OCD Doswell resident and amateur astronomer Malcolm Wiggins has appeared in a taped segment of the A&E reality show Intervention to address his addiction to the A&E show Hoarders.
“WE had to step in and save him,” said his daughter-in-law Martha Wiggins, “He was TIVOing episodes of Hoarders, then spending all day in the house, with the shades drawn, watching the episodes over and over.” Wiggins reportedly lost all interest in astronomy and in his job at the Doswell Rock Quarry, where he alternated running the pulverizer and stocking shelves in the Quarry gift shop.
“He watches Hoarders about 14 hours a day,” says wife Andrea, “He says his favorite episode is that one about the adult diapers, but I don’t want to know any details. I have my own hobby to deal with, I can’t be so worried about his.”
Andrea claims her hobby is taking Vicodin.
“I don’t have an addiction, I have a hobby,” stated Wiggins when confronted by this reporter about the intervention requested by his family. “A hobby is not an addiction unless you’re trying to quit, and I’m not trying to quit watching Hoarders, so it still falls under the category ‘hobby’. So screw all of you.”
There is no word yet on when the episode featuring Wiggins will be telecast.
