S: What? Oh my god, what?! H: (laughs)
S: (laughs) Oh my god
H: Thank you to Google for sponsoring this video
(singing) Happy birthday dear Shane, cha cha cha, happy birthday to you
Yay!
S: Alright, don't drop it on me here L: I will not drop it on you
S: Don't step on the dog A: If you do, get it on video
S: Nah, you said you had insurance (laughter)
(cheering)
A: Who was that glorious baritone? H: Oh my god (laughs)
S: Hi H: Hello
S: I'm almost 30 H: I know
We're going out to dinner for Shane's birthday
S: Ah, I'm so excited H: Shane picked a new place
A new place, and that comes with some accessibility concerns
It's very brave of you to pick a new place for your birthday
Yeah, I'm not always that brave, but as a 30 year old
I feel, in addition to wiser, smarter, more worldly, a bit more brave
And so I'm branching out
And thank you to Google for sponsoring this video
With Google, I'm able to really check into the accessibility of it all
I can find out if they have steps, if they have accessible parking
H: That's a big one S: I love it
And it makes going out to new places a lot more comfortable
S: That I don't have to worry H: Yeah
We had a call with a Google team before making this video
To talk about their accessibility
They gave us this whole presentation about all the accessibility features
That they are making one of the core values of their company
And we're not even going to get into all of them now because there's so many
But it was amazing to sit there and hear these people passionately talking
About all these different kinds of accessibility
And some of them are extremely helpful for Shane
Some of them are extremely helpful for other people
It was so cool to hear from a company as big as Google about accessibility
In such a huge way, you know?
Yeah, like the fact that one of their top line items for their entire company
Being "Accessibility", I was sitting there and I was like, yes, Google, you care
S: I'm joking but it was amazing H: Yeah, it really was
And we use Google maps every single day, we check the accessibility features
Of everywhere that we visit
Our go-to things, anywhere we go
I'm like well did you check Google if they marked off 'Accessible'
Wheelchair accessible options, yep
Love it
So it's such a huge part of our lives and it's amazing to hear
That it's also a huge part of Google's company
It's a big part of our night tonight
H: It is, Shane, it's almost your birthday S: (whispers) It's almost my birthday
H: Are you ready for your birthday dinner? S: I don't know... yes, I'm ready
I'm almost 30 (sighs)
(music)
Okay, so, it is Shane's 30th birthday
Last year I did a video just like this
Where I was in this exact spot being like "Shane's family is coming for a surprise"
And that is not happening this year sadly
I did the big surprise for the 29th birthday
But I wanted to plan something special for Shane this weekend
And I'd heard about a company in Minneapolis who does luxury picnics
You book them and they set it all up for you
And I was like that will be perfect for Shane's birthday, he will absolutely love that
So I booked them and they are in the yard like right behind this wall right now
Setting up the picnic and Shane has no idea
And then our wedding designers are doing a bunch of little touches for us
So they're all outside getting everything ready
I'm keeping Shane inside on the other side of the house
Luckily this wall has no windows so Shane cannot see
But I'm really excited to see what it looks like
And now I'm going to get ready
I'm really excited
Alright, Shane, are you ready for your surprise?
It's out there?
It's outside
You ready?
What is it?
I'm not gonna tell you
Is it a new car?
It's not a car
You know I can't drive
(Hannah laughs) Go ahead
I don't see it
It's not here yet
Is this a trap of some kind?
(Hannah laughs) Uh huh
I'm blocking your view (laughs)
What is it?
Are you ready?
Aww, you cut the lawn, thank you (Hannah laughs)
I'm gonna move, okay?
Okay
What? Oh my god, what? (laughs)
(Hannah laughs)
Oh my god, it's a fancy picnic?
(Hannah laughs) Yes, doesn't it look amazing? Oh my god
Yes, oh my god, I feel like I'm in a resort or something, what?
(music)
Shane, how do you like it?
I'm so happy, I love it
It's better than anything I imagined, honestly
It has literally all my favorite things
Yep
S: Frosty adult beverage H: Yep
S: Dips H: Yep
S: Soft bread H: Yep
S: Soft crackers H: Uh huh
S: Cookies, cheese H: Cheese
S: (happy sigh) H: (laughs)
S: I want to do this for dinner every night H: I know
S: Is that... that's my gift, every night H: (laughs) Not quite
No, I really love it, thank you, I'm so happy
Happy birthday big 30
You know, I think I---
Oh my god, there's geese coming with babies
S: Oh my god H: I'm so sorry to interrupt but...
S: Is this part of the surprise? H: I couldn't have planned this any better
S: Oh my god H: There's babies coming, oh my god
S: This is the most magical moment of my life
S: I'm going to propose to you again right now
H: (whispers) I want to feed one a cracker, I can't believe this
I've only had one sip of beer, I'm not imagining this, right?
S: (whispers) Hello H: Oh my god, I love you all
Anyway, I really want to hear about you turning 30, Shane, but it had to wait
I cannot believe this, they're going to the pond
S: Well, that was incredible H: Yep
S: We can wrap it up now, we're done H: (laughs) Holy crap
You were like, "Shane, there's babies"
(Hannah laughs) Anyway, the big 3-0
S: I cannot top what that just was, so... H: I know, I'm speechless
S: But I will try H: Oh, okay
As I approach my old age, I'm realizing more and more
That life is about decisions
H: Oh boy
We wake up every day, and we make choices
To thrive or flounder
H: Is it always a choice, though?
S: I choose thrive H: Okay
S: I would encourage you to choose thrive H: Wow
S: Like me, a 30 year old man
H: (laughs) The fact that you're 30 is why you're thriving? This is complete nonsense
No, but I've gathered so much wisdom in my 30 years
Well, let's eat
(music)
How does it feel to be married to a 30 year old?
It feels really weird, because when we met you were 23, I was 20
And the idea that now you're 30 is so so bizarre to me
So wait, I've known you for 7 years?
No, six and a bit, you were just 23 when we met
And then you turned 24 three months later
Oh yeah
So your 24th birthday was the first one that I was around for
Yes
But now that you have an old man
Do you feel... you know?
Do I feel what?
What does it make you think about?
I feel like you're fishing for a specific thing here and I'm not following
I'm not
What are you trying to get me to say?
I really want you just to praise me
Oh, that you're wise? That I'm so happy being with someone so much wiser than me?
Older, wiser, more experienced
H: No S: Worldly
No, I think we're pretty much on the same maturity level
And since we've done basically the same thing for the past four years
That we've barely left each others' sides
I would say we're equally wise
It's just I have a head start because I'm younger than you
How does it feel to be married to a younger woman?
It definitely is one of the main reasons that I like you
It's that 3 and a half year age gap? (Hannah laughs)
So when I was booking this picnic I told the woman who does it
That softer foods would be good for Shane, like dips and softer breads
Versus really hard crackers and stuff
And this, the breadstick, Shane has never been able to eat a breadstick before
But it kinda melts in your mouth
Yeah
Requesting soft food and getting all kinds of soft food, I love that
Alright, now you've eaten some of it
Oh, you have a leaf in your hair
It's okay
Here, I'll get it, lean over
H: You're not... S: I will, I will, back
Oh, it's really in there, hold on, wait
There's someone walking by
Wait, don't mind us
Oh, it's sticking, it has burrs
Did you get it?
Yeah
Aww, thank you, there it is, oh yeah, ugh
Anyway
Anyway, what's your favorite part of the food so far?
This dip, I don't even know what it is but this red garlicky dips is my favorite part
With the bread
Can you stop trying to look up my shorts?
But I haven't had cookies yet-- (laughs) Oh my god
Ey ey ey
H: So maybe the cookies, they look so good S: Yeah, the cookies look amazing
S: My favorite part is the bread H: Yep
S: It's like melt in your mouth, ugh H: Yeah, it's really really good
H: It's all so good S: I love it
I love nothing more than a good surprise
And a good surprise my wife has delivered
Thank you
No, thank you
It was an amazing birthday, thank you
