i can’t believe i’m getting this without paying $250,000

[@josef2012]

🤣👏👏👏

[@brosacmccranie4791]

I swear I feel like we’re in on a really special super secret😩

[@Archon_of_Freedom_]

​@@brosacmccranie4791 That's what I was thinking. We should feel special 😊

[@ShawnHumphrey]

This is pretty good. Not quite up to my favorite comfort movie, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" good - but pretty darn good.

[@judithbreastsler]

Drifting Off with Joe Perra is at the intersection of ASMR, Podcasting, Comedy, and Spoken Word. It's an ASMR, Spoken Word, Comedy Podcast.

[@tmtmtg]

This is the only pure thing left in my life.

[@newsflashbuddy]

I love that these are once a month because that’s about how long it takes me to listen to an episode and finally get through the whole thing without fully falling asleep.

[@carpeimodiem]

Same. The full playlist is my go-to, always starts with the newest episode.

[@van3158]

Thank you Joe, your episodes help me relax after a stressful day. I’m a 100% disabled veteran from the 2nd Iraq war, 2003-2005. Your channel is one of the best things on youtube, you and the Venture Bros were the best things on adult swim. I hope you have an amazing 4th!

ill never stop being upset about the show. these keep me floating. i feel like the house lights are on all the time, the dream is done but im still there. glad youre here, too, joe. it helps a lot. thank you so much for continuing to make your art

[@matts719]

I agree on his show. I couldn’t make any sense of it, as it seemed (to me) to be the most artistic and emotionally moving thing I had ever seen on adult swim, then I checked the ratings, apparently people don’t care about wholesome understated and cleverly clean comedy as much as we do. From a business perspective, I understood why Adult Swim dropped it. I think they could pop in another holiday special to let Joe finish the story of he, Sarah, and the land he bought. “Joe Pera builds a cabin with you” or something like that. Let him bring all those great characters together again and button it up properly.

[@TheLonelyPalm]

Please come back to television, Mr. Pera. We miss you.

[@Archon_of_Freedom_]

Agreed, we need more Joe Pera.

[@bosehpu]

whenever i hear that intro music all tension in my body disappears. i. love. you. joe. pera.

[@andrewrobertson5508]

I'm a simple man when it comes to Joe Pera. I see a new video, I click on it. Goodnight everyone

[@maxducks2001]

Hey Joe. I know you probably have a higher chance of reading this once the next episode releases in half a week, but I wanted to let you know how much this show helped me today. I moved out of my folks’ place a few weeks ago, and the physical and mental toll have been bad. I’ve started having panic attacks again, and it’s sometimes hard to leave the apartment without getting really nervous. So twice today, even though I wasn’t sleeping, I turned this show on, and I listened to it on my car ride to help calm me down. So now I’m back home in bed, enjoying a chili dog at 3 AM with this on. So yeah. Thank you, Joe. I can’t wait for this Sunday.

[@jameswebb3389]

Still can't believe my man Joe Pera was in Peter Sohn's Elemental. What a lovely pair

[@AK-ms5cm]

Thanks for another episode. I failed The Perfect Egg Bite earlier today and needed this.

[@hamig306]

i mastered it today and still needed this

[@lumpyeuphoria5688]

Very Euphoric

[@BernonCars]

Just what I need at the end of my day! I listen once to sleep and then once again to actually listen LOL

[@VampiriaOddiss]

Still want to see you as the new James Bond who lives in Philadelphia, eats Boar Head lunch sandwiches, watches guitar tutorials on KZbin, and is afraid of dogs. I'm stoked, Joe!

[@IsuiGtz]

I just hit play but thank you. It's all been so hard. I can barely live, and don't have a friend; this is the closest thing for me. What stories would this gentle soul tell us this time?. Now that's real "hype" for me. Thank you.

[@violinsinthevoid4579]

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struggling. Hang in there. Joe Pera is a lifeline for so many!

[@dawnjohnson8739]

😢things change. I keep that in mind when things get horrible.

[@kimberlybogert7031]

I'm so sorry 😟I wish you the best in life.🌺🌸

[@dennybecton]

Oh I’m so glad the Hobbit joke is still going

[@matthewbaker7513]

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

[@yahiko7448]

Going through a rough patch in my life that’s lasted a long time and I’m losing hope, I’m tired in the worst way, I’m getting kicked out by family from where I live rn and hardly no time my mental healths never been worse but I’ve never been the type to cry or tell anyone so I think when I’m gone people won’t know why and I’m not sure if they’ll even want answers but I just can’t sleep can’t eat and can’t go on thank you joe for helping me to sleep calm and faster for a little longer

[@fknutz4400]

You'll never believe it, but this upload schedule syncs perfectly with my sporadic sleep schedule. When I close my eyes is when I can see them is the problem

[@KilimnikGenya]

Thanks Joe!

[@p344y]

Joe Pera is a gift and he must be protected at all costs

[@_kevincarpio_]

Hey Joe, I'm so glad that you're still keeping at it and making wonderful content. Your conversation with Peter about finding bits of clarity while being dead tired reminded me of a book a read called The Courage to Create by Rollo May. If you or anyone else reading this is a fan of books, it goes into why it is that we find eureka moments like that. Hope all is well with you.

[@user-od5dr3iw7m]

All the problems from this awful summer and day drifting away every word at a time

[@user-je4pk4pn9x]

This is real treasure

[@sapphire_willow]

The envisioning of the future took quite a turn towards the end of it.

[@heartofchambers]

if i would die in a submarine, i hope i could hear joe pera drifting off one last time

[@BenRK90]

That ending derailed so fast!

[@carpeimodiem]

Instead of beer, maybe try a "warm apple" night. And maybe make a song up about it during the preparation. Classic move...

[@xemiii]

I was quite drawn in by the "Me in the future" type story, and as I got ready to sit up and change the vid you said "have a nice July." What a fun coincidnce to have watched this video in July.

[@braydensyphers8498]

Yes! Thanks Joe!

Nice

[@rothberg4334]

Thank you for producing this. This should be a pbs show.

[@_Pi3.14]

I listened to this 3 times and i had a goodnight sleep for 3 days straight. Today’s the 4th and im texting at 3:28am questioning whether he talked about submarines and stuffs after OceanGate incident happened like wtf 💀💀

[@kimberlybogert7031]

Its day time at moment where am at but still appreciate this..im feeling kinda sad a bit..so thank you.🌺

[@pheona1164]

❤ looking forward to the show.

[@emilymarentette7555]

This is my new favorite series to listen to in order to fall asleep. This series has seriously helped me fall asleep a lot easier than any other guided meditations or sleep stories. Thank you, Joe. For this.

[@ioanidees5391]

It's gonna be a good sleep tonight :)

[@Mote.]

I love Joe Pera

[@hyunwooshin9739]

영상 고마워요 조 페라. 어덜트 스윔때부터 많이 봤어요. 거기로 다시 가든 안가든간에 전 응원할게요. ❤❤

[@gnbman]

I thought this was a great thing to listen to at work. Until it ended. Now i feel like I've reached the end of a long journey, but i can't rest because I still have 2 and a half hours of work left. 😭

[@JohnBGood-ry9wj]

Adult swim made a huge mistake letting you go!!! I wish your show would come back, I miss all the characters!!!

[@Igor-zj1lc]

great episode

[@BitsofJoshua]

Joey, Joey, Joey. I love you, that's all really. Thanks for this.

[@mughill551]

It's weird that I used to do the same thing. I used to listen to tons of classical and movie soundtracks before going to school or when traveling by car. My phone was so crummy and I didn't have any headphones or earbuds so I would put my phone against my ear with the volume almost on mute. I eventually did get Headphones and that's when it really transformed my listening experience which helped me prepare for a day of school.

[@rippleban]

Good for you!

[@drewey-oh6484]

Hey this is gonna sound really out of pocket and I don't think anyone will read this and that it's a comedy but truly thank you. These videos literally saved my life. In my life, my parents encourage me to kill myself and I genuinely don't have many people to turn to, so these videos almost makes me feel my life isn't all hopeless. It's kinda strange but these videos make me feel a weird sense of peace I rarely if ever get. So thank you joe pera, and this wonderful community. If it wasn't for you I would have been dead by now.

[@bethanylindsay7621]

THANK YOU JOE!! NEW EPISODES ARE SO GREATLY APPRECIATED !!

[@INTEG17]

I really like the dirft off series..btw if u could do another with a long relaxing audio ending like the soup episode thatd be really great. Its really great even if ya dont tho. Thx

[@redneckgoatfarmer]

I used to do that FDR drive. I hated the city, but I loved that drive, it was like seeing the giant from a distance, the river contrast the miles of passing buildings. One of the few places in the city you could see the sky.

[@hyunwooshin9739]

Thanks, Joe, pera. This made my night sleep tight.

[@TheDkbohde]

I’ve been listening to this nearly every night since it came out. I still don’t know what the second half of the episode is about. Thanks Joe and team for helping us sleep

[@bonzomcduffy8336]

I love Joe Pera. H'es like a nice old Uncle who never talks down to you. You'll always be nine or ten years old and helps you along filled with wisdom and kindness and comfort.

[@WeMakeItRainz]

Joe!! Posting again on this channel, love it!!

[@lowoncreativity]

I feel like Joe's episodes and the topics he talks about always come at the right time for me. I've had a couple of epiphanies this week after feeling burnt out from everything. Glad to know it means new and good things will reveal itself soon. Hope you have a good July, Joe! See you next month.

[@matts719]

So glad to hear Joe is getting to do a voice role in a movie. I liked him as the notary in the Bob’s Burgers episode. I think his style lends itself well to such work.

[@liadmarley]

The most soothing voice in the universe

[@Suchomimus65]

Super excited for the standup special, Joe!

[@davidf8474]

I immediately subscribed to your channel thank you for doing this this is an awesome relaxing and sleep inducing audio. I really appreciate what you do Mr Pers

[@user-jf9nr7tf5q]

Happy 4 july , joe pera. From San Francisco. 🎉🎉

[@alicewahlen6124]

Great episode Joe, thanks!

[@margoskinner668]

I would be so happy if one of the Drifting Off episodes was on rain/storms

[@mehpeh2273]

Sorry to hear about your trouble sleeping, Joe. I'd recommend listening to a guy named Joe Pera. He makes calming videos.

[@josef2012]

Works every time ❤

[@TJ_ONLY]

“Hey babe, the new Joe Pera just dropped. Let’s go to bed.”

[@Mattokamus]

Love you Joe and I accept your apology for the joke about nuking me in my sleep.

[@v3maseiii414]

I love what you do Joe, and I now views are going down but I’ll always be here ❤

[@iGotEm]

You are my favorite!!! Please keep doing what you do ❤

[@keyhalverson5857]

I have listened to the July podcast so many times, sometimes more than once a night, and I’ve never heard the entire thing. Thanks for the 😴!

[@annaratliff4638]

The episode of Townsend's you were in was my absolute favorite. I miss your show i think you and Jo Firestone make a great team

[@prtypeninja]

Thanks for the content Joe!

[@tomwall2361]

I've literally dreamed of having this podcast become a reality. It's exactly like I dreamed it would be. Thank you 🙏

[@stacehansen3140]

Thank you, these really help.

[@TheDkbohde]

Third time trying to listen to this all the way through without falling asleep so fast I have no ideas what happens

[@osiel444]

Thank you joe pera you’re videos have help me with my sleep and when I am felling sad or depressed

[@DoctorDogma]

Do this for 10 years, one topic a month. That's only 124 topics to talk about within 10 years. That's hardly nothing. Joe rogan has done over 1500 episodes over 2 hours long. You can do 124 episodes 20 mins long on average. 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤ I Believe in you Joe! You bring so much light to our lives

[@loquatvids6454]

Feel bad that elemental did poorly, Peter seems like a cool guy

[@eloiseempson2865]

I listen to this every time I’m having a panic attack. You really help! Thanks!

[@zayyyleee]

thank you joe pera i love you for this i cant sleep without it.. its become an addiction 🥲

[@CurseTheCosmos]

9:48 I can attest about that specific drive. I’ve down it countless times. It’s transcendent, as late night car drives go.

[@AB10103]

“Where’s Joe Pera?! Get Joe Peras fucking ass up there!!”

[@tiredguy77]

it’s my favorite person! 🖤

[@xbronn]

great stuff

[@brograb898]

That has been making me laugh, too, Joe. Very high level critique of capitalism here!

[@JulianLurain]

Joe i dont know if ive posted this on another episode before . But MONTHS ago now (even though i still remember the pain like its happening right now) I was in the hospital with a kidney infection...- i literally could not go to sleep - they tried so many drugs and literally nothing worked . I dont know if it was just a coincidence but when i turned on an episode of this , i dont remember what happened next - Either all the drugs they had given me hit at once . Or Joe really is all i needed 😂

I listen during the day to acquire a sedative- indica like effect occurring
