New Christmas tradition just dropped

[@noahlikesrap]

we here

[@Mahkolo]

Crying whilst hearing an old story about a tree and it‘s lost youth. Laughing at the comment about Dickens being annoyed at Andersen. Joe has the range.

[@pla9012]

I grew up with a neighbour, who in the fourth grade, said he wanted to be a tree farmer when he grew up. Amazingly, he grew up and became a tree farmer.

[@1950sAmericanFather]

How can you not love this dude?

[@greenmarcosu]

He is a true national treasure. I wish more people knew about Joe Pera. I think they would benefit and the world would be a better place.

[@snuggys56]

You people blissfully unaware of the Joe Pera Genocide in 98’. 23 dead 3 injured

[@WaldoCarmen]

Socialism, man.

[@Aceofspades737]

I loved his special

[@harrywilliamson11]

Ive had to rewatch this 5 times now because I fallen asleep everytime and I genuinely don't remember it

[@dynamiketiger]

Like Mr. Rogers, Joe Pera has brought a peace to my soul and has made me slow down and be grateful for all God’s gifts, and my life is so much better now, and I love him for that! 😊❤️🙌

[@hothonda2k2]

So excited to listen tonight for bedtime . Sometimes it’s fun getting old . Bless you all this holiday season .

[@realsetanta70]

Nicely said! Bless you too.

[@CSM100MK2]

Bless my D

[@MoonchildDontCry]

Getting old is a privilege many many people don't get to experience

[@stevencharles9273]

Love this comment. Love Joe. Cheers

[@thepoppersshow]

Its the small things… The periods with a space . The quiet melancholy of “sometimes” . The kind gesture of blessing at the end . A sweet old woman, hothonda2k2 🥹

Joe Pera, the gift that keeps on giving!

[@mughill551]

I wanna say thank you Joe Pera for creating this podcast. I am about to fail my semester of college and I always had trouble sleeping from the stress of college. A lot of your content is really relatable from the clarinet episode to your Slow and Steady comedy special your content made me feel less alone and made me more comfortable in my own skin. It's been a good year. Merry Christmas

[@S4RGE007]

Fk college

[@JG-zk4vt]

Passed my math class by 2% this semester you got this bro.

[@sgthealey]

How did it go?

[@mughill551]

​@@sgthealey I apologize for the late reply. I got a C and a D in two classes and two F's two other classes. Although I failed I am taking less classes and working on time management from home, work and college. I am glad that I failed, because it is truly one of the first failures I have ever had, and has given me more purpose to improve and continue on living. Joe Pera is really good for studying. I used to listen to music and lofi but it's become very distracting from using it too much. His max drift is also very helpful for doing my school work, and I could not be more grateful for that.

[@brainbreedy]

This guy is a blessing... the smart and challenging combination of humour, talent, and the desire of remaining true to somewhat soulful and discrete humanity. A voice ment ment be heard. How audacious Who could do better !

[@cheriereese-c4g]

Merry Christmas, Joe

[@Twentyinch_Hubs]

Having a rough time this Christmas and that tree story has me sobbing.

[@DanManBanz]

This community is here for you ❤ everything will be ok. We all have to push through. We love you 😊

[@peterfslife]

Well, It's the Night Before Thanksgiving, and as usual, I'm sick, due to the cold weather. I have a VERY weak immune system, live on a ventilator, and am ALWAYS sick on Christmas, and pretty much from around October, until April. I've decided that sick or not, on Christmas night, I'm going to listen to this. I'm so grateful that I have someone to talk me to sleep when I don't feel well. Sleeping on Christmas is never easy for me, when I'm trying to breathe, and clear my lungs, and I have a fever. But maybe this video will help me a little bit.

[@leslievincent8565]

I wish you a very peaceful Christmas. I wish I could hand you a mug of golden milk, and a dose of elderberry syrup, and a jigger of fire cider ❤

[@sawyerstudio]

Joe's selection of musical guests is impeccable

[@internalwhack9638]

started listening to this podcast right before i graduated high school. it was right after a real bad breakup and after a guy i had been friends with since elementary school got into a huge fight over something stupid. helped me fall asleep for the first time in a week that night. has helped me drift off on quite a few sleepless dark nights. if you read this Joe thank you.

[@emmaobrien1376]

The audio mixing on these is always so good. Thanks, Joe and team.

[@TheKijib]

"try not to think about where my tax dollars are going" based Joe

[@billriddle9215]

Joe Pera needs to be made a saint.

[@Spritofjazz]

I’d like to take the time to thank sweet lil baby Jesus during this, the time of his birth, for making Joe Pera. And i’d like to thank Joe Pera for making these videos that continue to bring us solace in these trying times that keep us up at night. I also bet he makes or knows someone who makes a pretty mean blackberry cobbler. My favorite. And now that I think about it I’m sorry to Blackberry cobbler, there’s nothing mean about it. I shouldn’t have said that.

[@blaketibaldi2524]

The sound effect that were added make your reading of "The Fur Tree" into a genuine masterpiece. They are subtle enough that you don't notice them and perfectly timed so that they add and blend with the image building in your mind. Well done!

[@AphexTwinPeaks]

I’m putting this series on my best albums of the year list. Even though it’s a podcast, it could and should all be on music services as well. It’s an excellent spoken word / ambient masterpiece.

[@biglangly]

Thank you so much Joe. That story was exactly what I needed to hear.

[@couchdpotato]

As a victim of insomnia I have never been more grateful to have Joe put me into a bedtime coma without ever taking a single sleeping pill. More than comedy my dude you are mind therapy for so many like myself... Thank you brother, thaannk you.

[@desertedislander]

I was feeling bad today, but Joe's word choice and cadence really comfort me.

[@PaidtoDrive]

Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals... Happy Holidays Everyone!

[@jackelewish1568]

I don't need to be forgiven yeahyeayeaa

[@Ted_K_Have_a_nice_day]

[@leslievincent8565]

There's no need to fight, to prove I'm right

[@BB_writes]

Joe Pera's voice helps me so much. Love the sleep podcast!

[@JRock-rz3td]

Mr Pera you are a delightful breath of fresh air in this smog filled world 💜👍

[@apelincoln1616]

We need more people like Joe Pera in this world

[@brycecurtis8483]

[@hamig306]

soon as dude said The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey. I smiled very loudly

[@wesleyhempoli5548]

Really glad I discovered joe. What a peace guy, and he's as good a listener as he is a speaker.

[@315peaks]

Discovering Joe Pera was my christmas gift. I’ve been rewatching and listening to the podcast over and over for the last year, a soothing way to sleep or relax. What a wonderful man, I hope next year brings you amazing opportunities.

[@maadzisrekt8423]

[@knightscroftsquire-muldoon]

This has to be my favorite episode (followed by the video games episode). Thank you Mr.Pera, I hope you much success with your stand up, tranquility, and this audio show! Many thanks.

[@mnchls]

with Mary as a guest, i think we can officially call Joe an ambient comedian

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Thank you Joe ❤ for everything you do for us

[@christophero3869]

Nothing beats sipping on a vintage Snoopy mug of hot cocoa while listening to my pal Joe Pera.

[@SwitchSilver]

I was depressed as hell at the end of the story and that little tidbit about Dickens being annoyed at HCA did make me feel better. Thank you Joe ❤

[@chrisd5964]

Thanks Joe, let’s remember it’s Christmas for squirrels too. ❤

[@PLANTBAT]

I love you man, my wife and I are big fans. You could talk about almost anything and I’d listen intently. 🙏🎄 I hope you and whoever reads this has a great holiday

[@jacquelinecrow8864]

My insomnia has been the worst lately and I know this will do the trick. Thank you Joe!

[@KilimnikGenya]

Thanks Joe Pera! Your sleep talk downs are the best imo. I use a bunch but with yours I usually get a good laugh in right before you bore me to sleep which is nice and appreciated. I enjoy your sleep talk downs quite a lot and have listened to each multiple times.

[@MyPitbullRooster]
