NEW YEAR, NEW INTRO! Big thanks to www.instagram.... for our new intro animation!
Intro jingle made by Caitlin Kalafus! Check out her Instagram page to see more of her awesome work: / caitlinkalafus
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 1,000,000 subscribers on UA-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.
Fyi, you have told the internet that you can get under your house and that there is mail in your box that may be unattended. I also suggest another camera mounted on the other side so your whole back yard is visible. This is a different world we live in and it's not very nice. Stay safe guys!
Many houses not on slabs have crawl spaces under them.
And if we missed that, you sure as 🔥⚡got that sorted!!🤷♀️🤷♂️🤦♀️🤦♂️
FYI !!
Indeed.. UA-camrs need to be more careful about giving out so much personal information. The world is full of creeps.
@@thefilipinojoe no street address!
I am so glad you have such helpful neighbours who decided to reach out when his cameras caught something.
Bravo for Charisma, ready to tackle the perp with her mace! She's a bold one. =) Glad you got proof from the neighbors that he Kool-Aided his way through their fence and went on with his life instead of homesteading under your house. May your settling-in process be much more copacetic from here. x
It's great you guys had the cameras up and the help of your neighbor. But I have to admit that the man breaking into your backyard really isn't that unusual for California. Things like that don't happen every day, but they do happen. And hats off to the LAPD for responding so quickly. It really helps when you know your police department takes these things seriiously. Glad to see you guys doing well. Lots of love.
Badass Charisma! lol I love her! Ha ha Time to get a lock on the gate! That happened to my son. He lives in FL. A young kid went through his gated backyard and destroyed his camera. Didn’t take anything but what a violation!! Glad all is ok with you guys and the house. Sounds like you have great neighbors!
You have some really great neighbors that are looking oout for you and each other, that is so key to having peace of mind, glad everything turned out OK!
The good thing is, you have great neighbours! And excellent police response!
For the record, if someone has entered your property uninvited and is carrying an unknown object, you have every right to call 911.
Shane to stop worrying about someone staying under your house you could install some electric fencing at the crawlspace entrance. Assuming very few or anyone in LA having ever experienced an electric fence before, any intruder who would happen to make contact with the electric fence would find it to be a rather shocking unpleasant experience they wouldn’t want to repeat again!😉
He’d probably get arrested for assault if the intruder got shocked knowing the way CA works.
Welcome to SoCal. As an east coast transplant there was such a learning curve. It's good you have people around you who can fill you in on what to look for and be aware of. As example, my situational awareness is pretty good, having grown up in Baltimore and having lived outside Philly before moving here, but it never occured to me that every car I passed could have someone living in it. Cali is such a dichotomy of extremes. You'll love it.
*LONG STORY SHORT --- DON’T MOVE TO A 💩hole that’s full of crime and complete idiots that are trying to change the country to a worse place than it already is.*
🤬
I grew up in Baltimore too. The county side. Still here but ready to move in the next year. Want to go west
@@jennamartin4098Be smart about the move. Go to a state with low taxes and allows you your God given rights. Moved from NY to TN. Best decision I've ever made.
@@JosefSpyro Thank you. I hear TN is beautiful. Right now, I’m looking into Wyoming. I don’t mind the harsh winters. Just have to get a vehicle that works best for the typical weather they face
We used to live near Santa Clara University in SC California and once had a student on our roof in the middle of the night! He was escaping a party that got out of hand and the police had been called. Crazy! (My husband thought it was a raccoon). We now live in MN. Don’t really miss living in the Bay Area. Stay safe ❤
I was waiting for you to tell a story like this because LA is notorious for home invasion, squatters and break ins. The huge homeless population is making this a daily happening. I was actually concerned when you said you were moving to LA.
Agreed. This is why I left. Constant issues with things like this.
Pack your shit and move back to Minnesota.
I’m impressed you had exchanged phone numbers with your neighbors before even moving . It took us like 6 months before we even met our neighbors after moving in 😆
Your are a *FOX* !!!!!! Have a great day.
👍🏻🫠👍🏻
Me too I don’t have our neighbors phones 3 years ! I live around Karen’s! I prefer that way. When we move I plan on doing things differently though. We have a very wealthy neighborhood. So that is part of the issue. lol
I was thinking the same thing!
😂 I’ve lived in my house for 7 years and don’t even know my neighbors names much less their phone numbers.
I applaud everyone’s presence from the neighbors, the police and yourselves - it sounds like it all three worked in unison and right action was taken all across the board.
Hi! I just wont to tell you I had discovered your channel 3 weeks ago and since then I watch ma be 25 or 30 of your videos. I have SMA type 2, I’m 41 from Québec, (the french Canadien province, that’s why my English is so bad hihi)… But I’m going thru some challenges right now that I wait very very too go through… It’s now at 41 that I decided to sell the house I bought with my parents. I think it’s time for them to rest and for me to start a life on my own… but here in Québec it’s not that simple to find a place to live where it have services to help people like us. I’m on a waiting list for an apartment, but in between I have to live in a home for old people (sorry I don’t no the English word)…That was a desapointing. But it’s a very long introduction to tell you that watching your video help me a lot processing all those things. I trying not thinking about the in between, I think if I’m positive at what my life could change for good when I will have a place of my own… I’d never try to meet a woman cause I was a shame of living with my parents, but now I think I could find the courage to try and more know when I watch you so happy together. I know it’s possible that it not work for me but at least I’m wheeling to try :). Thank you so much… I wish I saw you channel before… And I can’t tell you how much I’d like to communicate with you, but I’m know that you have already thousands of people that asked you the same things but I just wonted to thank you for what you did for me even if you didn’t knew it hihi… Thanks a lot (Merci beaucoup!) Jérôme
Blessings to you Jerome, I hope everything works out well for you 🌟
Hannah & Shane, I'm glad that you have a neighbor that is watching out for mysterious things that are going around your home... I'm glad that both of you and Chloe are safe and whoever is there with you! I live in Kalamazoo, MI and back in the 70's to early 90"s we had here what was called a Neighbor Hood Watch with our neighbors to watch for each others homes for anything that looked mysterious things that just don't look right! It restores my faith that there are still some people out there that still do that...such a good thing to happen and need more of in this world. I never thought that it would be in LA!:) I'm glad you guys have that in your neighbor hood! That just blows my mind how people act now a days!
Thats terrifying!! Glad you guys are okay ❤
I'm sorry that happened to you. I hope you can put it out of your mind and really enjoy your new home.
Shane's getting his chair modified for home defense.
It would be nice if he had a concealed gun that had location lock tech - if that has even been invented; I don’t muck with guns. It could definitely blend with the wheelchair.
@@JamaicanRain transformer mech suit
Battle bot style would be awesome!
Sorry about your yard intrusion& all that went with it!!!
Times are changing so please be careful and be aware of your surroundings….All Things are different as of the last 6 years. It’s up to us as individuals, to be proactive❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank God you two are ok and that you have such good neighbors.
"I awake" - 😂
He was casing both houses. I had someone come in my house when I was home, in the bathtub! I called 911 and 7 cops were in my house in a few minutes. Our garage opener door wasn't working, and that's how they got in. And that is a great color on Shane!
How terrifying for you
That's a scarry thing and not to be down played. I feel for you both.
Why do so many commenters act like there is crime only in California. Crime is everywhere. I’ve worked at a grocery store in small town Wisconsin when we were robbed at gun point. Also had our car stolen from our driveway by a heavily armed man in small town Wisconsin. Have had drug busts on our street in the suburbs of St Paul Minnesota.
Obviously, the crime is worse in larger cities. Just look at the statistics.
@@Kattaz0309 in raw numbers yes, but per capita not necessarily.
Your neighbor network will provide great protection in California. You cannot always rely on the police here as there are times when they are very busy.
So excited for your vlogmas videos! Glad you are safe and hope you guys have a great holiday season!
When you call PD from out of the area, it is better to call the 'non emergency' number direct...calling 911 can take a long time to transfer to the right agency.
Yikes! Good neighbors are the best security system!
well it sounds like you have awsome nieghbors or at least ones that pay attention to what is going on.
Now that gives me a new thing to pray for! Be safe! We love you two! We need you!
Sounds like a nightmare! You both stay safe
LA is a scary place. I love visiting California and I love leaving. Its not a place I would be comfortable living. Praying you both stay safe
I hope this incident will not keep you from loving Sunny SoCal. I'm just down the road in Sunny San Diego 😊, and I believe SoCal is the best place on the planet.
There are some rotten people everywhere. But it seems you have some good people looking out for you. Enjoy your home!
💙🐾💙
Ahhh, you guys were SUPER gracious about this situation. I'd be seriously freaked out. Some random creepy dude all in black wandering around the front of my property and then letting himself into my backyard that is fenced and gated and then moseying around as he pleases... not cool. Even if I wasn't living there yet, just the idea that maybe he was casing the place and might be back later (or had just decided to take up residence under the house! 😶) Urgh. Gives me the heebie jeebies. L.A sure gave you a warm welcome didn't it!.... Spiders and intruders! 🕷🥷 😵💫 LOL On another note... YAY FOR VLOGMAS!!! 😃🥰🤩🎄🎁☺🤗❤👏
Bright motion activated lights might be a useful deterrent.
Oh my god!! I am praying for your safety in the future.
Why is he blurred out in the video?
I have to say, you have an amazing neighbor!! I lived in California for 7 years, and my neighbors would have never done that for us. California people, at least where I lived, didn't associate with the neighbors and didn't care to talk or know anything about their neighbors, let alone look out for them. ALSO.... for the police to respond like that!?!?!?! Wow... our car was broken into and they told us they wouldn't come out to take a report, if we wanted to report it, we had to go to the police station, with our car to file a report. I am so happy that you are in a good location!
Get gate locks and put a sharp border next to your house to protect the crawl space.
You guys are fantastic, Shane is looking very handsome and very healthy, I think love is the key to being healthy! Go Shane!!
LOL why blur his face? The dude is on YOUR property....
Exactly. He gives up his privacy when he breaks the law by trespassing.
It's so baffling to me that "squatters" can take up residence like that. Like.... what?? It's not their property, there's been no "rental agreement" of any kind...
Wtf 😂
Oh no 😮 that is scary . I’m glad you found out that he did leave!! I would have been scared to sleep there myself 😂
Crazy story, glad it ended well
Yikes! Well done handling it. The object looks heavy and like it has a label. Two things came to mind: a weight for breaking a window and gasoline for starting a fire. So good you’re in touch with your neighbors!
Had that happen to me recently, the suspicious person turned out to be my neighbor's girlfriend's husband who tracked her there
Oh snaaaap! 🍿 anymore to this story?!
That would be very freaking weird if that happened to me. I would be calling the cops myself. It's like, who is this dude. L0L 😂😂😂😂
Neighbors should have alerted police 1st then text you. 🤦🏻♀️
wow your concrete is so stained! what did that around the pool?
The better question is why did Hanna blur his face
This is fake
In Canada it's illegal to show the face of criminals. CA is crazy too... Maybe there's a law
@@katehaven9374 nope. I live in California
Quite the opposite
Do you think the film industry blurs out all the faces of people in the background during a movie??
Do you think Hollywood would have the capability to cgi all extras into a movie
This is California no such law would exist
You’re in Canada 🇨🇦. Do you know we make movies here in Hollywood??
In my town non-emergency number is answered by 911 dispatchers. That’s probably why they sound so professional and on top of things. 😊
You know you have a good friend when they are willing to confront someone armed with Mace. I was doing training for a previous job and was maced and it HURTS!
You do need to lock your gates from the inside, esp when you are gone. Yikes, that's scary.
Just my own (probably biased) opinion, but I wouldn't live in LA even if someone paid for my house and all my expenses... It's great, however, that you connected with your neighbors prior to moving in and they are watching out for you and your property! Definitely comforting to know you have people on your side!
The potential squatting problem sounds horrible, however! Hope this one incident is the only issue you run into while living therel Looking forward to more Vlog-mas videos!
Where I live the non-emergency line and the 911 emergency line all goes to dispatch. The 911 lines are just prioritized if they were ringing at the same time.
It doesn’t only happen in Ca. It happened to my daughter in a SE Minneapolis (south of the river) suburb that I’m sure you are familiar with. She was renting her house and the person told her she signed the contract and sent the money but hadn’t. My daughter was at work and couldn’t check to verify but believed her. I let her move in not knowing she had only sent a small amount of the money and had not signed the counteract. She left to go somewhere and we found out the full amount wasn’t deposited in her acct. My daughter called the person and she said she planned to work off the rent - never even discussed in the rental agreement.. I personally moved the things she had move in out of the rooms and into the hallway and when she came back told her she could not move in and needed to move her things out of the hallway. I then called the police to make sure she didn’t try to stay. She had come back with a man who she planned to move in as well but hadn’t told us.
It dawned on me - her name and the story she had told about her mother that she was a ‘nomad.’ I won’t write what they’re called just in case it’s not allowed. But you can’t be too careful these days.
If they had spent just one night they could have stayed under squatter’s rights.
Oh, one more thing, my daughter sent the small amount of money back to her but that money hadn’t hit my daughter’s bank yet so the wanna be squatter kept my daughter’s money as well as the money she sent my daughter.
That would be very unsettling! Thank God your neighbor caught that on her camera.
I hope you guys put locks on the gates. He is not the type to jump a phone. He looked like he had problems walking even. ❤❤❤scary to to see and go through!
Welcome to California. Shocked you would actually move there. I left in 1998. The weather is nice and nice beaches but the crime is out of control. Good luck.
If this was in the UK, the police would show up 4 days later!
Wow. That was creepy. I clean houses for a living. I don’t think about intruders. I have had front doors and garage doors open, and I walk into my clients homes, call them while I have walked around, to make sure nothing bad has happened. They always tell me to get out of the house and call the police. Thankfully nothing has ever been bad.
Here in Ohio, especially in Columbus and our City in Chillicothe, break-ins, home invasions, armed robberies, murder are notoriously prevalent. Im sure LA is worse though. Watch out for gang related activity too there. LA has plenty of street gangs. Glad you did not get hurt by the intruder!
Just FYI, having a baby is like waking up at 5 every day until they are 4 or so :) in between middle of the night wake ups, and/or early wake ups, you will get very little sleep those first years!
My bf wakes up at 2:55am to get ready for work at McDonald's 😅
Him looking at your windows as he walked through your yard makes me think he was casing your house for break in. Likely cased your neighbor’s house as well. Former St. Louis resident and very suspicious of anyone trespassing when they know a house is empty.
Hey St Louis native here! I used to live behind a house that was abandoned and it got set on fire multiple times. Very scary knowing the fire could have spread to my yard.
I’m glad everything was ok. Might I suggest that you change your back yard camera to a 360 so it would follow the person next time. Wyze has very no install cameras.
I’m sorry you had that experience. Florida would have been a much better choice. Best of luck in the future.
They tried Florida, though, and did not like it as much.
Can’t wait to get back home to California!
Here in the south we have bears, so many deer, Turkey, coyotes, etc. Oh… and a beagle 🐶that thinks he is the ultimate hunter! 😂😂
And we have fantastic neighbors to boot!
All wildlife caught on camera as well!
Rutting season is fun. The boy deer chasing the girls… hilarious.
I still miss California though ☺️
Well, that's comforting that the neighborhood is safe then!
Oh my. I hope you’re all right. Beware of trespassers
Camera in the attic is suggested
Aww love the art work💕
I don't understand why anybody would want to move to LA...Why did you guys, looking for stardom Hannah?Shane...So was the new rug a replacement for the snack oil accident rug...will there be a new couch???
Am Confused 🤔
lol this is a strange but interesting start to Vlogmas. I suggest grinch hats or at least a Charlie Brown tree 😂
That's creepy!!! Thankfully you have vigilant neighbors who promptly alerted you to the situation...
Maybe install another camera near or in the crawlspace entrance to alleviate further fears...
I guess now you know you can't skinny dip in your pool if your neighbors camera has that line of sight!!!😂😂😂 Be safe!!!
Check the area to protect Chloe
I won't get into it but at one time I worked for a vet. Sorry you had to call the police...scarey times..wow
I hope you’ve put a lock on that side gate!! Stay safe guys.
I’m guessing this happens ALL THE TIME in LA (or California). 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe put a lock on that yard gate?? I’m sorry if this offends anyone, but why would anyone want to move there?
Many reasons. The weather, the politics, the access to various beautiful places within a few hours, diversity, gorgeous topography (esp in orange county), variety of things to do (parks, the arts, etc.) I lived there for 6 years and eventually was convinced to move back to where I grew up...Kansas. Night and day. Yes there's more crime there, but when I lived in Orange County and LA for a time, I always felt safe. In fact, a county just north of here has either the top, or 2nd highest homicide rate per capita in the country. So 🤷🏻♀️. It isn't for everyone, and I get a look of disgust here when I say I just want to go back, but I really miss it.
Welcome to LA ❤
Glad it got sortedxx
I'm a little confused. Why didn't the neighbor call the police? To me, if something is "amiss", I wouldn't waste my time taking guesses, or rationalizing the "Whatifs", I would call the police.Then and there.
Calm down Karen
@@moving8496 because it's none of your business and you don't know what's going on. That's how over reactive police shoot innocent people.
@@moving8496because maybe it was someone who was supposed to be there and they didn’t want to call the police on a handyman or something.
@@moving8496aren’t all people at your neighbors house strangers? I certainly don’t recognize all the people who are at our neighbors house.
@@moving8496 or it could've been someone from an online marketplace coming to buy farts in a jar. You don't know..
So you live where Cole and Charisma lives, cool!
Man, that's EFFING crazy.
I’ve heard about that squatters law. That needs to be changed.
❤glad all turned out well.
So scary! You have good neighbors there.
Scary, I would have pooped my pants if I was there.
My theory since he trespassed for no reason… he is in cahoots with fence repair companies, they hire him to destroy fences so homeowners call to get it repaired
Hello I had a intruder at my friends house as well it was at night his mom is so furious Its a long story like its crazy
LAPD showed up in 15 minutes?? I called 911 about an accident outside my apartment-a pickup crashed into parked cars; took them two hours. I worked in ABQ 2 years ago and called 911 3x-still waiting for them to send police.
My car was broken into (window broken) in the garage at work in February. I know how you feel. It sucks!
Luv u guys!!!! Shane is my funny bone!!!!!🎉😂
So many reasons not to live there. I know you like the weather and have made connections there but of all the placed you could choose???
The weather alone is like 5,000 reasons to move there. It rocks.
@@JamaicanRain
The weather “rocks” in so many states in the US. lol.
And you don’t have earthquakes, wildfires, smog,
Flooding, crime,Homeless, etc.
“So many” states do not have lovely warm winters, which is what Shane desperately needs due to no normal muscles! He needs a place to put down roots and have bodily peace of mind. You get used to smog and earthquakes just take a bit to get used to but are not as frequent as movies and TV make it.
@@JamaicanRain
Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Texas,
Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina,
Georgia, to name a few.
But then those don’t have the social connections they are looking for along with the weather and Shane also somewhat suffers in weather hotter than California. They might become state surfers like a handful of people I know, lol who knows what will happen within 10 years. But it’s what is best for them right now/what fits their overall lifestyle choices and Shane’s situation.
My family in California chose it because it has the balance, ample opportunity and atmosphere no other state can provide.
Completely off topic but has Shane's voice been getting stronger?! I feel like it's clearer, deeper, and like it's easier for him to speak. He sounds good! 😊
Looove the festive intro scene ✨️ ❤
YEEESSSSSSS VLOGMAS IS BAACCCKKKK!!!
Welcome to the state of California- now you know why so many have left. 😢
I just love you guys
Your not in Minnesota any more.
I love watching your UA-cam channel
