Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1221452/open_sms] TURNING IT UP TO ELEVEN: FAKE FILM BANDS Back in Time Brothers Radio Show DJ Paulie & Lou | Featuring DJ Brit | Todd Snyder Grab your air guitar, crank the dial, and prepare to scream “THIS ONE GOES TO ELEVEN!” because the Back in Time Brothers are blowing the speakers off your Monday with a legendary deep dive into the wildest, weirdest, and most unforgettable fake bands ever to hit the silver screen! This isn’t just a countdown—it's a full-on cinematic rock riot. DJ Brit takes the reins with a sonic tour of movie-made music legends so convincing you’ll swear you saw them on tour. From metal gods who melted amps to soulful crooners who made us believe in the power of a horn section, these fictional bands left fingerprints all over pop culture—and in some cases, chart history! Inside this episode: 🎸 THE FAKE BAND HALL OF FAME • Spinal Tap — The loudest, proudest, and most catastrophically clueless metal band ever created. They didn’t make the top spot… they DESTROYED it. • The Blues Brothers — A rhythm-and-blues rampage that turned suits and sunglasses into a religion. • The Commitments — Proof that Irish soul is not only real—it can raise the dead. • The Wonders — The ‘60s pop band that gave us one of cinema’s catchiest earworms. (You’re humming it now, aren’t you?) • Eddie and the Cruisers — A band so mysterious fans still argue about whether their story was actually fiction. • Daisy Jones & The Six — A modern masterpiece that feels like Fleetwood Mac had a baby with a rock documentary. • School of Rock — When detention becomes destiny and kids shred harder than grown men in leather pants. PLUS THE BROTHERS GO OFF THE RAILS (as usual): 🚓 BUSTED When criminals forget to think: • The lasagna-loving burglar who ate himself unconscious • The robber who wore his own name tag to the crime You can’t make this stuff up… but thankfully, someone did. 🎙️ ROCK TALK with Todd Snider What do Led Zeppelin stairwells, bathroom echo chambers, and bizarre recording hacks have in common? More rock history than your high school ever taught you. 🐖 RANDOM FACTS • The man whose ashes literally rest in a Pringles can • A group of flamingos = a flamboyance (which honestly feels right) • And yes… the fact about the pig. The very long, very disturbing fact about the pig. WHY YOU CAN’T MISS THIS EPISODE Because no other show can take you from fictional rock gods, to criminal idiots, to porcine passion, and somehow make it all feel like one glorious journey through the absurdity of entertainment history. By the time it's over, you won't just love fake film bands—  you’ll want to start one. 🎧 Tune in, turn it up, and tell your friends. Next week: Cult Metal Classics — and trust us, it gets even weirder. Support the show [https://paypal.me/BackinTimeBrothers] Thanks for listening.

High School Hits of the 70s

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1221452/open_sms] The Back in Time Brothers: High School Hits of the 70s Get ready to jump, get ready to sway! Join DJ Paulie and his brother Lou—The Back in Time Brothers—as heard on URL radio for a wild trip back to the 70s.  We’re diving deep into the High School Hits of the 70s, the tracks that became the soundtrack to growing up in the decade of lava lamps and Letterman jackets. Lace up your sneakers and crank the volume as we revisit the rock anthems that blasted out of Trans Ams, including Ted Nugent’s guitar-fueled "Strangle Hold", Deep Purple's "Highway Star" (a badge of cool for teens who loved cars and guitars), and Head East’s "Never Been Any Reason," often nicknamed the rock and roll national anthem. We’ve got the full rock spectrum, from the raw blues-driven rocker "Tush" by ZZ Top, to the ultimate cruising music, Fog Hat’s "Slow Ride", all the way up to Edgar Winter Group’s feel-good classic, "Free Ride". And when the lights dimmed at the gym? We’ve got the ultimate teenage heartbreak ballad, Nazareth’s "Love Hurts," which filled high school proms. But we’re more than just classic rock! The Back in Time Brothers bring the laughs with their infamous segments: * Rock Talk: 70s Fads: Expert Todd Snyder deep-dives into the wonderfully weird world of 70s culture. We explore everything from the infamous Pet Rock (which sold over 1.5 million units for $3.95 a piece), to the mystical and pseudoscientific mood ring, and the bizarre cultural juggernaut of streaking (a competitive sport on college campuses). We’ll also look at how Happy Days gave us the phrase “jump the shark” when The Fonz water-skied over one! * Stupid Criminals: Tune in for a weekly lineup of losers, dimwitted schemes, and laughable mistakes. Hear about the woman busted for dressing in a hot dog costume and covering her neighbor's car in toilet paper, or the man who decided to sell marijuana to raise money to afford police academy. * Random Facts: Lou and Paul share bizarre scientific and animal tidbits, like how one teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh billions of tons and why a bearcat smells like hot buttered popcorn! * Bad Dates: Listen to real-life dating disasters, including a guy who threw the ends of French fries on the floor, another who immediately called his blind date "average looking", and a disastrous encounter involving a Bills-themed man cave and a perplexing "mommy kink". So, slip on those bell bottoms, adjust the leisure suit lapels, and get ready to be taken on a free ride. The Back in Time Brothers are bringing the sound and the laughs!

Join the brothers for this week's episode, "From Fame to Fizzle." The highlight of the show is DJ Brit’s in-depth countdown segment focusing on the theme "From Fame to Fizzle: Hyped and gone artists of the 80s and 90s". Brit counts down the musical acts that shot to the top quickly, grabbed headlines, and then "faded from the spotlight almost as quickly as they arrived". Featured artists include the one-hit wonder Marcy Playground ("Sex and Candy"), Crash Test Dummies, Robbie Neville ("C'est La Vie"), Sophie B. Hawkins ("Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover"), Cutting Crew ("I Just Died in Your Arms"), and Terrence Trent D'Arby ("Wishing Well"), whom critics once compared to Prince. In addition to the countdown, the episode features several fan-favorite segments: * Rock Talk: Host Todd Snyder chases ghosts in "The Lost Album"segment. Todd delves into records that were fully written, recorded, or sometimes even pressed, but never officially released due to circumstances ranging from spiritual visions and paranoia to perfectionism or simple theft.

Stories include thieves busted after pulling their getaway vehicle into a drive-thru car wash, a prisoner who got lost inside the ductwork, a man who robbed the tattoo shop where he just got a distinctive tattoo, and a man in Malaysia who performed DIY surgery to implant metal balls that later began to rust. * Random Fat Fat Fat Facts: The brothers share strange trivia, covering topics such as the slight time lag in brain perception (about 50 milliseconds), the Malagasi chameleon's short life, the spiny anteater's four-headed penis, the fact that ear wax is a fancy type of sweat, and how dolphins play with puffer fish to get a buzz. * Crazy Classifieds: The show introduces a new segment featuring humorous and bizarre classified ads, including a search for a roommate who must love true crime documentaries at 3 AM and a dating ad seeking a companion who enjoys off-key shower concerts and brings tacos.
