We got a chance to chat with Connor ahead of his Saturday, November 8th gig at the Comic Strip Live, this was our favorite moment.

Lou: What's up, Connor?

Connor: "Hey guys, how you doing today?"

Ethan: So far, so good, but there's a lot of daylight left.

Connor: "Way too much, in my opinion. They're messing with these clocks, man, and I've been sleeping all day trying to deal with it."

Lou: He's got a great affect, doesn't he? I mean, it's contagious too — like when I was talking to you at San Gennaro, I found myself slipping into it. It's like a northeast version of Matthew McConaughey.

Connor: "Yeah, they say I could be maybe a therapist or something. I can really relax people — maybe even put them to sleep if that's their goal."
