Peter's Content-Free Podcast Episode 12 

"people who have... really good vision probably... have knees that hurt" ~Peter Dsomething, 2017

Usually I’m a pretty anxious person and going to sleep is tough because I have a million things on my mind.. but watching these helps me calm down and relax. Thank you for making these and keep up the good work!

How am I supposed to fall asleep to this when I'm laughing like a maniac every 10 minutes???

Peter, I cannot explain how much I love and appreciate the way you see the world

peter: *talks about how terrifying gravity is* peter: *takes a sip of coffee* peter: so what about lasik surgery?

To answer your long unanswered goldfish queries, your pets died because the chemicals used to treat tap water are unsafe for freshwater fish and will kill them within a few days. Aerators are not needed but are recommended and the myth of a goldfish that lives in a bowl with little effort or care required is tremendously false. Goldfish can live to be over 40 years old in really good hands. Most people do not have good hands. Hands are strange anyway. We hold forks with them.

I have these running while I;m doing jewelry, which is generally pretty loud when I'm doing any sawing or hammering, so I'll be working, and I'll pause for a moment and just hear something like "Long-sleeve shirts". For me it's a context-free podcast :P

6:47 "...and the heat seater stuck on...and I didn't even know I had a heat seater...." HEAT SEATER! LOL

your content-free podcasts embody the reason i subscribed i wasn't with this channel from the very beginning, but i appreciate its content the content-free podcasts are, as i see it, are made from the aspects of the content that got me to subscribe

Honestly ive been steuggling with a pretty lame depression. Ive trried a lot of things, and not much seems to work, but art, and peter drawing and peter talking always seem to lift my spirits. Thank you so much for just being you.

Oh my god I laughed so hard at some of it thank you for existing :)

I seriously just listened to a guy talk about his bed and sheets for 10 mins. And I enjoyed it.

I just finished listening to episode 11 last night and I'm about to go to bed (it's 2am in Japan) so I cannot be happier that this is up right now!! Thank you Peter and good night :)

I completely agree with the make-your-bed thing! XD I’ve never understood what the purpose of making your bed was considering you will be sleeping in that like 10 hours later XD

You've reignited my art interest. So thank you

I got kicked out of uni 😅 im kind of relieved though because I didn’t really like what I was doing anyway and now I’m applying for art school in Berlin 🙃

The reason why people experience coffee jitters is that coffee should be taken with food, specifically some form of carbohydrate or sugar. Coffee increases the metabolism, but if you haven't eaten anything, it will trigger a stress response. Coffee also increases adrenaline and makes you lose sodium from the body. High adrenaline will make you pee very often. Salt lowers adrenaline. You can probably see why eating little food and drinking lots of coffee is a bad idea. I used to get coffee jitters, but I fixed it after I stumbled upon Ray Peat.

Even trivial things sound glorious when narrated by you! Keep it up

Peter, How do you go back and fourth from this kind of messy scribbling to the more fine and precise drawing in used to seeing from you? I'm still figuring out my own art style so this question is a curiosity, not a criticism.

Peter I just wanted to tell you how great these podcasts are because 1 real time drawings 2 I drive for about a half hour to work (if its the busy time of day) and listening to one of these gets me both ways perfectly

A beauty every time! Your drawings always have depth and this one also bursts out in joy. Wild hamsters run huge distances at night in search of food. Oh, I just learned the other day that gold fish are social and needs at least one other gold fish.

Well, as for big life changes, I'm gonna be a dad!

The Peter Draws comments section is one of the most positive places on the internet

I can’t even start to describe how much I enjoy listening and watching Peter doing his thing! It has inspired me to also start “doing art” , creating big doodles like this is highly addictive and there is something meditative in the process of drawing lines. Thank you Peter! Keep up the great work.

My dude, I've been watching these podcasts since the beginning, and they are soo relaxing. Listening as I make my delicious lunch! Thanks for the non-content!

Thank you, Peter. I always draw or create something and I love to listen to your rambling. I actually prefer it to content-heavy podcasts or music.

Subscribed! Your art and personality is awesome

When Peter said "I was nine..." I really was hoping he was going to say "and three quarters". 😂🧹 🧙‍♂️⚡😂

well im getting braces in about a week and i have spacers rn. my teeth are absolutely killing me but your videos really cheer me up and make me forget about my bleeding gums so thank you for your wholesome content peter.

Hey Peter! This was one of my favorite content free podcasts of yours! 😃 I had LASIK surgery about 12 years ago. My eyes were VERY bad (prescription was -8.5 in left eye and -9 in right!) beforehand. I was shocked to be able to see PERFECTLY almost right away after the surgery. I didn't have much of a problem with dry eyes after that but I did have a lot of the "starburst effect" with lights, like headlights, but only when driving at night. It's very common and never bothered me much, but I do wear glare-cutting glasses to drive at night that remove the starburst effect. Unfortunately, I am due for slight tuneup (that happens with almost everyone eventually) and it would be free, since they offer lifetime tuneups, but I recently went for a consultation and now that I need reading glasses too (I am a couple of decades older than you😆) they said if I got them fixed again for distance, I would then need prescription glasses (not just reading ones) to see close up. So for now I am going to pass. Hoping some new technology comes around for people like me....but I say if you can, do it! The prices have really come down since I got it done, and it's totally worth it, in my opinion. Waking up in the morning with perfect vision is a glorious thing. 👍🏻

Thanks for asking Peter! Yeah, I'm having one of my works of art hung in a local tea shop around where I live :)

This drawing is majestic!

This is my favourite episode of this podcast so far. LOL great job :>

Here in Australia, we call a duvet a Doona. (From a trademarked name for a duvet.) It's a bit weird. But then, duvet is weird. And "bed clothes" sounds lurid.

I got into an arts academy! The one of my dreams! It's much better than my old rubbishy school and I'm much happier now. Oddly enough, and I was thinking and I realised you were actually one of my biggest inspiration to start drawing to get away from the nasty emotions and thoughts my old school was putting into my head. This then encouraged me to apply to this new school. So thank you!!

I can honestly picture you as a glorious art teacher.

Awesome to see the TWSBI in action again XD Just bought me an ECO myself and filmed an unboxing video yesterday. Smooth. Very smooth writing and sketching.

Just discovered this channel and I love it

Thank you for the podcasts Peter.

Really love your podcasts and story telling videos!! thank you

I honestly love these videos the most

peter... have bad news :( tea still has caffeine

Amazing video Peter! Definitely an inspiration for me to keep making my own art videos, thank you so much (:

A little late but, you can buy insulated flannel shirts with hoods and they usually have buttons or snaps. I live in MN and always loved the cozy flannels my mother-in-law would get me for Christmas. I believe they were usually purchased from a farm store like Fleet Farm.

Peter you have no idea how much your videos and your voice have helped my drawings. I draw mainly just listening to you reading or just talking and its like meditation lol. Anyways I finally finished my portfolio and got accepted to be a tattoo apprentice. Keep it up man.

Heat seater

Hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable as usual, Peter. I was feeling pretty down tonight and this helped so much. :D

I need more of theeese. It's just so calming listening to you talk while I doodle away =~=

I LOVE THESE

I'm fucking freaking out 😯😯😯😯😯 The first hamster I owned I named herbie after the car too 😕😕😕😕😕😕😕😕

"I don't know if carrots are actual food, but we fed him empty toilet paper rolls" 😂😂😂

"Is a Parrot a Pirate? They're at least accomplices..." 😂

i love listening to you talk while you draw its very relaxing

My dog ran away. 😥 He got scared because a man fell down on the street next to us. He has ppl fobia. He was so scared that he almost ripped off my harm. I have been looking for him since the 11th. It feels like someone that depends on me is missing. It really really sucks. I miss him so much! Although he is big and 40kg, he's just 1yr and half. He's just a big baby and he hates ppl and noises that he doesn't know. I will keep looking but every day that goes by i feel more desperate and i feel i won't ever see Icon again. I hate that i don't know how he's doing. 😥 well, this is what's going on with me.

OH. MY. GLOB! 1 hour of Peter!! Perfect way to start the year! :D

Podcast posted on my birthday. It's a good day!

love me some content free podcasts

Peter I have recently stumbled upon your Channel and I love watching your artwork and blows my mind like literally blows my brain to Pieces the crap you can just come up with and I don't mean crap in a sense that it's not good I'm talking crap that's like unbelievable but to hear you talk and listen to you go on and on your mind is exactly like my mind I wonder about so many things even long sleeve shirts like I'm like oh I'd like to wear a long sleeve shirt but most of my long sleeve shirts ich me and like your brain is the same as mine I think about all kinds of stuff if I were to talk about it out loud instead of keeping it to myself most of the people that are around me all the time would probably think I'm weird so I keep it to myself I love listening to you talk it's very soothing you're wonderful you're a wonderful person please know that

Growing up I had a lil school desk with one of those sharpeners attached. It was great.

No sabía que querías aprender español, me alegro Peter! Que se pasas que compre unos libros tuyos y es de lo mejor que e podido comprar, me inspiran muchísimo. Muchas gracias!!!!

Listening to you talk about Herby, was one of the funniest things I've ever heard, apart from the death part.

Heat seatering haha. I'm cracking up

Liked before the video was over because content is always superb 😁 now back to the video

love these!!!

Hey Peter, you should do a "Draw My Life" video !

Hi Peter, I draw going with the flow as well and your channel and your vision gives me confidence to start my channel. why not. I'll try to do my best and let's start. thank you man.

Not sure if anyone else responded about the Goldfish already but.. You had it all on the tip of your tongue kind of... Yes, the water needs regular treatment & changing, as well as filtration & oxygenation from filters/pumps. The air bubbles do (somehow) get absorbed into the water & help keep the water from going stagnant. Great stories, thanks for sharing!

This video was amazing! The thing about the coffee blew my mind😱

I know the pencil sharpeners that were on the wall when I was a kid in school. I always liked to use a freshly sharpened pencil and those sharpeners would even sharpen the big pencils we used in first grade. It takes me back...I’m 72. I have loved to use a sharp pencil ever since.

The change is that now i'm seeing my work with other eyes. It was the first time that i was just drawing, not trying to do anything specific, just drawing. I didn't know it could be so pleasant.

💛 I love your videos! I've actually been accepted into 5 colleges! I've chosen university of tampa in Florida. it's especially exciting because I'm from Alaska! I love listening to these while im reading or working. it's really soothi ng and a nice way to fill the void of silence.

I like to listen to these podcast to help me sleep but I couldn't stop laughing when you said you thought you peed on yourself and when you said you don't like your covers tucked in.

I love these!!! Ty peter!!!!😊😊

That moment when you think about the words seat heater and heat seater for too long and suddenly your mind explodes and you have absolutely no idea which one is right haha

going to start using the frase ''bed clothes'' now. thanks peter

Peter you’ve inspired me to get a set of rapidograph pens after the countless amount of wasted pens.

I just love this guy

Re. different languages and being lost in translation -- there was a good This American Life podcast about a famous standup comic in France trying (struggling) to make it in America -- it's amazing how subtle language must be in comedy to work!

Peter, I only have a small collection of toe nail clippings. Are you specifically needing finger nails or will toe nails work too?

Haha yes! I LOVE these content free podcasts. Thanks Peter!

Love your channel. Inspired me to create my own . My style is little different.

10/10 for car seat heater story !! haha

I skipped ahead into the video, and the first thing I hear is, "Accept and embrace your tiny deformities". Thank you, Peter. My tiny deformities needed accepting and embracing.

I love your podcasts!

peter where can i buy the glow in the dark ink and the dip pen pls. reply tnx.

I just fold my sheets. Rough. Do on principle. It allows to me to say "if nothing else, this is done"

Timmy here. Loving the twitch stream bud! Imma have to draw to this later today!

I always broke my prismacolor pencils until I watched a video from an art store explaining that sharpening in the traditional way rattles the lead around too much and thus the breaking. They said to hold the pencil in your non-dominant hand, and the sharpener in your dominant one, turning the sharpener instead of the pencil. My pencils don't break anywhere near as much anymore.

love your podcasts peter :) i wish i had time to catch your streams though

You used tap water?! No wonder the fish died!! You need to use these special drops to de-chlorinate the water so the fish can breathe it. 🤦‍♂️

Lol, so you have to put a declorinate the tap water, theres only a small amount in tap water but it hurts the fish, and then it dies. Fish like the bubbling thing because, theres more oxygen in the water with the bubble thing. Ive been watching your psge for a while, its like a fun podcast about everything and nothing and its just fun to listen to you while drawing along with you! Thank you for making these videos! I also only started trying out different media. I started doing stipiling and theyve all turned out great!

biggest update is that i'm going to take a year off from university to figure things out. thank you so much for the great videos, i watch your content when i need some down time or cant sleep :) also, totally agree on the coffee thing, why would i drink decaf if there regular coffee!?

I know this was three years ago, but my stomach gets the same way if I drink way to much for extended periods. It seems to make my stomach feel acidic, I know it is naturally but like Peter said kind of like acid refulx.

Peter, the best pencil sharpener I ever got was a Dahle one. It has a crank like the one you're talking about. And it's a bit hard to explain but it has this wall with a hole that comes out and grabs the pencil and pulls it. So that way you don't have to shove the pencil in there, you can just crank with one hand. There's also a little switch on there that lets you sharpen the pencil to a duller, thicker point. I've never used it but maybe it's good for... shading big areas or something?

What is that pen your using, would like to check it out thanks

I love This series

Happy New Year Peter. I wish you a great, prosperous and happy 2018. Thank you for all your efforts. Along with Mattias Adolfsson, you inspired me to ask for some fountain pens for Christmas. I received a Pilot Kakuno and a Pilot MR (Metropolitan in the US). Alas, they are not what I expected. After using dip pens, I kinda knew what I was getting in to it., but still, bit disappointed. They're a bit scratchy, inconsistent and unreliable in terms of line-making. Maybe I just need to get used to them, but you and Mattias make it look easy/easier. I shall persist, but my hand twitches for my Microns and brush pens...

Greatest video series for arting :)

This is great work. Love it!!

yep the earlobe thing is genetic. if im not mistaken having a free earlobe means you are recessive to a specific gene, and if its not free it means you are dominant. Love listening to the podcast while drawing, it makes it even more fun, thanks for making these!
