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.
From the ZM Podcast Network, it's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod.
Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod.
God, we talk about Shannon's apartment a bit on this show, don't we?
Yeah, it's certainly had its, I mean, remember the pigeons
when they attacked the apartment? Remember the man in the
lift who sort of came out from behind and gave
her a fright? Yeah.
And the sniffer dog
sniffing for drugs and the fact
that it's small and she sleeps on a
single bed. This
apartment is sort of notorious on the show,
Shannon. Yeah, and
I am renewing my lease.
Now, let's...
I would have thought you were like, great news, I've managed to get out of my lease.
It would be like, oh, thank God, she's free, fly free.
No, I asked to renew it.
And best news ever, they're not increasing the rent.
Oh, they missed the trip.
Whatever, because they're just stoked somebody wants to be in there for another year.
You're like, don't scare them off.
Wouldn't you want to find an apartment where you could have a fridge freezer?
No.
No.
Ice cubes really rule, bro.
And they drink so nice.
And not having to buy you a chicken breast every single day from the dairy.
That's handy.
Who won breast every day?
But I love my chicken dairy.
My dairy chicken.
Yeah.
You know.
No, I truly love living there and I can afford it.
I think it's more than the fact I love living there.
And you get to live there by yourself.
You don't have to live in a room in a flat.
No, yeah.
So my partner, he pays half the rent, but I'm there all the time.
He's never there.
Nice.
I mean, that sounds like a fucking fantastic deal of your uptake.
Beautiful situation.
Yeah, and I feel really safe there.
Like, I know the men jump out of me in the elevator,
but my apartment is safe, you know?
Yeah.
My door is locked.
What about the person that was throwing food scraps
out of their balcony?
I mean, like, it's got a lot of character.
Yeah.
I will also say it provides us a lot of show content.
Actually.
Actually.
Wow, Carwen's been working in radio way too long now.
She's turned into that.
Do you reckon we could almost write off your rent as a business expense?
I was going to say, tax expense?
Yeah.
Yeah, no.
I am unsure.
We haven't heard anything about the food scrap vandal.
I'm still convinced it's Shannon.
No, it's not me.
I don't have enough food to scrap.
That's right. No, it's not me. I don't have enough food to scrap. That's right.
What's she got left?
Just one corner of her daily dairy chicken breast?
Yeah, no.
So believe it or not, I'm staying another year.
But I can tell that everyone's leases have been up.
I've got new neighbours.
Oh, okay.
And we share a doorstep.
So I can't have a doormat because our doors are completely triangle to each other.
I don't know how to explain that audio-ly.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like you couldn't have two squares
in front of each door because they're kind of
facing each other.
Have you logged on Teemu to see if there's some
kind of triangular arrow-shaped
doormat for both of you? It feels bold
to assume what they would want also.
I've only heard them twice.
They don't speak English, or at least
in that moment they didn't. So I feel like
if I was like, clean your paws,
it would be like weird.
What was the other time you heard them?
Just like moving in. I just only
heard them move in and then never again.
But they don't really yell and say, do you hear them through
the walls? No, that's the crazy thing
about this apartment. For all of its faults, so soundproof.
Really?
I've never heard upstairs or downstairs.
Hyper thin.
Yeah, that apartment building screams skimping on soundproofing.
I would have thought so, but no, I never, ever hear them.
Just as someone slams their door in the morning,
and they did it that first time and they moved in,
so the next morning when I left at 4 a.m.,
I did mine loud and they've never done it since.
Oh my God,
did for tat?
You're like,
I don't know.
Wow.
How petty.
Well,
I just wanted to be like,
this is what it sounds like
from bed.
Yeah,
good from you.
Good from you.
But 100%
that would be me.
But now I feel like
it would be very bold
to assume,
hey,
we should have a shared doormat.
Yeah,
fair call.
So you're saying
that for another year,
for the same amount of money,
we get endless joy and content from Shannon and her little apartment.
We'll see if the pigeon shits on my bench again.
I love this.
Stay tuned, listener.
Stay tuned.
