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.

From the Zedium Podcast Network, it's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Jenna's one of my best mate's birthdays this week. Yep. And I caught up with him recently, him and his partner, and they were talking about the birthday, and they kept saying Thursday, Thursday, and Thursday. And I was like, his birthday's not Thursday. It's Tuesday.

Mm-hmm. He thought his birthday was the 15th, but his birthday's the 13th. I was like, I think you've got your own birthday wrong. Wait, he didn't realize what day it was. The week before his birthday, he said his birthday was next Thursday. I said, no, it's Tuesday because it's the 13th. And he was like, no, it's Thursday. And I was like, you've got your own birthday wrong. This doesn't surprise said, no, it's Tuesday because it's the 13th. And he was like, no, it's Thursday. And I was like,

you've got your own birthday. But this doesn't surprise, you know, Callum, this doesn't surprise this man of all people. He didn't do a lot of the rowing on the river. Yeah, right.

When he wanted to talk with the other groups, we were a little bit slower in the boat and Fletcher's like a fucking Yamaha outdoor motor getting down that river as quick as possible.

Yeah. And Callum's like dipping both oars into trying to put the brakes on and be like, I want to talk to my friends. But he's like, no, we must get river as quick as possible. Yeah. And Callum's like dipping both oars in to try to put the brakes on and be like, I want to talk to my friends! But she's like, no, we must get there as quick as possible! How old is he? Forty-something? Forty-three. That's far too early to be like, I don't know

what my birth date is. I get forgetting how old you are. Yes. All the time. Is it forty-three or forty-two? Am I? Oh yeah, I am. But forgetting the day of your birth, you write it down so much you see it in your brain. I hate the 1039. I don't know. But forgetting the day of your birth, you write it down so much, you see it in your brain. April the 10th, 1939. April the 10th, 1939.

I don't know. But I was just like, you've got your own birthday wrong. But then on Tuesday, I was like, happy birthday. He's like, thanks, man. So I don't know if he checked his ID. Or you just confirmed it for him and he was like, true that. Yeah, because the confusing part was there was two dudes, they were both short and their birthdays were two days apart.

And 13 and 15, to me, it's almost the same number. I get that. Very close. And so I had to really reiterate to myself early that the short man that I was friends with was the 13th because he came first. Because he was your friend. He was my friend, so he came first. And the other guy was second and on the 15th.

Way down the list. Okay. Way down the list. Right. But, yeah, so he kind of forgot his own birthday. I never forget. You know I love my birthdays. I love a fast-

You constantly remind us. 8th of October, 1989. It's such a shame you weren't born in August. Right. Nah, I fucked it up. Nah, go on. Just let it go. Because you know, originally October was the eighth month.

That's why it's called Oct. Yes. October. Yeah. And you're the eighth. And then in my mind, I was like, eighth of the eighth. It's a shame it wasn't 88. That would be a great birthday.

Okay. And that would also make me older, which is not what I fucking want. I want to be younger. Okay. I want to be 90, 97. What about 90, 99? Ninth of the ninth, 99. Yeah, that'd be nice.

We should do a phone-in one day. It's like, is your birth date the coolest? Yeah. Because 9th of the 9th 99 is going to be hard to beat. 8th of the 8th 88. Yeah, 10th of the 10th 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were calling that 15 years old this year.

Yeah. 10, 10, 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's cool. 7, 7, 7, 7. 2, 2, 2, 2. Just like numbers now. Yeah, we are.

Numbers are fun. Do you know, I was thinking about the group. Just saying numbers now. Yeah, we are. Numbers are fun. Do you know, I was thinking about the group, we've talked about this before, what multiplications don't look right. And what's well with us. Oh, yes, yes. Purely from an aesthetic. 8 times 6, of course, is 48.

Yeah, I know. That makes perfect sense. I was thinking about the pairings. 7-7 being 49, of course. The pairings that make 10. I'm very happy with 8 and 2 pairing up to make 10. Yeah. Very happy with 8 and 2 pairing up to make 10.

7 and 3? 7 and 3, not as happy about it. Yuck. Not as happy about it. I think four and six is fucked. Four and six is a little bit fucked because six is curvy and four is the jagged version of the... They don't go well together.

Yeah, totally. No. And two and eight, siblings or dating? Yeah, two and eight, siblings or dating. Two and eight, are they siblings or are they dating? It's hard to tell. One and nine, though, absolute perfection. Yeah.

No. It's a bit off balance for me. Yeah, nice. Yeah, and the nine's got too much of a say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, yeah, one is really outnumbered there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

One's getting put in the cut chair, and nine's going to take another zero. Yeah. You know? Five and five, though. Five and five I'm not happy with, because that means there has to be two of the fives, but everybody else is by themselves. It's two on the fence. Yeah, you're right, actually.

Yeah. You're right. It's like it's making out with on the fence. Yeah, you're right, actually. Yeah. You're right. It's like it's making out with itself in a mirror. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. What are you? Narcissist? Yeah.

Five is a narcissist. Five is a narcissist. Five is a narcissist. And because it is a narcissist, because it's like, remember how easy I am to do timetables with everything. Yeah. You barely forget. Fives like that.

That's how many fingers you've got. That's how many toes you've got. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm the star. I'm the star of the show because I've got a five-pointed star. Fuck five. Fuck five.

I will say it. I'll go on record. Fuck the number five.
