Speaker 3 (00:54):
Oh? Your accent's phenomenal. You're fantastic.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh that I was.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I was incredibly blessed to be able to get introduced
to you. Thank God for Google and YouTube and Instagram,
and I've just had a blast going through your stuff
and your style and taste in music is just phenomenal.
Anything I tell you you, if you ever give up
your career, you have to go into placing music into

(01:21):
movies because it's just goodfellas Casino. I mean, you must
have chosen all of the best music for those scenes.
I mean, I love it. Anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I had to give you that note and thank you
for that because I can tell you I spent a
lot of time putting the right lyrics to what I'm
doing out there in the field. They have money, Okay,
every one of those songs have meaning to those videos,
believe or not. But I don't just pick music out
of nowhere.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
I can tell I could tell. I mean not being
a filmmaker. I feel the music with the scenes and
the videos. So I'm just incredibly impressed. I had to
tell you that before I forgot that's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Thank you for tell the listeners in thirty three states.
And we have you on an audio device called Sammy Chatter,
so I'll teach you about that afterwards. We'll drop it
to you and get you on this. We're doing this
with all of our guests. We can go on actually
talk to people live, and then you can see their faces.

(02:16):
I don't know if you can see what I'm showing
you right now.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
No I can't, but that's right.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well we'll teach you about that anyway. So they're joining
in the conversation. So what you start with your career?
Go ahead, talk about Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
So I am an award winning filmmaker. I say that
very modestly, but I put it out there because I've
won I think at this point, maybe eleven awards. I'm
a filmmaker at hot I'm also an actor and a writer.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
You know that's called an actor, but we call it
an actor. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Actor.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, I sound like you.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
I never thought of that as a matter of fact,
and now from now on, whenever I say it now,
I'm gonna think to you, I love that. So I
did a mob movie about well ten years ago, a
little more than that. It was shot north of Boston,
and it went on to win several awards. It won
Best Film and Best Director at the Beverly Hills Film Festival.

(03:11):
It was called Boys. It did very good independently different
theaters around the country did awesome, especially in New England.
So what happened was my family and I we had
uped and moved to I was still going back and
forth constantly, but we uped and moved here to Florida,
which were actually moving out of in about a week

(03:33):
or two. And we did that back in twenty fourteen,
ten years ago. So back in ninety six, when I
first went out to la for film, I was told
I had an accent. It didn't really stick out to
me though. It was the first time I had heard
I have an accent. I thought only people.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
I was at the first time you left Boston, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Think it was I was twenty What was I twenty three?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Maybe?

Speaker 3 (03:56):
So coming out here it was a huge culture shock
because I would say to somebody, would get to talk
in and yes, They're like, oh wow, you do commercials,
you do videos? Yes, I do cool. I said, all right,
give me a second, I'm gonna go to the car.
I'm gonna get you a cod. They're gonna They're like,
you're gonna go where do what? And I'm like, how

(04:19):
are they not understanding what I'm saying. However, my biggest
culture shock was going into a Dunkin Donuts here in Florida,
and I ended up asking. At the time, they had
a certain oat meal I was trying. I was on
a health kick, and I said, can I get a
hotty blueberry oatmeal? And the girl started turning beat red

(04:41):
tomato red, and it was like, what's the issue? What's
going on? And so the manager comes out and he says, sir,
you cannot be inappropriate with my employees and be calling
them hotties. I said, buddy, I asked for a hottie
blueberry oat meal, and it was is just a riot

(05:01):
to me. So from that I wrote a I was
doing a lot of skits at the time on pumpkin spice,
anything you can think of, selfies, whatever. So I did
a skit where it was on the Boston accent and
I was just role playing with my two kids, basically
reality out here. It caught on so well. At the time,

(05:23):
it was only YouTube, there was no TikTok, Instagram, Facebook.
It caught on so well that I started to make
several of these in between, you know, going around the
country filming commercials, all that fun stuff, and it just
caught on so don well that I just kept doing it,
and somewhere in between, I took a break, but when

(05:46):
TikTok and Instagram and Facebook started to do video, I
came back and just even in the past year, it's
done so incredibly well. And how I'm really doing is
displaying real life.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
You know, no, no, no, no, gone, okay, but that's real
life of Boston, right. So, yes, Boston is a really
funny city to grow up in.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Right.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
So, as you know, if you grew up in the
North Shore, you talk one way. Yes, if you grow
up the South Shore, you grow you talk a different,
different accent, a little bit inside Boston, it's not a
little bit of a different accent. Then you go up
to the richerd communities like Newton, Brookline, Whalen, Weston, they
all talk proper, right, My kids talk properly. So if
you have Seammy talk and you hear me talk, it's

(06:36):
completely different. Right. Because she went to school in Newton
and I went to school on the North Shore, and
then I had the culture shock and they moved me
to Newton. I'm like, what are we doing here? This
is like crazy? These kids a week and they thought
I talk funny, right, I go, no, I don't talk
funny you people talk funny you people. Oh yeah, you
know what. So on this social audio, when I go

(06:58):
on I say you people, people will take that as
like a dig, like I'm putting you down. What do
you mean, new people, Cindy, like I'm being ulting. That's
just how we say you people. But people don't understand
that it's us saying that you people. We all going
like you people all going, We're all going to meet
dealing with them for dinner. You people all going. I

(07:18):
mean that's absolutely We also can be very insulting soul
and not even though we're being insulting, like I know exactly,
we just kind of I think we're well. Like Chad said,
your axent makes you tougher, and then you're in construction moms,
so like you got every layer coming against you. Thank god.

(07:39):
He used to say, thank god you're pretty, because if
you weren't, mom, everybody would just think that you were
you know. You know what I'm talking about it that
I'm with the other side back in the Yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
It's perfect.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
When you do your your skits, you're always using real
true Boston character, and I think that's just you. Whether
you're a character.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, it is, well, it definitely is now. It's authentically me.
When I first started, it was different because back in
twenty fifteen sixteen, social media was doing wait.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
We're gonna hold that thought, we're going to break this
ten minute just flew right by. I'm sitting some point
you listen, Toughest Nails will be right back and welcome
back to Toughest Nails on WBZ News Radio ten thirty
and I'm here Frustrated Women. I gotta get kind of frustrated.
It came in the song frustrated Women and I'm here
with Sammy and I'm here with the Boston dad.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
When you listen to Macky Wahlberg or any of the
guys from Boston, right, and you listen to the donkey
commercials they do and everything, I'm sure you've seen it, right,
it's been a big run.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Or you know, they'll go through Casey Affleck, They'll they'll
go through the what pissa means like, we don't call
it pok a book, a purse, we call.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
It a pocket book.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Right, So that's right. It's not going through the names
of things that we say here that people think clicker
let him do it. He's the Boston. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
it's true.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Absolutely. I actually when I first got hold on.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
My producer, but well hold on, my producer calls it
what no pocketbook? No, Boston calls it pocketbook.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Everyone else is a course, it's a person. Yeah, exactly
every day. Yeah, that was. That was one of the
words I got made fun of. Actually, this was in
California a lot because I kept saying pocketbook and remote
was always a clicker and it didn't even matter, and
a wheel was a tie and it just yeah, constantly, constantly.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
You know, So, what what are some of the things
that you use out there that people like that we used?
Is it this pissa the wicked?

Speaker 3 (09:49):
There's wicked with everything, there's no question about it. Uh, definitely,
banga yuie, that's that like that was they thought I
was being inappropriate completely calling a turn about a rotary. Definitely.
That was a big culture shock for a lot of people.

(10:11):
And you know, words like that are phrases that I
knew my whole life that I didn't know they were
set any differently. I figured around the nation, these these
are the words that everybody uses. This is how everybody talks.
And uh, you know that everybody eats fluff. That a
fluff uta.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Is a no no, no no, that's a Boston thing. Yeah. No,
I learned that. I learned that when I went down
to Florida. I went up and down public school, where's
your fluff? And they're like, yeah, marsh Millow, what's marshmallow?

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well that well that I made a video on that
that actually happened to me, uh that they didn't know
where they were or, to be honest with you, I
did and it did very very well. I did a
video recently where I asked people, are these called to
use sprinkles or are they Jimmy's. I did didn't know
what sprinkles were because Buffalo, and they're like, I said,

(11:04):
can I have Jimmy's on my ice cream? And I
was being told listen, you got to.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Be campful, thin chocolate Jimmies or colored Jimmy's. Yeah, yeah,
you think about it was.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
I was told be careful because that could come off
as being very racist to me. And I said, oh boy,
I mean, I mean obviously I don't want to do that.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
So I wanted the chocolate it was Jimmy's. And if
I wanted the colorful, the sprinkles.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
So you called your generation called the color ones, the
colorful ones, sprinkles, sprinkles.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
I can go with that. You know.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh, people very sensitive today, Okay, yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Agree one hundred percent. I think it's a little too
much I've gotten. I got several messages I just didn't,
you know, not being rude. I didn't respond to them
as to why people were giving very long explanations on
why I shouldn't even.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Do yeh know, don't listen those people. You know what
I do though, I love to fight back with them
because it's a sport. Oh I do. I engage because
it's a sport for me. Right, So you want to
take a blow at me, I'm coming back with you
on you.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
I really am exactly. Go.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Look that's a Boston thing for sure, but go look
at the go look at some of my Look at
the one point six million views on that one that
went viral.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Now I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, thank you that it has a money thing like this,
and you have to see. I call them soy boys
that come in, Yeah, I call them the boys that
come in like they just want to throw haymakers, that
mean for no reason, right, and then when I come
back and say, body, don't let me emasculate you right now, Okay,
like I need some of the comments.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
It is a lot of fun. It is a lot
of fun at times. Definitely, I don't want to get
to me.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
It's technically a sport. It's a sport. It's a sport
for me when I'm born at eleven o'clock at night
every sleep, and I'm like, okay, I'm going to get
back at this dude.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well that's something similar happened to me.
One of the video that did go viral. Somebody said,
this is absolutely not funny at all. I don't know
why it did as well as it did. And I
answered back and I go, I'm glad you thought it
wasn't funny, because when it happened to me, it wasn't funny.
But I said, what's funny is how many hundreds of

(13:15):
thousands of people find it funny. They didn't reply at all.
I said, man, that was a good comeback. So if
I have a good one, I'm going to go for it.
But if I don't, I'll leave it alone.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
We just did. He moves his fists, right, that's what
we do. It's just the thing we do. What are
some of the words that we use here that we
literally because sometimes even when I talk, I'm like, oh,
I just sounded so stupid with that accent. Have you
ever had that feeling when you're talking and you're in
a room and I'm in a room with bankers and whatever,
and I don't pronounce my cars and and they're looking

(13:47):
at you like, oh, you know, I asked the guys
I know graduate at Harvard jail, be you Northeast and
blah blah blah blah blah. We keep going right brown,
and here comes Cindy in with you know, that heavy accent.
I never got rid of.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
No, but I'm going to assume that that's what makes
you me who you are and what Yes, that's what
makes you so unique, especially as a successful woman in
business and doing what you do. I mean, that's amazing
because that really sets you apot And I'm going to
assume that that's what maybe, and I say this respectfully

(14:23):
makes you to a lot of maybe guys out there
that are in your field, maybe more like maybe intimidating.
That's like, man, she's a tough one. She's not coming
in like this Cinderella, prim and Propa. Even though God
bless you you look great, it's you're not coming in
with that, you know, you're just wow. And I think
that's that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
That nic love God look at I'll under a lot
of comments. I always say, then that makes your real man.
I've been dealing with these hits for thirty eight years.
Oh here, I'm used to them. But it's funny when
guys come in and go, wow, we got a lot
of mummy issues in this on this link right. Oh,
it's actually really been more of the white young guys
taking hits at me and not really yeah. Yeah, and

(15:07):
then the black guys will coming go and they put
them right in their place. Right they've been so so
you see the difference. Like it's like these white boys
that are so insecure in their late thirties, got nothing
better to do than to troll, and to do that right. Yes,
And I got into messages with guys on my Instagram.
I'm like, why do you guys keep having my back?

(15:28):
There's like six or seven that keep coming in, but
they don't know each other. They just keep coming. They said, Cindy,
we know the grit and grind. We can see the
grit and grind in people like you're the real deal, right,
these guys are just these guys are just idiots. But
I'm used to it. It's just kind of the business.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
But for you, was that a culture? Was that a
shock for you, like on social media because you're used
to being very respected and in your field when you
started doing social media, when you started getting they when
you when you were doing very well on social media,
was that like whoa.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Oh no, it was a little mind blowing. When I
went to TV on HG TV and then my accent
on HG TV, which is taped out of HG TV's
out of Knoxville, Tennessee, let's go you know, call it
what is OK?

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:18):
So like you know, it's they got this. Boston brought
them there for a streamale builder. You know, they didn't
pick up Polly In again. They went right after a
hot course Cindy Stumpo. But I would say that was
the first time in my career that Samantha, my ex husband,
somebody would be coming over the house and taking my
laptop away from me because I would get on the

(16:40):
HG TV side and go, yeah, really and you have
to learn or you decide TV's not for you, right,
I didn't like the hits. You didn't know me. You're
from Boise, Idaho. What the hell you're talking about me
for right now? Again, as you get older and you
you know, you just do I process anything differently, say me?
Do I still go after people?

Speaker 2 (17:00):
But I think that that was a bigger shock that
you were women in a man's field then. And it's
not as crazy as it was than it is now.
Like it was, it was more intense than on HG TV.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, I'm sure for their core audience.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, the self way you are hated my guts, self
hated me.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
And as we got further down the cell, that's like
women shouldn't talk to men that way.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Why they're more were more like women should work.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, when you really went way down south, it was
like women should be doing that job, they should be
working in the office and all of it. Yeah, I
can't do it all. It's okay, I'm still standing, I think.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, I'll let you know, well, that's obvious better than ever.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'll let you know what. I'm catching flies. I'm in
Belmont at McLean's.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Okay, nice, that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Yeah, so what makes you you?

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Uh, it's very unique, it's very real. I like, I
like where it's at now versus where it was. I
think again. H was interesting when I first started was
because I'm a filmmaker. At hot Is, I was making
more skits, writing a lot of these things, like you

(18:12):
go back to the earlier ones. They did very very well,
but they were like skits inside of Duncan donuts like
you see with the you know, Casey Affleck and the
ben Affleck commercials, very much stuff like that. A lot
of dances in their jingles.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
I thought, we're going to break, We're going to break you.
Listen toughes Nails on WBZ and we'll be right back
and welcome back to Toughest Nails on WBZ. And I'm
here with Sammy, and I'm here with Boston Dad, right,
Boston Dad. Silver, Darryl silver. Yes, how would you pronounce
that silver? Silver?

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah? You can? Yeah, there you go perfect. I like
that silver.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah it's not silver.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
No, No, it definitely is not that. Though I know
some people with that last name.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Do you do this? I do this? I don't know
if you do this. I don't put ours where they belong.
But then I'll call Samantha and then she says, Florida, Florida, Samantha,
why do I add the as Samantha?

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Definitely, I put them within.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Where it's not there.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh I love that.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
That's I take the premarter, so I stick them on something.
We're going to Florida, right, we're going. Yeah, Samantha, I
don't know why you do that. I don't know why
I do it either, but you have to admit. But
look at I kindly deal with Southern for so long too,
and I want to dope slip down in the back
of the head Scott Burton out there because he talks so,

(19:45):
you know, so slowly that it's like we we're so
fast here, like we got to get the rita's digest.
Let's just go. And then you talk to people in
the past, ma'am and uh, and don't call me miss
Cindy because I feel like they that I'm above you,
and I don't like that feeling.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
You know. Yeah, that's very common out here.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
And just don't call me me and don't call.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
They feel like they're being disrespectful if they don't do that.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, I know, but we're all equal. So just chant
in that school too, So being in Florida from being
in Boston. M H. Boston made you the character.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Absolutely, And I have to say I wouldn't have come
up with the concept if it wasn't a matter of
not being there at the time. I had to have
been elsewhere wherever that was going to be, And this
happened to be the place because there it was just
extremely common. Didn't think nothing of it, even if I

(20:55):
would travel and hear that those particular specific words, not
words everyone said. The misunderstanding of the accent would not
have come about if not being in another place for
a significant amount of time. So I have to thank
leaving there in order to be able to have come
up with this.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Who's resonating with you out there New England is because
we don't sell like New Yorkers. And I hate when people,
when I'm on social audio go oh city from New York. No,
I don't sound like I'm from New York.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Let me here's a question.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, good.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
What do you hope viewers take away from your content?

Speaker 3 (21:33):
I think at this point entertainment and education. I think
those are the two.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Why were you educating people on the Boston accent?

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Not necessarily. I think now I've kind of gone into
famous facts about Boston, famous foods that were invented in Boston.
And even recently, one of the segments I started and
I'm doing POT three tonight or tomorrow is things parents
said to us growing up.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
And like they're playing traffic, So huh, like go play
in traffic.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yes, that'll be that'll be tonight or the next one. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
I want your parents to that around the country. If
you got the parents did that around the country, ask
people on social media, they've ye, your parents told them
to go walk in traffic, go play in traffic. And
what was go put your play clothes on? Was that
last year's clothes that we put on? I don't I
don't even know.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, absolutely, one hundred and so that I've enjoyed a
lot because now you're getting common well actually, even the
Boston content. If I'll go to YouTube, somebody will say
I'm from Texas, or I'm from England, or I always
wanted to learn about the New England dialect, I'm from India.

(22:51):
I mean, you'll be surprised how many people truly enjoyed that.
And you know, I think by Duncan, for example, bringing
on these Boston themes.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
He's talking about duncandos guy.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
I see, yeah, they see significance and that this would
do well even though it's targeted towards uh, New England
per se.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
But if you notice Boston, it's either we talk like
us or it's like this, darling, Yeah, let's go to
the country club and Brookline and play a game of golf. Yeah,
I rather shoot myself.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
And that actually was another culture shock to me as well,
is when I would go out to say Newton and
other spots in New England and realize that not everybody said, menga,
what are you going to do?

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Means meinga Italian. It's minga. It's your move, hands up
and down. It's like minga exactly means right now.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah. Yeah, So where did you grow up?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Where'd you grew up in Boston?

Speaker 3 (23:59):
I was born in Lawrence and raised between Lawrence and Methuen.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
So you technically, oh god, you're like really really really
poor because that was like really poor. Well I.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Actually, actually what's interesting, I actually experienced a little bit
of both. I mean, so I would say growing up
it was definitely more.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
All right, So if you if you came to Rea
East Boston, those areas, we were really much more hardcore
than you guys were.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Well, I mean different because where I grew up, I
mean I actually was able to experience very much the
Italian kind of real Italian heritage, which is why I
say ming gear a lot, and you know, like talk
with my hands a ton and have a lot of that,
you know, And that's why a lot of people will say,

(24:51):
and I've had haters say, you're not even from Boston,
You're in New York or you're from Jersey, trying to
talk like Boston, and it's because of a lot of
that Italian acting. But at the same time, it was
cool because right next door in Lawrence, you had a
lot of the you know, Hispanics and stuff like that
inner city. So it was it was suburbia and inner

(25:14):
city kind of intertwined. So I was able to kind
of get a good mix of that, which I thought
was great.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
So you don't it was a Celtic park, you don't
use this word. This was the one that would get
under my skin and my parents if a kid came
over as us guys going.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's great.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
I mean yeah, I mean no, you sound like an
idiot if you say as yous. Guys going use guys going,
Oh my god, was that you?

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Well? It was interesting because, you know, through the seventies
and eighties, you know, because of the success of a
lot of the Italian movies, you know, everybody wanted to,
you know, be Italian at one point. I think, even
to a degree now, I think everybody kind of especially
with the sopranos and everything. People love that type of stuff.
It does very well, which is why in the movie

(26:08):
that we're getting ready to do, there's a lot of
that Italian theme that's in there also, and I think
that's why the Mafia movie I did did really well. Also,
I think there's always going to be a market for
that type of stuff.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh yeah, but it'll eventually end in like nineteen eighty two,
because by the late eighties we were it was done.
Now it's just a bunch of wanna bees running around.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Right Yeah. Oh yeah, I'm.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Not saying that. Actually, I take that back. New York
is still in New York, Boston is still but again,
I mean I take that all back. Yeah, Okay, I
just I just reverssed my views on that gate. That's okay,
but it's okay again. You know, I think that a
lot of people. And when you go into social audio
and they hear the way I talk, they like, Cindy,

(26:57):
say that again, and Cindy, what'd you say? Or and
I want to you just said, because you stretch the
word out so long that I don't even know what
you just said.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah, And then I'm fair. Did you realize you're such
a You're a character and you didn't even know that?
So that added to in my opinion, a lot of
what you you know, ended up becoming or who you
were or who you still are. It makes you, It
actually creates a character about you or in you, and
you don't even realize that till you get to a

(27:27):
certain point. And I didn't realize it as well. And
then I said, oh, let me.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Do something, let me embrace my character.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, yeah, you're a character. You are you are, and
so you're you know, you know.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Some people could take that as an insult, and some
people could take as a compliment. But the truth is,
I'd rather be a character than a dry being like
that has no.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
So don't worry.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
A stiff. I don't want to ever be a stiff. Rather,
you're not.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
I I promise you're not that.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, it's crazy, it is crazy. Give me ten words
that you really get picked up part in Boston.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Yeah, Hotta, definitely. I'm going with again the two words
that got me into three words that got me into
a significant amount of trouble in the beginning, cod ca
hot Like I told you the Duncan story, it was
hotty because it sounds like you're calling somebody a hotty.
And that was again the further especially her, the furthest

(28:32):
thing from my mind. And yeah, so it's just those
and again you always put wicked in front of everything,
and you know that thought.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
We're going back to break This is Cindy Stump. When
you listen to Tough as Nails on WBZ, we'll be
right back. Welcome back to Toughest Nails on WBZ News Radio
ten thirty. And we're back with Sammy, and we're back
with I don't know, some dude that has a heavy
acent whatever you want to call him, what's his name? Yeah,
I think i'm.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
You you are heavy.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
I think I am.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Yeah, yeah, I know you are.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Definitely you're making me feel like i'm very smart. Yeah,
you are wicked, smart, wicked.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
You don't need me to You don't need me to
tell you. It's all over the internet.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Thank you, Annie would.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Chad asked, she's going to ask if someone with single.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
You have any single friends chat? Were you you're in
Texas chat?

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Are there any upcoming projects or collaborations that your followers
can look forward to?

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Oh, my gosh, perfect question. She's a genius.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yes, all right, so she's the educated one from Newton.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yes, next month. I am so excited. Script is finished, fun, educated,
very hot, warming as well. We are starting our Boston
Dad feature film. It is the follow up feature film.
My last feature length film was the award winning mom
movie Boys. We're starting it next month and we uh,

(29:57):
I'm putting that out there seeking a few more our
product placement partners for the movie and product placement for
people that don't know. Very simple. When you watch any
movie TV show, you see the Sony Vio computer, you
see the can of pepsi. Those are the products and

(30:17):
that's part of product placement. However, what we're doing being
it's an indie movie and we have the power to
do it. It's our film. We are putting the product
placement pot and is in the actual movie. And if
there is a character per se from that particular product
or business that is not shy and would like to

(30:40):
do a cameo in the movie with the product or
the business, we would love to include that as well.
So that is what we are doing, and that is
a way that we are helping to finance the indie film,
which I think is modestly.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
And when I was on TV, no name brands could
be seen unless they were paying for advertised. Yes, they
were shipping the clothes north Face. We could have north Face,
we could have Levis on, we could have Boots on,
Hallie Hansen. But if I ever had a water bottle
they had, it would have to strip it right off.

(31:15):
Whatever I had, I would cover my labels and my shirts.
That's said no advertising to those people.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
M yep.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
That's when I learned, I gotta take the plastic poles,
spring off the bottle. I'm thirsty. Yep, they come running
over right off. We're not giving anybody any advertising unless
they're paying. But a lot of people don't even know that.
What was Chad asking. Chad asked a lot of smart
questions because that's asked.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
I asked the other one already to She was the
one asked if anybody had isn't.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Chat in this somebody over on uh Chowder is in
the movie business. I don't know. I don't I don't know.
I that it was chat, but maybe that could be wrong.
I never know. I can't keep up with people. I'm
loosing my mind.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
You have a lot on your plate.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
I got a town on my plate, a town of
my plate.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
You do you do like you said the other day,
you said, oh, com exhausted, I said, you are blessed.
I'm like, when that time comes years from now you
leave this earth, you'll say I left the legacy.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
You know with a Boston accent.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Yeah, that well, that being one of many.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
I'm going to ask you a personal question. I can
answer this honestly. Let me see if you answered honestly,
if you could get rid of that Boston accent not
as heavy as it is, and sound a little bit
more articulate without bringing that Boston sling. And I didn't
ask you the question yet, Blonde, I'm asking him the question. Yes, Sam, Yes, Samseley.

(32:45):
Would you want to calm it down?

Speaker 3 (32:47):
I would nickname her the Sam stuff like I nickname
everybody like seriously, and that aggravates people outside of New
England A lot of times. I love nicknaming people, But
go ahead, what should be your nickname?

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Samster?

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Oh, the samam stuff, the sam stuff, the saff definitely.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
I mean in high school everyone's like stumpy Stump.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Oh. I wouldn't have called you that.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah, oh yeah, terrible name then. But my point is
the question was if you could have brought it down somewhat,
and it's hard to do. This is the way we
grew up. And you're walking into a business meeting with
other guys and you know they're already judging you by
the way you talk, right, would you have calmed it down?

Speaker 3 (33:31):
No? No, no, definitely no, not at all.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Never bothered you because I.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Mean, I want you want people to love you authentically
for you when they fall in love with you. You
want it to be because it's you and whatever and
whoever you are.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
No, you never said yourself going to a meeting with
five suits. They're going to speak so articulate and they're
going to pronounce it every word and you're going to
come in like the hoodlum.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
You No, tho, I will tell you this when we
did our Mob movie, I you know, had many meetings
with roundtables where we would treat like these potential potaners
and investors to dinner, God bless them and whatever not.
And the folks that came on board and were very
happy they did. They were all suits and they all

(34:20):
none of them had the accent. One doctor in particular,
blessed Us Hot was still dear friends to this day
from New England, no accent whatsoever. He purposely got rid
of it. He was our biggest partner and investor. So
and I was always just who I am. So no,
I think being who I am and who I've been

(34:41):
has always been a blessing to me. And if you
don't fit with it, then you just don't fit in
my life.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
And then so the reason I'm asking Sammy, there's one
woman that comes on chatter and when she speaks, and
she's from Boston. I hear the way she speaks. I'm like,
do I sound like that? My is my accent like that?

Speaker 2 (35:04):
I love nothing more than watching you room with everyone
that has all these accolades and all these things and
all these.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Slow down because I can appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
When I'm in that room with you and all these
people that you think that are smarter than you, and
you basically can eat them alive. And I think the
accent makes you stronger because of that. Your your accent
commands the room. Yeah, most of them that are so smart,
they're like.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Yeah, yeah, and your name. And your name is perfect
because it has a very Italian ring to it. I
grew up with a very dear friend of mine up
the street from me. His name was a very very
close friend to this day, Mike Stumpo, And uh yeah,
I love that related. I'm gonna yeah, it has stumple,

(35:51):
it has like that. It's strong, I'm gonna stump on you.
I don't know, it's just and it has a great ring.
I don't know if you purposely plan that, but I perfectly.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Planned that it went from Leonarti to Stumpo. Nod kind
of planned that one. I'd be able to have kept
Leonotti if I could have.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Right, Yeah, that one's great too. But I mean just
your name now has a movie star ring to it.
That that whole syllable thing. I love that.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
So you wouldn't change a thing.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
No, oh gosh, no, not at all, absolutely not, no.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
You know it's Sammy. I'm gonna agree with Sammy. When
I walk into a room with a bunch of suits
like that, I do take over that room yourself. I do.
Even in chatter, those people in Chadow, they make fun
of my accent.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
But you're smart.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
I'm not smart than Chad.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Chadd is so smart, I said chatter specifically.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
I don't care a lot of these people much smarter
than me. I just know my world. I know my business.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
You're more successful than that.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Doesn't matter about money. Money doesn't make you smart, just
makes life easier. Don't do not forget said money does
not make you smart. I know guys have graduated.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I said success. I didn't say money.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Oh maybe, yeah, I'm pretty successful. I can't take that
away from me. I know I won't disparage myself on
that one. But at the end of the day, I
just I don't know. It's like it's when you talk
and I'm listening to you on videos, I'm like, yikes,
does he really have a boss? Acent?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
But yeah, well, and I will tell you it's authentic.
But you know, like I've had people comment before, oh,
you're over exaggerating, And there's no question. Different videos for
if you're going more comedic, you're I said the wrong
I said, you're using the rod work. Excuse me, the
wrong word. It's not exaggerate, you're embellishing.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
And I have a fiance that says that we what's
the word bast size? Every word? Is that the word?
I don't know that. That's what we do to the
English language here?

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Oh yeah, whatever, it's it's the same thing when my mother,
Yeah English.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Well, not everybody walk off the Mayflower Ross Okay, might
not speak too much the Mayflower. We didn't walk off
the Mayflower. Where Irish immigrants amrants Jewish Indian immigrants. Boston
