00:00:01,043 --> 00:00:09,913
Joe Pera Talks to You
To put you back to sleep

2
00:00:18,356 --> 00:00:21,465
<i>Even if I'm up at 2
at night on a weekday,</i>

3
00:00:21,814 --> 00:00:24,801
<i>I'm glad I went
woken up by the night thunder,</i>

4
00:00:24,811 --> 00:00:29,771
<i>why, for me, looking at the snow and
rain is a special event.</i>

5
00:00:30,814 --> 00:00:35,924
<i>My favorite part of the Super Bowl
last year was when with...</i>

6
00:00:36,089 --> 00:00:39,712
<i>7 minutes and 35 at the end of the third half,</i>

7
00:00:40,004 --> 00:00:44,644
I<i>looked out the window and I
saw the snow falling softly.</i>

8
00:00:45,432 --> 00:00:48,801
And as he landed on the
silent and empty street,

9
00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:51,140
I said to myself:

10
00:00:52,144 --> 00:00:53,199
"Touchdown".

11
00:00:54,476 --> 00:00:57,578
Greetings. My name is Joe Pera,

12
00:00:57,959 --> 00:01:00,657
and the thunder woke you up too...

13
00:01:00,667 --> 00:01:02,421
or was it something else?

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,930
Maybe you're nervous about starting
of something new,

15
00:01:06,425 --> 00:01:08,907
of a new job, of a new baby,

16
00:01:08,917 --> 00:01:12,765
of a new pair of elegant shoes that
it stresses you out to use for the first time.

17
00:01:13,086 --> 00:01:16,369
Maybe you're waiting for the list
of the interpreters is published,

18
00:01:16,379 --> 00:01:19,684
or maybe your album of
debut will be released tomorrow,

19
00:01:19,694 --> 00:01:23,790
and you're worried that people will say
that you are plagiarizing Bruce Springsteen.

20
00:01:24,425 --> 00:01:26,815
Well, you're not at all
like Bruce Springsteen.

21
00:01:26,825 --> 00:01:30,019
You're not from New Jersey.
You're from Delaware.

22
00:01:30,209 --> 00:01:31,862
And do dubstep.

23
00:01:31,989 --> 00:01:34,403
Your hair is growing
thinning out for years.

24
00:01:34,608 --> 00:01:36,476
You are 1.80 meters tall.

25
00:01:36,807 --> 00:01:39,323
You have no teeth, you're all gums.

26
00:01:39,857 --> 00:01:42,641
Your microphone is alone
an old vacuum cleaner.

27
00:01:43,315 --> 00:01:47,815
You perform while on all fours and
Fashion Week songs.

28
00:01:52,963 --> 00:01:55,188
I don't know, sorry.

29
00:01:56,065 --> 00:01:58,747
I could go get some
waffles and milk but...

30
00:01:58,757 --> 00:02:01,544
it would be a shame to get up
and miss a beautiful flash.

31
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,237
The pattering rain
on the windows it must be

32
00:02:06,247 --> 00:02:08,688
the fourth sound more
relaxing ever.

33
00:02:08,698 --> 00:02:12,998
<i>Milk being poured into a glass
comes just next in the rankings.</i>

34
00:02:15,425 --> 00:02:18,247
<i>Whole milk is
particularly relaxing</i>

35
00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:22,737
<i>but even in this case, the majority
part of the spilled liquids are.</i>

36
00:02:24,006 --> 00:02:26,929
<i>Watch the liquids flow
from a large container</i>

37
00:02:26,939 --> 00:02:29,828
<i>in a small container it is a delight.</i>

38
00:02:40,671 --> 00:02:44,258
<i>Don't speak to me until
I didn't have my morning coffee.</i>

39
00:02:44,688 --> 00:02:45,841
<i>I'm joking.</i>

40
00:02:46,086 --> 00:02:48,543
<i>I'm happy to talk
at any time.</i>

41
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:54,531
<i>It's ladies' night.</i>

42
00:02:59,764 --> 00:03:01,506
<i>This is for the boys.</i>

43
00:03:15,323 --> 00:03:16,773
<i>This is Clinton Moy.</i>

44
00:03:17,065 --> 00:03:20,917
<i>Professionally deals with pouring
liquids in advertising and television.</i>

45
00:03:21,349 --> 00:03:22,417
Hello, Joe.

46
00:03:22,427 --> 00:03:23,536
<i>Hi, Clinton.</i>

47
00:03:23,790 --> 00:03:25,811
<i>Have you ever had trouble sleeping?</i>

48
00:03:25,821 --> 00:03:26,733
No.

49
00:03:27,889 --> 00:03:30,129
<i>Do you want to share your secret with us?</i>

50
00:03:30,279 --> 00:03:32,338
<i>How do you stay so relaxed?</i>

51
00:03:34,932 --> 00:03:36,132
With dominoes.

52
00:03:48,635 --> 00:03:50,300
<i>I don't like this.</i>

53
00:03:50,923 --> 00:03:54,355
<i>I'm sorry, and please
don't tell Clinton that, but</i>

54
00:03:54,365 --> 00:03:55,996
<i>but I don't like dominoes.</i>

55
00:03:56,923 --> 00:04:01,294
<i>As hilarious as it is to set it up,
once the fall begins,</i>

56
00:04:01,304 --> 00:04:05,087
<i>You're looking at potential
disappear before your eyes.</i>

57
00:04:05,097 --> 00:04:09,495
<i>No matter how much you want it,
the last domino does not rise again.</i>

58
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:19,004
<i>Sorry if I take it out on the dominoes,</i>

59
00:04:19,014 --> 00:04:22,169
<i>but it's one of my beliefs
fundamentals that should not be wasted</i>

60
00:04:22,179 --> 00:04:23,639
kinetic energy.

61
00:04:24,724 --> 00:04:25,512
Here you are.

62
00:04:25,894 --> 00:04:29,796
If you are still awake,
I have something special to show you.

63
00:04:46,690 --> 00:04:48,528
This is my sheet music collection.

64
00:04:52,305 --> 00:04:53,533
<i>Before 1920,</i>

65
00:04:53,817 --> 00:04:56,474
when radios were
still not widespread,

66
00:04:56,484 --> 00:05:00,987
you bought the paper versions of the latest ones
melodies for your home piano.

67
00:05:01,481 --> 00:05:04,895
That's not really how it works
the music industry today but...

68
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,663
there's something about the old smell of
card that helps me relax.

69
00:05:09,197 --> 00:05:11,409
And the cover is fantastic too.

70
00:05:14,613 --> 00:05:19,749
I love this piece, because the composer
He looks like a little chubby guy.

71
00:05:20,625 --> 00:05:22,212
Sorry for the teasing.

72
00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:31,787
Sometimes, a song articulates
perfectly a question

73
00:05:31,797 --> 00:05:33,782
that remained in you
head for life.

74
00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:36,993
{\an8}WHO PAID THE RENT
FOR MRS VAN WINKLE?

75
00:05:37,253 --> 00:05:41,613
Imagine not having a radio
and to depend on your father

76
00:05:41,623 --> 00:05:44,651
to interpret the whole
popular music for you.

77
00:05:46,011 --> 00:05:48,592



78
00:05:48,602 --> 00:05:52,799



79
00:05:52,965 --> 00:05:58,024



80
00:05:58,304 --> 00:05:59,702


81
00:06:10,444 --> 00:06:13,431
You might think this if
you saw my school photos...

82
00:06:10,444 --> 00:06:14,651
{\an8}I HAVE SOMETHING IN MY EYE

83
00:06:16,018 --> 00:06:17,390
but it's my fault.

84
00:06:17,683 --> 00:06:21,369
I can't keep my eyes
open, no matter how hard you try.

85
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:23,568
And this year I tried.

86
00:06:23,578 --> 00:06:25,125
<i>Three, two, one.</i>

87
00:06:27,026 --> 00:06:29,873
Excuse me. We can do it
another one, please?

88
00:06:30,357 --> 00:06:32,327
<i>Yes. All right.</i>

89
00:06:33,217 --> 00:06:35,093
<i>Three, two, one.</i>

90
00:06:36,148 --> 00:06:37,554
- Did we make it?
<i>- Excellent.</i>

91
00:06:37,564 --> 00:06:38,876
We did it.

92
00:06:38,886 --> 00:06:40,971
- Ok.
- Okay. Come on, darling.

93
00:06:42,623 --> 00:06:45,128
Sit up there. You are a star. Okay.

94
00:06:45,138 --> 00:06:46,271
Three, two, one.

95
00:06:49,373 --> 00:06:50,492
<i>It doesn't matter.</i>

96
00:06:50,912 --> 00:06:54,318
<i>I'm not too worried about
my photographic legacy.</i>

97
00:06:54,662 --> 00:06:57,700
<i>In fact, I hope not
be remembered at all</i>

98
00:06:57,710 --> 00:07:00,890
<i>and that, one day, it may disappear.</i>

99
00:07:03,471 --> 00:07:06,217
<i>Oh. Are those French horns?</i>

100
00:07:25,106 --> 00:07:27,729
<i>One of the most beautiful parts
of music teaching</i>

101
00:07:27,739 --> 00:07:31,385
<i>is that you literally can
feel the students while they learn.</i>

102
00:07:34,169 --> 00:07:37,576
And when this happens,
it takes your breath away.

103
00:07:42,801 --> 00:07:46,004
Gus has a mask for
built-in sleep.

104
00:07:49,538 --> 00:07:50,707
Sorry, buddy.

105
00:07:51,489 --> 00:07:55,417
But you don't have to be a teacher
music to take your breath away.

106
00:07:55,964 --> 00:07:58,722
There are a lot of beautiful ones
things that can do that.

107
00:07:59,943 --> 00:08:02,053
<i>Like a beautiful bolt of lightning.</i>

108
00:08:06,311 --> 00:08:08,246
<i>The perfect water pressure.</i>

109
00:08:12,553 --> 00:08:14,460
<i>When you risk dying...</i>

110
00:08:15,426 --> 00:08:17,422
<i>but then you survive.</i>

111
00:08:22,143 --> 00:08:24,546
<i>The flavor of a pineapple.</i>

112
00:08:27,164 --> 00:08:30,876
<i>When the hot tub
of the hotel is not full of teenagers</i>

113
00:08:31,131 --> 00:08:33,508
<i>so you can relax
the neck muscles</i>

114
00:08:33,518 --> 00:08:37,296
<i>after a long day with my nose
looking up at the aerobatics.</i>

115
00:08:37,804 --> 00:08:43,067
<i>The Blue Angels were amazing
in their F/A-18 Super Hornets,</i>

116
00:08:43,077 --> 00:08:46,143
<i>but the "jets" of this
tub are even better.</i>

117
00:08:46,970 --> 00:08:52,792
<i>Also, for those who don't travel much,
staying in a hotel is an exciting thing.</i>

118
00:08:53,287 --> 00:08:58,766
<i>When you go back to your room, you can look at it
a film that has not yet been released on DVD.</i>

119
00:08:59,586 --> 00:09:03,502
<i>Will DVDs still exist in two years?</i>

120
00:09:04,010 --> 00:09:07,887
<i>Hard to say, but the fact
is that, at a certain point</i>

121
00:09:07,897 --> 00:09:10,484
<i>most of
things become obsolete.</i>

122
00:09:11,078 --> 00:09:14,345
<i>Textile mills once were
powered by water wheels.</i>

123
00:09:14,355 --> 00:09:17,904
<i>They are now powered by
a hydroelectric dam,</i>

124
00:09:18,082 --> 00:09:22,480
<i>but that's good, because now there's more
stuff than there ever was.</i>

125
00:09:23,332 --> 00:09:24,654
<i>Think about it.</i>

126
00:09:24,819 --> 00:09:28,468
<i>There are today 95 million
tons of textile fibres</i>

127
00:09:28,478 --> 00:09:31,391
<i>produced every year all over the world.</i>

128
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:33,541
<i>This should take your breath away.</i>

129
00:09:33,756 --> 00:09:35,078
<i>And then,</i>

130
00:09:35,625 --> 00:09:40,252
<i>when the ceiling of your bar
preferred is a football field.</i>

131
00:09:46,544 --> 00:09:50,523
<i>Or when you open a box and your
bereavement therapist is inside.</i>

132
00:09:53,459 --> 00:09:56,650
<i>Or the size and the
depth of Lake Superior.</i>

133
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,641
<i>Or the moments when it seems like
your students appreciate you</i>

134
00:10:03,651 --> 00:10:06,908
<i>because they take the time
to explain the new jargon to you.</i>

135
00:10:08,663 --> 00:10:11,942
And when you've caught your breath,
I hope you fall asleep,

136
00:10:12,108 --> 00:10:15,959
and that tomorrow your crush
you become your baby.

137
00:10:16,468 --> 00:10:17,612
Good night.

138
00:11:08,334 --> 00:11:11,327
