Outro: The Best Laid Plans - Kevin Gilbert
I knew Staten Island’s “New Dorp” must be named after something with a weird Dutch name but I was not expecting the namesake to also be “Nieuwdorp”

Drastic shift of tone after 5 minutes.
Theo, yes, you do help people.
It is a lot in one way, but at the same time it is not.
If we are good people in the world we will help a lot of people without ever knowing it.
You guys have the privilege of knowing it where most of us will never know if a smile at a distressed person saved a life or at least a day.

Welcome to 2025, Boonts of Vista~ You all make my morning routine much nicer ♡ Except for the RIPping report which is genuinely upsetting ♡♡

I’m glad I pay Boonta Vista to be my life coaches, instead of spending money on pyjamas. It’s basically a price-point issue, but still, it just feels right.

Honestly if everything else in my life went to absolute shit I think I would still stick around to hear the next boontavista episode. You could find me delirious in some ditch giggling to ”big egg”.

Something like 8 or 9 years ago, there was a restaurant in my town, Louisville, KY, that got Flavor Flav to do a Cameo advertising their vegan Frito pie, and it was the funniest thing passed around on social media for awhile

receipt at the grocery store offered me the chance to do sports betting on the grocery store's new sports betting app and i immediately had the kill bill sirens go off in my head

I totally listen to this podcast to cope 😭❤️🩹 love you guys and love Theo’s intro as always.
This podcast particularly helped me survive 2 years ago when I was doing my masters in the UK (I’m Australian) and I literally felt like I was on an alien planet every day. Boonta Vista helps me feel Normal. Now I work in an office (Australian public service) and your podcast helps me as I fight for my life in Excel. Thank you for everything!!!!!

The credits finish playing.
Fade in to a scene of a dishevelled man hunched over a desk with some architectural plans on it, scribbling in a notepad.
From offscreen a mysterious, distinctly Australian voice intones "You're a hard man to find Mr Kaczynski".
The man at the desk looks up, startled. He exclaims "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The Australian stranger gives a half smile and continues "I'm Theo from Boonta Vista, we're putting together a team. We're calling it the 'Somebody should Do Something' initiative"
Cut to black.

i’ve been listening to the podcast for about six months now and i really identify with Theo’s intro. Boonta Vista has made me feel more insane and human and connected all at the same time. thanks for all you do.

the late stage capitalism reality of desperately wanting to do things like crocheting or getting back into baking but you're middle aged and single and have adhd so every ounce of mental and physical energy you have goes to job and chores but it's great! it's a wonderful system! i definitely never idly consider driving off a bridge into the missouri river on my way to work (only sometimes, and only idly) 😭🤣
pls ask eleanor to dedicate a boule to this psychically numb seppo 🖤

I don't know what sicko volumes the Americans have, but 375ml _is_ the wrong amount for a can, 330ml is the correct, God-given volume for a can. That means that a 6-pack is a essentially two liters!

alternately hilarious and heartwarming, with an entire segment of "oh fuck i want to blow my brains out/Do Something". a perfect Boonta Vista episode to welcome the new year
