Back for another jock to jock podcast here on rock 108 featuring my guests, the punter for the Iowa football team, Tory Taylor.
Tory, how are you feeling today?
I'm great Brian.
Thanks very much for having me on again.
I look forward to discussing all that's happened in the last week and moving forward as well.
But thanks again for having me on.
So I'm going to recap from the last episode.
You had told me about VB and VB.
I took a look online.
because I was really interested and wanted to try it out.
I have some good news.
I have some bad news.
Good news is I was able to get onto the site.
There's tons of things that I can wear.
The bad news is they don't ship to the States.
I thought that might be the case.
That's why it's
exclusive.
Yeah, it's quite exclusive over there.
Yeah, there you go.
You're going to have to go out there yourself to try it if you really want
to.
Have you had a VB shaving kit?
Because I saw that that was available on their site.
Have you heard of this?
No.
No,
no, I have not.
But there you
go.
I mean, a men's grooming kit with all of the accoutrements that go along with it.
And I thought, hey, wait a second, do I want to drink VB and then shave myself?
I don't know if that's a good idea.
Maybe it depends on the individual, I think.
So your family is in town.
How has it been so far?
Yeah, it's been great.
I picked them up Thursday before the Iowa State game.
And yeah, just really great to see them.
um yeah my parents and grandparents and little brother came and i picked up my brother and his girlfriend the following day and yeah they experienced a whole tailgating scene on the saturday um which they loved a lot and then yeah they they loved the game regardless of the result um yeah they they loved it it was kind of a shame that it rained because that was the first time that it ever rained since i got here or in in terms of playing in a game so yeah that that last quarter wasn't
wasn't the most enjoyable from a weather point of view.
But
yeah,
they really loved the atmosphere.
And based on what they've told me, everyone, all the Hawkeye fans, it seemed to love them and gave them a lot of attention, which I'm sure my mom and little brother just loved.
I saw that your family was becoming almost celebrities, as it were.
And yeah, so I've heard.
Did they share any stories or anything wild that the Hawkeye fans did?
I mean, I'm sure everybody offered them a beer at least once, twice.
Yeah, that.
Yeah, just photos and things like that.
I'm kind of glad I wasn't there to experience that because it'd be a little bit awkward, but yeah, good for them.
So what have you guys been doing?
I mean, I don't want to dig into much of the family side, but what have you guys experienced before in Iowa City?
Conor is hanging out.
They've obviously looked around the university and looked around Iowa City.
They went to Minneapolis a couple of days ago.
I couldn't go with them, unfortunately.
No, it's been great having them here, especially.
It was awesome.
I'm having them there on game day as well.
That was pretty special for all of us.
So you get your first bite of Australian chocolate in quite some time.
How did you feel?
Yes.
Oh,
unbelievable.
Yeah, mom bought me too much stuff, actually.
Oh, really?
I'm
going to be, yeah, I'm going to be, I'm going to be fat.
I'm going to be running out there with a bit of a belly if I'm not careful, but no, that's all right.
It was there.
It was certainly good to missed a lot of that stuff.
So certainly good to consume.
Um, some licorice and chocolate and things like that.
You're going to have to ration this stuff out so that you don't eat it all and, you know, this season.
Yeah.
I won't be rationing it out to anyone else, but yes, I'm going to have to ration out my, for my own, um, doing, to be honest, cause yeah.
It's, uh, pretty, pretty easy to, um, get a little bit fat old suppose with all the sugar and things like that.
So yeah, I've got to space it out and I can't, we just smash in a pack of the day like I would back home.
Yeah.
So let's talk about the Iowa state game.
He said it was a little tough.
Um, we had kind of talked a little bit about weather, but you said it was going to be fine.
And then here we had, and then you're like probably in the back of your head going, oh man, here we go.
So yeah, it's funny to say that cause kind of all weeks had kind of set off 40, like 30, 40% chance of rain, like later in the evening.
And I was like, okay, look, hopefully we're done by then.
But then as we got closer to the, to the day,
and closer to kickoff it was like a 90% chance of rain at six o'clock and I was like uh like three hours might be like late in the last quarter and hopefully the game's over but yeah then there was that last minute field goal I'll be long if I said that I wasn't nervous because it was absolutely pelting down like it was crazy weather again like I said before the first time I'd experienced rain and playing in um playing in those conditions
So that was another learning opportunity, but I feel like we'll just do what we could and that's all that matters.
Did they teach you when you were with Mr. Chapman?
Did they teach you about place-holding?
A little bit.
It's kind of hard to simulate it without a long snapper.
So there were no long snappers or anything like that.
We were just on the hand, toss it to one another.
But yeah, they did.
But it's really, once you kind of get over here,
And there's a snap-hold kick.
It's just a whole different aspect to it.
So, yeah, I hadn't really fully learned until I got here.
But you do learn when you're back home.
Have you heard the term
laces out?
Yes, no.
We're very particular about that in the special stream.
Very particular.
I mean, obviously leading up to the game, it's big hype.
The state's going crazy.
The stadium's going crazy.
And then to have the game kind of trudge along like it did.
Does that start to kind of weigh on you a little bit and weigh on the team as a whole, or is that just getting you more psyched up?
That's kind of an interesting question.
That's probably to ask someone, maybe like Jack Campbell or someone who's running out there and bashing heads, to be honest, because I'm kind of just sitting on the sideline, just trying to be as relaxed as I can, because that's what helps me.
But yeah, it was a weird game.
We kind of scored what in the first few minutes of the game, really.
and then didn't score since then.
So it was kind of a weird game.
They kicked the field goal and then they didn't score for a long time.
So it was a really strange game.
It was a lot different to last year where it was kind of a lot higher scoring.
What was that?
45, 50 point score last year.
So there was at least four or five touchdowns from what I've been remember last year.
But yeah, it was a weird feeling and a weird game.
Um, it was just yeah, it was a strange atmosphere.
It was it was dark towards the end of the game It was dark.
It was raining a lot of people have left all respect to our state They um, yeah, they would just played one or not more than us.
Well, I wouldn't say one or more than us But just played better than us.
Nevada's coming up.
How do you feel about your chances with them?
I mean, it's every every game I don't want to say a cliche or anything like that But every game is hard and every game you can't really predict what's gonna happen And if you think that you can predict then well
first and foremost, you're just an idiot and you're delusional because no one can predict the future.
So yeah, I'm sure they're going to have some plays that we've never seen before and they're going to show us some stuff that no one's ever seen before.
So yeah, they're going to bring a lot of challenges and problems for us and we'll just have to make sure that we sort it out as quickly as possible and score more points in them in simple terms.
Is that how that game works?
Yeah.
Since our last conversation and with the Count the Kicks program, have you had any more feedback on what's going on with that particular program?
Yeah, I have actually.
So Reagan actually designed this T-shirt that said, I cheer for the punter.
And that's kind of really taken off this year as well.
And there's been a couple of different color designs and colorways in the punting is winning T-shirt.
So I think since the commencement of it last year, we've raised over $20,000.
Um, and then yeah, obviously just on a 16,000 dollars from every kick count.
So, uh, like I said last week, I haven't been 50,000 more than the year.
Um, if we hit it, that's great.
If we don't, then yeah, again, really thankful for everyone going out there and purchasing a t-shirt cause it's gone to a good cause.
The, one of the big things I wanted to talk about, and I sent you an email that had some audio from a gentleman in Melbourne who saw a couple on a public transit bus.
getting intimate on the bus.
And as
a part of the Marshall Exchange program, I figure I'd have to write some public transportation every once in a while.
But in case I would need to have to do that, first off, what did you think of the piece of the audio?
Well first and foremost when you sent me that I Had never heard or seen or anything like that anywhere So I was like how how's this guy Brian found this but whatever Yeah, it's a little bit disturbing isn't it?
I'm sure this guy just wanted to go from point A to point B in his experience something that he probably Didn't want to experience but yeah, I think what I love do you
He let his voice be heard and he told them pretty directly that he didn't want that sort of rubbish happening on the bus.
So yeah, well, I don't see him just sticking up for himself and I agree.
No one really wants to be saying that.
Fair statement.
And that wasn't actually the reason I sent it because I thought it's a part of the Marshall Exchange program.
I'm sure there's some words or phrases that you utilize at home that can really get a point across to somebody.
And I'm wondering if there's anything that you can teach me.
that would help me in that same situation because there's some stuff you used in there that may be not safe for work, but there's maybe something else you could teach me.
It's kind of hard because we're obviously on radio now and I don't want to use any derogatory language.
Yeah, sometimes I feel like as bad as this might sound, derogatory language, there's a little bit of emphasis to it.
Um, but yeah, I don't know how I personally you send me that and I personally I don't know how I would go about probably Yeah, I'd have to do something similar to what Hayden just realized.
Yeah WTF.
What are you doing?
Yeah,
you can't be doing that shit on here But yeah It's probably one of those things you don't really know until you're in the moment I suppose
right did he sound like some people you knew back at home
No, okay
Yeah, not really.
He sounds like someone we would... Yeah, you would kind of... I wouldn't say the rough parts of Melbourne or Victoria or anything like that, but you kind of know what I mean.
That's where that stuff kind of happens anyway, to be honest.
Anything else that you can recommend based upon this Marshall Exchange program on this episode?
You definitely got to go experience some coffee from different cafes and things like that.
I'll write that down for next time.
Seafood as well.
You got to have seafood.
Because here's the thing, people might talk about seafood here.
But I mean, come on, we're in the middle of the country.
It can't be that special.
Whereas Australia, I don't want to talk about Australia and say Australia is better than here or anything like that because I'm not like that at all.
But when it comes to coffee and seafood, I'm very familiar about this.
And I feel like seafood, it kind of makes sense, doesn't it?
I mean, back home in Australia on the coast, and my dad's got a, my dad's actually got a rule that he doesn't have seafood if he's further away, if he's 100 kilometers away from the coast.
So what's that, about 60 miles or so?
Yeah,
interesting.
If
he's more than 60 miles from the coast, he won't have seafood.
Because how far inland are you guys your house versus the coast?
Oh, I can see the beach from my bathroom window.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, so It's probably like a It's literally a 30 second walk for me to go out Go out of my house and walk a few houses up and I can see the beach
That's so wild.
So when you get your family in a place where they can't see the beach or they're not experiencing the air and they're getting the humidity They're probably a little miserable at some points.
I Wouldn't say miserable because the weather since they've been he's actually been really apart from Saturday.
Yeah,
where it was but this week especially It's been nice so far and I think it's gonna be nice moving forward So and then once it's funny when they leave here at the start of October when it kind of starts to get a little bit cooler.
Yeah
it actually gets warm there.
So that we kind of gone from similar weather from here, from here to Australia.
So yeah, lucky them.
But you said early in one of our first episodes that you don't like winter.
You don't want to make them experience a winter up here, do you?
Correct.
Yeah, that's why I told them you got to come at the start of the season when the weather's not so, we're not down in Florida.
So they're going to be able to see the Nevada Game Tube?
Yeah, they'll be in the Nevada game and the Michigan game.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
So they're here for a couple more weeks.
People are going to be like, come on over to
our tailgate.
Let's have some fun.
Yeah.
I'm sure.
I'm sure.
Like I said, I'm sure my mom and little brother are loving that.
Anything else you wanted to add on this episode of the jock to jock podcast?
No, just a quick shout out to all the Holocaust fans.
I know it obviously hasn't been the greatest start to the season and there's a lot going on, but just make sure that everyone sticks with us.
Sticks with us.
Cause the easy thing to do is just jump off the ship.
But yeah, we'll rectify them.
So yeah, make sure you stay involved and keep supporting us all because yeah, we really appreciate you guys.
Cheer for the punter like the t-shirt
says.
Exactly.
Spot on.
Not too much though, because I don't want to be out there too much, you know.
Right.
You don't want to be that empty.
Yeah.
You know, people chanting you for Heisman, all that kind of stuff, but I'll leave that
out.
Yeah, definitely not.
Tori, good to talk to you again.
No, thanks, Brian.
Really appreciate it.
