Chapter 1: What is crime scene cleaning?
is where somebody who has drank most of their life gets varicose veins on their esophagus and eventually these varicose veins depending on your heartburn or what you eat will burst and there's nothing you can do you're gonna bleed out and every single time we do this there's bloody handprints on the bathroom sink like this

Chapter 2: What happens to a body after death?
No problem, no problem.
Yeah, so the largest crime scene company in Cali, Vegas, and Arizona, right?
Chapter 3: How do gruesome scenes affect mental health?
Yeah, number one in California, number one in Vegas, number one in Arizona, and I think like number four in Texas.
Damn, that's impressive that you're able to do that many markets at the same time.
Yeah, yeah.
Because obviously you're stuck in one location, right?
Yeah, mostly the California, but we do fly and go to other spots to get them going. They're not franchised. They're just ours.

Chapter 4: What unique challenges do crime scene cleaners face?
How long did it take to build this thing up?
Man, 2010, I believe we started. Okay. So it's been a while.
15 years. Did it take off right away?
No, no. You know... I mean, I kind of faked it till I made it, you know? I think everybody does that. And you do your first one and you bill it and you think, oh man, this is, there's no way this is going to happen or this. And then, you know, you get your first one and then your second one comes and then it's always, man, you know, I hope to do one a month.
And then it goes from, man, I hope to do one every other week, you know? And then it just, now it's every day something is happening.
Damn, so you have one a day right now?
That's about average. Holy crap. But remember, there's more than just a homicide or a suicide. There's people that die natural causes, people that die of natural causes in... In public areas, right? Homeless encampments. There's stillborn where there could be just blood everywhere. There's car accidents. I mean, there's just so many things that can happen. Yeah.
When I say I clean homicides and suicides, everybody thinks, oh, but they forget about the natural deaths that happen too or the decomp's that happen, you know, where there's an older person who doesn't have family member that checks on them or they don't check on them as much as they... Should check on them.
And then next thing you know, they've been deceased for two weeks and there's a smell coming out. And the neighbors are like, what's that smell? Why are there flies everywhere?

Chapter 5: What are the financial aspects of crime scene cleanup?
Chapter 6: How do crime scene cleaners deal with emotional trauma?
What you see is death. It's not like we see a good story. A good story for us is one person lived and just a few other died, right? Or one died and few other lived, but there's always going to be a death with us. It's very rare that we do get these suicides where somebody will shoot themselves under the neck and blow the front of their face off and they'll live. But not for long.
I mean, eventually, that just adds to the problems for them. And then they end up killing themselves in another way.
Jeez. Yeah. I'm sure you've seen some really gruesome scenes.
Really gruesome.
Man. What's the one that freaked you out the most?
I think that's, I mean, there's so many, but I think one of the ones that we ever did was we were training in Texas and this guy had been up on methamphetamines for a long time and he cut his mother from her neck down to the top of her vagina and Oh my God. And then took like tree cutters and cut her rib cage open. What? And then was eating her liver while he masturbated.
What? Yeah. That's insane.
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh my God.

Chapter 7: Why do women excel in crime scene cleaning?
You know, they like all that crime novel and... Oh, they love that stuff.

I mean, I live it. So like, I don't really, it's not like I watch it, but I, um, I mean, you just see a lot of death, man. Yeah. The death is just so, yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy.
Have you ever cleaned up after a serial killer spree or something?
Um, yes. Multiple times. Multiple times. Yeah. There's, um, yeah, there was a guy that was cutting people up. From what we understand, he was cutting them up and serving them in like a taco cart.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
That's insane. That was in Cali?
Yeah, parked on the side of the road and serving these up. And people were getting sick and going to the hospital and just fucking throwing up. Holy crap. And they test the meat and it's human meat. And they're like... And it's multiple people, not just one. And it's all in one area. And then apparently he goes to another area. And so they've labeled him definitely a serial killer. That's insane.
