• 2:01
  He's he's never been on a show. But I have actually met this guy
• 2:06
  a couple of years ago, a little while ago was in Miami.
• 2:09
  It was at a cigar event at the Super Bowl.
• 2:13
  And ladies and gentlemen, we are now talking to former Eagles
• 2:17
  wide receiver Vince Papali. Vince, what's up, buddy?
• 2:20
  That's so good, I'm trying to figure out what a fluffy steak
• 2:23
  is. I haven't quite had one again.
• 2:26
  It's. Fluffy.
• 2:27
  Yeah, it's fluffy moo. It's.

• 2:34
  The new way they grew all. Day long, you know, that's,
• 2:37
  that's yeah. Listen, when you get to the
• 2:39
  State House, say ask for it, Fluffy.
• 2:41
  Fluffy. It's fluffy.
• 2:42
  Yeah, it's a little. You know what, I've been sitting
• 2:45
  here for a few minutes, listen to you guys Joan, about the
• 2:47
  Knicks and and the NBA is it's a beautiful thing.
• 2:51
  And and I know you had mentioned about I'm not real happy about
• 2:54
  about the Knicks and beating our 76ers.
• 2:57
  But there's one thing I am happy about one person and that's Jay
• 3:00
  Brunson. I'm right now you're, you're
• 3:02
  listening to me from Mercy, me from Jupiter, FL, but I'm from
• 3:05
  the Philly area and we lived in a little town across the river
• 3:10
  on the New Jersey side, Cherry Hill and Jay Brunson and my son
• 3:13
  Vinny were, were teammates and, and best buddies as they were
• 3:16
  growing up. And then, then you know, Rick
• 3:19
  took his, his family and they went, they went elsewhere, but
• 3:22
  you know, and then he came back to Philly.
• 3:23
  But you know, he's, he's phenomenal man.
• 3:26
  And I tell you what you know, good luck to him.
• 3:28
  And if, if I'm going to root for anybody other than the Sixers in
• 3:31
  the playoffs, it's going to be the Knicks, I am sure.
• 3:34
  Now, now I like you even more fans.
• 3:36
  There's a little there's. A there's a nice kid man, I, you
• 3:38
  know, I call them, they're all kids to me anymore.
• 3:40
  You know, when you get as old as I am, you know, he wasn't.
• 3:44
  And, and just as the kind of person he was.
• 3:46
  My, my daughter Gabrielle, I used to work as the, the head of
• 3:49
  live game entertainment. So she she coordinated
• 3:52
  everything was on the court other than the game itself.
• 3:55
  So timeouts, but you know, halftime this that the other
• 3:58
  thing, she was all part of that. And Jay always came up when the
• 4:02
  next or whatever he was playing for came into Philadelphia and
• 4:05
  made sure he just walked up to Gabrielle and just to say hi,
• 4:08
  tell Vinny I said I tell Mister P Coach Pi said I just a great
• 4:12
  guy. So all good.
• 4:14
  And hey, our Sixers and our Flyers, all we got left out our
• 4:18
  Phillies and maybe a half decent draft pick with the Eagles.
• 4:20
  But who knows? You know, it is what it is.
• 4:23
  Yeah. It's a sweeping sensation for
• 4:25
  this year as we've seen the, the Philadelphia Flyers get swept
• 4:29
  and now we saw the Philadelphia 76ers because they have swept,
• 4:33
  but there's a team that hasn't gotten swept.
• 4:35
  As a matter of fact, they won a Super Bowl 2 years ago.
• 4:38
  But we're not going to get into that.
• 4:39
  First, I want to get into your movie because IA lot of people
• 4:42
  that have listened to our show, I, I said we're going to talk to
• 4:45
  Vince Papali and Vince was the, the voice and the face of the
• 4:51
  movie Invincible. And if you've never seen it,
• 4:53
  it's a Disney movie, go check it out.
• 4:55
  It's on Toby right now. I think you can get it on Toby
• 4:57
  right now. It's a sensational movie.
• 5:00
  It's a great story behind who you are as a person and really
• 5:04
  how you worked your ass off to get to the NFL and a surprise
• 5:09
  because of a coach. Now I I want you to go into your
• 5:13
  story in because I think some of the story from the movie was a
• 5:18
  little bit out there. I mean, it wasn't really fully
• 5:20
  the full story behind who you are and, and how, how far you
• 5:24
  went as a football player and and where you became, where you
• 5:28
  became Vince Papali of the Philadelphia of Philadelphia.
• 5:32
  I'm sorry, Eagles, by the way, my second favorite team.
• 5:35
  Anyways, tell us a little bit about that story.
• 5:38
  Well, you know, when they make a movie, they they want to
• 5:40
  dramatize a few things and they want to do this, they want to do
• 5:43
  that. And everybody asks, you know,
• 5:45
  for, you know, what's Mark Wahlberg like I was, I just came
• 5:48
  from an event with a Palm Beach, the Italian Americans, you know,
• 5:53
  and, and, and that's all about doing the charity and everybody
• 5:58
  wants to know about Mark Wahlberg.
• 6:00
  And that was one of the number one questions.
• 6:02
  How true was a movie? Listen, when they make that
• 6:04
  movie about you and it could be it's it's pretty nuts.
• 6:06
  And it just came out of nowhere. When they make that movie about
• 6:10
  you, you better be ready because they, they, they want to,
• 6:13
  obviously they want to make and make sure they have drama, make
• 6:15
  sure there's reaction from the stands.
• 6:18
  And then for the people in the in the theater, I used to go to
• 6:20
  screenings with the producers and sit in the back and they
• 6:24
  would play around them with a little bit, you know, with what
• 6:26
  they're going to do with the final movie to see what they say
• 6:29
  played, you know, PLAYED, you know, did it play well?
• 6:34
  And then the second most often asked question is my wife's
• 6:37
  still a Giants fan. Well, sitting in the other room
• 6:41
  and and my wife for 33 years, she didn't wear a Giants jersey.
• 6:45
  She wore that jersey behind me. The greatest 3 numbers there are
• 6:49
  in the world, letters in the world, the USA.
• 6:52
  Janet was on the World Olympic gymnastics team back in the 70s
• 6:57
  and she's coached and taught all over the world.
• 6:59
  And she she's but what, what happened is we needed the NFL's
• 7:04
  endorsement and in order so we could use their, their rights
• 7:08
  with their logo and all those kinds of things.
• 7:10
  Otherwise we'd be the Philadelphia pigeons or whatever
• 7:13
  they wanted to do us, you know, with all those movies that were
• 7:15
  coming out at that time. And they they asked, they they
• 7:19
  said sort of, you know, if you want our endorsement, we would
• 7:22
  like, we would like Janet to be a Giants fan and a bartender.
• 7:25
  And, and in reality, she was a coach at the University of
• 7:28
  Pennsylvania and, you know, coached all over the world, as I
• 7:30
  said, and played for USA. So we went with it.
• 7:33
  It was cool. And I said to her, you know, I
• 7:35
  said, you don't have to do this. What are you crazy?
• 7:38
  I mean, Disney is about ready to invest XA $1,000,000 in in this
• 7:41
  movie and you're going to play around with something like that.
• 7:45
  Let's go. And, and it worked out pretty
• 7:47
  good. But you know, to make the Long
• 7:50
  story short, I wish they had gone back a few years prior
• 7:54
  because in reality, I, I wasn't, I wasn't a bartender and a
• 7:58
  substitute teacher. I was at that time because I was
• 8:01
  playing in the World Football League and that leg had folded.
• 8:04
  And after four games and I was ready to go back and get my
• 8:08
  teaching job at my high school alma mater, but it wasn't
• 8:11
  available. So they gave me a leave of
• 8:12
  absence. So in the meantime, I had AI
• 8:15
  did, I was a bartender, substitute teacher.
• 8:18
  And then Dick Ramille came into town and had that free agent try
• 8:21
  out and I got a shot. But you know, I, I, I taught in
• 8:24
  my high school for six years at bright Brighton, suburban
• 8:27
  Philly, right by the Philly airport.
• 8:29
  And, and I was working on my master's degree, trying to
• 8:32
  qualify for Olympic trials, actually in the decathlon and,
• 8:36
  and playing those rough touch legs, all that stuff you saw
• 8:38
  with a rough touch. That was all true.
• 8:40
  Any, any and all the action that you saw in training camp and
• 8:44
  anything you saw with the players on the field, you know,
• 8:46
  whether they be the New York Giants or whether it be the
• 8:49
  Cincinnati Bengals or the Eagles, all those players were,
• 8:53
  were current and, or were Arena Football League players and, and
• 8:57
  some were just retired NFL players.
• 9:00
  And so the contact and the hitting man, it was it was like
• 9:03
  this and in NFL films in the NFL came up when they saw the final
• 9:07
  production and they couldn't believe how beautiful it was
• 9:09
  done and blended and how real it looked.
• 9:12
  But you know, they, they did a great job and it, and it's it
• 9:14
  and it's, it's all about, you know, you talk to Rudy or any of
• 9:17
  those other kinds of movies where they'd make the movie
• 9:19
  about you. And Rudy's a good buddy of mine,
• 9:22
  you know, they're, they want to do things that they think are
• 9:24
  going to play really well in the theater.
• 9:27
  And most, I would say 80% of it was right on the money.
• 9:31
  And I helped, I helped with the production of it and the screen
• 9:34
  writing of it. I didn't have any, I didn't, it
• 9:36
  wasn't my screen writing, but I did work with a screenwriter.
• 9:39
  We didn't have Google back then. So, you know, everything was
• 9:43
  done over the phone or I would send stuff something overnight
• 9:46
  to, to my screenwriter, Brad Gan, who, who, who had had
• 9:50
  success in writing some movies. I mean, writing some screenplays
• 9:54
  became movies. And you know, you go through the
• 9:56
  process, the guys who were the guys who were the producers or
• 9:59
  the guys who did miracle. I mean, you know, Miracle,
• 10:02
  what's the what was the number one movie that we're talking
• 10:04
  about packing with the Olympics with our USA Hockey team, you
• 10:07
  know, and the team was for the world championship and, and, and
• 10:11
  the, and the producer and the executive producer, the guy that
• 10:14
  funded all the money in the beginning to get this gone was
• 10:17
  the guy that created America's next model, and that was Ken
• 10:20
  Walk and Ken Mock. Excuse me.
• 10:23
  So, you know, it was a cluster was it was a team of everybody
• 10:26
  together. And it, and it happened with a
• 10:28
  phone call saying I was going to be compared to Rocky on Monday
• 10:32
  Night Football to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Rocky.
• 10:37
  And so it was, it was Ron Jaworski and a great, the, the
• 10:39
  late great Stuart Scott, you know, Oh yeah, you know, and,
• 10:44
  and they were messing around and there's this 5 minute feature
• 10:47
  they were doing. And, you know, and Sylvester
• 10:49
  Stallone was kind enough to allow us to use some of the some
• 10:53
  of the film from his movie and comparing me to Rocky because
• 10:56
  they always call me the real life Rocky.
• 10:58
  And that that led to the production, the movie.
• 11:00
  All of a sudden, Hollywood came a calling, and as they say, the
• 11:04
  rest is history. And I'm talking to you guys, So
• 11:06
  what could be better than that? I will say this.
• 11:08
  So you mentioned Stuart Scott and Stuart Scott's 3430 came out
• 11:13
  and ESPN reached out to me and wanted a piece that I kind of
• 11:17
  did with New York sports scene and actually got credit for that
• 11:21
  30 for 30. So for any fan that watch the 30
• 11:24
  for 30, if you go and look at the back end of it, my name was
• 11:27
  actually over there as one of the guys from New York sports
• 11:29
  scene. So that was one thing.
• 11:30
  And, and Rudy is one of my favorite football movies, but
• 11:34
  Joe Montana just came out. What was it 2 years ago and said
• 11:37
  that story is not true? That's, that's, that's a bunch
• 11:40
  of crap. You know Joe Montana, you know
• 11:42
  Joe, he, he has his own opinion to every, everything when it
• 11:45
  comes to Notre Dame. But I wanted to get into some of
• 11:48
  the crap that we saw during the movie.
• 11:50
  I, I, I hate when people get picked on.
• 11:52
  I, I, I don't like bullies. That's one of the thing.
• 11:55
  When I was a kid, I used to fight and beat up bullies.
• 11:58
  And when you were trying out for the team and you were trying to
• 12:02
  make the team and Dick for Meal was testing you and and and the
• 12:06
  players were testing you, who is giving you the most problems in
• 12:09
  that locker? Room because you the, the, the
• 12:12
  actually some of the, well, the defensive backs because they
• 12:15
  didn't like my sour play because my sour play was is we, we, we,
• 12:20
  there's a word, you know, a lot of guys when they're wired
• 12:22
  receivers pregnant will tell us that, you know, if you're a wide
• 12:24
  receiver, they'll come up and they'll, they'll just put their
• 12:26
  hands right on your chest. We'll call it a boss block, but
• 12:28
  you know, it's a little bit more explicit than that.
• 12:31
  And my style was I would blow a guy up, you know, my, my target
• 12:36
  was his Belpaco and below. And, and they, they were pissed
• 12:40
  off, especially in the training camp because you know, I, I
• 12:43
  anything that moved and I told him, I said, if you're on my way
• 12:45
  or you're around me and, and, and I'm in, I'm in and it's a
• 12:48
  contact drill or thought tempo. I'm coming at you full speed.
• 12:51
  So get out of my way. And they didn't like that and
• 12:55
  and it went and it and it boiled into the locker room.
• 12:57
  But you know, eventually after I got into training camp when I
• 13:01
  wound up leading the team at touchdowns and receptions, which
• 13:03
  was a little bit different than the way the movie was was
• 13:07
  portrayed at the right hand that it was, you know, was iffy if I
• 13:09
  was going to make it. And you know, all these guys
• 13:12
  became my buds and you know, eventually they all voted me
• 13:15
  captain of the team. But you know, it's here's what
• 13:18
  was really cool guys, is Widener College where I was doing what
• 13:22
  where I was going through training camp was 6 miles from
• 13:26
  where I grew up, 6 miles from where I went to high school, 6
• 13:30
  miles from where I taught and coached.
• 13:33
  And my dad worked at Westinghouse on the river right,
• 13:36
  right by the Philly airport. So every day, my former
• 13:40
  students, the guys I was playing rough touch with, the guys I
• 13:43
  played semi Pro Football for the Aston Knights with, you know, my
• 13:46
  track guys, my high school guys, The, the, the, the, the, the,
• 13:50
  the Westinghouse guys, they were all piling in and rooting for
• 13:54
  me. So every time I would catch a
• 13:55
  pass, I'd take off and I would just go and run into the end
• 14:00
  zone because to me, I, I was in, I was in track shape, I was in
• 14:04
  decathlon shape. And so I did that and then the
• 14:07
  fans would start, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:10
  And and then Coach Ramil would look over to see what was going
• 14:13
  on. If he wasn't watching the drill,
• 14:15
  he'd eventually see it on film that night.
• 14:17
  And that that was my style. You know, I did things and, you
• 14:20
  know, we we got into a Nutcracker.
• 14:22
  You know what a Nutcracker Drew is?
• 14:23
  You know, you just blocking against another guy, a defensive
• 14:26
  guy, and they hand the ball to a running back and they would put
• 14:29
  AD backer over top of me. I said, get him out of here,
• 14:31
  Bree, give me a linebacker. I'm a linebacker.
• 14:33
  I put somebody who's tough and and I just I I talked a lot.
• 14:38
  I talked a lot of trash out there.
• 14:40
  And then in the locker room, it was just me, you know, just
• 14:43
  having a ball and, and just listening the guys bitching, the
• 14:45
  moaning about how tough different most practices were
• 14:48
  and everything was the tempo, you know, you had to have your
• 14:51
  helmet, your pants on. And here I is.
• 14:53
  And the more, the more bitching I heard that that was music to
• 14:57
  my ears, baby, you know, because I knew I knew.
• 15:00
  So, but I, I, you know, I, I plus, no, this here's a good
• 15:05
  one. You'll like this one.
• 15:06
  I, I, I had a really cool car back then in that time by the
• 15:09
  Datsun 280 CT top and, and our, our, our wide receivers coach
• 15:14
  Dick Corey's son was about driving age and he loved my car.
• 15:19
  And he says, Vinnie, Vinnie Vinnie, he says, can I, can I
• 15:21
  drive your car? And it was, it was, it was an
• 15:23
  automatic. And I said, yeah, you can drive
• 15:25
  the car. I said, but what you got to do,
• 15:27
  I said, you've got to check in on the meetings every once in a
• 15:29
  while. Be my fly in a wall.
• 15:31
  Well, in the movie, there's that one scene where you know, my, my
• 15:36
  guy Danny Franks comes up and says, hey, you know, you got to
• 15:39
  do this or something, the weather, you know, and that was
• 15:42
  all because I, I had to fly in the wall here.
• 15:44
  I was going there. He says, hey, you're #3 in the
• 15:46
  depth chart right now, you're this, you're that you got to
• 15:48
  work on this. They love what you did about
• 15:51
  that, you know, and I saw I had that guy and it was pretty cool,
• 15:55
  you know, and I and I know I had that for me all behind me.
• 15:57
  And then you know, what about how many somebody years later,
• 16:02
  let's see it into O2. And I was retired in, in 89 and
• 16:06
  79. So, you know, 13 years later, I
• 16:09
  get to have this, this invincible thing.
• 16:12
  And it's really been wild. And you know, our, our, our, our
• 16:17
  premier was up in New York at the Zekefeld Theater.
• 16:20
  Yep. So, and so that was pretty cool,
• 16:22
  you know, to be up there in New York City for it.
• 16:24
  And it was, it was great and it's still great, you know, and
• 16:27
  it's still gone and, you know, I might, my son's playing for
• 16:30
  Italy's Olympic. He's a dual citizen for Italy
• 16:34
  and he's so it for the last couple of summers he's been in
• 16:37
  the World Championships, whatever there.
• 16:39
  And believe it or not, there's people from teams and other
• 16:42
  countries have come up to me because of Invincible that I I
• 16:46
  didn't even know was showing over there.
• 16:48
  But you know, it's, it's, it's gotten international and, and
• 16:52
  it's, it's been a lot of fun. So nobody's had more fun than
• 16:54
  me. But, you know, it wasn't, it
• 16:56
  wasn't easy on everybody else, especially my kids growing up.
• 16:59
  When everybody says the only reason you got where you are is
• 17:01
  because you're old man, you know, it's this and that.
• 17:04
  So, but they, they, they, they learned to overcome that.
• 17:06
  But you know what, like you, I was, I, I was being bullied, but
• 17:10
  I wasn't beaten up always. They beat the crap out of me
• 17:12
  half the time because yeah, I was, wasn't all that big, but
• 17:15
  I'm faster than hell, I could run away from him as quick as
• 17:19
  anybody. So but I, I in the end, I got
• 17:21
  it. I, I got in in the end.
• 17:23
  So it's all good. So I want to go back to you were
• 17:25
  mentioning your track career, you're doing that in college as
• 17:27
  well. And then obviously the the
• 17:29
  Olympics and there's we've seen it a lot now where these players
• 17:32
  go after their football career, go to the Olympics.
• 17:35
  We saw that with Marquis Goodwin as a track runner and a couple
• 17:37
  others as well. What was it like trying to
• 17:39
  balance that out? How do you think that is in
• 17:41
  modern sports today? Well, I don't know, you know,
• 17:44
  whatever. If they feel that they can.
• 17:45
  You know, you guys were talking earlier about being in your
• 17:47
  prime. You know, it would for a for
• 17:50
  decathlete. Decathlete is considered to be
• 17:52
  in his primary. He's 28 years old and and what
• 17:55
  for So and I, and I sort of I went to it.
• 17:58
  I went to Saint Joe's college on a track scholarship for pole
• 18:00
  voting. I never pole voted before And
• 18:03
  and on Father's Day, I, I hit 14 six and the world's record was
• 18:06
  16. And that my Father's Day gift to
• 18:09
  my dad was a scholarship to college.
• 18:12
  And what, when I got there, they said, well, you're not just
• 18:14
  going to pole vault. You're going to long jump,
• 18:16
  triple jump, high hurdle and you're going to run, you're
• 18:18
  going to lead off the 440 relay. So where we meet, I, I, I, I, I
• 18:22
  did, I did 5 events and, and did that for four years.
• 18:26
  And that eventually led to the decathlon.
• 18:28
  But you know, for those who make those transitions, God bless
• 18:31
  them. I mean, there's so many great
• 18:32
  athletes out there. Go for it, you know, and, and
• 18:35
  give it everything you got. I mean, you're going to think I,
• 18:37
  I got a lot of crap. When, when, when, when I was,
• 18:40
  you know why it's never been done before.
• 18:41
  You know your names, you, you don't have college football on
• 18:45
  your resume. You'll get hurt, you'll get
• 18:46
  injured. You know, what makes you think
• 18:48
  that you can make the team? That's the all I want.
• 18:50
  Just give me a chance. That's all, you know, that's
• 18:52
  all. And coach from Bill gave me the
• 18:54
  chance and you know, he's we're going to, we're all going to get
• 18:57
  together for a big celebration for his birthday.
• 19:00
  That's going to be hosted by Ron Jaworski Jaws.
• 19:03
  You know, and you know, thank God for Dick from me when he
• 19:06
  gave me that shot. Talk to me a little bit about
• 19:08
  them. I said you grew up in Northeast
• 19:10
  and it's kind of gritty and it's kind of tough up in that area of
• 19:14
  the country. But as you listen to your story
• 19:16
  or as our watchers, umm, listen and watch your story, there's
• 19:20
  onset shift that that's had happened to believe that you
• 19:24
  belong in the NFL. Talk to us a little bit about
• 19:27
  you going out and trying out in the open tryout versus you
• 19:31
  believe in that you belong in in the NFL.
• 19:34
  Well, I you know, it's, it's it's interesting.
• 19:36
  That's a great question server man asked of me before, but at
• 19:40
  that at that time I had which wasn't, which wasn't in the
• 19:45
  movie because they wanted they didn't want to jeopardize the
• 19:47
  drama of of me making it from the Eagles.
• 19:50
  But I did play in the world Football League, which is where
• 19:53
  Larry Zaka, Jim kick warfield, they all defected to and and so
• 19:58
  I, I, I did a free agent try out with them.
• 20:00
  I actually had four or five tryouts and I wound up.
• 20:03
  Starting as a wide receiver and, and I was against a lot of guys
• 20:06
  that were in the NFL and my mindset was if I could ever.
• 20:10
  And I'm a season ticket holder for the Philadelphia Eagles
• 20:13
  since I'm a junior sophomore in college with the guys in the
• 20:17
  movie we all had, we were, you know, we were all buddies and we
• 20:20
  all had those season tickets. My mindset was that, Jesus, I
• 20:24
  can only get a chance, but I'm never going to get a chance.
• 20:26
  So I wrote letters to the general manager.
• 20:28
  We didn't have Internet back then, you know, we didn't have
• 20:31
  text. We couldn't e-mail.
• 20:33
  And I'm writing letters. And I did get a letter back.
• 20:35
  And me, no, nobody, you know, you're not a football player
• 20:37
  and, you know, forget about it. And so my my lucky thing was
• 20:43
  that when the lake folded and this was and I was still in
• 20:48
  great shape and coach from Mill came in with his tryout.
• 20:51
  Is that my mindset? If you know, if I can only get
• 20:54
  there, somehow get in there, I'd be OK.
• 20:58
  Because I felt competing against the NFL guys when I was in the
• 21:01
  World League, I thought I might be able to get a shot at it,
• 21:04
  never thinking that I'd get that shot.
• 21:07
  And then what happened was there was a guy that was around the
• 21:10
  neighborhood and he he says, hey, I know the general manager
• 21:12
  and I told him about you and the general matter.
• 21:14
  Jim Murray knew me from my track days because he was a Villanova
• 21:18
  guy. We were big, you know, we're big
• 21:20
  rivals, Villanova and Saint Joe's.
• 21:23
  And he says, yeah, I'll put him on the list.
• 21:24
  But Coach Ramil didn't know I was on any list.
• 21:26
  I was, I just, I was just there. And once I had that tryout and
• 21:32
  after the and I ran the, I ran the 40, I ran a 4-5 in grass.
• 21:36
  So, you know, that's whatever it is.
• 21:38
  And and then he said we'll put him into the next drill.
• 21:41
  And the next drill was it was 7 on 7.
• 21:45
  But it was no, no different than the guys I was playing in the
• 21:47
  rough touch Lakes against. That was in the movie.
• 21:49
  I mean, it was just it was war. They always had an ambulance and
• 21:52
  a cop there at every game because somebody had been carted
• 21:55
  off the field and somebody would, you know, there'd be a
• 21:57
  fight. There was always a fight.
• 21:59
  And you know, it was that's that's the way it was.
• 22:02
  And then when I got that opportunity from coach from Hill
• 22:05
  and, and, and I finally got into training camp, I, I knew I
• 22:09
  belonged. I knew I belonged.
• 22:11
  And it was just a matter of, are they going to allow me to, to be
• 22:15
  there long enough to show them that I belong?
• 22:17
  And so the first, the first week was rookies and free agents.
• 22:22
  You know, that's how they do it. And so they're rookies and free
• 22:25
  agents. And Roman Gabriel was the
• 22:27
  quarterback there. And Gabe and I, when I signed a
• 22:30
  contract after the tryout for $21,000 in April, every day I
• 22:36
  went to the Veteran Stadium and I trained and I trained and I
• 22:39
  worked out with Roman Gabriel. And he got to know me a little
• 22:41
  bit, show me how to run routes, this, that and the other thing.
• 22:44
  So when we got to training camp in that first week, I'm
• 22:48
  catching, Jeez, I'm, you know, he's throwing the ball to me all
• 22:50
  the time and which was pretty cool.
• 22:53
  And I, you know, and like I said, I hit everything and
• 22:55
  moved. The second week though, the vets
• 22:56
  came in, I backed off because I was in such all, you know, I
• 23:00
  couldn't believe that I was on the same field, Billy Bradley or
• 23:04
  this guy or that guy, you know, and, and, and and and I
• 23:07
  couldn't, I couldn't get over that.
• 23:09
  That's why. Can you believe this?
• 23:11
  And so Ramir, coach Ramir came up to me and he says what
• 23:14
  happened to you? He said you're not the same guys
• 23:16
  last last week. And and I told him, I said, oh,
• 23:19
  I'm into all of all these guys. I can't get over the fact that
• 23:22
  I'm on the same field, woman. He said you're at all of them.
• 23:25
  He said they won two games last year out of 14.
• 23:27
  He said hip, I'm going to be gone.
• 23:29
  He said, Oh my ass. He said, get your head out of
• 23:32
  your butt or you're gone. He's stuck in your two weeks.
• 23:36
  And and so the first preseason game was against was against San
• 23:41
  Diego Chargers. And we're we're out there in San
• 23:44
  Diego and I'm wearing number 83 and I'm crying in the the
• 23:47
  national anthem And they said I was going to play the entire
• 23:50
  fourth quarter and I didn't get in until the 2nd.
• 23:53
  So after the 2 minute warning and I made two side adjustments,
• 23:57
  the audibles, you know, non non verbal audibles, you know, no
• 24:02
  checks or whatever and and two first downs and coach just put
• 24:07
  his nice job at power and and I just bought another two weeks.
• 24:10
  And then the next week is is against the Wingdon and I got a
• 24:13
  touchdown and had a couple catches and then the next week
• 24:15
  it's against whomever. And before you know it, here I
• 24:18
  am, I've got 6 touchdowns and 12 to 1012 catches and I'm leading
• 24:22
  the team and every season. And how's this happening?
• 24:26
  And but that's, you know, each, each week that in the enthusiasm
• 24:31
  and each week the fandom that I had behind me in the stands,
• 24:34
  every, every time I did anything, they'd be going crazy.
• 24:39
  It was nuts. And that's what that's what
• 24:42
  drove me and that's what kept me going.
• 24:44
  And then the last time, you know, talking about Rudy, Rudy,
• 24:48
  I like the kid Rudy all the time.
• 24:50
  I keep telling him that he was offsides, but he you know, you
• 24:56
  know, it's just it's just you got to get the shot and coach
• 25:00
  from you had a great saying, he says, and opportunities were to
• 25:03
  a person exactly what their preparation enables to make it.
• 25:07
  And you know, you got to be prepared.
• 25:08
  And when I get out and talk and you know, I've spoken all over
• 25:11
  the world for crying out loud, and that's one of my favorite
• 25:13
  quotes. The other one that he had was
• 25:15
  nobody ever drowned in sweat, which was I do all the time.
• 25:21
  Here's another one. You guys would love this one.
• 25:23
  Don't overload your mouth with your butt so or your butt
• 25:28
  forget. You know, I had too many hits to
• 25:29
  the head myself, but I. Might have to use that take.
• 25:33
  Yeah, that's a good one. So.
• 25:35
  But it is fun. And you know, I used to love
• 25:37
  going up to the Meadowlands. Oh my God, it was my favorite
• 25:40
  stadium. And I played in the miracle of
• 25:42
  the game, you know, with, with, with, with Herman.
• 25:44
  And, and that was what you know, but what I, I had a role and,
• 25:48
  and everybody in life, you know, is whatever your role is.
• 25:51
  And, and I, I didn't play much offense because we had Harold
• 25:54
  Carmichael for crying out. We had Charlie Smith and, and
• 25:58
  we, and we only had it like a two.
• 25:59
  We had, we had X&Z. We had a weak side and strong
• 26:02
  side receiver, tight end. We didn't put a slot in there.
• 26:05
  There were never four or five receivers on the field at any
• 26:07
  one time. The offense was very
• 26:09
  conservative. So my role was was I was a
• 26:12
  kamikaze guy. You know that was my nickname.
• 26:14
  You know kamikaze. That's your drink.
• 26:16
  Is that your drink too? Is that your drink too?
• 26:23
  Well, I'm down here. I, I sort of, I sort of worked
• 26:25
  my way into into to kill you. So I I have I I have but this is
• 26:34
  a 0 you know. But it takes like.
• 26:37
  Got to drink healthy. Now I was listening to you guys
• 26:40
  going with the NBA stuff and I was laughing my ass off back
• 26:44
  here and I've and then my refrigerator is right over here,
• 26:46
  you know. So I said what the heck, I'm not
• 26:48
  going to real. I'm going to do the real stuff.
• 26:49
  But you know, it is what he is. So there you.
• 26:53
  Go. So for all the fans out there,
• 26:54
  we were talking to former Eagles wide receiver Vince Papali,
• 26:58
  Invincible. You know the story.
• 27:01
  If you don't know the story, go and check it out.
• 27:03
  Mark Wahlberg plays him in the movie.
• 27:06
  It is a sensational movie. It's a great, great football
• 27:09
  movie. And, you know, it's so
• 27:10
  interesting because I look at Dick Vermeil, and Dick Vermeil
• 27:14
  always found those guys. Kurt Warner, another one.
• 27:17
  Underdog. Yeah, we know that story.
• 27:20
  American Underdog. They made a movie about it.
• 27:22
  And. The same guy said the production
• 27:24
  Mark Charity did, Miracle did Rookie did the new guy and he
• 27:28
  did he did Warners movie. And The thing is, is anybody
• 27:31
  that doesn't know the Kurt Warner story, I mean, this guy
• 27:34
  was trying. So he played in, played in the
• 27:37
  CFL, he played here, he played there.
• 27:39
  And, and this is a guy that was working in his family, was
• 27:43
  living in a, in a house that had no heat.
• 27:46
  And this guy was traveling with a truck that couldn't even
• 27:49
  really drive. And, and then he was working in
• 27:52
  a, a grocery store and he's throwing toilet paper and all
• 27:56
  that other stuff. And that's how we practiced when
• 27:59
  he wasn't on a football field. It is crazy.
• 28:01
  And Dick Vermeil, I, I don't think anybody understands who
• 28:03
  Dick Vermeil is. Dick Vermeil, what he found
• 28:06
  talent when the talent couldn't, couldn't find his their way on a
• 28:11
  football field or he just understood what he was looking
• 28:14
  for in a player. He wanted that.
• 28:16
  He wanted a guy that was going to work hard, go out there and
• 28:19
  play hard and do the right things, be a leader.
• 28:22
  And I think when I look at Kurt Warner, I look at you, Vince.
• 28:25
  Those those traits really came together and that's why I
• 28:30
  believe Kurt Warner became Kurt Warner an MVP Hall of Famer and,
• 28:35
  and really your story where it all began was because Dick
• 28:39
  Vermeil gave you an opportunity and.
• 28:40
  He trusted you. Yeah.
• 28:42
  And you know what? And, and when he believes you
• 28:44
  and when you become part of his family, you're always part of
• 28:46
  his family. And.
• 28:48
  And he did that. You know what he used to do,
• 28:49
  which was really cool? Every Thursday, he would have a
• 28:52
  steak dinner. And it was, I guess it was
• 28:54
  fluffy steak. He probably cooked right,
• 28:57
  pluffy. He would have a steak dinner on
• 29:00
  his hundred acre. I mean that log cabin house and,
• 29:05
  and, and what he did was, let's say he brings in the wide
• 29:08
  receiver. So it's me and Carmichael Chow a
• 29:10
  Weber and we go there. The rule was you couldn't talk
• 29:14
  about the Eagles football or anything else like that yet.
• 29:16
  Just talk about your life. And and he was a big Neil
• 29:19
  Diamond fan. So he'd have Neil Diamond going
• 29:21
  on in the background and he'd have a bottle of wine open there
• 29:24
  for us, you know, and, and we would talk and he would talk and
• 29:27
  we get to know each other. This is after he made the team.
• 29:30
  And then the next week he'd have the D backs and the next week
• 29:32
  and have this guy in that group. And at one time he had the
• 29:35
  captain through the team and it was Bill Burgie, me and Ron
• 29:39
  Jaworski to go to his house to have one of those dinners.
• 29:42
  And it was one of the most special things I've ever
• 29:45
  experienced. But, you know, it's the way he
• 29:47
  got to know that the guys he knows me, he was my my both my
• 29:51
  kids just got married that this past summer.
• 29:54
  And thank you and my daughter. I was expecting and Vinny's
• 29:59
  playing for the Olympics. He'll be in Dusseldorf coming up
• 30:03
  in a in a couple of months playing for Italy's flag
• 30:06
  football team. And but you know, coach Ramiro,
• 30:09
  he's there. He's he's there.
• 30:11
  He's been a part of me. He's been a part of our family
• 30:13
  and we love him together. And we'll, we'll never.
• 30:16
  And he's got a great wine man. He's a Calistoga guy and right
• 30:20
  right next to Napa and he's got, he's got a phenomenal red.
• 30:24
  So check it out. Yeah.
• 30:27
  Send us the name of that. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's Ramir
• 30:31
  wines, it's River wines. You can find it MDI that it's
• 30:34
  just that red blend is just great.
• 30:36
  And and, you know, he and he teamed up with a couple people
• 30:39
  in Napa, so he knows what he's doing.
• 30:41
  But you know what's great about that?
• 30:43
  He's a he's a renaissance man. He's a hunter.
• 30:45
  He's a mechanic. You know, he fixed his car as
• 30:48
  his father. He hit him, Coach Ramil, my
• 30:51
  father got along so well because my dad was a mechanic.
• 30:53
  He worked at Westinghouse and they got to know each other.
• 30:56
  And, you know, Dickwood could, he could repair the car, you
• 30:59
  know, when his, and he had race cars that he used to do and you
• 31:02
  know, he worked around the house.
• 31:04
  He didn't hire somebody they knew.
• 31:05
  It's like I, I do, I have AI live right off on our, on a golf
• 31:10
  course, not on a golf course, but in the golf community.
• 31:13
  And, and I, and I love, I, I just love being outside and, you
• 31:16
  know, and working. And, and that's, that's what
• 31:18
  Dick Lemire was. And he's so multifaceted and so
• 31:21
  talented. And that's what I'll tell you
• 31:23
  what, Doug Peterson, who won that Super Bowl for us a couple
• 31:27
  years ago, whom I know really well, it is right around the
• 31:30
  corner, actually. My wife saw them in his house.
• 31:32
  But Doug Peterson is so much like Dick for me.
• 31:34
  It's scary. And, you know, he's got those
• 31:37
  overall things and but but yet, you know, but he believes in
• 31:40
  people and he's and he's and he's nice to everybody.
• 31:43
  So it's pretty cool. You just, I love the coach.
• 31:45
  You just spoke about the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl that
• 31:48
  changed everything for the Philadelphia fans.
• 31:49
  And if anybody doesn't know me, I I'm a Jet fan, but I root on
• 31:54
  the Philadelphia Eagles as well because I grew up a Donovan
• 31:57
  McNabb fan. He's my favorite player.
• 31:59
  And it's funny because when I met you, Donovan.
• 32:04
  McNabb. Yes, I, Donovan McNab was
• 32:07
  running that party. He was the, the lead guy.
• 32:09
  He was the, the guy that was making a speech before the party
• 32:12
  and all that. And everybody was trying to go
• 32:13
  to Donovan McNabb. I bumped into you, Vince.
• 32:16
  I took a picture with you. We had a conversation for about
• 32:18
  5 minutes because everybody was like, Oh my God, it's the
• 32:20
  invincible guy. And I was like, I would leave
• 32:22
  this guy alone. I don't want to bother him.
• 32:24
  So Donovan didn't want to deal with anybody there.
• 32:26
  He, he had this big bouncer, this big guy.
• 32:29
  He was like one of those guys that, you know, Floyd Mayweather
• 32:33
  walks with those 6768 big behemoth guys and remember.
• 32:37
  Yeah. And he's pushing people away.
• 32:39
  And I'll never forget because I'm standing right over there
• 32:42
  and I scream out his numbers in Syracuse.
• 32:45
  And he turned around. He smirked at me.
• 32:46
  He's like, what do you know about Syracuse?
• 32:48
  And then he just comes over there and he starts talking to
• 32:51
  me for about 10 minutes. Everybody's trying to get Yeah,
• 32:53
  and, and. And Donovan, by the way, for
• 32:56
  anybody that doesn't know Donovan McNabb, that man is a
• 32:59
  big man. That's a, that's a big dude.
• 33:02
  I wouldn't say, I'm not saying as far as tall, but he is
• 33:06
  muscular. He's got arms the size of like
• 33:09
  your legs. It's unbelievable how big this
• 33:12
  guy is. And I love the guy and I just
• 33:14
  knew so much about him. So I understood, you know, his
• 33:17
  background and his past, and I want to go back to what the
• 33:21
  Eagles did against the New England Patriots.
• 33:24
  Nick Foles, That's another story.
• 33:26
  Oh, that's it. Well, that's 1:30.
• 33:27
  That's that's for, that's a 30 for 30.
• 33:29
  You know, my my daughter, by the way, went to Syracuse.
• 33:31
  She cheered for them. So that was that was always a
• 33:34
  nice. Yeah, that was pretty cool.
• 33:35
  That that the crazy story about Nick Foles and you talk about
• 33:39
  like guys that just completely was forgotten.
• 33:42
  This guy was fishing when their star quarterback, Carlson Carson
• 33:48
  Wentz, goes down. This guy had an MVP here.
• 33:50
  He should have won the MVP that year.
• 33:52
  It was. I remember the whole story.
• 33:55
  They call Nick Foles up. He's fishing with his father and
• 33:59
  his family and they tell him, we're going to sign you.
• 34:02
  We need you. We need you to get here as soon
• 34:03
  as you can. He takes over and has one of the
• 34:06
  greatest runs like the Joe Flacco, one of the greatest runs
• 34:09
  we've ever seen a quarterback have all the way to the Super
• 34:12
  Bowl. And yes, I thought Tom Brady's
• 34:15
  best game of his career was a game that he lost against the
• 34:18
  Philadelphia Eagles. He threw 500 yards.
• 34:21
  He was unbelievable in the game, but was Nick Foles.
• 34:24
  What he did in that game surprised and shocked the world.
• 34:27
  And that to me when people talk about just things that just pop
• 34:31
  out that you don't expect and a guy just shows up.
• 34:34
  Those are the stories like the Vince Popoli's, the Kurt
• 34:37
  Warner's, the guys that just somehow comes out, you know,
• 34:40
  through the back end and and stabs you, stabs you right in
• 34:43
  the that was one, I mean. It was a beauty.
• 34:48
  It's a it was a it's a great story.
• 34:50
  And they just said the the 30 for 30, you know that the Philly
• 34:53
  special Doug, Doug has a boat and the boats called the Philly
• 34:57
  special. You know, I mean, and he he's
• 34:59
  he's he's such the greatest guy. But you know, what's funny is
• 35:02
  what we were saying about any any athlete, you know, nothing.
• 35:05
  And this is it because I know that Don and, and, and I love
• 35:08
  him and he's, he's really great. But when I first started going
• 35:13
  out and doing speeches, I asked coach for meals for some advice
• 35:16
  and he said, just treat everybody you meet as if the
• 35:19
  most important person you'll ever be in your life.
• 35:22
  And I remember down there, we took the train, me, Danny Franks
• 35:25
  and a couple guys, we took the we call what we call the, the
• 35:28
  Tri rail. And we took that right down to
• 35:30
  Miami and had that party. And Jaws was there with Mike
• 35:33
  Ditka. They were, they were the hosts
• 35:35
  and and and and and and and of course, Donovan was the guy
• 35:39
  that, you know, the other Ditka and and Jaws.
• 35:41
  They just sort of get off on the sideline.
• 35:44
  But Donovan is the one that, you know, there it is.
• 35:47
  There's there's, there's a, there's Syracuse right there.
• 35:49
  That's that's Gabby. I know I noticed it.
• 35:51
  I noticed right in the corner. I noticed everything on your
• 35:53
  wall right now. I and then like I said, I, I
• 35:56
  grew up a Donovan McNabb fan. Everybody tells me how could you
• 35:59
  root on the Eagles when you're a Jet fan?
• 36:01
  I said it's very simple. The Jets suck and, and at least
• 36:04
  Donovan McNabb and the Eagles get into the playoffs.
• 36:07
  It was hard to watch The Jets as a Jet fan all these years, but I
• 36:11
  I root on my teams and and everybody asks me, Saquon
• 36:14
  Barkley, when Saquon Barkley got screwed by the Giants, I was
• 36:16
  loving it. I was loving it.
• 36:19
  What, what a deal was right? You know Joe Namath lives right
• 36:24
  around the corner. Really.
• 36:26
  Broadway, Joe. Yeah, and he's there.
• 36:29
  He is. He's a typical example.
• 36:31
  He's he's there. He has a place what they call
• 36:33
  Love, Love Love Park and it's on the intercoastal and there's,
• 36:37
  you know, 5 or 6 restaurants and beers and, and he's got one
• 36:40
  right there called the Lucky Shuck where you can get some
• 36:43
  really good stuff in case you're horny.
• 36:45
  And so you go there and you know, you don't have to go to a
• 36:58
  pharmacy to eat it. So anyway, Joe Joe would be
• 37:03
  there and just welcoming everybody.
• 37:05
  We'll see him at the Publix and, and he's got his compression
• 37:07
  socks on and he's just the greatest guy in the world.
• 37:11
  You know every Broadway Joe that he even knows who I am.
• 37:16
  So it blows my mind. So it's been a, it's been a wild
• 37:20
  ride. He's a wild person.
• 37:22
  I've done a lot of events with, with Joe and it's funny, I was
• 37:26
  looking for him. So everybody was running to him.
• 37:29
  So I'm walking out, I'm leaving every he's doing the interviews
• 37:32
  about concussions and I'm standing there with my friend.
• 37:35
  I'm like, I, I wanted to have a conversation with, with Joe and
• 37:37
  he, he's standing right there next to me and says, well, you
• 37:40
  can have a conversation with me now.
• 37:42
  I turn around, it's him. He's wearing a hat and he's
• 37:45
  trying to cover himself that nobody bothers him.
• 37:48
  It was so funny. And then we he's, he's AI love
• 37:53
  Joe Namath. I just feel like Joe Namath.
• 37:56
  And by the way, Joe Namath is going through a lot of stuff
• 37:58
  right now. I've I've heard that he has
• 38:00
  cancer. If I'm not mistaken.
• 38:01
  There's something going on with him.
• 38:03
  I, I, I'm not sure, but there was stuff going on and I hope
• 38:06
  everything is going well. With I did not I did not hear
• 38:09
  that. And you know what?
• 38:10
  I just rang the bell. A bell.
• 38:13
  I just I just rang the bell. I had prostate cancer.
• 38:16
  Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Well, no, I'm.
• 38:18
  I'm. You know they beat it.
• 38:21
  And and in 2001 I had colon cancer, so I've twice wow time
• 38:26
  and you know, so one of the things I like to do is go out
• 38:29
  and and talk about that. And you know, thank God for
• 38:32
  those people that support me, but I rang the bell on on the
• 38:36
  the 6th of March and it was the coolest thing.
• 38:39
  And, you know, to have my daughter there And, and Doug
• 38:42
  Peterson's wife, Doug was at traveling where, but it's his
• 38:45
  wife Jeannie's right there. My wife Janet, They're best of
• 38:47
  friends. It was the coolest thing in the
• 38:49
  world, so. They're saying right now it's
• 38:51
  false. It came out in May, so it now
• 38:54
  it's saying it was false information that he had cancer.
• 38:57
  So there. Was, well, I wouldn't be
• 38:59
  surprised because it was, it was shown, it was, it was on
• 39:02
  Facebook that I had passed that my obituary showed up on the on
• 39:07
  the on Facebook. I don't even go.
• 39:09
  That's stupid crap. I hate social media.
• 39:11
  I am forced by our manager, our PR guys and everybody.
• 39:15
  Oh, you got to go on Facebook. You got to go on Instagram.
• 39:17
  You got to. You got to put yourself out
• 39:19

• 39:21
  everybody know what you're doing.
• 39:23
  Q me and Errol and you gotta go attack each other and RIP each
• 39:26
  other apart. And I'm like sitting there.
• 39:28
  I wrote, I wrote my own eulogy, so you know, it's on Facebook
• 39:32
  somewhere. But here I am, you know,
• 39:40
  hormones and radiation and everything.
• 39:45
  Look at me. Look at me and Broadway Joe.
• 39:47
  Come on, Look at that. Look at us right there, Vince.
• 39:49
  That's me and I, I think that's, that's Broadway Joe.
• 39:52
  It could be you. I don't know.
• 39:54
  I mean, we look pretty sexy over there, man.
• 39:56
  I mean. I'm looking pretty good.
• 39:57
  I'm looking pretty good. Oh my goodness, show him again.
• 40:03
  Show him again. He's wearing his hat.
• 40:04
  Put your put your glasses on. Here it goes.
• 40:06
  But here we go. You can check it out right
• 40:08

• 40:10
  Look at that. Oh boy.
• 40:12
  Yeah. I'm looking like I tell you
• 40:14
  what, fluffy steaks. Fluffy steaks, bitch, you need
• 40:19
  your you need your wine to go with a nice steaks.
• 40:21
  The wine that connects with the fluffy steaks perfectly.
• 40:24
  Come on, guys, when you listen to this show, you got to you got
• 40:27
  to throw curveballs. And I like the fluffy steaks,
• 40:29
  man. They pluff and they fluff and
• 40:31
  they blow your house down and they might blow something else
• 40:34
  down. Well, let's stay away from Joe
• 40:35
  Namitz's place because we'd be blowing something else, right?
• 40:38
  Speedy will be blowing something.
• 40:41
  That's one thing I, I, I, I, I believe in you.
• 40:43
  There's too much, there's too much electronics in sports right
• 40:47
  now, you know, and get and you know whether in, in the game,
• 40:50
  you know, then in hockey, we're watching the, you know, so we
• 40:52
  got to, we got to take a look and see if that really was a
• 40:55
  trip. You know what officials are
• 40:57
  going to make mistakes. Players are going to make a
• 40:58
  mistake. You know, the officials, they
• 41:00
  can get that, that they can get theirs remediated right there.
• 41:04
  But a player out there, he could have screwed up something that
• 41:06
  could have cost somebody a game. He doesn't get the opportunity
• 41:09
  to do it again, you know, because it was showed that, you
• 41:13
  know, should have done it this way and said it that way.
• 41:15
  And you know what? You see it in football.
• 41:17
  I mean, it's it's, it's ridiculous.
• 41:19
  Just let them make mistakes and play the God damn game, for
• 41:23
  crying out loud. It's making me nuts.
• 41:24
  You heard it, ladies and gentlemen, Vince Pappali says
• 41:27
  play that God damn game. I think playing the God damn
• 41:30
  game. I watch hockey, I watch
• 41:32
  basketball. I watch all these guys.
• 41:34
  They're they're good. They're good for nothing.
• 41:35
  They make millions of it. You just said you made 21,
• 41:38
  $1000. Your contract was 21,000.
• 41:41
  You got Dak Prescott making 60 million a year.
• 41:44
  He's out every throw that he so they're they're his average
• 41:47
  throw. Every time he throws a ball, he
• 41:49
  makes 50 thousand, 50,000. Every single throw he throws,
• 41:53
  every single game is $50,000. Think about it.
• 41:58
  Keep that arm, keep that arm good 50,000.
• 42:02
  It is what it is. I'll never regret what I got.
• 42:05
  And you know what I earned? I think I earned every penny of
• 42:09
  it. So whatever.
• 42:13
  Yeah, hey, it is what it is. Wasn't about money.
• 42:16
  I would have, you know, I would have said I I played.
• 42:19
  There's a great book out there called Playing for Pizza.
• 42:22
  You know, I paid for a six pack and semi pro ball.
• 42:24
  I mean, I literally did. And after the game was over,
• 42:27
  there would be someone sitting right there in my in my locker
• 42:30
  with a pair of Adele's pair of Adele's and that was it because
• 42:33
  I couldn't afford it. You know, I was teaching school
• 42:36
  and it was, it was great. You know, so it is what it is.
• 42:39
  But now, you know, with with the football and now the other
• 42:41
  sports are picking it up and they're going off now to the
• 42:44
  streaming networks and they're taking the game away from kids
• 42:48
  and and others and families who can't afford their to be in.
• 42:52
  You know, be lucky as I am and say I have YouTube or whatever.
• 42:56
  You know, the first, the last thing I did before I came out
• 42:58
  here was I checked check to see on YouTube and see what I'm
• 43:01
  going to be watching the night after after it's all over.
• 43:04
  I'll probably watch a hockey game for that over.
• 43:06
  You know, Vince, it's, it's interesting because if you know
• 43:09
  this story from our show and what we started over the years,
• 43:13
  we've always looked at, you know, there's all these other
• 43:15
  shows and we were a digital profile show that really started
• 43:20
  1213 years ago and we were on Periscope.
• 43:22
  We were the first show that ever aired on Periscope.
• 43:25
  Then ESPN started doing CBS Sports radio.
• 43:27
  Everybody started doing and copycatting us, me and my
• 43:30
  partner Mike, We, we really took it to another level.
• 43:33
  And then it kind of spread and, and all that other stuff.
• 43:35
  And now you look at all these shows, they're making all this
• 43:37
  money. And mostly I'm, I'm just being
• 43:40
  honest, a lot of these shows are just horrible.
• 43:42
  You have athletes going out there.
• 43:43
  They think it could speak on a mic.
• 43:45
  They think they know what they're talking about and they
• 43:47
  think they can speak about this and speak about that.
• 43:48
  And then there's there's there's other people that think, oh, I'm
• 43:52
  friends with this guy. So I'm going to do a show with
• 43:54
  this guy and I'm going to spit out whatever I want about
• 43:57
  basketball, even though we know nothing about basketball.
• 44:00
  And I'm listening to them. I'm like, what the hell are you
• 44:03
  talking about? I don't even understand you.
• 44:05
  I mean, do you speak English? Do you know basketball English
• 44:07
  or you just, you know, Spanish and you're trying to throw
• 44:10
  something that's going to stick. That's the problem right now in
• 44:12
  the media world, what you're saying social media, everybody
• 44:15
  uses everybody tries to do this and they go out there and they
• 44:19
  think, hey, easy, I'm going to do it because this guy's doing
• 44:22
  it. I could speak on a mic.
• 44:23
  I can entertain people. I can wipe my ass on a show.
• 44:26
  I mean, somebody spitting on the ground and there's 30,000 people
• 44:29
  on YouTube or following him. Think about that spitting on the
• 44:33
  ground. He's all over the place and he
• 44:35
  spits on the ground, spits on the Empire State Building, spits
• 44:38
  on this goes to the I mean it's, it's ridiculous.
• 44:41
  And you, you wonder like, what do people really want to watch?
• 44:45
  Like, is this interesting? People dancing on TikTok doing
• 44:48
  their duty, their, their stupid little crazy, stupid dances.
• 44:51
  I mean, it's, it's ridiculous. It doesn't make any sense to me.
• 44:54
  But when you played, you couldn't watch every game.
• 44:57
  You couldn't go if if, if you weren't living in Philadelphia,
• 44:59
  you couldn't watch a Philadelphia Eagle game.
• 45:02
  The game had to be sold out at first of all, you know, first of
• 45:05
  all, we didn't have cable right, you know, and then that came in,
• 45:08
  you know, with with Spectrum cable, whatever they had.
• 45:11
  And but, you know, we had the back in the day, we had the
• 45:14
  black and white with the antennas and, you know, you had
• 45:17
  you had to walk up and turn the dial.
• 45:20
  That was the dad sitting back there drinking his Schmidt
• 45:23
  Schlitzer Schaefer, you know, there change the town, you know,
• 45:27
  But you know, nothing was better than Friday night fights in
• 45:30
  black and white TV. You know, and they asked my dad
• 45:33
  if I could have a sip of beer. I mean, to me that was living,
• 45:38
  living in a housing project for crying out loud, that my house
• 45:42
  wasn't as big as the garage I have here down in Florida.
• 45:46
  I never drank, but The funny thing I used to do when I was
• 45:49
  around my father is my father used to smoke and I was a kid.
• 45:52
  I was five years old and my father, he had an ashtray.
• 45:55
  So he walked, he went to the bathroom and I'm seeing that I'm
• 45:57
  like, I wonder how it is to smoke a cigarette.
• 46:00
  Like I want to be cool like my dad.
• 46:01
  So I pick up the cigarette and I, I just puff on it.
• 46:05
  I started choking. It came like out of my ears.
• 46:08
  Like it just the smoke actually came out of my ears.
• 46:11
  And my father comes out of the bathroom and he sees me coughing
• 46:14
  and says, serves you're right. He says, I guarantee you'll
• 46:17
  never, you'll never smoke again, you know?
• 46:19
  And he was right. I never smoked a cigarette again
• 46:22
  after that. True story, True story on me.
• 46:25
  I was five years old. And I said, hey, it's cool.
• 46:28
  Everybody looks at cigarettes. Everybody smokes and hanging out
• 46:30
  with their friends. I want to smoke a cigarette.
• 46:32
  Oh, you want to smoke a joint? Let's smoke a joint.
• 46:34
  It looks good. And then they they realize that
• 46:37
  after the fact, they do it all. They're all paranoid.
• 46:39
  Oh, my God, stay away from me. I don't want to.
• 46:41
  The cops are after me and they're running and hiding in
• 46:44
  their closet. I mean, people are nuts and
• 46:46
  people are nuts and and that's what this show is all about.
• 46:50
  Vince Nathan, I'm sure told you a little bit about us.
• 46:53
  The one thing I could say about us is we're real dudes.
• 46:57
  We go out there, we entertain you people and and all the fans
• 47:00
  out there, we want them to see us for what we are.
• 47:03
  We we're knowledgeable guys, but we want to entertain people.
• 47:05
  You don't want to sit here and bore people when they're
• 47:07
  watching us and say, Oh my God, Vince Pappali, we see him on
• 47:10
  every single show. Who cares?
• 47:12
  I'm having no no. No, I don't have an agent.
• 47:16
  My agent's living. She's she's, she's out there
• 47:18
  reading a book or, or doing whatever.
• 47:21
  If, and, you know, and, and morning Toast, you know, Mr.
• 47:24
  Toast is our owner's granddaughter.
• 47:27
  And if it's a good friend of hers, one for him, you know, I
• 47:29
  wouldn't be here talking to you guys.
• 47:31
  So it all worked with him, you know, because he made a phone
• 47:34
  call and already made a text and, and it's pretty cool.
• 47:37
  I will tell you something about Niffen.
• 47:39
  Niffen is one of those guys. He is so the funny story is, is
• 47:44
  Nathan, before he started doing media, he he watched my show and
• 47:47
  he became a fan of my show. He reached out to me and he
• 47:50
  says, well, how do you, you know, how do you do this?
• 47:52
  And I said, I gave him some advice and, and, and all that
• 47:54
  other stuff. And Nathan started to do it
• 47:56
  himself. And then he went out on his own
• 47:58
  and, and I told Nathan, you know what?
• 48:00
  You're great. The, the, the greatest thing
• 48:02
  about you is that you will go out there and you will talk to
• 48:06
  everybody. You will have No Fear to go up
• 48:08
  to people and speak to people and interact with people.
• 48:12
  And that's something that IA lot of people can't do in this
• 48:14
  world. I, I, people are afraid they're
• 48:17
  oh, oh, that's Vince Papali. Oh, oh, that's, that's, Oh my
• 48:20
  God, that's all Wayne Gretzky. You know, IA funny story about
• 48:23
  Wayne Gretzky. The first time I met Wayne
• 48:25
  Gretzky was at a draft and I really had to go to the bathroom
• 48:28
  and he, he called out the Edmonton Oilers draft pick.
• 48:32
  And we're, there's an elevator right by the stage and I'm
• 48:34
  standing right on the stage going down to, to the media room
• 48:38
  so I can interview Wayne Gretzky.
• 48:39
  And I was very sick. I ate something on the table and
• 48:43
  I, I, I let one go, OK in the elevator.
• 48:46
  True story. And Wayne Gretzky looks at the
• 48:49
  kid that was drafted by Edmonton and he looked at him and he did
• 48:52
  this. And all of a sudden he looked at
• 48:54
  me. He pointed at me and I turned
• 48:55
  around. I said it was me.
• 48:57
  I'm sorry, Wayne, I have to go to the bathroom.
• 49:00
  I got stuck in the elevator. And he looked at me.
• 49:03
  He said, could you, you do it when the doors open?
• 49:05
  I mean, seriously, man, that was the first time I met Wayne
• 49:09
  Gretzky. Funny story is the next time I
• 49:12
  met Wayne Gretzky was at a hockey game and he remembered
• 49:15
  exactly who I was. So your true story is, is that's
• 49:19
  How I Met Wayne Gretzky. I I beefed in the.
• 49:21
  Elevator, you mean, you mean Dwayne?
• 49:23
  Jet ski? That commercial was.
• 49:25
  Yeah, that that is so funny. I love it.
• 49:28
  Hey. Well, listen, guys, I'm going
• 49:29
  to, I'm going to have to wrap it up, but I can, I leave you with
• 49:32
  something that it was given to me.
• 49:35
  And, and you know, for everybody out there and especially your
• 49:38
  fandom, and you know, if you have that, that impossible dream
• 49:41
  and a lot of people are going to, you know, your naysayers
• 49:43
  going to be there. And there's a lot of it all
• 49:45
  comes down to jealousy or, or, or an aptitude or people don't
• 49:49
  have the guts to do what you're trying to do.
• 49:51
  And when I, when I was going to try to do it and, and when I was
• 49:54
  growing up and in high school, my mother was institutionalized
• 49:58
  and, and my high school coach, I didn't know it at the time, his
• 50:02
  mother was institutionalized, but there was that bond between
• 50:05
  US and neither one of us. I didn't know anything about
• 50:07
  him. He knew about my mom.
• 50:09
  But what he was the first guy I went to when I went when I got
• 50:13
  invited to that tryout and again, the different meal didn't
• 50:17
  know the he got to know me after I ran the 40 yard dash and that
• 50:20
  was it for that. But I went to my coach corner
• 50:24
  and I said, what do you think? And he and he just says, Are you
• 50:27
  ready? And I said, yeah, I'm ready.
• 50:28
  He says, let me give you this quote said happier.
• 50:30
  Those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make
• 50:33
  their dreams come true. And every day is a victory.
• 50:36
  And I know that now because as a as a cancer survivor, you know,
• 50:40
  you win the day. But you know what the question
• 50:42
  is, you know, you can dream all you want and you could be a
• 50:46
  poser, but if you don't have the hustle, if you don't have the
• 50:49
  grit and and you don't want to make the sacrifices have to be
• 50:52
  made, the prices that have to be paid, forget about it because
• 50:56
  you're not you're not only fooling yourself or the people
• 50:59
  around you are going to know that the real story.
• 51:01
  So you know, happier, those willing to pay the price.
• 51:04
  And we've all paid the price. Every one of you guys here to
• 51:08
  get to where you got did that and it didn't come easy.
• 51:11
  And you know that's. So, so, so you know, we are a
• 51:15
  top 100 show. We've been a top 100 show for
• 51:18
  the last two months in the country.
• 51:20
  We're under football shows on Spotify and Apple.
• 51:22
  We've been as high as 30th. And we're not even on a major
• 51:26
  network. So what we're doing right now is
• 51:29
  a lot of people are probably seeing and they're like Spotify
• 51:32
  and Apple, Like we're, we're beating guys that are right now
• 51:35
  #1 on the main lines of New York and all over the country.
• 51:41
  And we're kicking the you know what out of them.
• 51:43
  And, and the one thing I could say about this is you got to
• 51:46
  work hard. You got to believe in yourself
• 51:47
  and you got to understand that you got.
• 51:48
  To and that's a great, great point.
• 51:50
  You got to believe in yourself and it's always nice to have
• 51:53
  people around you to believe in you as well.
• 51:55
  And I and I had that and then I was saying earlier, you know,
• 51:59
  the fans report that I got every time I caught a pass and you
• 52:04
  know, and I still get it, you know, I don't buy, I don't buy
• 52:06
  too many beers in Philadelphia. I'll tell you that.
• 52:10
  Not many Fleet Philly cheese steaks either, right?
• 52:13
  Oh, man, I'll tell you what, I go to a mall.
• 52:14
  They're all good, you know, 1, you know, I'm not going to
• 52:17
  choose one over the other. It's just they're all just so
• 52:20
  good, you know, just cut that. But it's not a it's not a puffy,
• 52:23
  you know, they they choose. Well done.
• 52:26
  Well, I'm glad you'll. Remember, you got to give us
• 52:28
  word. You got to give us word.
• 52:29
  Where's the place to go? You.
• 52:31
  Got to give. I would.
• 52:31
  If you want to really have a fun time is is either go to Patch or
• 52:35
  Gino's. It's on Passchunk Ave.
• 52:37
  They're right across the street from each other and one thick 11
• 52:41
  steak is a little bit thicker than the other, but they're both
• 52:43
  phenomenal. They're puffy.
• 52:45
  And you know, I won't choose one over the other, but I would
• 52:48
  choose those two there. I mean, there's others steak
• 52:50
  places, there's gyms right around the corner.
• 52:52
  I have a, I have a house in Philadelphia that was built back
• 52:55
  in the 1850s, for crying out loud.
• 52:57
  It's pretty cool, you know, And it's in, it's a historic area
• 53:00
  and there's this one place right around the corner from us called
• 53:03
  Jim's that they say is the best in Philadelphia.
• 53:06
  So, but if you want to go and get some really great Italian
• 53:10
  food in Philly, go down to 7th and 7th and Passyunk and go to
• 53:15
  go to the Saloon. The Saloon.
• 53:19
  Saloon, that's not and that's no shop that Joe, you know, runs
• 53:23
  either, right the. Saloon.
• 53:24
  So next time I go in, yeah, the saloon, it's, it's pretty good.
• 53:27
  Great to be with you guys. Appreciate you for coming home
• 53:31
  man. Yeah, man.
• 53:32
  We got to get you on again. We'd love for you to come on
• 53:34
  whenever you have. A chance today, baby.
• 53:36
  Every day is a victory. Let's go, birds say yeah.
• 53:40
  Mr. Invincible, ladies and gentlemen, Vince Papali.
• 53:44
  Fantastic. I want to apologize to you guys
• 53:46
  because I, you know, it's fun, funny about Vince and I don't
• 53:50
  think anybody understands is I got a chance to talk to Vince,
• 53:54
  but everybody was like on top of him at the Super Bowl, at that
• 53:58
  smoking, you know, event. And it, it, it's funny because
• 54:03
  the, the only people that really knew him was the kids and, and
• 54:06
  the grown-ups are like, who the hell is that?
• 54:08
  You know, but the kids know the, the story, the movies.
• 54:11
  However, Vince came in with his green jacket and his, you know,
• 54:15
  his green tie and everybody. And then Donovan McNabb didn't
• 54:18
  want to talk to anybody. He didn't want to speak to
• 54:21
  nobody. And Mike Ditka, he was like
• 54:23
  really, really bad. I mean, I, I've met Mike a
• 54:26
  couple of times, but he couldn't even really walk.
• 54:29
  So it, it was crazy. And I love my Dick.
• 54:33
  I love, I love Vince Papali is a guy that I I look up to because
• 54:37
  of the story behind the story. And anybody out there that
• 54:41
  understands what it is to work hard to get to where you want.
• 54:44
  That's the kind of story, the Kurt Warner story.
• 54:46
  The guys that work their asses off and believe in themselves
• 54:50
  and they believe that they can go out there and play at a high
• 54:52
  level. And, and that's what we do.
• 54:54
  And anybody that's listening to the show right now, anybody that
• 54:57
  doesn't know who we are and, and what we do, what we do
• 55:01
  differently than everybody else is we bring a different kind of
• 55:04
  content to the world. And, and it's sports related,
• 55:08
  it's funny, it's comedy, it's crazy, but we know what we're
• 55:11
  talking about. And I, I love my fluffy steaks.
• 55:13
  So listen, if you don't understand it, I've got names.
• 55:17
  I've got ways of proving ourselves to everybody.
• 55:20
  Quinton Couples has been a fan of the show.
• 55:22
  He was, he worked on a show before he came on the show and
• 55:25
  became something to our show. And now look at him.
• 55:28
  He's working and he he's part of it, the brand of what we do
• 55:32
  here. So I everybody understands what
• 55:35
  we do and how hard we work. So thank you to Vince Papali.
• 55:38
  Sensational was a great interview.
• 55:40
  Thank you to Nathan for landing that and helping us out there.
• 55:44

  Nice. Nice shot.
• 58:53

• 59:00
  Because they don't have tongues in the.
• 59:02

  doing itself. I It's got a mind of its own.
• 59:07

• 59:10
  You've said on many occasions on this show that you know ball and
• 59:12
  this is your. Greatest.
• 59:14
  Justification of it almost 700 points is definitely one of the
• 59:17
  highest Savior tears total I think we ever had and that was
• 59:20
  including during football season and that was a very impressive
• 59:24
  showcase you that had you were the Deuce McBride of Savior
• 59:28
  tears, one of those types of. Performances.
• 59:30
  One of those amazing New York Knicks performances that was the
• 59:33
  This was a Savior Tears equivalent of it.
• 59:34
  The utmost domination at its finest.
• 59:37
  You definitely showed you no balls in this.
• 59:40
  Only the third time. The second time you've ever
• 59:43
  played Savior Tears is a very impressive, very good victory
• 59:47
  for someone who knows ball. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 59:49
  I'm sorry. Speedy.
• 59:50
  Earl, can you? Can you relax?

  I'm not doing anything. I'm.
• 59:53
  Just standing in his case and you want to sit here and keep.
• 59:57
  Touching I'm not doing anything. Speedy finished his case as you
• 1:00:01
  were. And for somebody, and for
• 1:00:03
  somebody that knows ball, you enjoy a lot bigger, bigger than
• 1:00:06
  the highest quality of fluffy steaks tonight.
• 1:00:10
  OK. Appreciate that.
• 1:00:11
  I appreciate. I'm not encouraging on
• 1:00:14

  Errol Marxist turn the bronze medalist.
• 1:00:25
  How do? I meet up, please, everybody
• 1:00:27
  meet up, please, so we can make sure we hear this.
• 1:00:31
  Can't wait. All right.
• 1:00:35
  Too, even though you know nothing about basketball, OK,
• 1:00:39
  you know your football, You know that you have an understanding.
• 1:00:43
  You're you're very good guesser and that that says a lot about
• 1:00:46
  you. But you've been a good teammate.
• 1:00:48
  I'm not going to lie. Ever since we started talking,
• 1:00:50
  we've built a good relationship. We both understand each other
• 1:00:54
  very, very well. I think you know my personality.
• 1:00:57
  I know your personality. I'm a little crazy.
• 1:01:00
  You're a little bit absorbed or fluffy in your own little way.
• 1:01:04
  I had to use that word. But I, I, I respect you as a
• 1:01:07
  person. We've become really close
• 1:01:09
  because of that. And I, again, it's cool hanging
• 1:01:13
  out with you on the show. Sometimes you piss me off too
• 1:01:16
  much and you get me all heated, but nevertheless, you're a good
• 1:01:22
  dude and happy that you're with the team. 53 That was kind of
• 1:01:27
  sort of a cop out, like he made it about me, his relationship,
• 1:01:32
  and not about me, Noah. Finkel is on.
• 1:01:35
  Your I'm gonna go to the, I'm gonna go to the board on it, but
• 1:01:37
  I want to know, do you think that was acceptable guys, or am
• 1:01:42
  I missing something? He tastes himself.
• 1:01:48
  This. Is why it was 51% positive.
• 1:01:52
  That was good. That was OK, he talked about.
• 1:01:58
  As long as she's using. Well, I'm not going to give you
• 1:02:01
  any. I'm not going to give you any
• 1:02:02
  compliments of what you know about basketball because you
• 1:02:05
  don't know crap, just because you're playing a game, just
• 1:02:08
  because you're playing in a game and you get lucky.
• 1:02:11
  I mean, come on, Luck. It's all luck, dude.
• 1:02:14
  That's all it is. When you're betting on sports,
• 1:02:17
  it's luck. And.
• 1:02:18
  What happens to being so positive?
• 1:02:20
  This is the compliment course. Finish off the compliment course

  center Greg Oden and also his director Richie Comptum.

  I'll get that pronunciation from Nathan.

  It's one of his guys. They both will be joining at the
• 1:05:03
  same time. Yeah, I've never interviewed
• 1:05:05
  Greg Oden. A lot of people think he's one
• 1:05:08
  of the biggest busts in NBA history.
• 1:05:10
  That's because of injury. Unfortunately, he had a really
• 1:05:14
  bad foot problem when he came into the NBA.
• 1:05:16
  If anybody knows the story. So love to hear what Greg Oden
• 1:05:19
  is doing. I guess he's doing a documentary
• 1:05:21
  or a movie. So interesting.
• 1:05:24
  Greg is a guy that I'm I'm rooting for.

  I know he's had a rough, rough 10 years as we all know, but I'm
• 1:05:32
  interested to hear what he has to say about his his, his past
