Speaker 2: I can't really something snap? Okay, that's good. And then
Speaker 2: we have another name that ends na vowel here in
Speaker 2: the first thoughts of leek all I guess names in
Speaker 2: the vowels that we and we're here with whom.
Speaker 3: My name is Nico Verano. I'm very gratefully you guys
Speaker 3: had me on.
Speaker 2: Today, Okay? And who is Niko.
Speaker 3: Ran nco Rano? First off, is the son of Nick
Speaker 3: and Michelle Van That's what I always start off with.
Speaker 2: Let me hold you down. Why do you always say
Speaker 2: that Nick 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 make my.
Speaker 2: Father proud, Make my father proud.
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 2: I must be the mom and dad in this family
Speaker 2: takes a little more. Okay, I just say I'm your daughter.
Speaker 2: I don't really mention dad. Okay. So, but it's a
Speaker 2: boy that wants to make his father proud, right, that's it.
Speaker 2: Tell my listeners why that is and then we'll get
Speaker 2: 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 great 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 a billion dollar companies, and I've
Speaker 3: never been more impressed by them than I have been
Speaker 3: by my dad.
Speaker 2: So here's your hero.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: So is there anything that makes you ever feel insecure
Speaker 2: 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 2: Yes, you don't have that problem. You know, issues go
Speaker 2: ahead and you must like your mom.
Speaker 3: But uh 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 we'll be happy.
Speaker 2: Is it amazing? How old? You know?
Speaker 3: Thirty? Just turn thirty?
Speaker 2: Just ten thirty? And when did you get in your
Speaker 2: 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 2: At that young of age, Huh, you knew that you
Speaker 2: 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 give.
Speaker 2: They did that to me too, Yeah, and then from
Speaker 2: there from West peb to Newton, Like would you send
Speaker 2: me there for stop giving these culture sharks? You people
Speaker 2: like what's want? My parents?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But they you know, they did that, and uh then
Speaker 3: he gave me the opportunity to go to college. So
Speaker 3: I was the first one in my family to go
Speaker 3: to college. So you know, what's the other option other
Speaker 3: than make them proud?
Speaker 2: Is the first generation Chian?
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 4: I like that.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, dad was born. You know. Dad was an oops.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he was born here.
Speaker 3: Yes, who isn't an oops though nowadays?
Speaker 4: Now I was planned.
Speaker 2: She was definitely planned. At the moment to the moment,
Speaker 2: I was an oops. I was a big oops oops
Speaker 2: chowers oops too, oops happens. Oops, so that happens, Okay,
Speaker 2: oops are good things to them. They'd all 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 She's awesome.
Speaker 2: I hear she's selling real estate.
Speaker 3: She is selling real estate out there, trying to She
Speaker 3: has one really big listening right now that she's very
Speaker 3: excited about.
Speaker 2: So good for her.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So there's two of you, two of us.
Speaker 3: That's it. Age gap two and a half.
Speaker 2: Years how much closer. Yeah, so nephews and you both wanted.
Speaker 2: Does she have the same thing of making dad proud
Speaker 2: like you or more you?
Speaker 3: I think I have it more. She'd probably get mad
Speaker 3: that I I think she has it too, But she
Speaker 3: sees the world the same way that they gave us
Speaker 3: an opportunity, so now we had to capitalize on that.
Speaker 2: Do you think there's a difference between first generation kids,
Speaker 2: whether the Italian with South America whatever, of a different
Speaker 2: upbringing than me being a second or third generation American.
Speaker 3: Here, I don't think so. I think if if you
Speaker 3: have parents that instill certain qualities in you, you're going
Speaker 3: to want 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 a different way. So you're
Speaker 3: going to work to provide a much different upbringing than
Speaker 3: you had.
Speaker 2: So I'll tell you why you will be success successful.
Speaker 2: It's on my opinion, and you already on that road,
Speaker 2: is because, like you, I want to make my dad
Speaker 2: proud to right, that was the goal I want him
Speaker 2: to say, now, that's my daughter. The biggest compliment you
Speaker 2: can get on thousand percent. I knew that by probably eighteen.
Speaker 2: Seventeen eighteen is when I started to know that, Okay,
Speaker 2: we both have that in common. I think a lot
Speaker 2: of people, a lot of kids, no matter what generation,
Speaker 2: if we have respect, we get love. We love our parents,
Speaker 2: but there's a different way we love them. Sometimes we
Speaker 2: don't like them. We always love them. Sometimes you don't
Speaker 2: like them. We don't like rules, we don't like regulations.
Speaker 2: But I think brought up in the right environment, that
Speaker 2: hustle is just in you. And then they just kind
Speaker 2: of flick the lighter. That's a torch that they know.
Speaker 2: A parent knows when their kids got that bit of that.
Speaker 2: I can do this and trigger you know what I'm
Speaker 2: saying to you know what I'm saying on this, well,
Speaker 2: like the big lighter, because there was fuel to light.
Speaker 2: He saw that in you. Whether you saw that in
Speaker 2: 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 Miami, and I had worked to transfer into
Speaker 3: BC because that was his dream school for me. In
Speaker 3: that summer, I had an internship. It was only like
Speaker 3: two days week, and I never forget. He came in
Speaker 3: on like a Tuesday, middle of the summer and I
Speaker 3: was just home with some friends and he lit me up.
Speaker 3: He said, you know you got to be working five
Speaker 3: days a week, sixties week, seven days a week. He goes,
Speaker 3: you know, you're gonna end up just like any other
Speaker 3: bust out.
Speaker 2: So he lit you up, and my son says, I
Speaker 2: tune him up. Is that the same thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, same thing.
Speaker 2: So as he's lighting you up at that moment, what
Speaker 2: are you saying in your head.
Speaker 3: I'm saying, well, I just worked so hard to transfer
Speaker 3: to 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 2: And did you understand that at the time, or are
Speaker 2: you going, what the heck's going on? Yeah, I'm now
Speaker 2: 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 2: Yeah, that's what would you generation? Is all the times
Speaker 2: mindset I use. I don't know, like I never heard
Speaker 2: that word, so I went on social audio. I would say,
Speaker 2: where's 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: You 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 2: And I believe to you and now look at you guys,
Speaker 2: but you have to put Look as far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 2: I know this. I was never afraid of my father,
Speaker 2: but he and still the enough fear. I knew he
Speaker 2: never hurt me, he would never put his hands on me,
Speaker 2: but he just had to give me that one eyebrow
Speaker 2: and I went stage left. But that respect is gone now,
Speaker 2: especially kids your age I had thirty years older. I
Speaker 2: everybody's a kid. You're not. We're talk in Boston, right,
Speaker 2: you could be eighty years old. My mother's talking about
Speaker 2: her friends. The only kid that we went to school with. Mom.
Speaker 2: I think the kids growing up and maybe has died
Speaker 2: by now, like right, but this is most kids. But
Speaker 2: I think that if you give those kids that little
Speaker 2: bit of fear, like your dad used to say, you
Speaker 2: 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 2: Never happened. Absolutely, but it was like the thought was
Speaker 2: put in your head, like you gonna shot my fingers?
Speaker 2: Is he gonna run me over? We know that's not
Speaker 2: really going to happen, but everybody hold that thought. We're
Speaker 2: going to break. I'm Sidy Stumbling. You listen to Toughest
Speaker 2: Nails on w b Z and we'll be right.
Speaker 1: Back, sponsored by Flora Decor, National Lumber and Village Bang.
Speaker 2: Good and welcome back to Toughest Nails on WBZ and
Speaker 2: we're here with who Wake up? Get off your phone there, Sammy,
Speaker 2: I'm Smantha. Who are you? I'm Cindy? Are you? I
Speaker 2: don't know I'm changing my name. I'm becoming Coela. You
Speaker 2: didn't actually like that name? We want to drink, Maybe
Speaker 2: you should name yourself. I was born to frank and
Speaker 2: then they changed it to Si.
Speaker 3: How'd that happen?
Speaker 2: Because my mother looked at me and she goes, Bobby,
Speaker 2: this is one ugly baby, and we are not giving
Speaker 2: her a boy's name because, oh my god, she's got
Speaker 2: these long arms, long legs, jet black here and she
Speaker 2: is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Nate give her
Speaker 2: a girl's name right away. My father's like, she's not ugly. No,
Speaker 2: she's ugly. They switched from the hospital. She's really not mine.
Speaker 2: That's what they thought. That's what she thought around. Okay,
Speaker 2: so the name Frankie would have fixed me fit me perfectly,
Speaker 2: I don't think so what would.
Speaker 4: Have I don't know. There's just something about when someone
Speaker 4: says Cindy stump Frankie Stumpo doesn't actually sound as intimidating.
Speaker 3: You say Cindy Stumpo nowadays.
Speaker 2: It's Cindy's such a like it reminds you of the
Speaker 2: Brady Bunch with the girl that wore the pigtails. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Cindy's just Cindy.
Speaker 3: Maybe you put a different meaning meaning to the name
Speaker 3: Cindy's like a boss statusy okay.
Speaker 2: So imagine if it was Frankie Stumpo, then they would all,
Speaker 2: you know what. Back then, they would have assumed I
Speaker 2: was a guy because they all thought, see Stumpo was
Speaker 2: a guy. Right. Remember we didn't have Google back then.
Speaker 2: It was like and then they meet me and they
Speaker 2: go like, you don't look like a builder. Oh, what's
Speaker 2: the build to look like? I'm sorry, like, should I
Speaker 2: put that in the dictionary? What's the build to look like?
Speaker 2: But no, I think to see your generation and we're
Speaker 2: going to get into everything you do in a minute.
Speaker 2: But be this hard working at thirty years old. I
Speaker 2: hate to tell you, but you are now the not norm.
Speaker 2: This was norm for my generation. Gold and push that
Speaker 2: rock up the mountain. Have that burning desire to be successful.
Speaker 2: We wanted it. We wanted to get out of the
Speaker 2: house at eighteen and go live our lives like love
Speaker 2: your mom and dad, but we got to go figure
Speaker 2: stuff out for ourselves. Right, Your generations like boomerangs boom
Speaker 2: your home, you come back, you leave, you come back.
Speaker 2: So you have the phenom now not 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 not my favorite moments because the learnings you
Speaker 3: get from you know, Frankied was working at the age
Speaker 3: of like fourteen outside.
Speaker 2: Of he d He's gonna be the due man in heaven. Okay,
Speaker 2: yeah he is, So he's got better stories than anybody, right,
Speaker 2: And then you put those two together in the room
Speaker 2: and you're just laughing because it's the greatest like hour
Speaker 2: 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 2: In life is Yeah, but Ross, you gotta get this. Hey,
Speaker 2: do you get the new ap Hey? Do you get
Speaker 2: the new Really? Hey? I got the new Betley? Hey,
Speaker 2: I got the new Roles Hey. Hey, hey hey, I
Speaker 2: remember what the first thing he said was, I should
Speaker 2: have left you well.
Speaker 3: Half of the stuff he mentions me, I don't even
Speaker 3: know what it is. I just go along like, well
Speaker 3: that sounds unbelievable. Ie those but no, he's he's I.
Speaker 2: Just bought a four thoughts. I bought a pocketbook twenty
Speaker 2: thousand dollars my wife, it's worth one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 4: Okay, somebody calls and he says your name like it's
Speaker 4: a panic see me? Yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Can you just send me this?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I got a good deal. He's like, I hit your
Speaker 2: phone every time you call me.
Speaker 3: That's one thing about him. He answers every single time.
Speaker 4: Every time you call him with a two seconds fault
Speaker 4: pone draft, phone drops and then and I'm like, where
Speaker 4: are you kids?
Speaker 3: Talk to you anymore?
Speaker 2: If you look at my phone, He's yelling at me, say,
Speaker 2: I answer your phone call every time? And do you
Speaker 2: stick me a voicemail? I need you to answer a
Speaker 2: question for me. Dude, I'm on a zoom meeting I
Speaker 2: just get and I was on a face zoom meeting
Speaker 2: so I couldn't text. I'm like, you can't make this up.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's definitely grew up with a
Speaker 2: cast of characters, right.
Speaker 3: Oh, cast of characters. I say it all the time.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm one of very few people that
Speaker 3: can sit in a room with business execs on a
Speaker 3: Tuesday night and have dinner with them, and then on
Speaker 3: a Wednesday night have dinner with some guys that have
Speaker 3: maybe spent more than half their life in jail and
Speaker 3: have a good time with both both crowds and learn
Speaker 3: from both crowds.
Speaker 2: Isn't amazing? So you vicariously do live through other people.
Speaker 3: I take lessons from everybody.
Speaker 2: So that makes you a genius.
Speaker 3: Now I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: No, it does. You know the same, and let me
Speaker 2: hopefully I get it right with my brain right now, tom,
Speaker 2: People make the same mistake over and over again, expecting
Speaker 2: a different result. A smile person makes a mistake, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: makes a mistake, but then makes a new mistake, doesn't
Speaker 2: make the same mistake. And a genius just lives through
Speaker 2: 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 2: But you will, you will. I don't think I was
Speaker 2: there at thirty either, but I got there. So now
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 3: studios which are contrast therapy studios, So infrared sauna, cold plunged,
Speaker 3: Vitamin C private suite all over Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: Okay, what made you stop this? And then we'll go
Speaker 2: get into what that actually is because some people that
Speaker 2: are listening don't really understand this whole new cold plungings, sauna, red,
Speaker 2: red infra red. I call it red by therapy for
Speaker 2: some reason, my brain infrared. And then what's the vitamin
Speaker 2: C show? 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 limes seal on the pipes
Speaker 3: and then basically freshens the water so that you get
Speaker 3: very very clean water. And it adds a little bit
Speaker 3: of vitamin C back into your skin.
Speaker 2: 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 2: And how many times can I if I want to
Speaker 2: go into the saun like what I heard when I
Speaker 2: was there, after going the sauna, go in the cold plunge,
Speaker 2: back on the sauna, going the cold plunge. Is that true?
Speaker 3: You can do. The beautiful thing about sweatoes is you're
Speaker 3: in your own suite 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 sea 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 a five minute shower, follow by a five
Speaker 3: minute plunge, followed by five minutes to get ready. So
Speaker 3: the whole thing is you want to go from hot
Speaker 3: to cold to cold to hot, because that's what's going
Speaker 3: to cause it therm, a regulatory reaction in your body.
Speaker 3: Explain that all right, So when your body goes from
Speaker 3: hot to cold to cold to hot, your body is
Speaker 3: activating a lot of things you don't typically activate. So
Speaker 3: what that activation does is it kills a lot of
Speaker 3: the inflammation around your muscles and bones and allows you
Speaker 3: to prevent things like sicknesses. It improves your mental health
Speaker 3: and improves brain clarity. But more than anything, just makes
Speaker 3: you feel better. Like the simplest way I explain this
Speaker 3: to people such as my dad's friends is coming to
Speaker 3: sweathouse just makes you feel better both internally and externally.
Speaker 3: You just feel amazing.
Speaker 2: Okay, So some people that can't use that. So for me,
Speaker 2: when I'm home and I'm taking a steam, I'm taking
Speaker 2: a son in my own house. At some point I
Speaker 2: run low blood pressure, right, so I gotta I feel lightheaded, yep,
Speaker 2: and I gotta crawl out of the steam like sometimes
Speaker 2: I literally have crawled out of my own steam, right,
Speaker 2: Can you help me? Like I think I'm fainting. So
Speaker 2: if you have low blood pressure, does that because my
Speaker 2: dog said, Okay, you run low blood pressure, Cindy. So
Speaker 2: if you're gonna take a steam, just take a don't
Speaker 2: 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 wouldn'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 2: Is this the same infrared that they're using on people's
Speaker 2: faces that put them on their faces and they here
Speaker 2: to make their hear grown their skin. So that's red
Speaker 2: light therapy, Okay, so it is.
Speaker 3: It is different. Infrared and red light therapy are a
Speaker 3: little bit different. There's some of the same dynamics behind it,
Speaker 3: but they are two different things.
Speaker 2: Track record, you went off of this before you opened
Speaker 2: up your first one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I learned all the science. Funny enough, I got
Speaker 3: into sweathouse through a former job that I had where
Speaker 3: I met the founder of Sweathouse and I told him
Speaker 3: I want to be a first franchise e. 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 is business. Is a no
Speaker 3: brainer from a trend standpoint, from an economic standpoint, this
Speaker 3: is the future. And this was about two and a
Speaker 3: half years ago now.
Speaker 2: So you use this how many times a week? Personally?
Speaker 3: Personally twice? I'd like to be using it a lot more.
Speaker 3: Too busy working, too busy working, yeah, which is no excuse.
Speaker 2: Okay, but wait, yeah, it is an excuse. It's called reality. Right. Unfortunately, married,
Speaker 2: you have a wife, you have a business, and then
Speaker 2: there's no time for you. Welcome to the real world, right,
Speaker 2: Welcome to becoming an adult. When you don't do it,
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 2: You can get okay, don't pay attention to him. He's
Speaker 2: just the producer. He comes in, Hendy flashes the clock
Speaker 2: in front of me, and that means I got to
Speaker 2: go to break and I told him, don't come into
Speaker 2: the last twenty seconds. Now, I got five seconds to
Speaker 2: get out to break. And you listen to Cindy stump
Speaker 2: On Chuff his Nails on WBZ and be right.
Speaker 1: Back, sponsored by Pellow Windows of Boston, Next Day Molding
Speaker 1: and Kennedy Carr.
Speaker 2: Check It, Sea Hungry, Welcome Back the Toughest Nails City
Speaker 2: Stumpo on WBZ. And I'm here. I'm just gonna introduce
Speaker 2: I Ray. Let's say me Nikki Nico. So let me
Speaker 2: ask you this question, Nico, why is it I need
Speaker 2: something for you. I need you to do this for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I tried this in my own house, right, okay, because
Speaker 2: I went and checked out your location, I said, okay,
Speaker 2: I couldn't get in. Sammy went in, chat I went in,
Speaker 2: no problem. The minute I put my feet in, I
Speaker 2: can't get past my feet. So I went home. I
Speaker 2: took my own ultra, my own tub that has ear bubbles,
Speaker 2: and I put the ear bubbles on and I tried
Speaker 2: it again, so I said to Ray, get me plastic bags,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna wrap my feet in plastic bags because
Speaker 2: if I get past the feet pot, you're I'm good.
Speaker 2: So why don't they make these booties that we can
Speaker 2: put on our feet if I could just slide in
Speaker 2: and hit my butt first, it's the feet problem.
Speaker 4: The funny thing is I'm the opposite once my feet
Speaker 4: 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 that. 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 2: So I'm not the one that has the problem the
Speaker 2: feet part.
Speaker 3: No, A lot of people wear the toe caps because
Speaker 3: it's their toes up both of them the most. So
Speaker 3: it literally looks like little like toe caps. So I
Speaker 3: can give you a pair of those, or I give
Speaker 3: you a pair of these special socks so next time
Speaker 3: you come in you'll have no issue.
Speaker 2: So I'm so I'm not cuckle crazy. No something people
Speaker 2: the feet thing, I mean, maybe, but not about that. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm cuckoo crazy all you people? Maybe cuckle crazy in
Speaker 2: thirty seven years and construction has done a number to me.
Speaker 2: 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 2: I try, I couldn't slide down. Come on, fuddy, I'm
Speaker 2: not thirty years old anymore, right, I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker 2: Like two, I'm like this, I'm sliding in. I got
Speaker 2: my feet up. I'm like, this ain't working. It's actually funny,
Speaker 2: but I figured this out. If I get my feet
Speaker 2: I gotta find something. Because when I put the plastic
Speaker 2: bags on my feet, you were good. It was good
Speaker 2: to go okay, And that's sometingly like this in my
Speaker 2: own tub, and rais dump and ice in it, right,
Speaker 2: and we got it to the coldest that could get it,
Speaker 2: nothing as cold as you as obviously, And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: I got this all right. Samuel lasted what twenty seconds?
Speaker 2: How long did you last? And Nicoes probably maybe maybe
Speaker 2: 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 it.
Speaker 2: It has to and it has to help with inflammation
Speaker 2: reduces everything. I don't care what anybody says. Ninety percent
Speaker 2: of why we feel like crap is inflammation. Okay, when
Speaker 2: you need start to hurt and this starts to hurt,
Speaker 2: you leg start to feel it's inflammation.
Speaker 4: But there's a huge stagistic going around that the more
Speaker 4: you infret, 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 2: Yeah I'm lucky. I get the Tenex Gary Brickham direct line.
Speaker 3: Yeah you got the direct phone.
Speaker 2: I got the direct But you know what, I don't listen.
Speaker 2: That's my problem, you know what I mean, Like, I
Speaker 2: don't listen why though, Because if something doesn't make sense
Speaker 2: to me and I can't wrap my arms around it,
Speaker 2: just don't like change. No, it's not about that. I
Speaker 2: think certain things are for gazy, Like I promise it's
Speaker 2: for real. No, this is not for gazy. This I
Speaker 2: know because this is real. This is real, and I've
Speaker 2: done my homework on this, right, so we're not I'm
Speaker 2: not new at this game. And that's why I love
Speaker 2: getting behind you on this one. Because inflammation is the killer,
Speaker 2: and then brain fog is a second. Especially for women
Speaker 2: in menopause. Okay, go do this. I'm telling you. It works,
Speaker 2: It really works. And for men, 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 sweathouse. But I've convinced people off the street
Speaker 3: that are maybe working a construction job and have never
Speaker 3: taken a mental health day ever for themselves to come
Speaker 3: into sweathouse. And now there are most loyal customers, most
Speaker 3: loyal client.
Speaker 2: Our mental health day. We came in at seven o'clock
Speaker 2: at night. That's my mental health.
Speaker 3: Yeah, got to start a little bit later.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, but last he's like every time we talked
Speaker 2: to him, I'm at sweathouse, like he's.
Speaker 4: The only person that has service there because none of
Speaker 4: us do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, he's good service. I'm at sweathouts.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, call me when you get done. No,
Speaker 2: I could talk to you. I'm like, I'm not going
Speaker 2: to talk to you while you're sitting in this He did.
Speaker 4: Three minutes that way, and if someone were to call
Speaker 4: you and distract you, you can stay in there longer.
Speaker 2: 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 2: It's better, it's healthier. Yeah, and then you're not drinking
Speaker 2: and you're not eating crazy food you know that.
Speaker 3: Feel like unbelievable, And you're doing something that at first
Speaker 3: it's out of the norm, and 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 2: We get the outa 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 2: That would be me too, Yeah, because our brains are
Speaker 2: moving fast than our body is twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2: 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 ram.
Speaker 2: And so you're all into yoga and all that you're
Speaker 2: but I like to beat. I feel myself. I did
Speaker 2: download Yuga as it's called. What's that? Oh, I'm scanning everything?
Speaker 2: Do you know? Deodrant is zero to one hundred means
Speaker 2: 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 spray that Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Won't say the name, but that's the Geordan I use.
Speaker 2: I've never used spray. Well, it doesn't matter. So now
Speaker 2: I'm scanning everything in my house but my cocon and
Speaker 2: everything with three six five from Whole Foods scans at
Speaker 2: one hundred one hundred. You know, my water one hundred
Speaker 2: one hundred because it's out of the glass bottle. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm lily, you could and everything.
Speaker 4: Can you skin a person?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: But see how you're doing that, say away, that's the
Speaker 3: shift I think we're seeing now and we'll probably continue
Speaker 3: to see for the next way.
Speaker 2: See that's great for your generation. My generation missed the
Speaker 2: boat on that one. Okay, about what you crew and everything.
Speaker 3: Just taking on more like a healthier lifestyle, checking everything
Speaker 3: that's going into or on our bodies. I think our generation,
Speaker 3: where we may lack in the work ethic, we're making
Speaker 3: up with in the we want to take care of ourselves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get back in the work ethic, okay, because
Speaker 2: we need work is healthy.
Speaker 4: I feel like that pendulum swings the people that like
Speaker 4: overly take care of themselves and the people that don't
Speaker 4: it all in our generation, I.
Speaker 2: 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. If we don't want
Speaker 4: to take care of again, go to the gym, Like,
Speaker 4: why don't go the gym?
Speaker 2: I did that for thirty years, right, like twenty five
Speaker 2: years hardcore and then I just got and then I
Speaker 2: went on TV. Started when I went to a GTV
Speaker 2: was my fall down on working out, right, and I've
Speaker 2: never really got back into it on a consistent space, right,
Speaker 2: So I just go like this, ask I'm old. Now
Speaker 2: I don't care, right. But then there's a whole gym
Speaker 2: in my house, right, so it makes me go down
Speaker 2: there and use it more. But to get back on
Speaker 2: treadmills and the ways to go on stem masters and
Speaker 2: step aerobics, and I just don't want to do that anymore,
Speaker 2: Like I don't. It really doesn't that maybe the year
Speaker 2: I'll 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 Hotbox, because
Speaker 3: they provide a very different type of workoud and you
Speaker 3: can get in a home gym or big box gym,
Speaker 3: and then you add in sweathouse 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 person.
Speaker 4: That's as your hours look 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. 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 2: Yeah, that's why we're in there now, because he's in
Speaker 2: Cheslan Hill.
Speaker 3: Yes, right down the street. I drive by your office
Speaker 3: every single day.
Speaker 2: Do you do just pick her up?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: I shouldn't. I always think about swinging in right on
Speaker 3: the corner of frozen Coffee.
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 2: We're manifesting.
Speaker 3: We're manifesting it.
Speaker 2: Does that mean it's on its way to being open?
Speaker 2: So you people with these words like to.
Speaker 4: Me meaning he's doing everything he can to open it,
Speaker 4: and he keeps getting blood.
Speaker 3: It's done. We're just waiting for the City of Boston.
Speaker 2: Isn't really great how the inspectual service works in the
Speaker 2: building department.
Speaker 3: The construction I've I've really struggled with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome to my room.
Speaker 3: Yes, But now having friends like you and Anthony, I
Speaker 3: can ask you guys like Hey, what do you think
Speaker 3: of this situation? But yeah, construction has been a little
Speaker 3: bit of challenge. And then after South Boston, at the
Speaker 3: end of this month, we'll be opening up Hingham as
Speaker 3: well down on the shipyard.
Speaker 2: So you just go you're going deep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just you know all out, anybody.
Speaker 2: Going this deep would never think that this is a trend.
Speaker 2: 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 sweathouse.
Speaker 2: So you just worked at one of these places and
Speaker 2: decided to ask the guy can I find know? So
Speaker 2: what was your first job?
Speaker 3: By the way, So my first job after BC was
Speaker 3: I was in investment banking at Bank of America Mary Lane.
Speaker 2: All right, everybody, hold that thought, got it, hold it,
Speaker 2: hold it, you got it? Okay, This is Citdy Stubblechuppers,
Speaker 2: Nails and WPZ will be right.
Speaker 1: Back, sponsored by new Brook Realty Group Boston will smaller
Speaker 1: Insurance World Auto Body and Tosca drive auto.
Speaker 4: Body the way.
Speaker 3: It's not in the way you said.
Speaker 2: I'm back to tap As Nails on WBZ and I'm
Speaker 2: here with Nico, I'm here with Sammy by crumbling. Okay,
Speaker 2: but let me explain something that is such an Italian
Speaker 2: thing to do. Never go into anybody's home empty handed.
Speaker 3: You can't do it. Like you can't show up somewhere
Speaker 3: empty handed.
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 2: I was like, crumbled on the way here for you
Speaker 2: where to go? You know? We all went back to
Speaker 2: like Revera for our pastry, like we ran back to
Speaker 2: the North pastry, like we don't buy pastry around here.
Speaker 3: No, I couldn't stop anywhere else.
Speaker 2: So we literally and I will drive to Broadway Limberto's
Speaker 2: 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 the yes.
Speaker 2: So Rossi got his down in the North. Then we
Speaker 2: went to Limberto's.
Speaker 4: And he was like, I can tell the difference, and
Speaker 4: he picked.
Speaker 2: Them three times. ROSSI lost that one.
Speaker 3: I mean, amazing, it is it is.
Speaker 2: I love them in there. But anyways, what we'll go back.
Speaker 2: We're gonna jump all over here because we have another
Speaker 2: segment here and I want to get everything in. So
Speaker 2: how do you know, Like Sam when we just went
Speaker 2: out to break, says said, she knows when I'm in
Speaker 2: a good mood or bad so with Dad, and I
Speaker 2: know that you hold him in. That's your idol, right,
Speaker 2: And how do you know when the conversation's starting off
Speaker 2: good or bad?
Speaker 3: So if I get a text from him before nine am,
Speaker 3: that just says the two words, high pal, I know
Speaker 3: something somewhere I either grewed 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, high pal, those
Speaker 3: two words. You get that before nine am? Just I
Speaker 3: know I mess something.
Speaker 2: And what's a good 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.
Speaker 2: So that's the one that you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it happened one time I was on when
Speaker 3: my last job. I was on the phone on a
Speaker 3: zoom with the uh the CEO, and I was his
Speaker 3: chief of staff at the time. So We're having a
Speaker 3: weekly you know, morning meeting, and I get a text
Speaker 3: from my dad. Also it was high pal. So my
Speaker 3: boss sees me on zoom. My face goes white because
Speaker 3: now I'm trying to think, all right, where did I
Speaker 3: screw up? I screwed up somewhere in the past few
Speaker 3: days where I just got a high pal text, Like
Speaker 3: you start going through the bank of memories. So I'm like,
Speaker 3: where have I been? What did I do? Ended up
Speaker 3: being nothing? But that's that's the text.
Speaker 2: Okay. So if we don't get a high pal, let
Speaker 2: me just get what.
Speaker 3: No call me be like what's up? What's up today?
Speaker 3: He likes, So what's up today? He likes knowing like
Speaker 3: what is my plan today? Because you know, he knows
Speaker 3: I went from having a very structured job to now
Speaker 3: just do what.
Speaker 2: Was your structured job?
Speaker 3: So when I graduated BC, I was in investment banking
Speaker 3: at Bank American Merylinch in New York. I did that
Speaker 3: for two and a half years, Oh thank you. And
Speaker 3: then I went into private equity with the local firm
Speaker 3: here in Boston. And then after that I joined one
Speaker 3: of their portfolio companies as the chief of staff to
Speaker 3: the CEO. So he that CEO, Ken Murphy, one of
Speaker 3: my best friends, taught me how a business should be
Speaker 3: run and all. In the meanwhile, I was still working
Speaker 3: with my dad to help in the background on the restaurants.
Speaker 3: And then in September of twenty twenty two, I made
Speaker 3: the decision, you know one, I want to start my
Speaker 3: own thing. And that's how Sweathouse came about.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this sweat house name is owned by somebody else.
Speaker 2: You've now kind of made a deal together with.
Speaker 3: The students, so it's it's a franchise. So I was
Speaker 3: the first franchisee.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So they owned thirteen corporate studios at the time I
Speaker 3: bought in UH. So I acquired the Assembly Row studio
Speaker 3: from Corporate UH in January twenty twenty three, and also
Speaker 3: the rights to open up across Massachusetts New Hampshire.
Speaker 2: But why did you start your own your own name.
Speaker 2: 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. So uh, And I also believe
Speaker 3: in the Sweathouse brand. I think they have a great team.
Speaker 3: I think they have the right marketing in place.
Speaker 2: Now. Uh.
Speaker 3: And I think you know.
Speaker 2: You felt it was it was laying out that mind
Speaker 2: buy into a franchise. Yes, because because you could have
Speaker 2: opened up your own name, I could.
Speaker 3: Have opened up Nico's Sweathouse Nico Sweatshop. Probably wouldn't done
Speaker 3: well with that name sweatshop, but yes, go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I also believed that if if you're one of
Speaker 3: the first franchises in a system, right, and you have
Speaker 3: forty other franchises that are going to open up studios
Speaker 3: across the country, if you get yours open and you
Speaker 3: ride the wave, you should be able to eventually one
Speaker 3: day have a really profitable, successful business. You can one
Speaker 3: day exit.
Speaker 2: Okay, now, if they sell theers. Let's say some company
Speaker 2: comes along, a BC guy comes along, whatever they want
Speaker 2: to buy out. Are you part of that? Would you be?
Speaker 2: Or these franchise owners don't get to 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 are
Speaker 3: my former bosses at the private equity firm.
Speaker 2: But they can't sell franchises too close to what's the
Speaker 2: mile 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 2: Yeah, oh god, please, yeah, don't even get me going
Speaker 2: about that. No, no, no, And we were union for
Speaker 2: a long time, right, yeah, I had my concrete being
Speaker 2: turned around on me. Don't even ask like that was
Speaker 2: all craziness. Okay, So what was the question we were
Speaker 2: talking about before? Sammy? By the way, Yes, what's that?
Speaker 2: How do I text you that you know you got
Speaker 2: 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 need 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: to me to go to you, so because they think
Speaker 4: I can take the heat. Like the other day, your
Speaker 4: lawyer literally said, I'm afraid of Cindy, so I need
Speaker 4: to make sure I'm there or we need to make
Speaker 4: the plan around me.
Speaker 3: So but that's cool, right, Like you guys work in
Speaker 3: to you. That's so cool.
Speaker 2: It's there's nothing to be afraid of me. If I
Speaker 2: hear that like ten times a day, I am the
Speaker 2: nicest person in the world. Now, I agree, you do
Speaker 2: me jourdey.
Speaker 4: No, it's how they approach it is that's the problem.
Speaker 2: So they approach me the wrong way and then they
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 2: I say that there's no such thing as a stupid question,
Speaker 2: so ask me the question. But then if she's asked
Speaker 2: me a stupid question, I'd say, wou'd you come up
Speaker 2: with a stupid question?
Speaker 3: Right? My dad's the same exact way, same exact way.
Speaker 2: This is just how we are. This is don't if
Speaker 2: you say to me, Mom, this might sound stupid, can
Speaker 2: answer this question. The first thing My reaction is gonna be,
Speaker 2: there's no such thing as a stupid.
Speaker 3: Question until you get asked the stupid question.
Speaker 2: But you're gonna but you're gonna keep you cool on
Speaker 2: the stupid question. Because they've already warned you. Right, But
Speaker 2: when you ask me the stupid question and I don't
Speaker 2: see it coming, then I go, what do you lose
Speaker 2: your brain? Like, we don't say did you lose your mindset?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: 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 of defense. That's what I call it,
Speaker 3: your first wall defense.
Speaker 2: So it's a big thing with me is called accountability.
Speaker 2: Just hold yourself accountable. You screwed up, said, hey, listen,
Speaker 2: we're gonna screw up on the field. This is what
Speaker 2: I did wrong. I'm on my way, buddy, beach. When
Speaker 2: you talk your way out and you keep doing that,
Speaker 2: like you keep making all these excuses why you did
Speaker 2: what you did and oh then you play victim, right,
Speaker 2: that's a big one for me. Don't stop those cury
Speaker 2: eyes now, like, no, no, you start this now, don't you.
