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 ZM Podcast Network, it's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. I would like to take this Little Bit of Pod to talk about something I've noticed. How kids, especially girls, wish each other happy birthday. Oh, okay. Cause this is, it's my niece's birthday.

I've got a 14 year old niece. How wild is that? Which means you must have a 14 year old niece. Cause we both actually, do you know what? It's great now at Christmas. You're not as fucking full on. Yeah.

They're a bit more chill. Really? A bit more cooler. And they're two years away from me. Like fuck up uncle Carl. Yeah. Oh, I wish I named it fuck up. They're two years away from me like, fuck up, Uncle Carl. Yeah. I wish I named it fuck up.

They're two years away from being like, Uncle Carl, Uncle Carl, come get me, don't tell Dan. Don't tell Grandma, don't tell Dan. I had 18 purple Kiwanis. I'm in the big city, Uncle Carl. How did you, when you were 14, how would you have wished your friends as a teenage girl happy birthday? We did a flower. Everyone at my high school got a single flower from New World. It was the thing.

It was a geranium. Okay. Love a geranium. Everyone got geraniums. And then maybe I would have done like a MySpace post. From who? The school? No, no, no.

From all the girls at the school. Well, you would pull together like a workplace and all put in five girls. No, no, no. You would all individually that morning get off the bus, go past New World, get your flower. Oh, so New World was just making bank off geraniums from St. Margaret's. Queen Margaret College. Queen Margaret's, not St. Margaret's. No, St. Margaret's is down in Christchurch.

Shannon, you said your school does balloons. Yeah, so when I was in high school, the whole thing would be you would bring one balloon for your friend and then you would walk around with these huge bunches of balloons and the cooler you were, the more balloons you had. Sounds like the flowers. The cooler you were, the more flowers you had. I would have just bought my own packets of balloons but they would like sign it it was like a very clear helium no no no no no no i wouldn't even drag in they wouldn't be dragging poor that's private school for you imagine being so popular but it was helium it

was so popular at the end of the day you floated away like oh my god you're like i'm so cool look how cool i am i don't want everyone to see how cool i am Oh my God, you're like, I'm so cool. Let go of the fucking balloons, you're going to die. Look how cool I am. But I don't want everyone to see how cool I am. Well, how are kids wishing each other happy? So this is my niece wishing my other niece, not her sister, cousins. Yeah. This is happy birthday to my superstar cousin.

Even though we don't get to see each other as much as I'd like, I just want you to know how proud I am of you and how much you mean to me. Watching you shine on and off the netball court is seriously inspiring you're absolutely killing it i hope your day is filled with love laughter and a bit of well-deserved rest because you're scoring unless you're scoring goals today too keep being a strong talented amazing person you are wishing you nothing but happiness and success and good vibes this year miss you and love you lots is that ai and no i don't That's just how kids write each other. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I was like, HPD. HPD. HPD. I get birthday, y'all, is how most of my friends say happy birthday. I don't even bother now unless they're really good friends. Yeah, like Facebook. Also, she made a slideshow, and she puts it up publicly. Yeah.

And then tags in the birthday girl. It's a big sort of public showing. This is what it's like whenever Indy and her friends are having a birthday. Calm down. No one inspires me like you do. I love that young people are expressing their gratitude for their friends. Shannon has just sent us a photo through of her on her 14th birthday. Oh my God, you look exactly the same as you do now.

With my CamWow retro filter on as well. Wow. It's real cool. I'm counting 14 friends, 14 balloons. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's good for takings. Yeah, so you can see people used to sign them

and like identify themselves because it was also a way to like stake your claim as a friend. It was a big thing. Yeah. Okay. Right. And so if you were like, you're my bestie, would I get you a bigger balloon?

More sort of pizzazzy, maybe a foil? Yeah. Well, I think it was on the best friend to organise the ribbon as well because you had to kind of attach, you can all see it's kind of a cluster. Yeah, of course.

You would tie them on as the day went on. Fun. It was fun. Do you guys remember when it was my birthday? We were all down in Queenstown and we woke up

and the boys had forgotten and didn't say happy birthday to me. Yeah. It was a prank. It was a prank. It wasn't a prank. It was fun. Do you guys remember when it was my birthday? We were all down in Queenstown and we woke up and the boys had forgotten and didn't say happy birthday to me. Yeah. It was a prank. It was a prank. It was a prank. It was a prank. It was a harmless prank and no one's feelings were hurt.

That's the most important thing here. You're definitely still not bringing it up years later. Yeah. No. Well, it was literally the last birthday and I tell you what, what day is my birthday this year? Because if it's on a weekend, I'll be pissed off. That sucked day when you were at high school and your birthday was on the weekend. No one did any flowers.

No, mine's always the school holidays. Yeah, mine's Matariki this year. I'll be pissed off. That sucked day when you were at high school and your birthday was on the weekend. No one did any flowers.

Wait, is your birthday then mine? What day is it?

It happens every year. You always go, you've stolen my birthday weekend. She's stealing my fucking birthday again this year. Yeah, what a bitch. Even after you asked her to move it. Mine's on a Wednesday, so we can make a fuss. I did ask you to move it last year. Now what day are you again? I'm the 20th
