 Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone. Spalling DeCon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding, and much more. These are our stories. And the known assassin today helping a guy who's a musician and also a hoarder. He's accumulated 12 years worth of gist. He will even say it's trash. It's basically this hallway through. So you're not, you're not cleaning any of this? He doesn't want us to. I don't know how he uses the toilet, but it ain't that. And if it is that, ain't nothing getting flushed. Hey, this is Fiona Respalding. We're in the known assassin today helping a guy who's a musician and also a hoarder. He's accumulated 12 years worth of gist. He will even say it's trash. So we're just here helping him. A little difficult just because he's present and he wants to go through everything, but we've got all hands on deck today. So we're making really good progress. Today we've got me, Daddy Long Legs, Nico and Rebecca, the new girl. So we're introducing Nico and Rebecca into basically how to do a hoard. The first time since the holiday, right? Yeah, it's there. Yeah, so they're like second hoard. It's almost equivalent to the holiday giveaway as in the amount of trash that's in there. He also had a water leak, so there's a substantial amount of mold, pretty much on everything. So not only are we doing the hoard itself, but also putting his carpet to help dry out his place. But we're only touching one bedroom and then the bathroom, kitchen, living room, dining room. He wants you to leave one bathroom or one bedroom alone? He doesn't want us to touch that one bedroom and that one bedroom looks the less. To be honest with you. Did he say why? I believe that's the one he sleeps in. He's doing a lot better now than he was earlier. Earlier it was almost like at a standstill because he needed to see everything that we were doing. I think he's getting more comfortable with us now. So it's flowing a lot better. Are you guys doing a deep clean of stuff too or just getting the trash out? Just getting the trash out, pulling up the carpet and then putting some air movers and de-hews to just dry it out. Get rid of the mold for him. I feel great, bro. Enjoying your peanut butter crackers? Every day is giving me life, though. It ain't giving me life, man. I need my protein, you feel me? I sure do. How's his hoard treating you? Dude's actually really cool. You know what I mean? Dude's super cool. Seem like an eclectic dude, though. I like that he plays all these instruments. He's a lot better than he was the other day, which is cool. I don't know if he had to get a nice sleep. You know what I mean? But he's a lot better. He's more talkative, very opinionated, but still nice, you know what I mean? He doesn't want you calling him, sir. Yeah, you don't want me calling him, sir. But people got to understand that's just who I am as a person. I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, Rustville, Kentucky. So my parents, my mom and dad, to this day, they didn't hear me call somebody. Yes, ma'am? No, ma'am? Yes, sir? No, sir? That's a punch in the face. Automatic, right off the rip. Just straight punch in the mouth, wouldn't you say? Good job. They were tall so they can reach. Oh, yeah. So my mom didn't play no games. So all you moms out there, they don't play no games about this. Yes, sir. No, sir. No, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Keep doing that smack them in the face. Well, you know, we don't want to necessarily promote punching your kid in the face. No, a smack. A smack is a different. Just tell them it's a love tap. Let me just tell them it's a love tap. Okay. It's called love. And we at Bobby Deacon don't necessarily condone love taps. Yeah, because it's all love taps. Parents love you. They love you. My name is Thaddeus Key. Peanut butter crackers, slapping kids and calling people through. They're saying ma'am and sir. That's right. Are you going to punch some Pokemon goers? No, I'm just wondering for all those fans that keep talking shit about me not liking Pokemon goers. You can go screw yourself. You know, give you a love tap about that. All my Tetris, Miss Pac-Man people, Gallagher. Gallagher? Yeah, all less. Gallagher? Gallagher. Gallagher. That's Gallagher's sister. Gallagher. I'll do Pokemon go losers. God almighty. Just find, like, get a destination and all of you guys get together and get lost again. How about that? You're fucking hell of a die. Tetris don't make you do that. You know, I can sit here and play with this door right here and play Tetris like it's nobody's business. I can sit there and do a jumping jack and play Tetris. Oh, it's level fucking, you know, 400. Yeah. Tetris is multi-task. See what I'm saying? Talking about these Pokemon people made me drop my phone in here. I hate them. TV's dead. Okay. DVD players that's on top of the TV? Jazz, actually. Yeah. How long have you been playing, bro? Oh. Nine years old? Yeah. Probably pretty damn good. Yeah. Probably pretty damn good. Well, I've played with a lot of the players. The folks, the jazz, the top 40s, the showbans. I've read those books before. Blues, stuff like that. That's good. That's how you do that. That's how you do that. This TV, the box TV goes this? Yes. The small TV goes the modern TV stays. That's right here. That's it works. So it stays. Yeah. The box is where the cushions stay. Yeah, that's the one TV. I'm just going to set them on top of this microwave. Yeah, I don't know. I can't see with lights in my eyes. Oh, that goes away. That's right behind me. Okay. Okay. Interesting. Huh? Everything you want to go through here or you want to just take it as is. We could take it as is. Just like trash. It does look like trash. That's it. That's it. That's the CD you can go. You can just leave it there. I'll take it as is on here. Oh, yeah. I got big bucks. Something like that. I know there's a quarters collection, but the narrow right to the like look in between your legs. Look right through. Finish off this living area. At least get this coffee bowl. I can cut it right at the hallway. Great. I mean, we can deal with this bedroom over here. If you like, it's up to you. If you what, how about we do the living room? We're done with the living room. See how you feel. If you want to go for the bedroom, we can't. Great. Yes, let's do that. What you just said. How are you feeling today, Nico? Going good. It's going good. We got a lot of, a lot of stuff out today. I think all we have to do in living room is pull out some carpet. Is this your first hoard since the holiday giveaway? I don't know. All my days mesh with school and everything. What are you going to school for? Criminal justice. Is that why you wanted this kind of job? Kind of get it inside. I'm going to school for criminal justice. Ever since I was a kid, I want to become a cop. So it's my goal. Got to have that stick control thing. That stick control. And that one, like I say, is advanced techniques. You start with the stick control, then you go to the advanced techniques book. Then? And then I played the cello. Oh, that's more difficult than drugs. I have really good hands. He has cello. That's, that's really hard. Giving a snare drum. I used to listen to like drums and then just sit with my headphones on and just try it. That's the best way to do it. Yeah. And just let your body do what it does. Yeah. Don't worry about left or right or anything, any of the rules. That's what I go by. I let my body do what it does. Right. Life. Seriously. It just kept growing. It just kept growing to six, seven, to do whatever it does. It didn't help me in life. You go to a concert, you can still see the band. Dude, I can see the band. I don't have to worry about going to VIP. I'm looking right over everyone. Especially all these Pokemon people. I look right over. Right? Right over. Okay. It's basically this whole way through. So you're not, you're not cleaning any of this? He doesn't want us to. Yo, he climbed through this one. The door was wide open and no one was answering. And then he started answering and he climbed this one. Are you working hard or hardly working? Is this your first hoarding job since the holiday giveaway? Since the holiday, yeah. All right. How does it compare to that? He seems more like he wants to give it up. I know Hollis had a lot of trouble, but he seems more like he's ready to get rid of stuff and move on, which is positive. We love having you. And Fiona loves having another European here. British Invasion. That's right. I just got a burst of energy. I just wanted to just do some stuff. You know, you wanted to do something, so I was playing backwards for you. Are you playing anything? How'd it go today? Not bad. We made a lot of progress. So I know it's a lot for him, but we did the whole kitchen living room, dining room. So when we come back, it's literally just that little part of the hallway and the one bedroom to do. And then the bathroom. The bathroom. I think if he wants us to, he's up in the air on what he wants us to do with that. So we came to a stopping point today just because he wanted to take a break? Yeah. Got a little bit too much for him today, so he wanted to stop. Just put it in the standstill for the day. He just needs to recoup and just get situated with his new open floor plan. Good. That's right. We'll be back. So I'm out. See you next time. We're on day two. It's just going to be a longer day today because there's a lot more stuff to go through that he hasn't gone through at all. Where are we hoping to get done by the end of today? The bedroom. The only thing that stays is the furniture. Truthfully, I haven't been able to really look at the bed just yet, but he wants to keep the bed. Plumber's on his way to fix the toilet. I don't know how he uses the toilet, but it ain't that. And if it is that, ain't nothing getting flushed. Dude, I don't think Aquaman can fix that toilet. Now me and Thad. Toilet experts. Yes, we are. And as soon as you remove that toilet, everything's going to go. I don't really want to be the one that toilet gets removed. I do. To be honest with you. You can be the. That would be a good shot. You help the plumber. That's going to be pouring out of that and the smell is going to be horrendous. I can't wait. Well, maybe there's more. Wait a second. When did it expire? 1999. What did you guys see? Brown recalice. Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty big. It was. Where was it? On the mattress. On the mattress. Yeah. Which he said he's had a couple of spider bites before. Yeah, but nothing like that. He was like, I would have remembered a brown recalice. It's like a film, like an overcast over the carpet, all over the trash, but on top of that, it was just like somebody pulled a three liter, you know, water. Oil and water. And just, yeah. And just left it there for years, like the whole house is just. But think about it. It's toilet water that leaked out. Yeah, it's not good. Dinosaurs. Yeah. Could be. Restork. Pokemon Go. Could residue of, hold on. Pokemon Go goers. They've been here. So what are they playing? Oh, it's him playing. Oh, it's good. See, if it's keepable or not, it actually resembles a musical instrument anymore. That's just where all the musical equipment went when I would switch jobs. I played a variety of different instruments. Yeah. When I switch instruments, throw the ones in there and pull out the other ones that I'm going to use. Yeah. I have three drum sets, five guitars, Turnton Bollies, Pokemon Go. Good job. Just, I looked on the road for so long, once I got to play for my own, I started hoarding because I crewed. Instead of leaving out a suitcase and a van. Just plumbing people don't look like they want to do anything. Like if you chose to have a job with toilets, expect to deal with shit. Absolutely. Don't think that you're ready to pull a fucking cell phone out of there. It's just a different toilet, same shit. The other plumber said they can send somebody out tomorrow. Okay. They're getting it all in one piece and stuff. How about that floor? It's so new. Wait a minute, is that the dancing gopher from Caddyshack? Yes, it is. I used to have that same animatronic. Oh, it doesn't work anymore. I'm sure it doesn't work anymore. I'm sure there's batteries somewhere. That's like straight from my childhood. That's so crazy. Ah, I didn't see that coming. Oh shit, that's kind of cool. Hey, you find the best things in a yaw set. For real? I mean, it's terrifying, but it's cool. Right, it's a little creepy. Especially since it's hidden in all that stuff. Exactly. Come out towards me. Breathe, wake up, see another day. Be blessed and thankful. You're great, brother. I'm just glad we could be here to help you get some assistance to you. It's a lot better, you know, than what it was. You're one step closer to getting everything, you know. One bit at a time. In theory, that's true, yes. One bit at a time. Just finished lifting the laundry. Yeah, that washing machine is no joke. It actually was like loaded with clothes. So there was trash at the top. And there was clothes at the bottom of it. Like white clothes. Was it leaking? There's a bunch of water in there. Or is that just from the... Just from turning off the pipes. It drained out. We put it in a bucket. But it was starting to spray from what was in the line. Gonna go in and sweep up. Put his bed back in the bedroom for him. And see what else he wants us to do. And after that, we're done for the day. He was able to handle more than two hours. Which is good. Is this compared to any of your recent hordes you've been on? I mean, it's really like a four or five. To be honest with you, living condition wise. And the amount of damage from literally floor to ceiling. That's damage from what roof leak I think he said. Plus the toilet issue. This one was probably the wettest horde that I've done. Most hordes is just like chaos. This one, it was just... It was just wet. Heavy, wet, slimy. And just roaches. Tell them how you really feel about it. It's eye-opening to see that someone actually lives in these conditions. That's the one thing that never seems like... I'm always amazed by it. Every horde we do. I'm always like, how do they live this way? You know, then I go to the next one and it's like, how do you live this way? But they do. So I'm happy we're able to help. I know he appreciates it. Absolutely. I know he may not come off as super appreciative right now. It's kind of like he's holding his ego and his pride aside. But for me, it's about a level four. Like she was saying. The amount of dampness and wetness as far as on the walls, floor. So all the roaches and bugs and stuff like that really are like, this is their heaven. To get that up out of that apartment. So we can have some type of condition to walk around and at least try to sleep and get it taken care of. Step by step he's going to be able to knock it out. So I'm just glad we can be of some assistance to him. Put a little dent in it for him. So that way we can get him a lot closer to his ultimate goal and that's to not be a horder anymore. Right now he's got that rustic industrial look with the concrete flooring going on. So we're good. Another one down. Nice. You can't use that. That's hers. He's trying to kill it too. You feel me? You just stole a cone? This is from weeks ago. I've been wanting a cone. It's like all the other drivers, they get to put cones out on the road. I'm going to take my own cone. So whoever's missing a cone from whatever business you are, thank you. Appreciate your Christmas gift. So what are we doing today? So today we're doing a D-Clean all the best that we can. Limited space to work with but Rebecca's done and cleaned the walls. I've been focusing on the kitchen and the fridge. Niko's doing the bathroom. What all are we trying to get done by the end of today? We're trying to get as much clean as possible which is the best that it can be cleaned. How are we doing Niko? Good, good. You got an haircut? I look fresh. How long have you been in here? Probably like three, three and a half hours. In this one room? Just in the bathroom. It's so thick. In the bathroom that I've been using the scraper to get it off. So especially to get these walls like this. If you remember what it looked like before but we're getting there. Some good sloshy sounds. Ooh. They were back to do a deep clean. He was able to get his new toilet replaced. In the midst of getting his new toilet he realized that the washer dryer water valves were leaking and rotted out. So he had to get new ones of those. And while they were replacing those they found out that his hot water heater was leaking. All morning the entire apartment has been flooding. Like non-stop. Within minutes like you're standing in a puddle of water yourself, more work because it was difficult to focus on cleaning while trying to suck up all the water so it didn't cause more water damage. The main focus today was cleaning the kitchen, the bathroom and the walls for all the walls. He's not ready for us to go to the second bedroom yet. But we'll be coming back at some point to do the mold so that second bedroom is definitely going to have to get addressed. At the end of all of this his place is literally going to be brand new. He's pretty overwhelmed. I think he's about to be done for the day, to be honest with you. But we've made a lot of progress. I'm happy with the work that we've done today. You can definitely see difference. So that's good. That's pretty. Good job, Nico. I don't know if it looked like it when I moved in. Don't recognize it? No, I thought it looked like it was. Thank you very much. You're welcome. I'll see you Monday. See you later. I'm so hungry. It's not even funny. I think today went well. Bathroom looks probably the best it's ever looked along with the kitchen. Everything that can be cleaned got cleaned. Everything starts working out in its favor and it's supposed to get up high again. But yeah, so until next time. Thanks for watching guys.
