h: we are going on a trip, a flight s: we have a speaking engagement
h: yep, just one night s: flying in less than 24 hours to orlando
h: but we still have to do all the preparation
h: so we're trying to figure out how to most safely, you know
s: secure all my wires
h: and we have a lot more stuff than we did last time we flew
h: like a year and a half ago s: stuff
s: we have our handy dandy repairwoman [laughs]
h: she has literal screwdrivers in her hands, it's perfect
[intro song] hello, hello, welcome to the show, welcome to the show
welcome to the show, it's time to talk about our lives [Chloe bark]
h: it's the night before our flight, and since it's been so long since we've flown
h: we kind of forget how to set up the carseat on the plane
h: like where to put all the pillows, there's literally 15 pillows
h: and we don't know where they all go
h: so we are taking this time to do a test run with the car seat and the pillows
h: make sure we know what we're doing before we're in the high pressure situation
h: of actually getting on the plane tomorrow
s: I'm not involved
h: ah, you've got one shoe
h: lets try without it, I don't know
s: hi everyone
h: oh yeah, is that better? s: yeah probably
s: now picture people walking by, staring at us [laughs]
h: this goes on your side s: yeah
s: can you get your phone over here? h: yeah
s: as we have been measuring my chair and calling the airline to make sure it fits
s: in the cargo door, removing all my wires, taping them up
s: removing my Jaco arm, figuring out how to remove my joystick
s: bringing out the old car seat, figuring out the pillows
s: calling the airline again today h: my arm's getting tired [laughs]
s: to make sure that they are ready for us
s: the thought keeps coming to my mind, why aren't wheelchairs allowed on airplanes
h: mm hmm
h: our fellow passengers, the other people that will be traveling for Orlando
h: probably haven't even started thinking about their journey yet
h: they certainly haven't been running simulations
h: and trying to figure out how to best prepare their bodies for the flight
s: duct taping things h: no, probably not
h: most of them probably are not doing that
s: we are grateful that we're able to do this
h: yeah
s: like there are tons of people that can't do what we're doing right now
s: because they don't have the resources or whatever
h: yep s: but it shouldn't be that way
s: look at me h: I know, this is ridiculous
s: you know what would've been a really good ending right there?
s: if when I said, I flopped off the couch and ended up in the ER
h: [laughs] okay
h: oh my god
s: if you had a hundred guesses, you would not be able to guess what we just found
s: in our bag that all of these pillows are in
h: it's the same bag we always use, last time we used it was a year and a half ago
s: go ahead, guess h: what do you think we found?
h: I unzipped the pocket, I pulled this out, shall I reveal it ?
s: go ahead
h: you probably didn't guess
h: the world's most decomposed banana
h: it is hard as a rock, I thought it was a piece of leather
s: that has been in our basement decomposing, we never knew
h: yep s: ew
h: oh my god s: ew ew ew
h: thank you to Bright Cellars for sponsoring this video
h: Shane has been using Bright Cellars to get wine delivered to our house
h: for over a year, which is great
h: and every wine box comes with these cards that teach you about the bottles
h: that are in there
h: has all sorts of information about it, it's really interesting
h: unfortunately this has led Shane to believe that he is a wine connoisseur
h: and it is unbearable
s: helloooo, my name is Shane Burcaw and welcome to Gulps with Grubs
s: today we are going to be trying a [unintelligble] Pinot Grigio
h: assistant? s: first, I will sniff
s: [snorts loudly] ah s: really let it infiltrate your nostrils
s: [snorts]
s: and now, we sip
s: [slurps]
s: [makes weird noises]
s: [sings]
s: now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a sip of wine
s: alright, we're gonna tell you what we love about Bright Cellars
s: but honestly my favorite favorite part is that it allows me
s: to have wine in the middle of the day while we're doing a brand deal
s: thank you Bright Cellars
h: Shane loves trying new wines and Bright Cellars matches you to wines
h: from all over the world curated to your palate
h: all you need to do is take their simple 7 question quiz
h: and they'll deliver you wines you're guaranteed to like
h: if you don't like a bottle you've been sent
h: they'll send you a replacement one in your next shipment
h: after your first order you can log into your account to rate the wines
h: you've received on a scale of 1-5
h: so that the next round of bottles are even better suited to your tastes
h: over the year that Shane's been using Bright Cellars
h: he loves the wines more each time
h: having the wine delivered to your door is so much easier
h: than going to the store and trying to pick wines
h: based on what their labels look like
h: Bright Cellars is giving our followers an exclusive 60% off
h: their first 4-bottle box plus a bonus bottle
h: that's five bottles in total which is a great value
h: follow our link below to support our channel
h: and take the quiz to get started
s: we're going to Orlando
[music]
s: can't fly without having Dunkin, Shane runs on Dunkin
h: we didn't even get coffee, we got donuts and hash browns
l: [laughs] what? h: how's it going so far, mom?
l: pretty smoothly, haven't lost anything h: nope
l: we're on time, we're eating h: all good
l: all good
s: we left the bag on the back of my chair that has all of the electrical
s: and battery components for my Jaco arm so could've been a big problem
s: at security
h: but we literally couldn't take it off, it's wired into the chair
s: yeah, the TSA people were training someone
s: and he went back there, and he says to the guy
s: alright, this bag is a medical device, we're gonna leave that alone
s: and I was like alright
s: pretty busy
[music]
s: all good? l: are you comfy?
h: a lot of pillows there l: a lot of pillow
s: Hannah my joystick can fold around, you know?
h: yeah, I'll fix it
l: hi [laughs] h: hi mom
s: Liz got upgraded h: a free upgrade
l: she got a free upgrade, randomly picked
h: what the heck s: first time
h: I know, now we have a barricade between us
h: she was supposed to sit here
s: the bourgeoise in the front first class
h: yeah
l: I wish it was a night flight I could at least drink
h: oh my god
s: this neck brace is so nice h: yeah, comfy
h: and all the pillows, you have 2 pillows behind you, see?
s: shall we talk about our entourage? h: oh yeah
h: when we arrived at our gate there were 2 people, 3 people waiting for us
s: and we have a theory
h: we have a theory it's because Shane posted on Instagram last night
h: being like, I'm flying tomorrow Delta, don't break my wheelchair
s: and tons of people tagged Delta h: exactly, so we think they saw it
s: and that's nice of them
h: yeah, they were all very helpful individual people
h: but they don't give that same treatment to everyone, so
s: yeah, it's nice to have that level of assistance
s: but not everyone gets that h: yeah
s: so like good job, thank you Delta, but also do that for everyone
s: that would be amazing h: yeah, that would be amazing
s: and allow wheelchairs on airplanes h: yeah, make some moves towards that
s: then this wouldn't have to be done
[music]
h: there's the chair l: oh
l: oh now they have to lift it h: why don't they just unlock it, I wonder
h: it's locked l: cause otherwise it would roll down
l: they think it'll roll down there h: no, it's tilted
h: maybe they're looking for it, it's between his legs
h: they need to unlock it
l: read the sign, bud, read the sign
l: it's gonna be here
s: what are they doing?
h: they can't get it to go because they won't unlock it
f: hi s: hello
f: can we get a key?
h: they just came and asked if they need a key to unlock the chair
h: and we're like no, there's a giant sign on it
h: that says exactly where the brake, big yellow tape
h: and instructions on the chair on how to unlock it
h: I think they're gonna unlock it now
[music]
h: here we go s: have fun
[music]
l: alright, it's this thing here, the footrest
l: I'm sure it slides up but how does it...
h: it needs, um... the tool's in Shane's backpack
h: okay, that's fine l: it's kind of staying
h: but the tool's in his backpack l: yeah
h: it won't turn on s: ohhh
h: is there anything...I can't think of anything besides the main plug
s: the plug is in the brake? no, yeah
h: the brake is, I can't... I just can't get it to turn on
s: uhh h: and so I can't get the backrest up
s: yeah
s: is the wire in the joystick? h: yeah
s: like that area?
h: yeah, the wire from the joystick is plugged into the wire..
h: you know, the one we always just disconnect and tape up
s: yeah
h: the only thing I can think of is it got too hot?
s: I don't know h: and it won't turn on?
h: but it doesn't feel hot, I felt the battery
h: and I'm like oh my god, I don't know what to do
s: yeah, jesus christ
h: there's like 15 people standing there I don't know what to do
s: yeah
s: are you filming? h: yeah
h: I don't know what to do
h: I can't get the backrest up so I can't put Shane in the chair
l: I know h: I don't know what to do
s: like for right now, they could push it out to the lobby
h: at the end of the thing?
s: and we could ride a chair out or something?
h: or can you sit in it with the back way back?
h: with pillows behind you maybe so it's more comfortable?
s: I have no idea, I don't know
s: no I'm not going to be pushed around, probably not, I don't know
l: but then Hannah would have to carry you out all the way to the lobby and then..
s: or sit in an aisle chair, is what I was thinking
h: both of us? s: yeah
h: I think it would still be easier if you sat in that
s: okay h: I don't know
s: I can try h: I don't know
l: let's go look at it again
m: what is the...? l: it won't turn on
m: oh, oh
h: yeah, I don't have any other ideas, so
h: you know, it just goes into the chair, it goes into the base
l: which wire goes to the battery? h: this, this wire
l: this big one? h: yeah
h: so maybe we can figure out how to get Shane in it
h: if we put a pillow here
h: yeah, it's not turning on, so we're just gonna put you in the pillows
s: yeah, like lying down kind of?
h: yeah, no no no, I think you're gonna be able to sit up normally
h: because it's just the back that's back
s: how far back is it? h: like all the way
h: but we're just gonna put pillows as a backrest and you'll sit normally
l: these things will go behind him? h: yeah, okay let's go
s: fun fun fun
[dramatic music]
s: okay, we are....I am being pushed h: [laughs]
s: to baggage claim h: yep
s: where they're gonna have a wheelchair repair person company something
both: take a look h: yep
s: my chair has never not turned on h: no
s: that's like a new injury for my chair h: yeah, that's not good
h: and there's nothing visible that's wrong so that's worrisome
s: also your camera makes my freckles look like...
h: I know, I've said that before, it's really contrasted, very detailed
s: yeah
h: I was gonna say something, I can't remember what now
h: oh, the chair is stuck completely reclined, we reclined the back all the way
h: so that it would be a lot lower for the plane door
h: but Shane can kind of sit upright in it
h: but his straps, he can't reach his straps because the seat back...
h: I'll show you, there's like 3 feet between the seat back
h: and his shoulders so can't get in a car right now
h: we're stuck at the airport
s: trying to get the wheelchair company, they were gonna meet us...
s: like we got down here and they were like
s: the wheelchair people will meet you at the hotel
s: but I can't get in a car like this h: yeah
h: he needs his straps to get in the car
h: and the straps don't reach from, I literally can't even reach
h: from way back there by the handlebar 3 feet to his shoulder
s: plus pushing me into a car h: we can't get you in a taxi
s: you can barely push me
s: it took about an hour to push me from the gate down here cause it's so heavy
h: yeah, they were like what is this, 500 pounds?
s: and we were like yep, 450 both: [laugh]
h: oh, I was about to say we're in remarkably good spirits
h: for what's happening s: we're handling it well so far
h: yeah s: give it an hour
h: [laughs]
s: okay, yep, my height is 4' 7"
s: he's asking about a replacement but...
h: for the day? s: it won't be a chair like this
h: no s: he said I'm gonna call vendors
s: and see if I can get someone to come to the airport
h: oh my god, maybe ask the conference organizer if she knows anyone
s: she said that they have a vendor
h: my only concern is then the airline's not gonna pay for it
h: like we need to use their people s: be viable, yeah
s: well let's see if they find someone h: okay
s: he's gonna call me h: okay
h: his footrest was in the seat of Shane's chair when we got to the chair
l: this was sitting here, the footrest h: oh boy
h: after the flight, which I don't even know how that's possible
h: because they're screwed in and then we duct taped them
h: into a locked position so they wouldn't flop around
h: so I have no idea how someone managed to get one off, but now it's loose
h: it almost just fell onto my foot which would've really hurt
h: cause these are like 20 pounds
h: I'm holding it and my mom's trying to find a wrench
s: [laughs] it's in my bookbag, does she know that?
h: it's in his bookbag mom, oh are there some in that one too?
h: I know they're in the front of his bookbag
l: alright h: thank you
s: this is why you always bring tools h: I know, lots of tools
h: oh yeah, super loose s: nailed it
s: alright Hannah, now can you make my chair turn on?
h: yeah, I know s: [laughs]
h: I know I am handy, okay, it's tight, is this one? was this also off?
l: no, that was not off, that was just sitting on the seat
h: yeah, how'd they get it off? it was duct taped up
l: I know h: it was screwed in
s: someone angry h: yeah, vicious
s: vendetta against my chair
s: alright, we got a phonecall from someone at the conference
s: that we're speaking at and they're a wheelchair vendor
s: and they talked us through the repair, Hannah you did it right?
h: yeah s: Hannah fixed it, and I can drive again
h: yep s: so thank you to Scott
h: yeah s: from Custom Mobility for helping me
