0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Get your hands together and we're gonna start to part

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready to party.

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 2>The elvist Ran after party.

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 3>You're all ready for a podcasting?

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? All right.

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 3>I did something I didn't think I would ever do.

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 5>I became a smuggler over the weekend.

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 6>I don't even want to know.

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 3>So did you notice Scotti b laughing and clapping.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>You?

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 5>Would you care to explain how this smuggling came to be.

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 5>I think I'm pretty sure I broke the law, and

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 5>you are now breaking the law.

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if ether one of us actually did,

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 4>but I just looked it up, so go ahead. Okay,

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 4>So the environmentalists are gonna yell at me, but I

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 4>I prefer a styrofoam coffee cup because I've been using

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.479
<v Speaker 4>them for years.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 7>And I hate you already.

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.039
<v Speaker 4>I'm crazy the way that I'm regimented. And when I

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 4>use that cup, I know exactly where I can start

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 4>drinking my coffee on my way to work because it's

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 4>the perfect temperature and whatever.

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 7>You're a scumbag. Wait, do they make cyropham cups anymore?

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Yes, that's where this is heading. Okay, So I order

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 4>cases of a thousand of them, and they last me

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 4>like two or three years. And in between the time

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 4>I ordered the last case and the time that I

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 4>ran out, they were outlawed in New York.

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:35.559
<v Speaker 7>And New Jersey, as they should because they're terrible.

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 4>That's cool. So it's a lot of things. Oh that

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 4>is getting terrible, that's great. Well my kids will have

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 4>to deal with it. I don't give a crap.

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 5>So anyway, worst fathering moment I've ever heard come from you,

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 5>and I've heard.

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 4>Some bad ones, but go on. Anyway, it's convenient for me,

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 4>so I don't care.

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 6>All right.

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 4>So anyway, I went on Amazon and it's like, sorry,

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 4>can no longer be shipped to your area. I'm like,

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 4>what the hell? Then I tried your house, Danielle and

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 4>Jersey thing. I don't want to get your startpuck cups.

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 4>People know it's coming to my.

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 3>House, participated in smuggling, and then we keep going.

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 4>So then I was like, oh, wait a minute, Nate's

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 4>parents live in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania doesn't care. So I went

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 4>on and Amazon's like, sure, you could send it to Pennsylvania.

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 3>My god.

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 4>So I asked Nate. I'm like, hey, when's the next

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 4>time you're gonna be in Pennsylvania because I want these cups.

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 4>He's like, I want to be there this weekend. I'm like, cool,

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 4>can I send them to your parents? And he's like, yep,

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 4>I'll bring them in for you. So I ordered them

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 4>to his parents' house that were delivered everything. And this

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 4>morning Nate's like, hey, man, I got the cups. Im downstairs.

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 4>I was all right, cool, so I ran down, I

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 4>grabbed him, I put him in my truck and here

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 4>we are. Now I got coffee for three.

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 7>Years, Yes, smuggler, here we are.

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 3>And I looked it up.

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 5>They've been outlawed in banned, which I don't even know

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 5>if we can be in possession of them.

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 2>So you love to see Scott get dragged out of

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>his home over these cups like a drag.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 4>To get pulled over on the l ice.

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 2>So good.

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Is that a possibility that you could get arrested for

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>having them?

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Fine?

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 4>No, because they still exist, they're still made, and they're

0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 4>still legal in a lot of the country.

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And I don't know having one cup, it'd be like, okay,

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 5>you got a dime bag on you. Yeah, I was

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 5>essentially trafficking styrofoam. And I will tell you. This box

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 5>was enormous. When I got to my parents' house, we

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 5>I couldn't even go in the front door because the

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:16.639
<v Speaker 5>box was so big.

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 3>It was the size of a casket.

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 7>Nay, you realize you're an accomplishment.

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 3>I know I am.

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 7>And technically you're gonna do the time, not him.

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 4>Because because.

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 7>Are you on the state line.

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.079
<v Speaker 4>Well here's the thing. Look, they're not for purchase in

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 4>New York and New Jersey.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 3>Are you gonna do a little black market styrofoam cups?

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 4>I'll go downstairs and sell sleeves of them. I don't care. No,

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 4>But I think I think that there. I think that

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 4>food service places are still allowed to use the takeout containers.

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 4>I think could still be styrofoam, but for whatever reason, no,

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 4>no more cups allowed.

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Cups. Okay. It's amazing to me.

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 8>Like when when I was in Florida in Jacksonville and

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 8>I'm in a store and they're bagging stuff in plastic bags.

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, what is happening? The same thing.

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, They're like, oh, it's fine here, but what Okay,

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 4>But here's the thing. You can still buy them in

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 4>New York. Like the shop right that I go to

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 4>they sell cases of them, but there are not a

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 4>lot of bad groceries in them. So I buy cases

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 4>and then I bag my own groceries in plastic bags.

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 4>I will not change.

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 7>Wait, I didn't know that you can buy because.

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 4>You could buy them a costco too.

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 3>Cases.

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 5>It seems to be Scott's motto written across his forehead,

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:25.480
<v Speaker 5>like he's been thinking about a tattoo.

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 7>It should be I will not change.

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 4>That's right, and belligerently, I'm stuck in my ways.

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 7>Say this and find a way to continue. I don't

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 7>want it.

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 8>I don't want to appear to be defending Scottie because

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.159
<v Speaker 8>I am all. Also, let's be clear, I am for

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 8>the outlawing of styrofoam, but I will say this. They

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 8>the drink does taste different in styrofoam containers, then it

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 8>doesn't plastic.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it does taste.

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 4>Taste the best in a glass. Or can't put hot

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 4>coffee in a glass?

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 3>You can put hot coffee in a thermos.

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 4>Drive the car with a glass, you have to speed.

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 4>I also, I also have a glove compartment full of

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 4>plastic straws for those damn restaurants, and only a paper.

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 3>Guess you're not going to change, Garrett.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 4>Let me get you up to speed.

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.720
<v Speaker 5>I participated in smuggling Scotty's how many thousands, one thousand,

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 5>one thousand styrofoam cups?

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 6>Oh, you're smuggling for Scotty too. I'm smuggling for Scotty

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 6>as well.

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Scotty.

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 4>Hey, wait, what.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 6>So so Scotty wants to save on taxes?

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 4>Come on, dude, now, I'll go to jail.

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 6>So he ships things to my house.

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 4>You use all your Jersey people, I.

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 7>Ship some to you.

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 6>When did he call?

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 3>When did.

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 6>You want to know?

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 4>Why?

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Because he felt guilty of the amount of packages he

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>sent it to my house over the last two weeks.

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I got prom dresses sent to my house.

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Garrett had dozens of Amazon boxes on the.

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 6>Spot, no joke. Probably about fifteen bus carry.

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Half of that in.

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 6>And you know what, It makes me happy that.

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 5>Scott has not asked me to do this, because I

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 5>think he knows I would tell him off.

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 4>No, you live in an apartment building. I get nervous.

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 5>Okay, okay, how much money did you say sending stuff

0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 5>to Garrett and to Daniel?

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 4>Hundreds of dollars?

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 3>That much?

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>When he told me the price that it costs for

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>all these packages and the amount of money he was

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>saving us. Like, how can you say no, like the

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>state sales Yes, yeah.

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 4>Well because there's no tax on clothing or shoes in Jersey.

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh yes, zero?

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 3>True?

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:16.279
<v Speaker 6>Wait is this illegal?

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Like what we're doing right and we're admitting to like

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>like kind of why?

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 7>I just want to see dragging.

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Scotty.

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't know that we should be talking about this

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 4>at the time. That Hold on a second.

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 8>I'm a legal resident of the state of New Jersey,

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 8>and when I go shopping in New York at mall's,

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 8>I have This has happened quite a bit, that's right.

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 8>Rather than walking out of the store with the merch,

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 8>they were like, they tell me behind the counter, we

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 8>could just send it to your house and it's and

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 8>you don't get taxed. I'm like, great, idea, Now I

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 8>don't have shopping bags. I could walk out of here

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 8>and in two days.

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 3>You're a resident, so.

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 5>You're not doing anything wrong.

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 2>He's not a resident.

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 7>I've done this for Robin before years in Brooklyn.

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 6>You're now you're with Scotty. You and Scotty control.

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:09.280
<v Speaker 7>Gift. Technically, Robin lives with you, so sure that.

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't know.

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 5>It's such a great area because you can have it

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 5>sent anywhere.

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 5>In fact, I think Pennsylvania's tax is cheaper and there

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 5>is no tax on clothing. So you're gonna start sending

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 5>stuff in my parents' house to Scotty.

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 7>What else is leanient in Pennsylvania that's not in New York.

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 5>Journastic bags everywhere, fireworks works.

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 4>I think fireworks are legal here now too, not like

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 4>they are in Pennsylvania. Yeah, but not you can't buy

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 4>an M. E. D And shop right, you can buy

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 4>maybe a bottle rocket with your birthday cake.

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 6>Scotty.

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Remember when we went to go get fireworks one year

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and we had to be very careful that the police

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>would pull us over.

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes, because a lot of times when you go to

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 4>the ones that are right over the border in Pennsylvania,

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 4>like the police will wait in the park and they

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 4>watched the people with New York and New Jersey plates

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 4>and they pull them over.

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I felt like we were like running from the law.

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 1>After we got out of the fireworks store that one time,

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>they were like, all right, keep a lookout over your

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>shoulder if you see anybody.

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 4>I get nervous for that stuff. I wouldn't be nervous

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 4>for style from cups, but fireworks.

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 7>I would like to say.

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 5>You're scamming the system, but I think you're just outsmarting

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 5>the system.

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 4>Look, I'm just getting what I need and I gotta

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 4>get it however I need to.

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 6>You know, you only bring in the ky.

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 4>That's very heavily taxed in New York. So yeah, are

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:42.839
<v Speaker 4>you serious?

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 2>All after party
