Shane Burcaw (he/him) is the author of several award-winning books about disability. He is the President of a nonprofit organization called Laughing At My Nightmare, and a renowned public speaker who has performed across the country at places such as Harvard University, The University of Florida, The University of Connecticut, Princeton University, and many more.
Hannah Burcaw (she/her) graduated from Carleton College, where she studied Sociology and Anthropology. She films and edits the “Squirmy and Grubs” vlog, which has over 800,000 subscribers on TH-cam. Hannah has spoken at prestigious universities and Fortune 500 companies alike about the realities of ableism. On her popular Instagram account, she advocates for acceptance of all people and works to improve the way society thinks about disability.
Shane and Hannah have been together for over four years. They got married in September of 2020 in the midst of a global pandemic in their backyard, with their officiant conducting the ceremony via Zoom. Their interabled relationship often confuses people, because much of society still cannot fathom people with disabilities being involved in loving, intimate relationships. Anyone who watches these episodes will quickly see their relationship is just as “normal” as any other. Sure, Hannah helps Shane use the bathroom and brush his teeth, but those activities do not detract from the emotional, intellectual, and physical connection they experience together.
I cannot believe you got rejected from TEDx, Shane! I also volunteer for TEDx and I am doing the speaker acquisition for 3 years now and ever since I am dreaming of having you two at our TEDx event but it is in Germany/Cologne unfortunately. If you ever come to Germany I would be absolutely thrilled to have you at our TEDx event. I think you should definitely give a TED(x) Talk one day!
There loss
Their loss
Get him to Cologne and I'd SO attend!
I live in the Cologne area and am a professional interpreter (simultaneous and consecutive) and would be happy to assist you with German 😊
I do not understand no Ted Talk!!! So wrong!
I had a completely crap filled day. I laid down and prepared myself to cry and maybe eat a gallon of ice cream when my arm hit the remote and this video began to play. I laughed out loud so much and and now I am feeling hopeful again. Basically I just needed you both to know how fabulously awesome you both are. Also who the hell needs Ellen when we have the two of you to keep us in stitches
Hope you have a better day tomorrow! Keep your head up!
That's beautifully awesome and awesomely beautiful! Big hugs to you!!
Kim mcvicker i know the feeling. Im here if u need to chat i get so lonely. I watch thease to and laugh myself silly. They ars so sweet
It’s one thing to be rejected for something you initiate but to have TedX and a publisher both initiate contact and ask for you to do something for them and then reject you… that’s just wrong! It’s their loss!!!
I love you hannah and shane. Id love to write a childrens book with you
This job Hannah wonts what is it. She a pretty young woman. And a beautiful voice.
I was rejected from Ball State University in their program to become a teacher of hearing impaired kids. Instead, I went to Northern Illinois University and changed my major to teaching visually impaired kids. I moved to Florida, got a job right away, AND married a visually impaired man. If I'd gone to Ball State we NEVER would have met. Rejection isn't necessarily a bad thing!
Hi 👋 Patti, can I talk to you for a moment?
I got rejected from working at McDonald's when I was 16. They had asked me if I handed a little child an ice cream cone and she dropped it and cried would i make her another. I said yes and they didnt like that. Lol apparently rich companies cant afford an extra cone😂
That’s crazy! 😂 You gave the best answer!!!
I would think they would have wanted you to give her smother Ice Cream cone. What ever happened to customer satisfaction.
Oh my word 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@elizabethschreffler9182 I know! They literally made it sound like if I handed it to her and she turned around and dropped it. Like not she left the establishment and came back. Heartless lol
You wouldn’t want to work there anyway!!
Ha.. I was a Dancing Tree in our Wizard of Oz Play. During the Play Toto the Dog lifted his leg on me and the whole audience laughed.
Hi 👋 Beverly, can I talk to you for a moment?
Rejection in regards to employment seems to be the story of my life. So I’m beginning my one TH-cam channel on my own experiences as a person with a disability.
What’s the channel?!
Hi 👋 Sarah, can I talk to you for a moment?
I know it can be easier said than done, but keep on keepin on. I know I’m just a stranger on the internet but I’m pullling for you & wishing you nothing but the best!!
Me too. And relationships.
Just saw you guys on Ordinary Joe!! I told my husband, “Hey! I know them!!” What fun!! Love you! 💜
Hi 👋 Linda, can I talk to you for a moment?
You two bring me great joy. I lost my dog 4 years ago, my wife of 53 years 2 years ago, and my best friend of 50 years, last year. Can’t be sad, as I’ve had great fortune, A beautiful wife , a son, daughter, and a beautiful Granddaughter, the love of my life. So why am I telling two people I’ve met on Facebook this? Because about a year ago I started watching TH-cam much more than television, real people living real lives. And I came upon yours. I look forward to every episodes and reminds me of my late wife Becky, and I and how happy we were and the great .fun we had bantering with each other. Thank you both for the hard work I know it takes to produce a glimpse of your lives and love to share with us. There is no doubt you will be wonderful parents, so get the ball rolling!😊🍷
So sorry for your losses! Sounds like you are staying positive which is great!
Great perspective on it all. Thanks for sharing!
@Scottsdale Gregg, I never read comments but for some reason read yours. Just wanted to tell you I'm so sorry for your losses, so happy for your outlook & experiences. Been blessed with great fortune (no loss) until 2yrs ago. 4 dogs passed in 1 year, 6 family members, resulting in being a mommy to 8. Birthed 1 24yrs ago, 7 more due to circumstances. Just celebrated 28yrs anniversary. If we keep your attitude & perspective we too will see 53yrs. Thank you! Needed to here your comment. Love from Arizona ❤
Thank you for sharing!!! Too often we focus on our accomplishments but sharing areas where we were unsuccessful helps to make it normal. It also helps you feel proud of what you did to move on/ lessons learned. Just like success, rejection makes us who we are today.
THE NEW INTRO IS SO CUTEEEE LOL. ps: this video kind of came at a perfect time for me; i've been feeling like I need to expand my horizons but I have an extreme fear of rejection... is this the universe sending me a sign ?!
Growth never happens in a place of comfort. Most infuriatingly true tidbit I've learned. Listen to that gut feeling. Be brave. And utilize whatever support system you have as you go through it ❤the more we know, the better we can be. And there's a helluva lot of work that goes in to getting from point A to point B
Have to convince yourself of this truth: rejection does not make you UNworthy. Just offers opportunity for further movement and growth in a new direction or way! That’s all. 🤷🏼♀️
Rejection makes us stronger 💪.
No, it doesn't. It is demoralising and painful.
My rejection…I wanted to be a cheerleader for our community peewee football team. We were young. The peewee team was supported by the local Catholic Church. The cheerleaders were “No cuts”. If you wanted to cheer, you could. We still went through tryouts to see who would be in the front, the back…Well, at the end of the day, they said they changed the criteria for cheerleaders from no cuts to you have to make it. Every single girl who was there that day made it, except me. I was the only one who did not make it. The. Only. One.
That is just wrong!!
😔
That's messed up.
Hi, What did u learn from that? Would u be bothered today if picked last for something?
That is just CRUEL!
Safe travels. Can't wait to see you both again in your new place. Will you be showcasing/critique the AB&Bs you'll be staying in?
Hi 👋 Deborah, can I talk to you for a moment?
Wow I so appreciate you guys bringing this topic up. Not enough people openly discuss that rejection is part of the path to success. I’ve been rejected multiple times in music school auditions but still managed to climb up to a master’s degree in piano performance and now I have my own successful teaching studio business. At the time I took those rejections incredibly hard but now I recognize it as part of my growth.
It’s hard not to take rejection personally sorry to hear , I would of loved to hear your Tedtalk
You guys are amazing! Thank you for being honest about all the hard times in between of the good ones, it makes you guys so real and relatable. I've been following your channel since 2017 and shown it to so many people. They totally understand why this is my monthly serotonin. Love you guys!
I’ll watch this in a minute…first I want to let you know I finally watched Ordinary Joe. You two were great, even though you weren’t on long. Your message was loud and clear. I’m properly your oldest fan. I’m 77 from New Jersey and I love you two. Blessings!
It hurts to be rejected, especially after you told family band friends. They will tease you every chance they get. You are trying to forget but someone bring it up again. You laugh but you are tired of hearing it. Good advice Shane…don’t say anything until the contract is signed. Do you have a fan club or does that happen any more?
Seriously seeing you two on the front cover when I opened Google this morning was neat! Y'all are making a huge impact on so many. So proud of you two
My high school play was just like that; we all had to say words and sing; I got the non speaking part of the blind man in Guys and Dolls and I still laugh when I think about it.
I wonder what the future will look like now that TH-camr is a career…I hope things are going well with the Accessibility Advocacy. A truly worthy venture.
Great video - very interesting stories about your failures. So glad you persevered and have found success in life!! 🙏
I just turned 76 and I have had countless rejections which make the opposite so much sweeter. You both are such a sweet couple, I enjoy your videos!!
The absolute worst rejections are when you aim low thinking you are practically guaranteed to get something 😄
Agreed. I pursued a boy in high school who I thought I could get as my boyfriend as I was out of his league and none of the other girls liked him. He was short and very funny and I really liked him. He rejected me repeatedly! LOL
@@juanaatkins777 I had the same thing happen in high school. The guy was sweet and funny and didn’t give me the time of day, then a friend took notice that I was bummed and told me he wasn’t into girls. Not only rejected but also my first encounter with a lgbtq person.
Be proud of your accomplishments! You both have done more in your lives then most people dream to do in a lifetime! It’s wonderful to have seen how far you two have come and everything you continue to accomplish in your lives 🥰 Congratulations on all of your accomplishments and on everything you will continue to do! 😀
Really?
@@judyivie4181 yes really!😡
@@judyivie4181 dude, take your negative attitude to the trash where it belongs. What an absolute creep leaving all these weird comments on all their videos. Seek help...
Love your honesty & love all your videos thank you for sharing your success & rejection story❤
Love who you guys are. Thank you for your videos
Your Ordinary Joe cameo was awesome!! So happy for you guys! I was so excited! Hope to see more big time acting from you in the future 🖤🤍
Rejection is a part of life. Makes us stronger. The fact that you can laugh about some of yours is awesome.
More people should talk about their rejections in life. We all have them and i know I’ve missed some opportunities because of the fear. Great video idea. I’m thanks guys ❤️
Both these guys are magical in the way they tell their stories!
I love you guys truly, such a great representation of good people. I wish him the best
Aww, your audition story was so cute, so sorry. My daughter tried out in front of the Oscar Myer weiner mobile singing the I Wish I Was an Oscar Myer...etc. for a commercial. She did not get picked, but skip forward 10+ years and she wins America's Next Top Model! Never give up!
I watched her season and she was wonderful and so incredibly beautiful!🥰 Congrats to her! 😀
That is amazing!
Wow!
@@mamamiak1750 oh, thank you. That was a fun time.
Love the new intro!!
I love how Shane looks at her during her stories. I love the laughs❤️
For anyone looking to see them on Ordinary Joe they appeared at 28:50. Great job to you both that was awesome!
Hey guys. Just caught an article on your tv performance on tv insider. Pretty cool. Be proud of how far you’ve come. Eager to follow your journey. You’ve come a long ways just in the 4 or 5 yrs I’ve been watching you guys.
I love watching Shane's facial expressions while Hannah talks. You guys are adorable.
Just a little off topic, saw your previous post and that you go to CA for a while, I’m in southern CA and it’s 72 degrees, you guys are going to love it 🌞
I love the new intro graphics! Happy New Year to you all.
You were fantastic on Ordinary Joe. And your new intro is terrific! What a fantastic duo!!!
I saw y'all on tv. Awesome job. God bless y'all! 💖
Hi 👋 Linda, can I talk to you for a moment?
The facility for your "summer club" sounds like it would be a "community center" in most places. The summer club activities would be the "summer recreation program" put on by the local Parks Department.
True that
sounds like a neighborhood pool to me
We called it "Summer Camp" but it was really a day camp.
It sounds like summer day camps. Like a community Centre has events but day camp is only geared towards children’s summer entertainment.
Yup!
Can't appreciate winning if you don't ever lose.
Hi 👋 Terrie, can I talk to you for a moment?
We belonged to a summer club when I was a kid, but we just called it "the pool". It had all the things Hannah described, though.
Yep, same here..
You both make me laugh, and smile! I love the way you both interact with each other! What a great 💑 couple! You both have fun with each other, and you make a great team! 👍 It's so cool that you both met and fell in love! Love the videos! Big hugs to you both!
I love you guys! You bring so much joy to my day during and after having watched your videos!
I dont even skip the ads because I like your videos so much and even ads are fun to watch! :)
Next topic , my most wonderful acceptances ♥️, you are both so dear
I loved both of your acting debuts on Ordinary Joe.
Keep up the amazing work...love you both so much.
Where do I start?? Job interviews, being ghosted by guys, training interviews, sports teams, you name it. But things worked out and I'm still happy with a job and a great husband 🤷♀️
You two are the best. Just the best. What a great message, like Ellen's Dory would say, "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming!" Rejections help us grow. Also, there are tickets available for the ellen show in mid-March so maybe if you could get those tix and go back to LA and be in the audience, she'd notice you right away!!
8th grade, New school in Baltimore, old school in Georgia, originally from Texas. Needless to say Baltimore had hostile issues with my accent. I auditioned for a role in the Christmas play, A Christmas Carol. I was 13, & already 5'9". Being a tall, thin, girl, who "talked funny", I was given the role of the Ghost of Christmas Future. No lines, an extra long hooded robe that covered me completely. Even my face, so no one could tell I was a girl. I climbed a ladder to a platform, stood there, silent & covered, & pointed a droopy finger at nothing. The southern girl inme wanted to wag that droopy finger in admonition Someone off stage read my lines. With what sounded to me like an accent. Southern girl wanted to tap dance back to the ladder to get down. That was the first & last time I tried out for anything. Much to the frustration of the girls basketball coach!
Rejection is an instrumental part of our personal growth and development. The key is to be resilient. Easier said than done, I know. I loved hearing these stories from both of you. I also love that you two have become so inspiring because of your rejections.
MUCH easier said than done. You get to a point where you stop asking.
@@ChrisPage68 That's true, and it also really depends on the situation.
I think we have all experienced that and you both can at least say you are were you are now! You both are wonderful!
Love your "Opening Cartoon" with Hannah as "The Reluctant Cohort!" Poor Chloe gets to be "His Trusty Steed!"
At first I was like, why is Shane riding a sheep? 🤪
@@Yooperskepticz I thought the same thing! Lol
i honestly loved this episode. you 2 are such a great couple.
You guys did amazing last night on Ordinary Joe. My husband got mad cause he was half asleep and I got all excited and scared him awake. He said "B they can't see or hear you cheering for them."
Aww, thank you for sharing! 🤍🤍🤍
It's great to see where both of you have ended up in spite of these rejections. I guess it's proof that if something doesn't work out, it's because something bigger was in the works!
Loved you in Ordinary Joe! Awesome topic!
Hi 👋 Jane, can I talk to you for a moment?
I watched your tv debut last night,How cool was that!🥰🥰
I just saw y'all on Ordinary Joe! How cool!
Hi 👋 Lisa, can I talk to you for a moment?
Cool how you really listen to each other! You don't talk over each other. Pleasure to listen to 😊
Hi 👋 Bonnie, can I talk to you for a moment?
Love the new entrants
Thank you for making takling about hard stuff normal! All around us people are so obsessed with only portraying succes. We all have to walk a bumpy road of ups and downs. 😊👍 From a mental health perspective we should talk more about all aspects of life so people dont feel so alone when things are rough. 😊
Y'all are seriously some awesome people!! Great to see y'all doing so well at a young age!! Y'all got it going on!! ✌😎
OMGosh Hanna. In 8th grade I tried out for Dorothy and sang somewhere over the Rainbow as well AND I didn’t get it either. 🤣
I love y'all's new intro card so much
I tried out for Cinderella in 6th grade for the lead and was cast as dirty laundry 😂
Your failures or attempts make you stronger and who you are today. I think you guys are great!
Hi 👋 Anna, can I talk to you for a moment?
Omg you guys, I don’t even think of my rejections. Oh by the way ordinary joe is so amazing my mom and I enjoyed it so much. Congratulations love you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love Shane's wisdom about about rejection. You guys rock.
Ohmygoddd I love the new intro cartoon, such cute art!🥰💜
Just found you guys. I love your story telling. Rejection stinks and humor helps.
if you feel tremors, it's not an eathquake, it's my brainpan hitting the ground.a friends old bf from college has a daughter who was just paralyzed (T5 complete?) in a log truck accident & they "voluntold" me to do a wheelie in a wheel chair
Sweetest memories for me , I 1st watched my dad do wheelies& years later my husband , I’d sit the youngest child on his lap & well it was just fun ,
Go show out !
I just love you two you both have made so much impression on a lot of people for the good everyone looks up to you both on how beautiful you both are we love you Shane n Hannah keep up the videos n the good work guys we all love you ❤
I got rejected from the first service dog organization I applied to and thank goodness I did because I would have Dario by my side everyday
Wouldn't ?
HA! By the title alone I'm like Impossible! 🤣 One look at Hannah and that word becomes nonexistent in people's minds.
Biggest rejection: A legislative proposal to make states’ compliance with Federal requirements governing the issuance of disabled parking permits a condition of eligibility for Federal funding. Accessible parking space ratios are based upon those requirements, yet states are doing their own thing with respect to issuing permits, which creates too many permit-holders for too few accessible parking spaces. Was told to basically stay in my lane…
I think we all get rejected from something in life. You guys are great.
I also saw you guys on Ordinary Joe. Far from just being in the background. 😃
This is such a refreshing, and honestly inspirational, topic. Thank you!
Hi 👋 Christine, can I talk to you for a moment?
Thank you for making yourselves SO Vulnerable. THAT TOOK REAL GUTS!!! BRAVO!! This may go down as one of your ALL-TIME BEST VIDEOS!! After this one, anyone that says you guys aren't authentic is a JACKASS!!-- James W. Fee, Jr.
Nothing as fancy as a summer club for us. Just a community pool and tennis courts. Saw your TV appearance on Ordinary Joe. Just like a speaking engagement. Very good. I felt like I was attending an appearance by both of you.
Hi 👋 Tracy, can I talk to you for a moment?
Successful people reject rejection-John C. Maxwell
Hannah, I relate to your Dorthy rejection. I tried out for the role of Grettle in our 6th grade play of Hansel and Grettle. I got to be a cookie. I held up a card board gingerbread man cookie that just stood there in front of the witches house. No lines, no movement, nothing. 😆
Refresh our memory on how you guys first met. I vaguely remember it and it would be a nice video idea too. Your perspectives might be different too! 😁
You should do a Ted talk about rejection. lol.
Hi 👋 Erinn, can I talk to you for a moment?
This channel is HILARIOUSLY entertaining. Where did these people come from?! 🤣
Heaven
@@honkhonk5181 shut up!
Love the new intro! It was too cute.
OMG, that opening animation!!! HAHAHA
I LOVE the new intro. It makes me smile before even getting into the video ❤
I would love for her to move on
Hi 👋 Patricia, can I talk to you for a moment?
Not really comparable but... Peter Horning, if you're out there... 7th grade school dance I asked you if you wanted to dance with me, and you gave me a flat out "no." You've won the award for most prominent rejection memory. 👏🏆
You missed out 😘
Ps I love knowing some publisher out there has to live with the regret of passing on the opportunity to sign Shane as an author.
not cool, Peter. not cool
Hi 👋 Bethany, can I talk to you for a moment?
I can't even tell you about my Top 3 rejections. They are so depressing I don't want to be responsible for people's possible reactions. I did enjoy the video.
Yoooooo that Ellen story was really something. Thanks for sharing!
Loved your cameo last night and I hope you have many more.
It'd be nice at the end take 30 seconds to have a fact about SMA kinda like the more you know blip. Blessings! Sherry
All ways love you guys-never ending keep up all you do-no rejection here
“Cause I can’t dance.” They like dancing lol
Saw your acting debut last night on Ordinary Joe. Y’all were fantastic. Love you both.
Just watch all their videos and you will see that they are acting all the time....
do you believe that they are a real couple married or do you believe that that they are a fake couple....like many many others do...including me
