Connor Griffin Pulse Check
First of all, family.
I can't help but notice in the YouTube comments of not just today's show, but increasingly over recent weeks, people complaining about Connor being obnoxious and even suggesting he be replaced.
I'll be honest, I have always loved Connor on the show. Mark and Brandon carry it obviously, but to me he's a perfect side character. He feels like the little brother that everyone rags on, but he genuinely is responsible for so many of the show's highlights from the Star Wars murder mysteries, to the Brownsburg trip, to the girl bully, etc.
I feel like because we are in a lull in the sports calendar, Brandon and Mark have spammed the "make fun of Connor" button pretty heavily. The vibe from the commenters has shifted from "he's a weirdo, but he's our special boy" to "this guy sucks." But I can't imagine the show without him and would never want him to leave.
So I ask the family: has your opinion of Connor genuinely shifted or is he the same guy?
