[laughter] greg: tyrus, i actually do not i m not a big fan of bar drinking at night. i do during the day you re a day drinker? greg: i like to bring my work with me. what are you working on? greg: i actually wrote this book at a bar with. always work when you re drinking, and you feel like you re not a drunk. what hours would that start, say six a.m. to six p.m.? greg: no, i would go one to five or when i got blurry. awesome. kat, let me ask you a question. [laughter] he s a drunk, isn t he? greg: do you have an opinion? i was interviewing you, greg.
