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.

Excuse the shit out of you guys. You guys can go back to Sydney. Go back to Australia. They're over us already after one day. I tried really hard to get Wi-Fi in the Coru Lounge yesterday so I could pretend that I was working while I was drinking a mimosa.

How did you get in? Oh, so scandal. So here's the update, right? Well, give the pre-date first. Yeah, so essentially Clint and I were panicking because we have had KORU memberships and then they both expired. I think mine expired two days before we left

and yours expired the day before we left. And both of us were like, no, what are we going to do? We're like, what are the chances? Oh my God, it just sucked because it was so close to when they expired. A little bit of backstory to it as well. So that's like a premium lounge membership, if you're listening overseas.

It gets you into the private lounge, free food and drink, that sort of thing. When we purchased these memberships, I think we paid like $400 for them, $400, $500. I think it was, yeah, with the company, if you do it through the company that way with it, they waive some of the fees. So it's like about $400. So for 12 months of it, as company If you do it through The company that we're with They waive some of the fees So it's like

About $400 So for 12 months of it As long as you use it enough Yeah I feel like it's worth it Like if you can eat And drink enough And take enough people

And it's worth it It's gone up to $750 What? Because I looked into it I was like Oh maybe I should buy Another one Like just before

Like the day before We were about to leave And I was like Oh I'll have a look I was like $750 That's insane I was like, oh, I'll have a look. I was like, $750? That's insane. I was like, can't afford that.

Unless you're like travelling once a week. Which it makes sense if you are. It's meant to be for commercial travellers. Every fucking man and his dog. Not radio hosts who think they're too good to sit out in the regular boarding lounge. Anyway, Brie, back to you. It's not even that.

Like there's all these other things that come into it, like where you can get an extra bag when you book flights. Do you get premium boarding or anything? You get premium boarding. You get your bags come off first. You get better seats and better legroom on the plane. So there's quite a few different things. Anyway, so after I looked into that, I was like, oh, fuck,

I can't afford that. I was like, oh, okay. Anyway, so Clint's already there. He had a pass, a voucher. I had two vouchers. Two vouchers. So we decided he was like, we can either go in the Kauri lounge on the way there or on the way back. You can have one of my vouchers.

We just need to pick whether we do it on the way there or the way back. You're like, I'm going in on the way there and the way back. I'll see you on the plane. That's what he said at first. And then I begged him. No, I'm just kidding. You didn't know. He was like, on on the way there and the way back. I'll see you on the plane. That's what he said at first and then I begged him. No, I'm just kidding. You didn't know. He was like, on the way there or on the way back?

Anyway, so he was already there and I got there after him and I've checked in, done all my things. And when the thing printed my bag tag, it said priority on the bag tag, which is what it always says when you have a Kauru membership, right, because your bag comes off the plane first and blah, blah, blah. And I looked at it and went, what? And then it printed my ticket and on the ticket it still says Kauru. And I was like, wait a second.

And I was trying to figure out what was going on. Finally, I was like, anyway, I'm just going to try and get in with this ticket. Bluff it. Yeah, bluff my way in. And then at the gate, if they go, you go, oh, my gosh, is it expired? I had no idea. Oh, I didn't realise that. And then maybe they'd let me in anyway.

Anyway, went to the corridor lounge, put my ticket down, bing, comes up green, lets me in. What a celebration. I walk in, I see Clint, I go, it worked. I figured out, I reckon I figured out what it was. I reckon when the company that brought us over for the Wicked film booked the tickets, we both still had memberships. And I think it's from the time you booked the ticket.

Oh my God, that's crazy. It must be. Has to be. That's the only explanation. So you eat your hash browns. So we had our hash browns. I had like seven hash browns. There's no calories in that room.

No, no, no, no, no, no. There's no calories. Once you go through customs. Yeah, nothing counts. Nothing counts. I had three breakfasts Yeah you did Well it might be the last time

I ever get to go in there And then we had breakfast On the plane We were so full Good trip though Nah Oh You met Bonnie Ari

In a great way Yeah We had such a good time I said to Clint a few times I was like How fucking good is this I was like I'm having the best time And I said to Brie I just can I was like, how fucking good is this? I was like, I'm having the best time.

And I said to Brie, I just can't enjoy it without Ella and Claudia here. But I'll try. You wanker. And then I said, fuck that, I can. I do miss them, but I'll still enjoy myself. I'm still having a great time. I think both of us, we felt very lucky. Like we were in a really nice hotel.

It was just a view. Together? Yeah. In the that view was incredible. Together? Yeah. You stayed in the same room? Nah. Top of town. Bree bought me a $27 espresso martini. Yeah.

Not on purpose. We didn't know they were that expensive, but we ordered them. Australian dollars? Yeah. Woo-hoo! Yeah, bloody hell. Oh, by the way, I've got some receipts for the company credit card. Oh, great.
