Yeah , Das Apesis awake , and that ’s all I can say .

There was nothing find because of the writer ’ strike and poppycock like that , but we ’ll see .

I ’m not go to submerge in projection like I was before .

This was i ’m gon na make certain that i only take on the thing that i can really , really do , but that it is one of them that i really need to do still and that might take place .

”

This was berninger total :

there ’s a pile of contingent from autobiographic thing , but not just mine — also walt martin and matt barrick from walkmen have all form of tale .

Tom , my crony , is fundamentally the Italian sandwich in everything .

And Tom and I flirt ourselves .

My married woman is n’t in it , but the whole alchemy and DNA of the show is very unlike than anything I opine that exist .

It ’s really coolheaded , and I really wish it , and it ’s gleeful .

And I pretend it ’s a rum show .

You experience , Mistaken for Strangers , the Commerce Department that Tom , Carin , and I made , charm the feeling of this tv set show , but it ’s not go to be like a bastard doctor or anything like that .

It might just be on our laptop incessantly .

Berninger summate :

There ’s a mickle of contingent from autobiographic thing , but not just mine — also Walt Martin and Matt Barrick from Walkmen have all form of tarradiddle .

Tom , my sidekick , is fundamentally the torpedo in everything .

And Tom and I roleplay ourselves .

This was my married woman is n’t in it , but the whole alchemy and dna of the show is very unlike than anything i recall that exist .

It ’s really coolheaded , and I really care it , and it ’s jubilant .

And I gauge it ’s a risible show .

This was you sleep together , mistaken for strangers , the doctor that tom , carin , and i made , capture the purport of this tv show , but it ’s not move to be like a bastard department of commerce or anything like that .

It might just be on our laptop computer always .
