I know longer see the need to be subscribed to A&E since Live PD was cancelled. I'm not anti black lives or anti whatever. I just like the show, and see it cancelled because of "woke" culture is just sad and pathetic. All the best to you.
Now you want me to watch "Dennis the Menace" version of "Hoarders"?
His wife looks like zombie.
Over ambitions cause these kind of problems
a weak man lives with his issues, a strong man admits he has them
I strongly agree.
👍 yes
You know, until around 5 years ago, an issue was a thing, an item to talk about on a list.
Not a synonym for PROBLEM. his PROBLEMS.
True. This is heart wrenching
And an enlightened person lets it go 😌
Proud of this man for admitting his needs.

Totally agree! I love how he loves his wife. The stuff lost its value.✌
@@VeganDefinition nobody asked
You realise these people have mental disorders right? They cant all just admit to what is going for you to be proud of them.
The 1st and only person that i have ever seen on this show that let them take it all without a word. He loves his wife enough to know he had to do it for her.
You need to watch the ENTIRE episode!
Lmfao I need to watch the episode after reading the responses lol
Would this then be called atypical hoarding?
@@jenniferzamora4748 He did have a moment in one of the clean up days where he stormed off and couldn’t deal with anything. But near the end he came back around and he gave away around 85% of what he started with.
If you watch the full episode you'll see him go OFF on Matt and go awol on the cleaning process
I almost bursted into tears when I saw the condition of his wife. He's depressed, I totally understand why he's hoarding. He needs more than just "cleaning his house" help.
But it must've helped a lot. It's not possible to move on when you live like that. I'm glad they helped him
You're right. He's hoarding for a reason and he needs help coping with life or he will keep doing what he always did.
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
What happened to her?
@@7honeydewsacc244 I’m not sure what’s happened to her, but I took care of people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia and that likely looks to be the case with this gentleman’s wife.
You could feel his pain when he admitted it wasn’t safe. You could tell how hard that was for him.
Sorry. I will be busy kicking myself in the face.
@@julieandrews1193 ROFL
Brand Malone, I can’t imagine his line has ever worked.
mike varga wtf 😂😂
Now you just sound crazy
He really loves his wife and you can tell. Much respect for him
That's a real men!!! And a incredible human being
Uhhhh.... Hoarders can't let go of anything. His wife is clearly not a person anymore. It's almost as if he needs to let her go, as cruel as that sounds
@@sa-amirel-hayeed699
I hope your loved ones remember your comment, when your time comes.
So sad to see her and him in this condition. I'm glad their home was cleaned before the end of their time ❤
what happened to her? i didn't watch the full episode
"For all that I've lost look at what I gained" probably the best mentality and most beautiful outcome I've seen yet from this show and wish them the best.
So true. I saw an episode where the woman (hoarder) was so angry at the cleanup, she stood in a beautifully clean room with all of her family next to her and said that she had lost everything she loved. My heart sank for that family...she valued things before them.
That man loves his wife dearly. Such a beautiful thought that he wasnt selfish about the hoard.
It's even sadder that he's a retired architect, because he probably logically knows better than anyone that his home isn't a livable environment, but he's probably hella depressed.
Likely his wife’s condition was a large contributing factor. Seems like he was overwhelmed.
:( yeah
Hella
How is being a architect give you that knowledge
@@BeDangerousSomeMore Because architecture is all about function and order. His house was neither functional nor orderly.
This man is clearly in over his head. He needs weekly or even daily help to cook, clean house, and caregive his wife. I hope someone is checking up on the two of them consistently, very often. I hope he doesn't re-hoard the house.
I’m pretty sure somebody will help him those two girls look like they are his daughter or otherwise his sister i’m pretty sure they will help him for sure
@@livetrackingvideonetwork7381 Yes me too! I hope their families rally round not just the 'two girls'.
I’m pretty proud of him helping the lady walk through the hallways and stuff like that I wish people that have low vision or completely blind have the same but I don’t that’s what I wish for that would be better if people helping each other even they don’t know each other that well this world would be way much better
Cleaning the house is only the beginning. This man / couple needs counselling, to determine what unmet emotional needs led to this.
The issue is never the stuff, it's always the people.
There's services out there, but you can not force someone to take it
I don’t think I’ve ever really liked any of the 'hoarders', but this guy seems really lovely.
Watch glen and his rats. Poor guy, I cried watching the episode. Then I read the comments and it turns out he got murdered after the show.
@@ripneighborhoodniprip8303 im sorry what??
@@hazelmykitten1067 how was his comment not clear
@@hazelmykitten1067 bruh... I just saw. Man that is so sad to see that and he had totally changed his life for the better as well
You should watch that episode with Doug and Ruth, too. They were such sweet people who suffered terrible tragedies and that's where their hoarding started.
8:30 Dennis includes his wife in the thankfulness of hand shaking by lifting her arm because he knew she couldn't. He has so much love in his heart and compassion for her. What a great feel good story. I love this
Finally someone who acknowledges his problem and let's the helpers do their job. I'm so happy for the wife! It was incredible to see what an unsafe place she used to live in.
He finally decided it was time to part with all that stuff .
He did have a moment where he went on a rant about “privacy” and how his wife wasn’t complaining about her living conditions therefore he claimed it was “safe”. And went off on Matt because of tools.
Ngl compared to a lot of other houses they showed on here he is pretty clean. As in his sink and things are don't have mold and bugs and stuff growing and crawling around his place.
I watched the whole episode... the kids were pretty upset when they pulled several dead rats out of the wall in the master bedroom. the bed was disgusting. the show bought them a new one.
@@acacialane8367 still not bad compared to other hoarders. I've cleaned out hoarder houses and I'd say finding dead vermin and a junked bed is common and a relatively small issue.
Yeah it wasn’t as dirty as it was cluttered
Acacia Lane : Did he complain or resist anything being removed/trashed?
Lauren Rose Yes. Like most hoarders he did get upset. Things tossed that he didn’t want tossed, stormed away at one point. I think on a update he was still going to therapy to fight the urge to keep.
Ya'll I straight up thought his wife was a mannequin or a life size prop and I almost freaked out thinking it was part of his collection until I saw her trying to walk & and my heart immediately broke, I'm glad he got the help he needed 🙏🏾
I thought the same!!! But when I realized she was a person I was so distraught for her and became instantly emotional. I hope she really was glad the house changed and will be safer and more manageable for them both!!!
I know right! That is so sad. He needs a caretaker for her. I’m sure there is someone who checks in though. That’s how my gramma looked and acted before she passed. After a stroke. She was always skin and bones too. It was like she was half in this world and half in heaven at the same time. Non verbal like that lady or mumbling. Bless my grandpa for taking her out and caring for her too. Rip gramma karmen
This sweet man didn't seem to have a disorder. Rather, it seems he just got overwhelmed with life and needed an enormous amount of help to dig himself out of it enough to have hope and relief again. What a great episode.
Sometimes its is it depression or is it hoarding? Sometimes its both .
He was a hoarder due to just the amount of posessions and "projects" he had on the property but even he admitted that its too much for one person to tackle which is why he asked for help so clearly hes not in denial
He was indeed a hoarder. It’s just that his love for his wife and family was stronger than his hoarding disorder compared to all the other cases. It’s really rewarding to see. I watched this episode and at the end they usually tell you what happened after and almost all of them end up negative but this one made me smile
I wish they gave them time to fully finish the clean and repairs
Tony Compton I agree. They always have only 3 or 4 days. Why can’t it be a week?
True that. I got the idea that it WOULD all get done on time.
Well if it dosen’t work out as we have seen before your kinda stuck if you go for a week and they quit on you. Your next job won’t be there for 5 more days! Penny smart, dollar stupid.
I only assume that the abbreviated time allows and demands for quick decision making. This guy did amazing!
It used to be only a couple days, and with all the manpower they usually can handle 4. But this guy's hoard was monstrous.
I’m tired after just cleaning my room imagine how these people feel
i would imagine they feel a sense of relief. i hate cleaning my apartment when its a shithole but i always feel less stressed when im finally done.
Suggest minimalism, then never tired again.
I am a messy person as well and when I clean my room I spend a day when I do a deep clean if I do a quick job it takes a few hours!! I watch this show to help motivate me to clean my room
they get big pay so they are motivated
@@golightly5121 💯💯
So beautiful - He was so willing to change his life. He loves his wife dearly.
I have had depression for years and I am constantly fighting against it. It's thanks to the people brave enough to ask for help, and share their stories with us that keep me going.
I have had depression since I was very young. It’s a daily battle, but I keep on fighting. Talking to ppl about it helps immensely. I’m always surprised that when I share my experiences just how many others share their struggles, too. You can see the relief in their faces. We all need to work to be open with each other. When you feel like you’re the only one suffering, hearing you’re not alone is freeing. God bless this man, their family, the cleaners, organizers, junk removers, therapists, and doctors. You’re good people! Thank you all for what you do to help others! 🫶🏻💓
Hope you are doing well my friend ❤️
This was absolutely the best one I have seen. Have me cryin like a baby.
Why? Are you ok now? Shall we make love?
mike varga 😂🤣😂🤣 oh my.
#1 you see, we have a real connection, a chemistry. Before you were crying, now you are joyous. Come forth and allow me to storm the citadels of your woman hood.
@@mikevarga2058 lmaoooooooo well played.
Joseph Murray 😂😂
Holy cow. His wife didn't even look like a human being. Honestly thought she was a silicon doll. God bless him for taking care of her and honoring those vows
I thought he had a doll, too. Wonder what has made her so ill?
@@muchtested If I had to make an educated guess she's recovering from a stroke
Lots of people in the nursing home like this.
@@muchtested Parkinsons
Maybe Progressive Supranuclear Palsy? I've had a family member diagnosed with that. Same thing Dudley Moore had. And Linda Ronstadt now. I think it's in the Parkinson's family.
This is the most self-aware hoarder I've ever seen.He seems like a sweet man,I hope him and his wife are doing better.
At least this man didn't have "gross clutter"...no bags of poo or rotting food. He had a lot of stuff.
Even though he had an incredible amount of stuff, he was kinda of organized about it. You had some idea what was there and there were paths where you could actually see the floor. I have seen much more disorganized/dirty on this show.
@@peggypeggy4137 oh definitely. He made walkways
Oh my god, what a man. What a hard thing to do! So proud of him and everything he’s done.
Too bad they couldn't finish it but what they did do was nothing short of amazing.
First time I’ve genuinely been moved in this series. Seeing him throw himself into it for the love of his wife was a really touching moment. What a guy.
Why end it on a certain deadline ?
Finish the job.
rawdog42 It is really frustrating when they don’t finish. I imagine they have a tight schedule for filming though. At least they do provide the aftercare services and got this guy some brand new furniture- I’ve never seen that before.
@@nora__ - they do that alot.
They're allotted only a certain amount of time because it's very expensive to have all those junk haulers and their trucks there, plus all the cleaners. They show a lot of "volunteers," but there are many paid people who are doing the actual work so that it gets done in a timely manner, and within budget. Matt Paxton, Dr. Thompson, Dorothy Breninger---they aren't working the show for free.
Because it's a TV show and they need to add some kind of artificial drama
Imagine if they had a lot of pre psychological care and then slowly ease into the process and then the after care to rlly avoid relapse
That would take a long time + a lot of money and would be "boring" to viewers so the show wouldn't last
I imagine the friends and family that help take a set amount of time off of work and not a day more so the crew only stays four days for each hoard. (not counting the first day when they do the tour and introductions).
MAAAAAT'S BAAACK!!! I am so excited!! I thought he retired. The show would not be the same without him. Thank you for coming back, Matt!
I love matt🥰😍
I agree. I think I have a crush!!!
@@judeflowers2813 he got divorced 😉
@@ARTSIEBECCA lmao stooppp...my daughter likes matt too 😂😂
This is an old episode, from the 2010-11 season.
Seeing that syringe inside of the juice cup is really humbling and sad to think how some people have to operate life in order to live.
As tragic as his wife's condition is, knowing that this guy is sticking with his wife and truly being there for her is extremely heartwarming. He's a great man
He is a sweet gentleman with a loving heart for his wife. I’m so glad nice people came to help him. Wish all the happiness for this man :)
This makes me sad. The man seems like a really decent man who lost his way.
I watch one (ok, maybe two) Hoarders episodes and right away I am bombarded with Hoarders in my suggestions. But it inspires me to clean my house, so that's a good thing.
He seems so genuine and pure. I’m impressed with how honest he was and ready to change. I hope the best for him and his wife
When I saw his wife, my heart dropped.
Sometimes this show has a subject that from start to finish you just keep saying..."Bless his heart".
It was a decent house under that ton of trash! And the people were nice😍
Im so happy for these people. So good for him to reach out for help for him and his wife
As soon as they revealed the result I just started crying. The relief must have been immense.
No one:
Hoarder show director: Alright, you cleaners exit your car at the same time. It looks rad. 😂 2:35
it did look rad😂
I imagined director saying 5, 4, 3, 2 action!
i was looking for a comment about it
Yes, that was a great shot!
Rad is right,but I had to laugh as I watched them do that lol
I’m glad there are companies like this who are willing to help people. I hope the man is receiving some kind of counseling in addition to having a bunch of people clean up after what he accumulated over the years. The man seemed ready for a change so let’s hope it stays this way.
First off let me say I am Matt’s number 1 fan!!! 😁 His compassionate no nonsense approach with the clients is admirable and one of my favorite parts of the show!! Secondly, I have said before and I will say it again, this show is more than just a television show, this team of people actually change peoples lives for the better and this episode is an excellent example of that!!
Cheers
I've come to conclusion we love this man and is proud of him for his devotion to his wife.
It's nice to see a hoarder choosing his family over his stuff. God Bless!!
AMEN
Maybe she was the hoarder?
@@satsumamoon pray for the Hoarders to Donate their stuff to the poor
"thanks for letting us do this" aww matt is so sweet
Yeah this is big business for him 😉
@@MrThresher7 still, he's changing ppl lives for the better.
@@dragonfly5665q Noble.
Oh, my heart! You can tell this was painful, but he was motivated by his wife. I wish them the best. 💖
"Clutter" is the understatement of the year.
Hoarders has really upped their game by providing new furnishings too. It’s extremely heartwarming!
1:39 At first I thought that was a statue of Zasio. That poor wife! Can barely move and having to live in that obscene hoard. I am glad he got it cleaned up.
Yeah i wonder how she felt before her disease progressed.... but at least it is safe now.
Omg im so sorry to laugh but u said a statue of Zasio n that just cracked me up! However, Zasio statue thing aside, I feel for her and admire her husband for loving her through it.
Honestly I thought that was Zasio as well until he turned her around lol
Stephen Border I’m glad it’s not just me
Zasio....EEWW, what an insult to the man's wife!
No one is perfect
These people are amazing
Dennis knew he had to do this for his lovely wife's final days. To take good care of her. What a sweet man who's heart is pure.
What an amazing love story. As much as he loved his stuff he loves his wife more! Awesome!!
So proud of this man! This is so sweet
For some reason, this short clip really moved me. That the owner recognized and admitted he needed help and that they pulled off such a wonderful task in such a short time. What a blessing!
This is absolutely one of my favorite episodes! I truly hope that Dennis is keeping up with the house!! And wish the family NOTHING BUT THE ABSOLUTE BEST❤️
You know what amazes me! Is the love that man must have for his wife to care for her like that. Now that's Love!
That a very smart man and I’m proud of him for noticing he needed to do better and haveing the courage to do so thing about it in no way was he clinging on to stuff and had regret . Super happy for this guy..💕
The sad news is he started hoarding again. The good news is it will take him years to get it back to the way it was. I truly feel sorry for his wife.
Seriously? How sad that is.
What????😱
@Isabel Beckerman - at the end of the day, hoarders love their garbage more than ANYTHING ELSE. And anyone who really thinks he let go of all his junk without a murmur, really needs to watch the entire episode!
My dad has hoarding tendencies, but has always had a wife to manage it. One time my mom was throwing something out and he said, "It's like you want to throw ME away." That's how much his identity and his junk we're intertwined. His mother was a full hoarder.
so his kids continue to ignore the wellbeing of their mother
I feel like he truly intended to do all those projects. When you have a mind that works like his, you're constantly thinking about things to build, fix, upgrade, etc. So glad they have a beautiful new home now!
The non-judgemental compassionate approach is heartwarming
It was so good to finally see a clean up where everyone was positive. I have watched clean ups before where the cleaners were very disrespectful towards the home owners. Well done guys. A great clean up and done with respect and dignity. What a great effort.
What a transformation.... I love a happy ending! I understand they have more to do, but knowing this husband can care for his wife in a safe environment must have been such a relief for the family. Good job to all involved!
Bless this man , his wife, his children n TEAM who helped them
I have been a fan of Hoarders for a few years now and have never seen a successful episode such as this. Thank you for that, was a long time coming!
The son and the therapist (?) look like brothers.
I would keep that glass table away from her, for safety
There are a lot of very positive comments here about how Dennis has magnanimously addressed his hoarding for the sake of his sick wife. This video has been produced to appear as though this is the case, but if you pay attention to the video you can see this is entirely false. He was forced to clear out his hoard because his home was non-compliant and he was receiving fines from the city for his hoard (they mention this three times in the video - at 4:58 - non-compliance, 8:16 - fines and 8:22 - "the county is going to work with them"). He had no choice but to do it or lose his home. That's why there was a deadline on the clean-out - the city would not have given him unlimited time to sort out his house, so they had to work to a timetable. Its also why they attacked the outside of the home simultaneously with the inside. If the idea was to make the house safe for Judith, the interior would have been the priority and the junk outside could have been left till later. They were forced to clean up the outside because the city required it.
Though they don't show it in this mini-episode, in the full episode they explain that the reason why they threw out the furniture and got them a new bed and couch is because the existing furniture was too disgusting to keep. Also, they didn't show Dennis' objections to the removal of his junk during the process of clean-up.
Poor Judith was living in cluttered squalor. I have no doubt that Dennis loves his wife, but its inexcusable that he subjected her to such unhealthy, dangerous conditions when she was already so frail and unwell.
Though his wife is suffering from advanced Parkinson's, you can see that Dennis' illness far, far predates her own (it takes decades to accumulate >500 tons of junk). The fact that Dennis subjected his vulnerable, disabled wife to these unsafe and unhygienic conditions is very sad. Without considerable psychiatric help, Dennis will begin to rapidly reaccumulate his hoard.
Thanks for providing context for those of us unable to watch the whole show - very canny editing indeed. So true about the re-accumulation, as well; he basically admits as much at the end when he says he won't let it get as bad as it _was_ - it's like: 'no Dennis, it's not supposed to get bad _at all_ now that they've cleared it ! ' .
you wonder why the 3 kids did not intervene 10 years ago and let their mom live like this, three people plus dad could have made the house livable in a years worth of weekends, but the kids probably didn't want to be inconvenienced with cleanup work
@@markman63 Yeah, try cleaning up a hoarder relative's house against their will.
I completely agree. Almost like people want to see through rose colored glasses because he's crying and old. Not to sound dismissive but facts is fact. He neglected this wife and should have done what was best for her and him years ago!
@@Etianen7 they should have called protective services then. Take their mother from that squalor and let their dad love and die in the filth.
My heart goes out to Dennis. I’ve been a caregiver and it’s a big job. It was imperative that I kept an organized space in a time when I didn’t have control over much else. I can’t even imagine how he was able to provide care in this environment. I hope he seeks therapy to deal with the real problem and his current situation. God bless this organization for helping him. I loved when they came together in prayer before taking on this daunting task. Great job everyone!
that's really a beautiful home, now that you can see it. very pretty
The way he takes care of his wife makes me want to cry 😭. How sweet.
It’s incredible to think about how ONE MAN amassed over 1 mil pounds of stuff! He’s a genuine dude and out of all the Hoarders episodes, I think he’s the most deserving!! Hope the best for him & his wife ❤️
When ever I watch these episodes, I either start cleaning the kitchen hysterically or feel quite alright with my modest hoarding.
It never leaves me untouched.
All of these people have grave emotional issues, I hope they get help with those too.
I'm so glad the house got cleaned and I'm glad He went through with it without any problems. I'm sure his wife feels lost, it may take her a while to feel secure again. ❤❤
There were LOTS of problems. Watch the entire episode.
This guy has a lot of insight! Unusual and promising.
So awesome to see him so willing and ready for change! His wife and her safety are more important to him than whatever in him got them in that situation. Kudos to him and everyone who worked on this cleanup! I know everyone worked hard to get this done!
Judith’s eyes lit up when she saw the living room.
Was that the Son?..he reminded me of the Hoarding specialist from other episodes, then i saw at the end He was there shaking hands...very similar
agreed. I watched the whole episode and I thought that every time I saw the son.
Yes! I was thinking he was Dr. Michael Tompkins haha
By far the best before and after I’ve seen! So happy for them!
So grateful the show actually existed to help him. It would have been impossible to do on his own. This is why we need community!
The house has a lot of charm, and interesting design details - Dennis said he was an architect. It is wonderful that they will be able to enjoy it now. A lovely family.
Too bad Dr. Zasio wasn't there to help. She's my favorite. I love her quirky little ways and she brings so much great advice also.

God bless this man taking care of his wife I’m sure it’s been so hard for him plus manage a house and dreams of hobbies. I’m glad to see Hoarder is finally hooking people up with furniture
This is the only guy on this show I actually liked and demonstrated his awareness and passion for his family. Im glad he is able to give his wife a fresh start.
What a beautiful man , who loves his wife sooo much and a fantastic , compassionate team that cleaned up 🤗
There was 1 thing that was missing from this show. After the guy got so upset about his tools that got thrown out, Matt instructed everyone to put aside any more tools that they came across in the hoard, so that he would be able to hopefully give the guy a big pile of tools. Was that ever done? Were you able to recover more tools for him? I was waiting for that scene, and it never happened.
Oh I'm glad they saved his tools thanks for mentioning that. I got anxiety from the idea that people would throw away what were clearly pretty nice tools and equipment he had
These shows are insane they throw away so much that can be sold reused repurposed and like tools everyone needs a toolbox of stuff handy just incase.
I can’t even imagine the toll that takes on a person mentally when their environment is so out of control.. Personally, I get anxiety when my space isn’t clean.
His beautiful wife needs, and deserves to live in absolute comfort.
I’m happy that he cares for his wife so much, he knew there was an issue and took initiative to make her safer and happier.
As much as we can sneer and point the finger and blame the hoarder...these people had knowledge, they had skills, they were educated and capable...but this still happened. Sometimes trauma is fast and violent, sometimes trauma takes decades.
I'm sure every single one of them thought "this will never happen to me."
Like Matt Paxton said, "we're all only 4 or 5 bad decisions away from pooping in a bucket."
Brought tears to my eyes! I love what these people do for others. ❤❤❤
Just started watching this and I wanted to cry for him and his wife.
Hoarders never think of themselves as Hoarders, they call themselves collectors, so glad this man put the health of his wife above everything else.
It must cost a fortune to acquire so many items! I wouldn't be surprised if hoarders also have financial issues. Poor people, so wonderful when they reach out for assistance.
as soon as he walked her out I 😭
I have so much crazy respect for this family. A lot of mistakes were made to get to this point, but wow did they come through and really try to fix things in the most effective and mature way. I've never seen so much strong emotion felt in one of these episodes communicated and dealt with so effectively. I wish this family so much luck in the future.
Mad respect to this man for getting help
I think this is truly so nice and touches the heart
Am I the only one who gets a tear in their eye because you know how in pain he was.
As an architect myself, we are born or trained with an acute sense of balance and composition and order. How this man allowed this to happen and tolerated it is unbelievable. I would guess that his wife's condition so overwhelmed him that he lost all sense of propriety. Realize, he didn't offer a fight --- that in itself was surprising and mysterious.
He didn't fight it?
You didn't watch the actual episode, did you?
