Who the fuck has their birthday at a game and hobby store?

8 year olds, teenage neckbeards and Chris.

... if Chris took the help from "Hoarders" a few years back.

There wasn't any help from hoarders offered.

I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few weens had contacted Hoarders to get them to do a piece on 14BLC, but shows like that do their homework. Doubtless they took a good look at Chris on the internet and came to the inevitable conclusion that he is Not Good Television, even for a show like Hoarders.

I think someone related to the hoarder and directly impacted by the mess has to contact the show. Even then they'd probably have to send pictures or video demonstrating how bad it has gotten (plus a few sob stories). Chris would have to contact them, do something he knows Barb would get pissed about, then provide an amount of effort in establishing why his mom needs help. So yeah, it will never happen. He'd rather sleep in shit (literally) then put effort into something like that.

Well, first of all, there are tons of reality tv shows that people could've contacted in the past. I think that ween kids are definitely willing to try lots of dumb plans, which would include reality tv shows. Occasionally they think of plans involving reality tv shows, just like any other dumb thing they can submit Chris' name to. But the frequency of those ideas popping up would be maybe between 0 and 2 weens every 2 years?* Something like that, anyway.

The hoarders show might have a bit more of an attraction, because their show would fit Chris' situation a bit more than most reality shows. So, maybe 1 and 4 weens every two years.*

But either way, the rumor is that someone submitted Chris' name to a tv show and that hoarders sent a fucking TV crew, without confirmation, to Chris' house and that Chris/Barb/Bob refused them at the door. It's a pretty retarded theory. I don't care about the theory so much, except that it's stuck around so strongly and people seem to believe it. That's kind of annoying.

*I would think that the level of people trying to get Chris on the hoarders show might increase a bit after someone started the original hoarders rumor, so, this number might be a bit bigger nowadays.

Just realized that there are no cups of soda next to Chris in his little kid photos.

He probably drank juice around that age. Then one night Bob and Barb let him try the joyous elixer known as "Da Pepseh" and he was forever changed.

The "TV crew coming to the door" story is a complete urban legend. I haven't seen any evidence for it anywhere, and you know it's something that at least one of the Chandlers would have mentioned at some point. I think it's one of those things that enough weens wish was true strongly enough that it never goes away; they believe it because they want to believe it. And of those that know it isn't true a fair number have called Hoarders to try to make it true.

I still contend, though, that it will never happen. No matter how many weens call Hoarders they will never do an episode on 14BLC. The Hoarders producers know better. One look on the internet will let them see Chris is more trouble than he is worth. Even the worst of the people on Hoarders are a little sympathetic; their behavior is compulsive, and the audience gets a slight cathartic "thank god I'm not them" experience from watching. But nothing about Chris is sympathetic. Nothing. He would not make for good television.

HOLY SHIT the guy holding the pony is a dead spit of my other half as a teen, hair and all! Creepy stuff.

Didn't OPL say something about wanting to be a cowboy as a kid? I wonder how long that lasted...maybe until he broke that poor pony's back in two, but even then he'd probably accuse it of playing America's favourite game and go hide under a desk while a teacher recorded the screams of the pony and...wait.

I think I might need some more coffee.

 

[CatParty]

Not funny; why are you trying to look like me?

 

[TrippinKahlua]

Does Chris have a Marijuana leaf tattoo'd on his face?

... if Chris took the help from "Hoarders" a few years back.

There wasn't any help from hoarders offered.

It was suggested to Chris multiple times, and he acknowledged it but refused. Chris spent years entering contests for huge prizes but can't enlist a TV show to clean his house and give him more sweet fame? I'm criticizing Chris' apathy about the hoard, not referring to a rumor about a visit to the Chandler home.

I disagree that they'd never do a show on 14 BC. You think TV producers have consciences? It would be the BEST episode.

Exactly, they didn't show up.
TV crews, not even for fake "reality shows" just randomly show up at people's front doors and just start filming. No, for a show like hoarders there is the initial contact with whomever is directly involved, getting an incredible amount of permits and waivers and then after pre-planning for weeks in advance and going over everything with the people involved, they shoot. Chris' house definitely has the shock value for Hoarders, but the producers would undoubtedly find it would be too risky given Chris' celebrity status. Once he's on hoarders his house may be clean and things are going well but the internet will catch onto him again and send him into another downwards spiral hurting ratings.

You think TV producers have consciences?

It's not an issue of conscience.
First problem to any media attention on the CWC we know and love is that it's the goddamn Lord of the Rings of crazy. There's at least ten minutes of explanation to even get an outsider up to speed on even the basics of him.
Also they wouldn't play ball. Reality tv needs reshoots and a lot of them use scripts.
An overwhelming majority of "reality tv" is filmed for the cameras. While Hoarder may genuinely be distressed and Snooki may genuinely be a skank, they stop and say "okay, let's get a scene here of you freaking out over this". That's how these shows get every damn thing on camera without having Big Brother style hidden cameras everywhere.
They're about as legit as Pro Wrestling. (sorry, no offense brotherdudejack). The 14BC gang wouldn't deal with being told when or when not to do anything, much less on THEIR SHOW THAT WAS PROMISED AND DIDN'T HAVE SIGNS UP SAYING NO Q-SANDS IN THE PRODUCTION TRUCK.
A documentary on a failed attempt to make an ep of Hoarders about them would probably be a much more entertaining thing.

I've seen plenty of episodes of Hoarders, I love the show. There are a number of episodes that are done with highly uncooperative folks. Usually the city is on their ass so they have no choice, and that would have definitely helped urge Barb and Chris to do something about it like calling rich TV people to do all the work for them. Too bad Green County doesn't give a shit about 14BC. Years ago when Hoarders was still new (and OPL was newish too) I really wanted two of my favorite things to collide, that's all. I'm bummed that I never got the greatest episode of Hoarders ever. I didn't necessarily want to derail the conversation or have people debate with me how silly I am for wanting something that would never occur. Let's get the topic back on track shall we?

SCARY EYES on Barb. This is probably the "sexiest" she can possibly look. I'd rate her a solid 3 here. What's all that stuff behind them on the shelves, records? Is that the "music room" where they live now? I wonder if Bob bought a shit ton of those obsolete video discs, are those in there too?

Was it? I can't find anything about that.

I was about to defend Barb, saying this picture makes her look like a plump Sarah Brightman, but then I remembered:

Sarah Brightman has crazy eyes, too.

 

[sparklemilhouse]

I think i have that 8 track player on the table.

Also, it seems like Bob hoarded records. I mean was he ever going to listen to all those records in his lifetime?

 

[Metal_Heavy19]

Fine line between collecting and hoarding. Very fine.

 

[TrippinKahlua]

Someone that looks like that circa 1982 would easily pick up the old man who impressed you at karaoke.

Wonder if she knew about Bob's history and thought she would become one of those bitches who marries a rich old guy. You know, like Anna Nicole Smith or any of the Playboy Bunnies.

If so, the irony is astounding.
