S: Hello, we're here H: Yes, we are here, are we starting now?
I don't know if that'll be the real beginning
Yeah
Is it? Are you saying it is?
Yeah, hello
Hi, welcome, welcome back to another soul stirring rendition of Monday Grub-bag
And our last video was last Monday and we didn't put up a video in between
Yeah we did, yesterday
Oh wait, we did, never mind, I forgot about that video
Make sure you leave that in, we're leaving that in 100%
Well, cause yes last night we put up a video at like 6pm
But the whole week I was like oh my god, I'm not gonna get a video up
And then our two videos back to back will be our Monday videos
We promise when our book is done, we're gonna get back to more consistent videos
We're hanging in there
But we have videos that are almost ready, it's just been...
I think this week we'll have a lot, anyway none of you care about this
Yeah, this week we'll be good to go
Monday Grub-bag, Monday Grub-bag, Monday Grub-bag
Are you excited?
The new weekly Monday series where we answer your most burning questions
If you have questions for us, put them in the comments below
That's where we get the ideas for these questions
I think that we can give ourselves a pat on the back
For the fact that we are doing this again, our second Monday in a row
H: Let's not overlook that accomplishment S: That is consistency
Alright, I texted you the questions, these were all grabbed for...
Oh my god, I almost threw up, these were...
What? No no, don't move on, what happened?
It was one of those burps where it becomes much more than a burp
And I was caught off guard
Ew
Does that happen to anyone else?
I really wish I hadn't asked
(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)
These were all taken from the comment section of last week
Is what Shane was trying to say before he threw up
Here we go, number one
Alright, starting with number one
Actually, you know what, right above this is my picture of the moon
Can I just show this really quickly?
Oh my god, no
I took this... oh, you know what, it's not focusing, come on
Oh, that's too bad
Come on, no no
Why don't you just put it in in the edit?
Oh, you're right, it's not working
You know what, I'll just put the picture, I'm very proud of it, anyway
You just wasted one minute of their day
That was like 5 seconds
Question number one, and everybody cares, I bet there'll be comments that are like
"I care about Hannah's picture of the moon, Shane you're rude"
That's what they'll say
Fair enough
Alright, question number one, this is a question that we get all the time
Are we starting an Only Fans?
It's usually phrased as like, would you ever, do you have one
I think I get a message about this every single day
I get messages about it being like
"Hey, would you please ask your wife to start an Only Fans?"
They don't want one for me
In case you don't know what Only Fans is, I assume mostly everyone does
But it's a site where we would upload content, photos, videos
And you would have to pay to access it
The big reason that people use Only Fans, or one of the big reasons
Is you're allowed to upload nudity and porn
So that is why people use Only Fans
And that's what they want from us
Yep
The answer is no, we're not making an Only Fans
But... this is gonna sound weird
We've talked about it
Yeah, we've talked, obviously because we get these questions and we're like ha ha ha
But then we're like "can you imagine?"
And then we're like "we would probably make a lot of money"
Like should we just do it and then disappear from the face of the earth?
Yeah, that's the thing, and I'm being serious here, I know it's a weird subject
But really imagine, for yourself, if you could upload some photos and videos
Of yourself, naked, and know with a pretty high level of certainty
That you're gonna make a substantial amount of money
Which I believe we probably would
Would you be tempted?
Yeah, tempted, but then you remember that you have family members and a life
And obviously people do it and it's totally fine
But it's not something that we would ever be comfortable with
It's not in our wheelhouse
And I feel like right now we're prioritizing being able to do speaking engagements
For (bleep)
Oh my god, don't call out specific brands, I'm gonna bleep that out
No one wants to be in this video
That's somewhere where we've spoken, but I'm just saying
We probably won't be able to do the corporate advocacy for disability that we do
If we go that route of selling naked photos of ourselves
Yeah, exactly
I mean, the money is...
There's just two different paths and we're just sticking on our path
But it is a question that we get all the time
So no, Hannah has a website out there that's photos of her feet
Shane..
That's a little bit different
Go looking for it, it is out there
That is not funny, you know what, someone's gonna make a fake version of that website now
No, it's gonna be all the weird troll people
That are gonna just spend an hour looking for it and it's not there
Spoiler, it doesn't exist
Okay, question number two
Does Shane get sore from sitting in the same position all day?
Yes, it's a problem, I don't love getting out of my chair
Because I'm not very productive out of my chair
So I sit in it all day, and behind my knees I get pretty sore on my skin
From not moving all day, my tailbone as you know, has had a pressure sore
On and off for a while now, and that hurts
But then generally my muscles, they do ache at the end of the day
And Hannah will help me, we get in bed, she'll move my legs around
Move my arms around, so that helps
But yeah, I do get sore
Yep, but I think you don't get as sore as like, I would if I sat in the same position all day
Oh, yeah
Like I think you're relatively used to it
My body is pretty much in this position for good now
Yeah, so it's not like all of a sudden someone who doesn't use a wheelchair
Sat all day in the exact same position, it's different than that
But definitely still sore
This brings to mind something that's related but not really related
It's that because throughout my whole life my primary position has been in my chair
I am giddy about new positions...
Sounds like something we might say on Only Fans
I know, like where are you going with this?
For instance, like 3 years ago we were laying in bed
And I was like, Hannah
Oh, yeah (laughs)
"Pick me up and lay me on top of you"
Yeah, "pull me over on top of you"
And she did, and it was what you'd imagine
I was flailing all over, but I was having so much fun
Cause it was like a brand new position that my body had never felt before
Yeah, uh huh
I think that's why I like swimming
Yeah, true
Cause I can be in all new positions and move around, yeah
True, and you also do like sitting in things other than your wheelchair
Like you'll see, we were at Home Goods once
And they had these little miniature recliners for kids, and Shane was like "I need that"
And we didn't end up buying it cause I was like that looks ridiculous
Where are we gonna put it?
Maybe for your birthday I'll get you a little mini recliner
I'll have a little recliner next to the fireplace where I can smoke my pipe
And think about the universe while I listen to the fire crackle
Yeah, so Shane seeing new things that he can sit in is very exciting for him
I'll be wearing a velvet robe that's a little bit open in the front
This is also for your Only Fans
Okay, what's the most messed up question people ask?
That's a good one, I have one, do you want to do one or shall I just do mine?
Well obviously the first one that comes to mind is how do you have sex?
Like very specific questions, that's a cliche, I'm sick of talking about it
I'm trying to think of something else, the most messed up question people ask
I can do mine for one of yours
Go ahead, yeah
So the hardest one for me is when people bring up all of their perceived ways
That I am a burden to Hannah
And when someone just says "you're a burden to Hannah"
That one I can just ignore pretty easily
But there are people who write paragraphs detailing the various ways
That I probably in their mind, burden Hannah and ruin her life
And sometimes they are real actual things that I occasionally feel bad about
In our relationship, like not being able to cook her a meal when she's not feeling well
I know logically I can help her in a variety of ways
And we've talked about me being a burden and how I'm not, in Hannah's opinion
But when people go out of their way to tell me that I am a burden
And I'm already having problems overcoming that feeling, that one is messed up
Yep, and it usually ends with a question of like, Hannah why are you doing this?
There is a question part, yeah I think that's a good answer
Yeah, that's pretty messed up
Yep
What do you both see as your biggest area of weakness?
Oooh, good one
I feel like Shane's gonna make some sort of joke about his lower legs or something
Some area of his body
Now I'm not because you stole my punchline
(Both laugh)
I know, I have one, kind of
I mean I don't know exactly how I'll phrase it
But essentially I think something to do with socializing
Anxiety around socializing, like being uncomfortable in new situations and stuff
I think that's my biggest weakness
Because sometimes I just don't go to things because I'm like, ugh, I don't...
Yeah, and you're like "I'll have to talk to people there that I don't know?"
Yeah, "and I've never been there, where's the door, is there parking?"
Like I just won't go places, so I think that's probably my biggest weakness
Yeah, I think mine might be, I have a very hard time deviating from the plan
When we decide on a plan, I can give you an example from yesterday
Yesterday morning, Hannah and I had agreed the night before
To wake up at 9am
It was a Sunday, for context
And this isn't really about our sleeping preferences
But I, in my mind, went to bed that night with the plan that I would wake up at 9
And so I kinda laid there falling asleep
H: Can I just say something? S: Yeah
About how different we are, Shane going to bed thinking we're getting up at 9
It wasn't like a conversation, we didn't set an alarm
No
Shane said, should we maybe get up at 8.30 tomorrow?
And I was like oh, maybe 9, it's Sunday, why would we get up at 8.30?
That's a good point
And in Shane's mind he was like 9am
And I was like, eh, I don't exactly what time I said, you know?
Yeah, that's my weakness, I cement plans in my mind
And then I build my day around them
Yeah, and then at 9.30..
So at 9.30, when we were not awake yet
Well, I was awake, Hannah was still sleeping
Yeah, you woke up and you were like it's 9.30
And I was like hey, you said 9
And Hannah was like yeah, I'm really tired, whatever
But I was like "but that was the plan"
The plan, I can't deviate from the plan once I have it cemented in my brain
Yep
S: And I wish I could be more.. H: Flexible
Go with the flow, everything's gonna be fine
I am that way in other ways, when we're travelling and we hit an obstacle
I can deal with it, but once I have a plan, I have to follow the plan
Alright, next question, oh it's the last question
Is Shane in a wheelchair in his dreams?
I feel like we've gotten this one a lot over the years
We have, the answer is yes
It hasn't always been yes, when I was younger I often dreamed
That I was running or skateboarding or surfing
Cause those were the things that were a big part of my world at that time
Like I was really into skateboarding when I was 11
And I think my thinking about disability back then was a lot more like
"Oh, I don't want to be disabled"
So that was how I dreamed, now as I've grown and matured, sort of
And become a lot more comfortable and proud of being disabled and who I am
I dream in my wheelchair, or when I dream I'm in my wheelchair
I think that's kinda neat, obviously I don't think it means anything really
But I think it's kinda cool that now my subconscious is...
The default is that I'm in my wheelchair
Yeah, I think that is really cool
Are you in a wheelchair in your dreams?
No, I am not
Huh, we'll get there
That'll be my growth
Your arc
I'll finish in a wheelchair
(laughs) From spending so much time with me
Uh huh, but when I dream about you, you're in a wheelchair
Do you?
Yeah, no one asks me that
That's offensive
(Both laugh)
Alright everyone, that is Monday Grub-bag episode two
We'll be back next Monday
We'll be back before next Monday
We'll be back before next Monday, I know we have a few videos this week
Yeah, so get ready
Thank you for your questions, put your other questions below
Try to make them fun, you know?
That sounds like these weren't, oh my god that was so rude
That's not what I meant, I meant like really dig deep
Dig deep, yeah
Alright, bye
Bye
See, you have to be recording, you don't even know anything about this
This is the set up that we'll put at the end
Oh, shoot, there's a plant on my chair
Ah, this is the difficulties that we deal with
Does the camera look like it's tipped to the left a little bit?
Probably, but it doesn't really matter
Doesn't matter if we're just crooked? We'll just be like this?
We'll lean our heads the other way to compensate
It looks almost perfect, well yeah, it is a little bit...
It's a little sideways
Oh my god
Sorry everyone, just going for perfection
Yeah
Now it's green, the little level on the camera is green
Ah, so before you just ignored the level?
Yeah
(Shane laughs)
Pretty good to me
