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.

It's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod
Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod and today it's a spillover from a topic from the Big Pod
I really enjoyed this topic of where were you sent when you,
why were you sent somewhere
and where were you sent?
Basically, we got onto this
because if you listen to the big pod,
you'll know this.
Ross Boss looks like a really naughty teenager
at the moment.
He's got long, greasy hair.
Greasy, long hair and it's,
yeah, it's been a few comments.
Something ungroomed.
Yeah, and so we made the comment,
you're going to be,
you're very close.
You're on the border of being sent
to Outward Bound.
Yeah.
To learn what you want from life.
Like an American or an Australian equivalent of this.
Like military camp or.
Yeah, military school, military camp.
There'll be lots of naughty kid camps.
I mean, they've literally made TV shows out of them,
the naughty kid camps.
What is that military school called?
Vanguard Military School?
Yeah.
Because somebody asked on our community page
that their child's starting at Vanguard and
how does it get there?
And I was immediately like, ooh, I wanted to write it down.
Ooh, I'm naughty.
Naughty.
We're naughty, naughty boy.
I'm a mama.
So we asked you where you were sent.
What'd you do?
Where'd you go?
How was it?
We never got sent anywhere.
But for some reason, all of my cousins used to get sent to our house to live for a while
when they were being naughty.
Oh, you were the...
Sounds like you had the, I'll say it, better parents.
Because you said we never got sent anywhere.
So you were obviously well behaved.
And your cousins, they got sent to your house for a little bit of a reprimand.
Yeah.
I often think that with my nieces and nephews.
They'd do well with a couple of weeks under my roof.
Sort them out.
Your grumpy uncle Warren.
I took them for ice creams at the beach when we were at the beach
not a single thank you
and then we got back
and their mum said
my sister
did you say thank you
and they were all like
yep
and they wouldn't look at me
when they said it
because I would have been like
did you
because I'm pretty sure
I never heard that
fucking thank you
my gosh
whereas my own children
are like
hey thanks for the ice cream dad
when we were walking there
before we even had the ice cream
right
because they know
similar with my child Aaron I cooked dinner last night for him and his friend of the ice cream, Dad, when we were walking there before we even had the ice cream. Right. Because they know.
Similar with my child, Aaron.
I cooked dinner last night for him and his friend.
And they did, when they went in to get the dinner,
they got their dinner and they said thank you.
But afterwards, they just ate the meal and then came back in and sort of put their plates down and left.
I was like.
So he's had a naughty friend over.
Because when I went to my friend's house when I was a kid,
my manners were like, yeah, over the top. Thank you for dinner, Mrs. So-and-so. Thank's house when I was a kid, my manners were over the top.
Thank you for dinner, Mrs. So-and-so.
Thank you very much.
That was delicious, Mrs. Sproul.
Why would you let him have a friend on a weeknight?
Yeah.
You know he had an early morning for school this morning.
Yeah, I know.
No, I did.
I let him have a friend.
Did they stay up on our phone PlayStation?
Well, he's a good boy.
They're good boys, but they just miss their manners.
Okay, well, maybe they were a little bit excited.
Why did I sit there waiting for it
like no
okay well
fuck you then
you're a nachos
my mum wanted to
say nachos
you bitch
I made nachos
and I didn't get
a thank you
I love nachos
my mum never
cooked anything
special when I had
friends over
it was just like
whatever we were
like whatever
you were having
you would eat
the shitty meatloaf
that's what you're
just gonna have
it was never
a special meal for guests
Pork chops and boiled vegetables
Yeah
My mum wanted to send me to Outward Bound
So I did some research
And I made her come too
Because apparently they do a parent teen one
Oh my god flip a switch
Backfired
Get mum up abseiling
Give up your cell phone
My cousin got sent back to Samoa
For selling drugs
Yikes.
You know they don't have the whacking rules there.
No. You're going to arrive.
You're going to arrive. You arrive to the Cook Islands and there's
always a lovely little ukulele set up and they're singing
you a song, welcoming you home. It's the same with
Samoa except there's just this line of aunties
and uncles ready to whoop you
for selling drugs.
Did you want to read one?
Yeah, I just felt like jumping in.
Please, please.
I think the female voice on the show is lacking.
My parents sent me them.
The female voice everyone loves so much.
My parents sent me to stay with our old French au pair in Ville, France.
What?
I'm sorry, what?
Our old French au pair in Ville, France.
I was just being a normal teenager, but mum couldn't cope with me
because she was
still having her
own tantrums
off to France
wait so do you think
the French au pair
was their au pair
in New Zealand
and then moved back
to France
and so they were like
maybe
go and live in France
or do you think
this is when they lived
maybe in the UK
or lived in France
they had an au pair
they came to New Zealand
they were like
fuck you
we're sending you
back to the au pair
even just being
sent to France.
Oh, my God.
Amazing.
Gorgeous.
Yeah.
Baguettes.
Are you kidding me? I'd be like, baguettes, bitches.
A lot of carbs, but beautiful.
It's fine.
We're as a teenager.
It's fine.
My brother was threatened by my dad with being sent to Borstal.
That's a British thing to say.
Borstal.
Oh, right.
Isn't that like a youth detention?
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Borstal is familiar.
Borstal is a type of Youth detention centre In the UK
Several members
Ireland and India
Such a detention centre
Was known as a
Borstal school
Jesus
It's run by the prison service
So it's like
Juvie basically
Yeah
It's the step before Juvie
My brother was threatened
By dad to be sent to Borstal
He didn't know what it was
He was only 8
He went out to the driveway
And broke down
In what could only be described
As child hysteria And the newly moved Neighbours were so bewildered By what she was. He was only eight. He went out to the driveway and broke down in what could only be described as child hysteria.
And the newly moved-in neighbours
were so bewildered
by what she was seeing
and kept watch
until my mum arrived home
and assured him
he wasn't going to be going
to Borstal,
whatever that was.
Wow.
Gosh.
Yeah.
I got sent to fat camp
and I wasn't in the fattest kid
at school.
I was like,
why am I going to fat camp?
Do they do health
or fat camp now?
No, it was just rebranded.
Yeah, right.
I think they just call it Camp and everybody goes.
Because everyone's fat?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because we're all fat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going to go Camp NZ.
I don't, yeah.
There's one called Camp Boom.
Oh, no, this is like positive, positive, like, yeah,
fat chicks hanging out together yeah but
you don't say boom does it sound like an inclusive environment no this isn't like i'm talking about
weight loss camps yeah i remember it was a thing yeah but that's what it was
my brother was expelled from school so got sent to a boarding school the bitching and complaining
but the other funny thing is my sister was so angry because she was an A plus student who had begged to go to a boarding school.
Oh.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But she also behaved too well.
You wanted to go to boarding school?
Yeah.
Get away from your stinking parents.
Yeah.
I got sent to boarding school in Oamaru after a few too many fights at school in Christchurch.
Jokes on them.
Did far worse things in Oamaru than getting into a couple of fistfights.
What in the steampunk capital of this country?
Beautiful town.
Yeah.
Beautiful town.
Beautiful town. Have you seen another movie there over the Australia? Beautiful town. Beautiful town. Beautiful town.
Have you seen another movie there over the break?
I don't know.
I saw it somewhere.
The Florence Pugh movie.
Is that the Florence Pugh movie?
Has Florence Pugh been hanging out here?
Yeah.
She's in the country.
It's so hilarious that you think of a Hollywood celebrity, Florence Pugh in Oamaru.
I know.
There's some nice spots.
There's some nice spots, but it's also like... It's not the pride of the nation.
And apart from some young people, I don't think your average sort of middle-aged Oamaruva knight would know who the fuck Florence Pugh was.
So she's probably quite enjoying walking around, doing whatever she wants.
Somebody said, got enrolled in a church camp.
My family weren't religious at all.
I don't know why they thought that was going to sort it out.
First time I ever had sex.
Amazing.
Amazing.
They'd be fucking at church camp.
At church camp.
That's right.
Do you remember Parachute?
Every time the music festival happened, the ECP would sell out at Hamilton Pharmacy.
I had a few Christmas friends that always went to parachute and yeah. Debauchery.
Crazy.
What are you laughing for? I was just parachute. Did you used to go?
No, never been.
Never been to parachute but I knew people that went
who were not religious and didn't like the music.
Oh yeah, parachute's long gone.
Christian music festival was kind of
rock-a-roll-y, emo-y.
Yeah, it's well gone
I've thoroughly enjoyed this
I think this has been my favourite topic we've covered so far this year
granted it is only day three
I hope there's many more
topics that bring me such joy
