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.

Claudia. What are the new flavour Pop-Tarts? Yeah. I had the s'mores one. How good is it? Did you have that in America or in New Zealand? Because I just got sent some in New Zealand Did you? I had to go all the way to America for them

I lived off Eggos actually They were delicious I've heard about these Eggos From Stranger Things Did you eat them because of Stranger Things? No, they just looked delicious I have a question What was the best thing you ate on your trip?

Weirdly You can't say your partner. Yeah. Oh, God. I don't want to answer this question anymore. You've made it weird. And now you have to say your partner. You've stolen my answer, so.

If you prefer egos over your partner. No, we ate a lot of Tex-Mex and all those sides of corn that you can get. I'm just, I'm in my corn era. It's just, oh. Corn is so underrated in my opinion. It's so good. The band. Yeah, with the cake.

What the fuck? A good cup of corn. They put all the yummies on top. It's just so good. You put the lime juice and the parmesan and the spices. The chili. And you mix it all up. It's so good.

You've never heard of that? Like a Mexican corn. Delightful. Did you, this is what happened to me when I went to Italy. Did you gain many kgs on your trip? I assume so. Yeah. I lost weight.

Did you? When I went to Italy. Did you get gastro or something? Nah. I lost weight because of how much I was walking every day. I've gained weight definitely in my calves, in the muscle tone that I've gained weight definitely in my calves In the muscle tone that I've gained When me and Lucy went on our honeymoon We did two or three weeks in Italy And then Paris and London at the end

And after our Italy stint As soon as we got to Paris We had to go to H&M and buy new jeans Because neither of us could fit our pants anymore That's a good trip That's love eh Yeah that's love Nice That's a good trip. Yeah, that's a success. That's love, eh? Yeah, that's love.

Nice. That's a solid trip. Okay, that's great. You were saying you spent less money than you thought you would on your trip? I would say marginally less, but also everything is so expensive. Like, you know when you go- For us. Yes. Yeah.

You know when you go to a rugby match- Yeah, it's because New Zealand money is like Monopoly money. That's true. When you go to a rugby game or any kind of stadium where they're selling drinks, what would you be paying for just like a beer? A normal beer. 10 bucks? In America,

18 American dollars. 35 New Zealand dollars. For just a beer. How big is it? Is it a plastic cup? Is it a bucket? No, it's just a normal bottle. So I had friends over here a couple of months. It's just a normal, like, a bottle. So I had friends over here a couple of months ago from the States. Wait, that's a bottle, like a normal beer bottle. Yep.

$18. $18. That's fine. They were talking about, because they'd come from New York to New Zealand, and they were, when we were out for dinner and stuff, they were like, stuff is so cheap here, it's half price. Because their money is worth so much. Whose money?

Americans. Americans' money. Their $10 buys $20 New Zealand dollars, so they feel like everything is half price because their money is worth so much. Whose money? Americans. Americans' money. Their $10 buys 20 New Zealand dollars, so they feel like everything is half price. Yeah. My view of money is so skewed now that I went to the dairy on the weekend because we have nothing at home and I bought bread, eggs, and milk, which for a dairy, it was $13, which should be, in my mind, expensive.

And I was like, oh, my God, deal. Bargain, yeah. It's so good. Amazing. What's the Greece? Oh, there'll be euro euro yeah what's the euro like at the moment 2.5 i think what does that mean 2.5 times new zealand times new zealand so our dollar is $10 uh what what what one of our dollars is 2.5 25 of our dollars buys 10 of their dollars. Oh. That's what I'm imagining.

25 of our dollars. Yes, that's right. Yeah. Yeah, correct. Is it cheap? People have said it's cheap in Greece, though. It is very cheap. It depends where you go.

Islands or mainland? Islands. Yeah, you'll be fine. We're not going to any touristy spots. I don't even think we're going to Santorini. Bree goes on Friday, by the way. The podcast is going to be on a break for two weeks. Just getting ahead of the curve.

I'll do it by myself. Are you going to do the podcast? Yeah, I'll just do it myself. Ooh la la. How excited was your dog to see you? He was so low key. You would have built it up so much. You would have thought you were one of those soldiers returning from war and your dog comes out and starts crying.

He's going to not recognise me for a second and then be like, but he was just like, what's up? Just come over to my house anytime you want. My dog, Meryl, acts like I've been literally away for 10 years when I go home every day. I feel like my dog celebrates me more when I get home from work than I did from this trip. I think because he had such a good time.

He was staying with his grandparents. He had such a good time. That's what it would be. Actually, I don't want to leave. He also put good time. He was staying with his grandparents. He had such a good time. Oh, that's what it would be. He's like, actually, I don't want to leave. He also put on weight. He did. Yeah. He was getting fed his entire daily food in one meal twice a day.

Oh, my God. We found with our cats, when we put them in the cattery over summer, like for two or three weeks, when we'd pick them up, one would ignore us completely when it got home. Like it was mad at us. Yeah, it was mad at you. Yeah. And the other one would smooch the shit out home like it was mad at us yeah and the other one would smooch the shit out of us which we interpreted as please don't send me back there i'm sorry for whatever i did please don't send me back to cat jail with all those other nasty cats

i feel like it would be so stressful for cats yeah because like let's be real cats aren't pack animals no No, but what I was told about cats is they're only territorial in their own territory. So when you put them in neutral ground, like a cattery, they don't care. Yeah, but like, you know what I mean? Like cats don't really socialise

and want to hang out with other cats. No, they're snobs. Whereas like dogs love being, most dogs, love being around other dogs. They're a pack animal. We paid a premium for our cats at the cattery to have their own suite. What was the premium worth? I think it was $18 to shmingle with the regular cats a day and $25 to have your own suite.

That's not bad. But if you put two cats in the suite, you have to pay $25 per cat. Oh. I know. What? I was like, bro, come on. They're cats. It doesn't make sense.

They're fine. One cat, $25. Two cats, $25 each. That doesn't make sense. You're already paying for the suite. I know. Lucky one's dead. R.I.P.

Should have just tied them together and said they were Siamese cats. Yeah. Like Siamese turtles. Two heads, eight legs, and two buttholes. Yeah. What's the Siamese cats. Yeah. Like Siamese twins. Two heads, eight legs and two buttholes. What's the Siamese part? Oh, Siamese cats. I get the joke now. Yeah.

I got it. I got it, Claude, and I thought it was very good. I don't think you can actually call them that anymore. Why not? I think they're just called conjoined twins now. You can't call the twins Siamese. I was like, surely we can call Siamese cats Siameseese did they call the conjoined twins siamese twins why that was just the word for it i didn't know that wasn't the word anymore i think it's not kosher anymore oh christ it's hard to keep up

i don't care don't cancel me i'm sorry it's just a joke cancel the cat um okay all right any other business we need to attend to now that claudia's back or is everybody now i want to go home and watch the olympics i want to go home and watch the Olympics.
