Gooooooooooooooooooooooood morning! And welcome to 2024! Auld Lang Syne and so on. Mayor's back in the booth, ringing in the new year with a new mic, new meds, and new love. I swear this episode had a point, but alas. Come along on a magical journey as I talk about the value of kindness, off label usage and its relationship to Heidegger, and how ab…

Gooooooooooooooooooooood morning! I was depressed and didn't want to fight the urge to self harm, so I sat down and started talking. A classic mayoral unspooling of thoughts, and true to form, it actually does come together in the end. Come along on a magical journey as I dish about American New Realism, the importance of separating art from artist…

Gooooooooooooooooood morning! Your mayor was feeling isolated and decided to fix that with a bit of the ol' pontification. Didn't really have a plan or point but it all came full circle anyway, much like life itself. Come along on a magical journey as we talk about operating systems and user control, aggressive toy and snack branding, and how a wil…

Gooooooooooooood morning! It's the Mayor, back in the saddle and live from Seattle (not really). Decided it was a good time to unspool some thoughts, so I made coffee and I did. Come along on a magical journey as the mayor goes through it on air a bit, reflects on how culture has passed him by, and has a surprising number of clear memories of Archi…

Gooooooooooooooooooood morning, muckrakers and heartbreakers alike. Your mayor has been away for some time, and that time ends now. Decided to check in and get back to what I do best (buncha dumb bullshit). Come along on a magical journey as I shake off the ring rust and talk about changes in life, the power of determination, how quitting smoking i…

Goooooooooooooood evening. One last ride with the mayor? It's been an incredible journey and so many bizarre and hilarious experiences came of it. None of it really "should" have happened, but it did and nothing can take that away from you. And by you, I mean me. This episode is as close as it gets to discussing what the Vander Jam "means." Too man…

Gooooooooooooooooooooood morning, lets chase away the season transition with a double barreled blast of awesome right to your face and also balls. I'm sitting with friend and frequent returning guest Fredo Fabcrucci (@utwitily) to see what's new in his world.

Gooooooooooooooooood morning! Lets stave off seasonal affectative disorder with a little warmth and conversation, shall we?

Goooooooooooooooooooood morning! The mayor flows like water but he's not as swift as Mercury, and I decided to prove it. We sit down with beloved friend and bon vivant Mercury Mori, and while I don't learn who any famous women in history actually were, it ended up being a hoot all the same. Come along on a magical journey as we discuss critters wit…

Goooooooooooooooooooood morning! It's the Vander Jam, for the last time ever, I swear. Been a fun ride but all things must come to an end. And seeing as none of this would have happened without @mediummhollow, figured I should treat him to dinner and close up shop the right way. Come along on a magical journey as we discuss the functionality of aes…
