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 Hey everybody, welcome to the Brian Clint After Party You guys don't know this about me but I'm currently on the quest for the perfect office chair Like I need a new chair to sit in at home Because I'm slouching It's got no wheels, the chair that I'm sitting in It's just a dinner table chair that I've got in where my computer is So I need to find a chair

I found the chair that I want Exciting times in the Roberts household I know, these are the things that excite me I found the chair that I want And it was on this New Zealand furniture website, but it didn't have a price on it. That means it's expensive. Things that don't have a price, it means it's bloody expensive. It said POA, price on application.

Oh, God. You can apply for a chair. And I thought to myself, I'm sure it is expensive, but how expensive could it be? It's a chair. It's for a chair. And I thought to myself, I'm sure it is expensive, but how expensive could it be? It's a chair. It's an office chair. It's a desk chair. It's a leather desk chair.

How much do they think they can charge for this? And if I'm going to have the chair forever, it could be worth spending some money on it, you know, investing a little bit in the chair. How much was the chair? They've replied to me and they said, hello, Mr. Roberts, thank you for the inquiry about the chair. The chair is this, blah, blah, blah.

This is the history of the chair, blah, blah, blah. The list price for the chair is $13,950. What? Including GST, though. That is ridiculous. How can people justify stuff like that? Is it like Winston Churchill's chair or something? No.

It's a piece of history. Whose ass is sat on that chair that's worth that much? You're right, Claude. It's not even a nice looking chair. It's a dumb chair. I think it's a beautiful chair. I think it's ugly. Is it made of like a rope?

Is it made of like a rope? Is it worth a first or second car? No. No. It's just a chair. It's just a desk chair. You reply back and go, I'm not paying that. They'll go, bro, you asked.

It's just a bit weird. You put the decimal place in the wrong place. That makes me infuriated. I'm glad I don't like it because then I'm not going to be sad. I still love it. It's a beautiful chair. Have you sat in it though? No, but for that price, it would be phenomenal.

Would it? I don't know. They also said we don't have any. So they're so expensive, they don't keep any in stock. Yeah, no shit. You have to. It's the same price as a bloody Ford Fiesta. You'd have to pay a deposit on that chair for them to get it for you.

How do people. For a $14,000 chair. How do people think that that's acceptable? Okay. I think there's a thing. So you're rich and then there's a thing where you're rich, rich, and you have so much money that you don't know what to do with it so you just buy stupid stuff like that.

Of course. You know? But it's quite. It's so silly. There's not all that many people that are that rich. No, especially in New Zealand. No, there's not. And that would be why they don't put the price up there

and why they don't have any in stock. Because I bet when they got this email today, they're like, oh, wow, someone's inquired about the chair. That never happens. It's been years. That's so silly. They're going to be, yeah. Please don't get that.

I'm not going to reply. No, so we're actually going to look at it. There's no risk of me getting the chair. Back to Kmart, I guess. Yeah, back to Freedom Furniture or some shit, I guess. Freedom? Fancy. Freedom is pretty X-y as well Yeah expensive but great

But expensive Well the couch that we originally wanted from Freedom We could not afford It was like $8000 Is that where you were looking at That really nice solo couch That little chair the puffy one That was out of my price range as well.

It was like three grand for like a single seat. One chair. I had money though. You could sit two people in it. But the couch we ended up buying from Freedom, we got on sale. I think we paid three grand, which is a decent amount for a couch. For a couch, three grand. Good.

13, 14 for a chair. It's ridiculous. I just read the rest of13,000, $14,000 for a chair? It's ridiculous. I just read the rest of the email about the $14,000 office chair. If you want it, you have to pay a 50% deposit, so you have to put down seven grand, and then there's a 26-week lead time on the chair. Is that half a year? You won't get it.

You won't get it for six months. It's like when I bought the couch from Freedom and then it got damaged and then I had to wait a year. And then they were like, yeah, we'll give you a discount. And then they never did. That chair is more than my wedding photographer. I need to call them. Do you reckon I should call Freedom and be like, you guys offered

us a discount and you never gave it to us? Where's the free part of Freedom? Or is that a bit sad? Well, they need to have something that you want to buy. I could find something. A pillow? They've got nice pillows.

Do you want to deal with all of it? But then you're spending money that you weren't going to spend otherwise, so you're actually not saving any money. But they could just give us a store credit, and then if there's time down the track... They probably won't. They'll just say a discount on something else. I'll be like, sweet, well you can just give me something for free.

Do Freedom do the cafes in their store still because it could give you a voucher for their cafes. Get your money back and she's gone. There's nothing better than a coffee

from the Freedom Cafe. All right, should we go home? Yeah, I've got trivia to go play. Oh yeah. Fine, I was having fun today guys. How good's a walnut though? Better than a Brazil nut. I like a pistach go play. Oh, yeah. Fine. I was having fun today, guys. How good's a walnut, though?

Better than a Brazil nut. I like a pistachio. They're very salty. Oh, that's the nut chat again. Wrap it up. I suck them. Oh, yeah. All right.

Tell me. Tell me, oh. Tell me, oh. See you guys tomorrow. This is a democracy. I want me on. I vote for nuts. I thought I sucked the life out of it with chair chat,

and then we got into nut chat. Yeah, well, I didn't want to say anything, Clint, but that was hard.
