In season 1 episode 3: “Joe Pera Takes You on a Fall Drive”, Joe is told that whenever you carve a pumpkin into a Jack-o-lantern, a piece of your soul goes into it. But, fear not, you can regrow your soul from doing things that you find enjoyable or fulfilling.

Being that this subreddit is wholesome and pure, I’d love to hear what things or experiences regrow your soul back! ❤️

Joe is left handed. His hand writing on the envelope of beans is so wholesome.

The youngest Melsky kid’s name rhymes with her last name. Kelsey Melsky. That is hilarious.

Alright, I think I need to make another cup of classroom blend. Happy Saturday everyone.

they used to (wrongly) compare ted lasso and Joe pera for the "wholesomeness" but that misses the mark. I think Pete and Pete has a similar feel to JPTWY

anyone else?

hey guys, this is my first time listening to Drifting Off With Joe Pera, and i love the songs in the "Waterfall TV" special, so if someone knows the tracklist, it would be a pleasure.
(note, the answering machine episode is my favorite one, really cool)

I know for me, it’s a show that’s made me appreciate life and enjoy the smaller things that I took for granted. And it’s definitely a show that I’ve thought about non stop since I’ve seen it.

Hey all,

I'm a gameboy game developer and just thought about a game about joe pera, for example the town is recreated and you can maybe farm beans and give those to your neighbours with small interactions. Not sure how, but it seems awesome in my head. Any ideas are welcome!

And it’s all about rats

I’m currently doing a rewatch (Love the show even more a second time) and just started Season 2. During the opening musical scene where Joe’s class is singing The Mighty Quinn, they cut to a couple scenes, such as Joe and Sarah visiting Nana. But we also get shots of an older man working on a house. Maybe I need my Media Literacy License revoked, but I have no idea who that man is or what the significance of his scene is. They end the musical number on a shot of him, so clearly it’s important in some way. Anyone have any interpretations?

I have recently discovered Joe Pera and 3 seasons of his show. Touching, cute and so life affirming (triple heart). He REALLY reminds me of Eckhart Tolle, but I can't seem to find a single mention of their names together. Am I the only one who thinks them alike and wants to see them speak to each other?

By unrelated work I mean specifically Joe Pera branded stuff btw, I feel like I'd take Talks With You for entertainment value but I find his shorts more relaxing/comforting, was curious what people think

It was SPECTACULAR! Once I had heard about him being in it I watched it and it was extraordinary, I only watched the movie for his scene and shut it off shortly after it hahaha

Hello all,

I wanted to get some Joe pera love on the Bluesky app, what keywords could I add to make it more relevant to the Joe Pera corner of the internet?

Attached is what I have added so far. Plus all posts for Joe pera and Ryan Dann as well.

Why would that be the first line of anything?

"The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Thursday to approve a budget amendment that provides key funding for a plan to save, renovate and expand the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory Domes."

A huge win for preservation, Milwaukee, and Joe Pera.

I just binged the series again. What gentle chill shows are y'all watching?

Has anyone seen or know of anyone or anywhere selling the Joe Pera Flexi Disc that was sent to AS patreons in 2018?

I'm a huge fan of his show and other AS specials, so I actually waited for the premiere of the stand-up special and went to watch it as soon as it released, but I couldn't get through it due to the way his voice sounded.

This isn't meant to be cruel to Joe, and I hope it doesn't come across that way, but I was curious if I was the only person who was put off by the audio.

I'm not sure if his voice has changed, the mic was poorly set up, or he was ill during the filmed show- it's been a long while since I attempted watching it. His voice just sounded more raspy and strained than I remembered it.

I’m doing yet another watch of JPTWY. I’ve made this observation to myself before, but two moments in this episode really stick out to me as heartfelt.

First, when Joe is in the beauty salon talking to all of nana’s friends. He poses a question to them about whether waiting gets easier with age. All the women take turns answering and go into how they spend their time. The conversation feels extremely genuine and seems like it could be totally improvised. I don’t want to chalk good writing up to improvisation, but it’s such a great moment where this conversation Joe isn’t really an active part of really gets room to breathe. Kudos to the writer Katie Dolan.

Second, the conversation between the husband and wife at the fried fish dinner during the closing credits. The wife is talking about finding a pair of shoes at a garage sale and the husband teases her about buying too much. It’s again another genuine moment between two characters who aren’t Joe. It’s very brief, but I appreciate how real of a conversation it feels to be and it’s a great slice of life moment.

Anyway, I know how important this show is to everyone in here. I always enjoy reading what other people have to say about certain moments/episodes. Let me know what y’all think.
