"How could you love anybody else if you don't love yourself?"

Stevie Skytel says it in the first seconds, and it is the line this episode is built on. Savvy gets to it on the Lower East Side with one question. Better in person or better online? "Definitely better in person."

The case runs on the senses. "To have an experience with me, you can utilize all five of your senses." Savvy likes that one on the spot. "Oh, I like that." You can hear a voice, smell the cologne and see the outfit.

What makes it better than online? A text, Stevie says, is just a note or a thought sent off real quick, a glimpse of the real thing. "It's fleeting." Surface level, and nothing like sitting across from someone.

Then offline. "Doing laundry, getting a haircut, getting my nails done." Time with a significant other, time with family, or "just spending time with myself." Savvy repeats it back. "With yourself."

That is where the line comes back. "I like myself. I love myself. I think it's key." Then the question again, in full. Savvy calls it the way it lands. "You're dropping proverbs on them."

The shout out goes to one person. "My mother, for having me, giving me birth." Then, "We out."

🎤 Host: Savvy
