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.

They're giant grapes. Shark cutery board is getting, it's getting nibbled at. Yeah, it's getting nibbled at. We did, in order to drink responsibly,

have a really big brekkie. Yes. So it's just picking. It's glorious. Your meat's gone untouched. Yeah, the meat. The meat's room temperature now and it's ready to be eaten.

I can do without it, to be honest. It's ready to be eaten. Oh, God. It needs to be shifted. What? It needs to be shifted. I can do without it, to be honest. It's ready to be eaten. Oh, God. It needs to be shifted. What? It needs to be shifted. Yeah. The meat.

Okay, carry on. Mason is first up. Feed it to the cat. Oh, he's ramming it down his throat. No, it's good. It's good meat. Is it good? I'm happy without.

It's got a film to it. That's what I want. A buttery film? Yeah. I want my meat to have a protective layer. Yeah, me too. Almost like, is that a layer of, you know, that thin sort of paper they have on some deli meats?

Like, have I left that on? Yeah. Or is it just congealed fat? Mason Kay is a farmer from the West Coast in the South Island of New Zealand and is next up for a shout out. I just ate a piece of cheese. Oh, yeah.

Wait, no, and a grape at the same time Everyone on that? I'm going now Revolutionary Everyone at the same time Cheese and grape Cheese and grape Well that cheese is getting that room temp film on it too

Yeah Love a bit of room temp cheese Not for me Mason Fishing a lot of crunch Says his Christmas message is Happy birthday Princess from Data Sorry we can't be together this year

Nicest thing that happened to him this year Was he got a pay rise he didn't ask for. I love that. That's nice. In 2024, who are you working for? Get us a job. Let's put any money. The naughtiest thing, the moment of the year was. No, the naughtiest is the pay rise.

The naughtiest was a quickie after going to the FVH live show on Christchurch. Oh, wow. You are so horned up. We got your horny, did we? We got your horny. So you had a better time after the FVH show

than we did after the FVH show. That's crazy. Because on Christchurch, we were promised to be taken out for a couple of drinks. Ross didn't book a place, which would have meant you thought with a party

of 12 or so people would have been, you know, a sensible thing to do. And so we walked around Christchurch not getting in anywhere and then going home to bed. By the time we got there, I was tired and grumpy, and I didn't even get a quickie afterwards. No, neither.

Huh. Goodness. Not even one. No, I won't say it. It's too early. You know what we were messaging about the other day when you were asking me how my trip was, and I was like, oh. Oh, yeah.

I spent way too long. Anyway, I'm doing that. It's Christmas. Waste of time. He says, it's Christmas. The time for moderation is over. It's time to indulge. I will, however, say in moderation.

In moderation, of course. In moderation, of course. Michaela's next for a podcast shout out. Michaela is 30. She's from New Zealand. I did what everyone does and I moved to Australia for a podcast shout-out. Michaela is 30. She's from New Zealand. I did what everyone does, and I moved to Australia for the money. Get it. Get that money, honey.

Get it. Long-time listener. First time doing a Christmas shout-out. I don't know if that's a thing, but yeah, okay. Lovely. It's all right. I've been listening for at least 12 years, and you've gotten me through many walks of my part-time job, uni,

my full-time job, working from home during COVID, and now being entertained while I'm at home looking after my daughter while on maternity leave. Oh, my gosh. I will say this latest apparel is heavy on the Prosecco. Or you didn't stir it. It is. More soda? It's fine.

No, it's fine. I can do a soda top-up. It just sounds like you're not okay. It just sounds like I'm fucked up and it's not okay. I'll battle through it. I'll battle through it. I'll battle through it. After this, I'm going to get a little soda water topper. Okay.

My Christmas shout out this year goes to my incredible partner, Jessie, who's been the rock I needed during the summer, which is weird because I thought she just called us the rock. Yeah. I thought she just said we were her rock. Or she's got two rocks and she's between a rock and another hard rock. Yeah. Another rock, which is a hard place.

A river? Yeah. Just surrounded by river rocks? What are we, river rocks? What are we, Didymo? Yeah. Are we Didymo growing on Jessie's rock? What is this, gravel?

There's just rocks everywhere? Rocks left, right and centre. Pick a rock. She goes on to say, you're amazing. I wouldn't want to do this level of sleep deprived living with anyone else. Oh, thank you. Nicest thing that happened this year. She's talking to Jessie again there. Not you, not us. Oh, no. Not you. Oh, thank you. Nicest thing that happened this year, she's talking to Jessie again there.

Not you, not us. Oh, no. Not you. Oh, what? That was for Jessie. That was for us. Fucking rude. I love when people accept compliments not for them.

Now, I've got the soda water. Carlin's brought it to me. Give me a glass. Thank you, thank you. A little top. Okay. Also, Shannon's put the electrical outlets right next to my drink,

which is not going to end well, but it's all right. It could be an explosive end to the podcast. Oh! Oh, Hayley! Hell of a story for the podcast, though. It could be an explosive end to the podcast. That would be a really highly downloaded podcast.

Yeah. First person to die on a podcast. Yeah. Because you would, of course, upload it after you drag my dead corpse away. It seems a waste not to. Yeah, yeah. Oh, we're not going to waste work.

Okay, well, you have my permission to upload the podcast. Nicest thing that happened this year was the birth of our daughter. The naughtiest moment of the year was working from home during the first trimester where I just slept all day. Yeah, of course. Yeah, fair. You're allowed. Just read them.

Compliments. Hayley, you're incredibly funny. Vaughn, I enjoy your Instagram updates and the fact that you respond. Unlike Hayley. Yeah, I'm getting better. F updates and the fact that you respond. Unlike Haley. Yeah, I'm getting better. Your laugh is infectious. Thanks for having me laughing out louder.

Every morning. Love you all. Oh, thank you. That is lovely. And thank you. The compliment. Beautiful.

Sarah, about me. 41. Shut up. It's fine. From the UK, currently living in Auckland, New Zealand.

Neve, I'm on your favorite podcast, Neve. Happy Christmas, you wanker, Neve. I wonder if this is Neve from before. From earlier. Oh, it could be. Yeah, it could be. Nicest thing that happened this year,

I became Neve's elder millennial busy after we bonded at work over a shared love of your podcast. Oh, that's lovely. That's a short one. Absolutely, that's a short one, but it's a sweet one. Bring the people together. Yes. Next, on episode 11, Fletch licks the power outlet.

I don't know if that's happening. That's going to take me at least a few more cocktails. Give him a little tongue-in. Because did you guys ever lick the little 9-volt batteries? Yeah. Yes, kids. Did you used to chew on them? No.

Batteries. Little batteries. No, like double A's and that. Yes. To get more power out of them. Oh, I know. You bite them. Yeah, you just like munch them down.

Your battery should not go in your mouth because if you swallow it, your stomach completes a circuit and it'll burn a hole in you. Oh, I'm sure it's terrible. But I used to always get like, you know, another hour on my Discman. I'm not going to get out of bed when I'm trying to listen to, I can't remember what it was, some chat show. And he's like, chew on the battery, put it back in. Listen away.

Listen to a walk. What is the science behind that chew on the battery, put it back in, listen away. Listen to a walkthrough. What is the science behind that? Because the battery was out of power or they were- Condensed? I don't know. I always thought it was sort of like condensing the power tighter. People have all sorts of weird theories on batteries, like when they rechargeable ones don't recharge anymore, you freeze them or you throw them on the ground and it breaks

up the crystals because the ability to blah, blah, blah. Crystal, what is amethyst in there? Yeah. Rose quartz batteries. Yeah. Powered by the moon. To ability to blah, blah, blah. Crystal, what is amethyst in there? Yeah. Rose quartz batteries. Yeah. Powered by the moon. To bring love and luck into your life. On the next episode, Renee and Molly get shout outs.
