Have you ever wondered what it’s like to move 1200 miles away from everything and everyone you’ve ever known? Connor fills in his experience with moving from South Louisiana to St Paul, Minnesota.

is this thing on? 21.06.2024

Its been months since Connor James has been seated in front of a microphone talking to you guys. Welcome, if you're new here this is the perfect time to join the party. I update the world on where I have been the last 8-9 months, as well as updating you guys on a few elephants in the room, or should I say not in the room? I also talk about the things that I am looking forward to the rest of th...

the art of moving the f**k on 16.09.2023

Figuring it Out 14.04.2023

This episode describes the emotional hells-cape that I have been in since the start of 2023. In a year where I asked to have things worked out, the universe has certainly dealt me a hand that would challenge all of my skills that I’ve learned come with adulthood.

I am Gen Z Hear Me Roar 06.04.2023

In this episode I get candid about how I feel the powers that be in our nation are handling the gun epidemic in our country. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death among children that beats out fatal diseases AND car accidents. Something must change, and I discuss some ways that you can become that change. Every wave has to start with some ripple right? Please excuse my absence, I hope thi...

it all starts with you 06.01.2023

This episode is a nice mellow start to 2023 well in the most NYAG way. We start with discussing SZA’s new album and my obsession with it.

I also discuss the CFP semi finals and upcoming National Championship game between TCU and Georgia. I also talk about putting your he...

I get a lot off of my chest including regrets, obsessions and crushes... the time of sitting on our feelings and staying silent has passed.

take your moment 12.11.2022

The title is kind of self explanatory, I felt the need to come be real with y’all for a bit. Just a reminder to never settle for less than what you deserve and remember the moment your dream life starts is the moment you go out and grab it.

antisemitism needs to stop 02.11.2022

Hey guys sorry that title is kind of a lot I just saw the rise in anti Semitic hate crimes so I felt like it was my duty as a proud Jewish American to speak out and tell my story. I completely take aim at Kanye and his atrocious statements that he still continues to make as well. And I also talk about why spreading hate towards any community needs to stop.

cfb: the best story ever played 16.10.2022

Sooo this episode was supposed to drop yesterday morning before the college football Saturday got kicked off, but here is this episode any way, I still stand by most of what I said even though some things were wrong lol. Hopefully I’ll have this upcoming week preview out by Friday. Yesterday was certainly a college football Saturday I’ll never forget.

scorched earth 30.08.2022

In the Season 3 premiere change is in the air for me and I explain the odd ending to Season 2. But truth be told sometimes things just end, without warning and it knocks everything in life off course, what I’ve learned in my absence is that’s okay. As long as you know who you are and you can stand on that, who cares. I’m a Phoenix y’all, no matter what situation I get myself into I’m okay with bur...

My Story 02.06.2022

Happy Pride month everyone. I know I kind of told my story last year, but this is a more non rushed story that describes the emotions that came with coming to terms with my sexuality. I read a letter that I wrote 16 year old me and I also talk about how things have changed since I came out. It’s just important that you know if you are struggling with figuring things out, you are loved and you aren...

Leave Nothing Unsaid 28.05.2022

After recent events I couldn’t help but do some self reflection. We all have to do better if we want to see better and that starts with us simply being kind to one another. Take it as a challenge to go out of your way to be kind to someone you don’t know, it’s much easier to be mean. I also go off on a couple of other tangents that may lead somewhere, who knows.
