Joe should be the voice of the emergency broadcast system. "Hello. I'm Joe Pera. The following is a test of the emergency broadcast system. Uh. There is no reason to be alarmed......."

[@cleoharper1842]

You just made my night.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

Can't possibly be alarmed when Joe Pera's voice is there.

[@savage_the_wild]

This comment is criminally underrated

[@AbstractPragmatism]

You guys really need to convince Joe to join the Townsends staff full time, he and Jon make a great team. I don't know how much Adult Swim pays, but you guys can offer an excellent benefits package of 18th century clothing and all the ye olde food he can eat.

[@erinbailey4631]

I’m sure a ration of coffee and some pie would go a long way!

[@ReesiesPeesies]

@@erinbailey4631 Don't forget some pemmican!

[@AbigailBGnath]

Plus a lifetime supply of nutmeg! Although I would be leary about their dental plan - might be a barber/dentist combo.

[@dena81]

If that's a benefits'package I would also like to inquire on how to join as IT support 🤣

Pera it's Italian surname!! Pera means Pear in Italian

[@VegasViking420]

@@chekkov2142 he's American though

[@chekkov2142]

@@VegasViking420 Of course, I was saying this because I am Italian and I immediately understood that the surname is Italian. Unfortunately, many Europeans were discriminated against, including Italians. Remember that many Europeans have helped the Americans to be independent from the British by fighting alongside the Americans. And the Italians gave the name of America and discovered it.

When he's done everything he wants to do with his tv show, I really hope he considers getting into audiobooks. I would pre-pay for him reading an old-timey journal like this one via Audible or something. It’s frankly embarrassing how much I would pay for a “Joe Pera Reads” collection of 18th century journals…

[@cleoharper1842]

That would be outstanding. I can't tell you how many Audiobooks I've returned because I just couldn't stand the narration. As a matter of fact I'd listen to anything John narrated as well. It's one of my favorite things he does on this channel.

[@Marlaina]

He would stop reading every once in a while to ask Jon what something means 😆

[@cleoharper1842]

@@Marlaina It was freaking adorable XD

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

I like how these could still be described with the title "Joe Pera Talks with You."

[@URProductions]

And they should be available both with and without him stopping every few paragraphs to share his random thoughts.

[@hawsroy]

this may be the best collab on youtube

[@BluestedSRT4]

I bet Joe never envisioned his three-legged stool he made would be doing double duty as a side table.

joe should really get into audio books id love to hear some random subject get explained for 15 hours by him

[@townsends]

Couldn't agree more!

[@WideAwakeHuman]

Joe was born to read books to people no doubt

[@fitzjolt]

I loved watching his show on Adult Swim. It's the next best thing.

[@randy-9842]

I definitely agree too. There's something very calming about his voice and manner. It may seem odd, but I also very much like that he occasionally stops to ask about a pronunciation or definition.

[@christopherbrice5473]

Bro wtf is that name

[@QuasarSniffer]

I love that you leave in Joe asking Jon for pronunciation guidance. Wonderful video!

[@reconphil]

Cymbeline is a rose with extremely rich myrrh fragrance. Lax large shrub or short climbing rose. Very free-flowering. Stunning blooms with unusual grey-pink colour and a swirling mass of petals. It is possible they boiled it to add flavor to the broth.

[@WordSmithForge1]

Thanks.

[@virginiagirl977]

[@d.aardent9382]

I was just reading an update story on the reintroduced Elk population in the Appalachians and a warning for people driving on the Blueridge Parkway to not approach Elk along the roads as they may charge and attack people and/or their vehicles if they feel threatened. They were saying that small herds of twenty may be blocking roads at times. There are more in Kentucky, at 13,000 plus. Only 450 - 500 in TN. There are several places with Bison ranges East of the Mississippi. So, we still have a few places in different states where ya can go see Bison running around and semi-natural. My region is Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tenn., Ohio.

[@cleoharper1842]

@@d.aardent9382 I appreciate what you're saying, and I'm glad for it - but a few places is just not enough.

[@rosemarygilman8718]

I really enjoyed having Joe read to us and I especially liked him sharing his thoughts about what he read at th end of the video. Great job guys!

[@kinghukr]

I don’t think I can imagine having most of my supplies plundered by buffaloes. On the other hand I haven’t eaten breakfast so I’m not sure with the toys about me.

[@karen4you]

I know a guy who was a widower who did not cook when he was 50 and he ate raw potatoes. He did marry again to a good cook. This was wonderful to listen to, thanks.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

I imagine they wouldn't have tasted quite as good to him as they did to Nicholas Cresswell in the wilderness.

[@IgneousExtrusive]

Odd. It doesn't take a particularly good cook to cook potatoes. You can just chuck em in the oven or even fire and they'll turn out alright.

[@karen4you]

@@IgneousExtrusive I agree, but I still know him, and he is super resistant to trying to cook. This part of his life would make a good story, of why he doesn't want to try to cook.

[@debbralehrman5957]

I know from personal experience Buffalo don't much care what is in their way. We had 6-8 of them walk through our camp site one morning. We were camping at the wildlife refuge outside of Lawton,OK. Good memories.

This channel spoils me. Thank you guys for making this happen. Much needed!

[@Bino5ive2wo]

This is just so awesome, can't believe Joe is a fan and collaborator

[@scottreece8678]

His voice has a effect that makes you forget you are watching this in 2021. He is an audio time traveler. Thank you Joe.

[@ThisSteveGuy]

This is wonderful! I just started watching the new season Joe Pera's Adult Swim show and I love it so much. Every episode is different from the last, it's all very inventive but it always has its heart in the right place. It's the opposite of mean-spirited, which is exactly what we need more of - I know I do.

[@FranklinGervacio]

Whoa whoa whoa we're gonna need a 2 hour video on all the work you've done on the cabin interior, perhaps narrated by Joe Pera reading.

[@alkberg2140]

Joe, I can't imagine you quarreling with anyone! I love the peacefulness in your voice.

You can't even understand how much joy it brought me to find Townsends/Joe Pera crossover going on. Its a match made in heaven too. Thanks so much for all the content, and definitely for these Joe Pera eps as well. They are just a joy to watch.

I like to think Joe Pera just wandered in from the woods one day and never left.

[@WayPointSurvival]

I actually like raw potatoes and have eaten them that way since I was little, they're best with a little salt. Great episode, thanks so much!

[@SarahM-lw2gd]

So have I!

[@gerdsfargen6687]

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@ryand.3858]

My wife does too. She grew up in Pennsylvania so maybe that has something to do with it. When I’m boiling potatoes she’ll often take a chunk before I dump them in the water and eat it raw with a pinch of salt. It’s not something I’m into but it’s cool to know that other people do it too. I just thought it might be a farmer thing.

[@greatwhitenorthlife2327]

I'd totally listen to an entire audio book of Joe reading the Cresswell Journals!

[@grimtilland6776]

What a great combination. I hope this continues. I've been watching this channel off and on for years now. The addition of Joe Pera is awesome.

I love this channel so much and the addition of Joe Pera has been something I never knew would make me love this channel more. His show on Adult Swim was fantastic and really hit close to home for me in regards to his relationship with his grandmother in the show. I am happy to see two things I love in one place, much love Townsends and Joe.

One of my colleagues in Berlin often eats and enjoys raw potatoes. So, it may not be such an odd victual after all. Raw onions were often eaten by themselves. But, it seems odd today that these items were enjoyed raw.

[@Maria_Erias]

I love raw potatoes, I used to sneak bits of them as a kid when I was peeling and cutting them up for roasts or mashed potatoes. Raw potatoes are also high in potassium, packing nearly as much as bananas.

[@zenkakuji3776]

@@Maria_Erias Thanks for sharing that. I think I might just try a nibble when I am preparing some potatoes next time....which will be tomorrow!

[@melissat7307]

@@Maria_Erias I have an aunt who eats raw potatoes for heartburn. I thought it was the weirdest thing when I was a kid, but she swore by it.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

That sounds like one of the things someone would mention at a party and then everyone else wouldn't believe them until they showed how they don't react to doing it.

[@Maria_Erias]

@@zenkakuji3776 Raw potatoes always reminded me of unsweet apples. They've got that crunch, that graininess to them, plus their own unique flavor depending on the variety. Russets are kind of earthy, Yukons and other golds or yellows have sort of a sweet flavor almost like a subdued carrot, and white potatoes have a very mild and indistinct flavor. What's really great to blow people's minds is to cube up raw potatoes and mix them into any kind of pasta or tomato salad that uses an oil and vinegar dressing. If you make the salad the day before and let it sit overnight, the potatoes will soak up all that dressing flavor, making them crunchy little flavor bursts.

[@ginalindsey8171]

Absolutely wonderful. I enjoy the atmosphere the two of you create. Very soothing and my imagination comes to life with these stories.

What a delightful surprise. I didn't realize you had any more videos with Joe Pera up your sleeve. Perfect timing too, I've haven't had a good day and helped me to relax a bit. I'm living in the UK and hadn't heard of Joe Pera until seeing him on Townsends. (which I watch all the time) I've now seen everything on You Tube that I can find of Joe, but there are few episodes of his first 2 seasons or his current one. I've looked up Adult Swim and to tell you the truth I don't think there is anything on it that I would much like, except for Joe. And I'm not even sure if I could access Adult Swim from the UK anyway.
