Speaker 3 (02:29):
I am an award winning filmmaker.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
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.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh my god, actor.

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

Speaker 4 (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 thank to you.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I love that. So I did a mob movie.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
About you know, about 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. It
was called Boys. It did very good independently. Different theaters
around the country did awesome, especially in New England. So

(03:20):
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.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Of in about a week or two.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
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 wh.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
I was that the first time you left Boston?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, I think it was. I was twenty What was
I twenty three? Maybe?

Speaker 4 (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?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
What? Yes?

Speaker 4 (04:08):
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 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

(04:29):
up asking. At the time they had a certain oat
meal I was trying to I was on a health kick,
and I said, can I get a hotty blueberry oatmeal?
And the girl started turning beat red 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.

(04:53):
I said, Buddy, I asked for a hottie blueberry oat meal,
and it was is just a riot 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

(05:15):
just role playing with my two kids, basically reality out here.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
It caught on so well.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
At the time, 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.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Somewhere in between I took a break.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
But when 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. Right. 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're talking different, different accent a little bit
inside Boston, it's not a little bit of a different accent.

(06:25):
Then you go up to the Richard communities like Newton, Brookline, Whalen, Weston,
they all talk proper, right, My kids talk proper. So
if you have Seammy talk and you hear me talk,
it's 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

(06:48):
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 the social audio, when I
go 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 something.
That's just how we say you people. But people don't

(07:09):
understand that it's us saying that you people. We all going,
like you people all going, We're all going to meet
down the North End for dinner. You people all going.
I 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,

(07:32):
your axent makes you tougher, and then you're in construction, mom,
so like you got every leger coming against you. Thank god.
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 4 (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.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Wait, we're gonna hold that thought, we're going to break this.
Ten minutes 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 Gonna get kut 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 it.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
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.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's true.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Absolutely. I actually when I first got hold on.

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

Speaker 3 (09:20):
It's a person every day. Yeah, that was.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
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. You know.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
So, what are some of the things that you use
out there that people like that we used? Is it
this pissa, this wicked?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
There's wicked with everything, there's no question about it. Uh, definitely,
banga yuie.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
That's that like that was they thought I was.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Being inappropriate completely calling a turn about a rotary.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Definitely.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
That was a big culture shock for a lot of people.
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

(10:29):
fluff or nota.

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? Like, yeah, marsh Millow, what's marshmallow?

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
I did a video recently where I asked people, are
these called to use sprinkles or are they Jimmy's. I
didn't know what sprinkles were because Buffalo and they're like,
I said, can I have Jimmy's on my ice cream?

Speaker 3 (11:07):
And I was being told listen, you got to.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Be campful chocolate Jimmies or colored Jimmy's.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, yeah, you think about it.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
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 color for 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.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, I 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 do, you.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
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.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
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. Yeah, thank you that.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
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 saybody, don't let
me emasculate you right now. Okay, like I need some
of the comments.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
It is a lot of fun. It is a lot
of fun at times. Definitely.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
I don't want to get to me. 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 4 (12:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Well that 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 graduated Harvy 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 4 (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 Propha 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 I love that look at I'll under a lot
of comments always say then that makes you a real man.
I've been dealing with these hits for thirty eight years
out here. I'm used to them. But it's funny when
guys come in and go, wow, we've 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 just kind of the business.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
But for you, was that a culture?

Speaker 4 (15:48):
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.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
No, 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 okay? Yeah, so like you know, it's they
got this Boston brought them there for a female boulder.
You know, they didn't pick up Polly In again. They

(16:25):
went right after a hot course Cindy Stumpo.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
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 AHG TV side
and go, yeah, really, and you have to learn or
you decide TV's not for you. Right, I didn't like

(16:49):
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, Sammy 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 as it is now.
Like it was, it was more intense than.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
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 where you are hated my guts still
hated me. And as we got further down the cell,
that's like women shouldn't talk to men that way. Why
they're more like more like women should work. 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 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 (17:46):
So what makes you you.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Uh, it's very unique, it's very real.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
I like, I like where it's at now versus where
it was.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
I think again.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Uh was interesting when I first started was because I'm
a filmmaker.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
At hot Is, I.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Was making more skits, writing a lot of these things,
like you 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 to Top of 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, Daryl 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 (19:01):
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? 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 premar, 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 slept 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 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 South.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
And just don't want to be married. Don't call me me?

Speaker 3 (20:13):
And don't.

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
So just.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Chant in that school too. So being in Florida from
being in Boston.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
M H.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Boston made you the character.

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Just extremely common.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Didn't think nothing of it, even if I would travel
and hear that those particular specific words were 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.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
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. Let me
here's a question, 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?

Speaker 4 (21:45):
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, and.

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

Speaker 4 (22:08):
Yes, office, that'll be, that'll be tonight or the next one. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
I want your parents to that around all the country.
If you go 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 I
don't even know.

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Themes he's talking about duncandos.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
They 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 and let's go to
the country club and Brookline and play a game of golf. Yeah,
I rather shoot myself.

Speaker 4 (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 meinga, what are you gonna?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Dot 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.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, So where did you grow up with the where'd
you grew up in Boston?

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Well actually I 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 right.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
So if you if you came to Rea, East Boston,
those areas we were really much more hardcore than you
guys were, well.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
I mean different because where I grew up.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
I mean I actually was able to experience very much
the Italian kind of real Italian heritage, which is why
I say mingyear 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,
and I've had haters say, you're not even from Boston,

(24:54):
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 us guys going, use guys going,
Oh my god, was that the youth?

Speaker 4 (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 were it was done. Now
it's just a bunch of wanna bees running around.

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

Speaker 1 (26:34):
I'm 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 one 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? 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?

Speaker 4 (27:11):
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
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.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
You're you know, you know, some people could take that
as an insult, and some people could take as a complish.
But the truth is, I'd rather be a character than
a dry being like that.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Has No you're not, so don't worry.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, a stiff. I don't want to ever be a stiff.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
You're not. 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.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
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 thing from my mind.

(28:33):
And yeah, so it's just those and again you always
put wicked in front of everything.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
And you I thought, we're going back to break This
is Cindy Stump. When you listen to Tough as Nails
on w BZ, 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 X and whatever you
want to call him, what's his name? Yeah, I think
i'm you.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
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 making me feel like I'm very smart.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yeah, you are.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Wicked, smart, wicked.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
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 was single, you.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
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.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Script is finished, educated, very hot, warming as well. We
are starting our Boston Dad feature film.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
It is the follow up feature film.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
My last feature length film was the award winning mom
movie Boys.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
We're starting it next month and we uh, I'm putting.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
That out there seeking a few more our product placement
partners for the movie and product placement for people that
don't know.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Very simple. When you watch any.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Movie TV show, you see the Sony Vio computer, you
see the cana pepsi. Those are the products and 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

(30:32):
a character per se from that particular product or business
that is not shy and would like to 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

(30:53):
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 our 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 have would cover my labels and my shirts.
That's said no advertising to those people.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
That's when I learned, I gotta take the plastic poles
fring off the bottle. I'm thirsty. Yep, they come running
over the assist 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 that I asked.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
The other one already to. She was the one asked
if anybody had.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Isn't chat in this somebody over on? Uh chowder is
in the movie business. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I don't know. I that it was Chad, 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 4 (32:02):
You do you do like you said the other day,
you said, oh, come 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 a 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 slaying. And I didn't
ask you the question yet, Blonde. I'm asking him the question. Yes, Sam, Yes, Samsey.

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

Speaker 4 (32:47):
I would nickname her the Sam stuff like I nickname
everybody like seriously, and that aggravates people outside.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Of New England A lot of times. I love nicknaming people,
but go ahead.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
What should be your nickname?

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Samster?

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Oh, the Samamon, the sam stuff, the definitely.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
I mean in high school one'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 (33:30):
No? No, no, definitely no, not at all.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Never bothered you, because I 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're 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.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
When we did our mob movie, I you know, had
many meetings with roundtables where we would treat like these
potential potans 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 none of them had the accent. One doctor

(34:23):
in particular, bless 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
has always been a blessing to me. And if you

(34:44):
don't fit with it, then you just don't fit in
my life.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
And then so the reason why 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.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
These show 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 accent commands
the room. Yeah, most of them that are so smart,
they're like.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
Yeah, yeah, and your name.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
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.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
And uh yeah, I love that related.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
I'm gonna yeah, it has Stumpo, 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.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
That, but I perfectly planned that it went from Leonarti
to Stumpo. No, I didn't kind of planned that one.
I would have kept Leonotti if I could have.

Speaker 4 (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.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
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.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
No, 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 accents.

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. I don't do not forget said money
does not make you smart. I didn't. I know guys
that graduated.

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

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Oh I 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 when you
talk and I'm listening to you on videos, I'm like, yikes,
does he really have a Bosston accent?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
But yeah, well, and I will tell you it's authentic.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
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 the size? Every word? Is that the word?
I don't know that. That's what we do to the
English language here.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
Oh yeah, whatever, it's it's the same thing when my.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Yeah English, well, not everybody walked off the Mayflower Ross Okay,
might not speak to us the Mayflower. We didn't walk
off the Mayflower where Irish immigrants as Jewish Indian immigrants.
Boston is a melting pot.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
It is.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
But if you go to the Brookline Country Club, everybody
looks like it was blonde hair, blue eyes, and muff
uffy and muffy, and they're all into bread.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
They're definitely all into bread. Okay, I think they're all
first cousins, said cousins. They want to keep the money
in the family. I know what they did. We were
going off to break. I'm City Stump. When you listen
