Just focus on the most concrete part of your life. Appreciate that and branch out. From there, you can begin to feel confident and grateful about the rest of it. Trust me, it takes time
I love you. You have always been there for me when I needed it most, when everyone else in my life has gone. Thank you Joe Pera. These (any contents from you) are the most comforting thing in my life and have been for going on 10 years.
Joe, I may not be using this to aid in sleep - yet, as I go through a healing in my chronic illness - it is with great gratitude I turn here to calmed and put to ease in my body. As an academic, it's a pleasure to hear you divulge into the many interests of the world.
You got this, I know it's hard, but I know you're strong. The fact you haven't turned into the people that hurt you, already shows how strong you truly are. Never, EVER forget that my friend.
Thanks! My girlfriend and I love love love your videos. We couldn’t make it to your Tulsa show last month. Hope you come down around Dallas area soon. We will buy you one of the best bowls of soup you’ve ever had! Much love from Akbar and Sabaa
Joe, I was lucky enough to discover your work late last night, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am. I don’t have trouble falling asleep, but I do battle intrusive thoughts, and have been going through an especially tough time mentally the last few days. Your shows have brought a peace and calm back into my conscious, and they remind me of the simple things and how every person has an amazing story they’ve lived through and sometimes we just need to listen. I needed this, I truly did. Thank you
I always had a lot of nostalgia for the 70s decorating books and magazines as my grandma always had a big stack of them from the 60s and 70s and the design styles were just amazing as a kid and the holidays photo spreads of decorating just about everything and the dinner wares were like really impressive as we were never going to do things like that but it was just interesting and neat to see it,even it was just something a well-to-do family with a hired decorator would be able to do. My parents had quite a few decor items that still are in the old house today, like the big burnt orange upside down funnel fireplace that was totally a 60s/70s thing and odd chrome chandelier made of thin curved pipes and had big white glass spheres for the lights and a big hanging pendulum light ball that is chrome with a basketball size glass ball cover. Had some really cool rocking chairs that were very mod and comfortable, in a dark green and dark orange and golden color scheme, but they let someone borrow it and never got it back.
Hi from South Africa! Doubt you will see this, but want to thank you for helping to soothe some very difficult times for me. From calming my anxiety to guiding me to some much needed rest. I have no doubt you offer a lot to people all over the world.
So educational...yet peaceful. I somehow absorb all of the information, without even knowing. What a Gift. I’m glad that you use these forces for good. I love you.
How interesting! I grew up with key limes in my backyard. All the wood was covered in layers and layers of peeling white paint. The paint on the deck boards was gray -- the only gray I can remember back then; we didn't have much gray. There were no fireplaces in that region, too hot. Once after a sun shower I slipped on the wet gray wood and caught enough air to clear a pub table, but I surprisingly, did not get hurt. However I slipped right into the ocean. A were-angel on vacation from Iowa helped me but he did not let me back on dry land. Instead, he threw rings in the water which he made me retrieve until I learned to regulate my breathing. This way I would never need anyone's help again. We were married that same year. However, we divorced the following year due to an argument over who landed on the moon first -- but I learned so much from him and as you can see, I've not drown. Yet. Ha-ha. I'm afraid that's where our similarities end, Joe, but it's amazing how the lives of two strangers can parallel if only for a moment. I hope you have a wonderful evening.💜
Hey Joe! I just wanted to share with you.. I've watched all of your; Joe Pera Talks With You episodes several times over, and absolutely love them! You are genuinely one of heroes, Joe. And I think you're an amazing person.
Hey Joe. Just wanted to say I use this series, and especially this episode, to help bring me down from panic attacks. I hope you continue the series in the future, man. I need more blueberry harvest reports to calm me down in the Trader Joe’s bathroom. (The nicest of all grocery store bathrooms.)
Great job, Joe. Love it. I'm hoping your show will continue... someday soon! Everyone I've shared your show with has become an instant fan and have watched your shows more than once.
Joe you delivered on your promise to see whether you could read anything and it be entertaining, this may be my favourite episode, thankyou for consistently putting out great content.
The algorithm sent joe my way after several nights in a row of falling asleep to Dr. Katz. Thanks algorithm. Joe is just as good for that. Slept just as good.
This is so fantastic. Im glad i got to see you in dallas when you came to the tx theater. It was such a fun, relaxing, surreal time. Unique characters like you dont come around often. Keep being your own special brand of comedy, relaxation, and whatever you want out of life.
It is odd, id never heard the term before and we even had swimming training in elementary school grades, 7-8 where we were bussed to the city indoor pool. I never had an issue with sinking, i typically had to kinda fight to dive under at first but tended to keep rising. Lol Anyway, i always learn something new when watching/listening to his shows.
Thank you, Joe. I really appreciate these videos. These have helped me fall asleep better than anything else. No clue why, obviously you put a lot of effort into making them relaxing and that velvety voice helps. But these have a quality I can’t quite put my finger on. Again, I appreciate it. Thank you.
About 15 minutes in I fell asleep. Its nice to have something genuinely interesting to listen to. Unfortunately autoplqy put on a different video which woke me up. Still fell back asleep in a few minutes. I love the little articles and things, especially Picasso not caring about the moon landing.
I really liked hearing the alternative speech based on the moon landing. It’s kinda like a chance to look into an alternate universe of what could have hapoened
Here is your much-deserved hundredth comment, Joe. Did you ever listen to Prairie Home Companion growing up? You have the same gentle humor and soothing quality of that old radio broadcast.
Hello everyone. Sorry to enter the comment section without knocking first, but the door was already open and no one could hear me over Baba O'Riley on the radio. I won't take up too much of your time, I have to get home to take some rolls out of the oven, anyway. I was just hoping that if Joe Pera ever sees this, I might kindly ask him for a future episode where instead of talking me to sleep, he helps start my morning. It'd be nice to hear his take on the potential of each new day. I'll happily trade a can of my homemade brown bread, my dad's bean soup recipe, or an embrassing picture of me from the fifth grade for the episode. Have a good night and please consider my proposal. I'll see you all at school tomorrow. Goodbye.
Loving Joe's work, just a quick question, around 11:20, he goes into a story about what happened if the astronauts died, I know it sounds odd, but the voice, combined with the music, really vibe with me, I find myself repeated just that part, is there actually a whole story that that Joe??
I'm not freaking out about my life anymore. I think I can handle it. I think I can learn to be grateful for my life.
you can make it through this Jonathan Franzen. I believe in you.
Let go and let God

Nah fuxk that positivity bruh. Im drownin 😩

As someone with terrible anxiety which flares up at night, this is wonderful
You got this, I know it's hard, but I know you're strong. The fact you haven't turned into the people that hurt you, already shows how strong you truly are. Never, EVER forget that my friend.
@@blizzyblob 😅😅
Find God brother. Only help.

Much love from Akbar and Sabaa
Where do I get a girlfriend who likes Joe Pera too
Me@@swayzeeeeeeeeee
@@swayzeeeeeeeeeethere are plenty I’m sure. My wife of 35 years thinks he’s great, after I showed him to her. We listen nightly.
Joe, you should make an episode about screws. The little unsung heroes keeping our civilization fastened together for hundreds of years.
Cold idea
That’s a good idea
Thank you joe, for providing a bounty of hope in this lonely life.
Joe,

Nothing but this gentle boy works for me now. He is all i sleep to. I do wish the music was slightly lower volume, i hope thats not rude.
Hi from South Africa!
Doubt you will see this, but want to thank you for helping to soothe some very difficult times for me. From calming my anxiety to guiding me to some much needed rest. I have no doubt you offer a lot to people all over the world.
I'm glad there are other south Africans are liking this niche material 💌
Should definitely do more like this one, Joe. Relaxing and learning simultaneously is honestly pretty great.
I love you Joe Pera. Thank you for the peace you bring into my life.
Oh boy, I'll be drifting off to sleep tonight. Thank you, Joe.
I just had the best nap, initiated by this video. This may become a regular habit.
When Sunday passed and no video was posted, I was sad. So glad theyre still coming! Can't wait to listen to this one
Joe Pera OWES YOU a schedule!
F you Pera! 😉
I listened to Joe the whole time I was trying to fall asleep and didn't hear a word he said. Mission accomplished. :)
One of my favorites so far. Fantastic episode. I would listen to you read from encyclopedias every month!
So educational...yet peaceful. I somehow absorb all of the information, without even knowing. What a Gift. I’m glad that you use these forces for good. I love you.
I'm freaking out right now I can't wait to listen to this new Joe Pera video ❤❤❤❤❤
Joe you're a outstanding person. Thank you for this nice and chill content it helps to sleep. 🙂
This show is helping me through my crippling Advil PM withdrawals, thanks Joe!
How interesting!

I'm afraid that's where our similarities end, Joe, but it's amazing how the lives of two strangers can parallel if only for a moment. I hope you have a wonderful evening.💜
The way I would sell every organ in my body to have an episode where he just constantly talks about food
Hey Joe!
I just wanted to share with you.. I've watched all of your; Joe Pera Talks With You episodes several times over, and absolutely love them!
You are genuinely one of heroes, Joe. And I think you're an amazing person.
I have tried to listen 3 times to the end, and have fallen asleep 3 times trying. Success!
Hey Joe. Just wanted to say I use this series, and especially this episode, to help bring me down from panic attacks. I hope you continue the series in the future, man. I need more blueberry harvest reports to calm me down in the Trader Joe’s bathroom. (The nicest of all grocery store bathrooms.)
Thanks so much for this Joe you’ve seriously changed an aspect of my life and I couldn’t be more grateful!
Great job, Joe. Love it. I'm hoping your show will continue... someday soon! Everyone I've shared your show with has become an instant fan and have watched your shows more than once.
Joe you delivered on your promise to see whether you could read anything and it be entertaining, this may be my favourite episode, thankyou for consistently putting out great content.
I was not ready for that Picasso quote lmfao
this episode is my favorite, Joe! It's so soothing, i could listen to this episode 20 times over again
The algorithm sent joe my way after several nights in a row of falling asleep to Dr. Katz.
Thanks algorithm. Joe is just as good for that. Slept just as good.
Just wonderful.
joe you're awesome, and also to anyone else reading this, you're fucking awesome too
Just saw joe in Salt Lake tonight. What a treat. I brought my sister and was delighted to introduce a new fan to Joe's work!
This is so fantastic. Im glad i got to see you in dallas when you came to the tx theater. It was such a fun, relaxing, surreal time. Unique characters like you dont come around often. Keep being your own special brand of comedy, relaxation, and whatever you want out of life.
just binged all the other episodes last night this makes my day
Can't speak to those passages most relaxing in your voice but you di reminding me of the yellow pages.
Joe, as a faculty member at Georgia Tech, I loved your discussion of drownproofing! ❤
It is odd, id never heard the term before and we even had swimming training in elementary school grades, 7-8 where we were bussed to the city indoor pool.
I never had an issue with sinking, i typically had to kinda fight to dive under at first but tended to keep rising. Lol
Anyway, i always learn something new when watching/listening to his shows.
My favorite episode by far, could listen to him read anything
I always get ecstatic about these when they release.
Joe Pera is the only reason I can sleep at night
You're right about the 70s. My grandparents had red and black shag carpet. I love the retro. It puts you in a place of time.
Thanks!
I was listening for about 5 minutes and then out like a light, thanks Joe
I absolutely loved this episode, especially you talking about Maine blueberries.
I love Joe Pera more than I love my father and once I said that to my father and he said yeah me too
Thank you, Joe. I really appreciate these videos. These have helped me fall asleep better than anything else. No clue why, obviously you put a lot of effort into making them relaxing and that velvety voice helps. But these have a quality I can’t quite put my finger on. Again, I appreciate it. Thank you.
The guest interviews are nice but I like the one on one Joe time as well 👍
About 15 minutes in I fell asleep. Its nice to have something genuinely interesting to listen to. Unfortunately autoplqy put on a different video which woke me up. Still fell back asleep in a few minutes. I love the little articles and things, especially Picasso not caring about the moon landing.

Joe Pera's wonderful, thank you.
You're a real treasure Joe.
Joe pls pls make more of these if you have time it makes me sleep so good
Hearing that speech about the Apollo 11 blew my mind! It was surreal, and the music, oh my god.
Sp happy that you make sleep content! These are the best Joe!
I always love when these drop.
The passage on texture is gorgeous.😊
Joe Pera is an inspiration to us all
We love and appreciate ya Joe 😊
My favorite podcast! I feel so good
I love these so much!
Here is your much-deserved hundredth comment, Joe. Did you ever listen to Prairie Home Companion growing up? You have the same gentle humor and soothing quality of that old radio broadcast.
This worked so well I fell asleep like 6 minutes in last night👍🏻
when he said goodnight, i froze and quickly checked my phone in fear😭 i love falling asleep to these videos
Listening to Joe reading from the Press Herald. What a treat ❤

Wonderful fam, good work❤
Looking forward to the local music store episode next month🤘🏼🤓
Joe Pera you are beloved
Love you Joe ❤
Thank you Joe.
I wish adult swim would bring your show back. I loved your show.
I have an aboriginal friend whose animal is the emu, they can’t eat emu’s and they and the emu’s are one in the same.
There are few things I look forward to more than new Joe content
🍅🍅🍅🍅
I think chestnuts are the unsung heros of the nut family.
The shaman joe pera!!!!
I cant wait to fall asleep to this later

That Picasso quote made me laugh too.
goodnight joe!
This Sal Vulcano’s clone from Impractical Jokers 😂😂😂 listen to his voice😂😂😂
I have found that place where I belong.. aahhh.😊
Thanks Joe
