their own home.
I love these stories. You guys have a good bond I can tell and never change your love for each other
I love you guys. You always make me smile and laugh and if I can be honest, it makes me appreciate the body I have which we all take for granted until somethings happens and we lose it or part of or whatever, you just make me appreciate how easy life is when your able bodied. Another great upload! Thank you 🙏
Idk how to act when I see someone with a disability. I don’t want to ignore them.
But I don’t want to smile or say hi and have them think that’s the only reason I’m acknowledging them. I’m also the shyest more awkward person ever .
Act the same as you would if they weren't disabled.
Do nothing , it’s like seeing an abled person ...., but I know what you mean, my elderly mom stares, so embarrassing
I always say hi and smile. Many people are ignored in wheelchairs....brighten their day a bit! 😁
@@marys3127 agree, we say hello to everyone why not them ? At least I do, I’m very friendly :)
I cannot believe the boy who pointed and laughed. That genuinely baffles me that a kid of that age would do that. And especially that the parents didn’t say anything
kids are nasty. that is how kids are. parents and teachers should be there to stop and teach. i definitely though think this was completely out of line. hes in public doing this. in school the kids taunt each other. at home brothers taunt their sisters. thats it. its not ok but its part of grwoing up. but this is an adult they are mocking in the street. if its the parents that were there then im baffled. it might not have even been their parents. it might have just been someone they knew taking them out.
I won't judge the parents
Maybe they were so humiliated and ashamed they had no words to say
@@raquellambropoulos279 those parents need a backbone.
@@raquellambropoulos279 The daughter spoke up first. Parents should have followed her example.
You two are obviously so happy together. Thank you for sharing!!!
Can so relate to these stories. I’m almost blind and have physical disabilities. Have been in a chair a few times due to broken bones that are a part of my condition. Anyway I was in the city one day and I couldn’t find the building I needed to go for, yet another, job interview. There was a man, probably in his 50s there, walking the other way, so in passing I asked if he knew where the ANZ bank was as the bank was the bottom floor of the building. The man proceeds to drop to the ground, on one knee, I was a bit stressed at this point, thinking am I about to cop a random proposal, and he gave the directions, promptly, to my guide dog. My dog stood there wagging her tail slowly, something she does when confused.
I recently started following you guys .. I forgot how I stumbled upon your videos .. but to see the way you both love and respect eachother , so refreshing! Hannah , you get it . You know that true love does deeper than looks , money , material , etc etc . And you know that when you really love someone, you’re willing to do whatever for them . So happy to see that there’s still real love out there in the world :) God bless you both !
Honestly. You want/need to watch from the beginning. How far they have come together.
I too stumbled across a different video featuring Shane in a very different video to now ( without hannah ). And for once the RUclips algorithm gave me something great.
I've been watching them for about a year but I just started reading Shane's first book.. it's wonderful to see how he's grown and his narrative style has developed. He still has the same sense of humor! It puts my own disability in perspecitve and it gives me a really nice feeling reading his younger voice but also knowing that one day he won't have the short life expectancy he was expecting, he will have true love with Hannah(and of course Chloe) and the Jaco Arm to help out if he ever gets his head stuck or needs to open a door. I also can't wait to read Shane and Hannah's joint book!
Shane: "I wanted to punt the kid into the river." And the kick is up...its got the distance... and its GOOOOODDD! Squirmy and Grubs WIN!!
After shane said that i now have coffee over my kitchen walls 🤣
My immediate reaction: “justified”
OMG - I just found your video and I'm obsessed with all your videos and the amount of love you have for each other. It's not perfect and that's what I love about your videos. You are both such beautiful people and thanks for sharing your love for each other with us. I love both of you guys. ❤🎇
That is terrible that happened to you guys. I'm glad that you are strong enough to bring it to light. That is the only way you can make someone change by showing their ignorance of being mean and be kind to all! You guys are so hilarious! I look forward to watching your real life videos. If you ever come to NH come stop in for a visit. You will have a place to hang out! Stay safe & keep smiling!
You two are amazing and I hope you have a good Christmas 🎄 ❤
I get the "are you old enough?" And I've even had people try to take my ID. I have had kids point, stare, say horrible things with their parents right there. I've had people treat me like I'm mentally slow or a drug addict, like employees watching and following me around the store. I don't leave the house without a ton of makeup and without someone with me. I have lost all independentancy outside of the house between being blind and because of the way I'm treated I like to think I'm not that different but the world sure likes to prove me wrong.
You are like everyone else. Everyone else is like you. You could be a CEO if you wanted to. You seem very smart and capable, you got this girl ❤❤.
Thank y'all for being so positive; and with that first story with the woman who cried; I don't exactly think how she handled it was right, but I think she just saw how beautiful Hannah is inside and out and was overwhelmed ❤ she may have felt just very drawn to y'all. Love your content ✊
You two could not be more adorable. Thanks for sharing your life. Appreciate you guys.
that kind of stuff happens to me all the time ,just because I have a disability as well. I wish people would just see people for who they are.
I think the woman’s tears were very heartwarming 💝 I think in our society in general people are uncomfortable with people crying and not knowing how to react or what to do.
wtf about that warms your heart??! LOL That Hannah digs Shane?? he seems WAYYY less annoying than most dudes I know!
would it be "heartwarming" for someone to go up to the average "hot lady ugly dude" cis het abled couple and start crying??
(PS--i share the latter part NOT to say Shane is ugly--i think he's pretty adorable actually!--but just to illustrate that it's NOT about how Shane doesn't meet typical mainstream standards of attractiveness; it's just fucking ableism.)
That is *not* what ableism is.
You two make my ❤️ so happy! It’s so nice to see two people that are genuinely in love, sharing their lives and not giving a damn what people think. (And making fun of those who think they know what’s best for YOUR lives 🙄) I am so glad God brought you two together! I can’t wait to see what you two do next! Don’t forget to enjoy the journey ( I have a feeling you won’t 😉).
As someone with a chronic illness I have struggled with feelings of being unlovable. I think many of us struggle to know we are loved with all of our imperfections and we get these ideas in our heads that some qualities are less lovable than others. I think the woman in your first story may have just got a reality check that everyone deserves love and she may or may not have realized that she was incorrect about some of her internal belief systems and they have been why she was so shocked. I imagine there are things in her life that have led her (and many of us) to believe we are not good enough in life just as we are. Seeing how wrong we are about who deserves love gives us hope that we are lovable too.
The mic has made such a difference! Definitely worth all the struggle 🤣
I love the way Shane tells stories...the way he told the waitress story had me in tears from laughing. Love you guys! Merry Christmas! 🎄
"that I drew with a crayon" 😆😆🤣🤣🤣 I seriously die laughing every video! I seriously love you both!
I just wanted to stop by and say I love you guys! You two make me laugh every single day.
Love you Two so much!! Shame on those parents they should be teaching their children kindness not bullying!!!❤️💙💖
For people who may think Hannah is “using” Shane, if you watch ANY of their videos, you’ll notice the way she looks at him when he’s talking and you can tell she loves him. Just because their relationship isn’t the “norm” doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong and she’s with him for money blah, blah, blah. Everyone deserves to be loved, no matter their abilities or lack of, and it’s clear these two genuinely love each other! So happy for them.
Exactly, he's a human being like anyone else. I love this couple🥰
@MissMickey and how do you know that? Is that a fact, an assumption or an opinion?? 🙄
@MissMickey Who cares? It's still obvious that she loves him.
@MissMickey You don't know either of them at all. They seem quite happy to me. If you're going to be so negative, then maybe you shouldn't watch their videos.
@MissMickey You have your opinion, I have mine. I come here to laugh and be happy, as do most other people who watch their videos. I will reiterate that you should really keep your negativity to yourself and let people enjoy this content. It is positively horrid that you are so jaded to think that two people like this can't possibly be happy. I will reiterate that you should keep your negativity to yourself and maybe watch another channel that doesn't trigger it. Have a nice day =)
My signal has been so bad I’ve been determined to get through this video all day !!! Love the daily videos x
I just can't RIGHT NOW!!! Screw everyone who has a small mind!!! You were put on this earth to love, laugh, make mistakes, cry....if your crying about someone you actually know..haha and most of all be respected and cared for JUST LIKE EVERYONE else on this planet!
I swear you two are amazing and please keep the videos comin'-amy Rochester NY
LOVE you guys! Happy Holidays! You always make me laugh 😁
Love you guys, keep up the awesome work with your videos
You two are such a blessing to me. I love your channel! I’m so sorry people are so ignorant with the rude things they do and say. It’s so very wrong. Hang onto to the comments and love the rest of us give you who fully support you. Xo
oh you guys are Awesome! your videos make my day! As a wheelchair user myself...i find you both so relatable on so many levels. Thank you!
“And I did want a lollipop I said yes but..” 😂😂
"I wanted to punt him right into the river." my thought exactly
when life starts to suck, i turn on these videos and feel better, not because maybe shanes life is difficult, i feel better because you guys are funny and really work well together, a perfect match
Omg you guys are so much fun to watch! I just love your senses of humour. Thanks fir the smiles Hannah and Shane!
I prefer to say "Treat others the way they want to be treated."
"I blame.. .Who do I blame..." Rolling on the floor.
I think it’s so important for children to hear from folks that are different than them so they can learn that there are all different types of people in the world. Thanks for your work doing that!
You two are such a breathe of fresh air to watch .To have a real couple who really Love each other and it shows..,you both seem so down to earth and normal. !!You guys make me laught all the time.xo
I think when Shane picked this title he was trying to get more views to justify getting Hannah another gift... 😆
Love you guys!
"and I did want a lollipop" lmaooo Shane, what a big guy!
Wow I am glad you can get over those things but am very sad that you have to. With so much going on in this world you would think the prejudice would be nipped in the bud. I think you are both inspiring and I truly hope those people see this and are ashamed of themselves. Keep on Keeping on!
I love every single time you two bring up Peddlers Village. I used to live near there and it was the last place i worked before i moved to Germany. ( I helped build an indoor play park.) Growing up I spent a lot of time there, so thanks for giving me nice memories every time you bring it up!
Omg you two are hilarious tonight. The eye brow comment... poor Hannah that makeup video had me on stitches. Crayon license hahahahahha love you two.
You should send Hannah's gifts, to Hannah's parents house. So they don't get mixed up :)
Great idea!!!
Men dont think like us. Hehe.
That's a good idea
Really good idea! Imma actually do this for me and my bf because we live together but he’s the one who checks all he mail hehe
the*
You guys are so cute together.. love watching your clips- funny thing I was surfing and found you and love seeing the joy and love you have for each other, but what stands out the most is your friendship, reminds me a lot of my husband and I.
Thank you! ❤
You two are the best! You make me laugh everytime you explain your awkward moments and even if they were uncomfortable at the time you do a good job making light of it. Shane your a trooper with one of the best personalities and also have a wonderful wife by your side....keep smiling at those ignorant humans out there cause they obviously can't help themselves. Sending lots of love your way....hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! 🎄😉
"Hey sir, what kind of beer do you want? And would you also like a lollipop?" 😂😐😐😐😐 Seriously, though, what kind of logical sense did that make to that guy? 🤔🤣
Depends on the liquor laws of the area. I live in Texas, and here a minor can consume alcohol in a public setting (such as a restaurant) IF AND ONLY IF their parent is present. So if the waiter thought that Shane was Hannah's son, he would have been a) willing to get him some alcohol as long as Hannah (the supposed "parent") was present, and b) been willing to get Shane a lollipop if requested. Depending on local liquor laws, of course.

@@dianeaishamonday9125 Yes ma'am, you are correct. However, this wasn't at a restaurant. A minor can't go in the store and purchase beer. And this was the case here, except it was a drive thru store.
@@dianeaishamonday9125 that. is. crazy.
He was just ignorant about Shane's disability and perhaps knew Shane was an adult but thought he was slow like child like .So many Americans are clueless about disabilities.
I buy & wrap my own gifts to myself so I have something under the tree. I am still surprised when I open the package. Typically from my 2 dogs to myself. Are you getting the Noreaster that is hitting your side of the states? Your BFF from Montana. 😊
I am doing that this Christmas, too. Just called the local bookstore and asked them to wrap what I will buy this afternoon, it felt a bit weird but the bookstore owner just laughed like a happy Santa. And I believe I will be surprised, too, because when I looked in my bag of gifts I squeezed a gift and was like, What IS this!? haha. So it will be me & my cat. Merry xmas!
Love is so beautiful, and i have not known love in 5 years since I gave up on love so that i do not become a burden on anyone with my blood disorder. but when i see you two it fills my heart with joy and I found my self, I love to see people in love and happy, it full fills my heart, it gives me strength, it helps me to know there is a god. Love is love, a girl with a girl, boy with boy man and woman, different needs and nationalities, that is what true love is expressing and no shame in the game. You guys are young and serve a great strong example to the world. My daughter is about her age and my son is about his age and my daughter is married and my son is too and he has a baby...... so when i see you both, is like as if either she was my child or he was my son and i learned to sincerely love you both as my kids. I respect the both of you, honestly such great great people.
Wow I’m so shocked by the way people behave! Just know I love you guys and hope my well wishes help xoxo
My favourite couple can't wait for you guys to reach 1ml subs. First to comment 🤗
"Bring him the milk" I have not laughed so hard in so long.
People are just ignorant. I love watching and hearing your videos.
Good for you both calling these people out hopefully they will see the video and correct thier behavior in the future.
This made me laugh and laugh. You two are so funny. Your interactions with other people must be so interesting. Love your channel. I admire your strength.
"The Burcaws send their regards." - someone visiting that restaurant, hopefully
Match tracking numbers on the packages to orders. I've had to do that so many times this year.
You guys soften my heart the more i watch . I will never be able to thank you for this. LOTS OF LOVE.
@TheRealDeal ?
I've read other replys you made i hope life keeps treatng you the way you treat others. It sounds like you bring it on your self.
Something I love SO MUCH about your videos is how incredibly hilarious you are. I laugh so hard watching your videos. My opinion is that you should deeply consider taking on stand up comedy. I am a fan. Love you guys dearly!
Love you guys! 💗
From where I sit, your tree has a frosty beer mug for a decoration. True?!🍺
Yep. I’m pretty sure that was the one Shane put on the tree himself in the tree decorating video.
@@caleigh2114 That is so great! Lol!
Looks like to me too! Perfect ornament for Shane because he loves a beer sometimes!!!
@@tiffanymims8691 From the waitress story, I think he gets a lot of heck for enjoying a tall frosty one. Lol!
wow the lighting on this particular video is really good. i know the audio was kind of being tested, but nice job on the lighting!
Wow, my jaw hit the floor when you told the story of the kid and his "checked out" parents. That's insane. So sorry you encountered such a person.
Shane's expression while describing that he had to keep his dignity while eating the lollipop ended me 😂
I would have taken the lollipop.
I feel like if I was Shane, I would just want to get take-out... But I love how he's willing to embrace the awkwardness!
Thank you and Hannah and Shane AND ALL THEE FAMILY---- We love YOU ALL, Thank you ALL for being SPECIAL, God PUT an LIGHT on it on PURPOSE !!!!!!
I am so sad that you had that experience in Stillwater! It is one of my favorite places, I grew up 20 miles from there. I hope you go back and don't hold the bad experience of one family, who probably are not even locals, against the whole town. My hubby is from there and we were married there 25 years ago. We would love to show you some of our favite spots!
