If it's the same guy, and I think it is, as it was told to me by a buddy that worked at AirNet going in and out of EWR. Also, I think he'll occasionally transmit to you before you can even check in;
EWR controller: "'Morning Starcheck XXXX how ya doin?. descend and maintain (whatever) expect the visual (4R/22L)
Starcheck: "Morning, descend and maintain XXXX how ya doin'?"
Controller: "Standby Starcheck I'll get back to you"
Controller issues instructions to a couple other airplanes.
Controller "Starcheck, you asked how I was doin. Started off rough, had a power outage earlier and it was a mess, plus traffic was worse than normal getting here. But then I took a break and ate the leftover meatball sandwhich my wife made me so I'm actually doing pretty good after that."
Doesn't skip a beat, talks to other airplanes.
