Speaker 1: lot of time putting the right lyrics to what I'm
Speaker 1: doing out there in the field. They have money, Okay,
Speaker 1: every one of those songs have meaning to those videos,
Speaker 1: believe or not. But I don't just pick music out
Speaker 1: of nowhere.
Speaker 3: I can tell I could tell. I mean not being

Speaker 1: you right now.
Speaker 3: No I can't, but that's right.
Speaker 1: Well we'll teach you about that anyway. So they're joining
Speaker 1: in the conversation. So what you start with your career?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, talk about Okay.
Speaker 3: So I am an award winning filmmaker. I say that
Speaker 3: very modestly, but I put it out there because I've
Speaker 3: won I think at this point, maybe eleven awards. I'm
Speaker 3: a filmmaker at hot I'm also an actor and a writer.
Speaker 1: You know that's called an actor, but we call it
Speaker 1: an actor. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Actor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I sound like you.
Speaker 3: I never thought of that as a matter of fact,
Speaker 3: and now from now on, whenever I say it now,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna think to you, I love that. So I
Speaker 3: did a mob movie about well ten years ago, a
Speaker 3: little more than that. It was shot north of Boston,
Speaker 3: and it went on to win several awards. It won
Speaker 3: Best Film and Best Director at the Beverly Hills Film Festival.
Speaker 3: It was called Boys. It did very good independently different
Speaker 3: theaters around the country did awesome, especially in New England.
Speaker 3: So what happened was my family and I we had
Speaker 3: uped and moved to I was still going back and
Speaker 3: forth constantly, but we uped and moved here to Florida,
Speaker 3: which were actually moving out of in about a week
Speaker 3: or two. And we did that back in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 3: ten years ago. So back in ninety six, when I
Speaker 3: first went out to la for film, I was told
Speaker 3: I had an accent. It didn't really stick out to
Speaker 3: me though. It was the first time I had heard
Speaker 3: I have an accent. I thought only people.
Speaker 1: I was at the first time you left Boston, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Think it was I was twenty What was I twenty three?
Speaker 2: Maybe?
Speaker 3: So coming out here it was a huge culture shock
Speaker 3: because I would say to somebody, would get to talk
Speaker 3: in and yes, They're like, oh wow, you do commercials,
Speaker 3: you do videos? Yes, I do cool. I said, all right,
Speaker 3: give me a second, I'm gonna go to the car.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get you a cod. They're gonna They're like,
Speaker 3: you're gonna go where do what? And I'm like, how
Speaker 3: are they not understanding what I'm saying. However, my biggest
Speaker 3: culture shock was going into a Dunkin Donuts here in Florida,
Speaker 3: and I ended up asking. At the time, they had
Speaker 3: a certain oat meal I was trying. I was on
Speaker 3: a health kick, and I said, can I get a
Speaker 3: hotty blueberry oatmeal? And the girl started turning beat red
Speaker 3: tomato red, and it was like, what's the issue? What's
Speaker 3: going on? And so the manager comes out and he says, sir,
Speaker 3: you cannot be inappropriate with my employees and be calling
Speaker 3: them hotties. I said, buddy, I asked for a hottie
Speaker 3: blueberry oat meal, and it was is just a riot
Speaker 3: to me. So from that I wrote a I was
Speaker 3: doing a lot of skits at the time on pumpkin spice,
Speaker 3: anything you can think of, selfies, whatever. So I did
Speaker 3: a skit where it was on the Boston accent and
Speaker 3: I was just role playing with my two kids, basically
Speaker 3: reality out here. It caught on so well. At the time,
Speaker 3: it was only YouTube, there was no TikTok, Instagram, Facebook.
Speaker 3: It caught on so well that I started to make
Speaker 3: several of these in between, you know, going around the
Speaker 3: country filming commercials, all that fun stuff, and it just
Speaker 3: caught on so don well that I just kept doing it,
Speaker 3: and somewhere in between, I took a break, but when
Speaker 3: TikTok and Instagram and Facebook started to do video, I
Speaker 3: came back and just even in the past year, it's
Speaker 3: done so incredibly well. And how I'm really doing is
Speaker 3: displaying real life.
Speaker 1: You know, no, no, no, no, gone, okay, but that's real
Speaker 1: life of Boston, right. So, yes, Boston is a really
Speaker 1: funny city to grow up in.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: So, as you know, if you grew up in the
Speaker 1: North Shore, you talk one way. Yes, if you grow
Speaker 1: up the South Shore, you grow you talk a different,
Speaker 1: different accent, a little bit inside Boston, it's not a
Speaker 1: little bit of a different accent. Then you go up
Speaker 1: to the richerd communities like Newton, Brookline, Whalen, Weston, they
Speaker 1: all talk proper, right, My kids talk properly. So if
Speaker 1: you have Seammy talk and you hear me talk, it's
Speaker 1: completely different. Right. Because she went to school in Newton
Speaker 1: and I went to school on the North Shore, and
Speaker 1: then I had the culture shock and they moved me
Speaker 1: to Newton. I'm like, what are we doing here? This
Speaker 1: is like crazy? These kids a week and they thought
Speaker 1: I talk funny, right, I go, no, I don't talk
Speaker 1: funny you people talk funny you people. Oh yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what. So on this social audio, when I go
Speaker 1: on I say you people, people will take that as
Speaker 1: like a dig, like I'm putting you down. What do
Speaker 1: you mean, new people, Cindy, like I'm being ulting. That's
Speaker 1: just how we say you people. But people don't understand
Speaker 1: that it's us saying that you people. We all going
Speaker 1: like you people all going, We're all going to meet
Speaker 1: dealing with them for dinner. You people all going. I
Speaker 1: mean that's absolutely We also can be very insulting soul
Speaker 1: and not even though we're being insulting, like I know exactly,
Speaker 1: we just kind of I think we're well. Like Chad said,
Speaker 1: your axent makes you tougher, and then you're in construction moms,
Speaker 1: so like you got every layer coming against you. Thank god.
Speaker 1: He used to say, thank god you're pretty, because if
Speaker 1: you weren't, mom, everybody would just think that you were
Speaker 1: you know. You know what I'm talking about it that
Speaker 1: I'm with the other side back in the Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: It's perfect.
Speaker 1: When you do your your skits, you're always using real
Speaker 1: true Boston character, and I think that's just you. Whether
Speaker 1: you're a character.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, well, it definitely is now. It's authentically me.
Speaker 3: When I first started, it was different because back in
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen sixteen, social media was doing wait.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hold that thought, we're going to break this
Speaker 1: ten minute just flew right by. I'm sitting some point
Speaker 1: you listen, Toughest Nails will be right back and welcome
Speaker 1: back to Toughest Nails on WBZ News Radio ten thirty
Speaker 1: and I'm here Frustrated Women. I gotta get kind of frustrated.
Speaker 1: It came in the song frustrated Women and I'm here
Speaker 1: with Sammy and I'm here with the Boston dad.
Speaker 3: Hello.

Speaker 1: guys from Boston, right, and you listen to the donkey
Speaker 1: commercials they do and everything, I'm sure you've seen it, right,
Speaker 1: it's been a big run.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1: Or you know, they'll go through Casey Affleck, They'll they'll
Speaker 1: go through the what pissa means like, we don't call
Speaker 1: it pok a book, a purse, we call.
Speaker 3: It a pocket book.
Speaker 1: Right, So that's right. It's not going through the names
Speaker 1: of things that we say here that people think clicker
Speaker 1: let him do it. He's the Boston. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's true.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I actually when I first got hold on.
Speaker 1: My producer, but well hold on, my producer calls it
Speaker 1: what no pocketbook? No, Boston calls it pocketbook.
Speaker 3: Everyone else is a course, it's a person. Yeah, exactly
Speaker 3: every day. Yeah, that was. That was one of the
Speaker 3: words I got made fun of. Actually, this was in
Speaker 3: California a lot because I kept saying pocketbook and remote
Speaker 3: was always a clicker and it didn't even matter, and
Speaker 3: a wheel was a tie and it just yeah, constantly, constantly.
Speaker 1: You know, So, what what are some of the things
Speaker 1: that you use out there that people like that we used?
Speaker 1: Is it this pissa the wicked?
Speaker 3: There's wicked with everything, there's no question about it. Uh, definitely,
Speaker 3: banga yuie, that's that like that was they thought I
Speaker 3: was being inappropriate completely calling a turn about a rotary. Definitely.
Speaker 3: That was a big culture shock for a lot of people.
Speaker 3: And you know, words like that are phrases that I
Speaker 3: knew my whole life that I didn't know they were
Speaker 3: set any differently. I figured around the nation, these these
Speaker 3: are the words that everybody uses. This is how everybody talks.
Speaker 3: And uh, you know that everybody eats fluff. That a
Speaker 3: fluff uta.
Speaker 1: Is a no no, no no, that's a Boston thing. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I learned that. I learned that when I went down
Speaker 1: to Florida. I went up and down public school, where's
Speaker 1: your fluff? And they're like, yeah, marsh Millow, what's marshmallow?
Speaker 3: Well that well that I made a video on that
Speaker 3: that actually happened to me, uh that they didn't know
Speaker 3: where they were or, to be honest with you, I
Speaker 3: did and it did very very well. I did a
Speaker 3: video recently where I asked people, are these called to
Speaker 3: use sprinkles or are they Jimmy's. I did didn't know
Speaker 3: what sprinkles were because Buffalo, and they're like, I said,
Speaker 3: can I have Jimmy's on my ice cream? And I
Speaker 3: was being told listen, you got to.
Speaker 1: Be campful, thin chocolate Jimmies or colored Jimmy's. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you think about it was.
Speaker 3: I was told be careful because that could come off
Speaker 3: as being very racist to me. And I said, oh boy,
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean obviously I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2: So I wanted the chocolate it was Jimmy's. And if
Speaker 2: I wanted the colorful, the sprinkles.
Speaker 1: So you called your generation called the color ones, the
Speaker 1: colorful ones, sprinkles, sprinkles.
Speaker 3: I can go with that. You know.
Speaker 1: Oh, people very sensitive today, Okay, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Agree one hundred percent. I think it's a little too
Speaker 3: much I've gotten. I got several messages I just didn't,
Speaker 3: you know, not being rude. I didn't respond to them
Speaker 3: as to why people were giving very long explanations on
Speaker 3: why I shouldn't even.
Speaker 1: Do yeh know, don't listen those people. You know what
Speaker 1: I do though, I love to fight back with them
Speaker 1: because it's a sport. Oh I do. I engage because
Speaker 1: it's a sport for me. Right, So you want to
Speaker 1: take a blow at me, I'm coming back with you
Speaker 1: on you.
Speaker 3: I really am exactly. Go.
Speaker 1: Look that's a Boston thing for sure, but go look
Speaker 1: at the go look at some of my Look at
Speaker 1: the one point six million views on that one that
Speaker 1: went viral.
Speaker 3: Now I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you that it has a money thing like this,
Speaker 1: and you have to see. I call them soy boys
Speaker 1: that come in, Yeah, I call them the boys that
Speaker 1: come in like they just want to throw haymakers, that
Speaker 1: mean for no reason, right, and then when I come
Speaker 1: back and say, body, don't let me emasculate you right now, Okay,
Speaker 1: like I need some of the comments.
Speaker 3: It is a lot of fun. It is a lot
Speaker 3: of fun at times. Definitely, I don't want to get
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 1: It's technically a sport. It's a sport. It's a sport
Speaker 1: for me when I'm born at eleven o'clock at night
Speaker 1: every sleep, and I'm like, okay, I'm going to get
Speaker 1: back at this dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well that's something similar happened to me.
Speaker 3: One of the video that did go viral. Somebody said,
Speaker 3: this is absolutely not funny at all. I don't know
Speaker 3: why it did as well as it did. And I
Speaker 3: answered back and I go, I'm glad you thought it
Speaker 3: wasn't funny, because when it happened to me, it wasn't funny.
Speaker 3: But I said, what's funny is how many hundreds of
Speaker 3: thousands of people find it funny. They didn't reply at all.
Speaker 3: I said, man, that was a good comeback. So if
Speaker 3: I have a good one, I'm going to go for it.
Speaker 3: But if I don't, I'll leave it alone.
Speaker 1: We just did. He moves his fists, right, that's what
Speaker 1: we do. It's just the thing we do. What are
Speaker 1: some of the words that we use here that we
Speaker 1: literally because sometimes even when I talk, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just sounded so stupid with that accent. Have you
Speaker 1: ever had that feeling when you're talking and you're in
Speaker 1: a room and I'm in a room with bankers and whatever,
Speaker 1: and I don't pronounce my cars and and they're looking
Speaker 1: at you like, oh, you know, I asked the guys
Speaker 1: I know graduate at Harvard jail, be you Northeast and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. We keep going right brown,
Speaker 1: and here comes Cindy in with you know, that heavy accent.
Speaker 1: I never got rid of.
Speaker 3: No, but I'm going to assume that that's what makes
Speaker 3: you me who you are and what Yes, that's what
Speaker 3: makes you so unique, especially as a successful woman in
Speaker 3: business and doing what you do. I mean, that's amazing
Speaker 3: because that really sets you apot And I'm going to
Speaker 3: assume that that's what maybe, and I say this respectfully
Speaker 3: makes you to a lot of maybe guys out there
Speaker 3: that are in your field, maybe more like maybe intimidating.
Speaker 3: That's like, man, she's a tough one. She's not coming
Speaker 3: in like this Cinderella, prim and Propa. Even though God
Speaker 3: bless you you look great, it's you're not coming in
Speaker 3: with that, you know, you're just wow. And I think
Speaker 3: that's that's awesome.
Speaker 1: That nic love God look at I'll under a lot
Speaker 1: of comments. I always say, then that makes your real man.
Speaker 1: I've been dealing with these hits for thirty eight years.
Speaker 1: Oh here, I'm used to them. But it's funny when
Speaker 1: guys come in and go, wow, we got a lot
Speaker 1: of mummy issues in this on this link right. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's actually really been more of the white young guys
Speaker 1: taking hits at me and not really yeah. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then the black guys will coming go and they put
Speaker 1: them right in their place. Right they've been so so
Speaker 1: you see the difference. Like it's like these white boys
Speaker 1: that are so insecure in their late thirties, got nothing
Speaker 1: better to do than to troll, and to do that right. Yes,
Speaker 1: And I got into messages with guys on my Instagram.
Speaker 1: I'm like, why do you guys keep having my back?
Speaker 1: There's like six or seven that keep coming in, but
Speaker 1: they don't know each other. They just keep coming. They said, Cindy,
Speaker 1: we know the grit and grind. We can see the
Speaker 1: grit and grind in people like you're the real deal, right,
Speaker 1: these guys are just these guys are just idiots. But
Speaker 1: I'm used to it. It's just kind of the business.
Speaker 3: But for you, was that a culture? Was that a
Speaker 3: shock for you, like on social media because you're used
Speaker 3: to being very respected and in your field when you
Speaker 3: started doing social media, when you started getting they when
Speaker 3: you when you were doing very well on social media,
Speaker 3: was that like whoa.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it was a little mind blowing. When I
Speaker 1: went to TV on HG TV and then my accent
Speaker 1: on HG TV, which is taped out of HG TV's
Speaker 1: out of Knoxville, Tennessee, let's go you know, call it
Speaker 1: what is OK?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So like you know, it's they got this. Boston brought
Speaker 1: them there for a streamale builder. You know, they didn't
Speaker 1: pick up Polly In again. They went right after a
Speaker 1: hot course Cindy Stumpo. But I would say that was
Speaker 1: the first time in my career that Samantha, my ex husband,
Speaker 1: somebody would be coming over the house and taking my
Speaker 1: laptop away from me because I would get on the
Speaker 1: HG TV side and go, yeah, really and you have
Speaker 1: to learn or you decide TV's not for you, right,
Speaker 1: I didn't like the hits. You didn't know me. You're
Speaker 1: from Boise, Idaho. What the hell you're talking about me
Speaker 1: for right now? Again, as you get older and you
Speaker 1: you know, you just do I process anything differently, say me?
Speaker 1: Do I still go after people?
Speaker 2: But I think that that was a bigger shock that
Speaker 2: you were women in a man's field then. And it's
Speaker 2: not as crazy as it was than it is now.
Speaker 2: Like it was, it was more intense than on HG TV.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure for their core audience.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the self way you are hated my guts, self
Speaker 1: hated me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And as we got further down the cell, that's like
Speaker 1: women shouldn't talk to men that way.
Speaker 2: Why they're more were more like women should work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you really went way down south, it was
Speaker 1: like women should be doing that job, they should be
Speaker 1: working in the office and all of it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't do it all. It's okay, I'm still standing, I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll let you know, well, that's obvious better than ever.
Speaker 1: I'll let you know what. I'm catching flies. I'm in
Speaker 1: Belmont at McLean's.
Speaker 3: Okay, nice, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what makes you you?
Speaker 3: Uh, it's very unique, it's very real. I like, I
Speaker 3: like where it's at now versus where it was. I
Speaker 3: think again. H was interesting when I first started was
Speaker 3: because I'm a filmmaker. At hot Is, I was making
Speaker 3: more skits, writing a lot of these things, like you
Speaker 3: go back to the earlier ones. They did very very well,
Speaker 3: but they were like skits inside of Duncan donuts like
Speaker 3: you see with the you know, Casey Affleck and the
Speaker 3: ben Affleck commercials, very much stuff like that. A lot
Speaker 3: of dances in their jingles.
Speaker 1: I thought, we're going to break, We're going to break you.
Speaker 1: Listen toughes Nails on WBZ and we'll be right back
Speaker 1: and welcome back to Toughest Nails on WBZ. And I'm
Speaker 1: here with Sammy, and I'm here with Boston Dad, right,
Speaker 1: Boston Dad. Silver, Darryl silver. Yes, how would you pronounce
Speaker 1: that silver? Silver?
Speaker 3: Yeah? You can? Yeah, there you go perfect. I like
Speaker 3: that silver.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's not silver.
Speaker 3: No, No, it definitely is not that. Though I know
Speaker 3: some people with that last name.
Speaker 1: Do you do this? I do this? I don't know
Speaker 1: if you do this. I don't put ours where they belong.
Speaker 1: But then I'll call Samantha and then she says, Florida, Florida, Samantha,
Speaker 1: why do I add the as Samantha?
Speaker 3: Definitely, I put them within.
Speaker 2: Where it's not there.
Speaker 3: Oh I love that.
Speaker 1: That's I take the premarter, so I stick them on something.
Speaker 1: We're going to Florida, right, we're going. Yeah, Samantha, I
Speaker 1: don't know why you do that. I don't know why
Speaker 1: I do it either, but you have to admit. But
Speaker 1: look at I kindly deal with Southern for so long too,
Speaker 1: and I want to dope slip down in the back
Speaker 1: of the head Scott Burton out there because he talks so,
Speaker 1: you know, so slowly that it's like we we're so
Speaker 1: fast here, like we got to get the rita's digest.
Speaker 1: Let's just go. And then you talk to people in
Speaker 1: the past, ma'am and uh, and don't call me miss
Speaker 1: Cindy because I feel like they that I'm above you,
Speaker 1: and I don't like that feeling.
Speaker 3: You know. Yeah, that's very common out here.
Speaker 1: And just don't call me me and don't call.
Speaker 3: They feel like they're being disrespectful if they don't do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but we're all equal. So just chant
Speaker 1: in that school too, So being in Florida from being
Speaker 1: in Boston. M H. Boston made you the character.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I have to say I wouldn't have come
Speaker 3: up with the concept if it wasn't a matter of
Speaker 3: not being there at the time. I had to have
Speaker 3: been elsewhere wherever that was going to be, And this
Speaker 3: happened to be the place because there it was just
Speaker 3: extremely common. Didn't think nothing of it, even if I
Speaker 3: would travel and hear that those particular specific words, not
Speaker 3: words everyone said. The misunderstanding of the accent would not
Speaker 3: have come about if not being in another place for
Speaker 3: a significant amount of time. So I have to thank
Speaker 3: leaving there in order to be able to have come
Speaker 3: up with this.
Speaker 1: Who's resonating with you out there New England is because
Speaker 1: we don't sell like New Yorkers. And I hate when people,
Speaker 1: when I'm on social audio go oh city from New York. No,
Speaker 1: I don't sound like I'm from New York.
Speaker 2: Let me here's a question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good.
Speaker 2: What do you hope viewers take away from your content?
Speaker 3: I think at this point entertainment and education. I think
Speaker 3: those are the two.
Speaker 1: Why were you educating people on the Boston accent?
Speaker 3: Not necessarily. I think now I've kind of gone into
Speaker 3: famous facts about Boston, famous foods that were invented in Boston.
Speaker 3: And even recently, one of the segments I started and
Speaker 3: I'm doing POT three tonight or tomorrow is things parents
Speaker 3: said to us growing up.
Speaker 1: And like they're playing traffic, So huh, like go play
Speaker 1: in traffic.
Speaker 3: Yes, that'll be that'll be tonight or the next one. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I want your parents to that around the country. If
Speaker 1: you got the parents did that around the country, ask
Speaker 1: people on social media, they've ye, your parents told them
Speaker 1: to go walk in traffic, go play in traffic. And
Speaker 1: what was go put your play clothes on? Was that
Speaker 1: last year's clothes that we put on? I don't I
Speaker 1: don't even know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, one hundred and so that I've enjoyed a
Speaker 3: lot because now you're getting common well actually, even the
Speaker 3: Boston content. If I'll go to YouTube, somebody will say
Speaker 3: I'm from Texas, or I'm from England, or I always
Speaker 3: wanted to learn about the New England dialect, I'm from India.
Speaker 3: I mean, you'll be surprised how many people truly enjoyed that.
Speaker 3: And you know, I think by Duncan, for example, bringing
Speaker 3: on these Boston themes.
Speaker 1: He's talking about duncandos guy.
Speaker 3: I see, yeah, they see significance and that this would
Speaker 3: do well even though it's targeted towards uh, New England
Speaker 3: per se.
Speaker 1: But if you notice Boston, it's either we talk like
Speaker 1: us or it's like this, darling, Yeah, let's go to
Speaker 1: the country club and Brookline and play a game of golf. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I rather shoot myself.
Speaker 3: And that actually was another culture shock to me as well,
Speaker 3: is when I would go out to say Newton and
Speaker 3: other spots in New England and realize that not everybody said, menga,
Speaker 3: what are you going to do?
Speaker 1: Means meinga Italian. It's minga. It's your move, hands up
Speaker 1: and down. It's like minga exactly means right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So where did you grow up?
Speaker 1: Where'd you grew up in Boston?
Speaker 3: I was born in Lawrence and raised between Lawrence and Methuen.
Speaker 1: So you technically, oh god, you're like really really really
Speaker 1: poor because that was like really poor. Well I.
Speaker 3: Actually, actually what's interesting, I actually experienced a little bit
Speaker 3: of both. I mean, so I would say growing up
Speaker 3: it was definitely more.
Speaker 1: All right, So if you if you came to Rea
Speaker 1: East Boston, those areas, we were really much more hardcore
Speaker 1: than you guys were.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean different because where I grew up, I
Speaker 3: mean I actually was able to experience very much the
Speaker 3: Italian kind of real Italian heritage, which is why I
Speaker 3: say ming gear a lot, and you know, like talk
Speaker 3: with my hands a ton and have a lot of that,
Speaker 3: you know, And that's why a lot of people will say,
Speaker 3: and I've had haters say, you're not even from Boston,
Speaker 3: You're in New York or you're from Jersey, trying to
Speaker 3: talk like Boston, and it's because of a lot of
Speaker 3: that Italian acting. But at the same time, it was
Speaker 3: cool because right next door in Lawrence, you had a
Speaker 3: lot of the you know, Hispanics and stuff like that
Speaker 3: inner city. So it was it was suburbia and inner
Speaker 3: city kind of intertwined. So I was able to kind
Speaker 3: of get a good mix of that, which I thought
Speaker 3: was great.
Speaker 1: So you don't it was a Celtic park, you don't
Speaker 1: use this word. This was the one that would get
Speaker 1: under my skin and my parents if a kid came
Speaker 1: over as us guys going.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's great.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean no, you sound like an
Speaker 1: idiot if you say as yous. Guys going use guys going,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, was that you?
Speaker 3: Well? It was interesting because, you know, through the seventies
Speaker 3: and eighties, you know, because of the success of a
Speaker 3: lot of the Italian movies, you know, everybody wanted to,
Speaker 3: you know, be Italian at one point. I think, even
Speaker 3: to a degree now, I think everybody kind of especially
Speaker 3: with the sopranos and everything. People love that type of stuff.
Speaker 3: It does very well, which is why in the movie
Speaker 3: that we're getting ready to do, there's a lot of
Speaker 3: that Italian theme that's in there also, and I think
Speaker 3: that's why the Mafia movie I did did really well. Also,
Speaker 3: I think there's always going to be a market for
Speaker 3: that type of stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but it'll eventually end in like nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 1: because by the late eighties we were it was done.
Speaker 1: Now it's just a bunch of wanna bees running around.
Speaker 3: Right Yeah. Oh yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1: Not saying that. Actually, I take that back. New York
Speaker 1: is still in New York, Boston is still but again,
Speaker 1: I mean I take that all back. Yeah, Okay, I
Speaker 1: just I just reverssed my views on that gate. That's okay,
Speaker 1: but it's okay again. You know, I think that a
Speaker 1: lot of people. And when you go into social audio
Speaker 1: and they hear the way I talk, they like, Cindy,
Speaker 1: say that again, and Cindy, what'd you say? Or and
Speaker 1: I want to you just said, because you stretch the
Speaker 1: word out so long that I don't even know what
Speaker 1: you just said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then I'm fair. Did you realize you're such
Speaker 3: a You're a character and you didn't even know that?
Speaker 3: So that added to in my opinion, a lot of
Speaker 3: what you you know, ended up becoming or who you
Speaker 3: were or who you still are. It makes you, It
Speaker 3: actually creates a character about you or in you, and
Speaker 3: you don't even realize that till you get to a
Speaker 3: certain point. And I didn't realize it as well. And
Speaker 3: then I said, oh, let me.
Speaker 1: Do something, let me embrace my character.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're a character. You are you are, and
Speaker 3: so you're you know, you know.
Speaker 1: Some people could take that as an insult, and some
Speaker 1: people could take as a compliment. But the truth is,
Speaker 1: I'd rather be a character than a dry being like
Speaker 1: that has no.
Speaker 3: So don't worry.
Speaker 1: A stiff. I don't want to ever be a stiff. Rather,
Speaker 1: you're not.
Speaker 3: I I promise you're not that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy, it is crazy. Give me ten words
Speaker 1: that you really get picked up part in Boston.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hotta, definitely. I'm going with again the two words
Speaker 3: that got me into three words that got me into
Speaker 3: a significant amount of trouble in the beginning, cod ca
Speaker 3: hot Like I told you the Duncan story, it was
Speaker 3: hotty because it sounds like you're calling somebody a hotty.
Speaker 3: And that was again the further especially her, the furthest
Speaker 3: thing from my mind. And yeah, so it's just those
Speaker 3: and again you always put wicked in front of everything,
Speaker 3: and you know that thought.
Speaker 1: We're going back to break This is Cindy Stump. When
Speaker 1: you listen to Tough as Nails on WBZ, we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. Welcome back to Toughest Nails on WBZ News Radio
Speaker 1: ten thirty. And we're back with Sammy, and we're back
Speaker 1: with I don't know, some dude that has a heavy
Speaker 1: acent whatever you want to call him, what's his name? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think i'm.
Speaker 3: You you are heavy.
Speaker 1: I think I am.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know you are.
Speaker 1: Definitely you're making me feel like i'm very smart. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you are wicked, smart, wicked.
Speaker 3: You don't need me to You don't need me to
Speaker 3: tell you. It's all over the internet.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Annie would.
Speaker 2: Chad asked, she's going to ask if someone with single.
Speaker 1: You have any single friends chat? Were you you're in
Speaker 1: Texas chat?
Speaker 2: Are there any upcoming projects or collaborations that your followers
Speaker 2: can look forward to?
Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, perfect question. She's a genius.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, so she's the educated one from Newton.
Speaker 3: Yes, next month. I am so excited. Script is finished, fun, educated,
Speaker 3: very hot, warming as well. We are starting our Boston
Speaker 3: Dad feature film. It is the follow up feature film.
Speaker 3: My last feature length film was the award winning mom
Speaker 3: movie Boys. We're starting it next month and we uh,
Speaker 3: I'm putting that out there seeking a few more our
Speaker 3: product placement partners for the movie and product placement for
Speaker 3: people that don't know. Very simple. When you watch any
Speaker 3: movie TV show, you see the Sony Vio computer, you
Speaker 3: see the can of pepsi. Those are the products and
Speaker 3: that's part of product placement. However, what we're doing being
Speaker 3: it's an indie movie and we have the power to
Speaker 3: do it. It's our film. We are putting the product
Speaker 3: placement pot and is in the actual movie. And if
Speaker 3: there is a character per se from that particular product
Speaker 3: or business that is not shy and would like to
Speaker 3: do a cameo in the movie with the product or
Speaker 3: the business, we would love to include that as well.
Speaker 3: So that is what we are doing, and that is
Speaker 3: a way that we are helping to finance the indie film,
Speaker 3: which I think is modestly.
Speaker 1: And when I was on TV, no name brands could
Speaker 1: be seen unless they were paying for advertised. Yes, they
Speaker 1: were shipping the clothes north Face. We could have north Face,
Speaker 1: we could have Levis on, we could have Boots on,
Speaker 1: Hallie Hansen. But if I ever had a water bottle
Speaker 1: they had, it would have to strip it right off.
Speaker 1: Whatever I had, I would cover my labels and my shirts.
Speaker 1: That's said no advertising to those people.
Speaker 3: M yep.
Speaker 1: That's when I learned, I gotta take the plastic poles,
Speaker 1: spring off the bottle. I'm thirsty. Yep, they come running
Speaker 1: over right off. We're not giving anybody any advertising unless
Speaker 1: they're paying. But a lot of people don't even know that.
Speaker 1: What was Chad asking. Chad asked a lot of smart
Speaker 1: questions because that's asked.
Speaker 2: I asked the other one already to She was the
Speaker 2: one asked if anybody had isn't.
Speaker 1: Chat in this somebody over on uh Chowder is in
Speaker 1: the movie business. I don't know. I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: I that it was chat, but maybe that could be wrong.
Speaker 1: I never know. I can't keep up with people. I'm
Speaker 1: loosing my mind.
Speaker 3: You have a lot on your plate.
Speaker 1: I got a town on my plate, a town of
Speaker 1: my plate.
Speaker 3: You do you do like you said the other day,
Speaker 3: you said, oh, com exhausted, I said, you are blessed.
Speaker 3: I'm like, when that time comes years from now you
Speaker 3: leave this earth, you'll say I left the legacy.
Speaker 1: You know with a Boston accent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that well, that being one of many.
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you a personal question. I can
Speaker 1: answer this honestly. Let me see if you answered honestly,
Speaker 1: if you could get rid of that Boston accent not
Speaker 1: as heavy as it is, and sound a little bit
Speaker 1: more articulate without bringing that Boston sling. And I didn't
Speaker 1: ask you the question yet, Blonde, I'm asking him the question. Yes, Sam, Yes, Samseley.
Speaker 1: Would you want to calm it down?
Speaker 3: I would nickname her the Sam stuff like I nickname
Speaker 3: everybody like seriously, and that aggravates people outside of New
Speaker 3: England A lot of times. I love nicknaming people, But
Speaker 3: go ahead, what should be your nickname?
Speaker 2: Samster?
Speaker 3: Oh, the samam stuff, the sam stuff, the saff definitely.
Speaker 2: I mean in high school everyone's like stumpy Stump.
Speaker 3: Oh. I wouldn't have called you that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, terrible name then. But my point is
Speaker 1: the question was if you could have brought it down somewhat,
Speaker 1: and it's hard to do. This is the way we
Speaker 1: grew up. And you're walking into a business meeting with
Speaker 1: other guys and you know they're already judging you by
Speaker 1: the way you talk, right, would you have calmed it down?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, definitely no, not at all.
Speaker 1: Never bothered you because I.
Speaker 3: Mean, I want you want people to love you authentically
Speaker 3: for you when they fall in love with you. You
Speaker 3: want it to be because it's you and whatever and
Speaker 3: whoever you are.
Speaker 1: No, you never said yourself going to a meeting with
Speaker 1: five suits. They're going to speak so articulate and they're
Speaker 1: going to pronounce it every word and you're going to
Speaker 1: come in like the hoodlum.
Speaker 3: You No, tho, I will tell you this when we
Speaker 3: did our Mob movie, I you know, had many meetings
Speaker 3: with roundtables where we would treat like these potential potaners
Speaker 3: and investors to dinner, God bless them and whatever not.
Speaker 3: And the folks that came on board and were very
Speaker 3: happy they did. They were all suits and they all
Speaker 3: none of them had the accent. One doctor in particular,
Speaker 3: blessed Us Hot was still dear friends to this day
Speaker 3: from New England, no accent whatsoever. He purposely got rid
Speaker 3: of it. He was our biggest partner and investor. So
Speaker 3: and I was always just who I am. So no,
Speaker 3: I think being who I am and who I've been
Speaker 3: has always been a blessing to me. And if you
Speaker 3: don't fit with it, then you just don't fit in
Speaker 3: my life.
Speaker 1: And then so the reason I'm asking Sammy, there's one
Speaker 1: woman that comes on chatter and when she speaks, and
Speaker 1: she's from Boston. I hear the way she speaks. I'm like,
Speaker 1: do I sound like that? My is my accent like that?
Speaker 2: I love nothing more than watching you room with everyone
Speaker 2: that has all these accolades and all these things and
Speaker 2: all these.
Speaker 1: Slow down because I can appreciate it.
Speaker 2: When I'm in that room with you and all these
Speaker 2: people that you think that are smarter than you, and
Speaker 2: you basically can eat them alive. And I think the
Speaker 2: accent makes you stronger because of that. Your your accent
Speaker 2: commands the room. Yeah, most of them that are so smart,
Speaker 2: they're like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and your name. And your name is perfect
Speaker 3: because it has a very Italian ring to it. I
Speaker 3: grew up with a very dear friend of mine up
Speaker 3: the street from me. His name was a very very
Speaker 3: close friend to this day, Mike Stumpo, And uh yeah,
Speaker 3: I love that related. I'm gonna yeah, it has stumple,
Speaker 3: it has like that. It's strong, I'm gonna stump on you.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just and it has a great ring.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you purposely plan that, but I perfectly.
Speaker 1: Planned that it went from Leonarti to Stumpo. Nod kind
Speaker 1: of planned that one. I'd be able to have kept
Speaker 1: Leonotti if I could have.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that one's great too. But I mean just
Speaker 3: your name now has a movie star ring to it.
Speaker 3: That that whole syllable thing. I love that.
Speaker 1: So you wouldn't change a thing.
Speaker 3: No, oh gosh, no, not at all, absolutely not, no.
Speaker 1: You know it's Sammy. I'm gonna agree with Sammy. When
Speaker 1: I walk into a room with a bunch of suits
Speaker 1: like that, I do take over that room yourself. I do.
Speaker 1: Even in chatter, those people in Chadow, they make fun
Speaker 1: of my accent.
Speaker 3: But you're smart.
Speaker 1: I'm not smart than Chad.
Speaker 2: Chadd is so smart, I said chatter specifically.
Speaker 1: I don't care a lot of these people much smarter
Speaker 1: than me. I just know my world. I know my business.
Speaker 2: You're more successful than that.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter about money. Money doesn't make you smart, just
Speaker 1: makes life easier. Don't do not forget said money does
Speaker 1: not make you smart. I know guys have graduated.
Speaker 2: I said success. I didn't say money.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe, yeah, I'm pretty successful. I can't take that
Speaker 1: away from me. I know I won't disparage myself on
Speaker 1: that one. But at the end of the day, I
Speaker 1: just I don't know. It's like it's when you talk
Speaker 1: and I'm listening to you on videos, I'm like, yikes,
Speaker 1: does he really have a boss? Acent?
Speaker 3: But yeah, well, and I will tell you it's authentic.
Speaker 3: But you know, like I've had people comment before, oh,
Speaker 3: you're over exaggerating, And there's no question. Different videos for
Speaker 3: if you're going more comedic, you're I said the wrong
Speaker 3: I said, you're using the rod work. Excuse me, the
Speaker 3: wrong word. It's not exaggerate, you're embellishing.
Speaker 1: And I have a fiance that says that we what's
Speaker 1: the word bast size? Every word? Is that the word?
Speaker 1: I don't know that. That's what we do to the
Speaker 1: English language here?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, whatever, it's it's the same thing when my mother,
Speaker 3: Yeah English.
Speaker 1: Well, not everybody walk off the Mayflower Ross Okay, might
Speaker 1: not speak too much the Mayflower. We didn't walk off
Speaker 1: the Mayflower. Where Irish immigrants amrants Jewish Indian immigrants. Boston
Speaker 1: is a melting pot, it is. But if you go
Speaker 1: to the Brookline Country Club, everything looks like it was
Speaker 1: a blondie blue eyes and muff Uffy and muffy, and
