Its December 9 and I still dont have a tree, he says.
My life is falling apart.
Just few days prior,Joe Pera Talks With Youreturned to Adult Swim for its second season.
He thought I should get a balsam fir, and asked what sort of tree I normally get.
I embarrassingly did not have much of an answer for him.
I usually just take a stab at get one around my height.
So you’ve got the option to put ornaments on it, he said.
As we walked around, one of the employees came over to help us.
(Im not buying a whole cow!)
Im sorry, Pera said, sounding truly sorry.
This guys so nice!
said the tree man.
Hes like,Im sorry, like I had a loss in the family.
Its just some money!
The first episode ofJoe Pera Talks With Yous second season, which aired last week, focuses on beans.
Imagine that, he says to the audience.
Not having to bend over to pick a bean.
Its a small-sounding beginning to a show that has noticeably expanded since its first season.
I think thats the most fun.
It goes all over the place.
And we were really able to show off Milwaukee for Milwaukee.
Im really grateful for all we have, but were still not a, well … Pera said.
Like, we couldnt pay to shut down the supermarket for that episode.
(The episode about grocery shopping.)
So a lot of the people in the background were just shopping for their groceries.
I like that a lot.
We agreed that made it more special.
But then it turned out the shoppers were just buying the bananas.
And thats kind of like a dream.
To go wherever you want in a supermarket?
Part of the reason the show is so effective is that it tempers its kindness with brutal honesty.
But this is hardly true, and I have been devastated in the past.
Another reason, Pera offers, is that the show isnt only made up of his voice.
And I think that makes the show better.
It never could have happened without her.
Wed promised the tree man wed come back, which ended up being a lie.
Are you gonna get in trouble if you dont get a tree?
I said no, it would be okay.
We could go back and get one, if you want.
Really, we can go back.
No, no, its okay.
