For a few years, in the 1970s, the Mr Asia syndicate made millions. Heroin creates its own market. It acts like a form of play. Until jealousy, betrayal and murder brought it all crashing down. Then he just pulled out a gun, shot her in the back of the head, and then said to Wayne, you're going to help me bury her. This is Mr Asia, A Forgotten History.

The ZM Podcast Network. Hi everybody and welcome to the Brian Clint Podcast where... Man down! Man down! Ella. Ella. Is out sick. Ella's down.

She was sick as a dog yesterday. Yeah she was. She probably should have been. She was so depressed. Yeah. She's putting on her big girl pants though because Claudia's not here. Yeah bless her. And she's doing such a good job.

She is. But she's putting a lot of pressure on herself. Yeah. And so she's like, hey guys. I know, bless her. Need to come to work. Must come to work. She was like, I was like, Ella, if you need the day off tomorrow,

please just take it. She's like, no, I just, I don't want to leave it. I'm like, Ella, it's okay. Remember, I did produce the show for a few years, so I'm fine. Please don't worry about me. She's like, okay. But you could just tell she was so reluctant. Bless her little heart.

She's doing a great job. Yeah, she is. She's doing a great job. She's like, okay. But you could just tell she was so reluctant. Bless her little heart. She's doing a great job. Yeah, she is. She's doing a great job. She really is. Finally, we've drilled into her that millennial work ethic. Yeah, nice. I thought you meant finally she's doing a good job. Oh, no. God, no.

She has been doing an amazing job because she has been doing different things. But, no, she always does an amazing job. Yeah, she does. But finally, I feel like we've drilled in a bit of that. How wild that we still get 10 sick days a year. Remember they brought that in during COVID so that people would take their sick days and not come to work and spread COVID. But now that COVID is, I'm going to say it, over, we still get 10 days.

How fucking good. I don't know. Of all the places they're looking to save money at the moment you'd think they'd go all right we're gonna move that back to five days i must have a shit ton of days built up they only build up i never take them i think they only build up to 10 oh yeah yeah yeah they renew at the end like and then yeah well they used to when you get when you got five a year, they would build up to 10, and then you couldn't accrue any more than that.

Right. But now that you have 10, I think you just get your 10, yeah. Which is kind of bullshit. She says, eating a mouthful of chips. It's kind of bullshit when you think about it. I feel like the people who don't use their sick days all the time should be rewarded. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? For being healthy. No. Well, yeah. I know what you mean. I know what you mean. You could get some kind of, at the end of the year, if you don't use any of your sick days.

You get a bonus. You get one of your days paid out. You know? Yeah. A little paid out bonus. Yeah, look. Great idea. I'm happy for your days paid out. You know? Yeah. A little paid out bonus. Yeah, look, great idea. I'm happy for you to float it up the chain. Yeah, I'm sure that'll fly.

Yeah, and the current climate. I'm sure that'll be exactly what the company's looking to do. I reckon they'll love that idea. Because everybody's company will be. I don't even know why I'm asking. Everybody's company will just be. Like, I reckon your company has downgraded the quality of the instant coffee. Yeah.

They took away our tissues years ago. Oh, yeah. That was a weird one, that one. Oh, I think I was here for that, actually. I was ropeable about it. We're lucky to have these jobs still and to be in a business that is doing well, essentially. Blah, blah, blah. Let's complain.

But no, I'm saying saying everybody everywhere would be experiencing oh budget cuts we should talk about that we should talk about that tomorrow what's the budget cut in your workplace what's the budget cuts your workplace has done our workplace got got rid of individual bins oh yeah nah that's a weird let's go into detail that's a weird thing about this building. So this building has some kind of efficiency, environmental standard. It's also a little bit budget. No, yeah, but part of it is they're only allowed

to have X amount of bins because they think less bins means people will generate less waste. Nah, we we just got nowhere to fucking put it it just means there's heaps of rubbish scattered around the office all the time yeah that's what it means but then since you took the tissues away there's less because so i know we're eating a whole large bag of chips a day at the moment no regrets speak for yourself you had a handful no I did have a handful, yeah. You're complicit. Yeah, why are you putting these near me? You know that I'll eat them.

I know. I have no self-control whatsoever. Are you shredding for Europe, by the way? No. No. You're sweet. I don't do that. Sweet.

No matter what I do, my body doesn't change. Hooray, hormone. Did you get some swimmers? Yeah, what's the update? I did. I did get some swimmers. I got sent some. Oh, now I need to remember.

I need to do a post for her, actually, because this lovely woman. Are you going to do a bikini photo? Fuck no. I'll do a post. I'll put it on over my clothes. The day I do a bikini photo will be the day that hell freezes over. I swear. No one wants to see that.

But, yeah, this lovely woman. Name your price. I don't think there is a price. There is. The price would be. Yeah. I know the price. The price would be get me a personal trainer for six months.

Yeah. And a chef to cook all my meals and then I would. Yeah. Yeah, fair enough. I'm getting a live phone call. Should we answer it on the podcast? Yeah. Hello, Clint speaking.

Hi, Clint. My name's Maya. I'm calling from Save the Children New Zealand. How are you today? Oh, I'm well, thank you. How are you? Yeah, good, thank you. I can see that you donated to our girls' accords

and I just wanted to say a massive thank you for supporting us. That's absolutely amazing. It's because of people like you that we have been able to help over 300 million children. My pleasure. Not a problem at all. Yeah, and the reason for my call today was just to give you an update about the work that we are doing in Gaza. Okay, so I'm just at work at the moment.

I might have to speak to you about a little bit later if that's okay. Yeah, that's all right. I mean, it was just going to be really, really quick, you know, just because even in the first 17 days, more than 2,000 children were killed. And I'm sure you can agree that. Oh, fuck. You got me there. Okay.

I have to pick it up with you later. Okay. Thank you. I appreciate it. No worries. Okay. Thank you. I appreciate it. No worries. Okay. All right. See ya.

Fuck. They're coming hot with the dead kids line, don't they? Yeah. Wow. Where do you mean to go from there? Oh, my gosh. Good on you, Clint. Good on you, Clint, though, for donating.

I feel like that was a setup. Yeah, did he? Is that Lucy on the phone? I feel like that was. I'm making you look good. How much did you donate? Fuck all that. $15. Hey, everything makes a difference, though. Good on you. No, making you look good. How much did you donate? Fuck all that, $15.

Hey, everything makes a difference though. But you know what? You know what? I want to donate to things and like be that good person. But then I also don't want to be hounded. It's hard to know who to donate to. I don't want to be hounded, you know? Like I want to donate, but I don't want to sign up for a monthly fee.

And this will sound bad. Do you know who the worst people to donate to are? Greenpeace. They never leave you alone. But that's why they're the best. I know. You know, because they will not let up. But Greenpeace, I'm like, if you spent half the money that you spent on your call centre

on Greenpeacing. But this is the problem as well with like those big, big charities. They're all volunteers. I don't know. You just don't know where your money's going. I know that sounds really – you don't though. We've gone from saving the children to – It's all a fucking scam.

No, it's not. It is not. It is 100% not. Like I supported that amazing charity, Sweet Louise, which is like a New Zealand charity, and I physically could see where the money was going. I know what they're doing for people. Whereas, like, I don't know where my money's going

if I donate to those huge, big charities. Yeah, the big business. I get it. Yeah. We're being distracted, though. What? From the main question. So we're giving you a personal trainer

For six months Oh yeah And a chef Yeah For six months Yeah And that's it And then I'll do it

Oh you don't need any money? Nah Okay Because I'd do it for myself Oh nice okay Yeah Lovely I don't give a shit about the money

I just want to do it To feel good about myself We could find you We could find you a personal trainer I'm not I'm not fucking jonesing To see a picture of you In a bikini or anything It sounds like I am Yeah fucking creep We could find you a personal trainer. I'm not fucking jonesing to see a picture of you in a bikini or anything.

It sounds like I am. Yeah, fucking creep. We could find you a personal trainer. Would you do that meal in a box thing? Got you like muscle chow or something like that? Maybe. Oh, there's a really good one that my friend gets that looks really tasty. Yeah.

I can't remember what that's called. Well, if anyone is keen for some brie bikini pics. Ew, gross. No one wants that. What if there's a real horny personal trainer out there who's also a chef and they're like

I want the pictures. I don't want them posted. I wanted them printed and posted in the mail to my house. I feel like I've missed my window, right, where I have had this thought where I'm like, I'd like to do, you know, like a bikini photo shoot once in my life. Like I don't think I've ever taken a photo in a bikini. That's just not like I don't.

And I had this thought the other day where I was like, Matt, I think I've missed my window. I think I've missed it. It's an interesting thought. You know? I think I'm too late. You and your partner could get some boudoir photography done. Fuck no.

Anyway. Have you seen that stuff? Makes me feel ill. You hire a private photographer to come into your house. Or you can do it in their studio. Oh, yeah. And you take like tasteful notes of you and your partner. And it's like an intimate photo album that you guys share.

Yuck, yuck, yuck. Disgusting. But the photographer does, like, good lighting and, yeah. Oh, that makes me feel sick. Interesting. It makes me feel so sick. The only one I'd be doing would be, like, you know, the cover of a fitness magazine or something.

Oh, you want to do a women's health magazine? Yeah, like a cool one, you know, where I'm like, this is what I used to look like, but I look like this now for probably two weeks, and then I'll look like that again. Yeah. The before photo. Anyway, long story short, yes, this lovely woman. Someone getting a text in 2003?

Yeah, what? That was so weird. That was weird. The Y2K bug. Anyway, sorry, I cut you off. This lovely woman who I need to do a post for her actually as well sent me some togs and she sent me a one-piece. Look, kind of goes up my clacker too much.

It shows too much cheek. So lovely, lovely. The one I find confronting is the side veg. The ones that are too narrow at the front and you get a bunch of side box. But she did send me a bikini, which actually fits me quite well. Oh, nice. So, yeah, I probably will wear that in Greece. Cool.

That'll be the one in the pics. That'll be the one in the pics. Yes. Probably not from behind because it still shows quite a bit of cheek. That's okay, though. All right, guys, we're going to get out of here. I've got a lot more charity support to support. Okay, mate. All right, mate. I'm expecting we're going to get out of here. I've got a lot more charity support to support. Okay mate.

Alright mate. I'm expecting a phone call back from that lady any minute. Hold on, sorry guys. I'm just going to take a phone call. I'll take it live. Hold on. Yes, hello. Yeah, hi. This is Cheryl from the SPCA. We just wanted to give you a call to see how you were going from looking after all of those

three-legged dogs that you adopted. Oh, that's so nice. Hey, I'm just at work. Bug off, Cheryl. I'm at work. I'm just at work. Can I give you a call back?

Yeah, that's fine. Also, thank you so much for donating $10,000 to help all those homeless cats. Wow, $10,000. That's okay. Hey, Cheryl, I've got to go. You've got to go. Okay. All right.
