The One Thing Shane Would Change About His Disability

[@Lillith8810]

Fun Fact: I live in a town in Washington that was founded by a man who played a very important role in preserving the Oregon trail. His name was Ezra Meeker. In the late 1800s (and maybe early 1900s too) he would take a wagon and oxen and go along the original trail and made markers along the trail. He did this quite a few times I think and helped to bring attention to it and raise money to preserve the trail. Our area is known for its hops (the plant used in beer) because of him. *Edited for correction - he began preserving the Oregon Trail in 1906, when he was in his 70s*

[@amychristiansen5830]

Great video, as always! Hannah's Junkyard Dive theme, surprising things that happened simultaneously, reminded me that when Barbara Walters passed away, I read that she, Anne Frank, and MLK Junior were all born the same year.

[@katiefair6959]

I ADORE Hannahs dumpster dives. It’s my favorite part of the podcast

[@bethporter470]

I just love history and it just blows my mine what Hannah comes up with I truly enjoy it. I have a rare cancer and my treatments just over the year's has destroyed my mouth I can't eat solid food's it's just painful so I would be in line first to eat at your restaurant. Guy's keep doing what your doing so many people that includes me just love you guys. Much love guys.

[@glennkelley6096]

There is an early video of Shane reading for kids in a library and Hanna had to do part of the reading because his jaw was so tired . Compare Shane in that video to now to understand how much progress he has made.

[@crocodilehunter3856]

Shane Burkaw is Hannah Alywards puppet to greed dark money and fame .

[@alexandraspring687]

And the My Last Days video from about 10 years ago ... to now where they've shown in my country that 11/14 toddlers in a newborn screening study could walk alone or with assistance because of treatment, compared to just 1/16 in the group treated later, and another state here (Western Australia) started newborn screening this week :) I'm not sure if any other My Last Days episodes have such a good epilogue

[@MyVanHaven]

Hannah's Dumpster Dives are my favorite, cos I, too, am wild for miscellaneous facts and hope you don't mind me regularly sharing more random info lol. You mention the "time of Jesus" in reference to BC (Before Christ) vs AD (After Death), but most professional research papers for the past decade or so have already switched over to CE (Common Era) to replace AD, and BCE (Before Common Era) to replace BC. So when you see something that uses the old versions, you know it's probably not very scientific or legitimate if they didn't know what's actually in use nowadays. Also, the people recreating the wooly mammoth are doing so not just cos they can, but to reintroduce the animal to the tundras where their herds marching across would regularly compress permafrost and prevent the growth of new plants that would break it up. Without them, permafrost has been melting at an increasing rate and releasing more carbon into the atmosphere from the defrosting rotting plant material, adding to the climate crisis. And since humans hunting them and spreading diseases to them is one of the theories of how they went extinct, it's just another way to repair at least some of the damage our species has done to the planet. I'd like to add my own random fact: Did you know, the latching door handle (the kind with a side bolt that enters the doorframe), similar to all doorknobs we have today, was invented in 1878, meaning Abraham Lincoln never used anything but a regular door handle with no latching mechanism to keep doors shut. Most people kept all their valuables in locked chests and drawers instead of locking their doors cos it was too cumbersome to constantly bolt a padlock onto doors. I think about this everytime I watch historical dramas set before the 1880s.

[@suzandobreuenaski8134]

Van, you should do a podcast too! I enjoyed reading your post.

[@MyVanHaven]

@@suzandobreuenaski8134 thanks! I'm certainly full of enough random facts, maybe I will in the future lol, I appreciate the suggestion!

[@terryenby2304]

This podcast is swiftly becoming one of my top favourites!! I have a Monday grubag question (and I know it’s not Monday or the right video!) but it’s related to Shane’s dream: Assuming it was safe, would Shane like to travel to space ? I am wondering if zero gravity would enable him to be able to move more easily?? Or if the air resistance from the air inside the ship would be just as hard to move against?? Please keep up the fantastic work both of you!

[@susanlong8978]

Me too!!!

[@adamphilip1623]

I'm no expert but I doubt it'd make much difference to Shane's mobility from what I understand about his condition. His arms and legs in particular I remember them saying largely lost mobility due to his muscles and soft tissue tightening so they physically cannot straighten etc, that part isn't a strength issue per say.

[@terryenby2304]

@@adamphilip1623 you are probably correct. I still wonder if he would like to go to space for fun/excitement reasons anyways though?

[@crocodilehunter3856]

Hannah Alyward and Shane Burkaw don't even show hope for folks that actually really struggle in Shane Burkaws of disease and disability.

[@crocodilehunter3856]

How in the fuck ! Would Shane Burkaw travel into Space . Lol!!!!!

[@thestarlightforge6568]

Hey, guys!! In one of my graduate classes, we are talking about marriage rights and national belonging. I would really like to show my teacher the video y’all made where you talked about how marriage rights are restricted for Disabled people because we can lose disability benefits, but I can’t recall which video that was. Would one of y’all mind linking me? Thank you so much, if so! Shane, Hannah - y’all have given me so much light over the years as a young Disabled woman with loads of internalized ableism. Thank you for existing proudly and sharing your story with us ❤

I just have to say, Shane, I get what you're saying about regularity and traveling. I did not click off after hearing it. But traveling always gets me backed up. So I understand when you said that was a moment of joy.

[@fyrefli4109]

[@lindalong1758]

I really enjoyed your new junkyard mayhem platform reviewing two simultaneous events in history. Look forward to more.

[@martinagraham3792]

One of my husband's ancestors wrote an account of their wagon train travels on the Oregon Trail. Called "The Gregson Memoirs" - it's quite harrowing, particularly by today's standards. I'm with Hannah on this one - give me my comforts. @Shane, your sense of humor is beyond description. You remind me a bit of Terry Pratchett, one of my favorite authors. He also falls in the laugh-out-loud category. Please keep bringing it on!

[@geeathefirst]

[@yarrowbumblefoot8877]

Very interesting chat. Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland, he emigrated to Canada in 1870 with his parents. Bell married American Mabel Hubbard in 1877 and became a naturalized American citizen in 1882.

[@patevans3709]

There are many elderly people who would enjoy a restaurant that specialized in soft and liquid foods, Shane, in addition to those with SMA. Also, individuals who have had a stroke or Bell's Palsy; they do not do well with liquids, but all kinds of soft or mechanical soft. I would have guessed that having more use of your hands would have been your choice to change your disability. Thank you for your open and honest sharing, Shane and Hannah!

[@vickiebrannon5217]

I accidentally came across one of your shorts, then another. I enjoyed this video, Shane's sense of humor, and Hannah's fun facts in history. Best wishes from Middle Tennessee!

[@kvstar100]

[@ruthlarson6334]

Alexander Graham bell was born in Scotland. He was educated in Scotland and England, moved from there a young adult to Ontario Canada. He developed his communication inventions in Canada and in Boston where he was invited to work in developing communication technology for the deaf. Not an American, though it seems Americans have claimed him as their own

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

27:47 Yes and No. Alexander Graham Bell is probably one of the hardest people to tack on Citizenship because he was born in Scotland and then later moved to both the USA and Nova Scotia Canada during his lifetime. When he invented the Telephone he was in Nova Scotia. I think it was something like he had residences in both Nova Scotia and the States (Masscheutts if I recall)

[@lizp.9513]

He was Scottish first, so we will take credit for both the fax and the phone 😂

I really enjoyed Hannah's facts! I, too, was surprised that wooly mammoths existed while the pyramids were being built! I look forward to learning more in future episodes. :) Shane's desire to be able to eat makes complete sense, if you think about it. Humans are hard-wired to enjoy food. It's a primal instinct. Food not only nourishes our bodies, but it also brings us pleasure with the release of dopamine and other hormones.

[@suzannehawkins383]

love your videos! but a little correction. alexander graham bell was born and raised in Scotland. he moved with his family to Ontario Canada when he was 23. he moved to Boston to teach a couple of years later, splitting his time every year between his two homes. he also split his sound experimentation, with a lab in each country. he was a really interesting guy, you should do a deep dive on him! haha others may find it boring but it's fascinating to me.

That salad Shane's way just sounds like a version of Gazpacho or Salsa soup. I make those all the time in the summer and alter them with different veggies, herbs and other things to make them reflect different cuisines. Nothing like a cool soup in the hot weather.

I would definitely come visit your SMA friendly restaurant, even all the way from Belgium! 😄 So that's at least 4 customers already 😉Great idea, because I'm also a big food lover suffering the same weakness due to SMA. Here I try finding restaurants which wanna blend my food themselves by the way, most do that for you if you ask it in advance. At least in my experience here in Belgium. Maybe it's an experience that can help you/others too. And the Kenwood CH580 is a chopper to be advised for use at home, it's usable for small portions unlike many others.
