Better in Person episode 8, Finally Offline's street interview series hosted by Savvy, features Satya. She says she is better in person because online she can come across as standoffish while in person she is giggly, friendly, and warm, and she and the host coin the line share a giggle. Offline she is outside every day in summer, walking around and getting a matcha. Asked whether she gatekeeps her favorite spot, she shouts out Matcha 108 in Chinatown.

Key Points

Satya says she is better in person because online can read as standoffish while in person she is giggly and friendly
She and host Savvy land on a phrase for it: share a giggle, let us laugh more
Her offline life is being outside every day in summer, walking around and being with friends
She is not a matcha gatekeeper: she shouts out Matcha 108 in Chinatown
Better in Person asks every guest whether they are better in person or better online, hosted by Savvy

Satya''s whole case for being better in person is that a camera cannot catch a giggle.

Better in person or better online? "I think I''m better in person." Why? "In person you can see I''m very giggly, very friendly, chill. Online I might come across a little more standoffish. But in person..." Savvy fills it in: you''re a sweetheart, you like to laugh. "I''m a sweetheart," she agrees. The two of them land on a slogan for it: share a giggle. Let''s laugh more. Everybody, let''s just share a giggle.

Offline, she is simple about it. "Just be outside. Especially because it''s summer, I''m outside every single day. Walk around, be with friends." Pressed on what outside actually means, whether she is scavenging pine cones or reading the newspaper, she gives the real answer: "a cute little matcha." Also, running into people. "I ran into you." Savvy, holding his shoulder: "You literally ran into me, and now my shoulder hurts."

Which sets up the only question that matters. The matcha shout out, or gatekeeping? "No, no, no, I''ll shout one out." For the record, and for free: Matcha 108 in Chinatown. Really, really good.

Not a gatekeeper. Eight in, still counting.

🎤 Host: Savvy

Satya: Do you want to give a shout out to any matcha spots you like to go to, or are you a gatekeeper?

Savvy: Okay guys, it's Sav, host with the most. You know who we're here with today?

Savvy: When you're outside, are you scavenging for pine cones? Picking up cool rocks? Reading the newspaper? What are we doing outside?

Satya: I like to go for a cute little matcha. And walking around, you run into people. I ran into you.

Savvy: You literally ran into me, and now my shoulder hurts because of the way you ran into me.

Savvy: Now, you mentioned matcha. Do you want to give a shout out to any spot, or are you a gatekeeper?

Satya: No, no, no. I'll shout one out. Matcha 108 in Chinatown. Really, really good.

Savvy: Shout out Matcha 108. Thank you so much. This was fun.

Satya: Yes. Let's do it again.
