[birds chirping]
[7]
I'm Scott, the collector.
[11]
[music playing]
[15]
You name it, I probably got it.
[17]
I had a bad habit--
[18]
I call it my hobby--
[20]
going to storage auctions.
[22]
They had a lot of items,
like, they had 10 of them,
[24]
and the auctioneer
says, how many you want?
[27]
I said I'll take them all.
[28]
[music playing]
[34]
Next thing you
know, I'm buying out
[36]
hardware stores,
craft stores, clothing
[40]
stores, cigarette stores.
[43]
You name it, I bought
a ton of stuff.
[46]
I bought 42,000 lighters.
[49]
I bought the stuff, then I would
buy buildings to put stuff in.
[52]
[music playing]
[67]
I'm Corey.
[68]
And Scott is my father.
[71]
He's fueling his
addiction to hoard stuff
[75]
by borrowing from family
members, from friends.
[79]
I owe my sister money.
[81]
I owe my brother money.
[82]
I owe my mother money.
[83]
I owe my employees money.
[84]
I owe, I owe, I owe.
[86]
Because I've collected so
much, I'm losing everything.
[88]
We lost a lot of money.
[90]
I mean, a lot.
[90]
[music playing]
[98]
I'm Carrie.
[99]
And Scott as my dad.
[101]
Him accumulated all these
properties, all this stuff
[104]
and not having the income
coming in, because he won't sell
[106]
is definitely why we are
in the financial position
[109]
that we are today.
[111]
I've been to one or
two auctions with him.
[113]
He would start
bidding on stuff and I
[115]
would have to be like, Dad, no.
[116]
Why are you bidding on this?
[118]
Don't buy that.
[119]
And then we'd get in fights.
[121]
COREY: All it is to
my dad is a good deal.
[123]
Doesn't matter what it is.
[126]
If you get something
really cheap, it's exciting.
[128]
[music playing]
[136]
First heart attack, he
had seven stents put in.
[139]
And then he had a
second heart attack
[141]
and they had to rush him
into triple bypass surgery.
[145]
Because he's my dad,
you know, I love him.
[148]
I don't want him to die.
[150]
But you think, oh, my god.
[152]
If he does pass away, what do
you do with all this stuff?
[155]
I mean, we've been so angry
as a family towards him.
[160]
We don't get how he doesn't
see what he's doing.
[167]
[music playing]
[172]
My name is Matt Paxton.
[173]
I'm an extreme
cleaning specialist.
[174]
Financially, you're
in a lot of trouble.
[177]
This is a hard one.
[179]
This is of the biggest crisis
situations I've ever seen.
[182]
He and his family could lose
everything because he's not
[185]
ready to take responsibility.
[186]
We can only take so much
out of this problem.
[189]
We're going to do
the best we can,
[191]
and we're going to get your
skill set up so that the family
[193]
can do this together.
[194]
You guys ready to do this?
- I'm ready.
[196]
- Yes.
- All right.
[197]
Let's go.
[198]
[music playing, beeping]
[201]
What do you got in here?
[202]
MATT PAXTON: A couple of more
than probably 10,000 lighters.
[204]
SCOTT: Ah.
[205]
Look at all the good stuff.
[206]
I'm not throwing paper
plates away, folks.
[208]
Your house to be
full in one minute.
[210]
[music playing]
[213]
Let's take [inaudible] of you.
Let's go--
[214]
Why are you
trying to keep that?
[216]
Everything's going to be
your personal collection.
[217]
Right here.
[218]
I hate to throw something away.
[220]
How is this going to make your
life better, a ceramic clown?
[223]
What would you do with it?
[224]
MATT PAXTON: Throw
it in the trash.
[225]
CARRIE: Well, it's--
[226]
MATT PAXTON: It's very
easy to throw that away.
[227]
My name is Dr. Robin Zasio.
[229]
I'm a licensed
clinical psychologist
[230]
and I specialize in
compulsive hoarding and OCD.
[233]
Scott's compulsive hoarding
is very, very serious.
[237]
It's embedded in him.
[238]
We're going to have a
big problem here today.
[239]
These have expiration dates.
[241]
If you can't throw away perfume
that is not usable and expired,
[247]
we are in trouble.
[248]
He doesn't want to
let go of this stuff.
[250]
I don't know how all
this is going to pan out.
[252]
I'm throwing this away.
[253]
ROBIN ZASIO: OK, Scott?
[254]
Listen to me.
[255]
Plug it in first
to see if it works.
[257]
You don't throw 80 bucks away.
[258]
We have 65 of them.
[260]
Plug it in first.
[261]
You know, if we're going
to plug in every single piece
[263]
of electronic equipment--
[265]
SCOTT: Corey!
[267]
It doesn't work.
[268]
Unbelievable.
[269]
Are you sure the power was on?
[270]
[music playing]
[274]
COREY: There's no
reason we need these.
[275]
Just cardboard.
[276]
Those are good for our filing.
[278]
Put the other one down here,
right hand in the garage,
[280]
or you're fired.
[281]
I guess I'm fired.
[282]
[music playing]
[293]
This is the deal.
[294]
You guys are going to
have to work together.
[296]
The two of you can
make this happen.
[298]
For damn sure.
[300]
This is how you reclaim
your life and your space.
[302]
Thank you.
[303]
[music playing]
[311]
Got to be recycled.
[312]
It's heavy.
[313]
It's got metal.
[314]
Put it on my pile over there.
[315]
It is from 1927.
[316]
That's a trumpet.
[317]
Resell it.
[318]
Why can't we recycle it?
[319]
No.
[320]
Dad, what is in
all of this stuff?
[322]
MATT PAXTON: But are
all of those going?
[323]
All of those are going, right?
The cameras?
[325]
I think they should.
[326]
These are all cameras.
[327]
Here's what I don't understand.
[328]
Why did you buy
all these cameras?
[331]
What was your idea here?
[332]
Because I wanted to
protect my property.
[334]
COREY: He's so concerned
about his stuff.
[336]
Dad, if you didn't
own this stuff,
[337]
it wouldn't be a problem.
[338]
You wouldn't have to worry
about if people are stealing it.
[340]
If you just didn't have
it, then you wouldn't
[342]
have to worry about it.
[343]
And that would eliminate
the entire problem.
[346]
Corey is the secret
to this solution.
[349]
He is the only one that actually
has the sense in this family
[353]
to make a good decision.
[354]
Who are you going
to sell this to?
[356]
A knob cover?
[358]
Are you serious?
[359]
Scott is blaming Corey
for all of his problems.
[362]
Of course, Corey's
done nothing but try
[364]
to solve these problems.
[365]
I'm not going to get
nothing done with him around.
[367]
[music playing]
[369]
MATT PAXTON: Well, you
all are going to have
[371]
to learn to work together.
So he's staying.
[372]
I put it back there and
he's working against me.
[375]
It's a very typical
hoarder thing.
[377]
He needs to be in control.
[378]
Scott needs to be the man.
[380]
If Corey does it, Scott
feels like a failure.
[382]
Just give it to resell.
[383]
See what they do.
[384]
You can't resell this.
[385]
It's got a tag.
Come on.
[386]
It doesn't matter.
[387]
That whole thing is $1.
[389]
it's got to be donated.
[390]
[interposing voices]
[390]
Get out of here.
[391]
[music playing]
[402]
We've got auction guys here.
[403]
We're going to go start
pulling stuff out right now.
[405]
And they're going to be
brutally honest on what
[407]
can and can't sell.
[409]
This is our best chance to
make as much money as possible
[412]
for Scott, to make
a dent in his debt.
[414]
MAN: This is a good time of
year to sell these, Scott.
[416]
You got hunting season
coming right now.
[419]
Sell them.
[420]
Sell them?
[420]
Sell them.
[421]
Sell it.
[423]
There's got to be a lot
of valuable items in there.
[425]
SCOTT: I'm doing
pretty good, aren't I?
[426]
ROBIN ZASIO: You're
doing awesome, Scott.
[428]
I thought he was
going to resist us.
[429]
I thought that he was going
to hold on to more stuff.
[432]
But he's taking the stuff
that is of value, putting it
[435]
on the truck to be auctioned.
[437]
Tools?
[437]
We can sell those, yes.
[439]
Fill the whole lot of brand
new clocks and everything.
[440]
His old tape stereos.
[441]
Can you sell them?
[442]
Or are they--
[443]
MAN: Nobody's buying
those anymore.
[444]
SCOTT: So outdated.
[445]
That's brand new in the box.
[446]
But it's a VCR.
[447]
[music playing]
[450]
MAN: As we started digging and
digging, further and further,
[453]
we realized there
wasn't much of any value
[454]
there that people would
really want to buy.
[456]
Scott, let's have this
conversation real quick.
[458]
Come here.
[459]
So they're just eyeing this.
[460]
Yeah.
[461]
This is not their cup of tea.
[462]
It was not
anybody's cup of tea.
[464]
How much percentage-wise,
guys, do you
[465]
think you could actually sell?
[466]
At the most, 5% of it.
[468]
I mean, there's a
few items in there.
[470]
But most of it is not sellable.
[473]
MATT PAXTON: I mean,
this is the barn
[474]
we thought the money was in.
[476]
There some good stuff here.
[477]
They can sell that table.
[479]
I don't know.
[480]
Can you sell the table?
[481]
It's a $5, $10
table, by the time
[483]
you move it and try to sell it.
[486]
Hey.
[487]
Yeah, this can be donated.
[488]
[music playing]
[495]
He's got 500 properties.
[496]
He has millions of dollars
in taxes he's got to pay.
[498]
We need him to take it a step
further and fix his finances.
[501]
I'm just going to
lay it on the table.
[503]
This is the only way
to solve this problem.
[504]
You have to give Corey
power of attorney.
[508]
The only way we can
get him out of trouble
[511]
is to give his son
power of attorney.
[513]
I agree, Father.
[515]
On all your properties, and
you have to give him access
[516]
to the money that you can't
get, because you know you'll
[518]
spend it.
[519]
You've even told me that.
[521]
The best way to do this
is to get Corey in charge,
[523]
so he can sell things as
a lot and do big sales
[526]
and get the money to get
the taxes off the books.
[528]
You've got a chance if
you get back to even.
[530]
If you keep going at the
same pace, this is over.
[533]
You will lose.
[534]
And you'll get jail time.
[535]
CARRIE: Do you get that, Dad?
[536]
Or not?
[538]
You have to accept some
losses on the properties
[539]
and just take what we can get.
[540]
He has deals,
people ready to give
[542]
you cash for those properties.
CARRIE: Yep.
[544]
And you won't let them.
[545]
MATT PAXTON: And you won't
let them take the cash.
[547]
The three of you, you
and your two children,
[548]
need to make that
decision right now.
[550]
[music playing]
[561]
COREY: Do you feel
comfortable with signing
[563]
this power of attorney?
[565]
There is no pressure
whatsoever to sign it.
[567]
[music playing]
[572]
Signing that power of
attorney, it really
[574]
puts a lot of pressure on me.
[577]
But he's 60 and had two heart
attacks and open heart surgery.
[581]
I'm 32.
[582]
I can handle the pressure.
[583]
I'm ready for the challenge.
[584]
I gave power of
attorney to Corey,
[585]
because he may be get
something going a lot faster,
[588]
instead of my procrastination
coming back at him.
[593]
ROBIN ZASIO: We knew we were not
going to clear 500 properties.
[596]
We came to get the process
started and we did.
[601]
At the end of the day, the
fact that he could acknowledge
[604]
that he needed to give
up control to his son,
[606]
I think was amazing.
[608]
All right.
[610]
Good work.
[611]
Get to work, will you?
[612]
I didn't think you
were going to do it.
[613]
That is the thing.
[614]
And I'm proud of you.
[615]
I'm so proud of you, Dad.
