You’ve probably heard Vogue on many podcasts so you know she’s just great to hang out with, and this is no exception.

So, now I should point out, as you came in to the studio, you said you were having a shower

0:52.3

and you were annoyed at yourself for the choices you'd made. So if you want to change any of these, it's fine. It's like, because I think I was just so honest. You were like, five things you love. I was like, easy. And I just threw them out. Then I was like, oh no, I meant to try and be interesting here. And I'm insisting on talking about sleep. It's so interesting though. Are you like that?

2:02.6

Just like, it could be the only thing on their mind. Yeah. But, like, I figured out that dying is like being asleep and I love being asleep. Yes, but you never wake. I know. You don't know what, you don't know if you're going to get eight hours or ten hours or forever hours.

2:19.2

Do you have like a fit or anything like that where you can see how long you sleep?

2:23.5
