00:51¡Hey Fran!
00:52Want to go to lunch?
00:54Well I'm having a little bit of a problem right now
00:56because I can't find the angel teddy bear blow mold anywhere
00:59and I know I have it
01:01I just don't know where we have it
01:03My name is Brandon
01:04I live in Uni Beach with my mom Lori
01:06and I am a first grade teacher
01:08I don't see any bears under there
01:11I see lots of reindeer
01:13So Lori lives in my house
01:15with all of my Christmas decorations
01:17I don't think so
01:18I think you live in my house
01:24I kind of look at it as a best friendship at this point
01:27we've just grown together
01:28we've grown up together I think in some ways
01:32I got my love of Christmas really from her
01:35Besties for the Rusties
01:36Besties for the Rusties
01:37That's it
01:40Hey! What's up?

01:44Oh, thank you!
01:45You're welcome
01:46Wow, I love that
01:47My name's Amanda
01:48Brandon had a Christmas in July party a few weeks ago
01:51and I wasn't able to attend
01:52so I wanted to bring over a gift
01:54This is my mom Lori, you remember her, right?
01:56Hi! Nice to see you
01:57Nice to see you again
01:58Oh my gosh
01:59The trees?
02:01Yes
02:02Oh my gosh, Brandon
02:04Does that stay up all year?
02:05All year
02:06We got a lot of things
02:07like I'm refinishing some things
02:09we have like
02:10that was for my party
02:12people could sign them and everything
02:13which is really neat
02:14I love that
02:15Yeah
02:16And the little balloons
02:17The balloons
02:18It's summertime
02:19so walking into here
02:20I was not expecting to see
02:21all the Christmas trees
02:22all the decorations already up
02:24I was blown away
02:25I was shocked
02:26I love it
02:27But that's not all
02:28I mean there's other things
02:29Oh yeah, you have to come
02:30You have to see the other rooms
02:31with the trees
02:32Oh my goodness
02:33The trees
02:36Well, Brandon's been into Christmas
02:37since he was two
02:39He used to decorate his room
02:41He wanted his own tree
02:42I am obsessed with Christmas
02:44We definitely have some rare pieces
02:46and they're going to be out
02:48I want you to be able to see them
02:49It's cool that people like
02:51appreciate the uniqueness of them
02:54We are sort of famous
02:56for doing the lights
02:57People recognize us all the time
02:59like wherever we go
03:00Where they'll be like
03:01you're the people that do that house
03:02and I'm like
03:03Yep
03:04Is this your garage?
03:13It was our garage
03:14It was supposed to be from my car
03:16but it's no longer
03:17I knew you were crazy about Christmas
03:20but not this crazy
03:23Just a little bit
03:25What is this, Brandon?
03:26I would just be careful
03:27because you might have an avalanche
03:29I'm going to keep this shut then
03:30Everything is good
03:31Yeah
03:32I'm going to shut it
03:33I've never seen anything like this
03:34Well
03:37Just wait
03:38Wait, there's more?
03:39That's not even
03:40That's not even
03:41A quarter of it
03:42A quarter?
03:43There is a major obsession
03:45with the blow mold figures for the yard
03:48We have well over 2,000 blow molds
03:50There could be more
03:51It is always a challenge to be like
03:53Well, I think we have this one
03:54but I don't even know how many we have
03:56or something like that
03:57I feel like I get torn
03:59Like it's too much
04:00and then I'm like
04:02but he really loves them
04:03and it makes people happy
04:04You gotta just say
04:05there's stuff everywhere
04:07More
04:08More light up stuff
04:10Under my pool deck
04:11All the way to the end
04:12This is crazy
04:14It's crazy
04:15So the garage
04:17All of this
04:18All of this
04:19And there's more
04:20And there's more
04:22Yep
04:23Brandon
04:25How do you even know what's in here?
04:26I found a deer
04:27What?
04:28Oh my God
04:30Oh my God
04:31I'm standing back
04:33I really love blow molds so much
04:35because they're just really simple
04:37They're just a piece of plastic
04:38that just has a light inside
04:41My love of blow molds started when I was very young
04:44and I just think they're so cool
04:46They're so colorful
04:47and they evoke such nostalgic, fun Christmas memories
04:51Oh my God
04:52What just fell on me?
04:53Oh my God
04:54There's a bug
04:57And then we got tons of stuff over in here
05:00Just stay back for a minute
05:02Cool
05:05So
05:06Brandon
05:11Am I a hoarder?
05:12The day old holiday question here
05:14Yeah
05:15That is insane
05:16Yep
05:17Merry Christmas everyone
05:19Maybe like I'm on the cusp of being a hoarder
05:22Over here
05:24Oh my God
05:25Almost got taken down by the soldier
05:28I think I'm a collector
05:29We'll use the C word instead
05:31I'm a collector
05:32I disagree with collector
05:34I call it hoarding because he can't just have one of something
05:36He has to have, you know, multiples of everything
05:39And he doesn't like to part with things
05:41Like I have no, I have no space in this house
05:44I feel like I have my room
05:46And my bathroom
05:48And that's about it
05:49Okay
05:51So I'll put this guy down here
05:53And let me open this one up
05:58Just a couple more
06:00I don't know if me gifting you this was necessary
06:02Well
06:04Actually, funny you should say that
06:06There's one
06:07I should have known that you'd already have this
06:11But wait
06:12They're triplets now though
06:14So that's exciting
06:15Oh my God
06:16Well, I love that there's three of them
06:17Right
06:18Now they're like friends
06:19Where'd you get them all?
06:21Yard sales
06:22Flea markets
06:23Dumpster diving
06:24Wow
06:25Merry Christmas
06:26All right Bill, let's see what else we can use
06:39What's your focus?
06:41Focus right now is the dining room
06:43Because I want to give it that Gilded Age look
06:45Oh my gosh
06:47I'm Mario and this is Bill
06:49And we live in Yonkers, New York
06:51We work together
06:52We run a retail store for 28 years
06:56And we're there every day
06:59You know, we're inseparable
07:01I agree
07:03These soldiers are actually going to go upstairs this year
07:06They're not going to go in the dining room
07:07Because they don't fit in with that theme
07:08I was always fascinated by Christmas as a child
07:11I just love the sparkle
07:13And the whole magical theme behind it
07:16It's just, it's the best time of the year
07:19And then where are these going to go?
07:20Well these are the reads for the staircase
07:22We met in high school in 1986
07:24We were friends for quite a number of years
07:26And then it just morphed into a relationship
07:29And the rest is history
07:31I'm the trophy
07:33All right Bill
07:34What are you going to bring up?
07:35So, for my vision
07:37I think we're going to bring up
07:39The Golden White Santa
07:42Because he'll work in with that theme
07:45All right
07:46You got it, I've got him
07:47I've got him
07:49My Christmas decorating style
07:51It's like couture clothing
07:53It's perfection
07:56So, I want you to grab
07:59The Nutcracker Butler
08:01Okay
08:02Whether it's my Santas
08:04Or my Christmas trees
08:05My ornaments
08:06Everything is like a couture garment
08:09Look at these ornaments
08:10They have that old world
08:12Oh yeah, yeah
08:14Every year the collection grows
08:16Those are all ornaments there
08:17I have my small wreaths here for the window
08:19Oh my gosh
08:20I have all these trees
08:21I got these guys
08:22These nutcrackers here
08:24I don't think it's a hoard
08:26It's not a hoard if it's good
08:28These are the soldiers that are going to go upstairs this year
08:31They used to be in the dining room
08:32You got a lot of stuff
08:33I mean, I'm the king of Christmas
08:34So, it has to be more
08:36More is not more for me
08:37I could take a collection
08:39And I could pick, you know, my favorite
08:41And take some away
08:43I cannot get rid of them
08:46I can't
08:47This is the last one, right?
08:49Oh no, Bill
08:50There's dozens more after this
08:52As a child
08:53I would, you know, decorate the ceiling
08:55Or the walls
08:56And one year, my sister-in-law said
08:59Oh, Mariam, you're the king of Christmas
09:01I must have been maybe 10 or 11 years old
09:03When she said that
09:04And to this day, it stuck with me
09:06So, when I started my social media
09:09I said, oh, what am I going to call this, you know?
09:12And I said, I'm going to call it
09:15Official king of Christmas
09:17Alright, I love this guy
09:19He's going to look great
09:21Color scheme is perfect
09:26Takes up a lot of room
09:27Yeah, but look how good you look together
09:30Hello
09:31Billy and Santa
09:32Oh my gosh
09:34How great is that?
09:35That's beautiful
09:36Then scrape it
09:38Perfect
09:39He rushes it
09:40It's like rushing
09:42My life
09:43I want to enjoy
09:45You know, the summer
09:47And all that
09:48But the minute July 4th passes
09:50He's like, summer's over
09:51Game on, it's game on
09:53The entire house
09:54Is decorated from top to bottom
09:56And Christmas
09:57And it debuts on social media
09:59At 8pm on Halloween night
10:01Everybody loves it
10:03My followers on social media
10:04Continues to grow
10:06And I want that
10:07And then you're going to do tree in a tree?
10:09So I'm thinking
10:11My new Couture Santa
10:12And maybe how about
10:13Two more Couture Santas on either side
10:16I could always replace the tree
10:18With a pair of nutcrackers
10:20Actually, they might work with my Couture Santa
10:23Now, did you get this Santa?
10:27Uh, no
10:28Is it coming in the mail?
10:29It is not coming in the mail
10:30It can't be shipped
10:31Oh
10:32We have to go pick it up
10:33Where?
10:34Um, I can't tell you just yet
10:36My artist who makes my Santas
10:39Who I will never reveal
10:42Pretty much whatever she creates
10:44I scoop up
10:47Here we are
10:51Wow, there's a lot in there
10:52There are a lot
10:53There are a lot
10:54I actually have the largest collection
10:55Of her creations than anyone else
10:58Some people might have one or two
10:59I have almost 30 or 40 pieces
11:03I keep all my handmade Santas
11:06In a cabinet
11:07In my dressing room
11:08So that every morning
11:10I can open up that cabinet
11:11And say good morning friends
11:13And start my day happy
11:15Because looking at them makes me happy
11:18I'm just happy with a cup of coffee
11:19A cup of coffee
11:21Okay, so
11:22Just so I know
11:24When you go, when you die
11:26Do you want this cremated with you?
11:31You know, that wouldn't be a bad idea
11:33Or maybe you could just cremate me
11:35And buy me a mausoleum
11:36And put these all on the shelf surrounding me
11:38Yeah, I'll figure it out
11:39Whatever
11:41Okay, thank you
11:45It's menorah madness heaven
11:47And it can be all yours
11:50I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it
11:52There's a lot of branches in my way
11:54I don't think we should be taking stuff out of there
11:57I knew there would be Christmas stuff in here
11:58It's a little messy in here, I've been going through things
12:13What are these, mom?
12:15Cute little manoras, aren't they adorable?
12:18I found these really cute hats and a wig
12:23And I wanted to see what you look like in them
12:26My name is Flo, and I'm from New Jersey
12:30You try it on, let's see how it looks
12:32Come on, honey, you look good in blue
12:34Okay
12:36Oh, look how chic you are
12:38I love it
12:40I love the Hanukkah holiday
12:42Because it makes me feel joyful
12:44And appreciate all of the miracles in life
12:48We could match with the headbands
12:50It would be so cute
12:51Oh, that is adorable
12:53Do I have a lot of stuff?
12:54Absolutely, and I'm proud of it
12:57My dreidel divas, I love it
13:00I'm Tara, I'm Flo's oldest daughter
13:03And I'm Lauren, and I'm Flo's youngest daughter
13:08Over the past 20 years, she has started collecting more, shopping
13:13Can we just talk wrapping paper for a second?
13:15Sure
13:16I think you're good this year, Mom
13:17I think you're really good if you could see, like, look at all this
13:19I think you've got like 50 rolls
13:21Anything she finds Hanukkah, she purchases
13:24You should see the pajamas I got for everybody
13:28She's also very crafty, so she makes some of these things herself
13:31Look at this, this one
13:33Shimmies, it shimmies, it shakes and shimmies and shines
13:37Don't you love it?
13:39The internet is her friend
13:41This is an invention that you won't believe
13:44When you screw this onto the nozzle of your faucet, it turns the water blue
13:51So it's perfect for Hanukkah
13:54And if it's not available online, she will have it custom-made
13:58That is my extra-large menorah
14:01You think that's big?
14:03I found one that's three times the size
14:06Mom, you didn't get it
14:08They're holding it for me, I'm picking it up
14:10You don't need it
14:12You never know when you might need something like this
14:15I know you won't
14:17I don't think I'm a hoarder
14:19Does anybody need any shopping bags for Hanukkah?
14:22I have quite a few
14:24I know my way around my basement
14:25Be careful, Mom, there's like so much here
14:28No, I'm fine
14:30I don't want you to sit, okay
14:32I'm fine
14:34Manorah Madness, it's the most over-the-top Hanukkah party you have ever seen
14:37We probably need a few more things to make it look nice and full
14:40Why don't you grab this tower?
14:42Let's grab this one
14:44You like those? They're cute, aren't they?
14:46Wait, Mom, we're taking this, right?
14:48They're cute
14:49Hanukkah, it is a tradition that we look forward to every single year
14:51And as the family grows, it seems that the party grows
14:55You know what? It would really be great for you guys to take on this party
15:01My parents were Holocaust survivors and went on to lead productive lives
15:07It's a miracle
15:10So that also has perpetuated me wanting to, continuing to honor the miracle
15:17I know that you have what it takes to do this, so what do you think?
15:24Mom, you're a Hanukkah legacy in this family
15:26I don't think we could ever, ever meet these standards, so...
15:29No, we could absolutely not
15:31And Laura does Thanksgiving, right before
15:34Sometimes it's even, like, right around the corner
15:36So close, and Tara, you do Mother's Day
15:38That's kind of her holiday
15:40I hope my daughters will take over Manorah Madness
15:44Even though they share with me their feelings about the voluminous amount of things I have Hanukkah related
15:52They love this party
15:55Tara, you have a garage?
15:57What's important is that they continue the tradition
16:00That they recognize the miracle of this holiday
16:04Maybe it'll just take a little convincing
16:07But I have to go get changed for the party
16:10The guests will be arriving soon
16:12That should be enough
16:14Ah, you know what I forgot about?
16:16Look, blue toilet seat
16:18I've used it before, it got rave reviews
16:28Can't wait to see what they have
16:29I know, I might find something good here
16:31You might
16:33It really is that thrill of the hunt
16:35And as a collector, I'm, like, always seeking the next cool thing for my holiday displays
16:40They got a lot of trees
16:42Oh my gosh
16:44Wow
16:45I like that one
16:46There's this antique store in a town over from us
16:50And that's one of my main spots to go and hunt for the blowmolds
16:55Hey guys!
16:56Hi!
16:57Hey, how are you?
16:58Good, how's it going?
16:59Good!
17:00Just on my blowmold hunt
17:01You got any new ones?
17:02Oh yeah, we might have some special ones
17:04I'll let you take a look through the basement maybe
17:06Oh, I love going through the basement
17:08When you are, like, a serious collector
17:11You build these connections with community people
17:13And you become friends with the shop owners at the antique places
17:17Oh, remember, we're looking for an angel teddy bear
17:20There is a very large blowmold community
17:23It's a nice community of people who enjoy the same thing as you
17:26Like, if somebody has one they don't have, I think it's cool, you know, I'm like, oh, I need that one
17:29Like, the other day, someone posted a rare teddy bear angel blowmold that I thought I had, but I can't find it
17:36Yep
17:38Oh my God
17:40All right, well, I don't think it's in here either
17:43I really felt confident in this one
17:46Knowing that, okay, this is out there, and now I need to be able to hunt it down and be able to find it
17:53That's the thrill of it, finding the piece that maybe you don't have
17:56I don't need a flashlight yet
17:59I'm a little nervous
18:01Looks dark in here
18:03A lot of equipment
18:04Oh God, lots of music stuff
18:06Lots of music stuff, I like that
18:08There's a lot of Christmas stuff in here, so
18:10They do
18:13That's terrifying
18:15Thank goodness we have a flashlight
18:17Oh, there's more blowmolds up there, Brent
18:20Oh my God
18:22It's a blowmold goose wearing a guitar
18:24Oh my God, that's a wig!
18:27It has a wig!
18:29You could dress him up as a Santa suit
18:31I have to have this, I think
18:32Oh my gosh
18:33Do we need it?
18:34Add to cart
18:35Add to cart
18:36Great
18:38I've spent more than what people would pay for a house, I think, on blowmolds
18:42Last year alone, I think we spent like $17,000 on Christmas decorations
18:45Which is crazy, this is why you can't get your own place
18:47Do you realize you could pay off all your debt and then still have money in the bank if you sold some of this stuff?
18:56Minimal, minimal
18:58No debt
19:00I don't know if I've ever actually gone this deep into the basement
19:03Look!
19:05Nice!
19:07I'm gonna have to go digging in there
19:10Good luck
19:11Oh my God, there's a lot
19:13But now I have to know what else
19:14I don't know how to get in here
19:16Don't stand up
19:18Well, I don't think I could stand up if I wanted to
19:20It's funny to try
19:21There's stuff all the way in the back, I could see it
19:23Yeah, there's blowmolds all the way back there
19:25Maybe you'll find your teddy bear angel
19:26There are also spider webs and that's gonna be a little bit of a problem
19:32I will do anything to get the blowmolds
19:36Whether that be dumpster diving, pulling them off the side of the road, picking them up from friends, cutting open boxes at box stores
19:45He's insane
19:47If there is a way to get them, I will find it and I will get them
19:53Oh, Santa
19:54Hello, Santa
19:55Hello, Santa
19:57Oh my God, I smacked my head so freaking hard
20:07You're not gonna believe what's back here
20:10They got the Santa with the puppy
20:12But I'm not seeing the one we're after
20:17All right, well, let's go
20:19All right, but I am gonna get the goose
20:21That was like a treasure hunt almost
20:22So my knees didn't like it
20:25It's the best goose I've ever seen in my life
20:27Yeah, but you're paying
20:29We got the holiday goose, so
20:32That's cool, that's a good piece
20:34Yeah, I like the goose
20:35Can we do 20 bucks on the goose?
20:37We can do it, do it for them, yep
20:39They're our regular good customers
20:41You got your goose for 20 bucks
20:42Now where are we going?
20:47Uh, well, I can't tell you that just yet
20:51Okay, you'll see as we go
20:54So, uh, Bill's taking the ride with me to pick up my new Santa
20:58From my secret Santa lady
21:00I have the cream of the crop, I have the best of the best
21:03There are people out there that don't have some of the pieces that I have
21:05And I don't want anyone else having her Santas, her creations
21:11Every time I meet with her, it's a different location
21:15Because I'm so worried that somebody's following me
21:17Oh, gosh, are you for real?
21:19It happens, people hide in the bushes
21:21Oh, boy
21:23Oh, I'll be excited to meet her
21:25No, Bill, nobody gets to meet her
21:27She is my secret, just like Santa is a secret
21:31She is my Santa
21:33Jesus
21:34Who were you worried about knowing?
21:36Well, I'm worried that family and friends and even my followers on King of Christmas will, you know, eventually know who she is
21:44And then you don't want her busy on other people's stuff
21:47I don't want, correct, I'm just afraid that I won't get the half a dozen that I want every year
21:53Wait a minute, you don't buy six a year
21:57Well, if you count, I buy them as early as January and as, you know, as far as December
22:04That's getting crazy
22:07Wish me luck, Bill
22:08Ah, yeah, you got it
22:09All right, I know I got this
22:10Hurry up
22:11All right, awesome
22:12Then I want my wine
22:13You'll get your wine
22:14All right, okay, hurry up
22:18Unbelievable
22:22Bill has a cute butt
22:27Darn bug
22:33This is ridiculous
22:34Come on
22:35I got it, Bill
22:36Great
22:37I did it, I got it
22:38I'm so excited
22:39There's a lot of bugs
22:40Can't wait to see it
22:41All right, calm down with the bugs
22:42Calm down
22:43Oh, wow
22:44Oh my gosh
22:47The minute I saw it, had tears in my eyes
22:49Oh my goodness
22:52It happens, you know, I get emotional over them
22:55I couldn't have dreamt what she came up with
22:58Magnificent
23:01Bill, this is the best she's ever made
23:03Wow
23:04Look at this hat
23:05Look, she created the hat
23:06Wow
23:07Out of old Gucci fabric
23:09It's definitely extremely special
23:12Probably more special than the other pieces in the collection
23:16Look at this lace trim going around his coat
23:18And this beautiful, beautiful crushed velvet fabric
23:24Everything about this is just perfect
23:27It's beautiful
23:30That's it? That's all you got?
23:32It's beautiful, yeah
23:35It's breathtaking, it's spectacular
23:38It's breathtaking, it's spectacular
23:41It is the best
23:42So you're happy?
23:43I am ecstatic
23:44Good
23:50All right, let's see what we find
23:53All right, where should we look?
23:55Go down by the beachfront
23:56Yeah, and then maybe up around the beachfront
23:59That sounds good
24:01This is my favorite day to look for stuff because it's trash day
24:04It is trash day
24:05So we are gonna be on the hunt
24:07We are after the angel teddy bear blow mold
24:10So I am searching high and low for this piece
24:14Because it would be wonderful to have this, like, diamond in the rough piece
24:17A part of all of my future holiday displays
24:23More garbage
24:24Garbage, my favorite
24:26Blow molds, blow molds
24:27That street's got some garbage cans
24:30That one's over there
24:32Oh, that's like recycling cans
24:33That's recycling, yeah
24:35Plastic, at least
24:36Yeah, it is plastic
24:37Not the kind of plastic you want
24:38But it's plastic
24:40As a teacher, definitely don't make the most amount of money
24:43Garbage picking is how I find a lot of our blow molds
24:45And a lot of the pieces that we use in our displays
24:48I mean, I have no shame
24:49I'll just pull over and go get it
24:52Bull pick up day
24:53Oh, forget it
24:54It's like his birthday
24:55Surprise!
24:56Yeah, it's like a holiday, you know
24:57Second Christmas
24:58Bull pick up day
25:00See anything?
25:01I'm gonna just go take a look
25:09Nothing?
25:10All the garbage was picked up on this block
25:13Oh, God
25:15Is it surprising to see him go trash picking?
25:18Because you have to do it with him
25:19It's kind of scary in a way
25:20Because you don't know how people are going to react to it
25:22And, you know, they're probably thinking you're crazy
25:24Why are you going through somebody's garbage?
25:26But it would support anything that he wants to do in his life
25:29And that's part of the problem is I think I'm an enabler
25:32If I wasn't
25:33It's all coming out
25:34We wouldn't be in this position
25:36It's all coming out
25:38So there you go
25:40But that's my thing
25:41Like, he does it to make people happy
25:43And people are genuinely happy when they come to see the display
25:47Oh, stop, stop, stop
25:48I think I see it blowing all my trash
25:50Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, wait, wait
25:53Oh
25:59Oh
26:02The thing is, I'm not just picking up garbage
26:06I pulled busted blow molds out of the garbage just to take the light kits
26:09Or, like, the eyeballs
26:10Just to take, you know, the pieces that I know I can fix another one with
26:18Huh
26:19Oh
26:23Garbage, bro
26:24I got a blow mold
26:29That guy was just like, hey, what the are you doing?
26:32I'm like, um, just trying to live my life, dude, I don't know
26:36That's funny
26:38When you're on the hunt and you do crazy things like garbage picking and dumpster diving
26:42You do get confronted by people
26:44It's almost like a panic a little bit
26:46You're like, um, well, I'm gonna take this and just, I'm gonna run with it
26:50All right, well, I found a blow mold
26:51It's broken
26:53It's a little cracked and we could fix it
26:54A little
26:56No blow mold left behind
26:57It is the sickness, you know this, right?
26:59One man's junk is another man's treasure, right?
27:02Oh
27:04You remember years ago when we started using bagels and latkes
27:09And they look nice on your tree?
27:11They look really nice, right?
27:13They look good enough to eat, but they're not
27:16I need a big one, yeah, so here, scissors, just be very gentle
27:19Cut the fabric
27:20I know how to cut plastic
27:21All right
27:22Look
27:23All right, okay, Bill
27:24I'm cutting fine, don't worry
27:25No, no, no, no, Bill, you have to go slow
27:26Bill
27:29Hello
27:35Here's some Hanukkah gelt for you
27:38We have costumes here if you'd like to wear one
27:41We are doing a pre-Menora Madness party to convince my daughters to continue this tradition
27:50So we did it early and invited a bunch of guests
27:55Look at you all dressed as a Menora, you need a hat to go with that
28:00To continue to impress upon my daughters how important it is for them to pass this idea through the generations
28:11Look at Rabbi's hat
28:14I would never have recognized this good Catholic girl
28:19Not to let it be part of history
28:24Look at these people, you can see how much fun they're having
28:28They are
28:29There's menorahs, there's rabbis, there's dreidels
28:33No detail was left undone between the decorations, the costumes, all the details
28:42It was just a once-in-a-lifetime celebration for me
28:48Never been to anything like it before
28:49It's menorah madness heaven and it can be all yours
28:55You better greet your guests mom
28:57Yeah get the door, go ahead
28:59Hi
29:01I can't, I'm not doing it, I can't
29:03We do love menorah madness, absolutely
29:05It's like you enter into this Hanukkah world when you come in here
29:09So it's really neat to have the gift of that
29:11Did it inspire you?
29:13It inspired me to come back and see what my mom does next year
29:19Girls, come over here
29:21Okay
29:23You remember years ago when we started using bagels and latkes
29:28It must have been what, 20 years ago you varnished these bagels?
29:31Probably 25 years ago
29:33And these potato pancakes that you varnished
29:35Right, what do you think of them?
29:37They look nice on your tree
29:38They look really nice, right?
29:40They look really nice, right?
29:42I use them every year as part of my decoration
29:45They look good enough to eat but they're not
29:48When you take over this party, you can hang them wherever you want
29:54We don't want that, you keep this
29:56Mom, this is your thing, you know what?
29:58One day when we take over Hanukkah, we'll have our own twist on it
30:01Ah, I gotcha
30:03You said you were taking it over
30:05Mom, I didn't mean take over manovra madness
30:06Oh
30:07You did, I heard you because I didn't say it
30:09Small scale, no, I think they didn't get that on tape, right?
30:12No, they did
30:14I would be willing to take it over at a fraction of what she does
30:18It would not look like this
30:20Absolutely, I won't be doing that, but I'll take little pieces
30:26So I'd like to welcome you all to Manovra Madness
30:29I have been holding this party for about 40 years
30:39In thinking about this, however, I would like to make an announcement
30:44That I will be passing the baton to my capable daughters, Tara and Lauren
30:57Let's give them a round of applause
30:58Thank you
31:00Thank you
31:01I knew I was going to put my daughters on the spot
31:05But that was the only way I felt that I could be successful in my mission
31:10And Happy Hanukkah
31:11Enjoy
31:13Happy Hanukkah
31:14Don't ever expect this again if we're taking over
31:17If you would like to have a Manovra Madness party, this is all you need
31:30A step-by-step manual to successful Manovra Madness parties
31:34You will absolutely be met with success
31:37Try it
31:46Yeah, my friend told me that there was an estate sale here the other day
31:50I don't know
31:51I don't know either
31:52Well, guess we'll find out
31:55Well, this is it
31:56What do you think they have?
31:57I mean, I don't know
31:58What do you think they have?
31:59Wait, don't go in there
32:00Let me see if there's somebody home
32:01I'm ready to dive in
32:02I'm not going to lie to you because I think I see something
32:03I know, but we have to make sure
32:05There might be some good stuff in here
32:07We are after the angel teddy bear blow mold
32:11This item's so rare and so hard to find and so sought after
32:15That you have to do some extreme things sometimes
32:19Be careful
32:20Yeah, no, that's not too sturdy, but
32:22You have to go garbage picking and thrifting and dumpster diving and things like that
32:28There's a lot of branches in my way
32:30Wait
32:31I don't think we should be taking stuff out of there
32:34Oh my gosh
32:36He will do anything to get a blow mold
32:37I mean, the first time he did it I think I was a little taken back by it
32:40Because I'm like, you're really going to jump into a dirty dumpster to like look through to see what's in there
32:45That's a little crazy
32:49People probably have a camera on their house and we're going to get
32:51That won't be the first time or the last time I'm on somebody's camera for dumpster diving
32:57Oh, what do we got going on over here?
32:59What do we do?
33:00I knew there would be Christmas stuff in here
33:02Oh my gosh, is it a blow mold? I can't see
33:04Come on
33:06Who would throw that away?
33:08Do you need that?
33:09I need a prize, so
33:12From dumping, going in the dumpster
33:15Come on now
33:16It's broken
33:18It's dented
33:20I am doing the earth a service
33:22That piece did not have to go to the landfill
33:25And it's single-handedly because of me
33:29I can't even argue with that
33:34Well, where there's one, there's more
33:36So there's definitely going to be another light bulb in here somewhere, I'm sure
33:39Or something else Christmas, or
33:43Come on, what are you guys up to?
33:46Hey, how are you?
33:48Are you guys moving in soon?
33:50Oh, no, we don't live here
33:52I just kind of
33:54Use this dumpster as my digging spot today
33:57Do you have permission?
33:59Um
34:05Do you have permission?
34:07For my homeowner?
34:09I wouldn't say permission, but
34:11Are you that Christmas guy?
34:13Oh, of course
34:15A lot of people will talk about you
34:16Thousands and thousands and thousands of lights on your house
34:19Correct, still looking for more
34:20And all decorations
34:22Yep
34:23I've heard about you
34:24That's so funny
34:25That is funny
34:26You gotta come over
34:27Well, hey, you gotta see the hunt first hand
34:28Well, have a good day now

34:45You're like, oh, well, now I'm done
34:46I'm not gonna go look

35:10Right?
35:11He's the center of attention
35:12All of our guests are gonna see him
35:13The minute they walk through the door
35:14I still find more and more detail
35:16He's just really a mess
35:17Yeah
35:18Oh my gosh
35:19How do you like it?
35:20Oh my gosh

35:35Maybe I'll help you with this
35:36Um
35:37No, Bill
35:38I don't need your help
35:39I'd prefer that you don't help me
35:41Maybe I'll um
35:43Maybe I'll sit in the corner
35:44With a glass of wine
35:45Um
35:46No, I'd rather you
35:48Step out of the room
35:49I want to get this done
35:50I'm focused on decorating this room
35:52Oh, what's this one?
35:53Bill
35:54Don't touch my ornaments
35:55Look, it looks so nice in the light
35:59Bill
36:00Don't play with the ornaments
36:01They're not toys
36:02All right
36:03Okay
36:04I'll put it down
36:05If you're itching to do something
36:06Oh, this is pretty
36:07That is a very pretty ornament
36:08I know it's my favorite
36:09Oh wow
36:10But please, please Bill
36:11You're gonna break it
36:12Put it down gently
36:13All right, okay
36:14Please, it's very delicate
36:15I know you're itching to do something
36:16What about unwrapping the nutcracker?
36:17All right, I'll go
36:18Would you do that for me?
36:19Okay
36:20He's a big one
36:21With the scissors
36:22Just be very gentle
36:23Um, just make sure you don't cut
36:24I know how to cut flat
36:25All right
36:26Look
36:27All right, okay, Bill
36:28I'm cutting fine
36:29Don't worry
36:30No, no, no, Bill
36:31You have to go slow
36:32Bill
36:33Isn't he cute?
36:34Did you name him?
36:35This is Colonel Winchester
36:37Let's put his plume on his hat
36:39And now he's ready
36:40Isn't he awesome?
36:41Can I get you a glass of wine?
36:43I'm sure Colonel Winchester
36:44Would love a glass of wine
36:45Do you want me to trim his beard?
36:46Why don't you go there?
36:47No, do not
36:48Do not go near his beard
36:49Thank you, Bill
36:50I really appreciate your help
36:51I'll get a glass of wine
36:52All right, go ahead
36:53I'm really excited
36:54To show off to my fans
36:56And my followers
36:57My room
36:58And my vision
36:598pm
37:00Is when I unveil the house
37:01On social media
37:02And I hope everybody loves it
37:05And look at that
37:06Now he's complete
37:07Isn't he awesome?
37:09Let me just see this
37:10All right
37:11Be careful
37:12Be careful
37:13Bill
37:14You wanna fight?
37:15Bill
37:16Bill
37:17No
37:18No, no, no
37:19All right
37:20No
37:29I genuinely don't think I'll be able to stop looking for this piece
37:34This blow mold, teddy bear, angel bear
37:37Simply because there is definitely an obsession
37:41Heads are rolling today
37:42With getting more and more and more pieces for my collection
37:49What are you doing?
37:50Trying to find the blow mold
37:53I've looked everywhere else
37:54And this would be my last attempt to try to find that blow mold
37:57But I don't know where I could have put it
38:00It's gotta be here somewhere though
38:02I see a lot of boxes back there, I don't see it
38:04We have a lot of stuff, so
38:06We don't have a lot of stuff
38:08We have a lot of stuff
38:09You have a lot of stuff
38:10Okay
38:11You have a problem
38:12Okay
38:13You have a Christmas collecting problem
38:14Maybe a little bit
38:15A little bit
38:16But your look may be over
38:17Because I think I found it
38:19No way
38:20Look
38:21So obviously I love my son
38:22I would do anything for him
38:23Which obviously I do
38:25You know, I go out with him
38:26I find him things
38:27I'm helping him
38:28We're helping others
38:29We feel joy
38:30They feel joy
38:31I would love a few less blow molds
38:33At the end of the day
38:34It's a bond that we have
38:35And that's what this is all about
38:36It's all about Christmas
38:38No way
38:40Where is that?
38:41It's in Red Bank
38:42Like our Red Bank?
38:43Yes
38:44Like close?
38:45Yes, right around the corner
38:46Where did you find that?
38:47So my friends have been looking for me too
38:49And they found it
38:50You think we should go?
38:51We're going right now
38:52Let's get in the car
38:53What are we doing with this stuff?
38:54We're leaving that stuff right there
38:55We gotta go
38:56We gotta clean up
38:57We gotta go
38:58Alright, let's go
38:59Yay!
39:00Yay!
39:01Woohoo!
39:06Alright, well, it's not over here
39:08I usually have a lot of blow molds down this way
39:10It's not there
39:11There's stuff up there, I know
39:12Sometimes they're on the top
39:13There's a store in a town over from us
39:16It's a place I go to often to buy a lot of the blow molds
39:20So I'm excited to see if they really have it
39:26Nope
39:27Nope
39:28Nope
39:29Nothing up there
39:30That's the same sound that you have
39:32Nope
39:33There either
39:34Nope
39:35Nope
39:36Nope
39:37Nope
39:38Nope
39:39Nope
39:40Oh my god, there it is
39:41Yay!
39:43Yay!
39:44I can't believe we found it
39:50I'm so excited
39:53Finding the piece is like almost indescribable
39:56Alright, wait, we gotta take a selfie with it
39:58Alright, alright, alright
39:59Let me get in there
40:00I gotta post it, so
40:01Are you gonna turn this way maybe?
40:02I don't know
40:05I think that's the reason that you keep hunting
40:07And you keep trying to find the pieces
40:10And go after all of these things
40:13Is because you're always chasing that feeling
40:15It's almost like that bragging rights
40:16Of saying like, I got it
40:18Like, I was able to pull it off
40:20Of course you do
40:22It looks in good shape
40:23It's in really good shape
40:24Yeah, it's perfect
40:25Yeah
40:26It's perfect
40:27Alright, unfortunately I have to pay for it

41:59He is wearing designer boots, a designer hat
42:03And look at the back of him, look how gorgeous that is
42:05Bill, make sure you get the detail, okay?
42:07Perfect, yes, I'm zooming in

42:11He is absolutely spectacular
42:13I'm ecstatic over the design of the new Santa
42:16It fits into the space perfectly
42:18Look at Santa's sack
42:19It's an old beaded purse
42:21And it's filled with antique and vintage jewels and components
