services for holiday cleaning on task Rabbit jump up about
twenty six percent this time of year.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Literally, you're ready for holidays.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Guess And why because if people are coming over, you
want your house to look good, so you have somebody
come clean the space while you're buzy wrapping presents or
cooking or working.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I don't know, Billy, I don't.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Get is if you hire people to come this one
time a year, how come you don't want your house
clean the rest of the time of the year.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
That's a very valid coming over. Yeah right, you can
live in filth as long as nobody sees it.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
What are some other to holiday side hustles that you
can get if you want to make some extra cash.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Hanging holiday lights is a big one. Oh yeah, I
want to do that one.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
My dad uses that feature because he can't climb on
the roof anymore. I called it a feature, But there's
this guy in the neighborhood who's so sweet and he
just climbs everybody's like roofs and hooks them all up.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Because it's a bunch older for like sixty plus.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Oh no, oh okay, I was gonna say, yeah, yeah,
you gotta.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Be careful with that one.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Also, running holiday errands is another way that you can
make extra cash, from delivering Christmas trees to a house
to heading to the store to buy new toys before
they get sold out. Another way that you can make
extra cash.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Okay, I thought about Oh, I.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Thought about ordering that, so I don't have to go
do it just booking flies will and trust me out.
So I don't like going to the stores where there
are a lot of people, like Costco. This weekend was
crazy and I can't imagine like the toy stores or
like my nieces or not Nuss, but like little Cousins,
how packed they are and everyone's just running around and
those moms are like, yeah, punch someone if you can
get the toy that they want.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
To think about it. It could be very therapeutic.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
If you want to fight, but you don't want to
get in trouble kind of fight, just go to a
toy store and like bump somebody and be like, oh
my bad, I wanted that to go me home.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Also, waiting in line is another holiday side house, so
that you can get somebody will hire you to wait
in line for them when a product comes out, or
to wait at a toy store to buy that perfect
toy that you've been wanting to get somebody for Christmas
while standing and waiting in line making cash.

so easy, but I've he's done it for that one.
But I don't know.

You just tell people advertise I will stand in line
for you. What about would you stand in line for
a Black Friday? I mean, yeah, if you're gonna pay me.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
The stores are so crazy for elbowing everywhere.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
It's worth it if you're getting paid. Really, yeah, you wouldn't.
I don't know. I've never been to a Black Friday.
I've only seen videos and my parents don't let me go. Yeah, no,
it's your smart.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
I've been to one Black Friday in my life, and
I feared for my life.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
It was to get a TV. Are you seeing me? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I swear I got elbow checked by this old lady.
I was like, did she sharpen her elbows before she
got in here?
