**Terminal Velocity** is episode 71 of the podcast, [[start#About the Show|Boonta Vista]]. This episode was released on 28-Oct-2018. 

===== Description ===== 
I had to skim the episode to figure out what we talked about. Hot martinis, fake Australian accents, the origins of actor David Caruso's name, what movie to pair with Hudson Hawke, collecting VHS and accidentally falling from a very high building among other things.CW: Suicide talk, but it's mostly very silly. Sorry. 

===== Intro Scenario =====
^Summary^Written by^
|No intro scenario. Andrew, Ben and Theo spend some quality time dunking on Irish Coffee, insulting a nation that has already suffered enough.||

===== Episode Notes =====

The hosts are fairly clear in this epsode that they're chafing a bit with the Australian News format by this point. Theo unknowingly previews a Theophiles by talking about the Halifax explosion at around 45m. Lucy's in the process of moving to Hawaii for this and the next few episodes.
