I recently learned I was ‘featured’ in a reality TV show, Wilson Phillips: Still Holding On. This didn’t come as much of a surprise for me because we (Sleepless, Ice Cream Man, Tree and BioMom) signed releases the day we were filmed. Being that I have the less than basic cable package, I don’t have the channel on which the show airs, so I had to make a special request to Opreggano to record it. Fortunately, she was willing to do so.
I’ve not yet watched the show, but Opreggano was telling me about it the other day, “They’re pretty catty with each other.” “Hmm, so it’s probably a lot like how our show would be if we had one?” I asked. “Actually, yes,” she replied. Apparently, Sleepless is front and center with her tambourine, Tree is very emotional (crying), I’m singing, Ice Cream Man is in the background, and BioMom’s computer is broken (all you can see are her boobs – the “perks” of being tall).
With all of this new attention, BioMom advised me she is hiring staff/bouncers and then asked, “Where does one staff shop?” “I know some Greeks,” I replied. “I just need staff who could be mobsters. This fame thing is going to my head. Now I just need to develop some kind of bad habit. Thinking sex tapes,” she told me and added, “I just want people to whisper about me behind my mother’s back.” Being a good friend, I told her, “I can do that.”
