    STURGIS TOASTIES!!!

    Selso, Art, and Rooster weren’t your average motorcycle enthusiasts. Sure, they had bikes. Sure, they had leather jackets. But what truly set them apart was their unwavering devotion to breakfast-themed branding and questionable road trip decisions. It all started when Selso, mid-podcast recording, declared: “Guys, what if we ride to Sturgis… dressed as toast?” Art, sipping cold brew from a mason jar, nodded solemnly. “Only if mine has jam flames.” Rooster, who had just returned from a week-long silent retreat in a Waffle House parking lot, whispered, “I’m buttered and ready.” So they hit the road. Art rode a white cruiser with a sidecar full of stickers and band merch. Rooster had a maroon beast with handlebars shaped like forks. Selso’s bike? A vintage chopper with a toaster strapped to the back, ejecting slices every 20 miles like breadcrumbs for lost breakfast souls. They made it halfway through Oklahoma before a biker gang called “The Grits” challenged them to a slow-motion race. Selso won by narrating the entire event in podcast form while riding. Art got distracted trying to sketch a cartoon mascot mid-turn. Rooster stopped to butter a passing tumbleweed. When they finally rolled into Sturgis, toast suits flapping in the wind, they were greeted with awe, confusion, and one guy who yelled, “I KNEW CARBS WOULD RETURN!” They didn’t win any official awards. But they did get a lifetime supply of syrup from a pancake vendor named Sheila, who claimed Rooster’s mustache reminded her of her third husband. And that night, under the neon glow of a dive bar called “The Crusty Crankshaft,” the trio raised their mugs of dark beer and declared: “To breakfast. To bikes. To being absolutely ridiculous.” Make sure to check out the EZSTRUGGLE PODCAST: https://open.spotify.com/show/33euQzIPk2R69xPcUM4Hqy?si=6eae4f5327f64d9e Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamroomtapes/ Check us out on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jam.room.tapes.podcast If you have any suggestions or song requests you can email us at jamroomtapespodcast@gmail.com

    Realize You Have a Flat Your car starts wobbling like it’s auditioning for Dancing with the Stars. Pull over before it wins a trophy. Find the Spare Tire It’s in the trunk, under that mysterious carpet flap you’ve never lifted. Bonus points if it’s not shaped like a pancake. Grab the Jack and Lug Wrench These tools look like medieval torture devices. That’s normal. Loosen the Lug Nuts Turn them counterclockwise. If they don’t budge, whisper sweet nothings or threaten them with a Yelp review. Jack Up the Car Place the jack under the car’s designated metal spot—not under the plastic trim unless you enjoy expensive crunching sounds. Remove the Flat Tire Pull it off like you’re removing a stubborn boot. Try not to throw it in frustration—it’s still technically yours. Put on the Spare Line up the holes, slide it on, and pretend you’re a NASCAR pit crew. Tighten the Lug Nuts Crisscross pattern, like you’re drawing an angry tic-tac-toe board.

    ON THE SCENE AT SOUND DEEP SUMMERFEST 2025

    Selso and Moose take the podcast “in the field” for an evening of live conversations with Midland’s rising talent. First, they sit down with Chris Brown, lead singer of Day After Dead, to explore how today’s youth will shape the next great music wave—despite a minor technical hiccup. Next, Aaron Chaney of Bees at Breakfast joins the show. Aaron not only discusses the band’s Midwest emo sound but also opens with a performance from his solo project, Dreamscene. Together, Moose and Aaron encourage Selso to pursue more original songwriting. The episode wraps up with the hosts reflecting on the night’s highlights and brainstorming ideas for future installments. Big shout out to Sound Deep Magazine and Cotton Flat Records for hosting this event, and for letting us post up and record this episode.

    BLEACH BY HURTWAVE AKA CRYING IN SYNTH

    After nearly two months of radio silence—and a string of mysterious postcards from far-flung places—Selso sat alone in the studio, sipping lukewarm coffee and eyeing the dusty co-host mic. Then, right as the intro music for the next episode faded out… the door creaked open. In walked Moose. With a sun-weathered bucket hat, a vintage windbreaker, and a grin only slightly wider than his accent, Moose declared: "Alright partner. I’ve seen the world, I’ve heard the stories, and I’ve fixed a payphone with a paperclip and three words of Swahili. Let’s hit record." Turns out Moose had been in Uganda—not for the gram, not for the drama—but on a noble quest to restore the last functioning pay telephone in the country. The village of Nakibanga had held onto the phone since the 1980s, and when it croaked out its last dial tone, they called the only man who’d once fixed a soundboard with chewing gum during SXSW: Moose. He rewired circuits, bartered with tech-savvy goats (allegedly), and even trained a local bird to mimic the ringtone as backup. And when the handset finally buzzed to life, the entire town lined up to make calls to relatives they hadn’t spoken to in years. Now back in Texas, Moose wasn’t just bringing tales—he brought that rare energy only found in people who’ve lived a few extra stories. As he leaned toward the mic, his voice was deeper, wiser, still unmistakably Moose. "Selso, this podcast is more than interviews and hot takes. It’s where the echoes of stories find a new home. Let's get to it." (00:00) - INTRO AND CATCH UP (18:52) - MUSIC NEWS (27:48) - DOES THIS JAM JELLY?
