I was like, why haven't I been cleaning homes this whole time? What the fuck was I doing? I'm like, what was I doing? And then we just kept like working on it, working on it. The first year, her and I cleaning together, 40 to 70, 80 hours a week. God knows how much. We were up and down New Jersey, New York. I'd clean anything. You had roaches. I didn't care. You had an apartment.
You had, we did crime scene cleaning. I didn't even do it properly. Like I went and cleaned up. With no, like, PPE. I only charged, like, 300 bucks. Someone got shot in Hoboken and died, and I went and cleaned $300. Now I know I could have gotten, like, three grand.
