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. All episodes now available on iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts

The ZM Podcast Network Mr Sandbags Welcome to the after party everybody We are limping towards the finish line this week. We really are, aren't we? We are hanging on by a thread. Just. Just tired.

More. I think we had more taken out of us from the movie marathon than we realized. Yeah. It's been a slog, but a good slog and a fun slog. I turned down tickets to the Warriors this weekend because I know that I need a quiet weekend. And I know if I go to the Warriors, I'll have six to nine beers. It's true. 69 beers.

69, that's right. You heard correct. 629 beers. You've got to drink 69 beers upside down. 6,000 non-beers, 69 beers. 69 beers. That's a lot. 69 beers.

I can't believe he's going to drink 69 beers Alright, alright, alright After a long day down on the railroad girls We love to drink 69 beers We also asked Bree's million or billion question on the radio today If you missed it earlier in the week Bree asked on the after party Would you rather a guaranteed million dollars

or flip a coin for a billion dollars? I thought that was going to be a remix, eh? I'm rapidly running out of juice. No, you're good. What did they say? People said the difference, this is really interesting, and Ella, this speaks to what you said,

the difference between a million and a billion is the same ratio as 10 cents versus $100. Would you rather have 10 cents or flip a coin and maybe win $100? Well, that's what we said, remember? Yeah, but it's not 10 cents. It's a million dollars. People keep understating how much a million dollars is. Obviously, a million is a lot.

Someone said, is a billion no strings attached? Yes, it is. A million's a lot, but it's not going to... Imagine you said, yep, I'm going to flip a coin, and then you don't get your... I'm taking the chance. You don't get your billion, and then you're like, shit, I actually also just said no to a million dollars.

Here's the thing. Here's the thing. If you just took the million, you would never know the outcome of the flip, which could be good. That will eat away at you. It could also eat away at you. Yeah.

But I think I... The what could have been would eat away at you yeah but I think I the what could have been would eat away at you if you take the flip you will definitely know I would feel so distraught if I said I want to flip the coin

and then I didn't get it and then I left with nothing you can I would be like I could have got my million oh my lord you can make a million dollars though in your life

I will never you will I'd be okay with missing out on a million cause like you will never make a billion dollars I'd be okay with missing out on a million. You will never make a billion dollars. I don't have a million now. What a loser. And I'm happy. You don't even have a million dollars?

Not even one? Do you want one of mine? Not even in your Kiwi sale? God, I wish I had a million. If you had a million dollars what would you do? Pay off my mortgage. Yeah, same. Boring. And then what? It's not boring Because then I had money To do all the fun things

Like eat Can you imagine If you had no mortgage Or the same thing No rent And every time You got paid That money was just yours

You know Because at the moment For me When we get paid I think two thirds Of it goes on Our mortgage Sheesh

Yeah Imagine if you just Had that So much of my pay Goes on our mortgage. Sheesh. Yeah. Imagine if you just had that. So much of my pay goes on my mortgage. I'd be so hot. Same. I'd have such good clothes. Great clothes, great hair all the time.

I'd have such a clean house because I'd have a cleaner and a gardener. I'd be so happy. I'm so poor that I literally went shopping today for some costume things and they asked me if I wanted to sign up and have to download an app make an account and then i'd get like a 10 discount and i was like yep give me 10 minutes and then i sat there for 10 minutes trying to do it and i was like oh but you know what every dollar counts every dollar counts i did that thing where like you can collect points if you sign up,

but to collect points, you have to follow them on every single social media. And I was like, yep, I'll do that. I need the points. I need the points. And then I got a $20 voucher. And then I'm like, I'll go and unfollow them on every account now. That's dedication. In good news, because I'm a late 30s punisher with a mortgage.

Late 30s? Sorry. I now watch things like the RBNZ updates and the official cash rate and the predictions of what the interest rate is doing. Good news, everybody. They're predicting interest rates will start coming down in September next year. Hooray.

I thought it was this year. They've pushed it out. I don't get it because it's all made up. It's all made up. It's just all made up. Just bring it down. It's kind of like the weather. What? No, the weather is not made up. It's all made up. It's just all made up. Just bring it down. It's kind of like the weather. What? No, the weather's not made up.

No. Some of it. Are you talking about climate change? Because that's made up. No, them predicting the weather. Some of it. No, so the weather's not made up. But that's science, babe. But forecasts.

Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah. Some of where they're forecasting the weather is made up, where they're just kind of guessing. Some of it's science, though. Yeah, but it's speaking to something that actually will happen. What Claudia's saying is the world's entire monetary system is made up. It's been created.

Get rid of it. By us. We made it up. Can we just fix it? Yeah, we're bloody idiots. They have talked in the States about, it's called forgiving student debt. So it's in the trillions, the amount students owe in the States

to the government. And they've talked about just erasing it. Please. Just going, hey, should we just cancel that debt? And they can do that if they wanted to. Just do it. But they're worried about what it would do. It's all made up.

What would it do? Yeah, what would it do? Well, it would inject a lot of money into the economy, which could drive inflation up, which could drive the price of everything up. I'd be so pissed off if I was someone who just paid off my student debt. That's what they're also worried about. I'd be raging.

Yeah. I'd be so angry. Where's mine? What about me? So that whole generation, those people. What about me? Yeah, that's what holds everybody back. Yeah, that whole generation would have a massive leg up in life, wouldn't they?

Keen. That'd be so cool. Yeah, and that would be why they would do it, to give them a leg up. I read a thing a long time ago where it talked about how, and this was in Australia, and I mean New Zealand's very similar um where they say like especially millennials you were way better off all the millennials that went straight into the workforce and got jobs rather than went to uni are so much further ahead of all those people that went to uni, like now, because they obviously- No debt.

No debt, were able to buy a house earlier and all this kind of stuff, and they reckon that we will never catch up to them. Right. Unless, obviously, there's like, you know- Unless they're doing drugs. There's exceptions to the rule, but they reckon- Yeah, if you spend some time studying to be a doctor or something. They reckon we're like 20 years behind them now.

Which is why you need to start saving and investing today. Just make your money work harder. I was supposed to say this is not financial advice. We're not qualified to give out financial advice. Definitely not. Yada, yada, yada, yada. I don't even know where my KiwiSaver is. For our full PDS, contact Claudia at ZDMOnline.com.
