Jelloman isn’t being coy. He thinks the Eagles will win Sunday — and he’s making the Jell-O shots to celebrate a second Super Bowl title.
That, after all, is Philly native Paul Vile’s thing.
“I’m not gonna be superstitious about scores or anything, but I know we’re gonna win,” said Vile, aka Jelloman, to Billy Penn during an appearance at MaGerk’s Bar & Grill in Fort Washington on Wednesday night. “I mean, defense and Saquon [Barkley], I know we’re gonna win.”
And when they do, Jelloman will be there on the streets of Philadelphia, crowdsurfing and handing out 3,000 Jell-O shots. He did the same thing after the NFC Championship Game two weekends ago (and two years ago), though with only half as many Jell-O shots. You’ll have to watch the video to see how he plans to distribute them.
This has been Vile’s thing for nearly two decades, since he concluded that being a bricklayer was boring and he saw how much people enjoyed a good Jell-O shot — or any Jell-O shot.
Since then, he has been crafting and distributing Jell-O shots at music festivals and concerts across the country, becoming a beloved figure among festival-goers. His creative “Jell-O murals” — artistic displays spelling out band names using Jell-O shots — have earned him backstage invitations and recognition from various artists.
Beyond the music scene, Jelloman has become a local icon at Eagles events, where he energizes crowds by crowd-surfing and sharing his signature Jell-O shots.
And yeah, he is the brother of musician Kurt Vile, further embedding him in Philadelphia’s rich musical culture.
