@@chrispap4957 Back then rent in NYC was more reasonable. I'd guess that Kramer's apartment was about $1200 / month. This is going by rent prices in mid 90's San Francisco which was comparable to Ny

They always manage to fuck them up. i liked the one when they scheme to get off a parking ticket by saying Newman sped to prevent Kramer committing suicide because he never got to be a banker lol.
Green Whovian But he lets Kramer be there all the time alone. I like to think he trusts Kramer so much that he can even let an enemy be inside because his buddy will look after him.
He isn't confortable with the idea of any of the two staying there alone, that's why Jerry says "keep an eye on each other" which was supposed to be a sarcastic joke, but they didn't get it
In one behind the scenes dvd interview I forget which, Michael Richards admitted that he used to protest Larry and Jerry and the other writers giving Newman more space and time as a character. He liked Wayne Knight, but hated the idea of Newman becoming basically a fifth main cast member, and either taking time away from him, or having to share time with Wayne Knight more than he was already
I saw that interview.it wasn't that he didn't want Wayne knight to have more screen time,he just wanted him to either be doing his own thing or be more involved in the group as a whole...he didn't want (Kramer and Newman) to become a partnership! Which is basically what wound up happening!
I love how Kramer has so little going on in his life that he can spend a day dumpster diving and stealing cans from homeless people and then another 2 days driving 1400 miles round trip just to make $500.
Well newman was on official duty so he was already being paid to work those days and the truck fuel costs were covered because he was delivering mail, so it really was an ingenious idea
That’s nothing, my postman be dropping off my next door mail at my mailbox for years. I guess the USPS doesn’t require their personnel to passed a reading test!
JF Yeah, a mailman should know them, but doesn’t pretty much everybody? Most of them are pretty intuitive, and the ones that aren’t are so strange that they’re difficult to forget.
Give Wayne his flowers while he's still here. He is one of many amazing character actors. They usually don't get the recognition they deserve. In my opinion, they often outshine the leads in the shows and films they do.
One of the best episodes in the entire series. Kramer and Newman driving bottles and cans up to Michigan Elaine was bidding at an auction on JFK's golf clubs for J Peterman and then left the clubs in Jerry's car that got stolen by an over zealous auto mechanic, Meanwhile George is given an project by Mr Wilhelm in which he has no idea what it's about and end up being committed by George Steinbrenner. The writers on this episode outdid themselves.
Actually this is my least favorite episode. Unsatisfying af and The mechanic story sucks ass and is really coincidental. My favorite scenes are the bottle montage and jerry investigating the broken car but the rest is just fodder.
All Kramer's schemes fail though, he's good at appearing smart though. He probably would have done well in the business world. Of course that would require a little ambition/hard work, which isn't Kramer's forte, lol.
When I was in Jr High, my friends and I would collect bottles from construction sites around our apartment. We turn them in and make enough for cokes and ice creams. Happy Times. 😊
They have a special mark on them now so that only sodas actually sold in Michigan will generate the deposit. There are a few exceptions. All Faygo soda is bottled in Detroit, Michigan and all cans/bottles have the return mark for Michigan, as do most Coke products sold in Western Ohio and Northern Indiana. If the automatic machine at the store wont take the bottles, return them to a gas station. They don't use the machines, they just give you the change for the number of cans. Most only take a few cans at s time though. I live in Ohio but lived part time in Michigan for three years. Also can make a killing picking cans and bottles up at car washes and on college campuses, especially the U of M tailgate lot. Most of the time they can't be bothered to return them for the deposit. I'd easily have an extra 40-50 dollars in an hour after a home game.
I don't think this is actually true. I mean they may have some kind of a mark but the only thing the machines do is scan the bar code. I've ordered pop online from other states and it shipped to me from West Virginia and New Jersey. I had no problem at all returning the bottles or cans in Michigan.
@@fiftyfuckingfeet I grew up in Michigan and bartend in Pittsburgh now. I sometimes fill my car with returnable when I visit my parents. Machines do reject barcodes from out of state bottling plants, unless it is the only one and it will say MI 10c. I just bring all the Rolling Rock bottles because they always work. Pays for the trip.
You know, this sounds like some stupid shit that you’d only want to do if you were literally homeless, but I guess in the right situation you’d be making tons of money in an hour or two. Still, picking up 500 cans doesn’t sound like my idea of fun
One of my favourite lines from the show “well what’d ya think the hobos are doing?” “I dunno, they’re deranged”😂 like he just thinks they collect them for no reason😅
Judging by what Newman says about borrowing the truck and having to do a Mother's Day run I don't think they have more than a day in MI so they would't be able to get as much. Plus most cities in MI aren't nearly as big as NYC, they know their own city better and could be more efficient there. But who knows, maybe if that were their original plan they wouldn't of had to throw them out of the back for more speed.
Even though it's done in a funny way, it's nice touch that Newman would pause to think "Aw, Mother's Day." He's such an over-the-top character, it's kind of a humanizing moment even if the picture is a gag.
If anyone wants to know the name of the song, it's called Scenes from the Twenties (B) by Sam Fonteyn, it's not on RUclips as far as I know but I was able to download it through a Samsung MP3 app so maybe that'll help some of you who have Samsung.
It's Tony Abato's fault. He pulled a "Mary Beth Whitehead" with Jerry's car and they encountered it on the highway and started chasing it, on Jerry and Elaine's orders.
Carlos Garza You are probably right about it, but those look like sparkling waters, which are meant to be enjoyed. It doesn’t look like he is enjoying it. It is just a show, and I probably thought about it too much.
The Bottle Deposit is probably my favorite Two-Parter of the entire series. Newman and Kramer are brilliant in these episodes. My favorite scene has to be when Newman steals the cart of cans from the homeless guy.
At "$500 a man", in 1996, that would mean in 2020 they would get $838.59. The minimum wage in NY state in 1996 was $4.25. So that works out to roughly a month (24 days) of wages for minimum wage jobs in NYC. For Newman, as a US Postal worker in 1996, $500 is about four days salary. About the only thing that this scheme has going for it (apart from being hilarious) is that it's all cash so the IRS doesn't get their grubby paws on the profits.
I'd do the same for MyCokeRewards, I'd keep the caps to get the codes. At parties, I'd rip the codes off the 12-packs (which gave more points). When I built up enough points I'd empty them out on GameStop gift cards. Got myself a couple of free games. Then MyCokeRewards changed their system to more of a sweepstakes system, rather than enter codes and build up points. :(
The fact that Newman's weight would have prevented them from reaching their goal anyway, blowing their margin on gas, makes this show that much more brilliant.
Remember around this first aired in Oz me & my mates actually took back Coca Cola etc crates which got back then I think £5 ! 5 crates @ 2am in the morning returned to Fresh Provisions 24 hour convenience store got Us some food or more drinks etc Ha ha brought back good memories watching this
FYI The way this works: When you buy marked items you pay an extra 10 cents (buy 2 liter Pepsi $1 plus 10cents) and get that 10 cents refunded. The bottles/cans have to be marked with MI 10c. You will not get a refund if it is from out of state. Not all cans and bottles are elegible-ie., Faygo products
Costs of labor are a given for an employer, no matter where you work in the store, bottle room or otherwise. On the plus side the grocer gets 25% of any unredeemed deposits.
Randall Reiter I also live in the Great State of Michigan. Those bottles return machine basically run themselves. It takes a worker 20 seconds to swap out the bins. Also, I care about our planet and take pride in recycling and reducing litter.
These were different times my friend. No cell phones and such. If you wanted to see your friend you'd just walk over to their house unannounced. Good friends had keys and could hang out in each other's places
Glass pop bottles all had deposits when I was young kid, .02 cents for 16oz and .05 cents for quart bottles. I used to pull my wagon down alleys and make enough to buy a weeks supply of candy at the drug store plus ice cream at Tastee Freeze. By the time I was 12 it was washing dishes at the corner restaurant and mowing neighbor's lawns after school and on weekends making good money. Most kids today don't want to work.
Fun fact: An interest in Recycling surged in the months following this episode

Am I the only person that would never let friends just randomly hang out at my place when I'm not home?
No. I wouldn't either. Just too freaking weird.
These were different times my friend. No cell phones and such. If you wanted to see your friend you'd just walk over to their house unannounced. Good friends had keys and could hang out in each other's places
Kramer : it drove me crazy
Us the audience : so you weren't crazy before? 😂
I wish I can be like Kramer, doesn't have a job but always feel happy
Newman's mom looks exactly like Newman.
Is that actually wayne knights mom?
Gosh what a great show
Glass pop bottles all had deposits when I was young kid, .02 cents for 16oz and .05 cents for quart bottles. I used to pull my wagon down alleys and make enough to buy a weeks supply of candy at the drug store plus ice cream at Tastee Freeze. By the time I was 12 it was washing dishes at the corner restaurant and mowing neighbor's lawns after school and on weekends making good money. Most kids today don't want to work.
This reminds me of people that play pulltabs every night, win 40 bucks and think they're ahead. lol!!!
That’d be funny if he had a Jurassic Park vhs behind the picture.
I dont know which episode, but there is one where you can see a dinosaur poster in his apartment
$500 in 1996 is equivalent to $800 in 2018. That's an awesome paycheck for a weekend project.
Is Newman Jerry's enemy or not. Just hangs out at his apartment 😅
"WELL I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, MAN!!!"
LOL, 0:31 Newman is a mailman and he didn't know what state "MI" stands for!
They missed the perfect opportunity to put that Sheena Easton song over the montage.
I love that Kramer knows all about the reflecting bottles
