Better in Person, EP 022 @conemckee

Besides work, you can find Connor spending most of his time online searching for music he later collects on vinyl. The last record he picked up was Two Door Cinema Club’s Beacon, which is harder to get than you’d think.

Then there’s football every once in a while. Looks can be deceiving, and yes, that means soccer. The real football.

The shout out went to his wife and Miss Luna, a one year old pup. They’ve got his heart.

Better in Person, EP 021 @cozz

A thousand percent better in person. That was the answer before we finished the question.

His reason is energy. You can’t catch somebody’s energy, their vibe, their aura through a screen. Those are moments in time and you have to be there to absorb them.

Offline he keeps it simple. A walk, sitting by the water, a drive with music on. He’s from LA so the beach is right there. Malibu when he can get to it.

Then we asked what a text can’t sum up. Breaking up with somebody. If you had love and care for that person, you owe them that face to face.

AJ Dybantsa was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after averaging 25.5 points per game at BYU. Now with the Washington Wizards, the 19 year old rookie is averaging 13.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists through his first three preseason games.

Can Dybantsa turn his college dominance into an NBA Rookie of the Year season? The race is on, and the No. 1 pick has his sights set on the award.

Better in Person, EP 020 @fatherakki

Better in person or better online? Father Akki says in person, a zillion percent. You can see his smile and hear his voice, and he says that is what his mama raised, a creative force with a passion to say hello.

We asked if this is what we can find him doing offline. He says it’s his thing. Online is him posting the art, and offline, 24/7, is him making it so it can go online.

He’s from California and has been painting on clothes for about eight years. He paints on everything, but he says clothing is the catalyst that took him anywhere and everywhere. He closed us out with shout outs to his brother Luis, to Kaiser, rest in peace, to the high school teachers who put money in his pocket the first time he sold a piece, and to his mom, always.

First game action in a Timberwolves jersey. LaMelo Ball says the more this group plays, the more the chemistry builds, and night one already felt exciting.

Better in Person, EP 019 @andreo.otiniano

Andreo believes you have to be so smart to be so stupid. He says he’s better in person, but he’s chronically online, and we’re all guilty of it.

Offline, you can find him playing volleyball and taking photos. He’s a photographer and a big volleyball player, even though he’s 5’10. We asked if he’s a setter or if he goes full LeBron and spikes.

Better in Person, EP 018 @stevieskytel

Self love comes first. Stevie Skytel told us you can’t love anybody else if you don’t love yourself, and he says it’s the key.

We caught up with him on the Lower East Side to talk about what it means to be offline. For him it’s time with family, time with his significant other, and time with himself. I like myself. I love myself. I think it’s key.

Better in person or better online was the easy question. He picked in person right away. Online is a reference, he says, and a text is just a glimpse of a thought. In person you get the full experience, and it all starts with how he treats himself.

Better in Person, EP 017 @buckle.up.baby

Fred picks in person immediately. No debate, not even close. Online he says he goes into what he calls light skin mode. In person you get a real response, real energy.

He says his smell goods do the real talking, something a screen can never carry. Then the host tells him he is a reverse catfish, better in person than his own pictures. Fred does not argue.

Off camera he goes nomadic sometimes, a hermit other times. Somewhere in between he says he saved a woman pushing a baby carriage, an act he says made the New York Times, and helped out a few bank robbers on the side.

Better in Person, EP 016 @asvpxillz

On our next episode we catch up with ASAP Illz aka The Golden Child and he drops a gem.

“Every day is a day to make yourself new, so keep on reinventing.”

What makes him better in person is his swag. Offline, you can find him in the streets of the LES, in New York City projects, anywhere. When the host says he has never seen him and Spider-Man in the same room, he shouts out Tobey Maguire, the OG and the best one.

Better in Person, EP 015 Alizar

Alizar does not use social media. Not lightly, not as a detox, she just does not use it. Asked whether she is better in person or better online, she picks in person immediately.

She wants the whole thing. The conversation, the face, the body language, what the vibe actually is. Online strips all of that out and leaves you guessing. Emojis try to do the body language job, but they can only go so far.

Then she catches herself. While explaining that men are performative, she realizes she is performing too. The irony is kind of the point. Even in person, we are still deciding what version of ourselves to show.
