re: Reality show stories

A couple of stories

1) there was a TV show called "Flip this House" 15 years ago or so. Richard Davis\Trademark Properties were flipping houses in Myrtle Beach. They were using the same landscapers for their property that did the landscaping for my business.
The landscaping guys were telling me the second day they show up to work on the property and the tv crew tells them to go home and put on the same clothes they wore yesterday. They had to wear the same clothes every day so it'll look they did the entire project in 1 day.

2) 2 other couples and Mrs. ClusterCock and I were staying in Austin TX for a couple of day before the Carolina/Texas A&M game. We went to a restaurant called La Barbeque. They were filming a Food Network show called "Worth waiting in line for". When we got there, there were TV cameras and lights everywhere. We were getting in a little late for lunch and the crowd had thinned out. They asked us if we would be in the show because they needed more footage or something. We had been flying since really early in the morning and were pounding beer.

We agreed to be in the show and signed waivers or something. We go thru the line and they film us ordering and then do it again and film the serving crew.

Then we go sit at our table and begin eating - the food was fantastic, beef barbeque not pork like us South Carolinians are used to.

Anyway the director keeps telling is to be more quiet but we're tired, hungry, tipsy. Just happy to be in Texas with good friends just getting started for a long weekend together.

They tell us the episode will be January 27th or so. We all get together with the same friends and others to see us on TV. We've talked about for months now.

So we sat there waiting to be on and we had been cut out of every scene. I guess we were too rowdy. Anyway, its a good story to tell.
