Lydia Brock is in Los Angeles with the band, along with several other family members.
She said her stepson and his friends have been treated royally by DeGeneres’ show.
“They are not sure where all of this is going to end up for them, but they are enjoying the ride,” Brock said. “It’s been really remarkable — not something they expected or envisioned in their lifetime.”
The foursome has been playing music together since childhood and their parents still live in the Dayton area.
The Ellen video was shot around Christmas at Geez Grill & Pub in Centerville.
Reilich is currently an assistant basketball coach at Indiana University South Bend. Stevie Brock lives in Los Angeles, where he is a singer.
Dan Burtenshaw and Dan Cox still live and work in the area.
The Cream Pies’ band name was inspired by their love of treats from Bill’s Donut Shop, a local favorite.
The Ellen video was a third for the Cream Pies. They also have made comical music videos about ugly Christmas sweaters and Bill's Donut Shop.
Cody Elam, the son of Bill’s co-owners Jim Elam, said Cream Pies members were a few years ahead of him in high school.
He called their songs creative and fun.
“It is local people finally getting some recognition,” Cody Elam said. “It is really nice.”
His aunt Lisa Elam-Tucker co-owns the shop 268 N. Main St.
