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.

special fucking child carry on I have a developing situation okay go ahead it's now on date of record late November yes the Smith sibling chat has started up again last year's 14th of January

Jesus Your tight ass brother is back at it again isn't he Mum and dad would like a dash cam for Christmas Fucking what This is what he's messaged Mum and dad would like Because we always go in and buy mum and dad something for Christmas Mum and dad would like a dash cam for Christmas

I said are you fucking kidding me Why ha ha ha What do they live in Russia I don't know Wait do you know everyone in Russia has a dash cam for Christmas. I said, are you fucking kidding me? Why? Ha ha ha. They live in Russia. What, do they live in Russia? I don't know. Wait, do you know everyone in Russia has a dash cam? I've got a dash cam. It's not on. I don't have a chip in it, so it doesn't work.

Like an SD card in it. Yeah. Because what's the deal? You're driving and it records in half an hour a lot, saying then it'll be like back to start. Yeah. Or it divvies it up into half an hour and then it starts deleting the old ones

when it gets to the new ones. I've just never used it. It's just sat in my car the whole time. Oh my God, just rip mine out of my car and they can have that second hand. It's never been used. I feel like I wouldn't want one. You already want a little something? I don't want a little something.

I feel like I wouldn't want one if I had a car because it's just evidence of your terrible driving. That's evidence of me wandering from lane to lane. Plus, you know when you watch dash cam footage back and you can hear the conversation. I don't need anyone hearing what I'm listening to in my car. I borrowed a friend's van. You know who I'm talking about. And I don't know what a dash cam in it. And it was just me in the van.

I was talking to myself, drove past someone hot. I was like, that's what I'm talking about. To myself, I said some other stuff. And then I got back and I was just like, hey, what's the deal with the dash cam? Because I don't want to be like I said something so he could go back and listen it'll be gone now

it was months ago but I said what's the deal with the dash cam he's like oh I don't know when the guy hit me I just like plugged it into the computer

and it or the phone it connects to the phone via an app and it just can pull down like the last however many minutes or sections you want

I was like oh okay I've just always been quite interested in them imagine like finding someone and then you sit at home anxious for a week. Just waiting for it.

Because the dash cam, you would have seen the person on the side of the road. Oh, my God. That's funny. So I said, ha, ha, ha, why? They've mentioned it before as we have one. And I've mentioned it again on this trip. Because my parents are in Australia. Won't shut up about it.

And we saw one at super cheap auto and they were looking at about $299 it's not the kind of gift that like you're not going to pull the footage out and be like

oh god that was a great drive into Hamilton I know what are you what are you going to do doesn't try and I said why would they want that

doesn't they don't trust drivers in Auckland when they're coming to see you see this is my brother putting it on me it's my fault Auckland trash my in Auckland when they're coming to see you. See, this is my brother putting it on me. It's my fault. Yeah, yeah.

Auckland trash. My fault. Because when they go, they spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars to go to his house in Australia. Yeah. And then they have to catch the train up with people who will probably stab them. And then he picks them up. As opposed to the one hour drive to yours. He doesn't trust drivers in Auckland.

They had someone cut them off on the motorway. But they've never had an accident, have they? So once, now we're installing a dash cam. So they could upload a picture. Mum's also not the sort of person that would upload a picture to the local Facebook page being like, I was cut off by this person. Name and shame. Yeah, name and shame.

This arsehole let it out the window. Mum wouldn't know how to do that. And there's no insurance incentive to having a dash cam, right? No. I don't know if there is. It would clarify should there be an accident. And again, it would just put you in trouble if it was your fault. 100%.

Following distance. My parents are very cautious drivers. Yeah, right. But... See, I just don't... What a waste of... Buy something they can have in their house or use every day. Yeah, there must be something else they need.

A dash cam must be so far down the list of... Dad would just find it a fascinating technology. You know how Dad sees things and they don't know anything. How does that work, then? Yeah. How does that... Like, when he came to my place and he was like, what's that?

I was like, it's a Starlink satellite. Oh, yeah. He's like, how does it get the internet? I'm like, it bounces off the satellites. He's like... Looking for them? You can't fucking see them, Dan. It doesn't mean he wants one. He's like, how does he get the internet? I'm like, it bounces off the satellites. He's like, looking for them? You can't fucking see them, Dan.

He doesn't even want one. He's just fascinated by it. He'd have no use for it. So anyway, but what else? There's nothing else. I'm waiting for my sister to chime in.

What about a nice voucher for a lovely nearby restaurant? You know, experience is not crap. That'd be nice. That's what I'd go to. My brother does, that's not on his radar.

Your brother doesn't like vouchers either. No, no, he doesn't like eating somewhere expensive and being like, man, wasn't that an amazing experience? He'll be like, we could have mashed potatoes at home. We could have had mashed potatoes ten times over for that. Like your brother, eh? Such a boomer. He always has been.

Ever since he was a kid, he's always been a boomer. And he spewed in the hotel room and left. That's right. Oh, I know. Oh, God. Here we go. 20 years, six months later. And he still hasn't the hotel room and left. That's right. Oh, I know. Hasn't been a good time. Here we go. 20 years, six months later. And he still hasn't apologised.

No. Fletch will never talk to him again. I'll never talk to him again. That's fair enough. I barely talk to him. As you can see, by the last time I talked to him, it was the 14th of January.
