Everytime Joe posts I giggle and kick my feet.

I know it’s going to be a good day when a new Joe Pera video drops.

Joe Pera

[@bradenrodriguez5183]

I can tell even from listening to the first 20 minutes this is going to be a great episode

[@Excogitationn]

Beware! Only 2 minutes left my friend.

[@drlarryhonesquire]

2 minutes till the loop sets in 👍👍👍🙏🙏

[@LblockWins]

"I cant wait for you to see this guy i made" got me so good

[@naturalwandersnonprofit563]

Joe, I keep trying to listen to this episode. I’ve tried about 20 times. But I don’t even know what’s IN IT because I keep FALLING ASLEEP!!

[@verdatum]

I picked up the clarinet about a year ago. I bought some no-name Chinese manufactured resin thing, and I think it is simply fantastic. I grew up playing piano and trumpet, and I often pick up new instruments to learn, with some successes and some failures. But I wanted to try clarinet because I wanted to play klezmer music. I'm not Jewish, I just love how it sounds, and how it had a contribution to jazz music. Thank you so much for making these, Joe. You make the world a better place, and I can think of no better virtue than that.

[@IsuiGtz]

Thank you Joe, as always. Wish I had a friend, one like you. I haven't even heard a second, but just know it will be a great time. Thank you.

[@amygirl9534]

I did not know this about Lucille Ball. She was one of my idols growing up. I was a kid in the 80s, but obsessed with I love Lucy. ❤

[@BLVCKSCORP]

My sleeping rhytm is complete bonkers, trying to sleep now for 15h to skip a day to wake up early next day, this helps and came just in time❤

[@bobopa5624]

Been there. Getting as much direct sunlight exposure as you can between 7am-9am will help reset your circadian rhythm too if you can swing it. Hope you get everything back on track!

[@00allison00]

Your homage to Prince made me tear up!! So lovely!!

[@kylenuss7151]

Listening to this show, this feels like a great show you would find on PBS/Public Access of a man who goes around and talks to the locals about certain things and stuff. Nothing major, just a nice little small discussion about the joys of life. I love Joe Pera.

[@user-ct3vx4us5m]

Only 3 minutes old and already another classic episode Joe!

[@alistairhurst1357]

I've been looking forward to this one ever since you teased it last episode ❤

[@olimoteo]

Thanks Joe and the team for making this little wonderful show ❤ I discovered you through 'Joe Pera talkes you to sleep' animation and has been loving everything you do ever since. There’s not a lot of calm little shows like this these days... and yours really reminds me of Painting with Bob Ross. Keep it up! We love you, Joe and the team! 🙌

[@mrscardycreeper8972]

There's something so soothing about a calm, humble guy having normal conversations with people over the phone.

[@Ahhhhh_cats]

As a clarinet player, I loved this lol

[@michaelholme93]

The subtle decreasing in volume toward the end is an excellent idea.

[@surfnsunshinekat]

wow, I have some extra appreciation for this episode as I have played I think about 70% of all those Clarinets Joe listed and I love Prince! thanks for this one, Joe!

[@tin5180]

We need more brother, keep up the great work

[@bojackhorsemantrauma]

im sick right now and this is exactly what i needed to feel better. thanks joe!

[@harrysworld1172]

Thank you Joe. I will watch this when I go to sleep tonight. Have a wonderful day.

[@mevansthechemist]

The description of the clarinet as a small mammal reminded me of Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev. It represented the cat 😊

[@mevansthechemist]

…And of course it shows up 30 seconds later in the video. 😂 Nice find, and thanks Joe! Love your stuff.

[@nicholasmiller3841]

please keep these coming

[@SRumble810]

I don’t know why, but this episode had me tear up. It’s sweet, funny, real. Thank you, Joe.❤

[@TheMasterofMasters1]

Mister Joe Pera: I hereby grant you my title: The Master of Masters. 🎊CONGRATULATIONS!🎊

[@manasseh00]

Mahn,am I the only one who was waiting for this absolute sensation to drop.always love your company, feels like you're in the same room as I am ❤❤🙏🙏

[@Incognito-vc9wj]

Joe Pera is relief for a tired mind.

[@dovrob]

The problem with this podcast is that I don't want to miss it by drifting off

[@justjohn9239]

This is what I look forward to every month ❤ thanks joe!

[@Cobenator]

Been looking forward to this Musical tour. Thanks Joe.

[@maxwelldalton1853]

Listening to this at the lake trying to make my first chair with the smooth wood revealed by the lake being so dry because of all this heat, Thanks for the boost Joe, Karima and Ryan

[@verdatum]

Wood that has been seasoned in water is supposed to be fantastic to work with. I tried to set up some hickory in my little backyard stream to test it out, but it did not secure it well enough, so it all floated downstream the first time it rained. I can only hope that this didn't obstruct any civil engineering structures...

[@thechainuser4540]

I start my first day of class at college tomorrow, I'm thankful for this new episode to help shake the nerves before bed ❤❤ And knowing that Joe might read our comments makes it all better, it's an all around cool deal 😊 Hi Joe 👋 ☺ and Goodnight 💙

[@maryrath9062]

1:35 I had a friend who told a passenger to get out of his car when "Darling Nikki" started playing and the person asked if Prince was covering the Foo Fighters.

[@MofoWeedian]

Thank you for these Joe, been listening every night before sleep.

[@katieblucomedy]

I’m about to get some of the best sleep of my life

[@CarterHerrigstad]

Thank you so much Joe Pera! The music store episode was so much neater than I could have ever expected!

[@mughill551]

I remember when I first picked up the clarinet in school and being the only boy in my group. I wanted to quit because everyone called it a girl's instrument. It wasn't until my music teacher introduced me to Benny Goodman that inspired me to keep playing until high school.

[@theUBERsashimi]

Hey, Joe. Thank you so much for making this content. You never had to, but you saw that we wanted it after all these years. Please don't let the viewership or lack thereof sway you from this little hobby. It brings a lot of happiness to the world. Listening to your content is one of the only things that can calm the storms of reality and allow my anxieties to wash away before drifting off to paradise. Much love, Joe. Thank you so much.

[@Lauraleighnjg]

I want more Joe Pera in my life ❤

[@SloppyLarry]

A simulation isn't necessarily something you create. For example if you give a computer some simple rules and the sim creates on its own. Then there's something you probably are more familiar with like the Sims where things happen, but it a bit more contrived not in the negative critical way but literally.

[@chaldeankurdistani2322]

When are you dropping a new one

5Joe, I'm g🎉oing to be honest. I'vre been drinking a litt66le bit. I'm not s980ure exactly what it is you're talking about,sd but I know it has something to do with !P#rince. I like P3rince. And I like your voice r2. So I think that means I like you... Edit: Joe, I have to come clean. I was way too drunk to post that previous comment. Sorry for any inconvenience I might have caused. Anyway, your voice is really soothing for a hangover.
