H: Why
S: The minute we sit down to film something Chloe needs all of the attention in the world
H: Yup S: She says, are you busy?
H: She's like hello, your priority is here S: Your priority
H: She's not leaving me alone
S: Okay, we wanted to set up the camera because we have another episode
S: Of the horrific, horrific never ending misery that is Shane's terrible stress dreams
H: Ohhh, Shane actually had a dream the other night that we are not even gonna share
H: It's so disturbing and horrible, but this one
H: is like one level down of disturbing, so we're gonna share this one
S: The one I'm not gonna talk about was a vividly realistic depiction of hell
S: Like actually it was about being in hell H: The physical torture?
S: The physical torture, yeah, different ways of being hurt
H: Does that having anything to do with the book you're reading right now?
H: Crime and punishment, is that like a dark book? Are you getting ideas or something?
S: It's not, no, I mean it's dark in that it's about murder and depravity
H: Well S: But not, I mean it's one murder
H: Yeah, it doesn't talk about hell S: And it's not like torture
S: Or anything like that, anyway H: Hmm
[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]
S: The dream I just had, I was playing my Nintendo Switch
S: Hannah's Nintendo Switch H: Thank you
S: And it was like a virtual reality thing, kind of like a la Pokemon Go
S: Is that the name of it? H: Yeah
S: Where the environment is like real on your screen
S: And then it puts things into it, virtual reality wise
H: And what did you name the game?
S: The game in my dream was called Creep H: Something you would never play in real life
S: No. But we were at our house and I was playing and the point of the game
S: Was that you look at your screen and you see your house, whatever room you're in
S: Through the screen, and you move around and things try to scare you
S: So the game was like, go into the bedroom, it was like bedtime
S: So I'm looking at my screen, I go into the bedroom
S: Apparently in this dream world I'm able to play a switch and drive my wheelchair
S: Simultaneously, so I'm looking down and I go into the bedroom
S: And in the screen I see a closet and the door opens
S: And this thing with its neck sideways, kind of like me actually
S: This faceless, almost zombie type character
H: Like flesh hanging off? S: Yeah, yeah
H: Like undead? S: I don't remember it being flesh
S: I almost feel like the face was a rucksack bag, not a rucksack
S: What's the word? What the coffee comes in, that material
H: Oh, yeah, burlap S: Burlap, what was I saying?
H: [laughs] Rucksack, are you talking about that thing, what was that movie we watched?
H: With that little guy? S: Yeah, it was from that movie, I remember
S: Terror.. H: Trick or treat, it's called trick or treat
S: But anyway yeah H: Hold on, I want everyone to see
S: It wasn't a round head like that
H: It's this, this is what I'm thinking of S: Yeah, show them
S: So like that, but not that, same material different shape
S: It looked more alien like, like tall and slender
H: Maybe it was me S: Turns out it was just Hannah stumbling out of bed
S: It comes out of the closet, and it is holding a life sized
S: Also dead, stuffed bunny rabbit but old and worn out
S: So it's holding this in front of its chest and I see it on the screen
S: And dread just fills my body I'm like this is an evil creature, like aaah
S: So I'm too scared to play the game anymore, so I put the Switch down
S: And I look up and in my bedroom the creature is there in real life
S: It wasn't part of the game H: Wow
S: And it all kind of horrifyingly dawns on me
S: That this was just real life happening, the game wasn't even a thing
S: So I was scared, I woke up right away, cried myself back to sleep
S: I don't know why I get these stress dreams
H: I don't know but they're horrifying, they're terrible
S: I'm always stressed H: I know
S: Gotta work on that H: I know
S: I need to listen to soothing music before bed
H: We did last night, we slept better last night because that was two nights ago
H: That you had that dream S: Oh, you're right you're right
H: Yeah we put on a spotify playlist called instrumental study
H: It's nice and calming
S: Try to slow Shane's mind down a little bit
S: Give it a nice gentle easing into sleep H: Like a lullaby
S: Alright well back to work now H: What are you doing?
S: What am I working on? H: Yeah what are you working on?
S: Are we still leaving this in the video? H: Yeah, I don't know, sure
S: I'm sending sponsorship requests
S: For the 9th annual virtual Laughing at My Nightmare 5k
H: Nice S: Everyone, you're welcome--
S: I'm gonna make this an ad now H: Oh
S: If you are interested in signing up for our virtual 5k
S: Last year we had over 400 people sign up, this year I'm aiming for 500
S: That's a very small percentage of all of you that will watch this video
H: True S: So if you want to run a 5k
S: Or a one mile walk, for a great cause, Laughing at My Nightmare Inc
S: We provide equipment to people that live with muscular dystrophy
S: We provide Covid relief to people that live with any disability
S: And we provide free disability awareness training for children all over the world
H: Training seems like the wrong word when you follow it with 'for children'
S: Training is not the right word, disability awareness...
H: Like talks S: Lessons, yeah
H: For children
S: I meet with students and I teach them about disability
H: You train them, very vigorously
S: Now listen up, this is a disability, say it with me [laughs]
S: I can't hear you! H: Okay, Shane
S: The lessons are nothing like that
S: But all the money that we raise, this is our biggest event of the year
S: The virtual 5k, you can run or walk it or roll it
S: From wherever in the world you are, and then you send us photos of you
S: And your time if you like, and we post them, we have a leaderboard
S: It's a whole fun thing H: Yeah
S: You can get a t-shirt
H: I was gonna say, you haven't talked about what you get yet
H: That always motivates me to sign up for things
S: You can get a goodie bag with laughing at my nightmare merch
S: Some of it designed by yours truly, so expect it to be terrible
H: You designed stuff? What did you design? S: I don't know
S: Well each year I design like, the one where I put our logo on a pair of sunglasses
H: Ohhh, yeah S: When I say design I mean very like...
H: I was gonna say, what the hell did you design? S: [laughs]
S: But yeah, I'll put the sign up link below, if you're interested
S: it's a fun time H: I wish we could go in person
S: Yeah H: It's so fun in person
S: Yeah, for seven years it was in person
S: In Bethlehem, you might remember our old vlogs
S: Hannah and I used to drive back to PA to attend the 5k
H: Yeah
S: But because of the pandemic we're holding off on that for this year
S: Doing it all virtual
H: That's nice S: What are you working on?
H: Just, um...I'm solving problems S: Oh I see what you're working on right here
S: Solving problems?
H: Mm hmm S: What does that mean?
H: Just like solving some important problems
S: What kind of problems?
H: I don't know, like I'll give you an example
H: like in this one, Greg a pharmacist has received 5 prescription orders
H: All within a short space of time, it's crucial that he makes absolutely sure
H: To give everyone the proper pills and advice
H: Help him sort out the proper medicines, pill sizes and recommended dosage
H: For each of the five customers S: Greg has a problem on his hands
H: I solved it S: He should not be outsourcing that problem
H: I fixed his problem, I have done 86 of these
S: Hannah has been doing a lot puzzles, like a tornado
H: Yeah S: She's flying through this book
H: Yeah I really love this book, so this is what I'm working on
H: I will eventually do something that has a little bit more of a tangible effect
H: On our real world, but I start my morning with logic puzzles
S: A couple weeks ago my mom asked Hannah like what are you guys doing?
S: And Hannah was like I'm doing logic puzzles, and my mom was like I LOVE LOGIC PUZZLES
H: Your mom pulled out a book that she had that was like a bunch of different kinds of puzzles
S: So Hannah sent her the same book and they've been doing them together
S: I don't think my mom's been doing as many as you are
H: I got a headstart and I do them frantically S: You have a 60 puzzle head start
H: I really really really enjoy these so that's what I'm doing
H: But I'll eventually get--I'm gonna edit this
S: We have some other videos to make, we only have a few more days here in Florida
H: Ohhh S: That's sad
S: It's 9 degrees in Minneapolis right now H: I'm not leaving, I'm literally not leaving Shane
H: They're gonna have to drag my dead body out of this house because I'm not leaving
S: That sounds like one of my other dreams that I had
H: Yeah. It's 9 degrees, 9 degrees if you missed that, in Minneapolis today
H: And we're not going back S: Do you know how cold that is?
H: Too cold for us S: I mean many of you who live there do
H: I really don't want to go back S: Look at these arms
S: Do they look like they can weather 9 degrees?
H: Do you know how quickly 9 degrees cuts through the ribcage of this tiny boy?
H: Very quickly S: [laughs] Fast
H: Very fast S: It's almost inhumane
H: It's a medical problem that's keeping us from going back
S: If we could get a doctor to write a medical note that says
S: I need to relocate somewhere warm
H: Shane the only thing stopping us from relocating is us
H: Who are you writing that note to?
S: Well I don't want to buy a house, I want someone to give us a house
S: Because of this medical note H: True, that would be nice
S: I need more coffee oh my god, I'm falling asleep
H: Okay, shall we go? S: We should
H: I guess our vlogs are just this style now
H: Train of thought S: Well today's is..
S: As we've said, we're not really doing things H: Yeah
S: We're staying here in the house most days H: We're staying here
S: We have to be safe, it's also cloudy and raining H: Kinda cloudy, it's not raining
S: Everything's wet H: It was the raining overnight so it's still wet
H: But it's not raining now and it's not supposed to rain
S: You told me it wasn't gonna rain today H: Yeah it's starting at 7pm
H: Nothing the rest of the day
S: It's actually pretty warm it's like 70 H: I know, yeah
S: We could go in the pool but it's not sunny
H: No...no one cares S: I'm gonna send emails from the pool
H: Alright S: After I drink my coffee
S: Goodbye everyone H: Bye
