But first, what are you reading, Bria?

I just started this book called Cork Dork. Have you heard of it? Is about wine? Yeah. By

Bianca Basker. I just started it because it's also it's a little bit of a research book like I'm doing some research for a movie and

Are you playing a bottle of wine? I'm playing a nice nice Merleau finally cast as a merleau I would say that you were more of like a

a muscato I really I'm kind of a seven-yon-blanc if you think about it yeah

look at this blonde yellow pale skin.

This jaundiced skin that I have.

I would be a bubbly white.

Ooh, okay.

So I'm sort of, I'm a champagne.

Yeah.

Um, yeah, it's basically, I don't know, I haven't gotten that far into it, but it's about a woman

who is a journalist and she decides she's going to become a Somali.

It's a true, like it's like a journal like she's it's true story I like to imagine this is like samurai training but with wine yeah kind of is well from what I mean I'm not very for a but it's very like it's cutthroat man. It's cutthroat and you have to be the you have to do the thing where you like taste the wine and you're like oh like I could taste wood I taste berries I taste a little bit of cinnamon this is probably a blah blah you know you can like tell you say what it is what region it's from like what year it is like you have to be like that scene from Napoleon dynamite where he drinks the milk and he's like the cow got in an onion patch. I don't even

remember that. I don't know for me wine all tastes like wine. It's like that scene

from black books where Bernard or the main character is like no one wants to admit

that wine has no taste.
