I say that 74 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.120 very modestly, but I put it out there because I've 75 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:33.000 won I think at this point, maybe eleven awards. I'm 76 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.639 a filmmaker at hot I'm also an actor and a writer. 77 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.080 You know that's called an actor, but we call it 78 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.439 an actor. Oh my god. 79 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:40.840 Actor. 80 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.479 Yeah, I sound like you, Alasha. 81 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:45.680 I never thought of that as a matter of fact, 82 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.039 and now from now on, whenever I say it now, 83 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.159 I'm going to thank to you. I love that. So 84 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:55.520 I did a mob movie about I don't know about 85 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.879 ten years ago, a little more than that. It was 86 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.800 shot north of Boston and and it went on to 87 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.080 win several awards. It won Best Film and Best Director 88 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.319 at the Beverly Hills Film Festival. It was called Boys. 89 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:12.240 It did very good independently. Different theaters around the country 90 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.360 did awesome, especially in New England. So what happened was 91 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.879 my family and I we had uped and moved to 92 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.480 I was still going back and forth constantly, but we 93 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.120 uped and moved here to Florida, which were actually moving 94 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.000 out of in about a week or two. And we 95 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.079 did that back in twenty fourteen, ten years ago. So 96 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.480 back in ninety six, when I first went out to 97 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.800 la for film, I was told I had an accent. 98 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.920 It didn't really stick out to me though. It was 99 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.279 the first time I had heard I have an accent. 100 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.199 I thought only people, Why was that the first time 101 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:45.120 you left Boston? 102 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.480 Yeah, I think it was. I was twenty What was 103 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.839 I twenty three? Maybe? So coming out here it was 104 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.560 a huge culture shock because I would say to somebody 105 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.879 we'd get to talk in and yes, They're like, oh, wow, 106 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.480 you do commercials, you do videos? Yes, I do cool 107 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.839 I said, all right, give me a second, I'm gonna 108 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:08.439 go to the car. I'm going to get you a 109 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.920 cod They're gonna They're like, you're gonna go where? Do what? 110 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.920 And I'm like, how are they not understanding what I'm saying. However, 111 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.240 my biggest culture shock was going into a Dunkin Donuts 112 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.240 here in Florida, and I ended up asking at the 113 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.480 time they had a certain oat meal I was trying 114 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.759 to I was on a health kick, and I said, can 115 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:34.279 I get a hotty blueberry oatmeal? And the girl started 116 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.319 turning beat red tomato red, and it was like, what's 117 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.000 the issue, What's going on? And so the manager comes 118 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.959 out and he says, sir, you cannot be inappropriate with 119 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:49.000 my employees and be calling them hotties. I said, buddy, 120 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:54.560 I asked for a hotty blueberry oatmeal, and it was 121 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.000 just a riot to me. So from that I wrote 122 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.160 a I was doing a lot of skits at the 123 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.040 time on pumpkin spice, anything you can think of, selfies, whatever. 124 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.879 So I did a skit where it was on the 125 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.720 Boston accent and I was just role playing with my 126 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:17.399 two kids, basically reality out here. It caught on so well. 127 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.720 At the time, it was only YouTube, there was no TikTok, Instagram, Facebook. 128 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.720 It caught on so well that I started to make 129 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.959 several of these in between, you know, going around the 130 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.680 country filming commercials, all that fun stuff, and it just 131 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.240 caught on so don well that I just kept doing it. 132 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.720 And somewhere in between I took a break. But when 133 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.519 TikTok and Instagram and Facebook started to do video. I 134 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:50.360 came back and just even in the past year, it's 135 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:55.279 done so incredibly well. And all I'm really doing is 136 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.920 displaying real life, you know, and I've gone through. 137 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.519 But that's real life of Boston, right. So, yes, Boston 138 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.519 is a really funny city to grow up in. Right. So, 139 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.920 as you know, if you grew up in the North Shore, 140 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.720 you talk one way. If you grow up the South Shore, 141 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.079 you grow you talk a different, different accent a little 142 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.800 bit you're inside Boston, it's not a little bit of 143 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.839 a different accent. Then you go up to the richer 144 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:25.160 communities like Newton, Brookline, Whalen, Weston, they all talk proper, right, 145 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.160 My kids talk proper. So if you have Sammy talk 146 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.920 and you hear me talk, it's completely different. Right Because 147 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.199 she went to school in Newton and I went to 148 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.360 school on the North Shore, and then I had the 149 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:38.920 culture shock and they moved me to Newton. I'm like, 150 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.000 what are we doing here? This is like crazy? These 151 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.879 kids a week and they thought I talk funny, right, 152 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.959 I go, No, I don't talk funny. You people talk funny? 153 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.399 You people? Oh yeah, you know what? So on the 154 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.639 social audio when I go on I say you people. 155 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.959 People take that as like a dig, like I'm putting 156 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:58.920 you down? What do you mean new people, Cindy, Like 157 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.480 I'm being racist something.

You know, they didn't pick up Polly In again. 352 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:38.599 They went right after the hod course. Cindy Stumpo. 353 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:39.240 Sure. 354 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:41.920 But I would say that was the first time in 355 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:47.160 my career that Samantha, my ex husband, somebody would be 356 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.519 coming over the house and taking my laptop away from 357 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.960 me because I would get on the HG TV side 358 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.599 and go yeah, really, and you have to learn or 359 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.559 you decide TV's not for you, right. I didn't like 360 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:01.680 to hit you didn't know me. You're from Boise, Idaho. 361 00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:04.400 What the hell you're talking about me for? Right now? Again, 362 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.440 as you get older and you you know, you just 363 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:09.119 do I process anything differently, say me, do I still 364 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:09.759 go after people? 365 00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:10.200 You do? 366 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.319 But I think that that was a bigger shock that 367 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.680 you were women in a man's field then. And it's 368 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.160 not as crazy as it was than it is now. 369 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:20.920 Like it was, it was more intense. 370 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.759 Than on HG TV. 371 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:22.640 Yeah, I'm sure. 372 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:24.720 Yeah, I'm sure, especially for their audience. 373 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:25.599 Yeah. 374 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.519 Yeah, the self hated the way you are, hated my guts, 375 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.160 the self hated me. And as we got further down 376 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:34.119 the cell, that's like women shouldn't talk to men that way. 377 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:38.319 Why they're more like more like women should work. Yeah, 378 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.039 when you really went way down south, it was like 379 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.160 women should be doing that job, they should be working 380 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:44.279 in the office and all of it. Yeah, I can 381 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.799 do it all. It's okay, I'm still standing. I think. Yeah, 382 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.039 I'll let you know, well, I'll let you know what 383 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.000 I'm catching flies. I'm in Belmont at McLean's. 384 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:54.799 Okay, nice, that's awesome. 385 00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:56.920 So what makes you you? 386 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:04.359 Uh, it's very meek, it's very real. I like where 387 00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.400 it's at now versus where it was. I think again, 388 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:13.519 what was interesting when I first started was because I'm 389 00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:17.960 a filmmaker at hot Is, I was making more skits, 390 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.599 writing a lot of these things. I like, you go 391 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:24.359 back to the earlier ones. They did very very well, 392 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.759 but they were like skits inside of Duncan donuts like 393 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:31.039 you see with the you know, Casey Affleck and the 394 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:34.880 ben Affleck commercials, very much stuff like that. A lot 395 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.519 of dances in their jingles. 396 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:39.920 I thought, we're going to break, We're going to break. 397 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.720 You listen to have a Sails on WBZ and we'll be. 398 00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.720 Right back sponsored by Pillow Windows of Boston, Next Day 399 00:19:45.720 --> 00:20:11.119 Molding and Kennedy Carpet. 400 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.960 And welcome back to Tuffest Nails on wv Z.
