Speaker 1: And welcome to Cindy Stampo tough his nails on WBZ.
Speaker 1: And we're here tonight with my daughter. Are you gonna
Speaker 1: be a mute tonight?
Speaker 2: No, I can't hear myself, but Samantha.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good. And then we have another name that
Speaker 1: ends in a vowel. Here, I'm start to believe all
Speaker 1: I guess names ending vowels lately. And we're here with who.
Speaker 3: My name's Nico Verano. And I'm very gratefully you guys
Speaker 3: had me on.
Speaker 1: Today, okay, And who is Nicko Verano?
Speaker 3: Nico Verano? First off, is the son of Nick and
Speaker 3: Michelle Verno. That's what I always start off with.
Speaker 1: I okay, let me hold you there. Why do you
Speaker 1: always say that NICKI is my dad?
Speaker 3: Because my greatest achievement in life will be being their son.
Speaker 3: We're making them proud. Yeah, one hundred percent. The name
Speaker 3: of my company actually is MMFP, the Holding Companies MMFP.
Speaker 3: Make my father.
Speaker 1: Proud, make my father prout.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom will be proud as long as I'm
Speaker 3: a good person. But my dad takes a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I must be the mom and dad in this family
Speaker 1: takes a little more Okay.
Speaker 2: I just say I'm your daughter. I don't really mention dad.
Speaker 1: Okay. So, but it's a boy that wants to make
Speaker 1: his father proud, right, that's it. Tell my listeners why
Speaker 1: that is, and then we'll get into what you do.
Speaker 3: Because you know, my dad, I think had a much
Speaker 3: different upbringing than the one he gave me. You know,
Speaker 3: he quit school in the ninth grade to basically support himself,
Speaker 3: uh and made a name for himself. And in my opinion,
Speaker 3: you know, he's the best business owner I've ever seen. Period.
Speaker 3: I've been in rooms with you know, fortune five hundred CEOs,
Speaker 3: guys that have started billion dollar companies, and I've never
Speaker 3: been more impressed by them than I have been by
Speaker 3: my dad. So he's your hero, Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: So is there anything that makes you ever feel insecure
Speaker 1: about trying to fill those shoes?
Speaker 3: Well they're massive shoes, absolutely massive shoes to fill. Not
Speaker 3: as big as his pants were to fill.
Speaker 1: Yes, because you don't have that problem. You know, issues
Speaker 1: the go ahead and you must like your mom.
Speaker 3: But but yeah, big shoes to fill. And you know,
Speaker 3: now he's basically carved a path for me. So the
Speaker 3: pressure I feel sometimes is like, am I doing enough
Speaker 3: to head down that path and be successful? But it's
Speaker 3: a pressure that you know, he reminds me of like,
Speaker 3: you know, you don't have to just try to make
Speaker 3: me happy, but it's one of those things that you know,
Speaker 3: if I try every day and have a little bit
Speaker 3: of success, I think will be happy.
Speaker 1: Is it amazing? How old? You know?
Speaker 3: Thirty? Just turn thirty?
Speaker 1: Just ten thirty? And when did you get in your
Speaker 1: head that you wanted to make your parents proud?
Speaker 3: Probably probably at a pretty young age, like probably around
Speaker 3: like ten or twelve.
Speaker 1: At that young of age, Yeah, you knew that you
Speaker 1: wanted to make them proud.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I saw the journey my dad took of
Speaker 3: basically just you know, taking a leap of faith opening
Speaker 3: up a fifty person restaurant in the North End that
Speaker 3: sort of the same Italian food that everybody else served
Speaker 3: in the North End and becoming successful doing that just
Speaker 3: by treating people differently and making sure everybody had a
Speaker 3: great time. And he created a name for himself from nothing.
Speaker 3: So if he's given me the platform by you know,
Speaker 3: moving us from Rivera to Lindfield for a better school
Speaker 3: system and then.
Speaker 1: Gives the they did that to me too. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then from there from west people to Newton, Like we
Speaker 1: just said me, therefore, stop getting these culture sharks. You
Speaker 1: people like, what's wrong my parents?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they you know, they did that and uh
Speaker 3: then he gave me the opportunity to go to college.
Speaker 3: So I was the first one in my family to
Speaker 3: go to college. So you know, what's there's another option
Speaker 3: other than make them proud?
Speaker 1: Is he first generation?
Speaker 3: He is first generation. His parents came over when they
Speaker 3: were pregnant with him, so born here, went back every summer.
Speaker 3: But he was born in Boston.
Speaker 1: That no, yeah, dad was born you know, Dad was
Speaker 1: an oops, but he was born here. Yes, he's who
Speaker 1: isn't an oops though nowadays now I was planned. She
Speaker 1: was definitely planned. At the moment to the.
Speaker 3: Moment, I was an oops.
Speaker 1: I was a big oops chowers Oops too.
Speaker 3: Oops happened.
Speaker 1: Oops, so that happens, okay, but oops are good things too.
Speaker 2: Are you the middle of the oldest?
Speaker 3: I'm the oldest. So I have one younger sister. Her
Speaker 3: name is Marina. She lives out in La Yeah, she's awesome.
Speaker 1: I hear she's selling real estate.
Speaker 3: She is selling realis out there trying to. She has
Speaker 3: one really big listening right now that she's very excited about.
Speaker 1: So good for her. Yeah, so there's two of you.
Speaker 3: Two of us. That's it age gap two and a
Speaker 3: half years?
Speaker 2: How much closer?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so neph years and you both want to Does
Speaker 1: she have the same thing of making dad proud like
Speaker 1: you or more you?
Speaker 3: I think I have it more. She'd probably get mad
Speaker 3: that I said that. I think she has it too,
Speaker 3: But she sees the world the same way that they
Speaker 3: gave us an opportunity, so now we have to capitalize
Speaker 3: on that.
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a difference between first generation kids,
Speaker 1: whether they Italian with Saltimer whatever, of a different upbringing
Speaker 1: than me being a second or third generation American here, I.
Speaker 3: Don't think so. I think if if you have parents
Speaker 3: that instill certain qualities in you, you're going to want
Speaker 3: to work, no matter if your first, second, third, fourth,
Speaker 3: fifth generation. It really just depends on sort of how
Speaker 3: you're raised. And sometimes on the opposite side of the spectrum,
Speaker 3: you're not raised that way and you still want to
Speaker 3: raise your family one day day different way, so you're
Speaker 3: going to work to provide a much different upbringing than
Speaker 3: you had so.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why you will be success successful. It's
Speaker 1: on my opinion, and you already on that road. Is because,
Speaker 1: like you, I wanted to make my dad proud to right.
Speaker 1: That was the goal. I want him to say, now
Speaker 1: that's my daughter, right.
Speaker 3: The biggest compiment you can get.
Speaker 1: One thousand percent. I knew that by probably eighteen seventeen
Speaker 1: eighteen is when I started to know that, Okay, we
Speaker 1: both have that in common. I think a lot of people,
Speaker 1: a lot of kids, no matter what generation, if we
Speaker 1: have respect, we get love. We love our parents, but
Speaker 1: there's a different way we love them. Sometimes we don't
Speaker 1: like them. We always love them. Sometimes we don't like them.
Speaker 1: We don't like rules, we don't like regulations. But I
Speaker 1: think brought up in the right environment, that hustle is
Speaker 1: just in you. And then they just kind of flick
Speaker 1: the lighter torch that they know. A parent knows when
Speaker 1: their kids got that bit of that. I can do
Speaker 1: this and trigger it. You know what I'm saying to you.
Speaker 1: Hear what I'm saying on this well, light the lighter
Speaker 1: because there was fuel to light. He saw that in you.
Speaker 1: Whether you saw that in you or not, I don't know.
Speaker 3: No, he definitely saw it. I remember vividly. It was
Speaker 3: an end of freshman year. I was just finished my
Speaker 3: freshman at you Miami, and I had worked to transfer
Speaker 3: into BC because that was his dream school for me.
Speaker 3: In that summer, I had an internship. It was only
Speaker 3: like two days a week, and I neverew. He came
Speaker 3: in on like a Tuesday, middle of the summer and
Speaker 3: I was just home with some friends and he lit
Speaker 3: me up. He said, you know you gotta be working
Speaker 3: five days a week, sixties week, seven days a week.
Speaker 3: He goes, you know you're gonna end up just like
Speaker 3: any other bust out.
Speaker 1: So he lit you up, and my son says, I
Speaker 1: tune him up. Is that the same thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, same thing.
Speaker 1: So as he's lighting you up at that moment, what
Speaker 1: are you saying in your head.
Speaker 3: I'm saying, well, I just worked so hard to transfer
Speaker 3: into BC, like, can I get a little bit of
Speaker 3: a break. But I didn't realize at the time was
Speaker 3: that he was trying to show me that the hard
Speaker 3: work never stops. You just got to keep going and
Speaker 3: keep going and keep going.
Speaker 1: And did you understand that at the time, or are
Speaker 1: you going what the Heck's going on. Yet I'm now
Speaker 1: in BC. That's still not making you happy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that day, I didn't understand it at all, But
Speaker 3: I always reflect back on that day and remember vividly,
Speaker 3: maybe because he was four hundred pounds and yawn at me,
Speaker 3: but I remember that very vividly to this day, and
Speaker 3: I think, you know, I ultimately thanked him for it,
Speaker 3: because you know, from that day on, the mindset changed
Speaker 3: in some ways.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. Would you generation used all the times mindset?
Speaker 1: I use? I don't know, like I never heard that word,
Speaker 1: so I went on social audio. I would say, where's
Speaker 1: your brain? Why aren't you using your brain?
Speaker 4: I mean you kind of said something similar to me
Speaker 4: with me, like it was my freshman year of college
Speaker 4: that came back and you were like, I'm going to
Speaker 4: take away your car unless you get a job. And
Speaker 4: you were like, you have to apply everywhere because if
Speaker 4: you don't have a job, I'm literally taking away your car.
Speaker 1: And I believed you, and now look at you guys,
Speaker 1: but you have to put Look as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 1: I know this. I was never afraid of my father,
Speaker 1: but he still the enough fear. I knew. He never
Speaker 1: hurt me he would never put his hands on me,
Speaker 1: but he just had to give me that one eyebrow
Speaker 1: and I went stage left. But that respect is gone now,
Speaker 1: especially kids your age I had thirty years old. Everybody's
Speaker 1: a kid. You know how we're talk in Boston, right,
Speaker 1: you could be eighty years old. My mother's talking about
Speaker 1: her friends. The only kid that we went to school with. Mom,
Speaker 1: I think the kid is growing up and maybe has
Speaker 1: died by now, like right, but this little kid. But
Speaker 1: I think that if you give those kids that little
Speaker 1: bit of fear, like your dad used to say to you,
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do?
Speaker 3: What to you if you don't, oh run me over,
Speaker 3: chot my fingers off? One or the other. Never happened,
Speaker 3: thank god.
Speaker 1: Never happened. Absolutely, But it was like the thought was
Speaker 1: putting your head, like, is gonna shot my fingers? Is
Speaker 1: he gonna run me over? We know that's not really
Speaker 1: gonna happen, but everybody hold that thought. We're going to break.
Speaker 1: I'm city stump on you listen to Toughest Nails on
Speaker 1: WBZ and we'll be right back and welcome back to
Speaker 1: Toughest Nails on WBZ, and we're here with who Wake
Speaker 1: Up get off your phone. There. I'm Samantha. Who are you?
Speaker 1: I'm Cindy are you? I don't know. I'm changing my name.
Speaker 1: I'm becoming Coela.
Speaker 2: You didn't actually like that name?
Speaker 1: We want yourself. I was born to Frankie and then
Speaker 1: they changed it to Cindy.
Speaker 3: How'd that happen?
Speaker 1: Because my mother looked at me and she goes, Bobby,
Speaker 1: this is one ugly baby, and we are not giving
Speaker 1: her a boy's name because, oh my god, she's got
Speaker 1: these long arms, long legs, jet black here and she
Speaker 1: is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Name. Give her
Speaker 1: a girl's name right away. My father's like, she's not ugly, No,
Speaker 1: she's ugly. They switched from the hospital. She's really not mine.
Speaker 1: That's what they thought. That's what she thought around. Okay,
Speaker 1: so the name Frankie would have fixed me fit me perfectly,
Speaker 1: I don't think so what would have I don't know.
Speaker 4: There's just something about when someone says Cindy stump Frankie
Speaker 4: Stumpo doesn't actually sound as intimidating.
Speaker 3: You say Cindy Stumpo.
Speaker 1: Nowadays it's Cindy's such a like it reminds you the
Speaker 1: Brady bunch with the girl that wore the pigtails. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Cindy's just Cindy.
Speaker 3: Maybe you put a different meaning meaning to the name Cindy.
Speaker 3: It's like a boss statusy Okay.
Speaker 1: So imagine if it was Franky Stumpo, then they would all,
Speaker 1: you know what. Back then, they would have assumed I
Speaker 1: was a guy because they all thought, see Stumpo was
Speaker 1: a guy. Right. Remember we didn't have Google back then.
Speaker 1: It was like and then they meet me and they'd
Speaker 1: go like, you don't look like a builder. Oh, what
Speaker 1: is the build to look like? I'm sorry, like, should
Speaker 1: I put that in the dictionary? What's the build to
Speaker 1: look like? But no, I think to see your generation
Speaker 1: and we're going to get into everything you do in
Speaker 1: a minute. But be this hard working at thirty years old.
Speaker 1: I hate to tell you, but you are now the
Speaker 1: not norm. This was norm for my generation. Gold and
Speaker 1: pushed that rock up the mountain. Have that burning desire
Speaker 1: to be successful. We wanted it. We wanted to get
Speaker 1: out of the house at eighteen and go live our
Speaker 1: lives like love your mom and dad, but we gotta
Speaker 1: go figure stuff out for ourselves. Right, Your generations like boomerangs, boom,
Speaker 1: your home, you come back, you leave, you come back.
Speaker 1: So you have the phenom now the norm.
Speaker 3: It's funny because a lot of the time I enjoy
Speaker 3: hearing the stories like my dad and his friends will tell.
Speaker 3: So like sitting in a room with my dad, Frankie
Speaker 3: D and a lot of those older business owners like
Speaker 3: those are some of my favorite moments because the learnings
Speaker 3: you get from you know, Frankie D was working at
Speaker 3: the age of like fourteen outside.
Speaker 1: He d He's gonna be the door man heaven. Okay,
Speaker 1: yeah he is, So he's got better stories than anybody, right,
Speaker 1: and then you put those two together in the room
Speaker 1: and you're just laughing because it's the greatest like hour
Speaker 1: you can spend.
Speaker 3: And then you hear stories from like guys like Anthony Rossi,
Speaker 3: who at my age was doing one hundred different things.
Speaker 3: So like it's just I learn a lot from my
Speaker 3: dad's friends that it's you know, the greatest blessing.
Speaker 1: In life is Yeah, but Ross, you gotta get this.
Speaker 1: Hey do you get the new ap Hey do you
Speaker 1: get the new Really? Hey? I got the new Betley? Hey,
Speaker 1: I got the new Roles Hey, Hey, hey, hey, I
Speaker 1: remember what.
Speaker 2: The first thing he said was I should have left you.
Speaker 3: Well half of the stuff, he mentions me, I don't
Speaker 3: even know what it is. I just go along like,
Speaker 3: well that sounds unbelievable, one of those. But no, he's
Speaker 3: he's I just.
Speaker 1: Want a four thous I bought a pocketbook twenty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars my wife. It's worth one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, Sonny calls and he says your name like
Speaker 4: it's a panic see me, Yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Can you just send me this?
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, not a good deal. He's like, I use
Speaker 1: your phone every time you call me.
Speaker 3: That's one thing about him. He answers every single time
Speaker 3: you call.
Speaker 4: Him, every time you call him with a two seconds
Speaker 4: fault pone draft. Phone drops and then and I'm like,
Speaker 4: where are you kids?
Speaker 2: Talk to you anymore?
Speaker 1: If you look at my phone, he's yelling at me. Yesday,
Speaker 1: I use your phone call every time? And do you
Speaker 1: stick me a voicemail? I need you to answer a
Speaker 1: question for me. Dude. I'm want a zoom meeting. I
Speaker 1: just get and I was on a face zoom meeting
Speaker 1: so I couldn't text. I'm like, you can't make this up,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it definitely grew up with a
Speaker 1: cast of characters, right, oh.
Speaker 3: Cast of characters. I say it all the time. I
Speaker 3: feel like I'm one of very few people that can
Speaker 3: sit in a room with business execs on a Tuesday
Speaker 3: night and have dinner with them, and then on a
Speaker 3: Wednesday night have dinner with some guys that have maybe
Speaker 3: spent more than half their life in jail, and have
Speaker 3: a good time with both both crowds and learn from
Speaker 3: both crowds.
Speaker 1: Is it amazing? So you viciously do live through other people.
Speaker 3: I take lessons from everybody.
Speaker 1: So that makes you a genius? You know?
Speaker 3: I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: No, it does. You know the same. Let me hopefully
Speaker 1: I get it right with my brain right now. Some
Speaker 1: people make the same mistake over and over again, expecting
Speaker 1: a different result. A smart person makes a mistake, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: makes a mistake, but then makes a new mistake, doesn't
Speaker 1: make the same mistake. And a genius just lives through
Speaker 1: everybody else's mistakes. And I live through everybody else's.
Speaker 3: I hope I can get to that level. I'm not
Speaker 3: there yet, but I hope so.
Speaker 1: But you will, you will, I don't think I was
Speaker 1: there at thirty either, but I got there. So now
Speaker 1: now that we understand Nico's background, and what are you doing?
Speaker 3: So right now we're opening up a bunch of sweathouse studios,
Speaker 3: which your contrast therapy studios. So in fred sawn a
Speaker 3: cold plum vitamin C private suite all over Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: Okay, what made you stop this? And then we'll go
Speaker 1: get into what that actually is because some people that
Speaker 1: are listening don't really understand this whole new hole plungings, sauna,
Speaker 1: red infra red infrared. I call it red like therapy
Speaker 1: for some reason my brain infrared. And then what's the
Speaker 1: vitamin sea shower we do?
Speaker 3: So the vitamin C shower is really good. We'll get
Speaker 3: into this. But when you sweat, your pores open up.
Speaker 3: So when you go into the vitamin sea shower, it
Speaker 3: adds that low grade vitamin C into the water, which
Speaker 3: kills all the bacteria in limescale on the pipes and
Speaker 3: then basically freshens the water so that you get very
Speaker 3: very clean water. And it adds a little bit of
Speaker 3: vitamin C back into your skin.
Speaker 1: So it's more for the system, less for the body.
Speaker 3: It's fifty to fifty. It kills all the limestone bacteria,
Speaker 3: which is great, but it also adds a little bit
Speaker 3: of low grade vitamin C into your skin as well.
Speaker 1: And how many times can I if I want to
Speaker 1: go into the sun like what I heard when I
Speaker 1: was there, after going the sauna, go in the coal plunge,
Speaker 1: back on the sauna, go in the cold plunge. Is
Speaker 1: that true?
Speaker 3: You can do. The beautiful thing about sweatoes is you're
Speaker 3: in your own sweet for sixty minutes by yourself, and
Speaker 3: you can go any which way you want. So most
Speaker 3: people will do twenty minutes in the sauna, a five
Speaker 3: minute vitamin C shower, a five minute cold plunge, and
Speaker 3: then repeat that one more time so they fulfill the hour.
Speaker 3: Some groups of people will do a forty five minute
Speaker 3: sauna followed by a five minute shower, followed by a
Speaker 3: five minute plunge, followed by five minutes to get ready.
Speaker 3: So the whole thing is you want to go from
Speaker 3: hot to cold to cold to hot, because that's what's
Speaker 3: going to cause it therm, a regulatory reaction in your body.
Speaker 1: Explain that, all right.
Speaker 3: So when your body goes from hot to cold to
Speaker 3: cold to hot, your body is activating a lot of
Speaker 3: things that you don't typically activate. So what that activation
Speaker 3: does is it kills a lot of the inflammation around
Speaker 3: your muscles and bones and allows you to prevent things
Speaker 3: like sicknesses. It improves your mental health, improves brain clarity.
Speaker 3: But more than anything, just makes you feel better. Like
Speaker 3: the simplest way I explain this to people such as
Speaker 3: my dad's friends is coming to sweat hoose just makes
Speaker 3: you feel better both internally and external. You just feel amazing.
Speaker 1: Okay. So some people that can't use that. So for me,
Speaker 1: when I'm home and I'm taking a steam, I'm taking
Speaker 1: a on in my own house. At some point I
Speaker 1: run low blood pressure, right, so I get to I
Speaker 1: feel lightheaded yep, and I gotta like crawl out of
Speaker 1: the steam, Like sometimes I literally have crawled out of
Speaker 1: my own steam, right, Ray help me, Like I think
Speaker 1: I'm fainting. So if you have low blood pressure, does
Speaker 1: that because my dog said, Okay, you run low blood pressure, Cindy.
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna take a steam, just take an
Speaker 1: don't go the full time, yep, make it shorter.
Speaker 3: What I would say is I think you'd do much
Speaker 3: better in our infrared saunas because they heat you from
Speaker 3: the inside out, so it's a much more heat. It's
Speaker 3: a heat that you can withstand a lot longer. So
Speaker 3: that's why you can sit in there for forty five minutes.
Speaker 3: You weren't sit in a traditional steam or a traditional
Speaker 3: sauna for that long. But you can sit in an
Speaker 3: infrared sauna, maybe do thirty minutes and see how you feel,
Speaker 3: and then go cool off with a cool shower and
Speaker 3: then go in the cold plunge. And I don't think
Speaker 3: your low blood pressure would ever even come into the mix.
Speaker 1: Is this the same infrared that they're using on people's
Speaker 1: faces that put them on their faces and they he
Speaker 1: had to make the here grown this skin.
Speaker 3: So that's red light therapy, So it is it is
Speaker 3: different in FRET and red light therapy are a little
Speaker 3: bit different. There's some of the same dynamics behind it,
Speaker 3: but they are two different things.
Speaker 1: And the track record you went off of this before
Speaker 1: you opened up your first one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I learned all the science. Funny enough, I got
Speaker 3: into sweat House through a former job that I had
Speaker 3: where I met the founder of Sweathouse and I told
Speaker 3: him I want to be a first franchise. I really
Speaker 3: believe in this concept. But the reason I fell in
Speaker 3: love with it was I was training for a charity
Speaker 3: boxing match called Haymakers for Hope, so I use sweathouse
Speaker 3: as part of my training regimen right before the fight,
Speaker 3: and I was like, this, this is business is a
Speaker 3: no brainer. From a trend standpoint, from an economic standpoint,
Speaker 3: this is this is the future. And this was about
Speaker 3: two and a half years ago.
Speaker 1: Now, so you you use this how many times a week? Personally?
Speaker 3: Personally twice? I'd like to be using it a lot more.
Speaker 1: Busy working, too busy working.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's no excuse.
Speaker 1: Okay, but wait, yeah, it is an excuse. It's called reality. Right. Unfortunately, married,
Speaker 1: you have a wife, you have a business, and then
Speaker 1: there's no time for you. Welcome to the real world, right,
Speaker 1: Welcome to becoming an adult. When you don't do it,
Speaker 1: you feel like you're going through withdrawal like you need it.
Speaker 3: Oh one hundred percent, you wake up foggy, you feel
Speaker 3: like crap, and you just don't have that same pop
Speaker 3: because when you go into the cold plunge, you get
Speaker 3: that dopamine hit, and that dopamine hit I mean, we
Speaker 3: say it's sweat house. We literally sell dopamine. If you
Speaker 3: come into sweat House, we are selling you the best
Speaker 3: form of dopamine you can get.
Speaker 1: Okay, don't pay attention to him. He's just a producer.
Speaker 1: He comes in Herey flashes the clock in front of me,
Speaker 1: and that means I got to go to break. And
Speaker 1: I told him, don't come into the last twenty seconds. Now,
Speaker 1: I got five seconds to get out to break. And
Speaker 1: you listen to Cidey Stumpo on Toughest Nails on WBZ.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back and welcome back to Toughest Nails
Speaker 1: City Stumpo on WBZ. And I'm here. I'm just going
Speaker 1: to introduce everybody less see, I mean Nikky Nico. So
Speaker 1: let me ask this question, Nico, why is it I
Speaker 1: need something for you? I need you to do this
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I tried this in my own house, right, okay, because
Speaker 1: I went and checked at your location, I said, okay,
Speaker 1: I couldn't get in. Sammy went in, chat, I went in,
Speaker 1: no problem. The minute I put my feet in, I
Speaker 1: can't get past my feet. So I went home. I
Speaker 1: took my own ultra, my own tub that has ear
Speaker 1: bubbles and I put the ear bubbles on and I
Speaker 1: tried it again. So I said to Ray, get me
Speaker 1: plastic bags. I'm going to wrap my feet in plastic
Speaker 1: bags because if I get past the feet pot, you're
Speaker 1: I'm good. So why don't they make these booties that
Speaker 1: we can put on our feet or if I could
Speaker 1: just slide in and hit my butt first, it's the
Speaker 1: feet problem.
Speaker 2: The funny thing is I'm the opposite once my feet
Speaker 2: and I'm fine.
Speaker 3: So they do sell toe caps. So is that your
Speaker 3: toes are your whole feet? All right? So people have
Speaker 3: done this. You can wear a certain type of sock
Speaker 3: into the tub and it basically acts as a placebo
Speaker 3: to protect your foot.
Speaker 1: So I'm not the one one has the problem the
Speaker 1: feet part.
Speaker 3: No, A lot of people wear the toe caps because
Speaker 3: it's their toes up bother of them the most. So
Speaker 3: it literally looks like little like toe caps. So I
Speaker 3: can get you a pair of those, or I can
Speaker 3: get you a pair of these special socks, so next
Speaker 3: time you come in you'll have no issue.
Speaker 1: So I'm so I'm not cuckle crazy something people the
Speaker 1: feet thing, I mean, maybe, but not about that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm cuckoo crazy. All you people maybe cuckle crazy. In
Speaker 1: thirty sevn years, the construction has done a number to me.
Speaker 1: But go ahead.
Speaker 3: So some people who come in and actually lower themselves
Speaker 3: all the way in and keep their feet out of
Speaker 3: the plunge.
Speaker 1: I try, I could slide down. Come on, fuddy, I'm
Speaker 1: not thirty years old anymore, right, I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker 1: Like two, I'm like this, I'm sliding in. I got
Speaker 1: my feet up. I'm like, this ain't working. It's actually funny,
Speaker 1: but I figured this out. If I get my feet
Speaker 1: I gotta find something because when I put the plastic
Speaker 1: bags on my feet, you were good. I was good
Speaker 1: to go okay, And I'm sitting like this in my
Speaker 1: own tub and rais dump and ice in it.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: We got it to the coldest that could get it,
Speaker 1: nothing as cold as your as obviously, And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I got this all right, Samue last what twenty second?
Speaker 1: How long did you last? And he goes probably maybe
Speaker 1: maybe not even that.
Speaker 3: We're gonna build that up though. It's all mental. It
Speaker 3: literally is all mental. And you making that decision, I'm
Speaker 3: going to stay in this tub. Also activate stuff in
Speaker 3: your brain to help you think a lot clear. It
Speaker 3: helps with clarity for like the rest of.
Speaker 1: This, it has to and it has to help with
Speaker 1: inflammation reduces everything. I don't care what anybody says. Ninety
Speaker 1: percent of why we feel like crap is inflammation. Okay,
Speaker 1: when you need start to hurt and this starts to hurt,
Speaker 1: you like start to feel it's inflammation.
Speaker 4: But there's a huge statistic going around that the more
Speaker 4: you infrared, the more you cold plunge, the more it
Speaker 4: increases years of your life. It reduces heart attacks, reduces
Speaker 4: all these things that everyone's afraid of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't open up Instagram nowadays without seeing something
Speaker 3: about saunas where whether it's Gary Huberman. I mean, they're
Speaker 3: all talking about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah I'm lucky. I get the Tenex Gary Breckham Direct one.
Speaker 3: Yeah you got the direct phone.
Speaker 1: I got the direct one. But you know what, I
Speaker 1: don't listen. That's my problem, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 1: I don't listen why though, Because if something doesn't make
Speaker 1: sense to me and I can't wrap my arms around it,
Speaker 1: doesn't like change. No, it's not about that. I think
Speaker 1: certain things are for gazy, Like I promise it's a
Speaker 1: real no This is not for gazy.
Speaker 3: This I know because this is real.
Speaker 1: This is real, and I've done my homework on this right,
Speaker 1: so I'm not new at this game. And that's why
Speaker 1: I love getting behind you on this one. Because inflammation
Speaker 1: is the killer and then brain fog is the second.
Speaker 1: Especially for women in menopause. Okay, go do this. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you. It works, It really works. And for men,
Speaker 1: you just need it.
Speaker 3: Men need it sometimes, I would say even more than women,
Speaker 3: because well because I think women do a better job
Speaker 3: of balancing themselves in a way, not just one, whereas
Speaker 3: men sometimes like they don't take time to do a
Speaker 3: self care day, they don't take time to you know,
Speaker 3: do something out of the normal. So you know, we
Speaker 3: definitely are here for both men and women. But there's
Speaker 3: different types of benefits. I think every person should be
Speaker 3: coming to sweat House. But I've convinced people off the
Speaker 3: street that are maybe working a construction job and have
Speaker 3: never taken a mental health day ever for themselves to
Speaker 3: come into sweathouse. And now there are most loyal custom
Speaker 3: most loyal clients.
Speaker 1: My mental health day, we came in at seven o'clock
Speaker 1: at night. That's my mental health.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to start a little bit later.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but whilst he's like, every time we talked
Speaker 1: to him, I'm at sweathouse.
Speaker 4: Sweathouse, he like, he's the only person has service there
Speaker 4: because none.
Speaker 1: Of us do. Yeah, I don't know, he's good service.
Speaker 1: I'm at sweat house. I'm like, okay, call me when
Speaker 1: you get done, and I could talk to you. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk to you while you're sitting in
Speaker 1: this He.
Speaker 3: Did three minutes.
Speaker 2: That way, if someone were to call you and distract you,
Speaker 2: you can stay in there longer.
Speaker 1: Well, that's why I know they have TVs in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we get a lot of couples that come in.
Speaker 3: A lot of couples are replacing the typical date night
Speaker 3: at Mastro's with a date night at sweathouse.
Speaker 1: That's better, it's healthier. Yeah, And then you're not drinking
Speaker 1: and you're not eating crazy food you know.
Speaker 3: That feel like unbelievable, And you're doing something that at
Speaker 3: first it's out of the norm, and then you're building
Speaker 3: it into your rotation. Now it's becoming a habit. And
Speaker 3: as soon as you make it a habit, you're gonna
Speaker 3: start feeling healthier every single day.
Speaker 1: We get data in there.
Speaker 3: Yes, he's been in a few times. He doesn't come
Speaker 3: as much as I would like him to go in.
Speaker 3: He likes the cold plunge, but it's tough to get
Speaker 3: him to sit anywhere for an hour.
Speaker 1: That would be me too, Yeah, because our brains are
Speaker 1: moving faster than our body is twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1: That's just how we It's just that's just how we are.
Speaker 4: It like instantly makes me sleep better, like into a
Speaker 4: deeper rim. And you're all into yoga and all that
Speaker 4: you're you're but I like to beat view myself time.
Speaker 1: I did download yoga as that it's called what's that? Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm skinning everything? Do you know? Deodrant is zero to
Speaker 1: one hundred means it's the worst.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the spray deodorant. We even have it in
Speaker 3: the studio and we're taking it out. But sprayed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I won't say the name, but that's the Geordan
Speaker 1: I use.
Speaker 2: I've never used spray.
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't matter. So now I'm scanning everything in
Speaker 1: my house but my cocon and everything with three six
Speaker 1: five from Whole Foods. Skins at one hundred one hundred,
Speaker 1: you know, my water one hundred one hundred because it's
Speaker 1: out of a glass bottle. Okay, I'm Lily UK and everything.
Speaker 2: Can you skin a person?
Speaker 3: See how you're doing that. That's the shift I think
Speaker 3: we're seeing now and we'll probably continue to see for
Speaker 3: next week.
Speaker 1: See that's great for your generation. My generation is the
Speaker 1: boat on that one. Okay about what you crew and everything.
Speaker 3: Just taking on the more like a healthier lifestyle, checking
Speaker 3: everything that's going into or on our bodies. I think
Speaker 3: our generation, where we may lack in the work ethic,
Speaker 3: we're making up with in the we want to take
Speaker 3: care of ourselves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get back in the work ethic, okay, because
Speaker 1: we need work is healthy.
Speaker 4: I feel like that pendulum swings may the people that
Speaker 4: like overly take care of themselves and the people that
Speaker 4: don't it all in our generation.
Speaker 1: I know one thing, I'm running from the inside out.
Speaker 4: So I either see everybody that's like overly wants to
Speaker 4: be doing fitness or the total opposite, And I'm like, no,
Speaker 4: that like gives me the ick.
Speaker 2: If we don't want to take care of go to
Speaker 2: the gym, Like why don't go to the gym?
Speaker 1: I did that for thirty years right, Like twenty five
Speaker 1: years hardcore and then I just got and then I
Speaker 1: went on TV. Started when I went to GTV was
Speaker 1: my fall down on working out, right, and I've never
Speaker 1: really got back into it on a consistent space, right,
Speaker 1: So I just go like this as I'm old, now
Speaker 1: I don't care, right. But then there's a whole gym
Speaker 1: in my house, right, so it makes me go down
Speaker 1: there and use it more. But to get back on
Speaker 1: treadmills and the ways to go on steermasters and step aerobics,
Speaker 1: and I just don't want to do that anymore, Like
Speaker 1: I don't. It really doesn't that maybe the year I'll
Speaker 1: change my mind.
Speaker 3: And that's what so cool about a lot of the
Speaker 3: fitness places you go to, like the Handlebar hot Box,
Speaker 3: because they provide a very different type of workoud and
Speaker 3: you can get in a home gym or big box gym,
Speaker 3: and then you add in Sweatthouse to it, and now
Speaker 3: you can go Monday through Friday, even on the weekends
Speaker 3: do your Handlebar hot Box and sweat House, and after
Speaker 3: you do it for a few weeks, you feel like
Speaker 3: a different pressure.
Speaker 4: That's as your hours are great, so someone that works
Speaker 4: like a full day, they still can come late at
Speaker 4: night and still happen.
Speaker 2: They can't.
Speaker 1: They can't say, Okay, what are your locations?
Speaker 3: All right? So right now, as of October twenty twenty four,
Speaker 3: we have Assembly Row, Burlington and Chestnut Hill open.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why we're in there now because he's in
Speaker 1: Chestna Hill.
Speaker 3: Yes, right down the street. I drive by your office
Speaker 3: every single day.
Speaker 1: You do just pick her up?
Speaker 3: No I should. I always think about swinging in right
Speaker 3: on the corner of it. Frozen coffee.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just need somebody with me when I'm in there.
Speaker 3: You got three locations, three studios open now hopefully South
Speaker 3: Boston opens this Friday. We're we're manifesting it.
Speaker 1: Does that mean it's on its way to being open?
Speaker 1: So you people with these words.
Speaker 4: Like to me, he's doing everything he can to open it,
Speaker 4: and he keeps getting boothd It's done.
Speaker 3: We're just waiting for the City of Boston.
Speaker 1: Isn't really great how the inspectual service works in the
Speaker 1: building department.
Speaker 3: The construction I've I've really struggled with, Yeah, welcome to
Speaker 3: my room. Yes. But now having friends like you and Anthony,
Speaker 3: I can ask you guys like, hey, what do you
Speaker 3: think of this situation. But yeah, construction has been a
Speaker 3: little bit of challenge. And then after South Boston, at
Speaker 3: the end of this month, we'll be opening up Ingham
Speaker 3: as well, down on the shipyard.
Speaker 1: So you just go you're going deep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just you know all out.
Speaker 1: Anybody going this deep would never think that this is
Speaker 1: a trend. You think this is to stay.
Speaker 3: I think I think a lot of fitness trends and
Speaker 3: wellness trends have a life of ten years. That's kind
Speaker 3: of my philosophy. I think we're not even in the
Speaker 3: real beginning of year one right now. I think we're
Speaker 3: in maybe the top of the first inning when it
Speaker 3: comes to sweat House.
Speaker 1: So you just worked at one of these places and
Speaker 1: decided to ask the guy, Kim, I think I don't know.
Speaker 3: So what was your first job? By the way, So
Speaker 3: my first job after BC was I was in investment
Speaker 3: banking at Bank of America.
Speaker 1: Merrilyinch all right, everybody, hold that thought, you got it,
Speaker 1: hold it, hold it, you got it. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: Cindy Stupbo Toughest Nails and WBZ would be right back,
Speaker 1: come back to Tafest Nails on WBZ, And I'm here
Speaker 1: with Nico. I'm here with Sammy as by Crumble. Okay,
Speaker 1: but let me explain something that is such an Italian
Speaker 1: thing to do. Never go into anybody's home, MG handed.
Speaker 3: You can't do it, Like you can't show up somewhere
Speaker 3: empty handed.
Speaker 1: I've never done that, never mind.
Speaker 3: And I was stressed out because I was coming from
Speaker 3: like the chestnutill area here and I was like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, where can I start. I can't stop in
Speaker 3: modern pastry. That's not on the way it sounds like.
Speaker 3: So I looked up. I was like, crumble, way here,
Speaker 3: where to go?
Speaker 1: You know? We all went back to like Revera for
Speaker 1: our pastry, Like we went back to the North End
Speaker 1: for our pastry, like we don't buy pastry around here.
Speaker 3: No, I couldn't stop anywhere else.
Speaker 1: So we literally, Ray and I will drive to Revia
Speaker 1: to Broadway Limberto's.
Speaker 3: It's the best, the best.
Speaker 4: No, the best is that Rossi and Ray had a
Speaker 4: Canoli off to see who was better. Rossi was wrong
Speaker 4: and he picked yes.
Speaker 1: So Rossie got his down the North. Then we went
Speaker 1: to Limberto's and he was like, I can tell the difference,
Speaker 1: and he picked them three times. Rossie lost that one
Speaker 1: I mean, is amazing. It is, it is. I love
Speaker 1: them in there. But anyways, what we'll go back. We're
Speaker 1: going to jump a little bit here because we have
Speaker 1: another segment here and I want to get everything in.
Speaker 1: So how do you know, like Samon when we just
Speaker 1: went out to break, says said, she knows when I'm
Speaker 1: in a good mood or bad so with Dad, and
Speaker 1: I know that you hold him and that's your idol, right,
Speaker 1: And how do you know when the conversation's starting off
Speaker 1: good or bad?
Speaker 3: So if I get a text from him before nine am,
Speaker 3: that's just says the two words high pal. I know
Speaker 3: something somewhere I either screwed up or something's about to
Speaker 3: pop off, and you know it's going to be a
Speaker 3: bad day. So that's how I know hyal high pal.
Speaker 3: Those two words. You get that before nine am?
Speaker 1: Just I know I mess something And what's a good
Speaker 1: How's a good text?
Speaker 3: Not he'll call me or I'll call him. I mean
Speaker 3: I call him seven hundred times a day. I call
Speaker 3: my mom about four hundred because obviously I hold my
Speaker 3: mom in a very high standard as well. But yeah,
Speaker 3: my dad, if I get that high pal text, it's
Speaker 3: watch out. So that's the one that you go, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: it happened one time I was on when my last job.
Speaker 3: I was on the phone on a zoom with the uh,
Speaker 3: the CEO, and I was his chief of staff at
Speaker 3: the time. So we're having our weekly you know, morning
Speaker 3: meeting and uh, I get a text from my dad.
Speaker 3: Also it was high pal. So my boss sees me
Speaker 3: on zoom. My face goes white because now I'm trying
Speaker 3: to think, all right, where did I screw up? I
Speaker 3: screwed up somewhere in the past few days where I
Speaker 3: just got a high pal text, Like you start going
Speaker 3: through the bank of memories. So I'm like, where have
Speaker 3: I been?
Speaker 1: What did I do?
Speaker 3: Ended up being nothing? But that's that's the text, Okay.
Speaker 1: So if we don't get a high pal, let me
Speaker 1: just get what.
Speaker 3: No, call me be like what's up? What's up today?
Speaker 3: He likes it. What's up today? He likes knowing, like
Speaker 3: what is my plan today? Because uh, you know, he
Speaker 3: knows I went from having a very structured job.
Speaker 1: To now just do what was your structured job?
Speaker 3: So when I graduated BC, I was in investment banking
Speaker 3: at Banking American in New York. I did that for
Speaker 3: two and a half years, oh thank you. And then
Speaker 3: I went into private equity with the local firm here
Speaker 3: in Boston. And then after that I joined one of
Speaker 3: their portfolio companies as the chief of staff to the CEO.
Speaker 3: So he that CEO, Ken Murphy, one of my best friends,
Speaker 3: taught me how a business should be run and all.
Speaker 3: In the meanwhile, I was still working with my dad
Speaker 3: to help in the background on the restaurants. And then
Speaker 3: in September of twenty twenty two, I made the decision,
Speaker 3: you know, when I want to start my own thing.
Speaker 3: And that's how Sweathouse came about.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this sweat House name is owned by somebody else.
Speaker 1: You've now kind of made a deal together with the students.
Speaker 3: So it's it's a franchise. So I was the first franchisee.
Speaker 3: So yeah, So they owned thirteen corporate studios at the
Speaker 3: time I bought in. So I acquired the Assembly Row
Speaker 3: studio from corporate in January twenty twenty three, and also
Speaker 3: the rights to open up across Massachusetts New Hampshire.
Speaker 1: But why did you start your own your own name?
Speaker 1: What was the reason to buy into the franchise?
Speaker 3: So I really, I really liked the franchise, or I
Speaker 3: had a good bond with them where it was so
Speaker 3: good that they actually added me to the board of
Speaker 3: the company as well. Okay, so uh, and I also
Speaker 3: believe in the Sweathouse brand. I think they have a
Speaker 3: great team. I think they have the right marketing in
Speaker 3: place now.
Speaker 1: And I think you know you felt it was it
Speaker 1: was laying out that mind. Buy into a franchise. Yes,
Speaker 1: because because you could have opened up your own name,
Speaker 1: I could have.
Speaker 3: Opened up Nico's Sweathouse Nico Sweatshop. Probably wouldn't done well
Speaker 3: with that name sweatshop, but yes, go ahead. Yeah. So
Speaker 3: I also believed that if if you're one of the
Speaker 3: first franchises in a system, right and you have forty
Speaker 3: other franchises that are going to open up studios across
Speaker 3: the country, if you get yours open and you ride
Speaker 3: the wave, you should be able to eventually one day
Speaker 3: have a really profitable, successful business. You can one day exit.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, if they sell the ears, Let's say some
Speaker 1: company comes along, a VC guy comes along, whatever they
Speaker 1: want to buy out. Are you part of that? Would
Speaker 1: you be? Or the French franchise owners don't get to
Speaker 1: be part of that.
Speaker 3: No, my studios and my studios, I pay my royalties.
Speaker 3: I paid them for my license. But if they decide
Speaker 3: to sell the company, all that changes is who I'm
Speaker 3: writing the royalty check to my studios, stay in my studios.
Speaker 3: Got it so, and hopefully, hopefully that happens one day
Speaker 3: for them, because that'd be a great exit for the
Speaker 3: original founder as well as the original investors who were
Speaker 3: my former bosses at the private equity firm.
Speaker 1: But they can't sell franchises too close to what's the mile.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: So I when I came into that was my biggest thing.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to compete with anybody. I didn't want
Speaker 3: other people opening up in different territories that were close
Speaker 3: to me. So I have Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Speaker 3: and you know, I'm looking at New York City, no shirt.
Speaker 3: You know, there's no certainty that will sign on the
Speaker 3: dotted line. But I believe this concept would do really
Speaker 3: well there as well. Probably construction it will be challenging
Speaker 3: in New York City.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh god, please, yeah, don't even get me going
Speaker 1: about that. No, no, no, And we were union for
Speaker 1: a long time, right, Yeah, I had my concrete being
Speaker 1: turned around on me. Don't even ask like that was
Speaker 1: all craziness. Okay, So what was the question we were
Speaker 1: talking about before? Sammy? By the way, Yes, what's that?
Speaker 1: How do I text you that you know you got
Speaker 1: trouble coming?
Speaker 4: You don't ask a question, it's already like you've already
Speaker 4: assumed something. And it depends on the time of day.
Speaker 4: So none of her guys have understood this that if
Speaker 4: she needs they need something from her where they've screwed up.
Speaker 4: You can't ask her that before five o'clock. Anything post
Speaker 4: five pm, it's a different response. So lately they all
Speaker 4: come to me to go to you, so because they
Speaker 4: think I can take the heat. Like the other day,
Speaker 4: your lawyer literally said, I'm afraid of Cindy, so I
Speaker 4: need to make sure I'm there or we need to
Speaker 4: make the plan around me.
Speaker 3: So but that's cool, right, like you guys working to here,
Speaker 3: that's so cool.
Speaker 1: It's there is nothing to be afraid of me. If
Speaker 1: I hear that like ten times a day, I am
Speaker 1: the nicest person in the world.
Speaker 2: Now I agree, you do me, jerdy, No, it's how
Speaker 2: they approach it is that's the problem.
Speaker 1: So they approached me the wrong way and then they
Speaker 1: get the other Cindy.
Speaker 3: Which they should. They deserve that.
Speaker 4: But the difference is if they just said, first thing, hey,
Speaker 4: I screwed up, then the dancer response is different than
Speaker 4: the other way. So at the beginning I used to
Speaker 4: always say, instead of asking the stupid question, I used
Speaker 4: to say, this may be a stupid question. And her
Speaker 4: level of like anxiety would be like, Okay, fine, you
Speaker 4: can ask me the question now, or just me just
Speaker 4: saying something, say.
Speaker 1: That there's no such thing as a stupid question, so
Speaker 1: ask me the question. But then if she's asked me
Speaker 1: a stupid question, I'd say, who'd you come up with
Speaker 1: a stupid question?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: My dad's the same exact way, same exact way.
Speaker 1: This is just how we are. This is don't if
Speaker 1: you say to me, Mom, this might sound stupid, can
Speaker 1: answer this question. The first thing. My reaction is going
Speaker 1: to be, there's no such thing as a stupid.
Speaker 3: Question until you get asked the stupid question.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have but you're gonna keep you cool
Speaker 1: on the stupid question because they've already warned you. Right,
Speaker 1: but when you ask me the stupid question, and I
Speaker 1: don't see it coming then they go, what do you
Speaker 1: your brain? Like, we don't say did you lose your mindset? Okay?
Speaker 1: I generation right.
Speaker 4: So but it's funny because if she's answer the phone,
Speaker 4: they all come to me anyway. So I'm just like
Speaker 4: this telephone path and I'm like you, none of you
Speaker 4: know how to do this by now.
Speaker 3: You're the first wall defense. That's what I call it,
Speaker 3: your first wall defense.
Speaker 1: So it's a big thing with me. Is called accountability.
Speaker 1: Just hold yourself accountable. You screwed up, said, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: we gotta screw up on the field. This is what
Speaker 1: I did wrong. I'm on my way, buddy, bea when
Speaker 1: you talk your way out and you keep doing that,
Speaker 1: like you keep making all these excuses why you did
Speaker 1: what you did and oh then you play victim. Right,
Speaker 1: that's a big one for me. Don't start those cury
Speaker 1: eyes now, Like, no, no, you start this now, don't you.
Speaker 1: You don't have the right to cry. Okay, So everybody's
Speaker 1: afraid of me. That's going on my headstone. I tell
Speaker 1: his nails gone, Yeah, every's afraid of me.
Speaker 4: But as a kid, you told me if I told
Speaker 4: the truth, even if it was really bad, I wouldn't
Speaker 4: get in trouble.
Speaker 2: So I just applied that to everything else.
Speaker 1: You didn't get punished. And if you told the truth,
Speaker 1: why am I going to punish you? There's nothing punish you.
Speaker 1: But my father did that to me. I said, so
Speaker 1: you tell me if I go murder somebody like, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna punish me.
Speaker 3: That's how you build trust.
Speaker 1: And that's it.
Speaker 3: That's why you guys have such a close relationship. That's
Speaker 3: why I have a close relationship with my parents.
Speaker 1: Don't lie, no matter how big the problem is, no
Speaker 1: matter how bad it is, just come to us with
Speaker 1: the truth.
Speaker 2: Even when I was throwing parties in Dad's house.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, why not?
Speaker 1: It cleans up too good and puts the boots in
Speaker 1: the wrong place.
Speaker 3: Yes, at least you tried. At least you tried.
Speaker 1: And okay, so let's go back to sweat house here.
Speaker 1: So we were waiting for the Boston store to open up.
Speaker 2: We're manifesting this for him.
Speaker 1: So right now, Nico, how has businessmen on all the
Speaker 1: locations they do in the numbers that you need them
