I'm your host Brian Marshall joined by my featured guest, the punter for the Iowa football team, Tory Taylor back at it.
Once again, this week, Tory,
Brian, always a pleasure.
Thank you for having me on and they looked forward to it.
You're a two time, two time, big 10 special teams player of the week.
Yeah.
So I, uh, yeah, it's pretty nice.
I'm not going to lie.
That was pretty surprising.
Coach Raren's mentioned it after practice the other day because I mean it wasn't too bad of a game but I've certainly had better games but I haven't won it but in saying that there's plenty of talent going around but yeah it was a little bit of a surprise but I'm not going to complain am I but yeah it was nice.
I know that on this particular podcast you've been very humble but five punts for a 42.6 yard average four times inside the 20 and this is the third time that you've received this accolade.
That's gotta mean something to you a little bit, doesn't it?
Yes, yeah, it does.
I think I won the Iowa State game last year.
I'm not gonna lie, although I say I don't worry about it too much, I was a little dirty, I didn't win after in the Penn State game.
When else did I win it this year?
Was it the other first game?
Yeah, it was first game, yeah.
Yeah, then on the weekend.
So, I mean, it's pretty cool.
It's always cool because I get a little letter from Gary Bartter just saying congratulations.
Kevin Warren, like, sends me a letter and things like that.
So, like, that's pretty cool.
Just stuff you don't really think about until it happens.
So, yeah, get all, like, this is too big and some whatnot, but I don't worry about that stuff too much.
As long as we win the game, that's all I'm worried about.
I guess this would be something that is kind of on my radar.
Do you keep those certificates in some sort of, you know, something for yourself of your career, or do you just go, oh, that's cool and goodbye?
No, I do.
I've got them hanging up in my room.
Just as like just near my bed.
So when I wake up every morning, I say them just yeah, so I'll hold on to them because probably I probably don't really appreciate it now because I'm kind of in the moment, but yeah Asked me in 10 years.
I'll probably I'll probably look back and go, you know, that was actually pretty special
I'll hold you to that in your in your opinion though Who are some of the other teammates that you have that are big-time players on the Iowa team?
I would say guys like Jack Campbell and and probably got
I feel like one of the most underrated players on our team, a guy who's probably like Seth Benson.
And I know guys like Jack Campbell and Justin Jacobs, who unfortunately sustained a pretty serious injury on the weekend.
So Seth probably kind of doesn't really get the recognition he deserves, but just a really, really good player, really good on special teams.
Yeah, but guys like Jack Campbell and Seth Benson, Terry Roberts.
Coop with the jeans, another one.
Because it's all about, to me, it's all, people will kind of say, oh yeah, he's really good in the big games, but the great players are great all the time.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
So, but to answer your question, other guys like Sam LaForda, great player, I think Caleb Johnson, the young freshman running back, he's really come a long way.
And I mean, you obviously got the older guys like Caveman and Riley Moss too, whose names you probably hear a fair bit.
When you see some of the other guys, the position players, I mean, they're obviously out there a lot.
You mentioned Sam Laporta, who has been the primary target for Spencer.
That guy is a special player in the fact that he's able to grab pretty much anything that comes his way.
Yeah.
But then when you're talking about Cooper DeGene and Terry, to turn this around, would those guys have been good in an Australian rules football
field?
Sam LaPorte, probably not.
He's a little too heavy to be running around on a giant football field.
Okay.
Um, Cupid Dejean would be, I feel like Cupid Dejean is just good at everything.
Um, so yeah, he'd be pretty handy.
None of the linemen would.
Absolutely.
Uh, Jack Campbell might be okay.
Again, a little heavy.
And I say, I don't know how those boys would go running around for two hours, you know, cause it's a little bit of a different endurance.
Um, over here, it's kind of more stop-start, whereas a Shane Russell boy, you're just constantly running.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I don't know how those boys would go.
I mean, and they've never watched the game.
They're also delusional over here that they've never, they wouldn't even know what they're doing.
Um, so, yeah, to answer you, pardon my French, but to answer your question, Cooper, the gene would, would make the transition from an athletic point of view, from a skill set point of view.
Uh, I'm not trust in anyone.
Although Spencer, Patriots.
Yeah,
he has he has kicked a couple of Aussie style punts and handballs in the indoor one time when I had there was another shown over here We kind of took him and showed him what what a showing rules is all about.
So yeah, there you go
He decided he would you take a run at it, huh?
Or a kick yeah, I guess is as it were
Yeah, he shanked the first one, but then the second one he kicked through Get through the big stick.
So who knows you might be right big expense.
I wouldn't count on it.
So
Australian rules football professionally.
Are you drafted into that?
How does how does that work?
Because I guess I haven't asked that question.
Yeah.
So you actually can be drafted straight out of high school.
So my cousin actually plays professional football.
But there's so many, there's so many guys playing it.
It's really hard to make it.
Yeah.
In my opinion, probably kind of like sport in general, everyone's kind of forgetting the whole football aspect to it.
It's just like, oh, how good of an athlete is he or how much can he run or how fast is he?
Yeah.
And that's kind of the avenue that the Australian rules is kind of going.
It's like, well, if he can't kick a football, that's really not much help, do you know what I mean?
But yeah, a lot of teams are starting to go, oh, how good of an athlete is he?
It's like, well, how good is he actually at football?
Do you know what I mean?
Is there any individuals that join Aussie rules football that are not from Australia?
Are there people that come in from other countries?
There's an
American plane.
Thank you for supporting what I said before about how Americans are so naive about other sports as well.
Because Big Mason Cox, he's a giant.
He's over there playing.
He's been there probably five, six years now.
You're not going to leave this, but he's got a couple of eye problems or maybe a problem when he's one of his eyes.
So he wears sunglasses when he's out there.
I'm not even kidding.
The reason I'm asking is, like you said, we are naive about some of the other sports that are out there.
And I want to clearly know about it, A, because I'm interested in it.
So maybe I open up my horizons just a little bit.
I think that we need to do a little bit more of that over here.
Absolutely.
There's actually a few Arsh playing as well, because they're some tough motherfuckers from Ireland.
And I play Gaelic, which is kind of similar.
Yeah, they're over there in Australia playing as well.
Yeah, they certainly have a red-hot crack.
Yeah, they're some pretty tough guys that make the trip over from Ireland.
But yeah,
there's a few international players, not many.
There's
only the one American.
Who we all hate, but that's all right.
Nah, I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
It will lead into something that we're going to talk about in the Marshall Exchange program about Americans coming over and picking up work inside Australia.
Adam Corsac from Rusty Huggers.
Also from Melbourne.
Did he also go through Pro Kick or how did that work?
He did.
Yeah, he went through Pro Kick a few years before me.
So he's been over here for five years now and I got here two years ago.
So he probably did it probably four years before I came over.
So yeah, he's been over here a while now.
We will finish up this season.
But yes, I speak to Adam quite regularly.
I talk to guys in the Big Ten a lot more than others because there's quite a few of us.
Yeah, Adam's a really, really great dude and a really consistent partner.
He's been performing for a good solid couple of years now.
I really, since he got here, really, really nice guy.
Yeah, they're the sort of guys that you root for, because not only is he good on the field, but he's an even better person off it.
Did you guys get a chance to meet up on the field pre-game, post-game kind of stuff?
Yeah, so I spoke to him before the game for probably five minutes, half time.
couple minutes and then after the game really only like a minute or so I'm just got a photo spoke some shit so you don't really get a whole lot of time to talk to one another
right
but it's a bit different because when other teams come here I kind of head over to the away buses and kind of just talk to them for a good 20 30 minutes yeah for example like when Minnesota came here last year I was talking to their partner who's probably one of my good mates
Um, one of the guys I'm probably most close with over here, um, Mark Crawford.
Um, I've spoke to him for probably at 20 minutes or so.
And then when the Illinois boys came last year, I was over there for probably a half an hour, 45 minutes, just talking shit, not ever really talking about football.
We know.
Yeah.
Kind of the guy that's, uh, the welcoming wagon as it were, is it?
Yeah.
I guess so, but I think probably over here for, oh crap.
Here we go.
Yeah.
I think kind of like I've said before, it's probably.
one thing that people probably don't really appreciate.
Oh, not appreciate, but really understand.
It's so much fun seeing the other guys.
And I just love it.
It really makes the day special when lose or draw.
Yeah, I love it.
The other thing I wanted to cover from last week, obviously still in the world of punting, the Miami Dolphins game where the punter puts it right up the other guy's two hole.
Those are not crazy.
Have you ever shanked one into someone before?
No, I've kicked a few into the parking lot at practice.
But no, I don't think I've ever hit someone actually.
Because I mean, they're usually like seven yards in front of me.
So I got a little bit of room.
I don't think I've ever hit someone in front of me, but it's a little tight in the end zone.
Yeah, he wasn't one of the guys and and the protection is kind of took too many steps back.
And most I just sent one right up the rear.
But oh, well,
he collapsed pretty quickly after that that bounced off.
Yeah, I can't imagine that felt very good because the speed coming off of your foot is pretty intense, I would assume.
Yeah, it wouldn't tickle.
I'll tell you that right now.
Probably had a
little bit, but
probably didn't sit down on the bench after that play.
No, no, I would say not.
So number four, Michigan coming into Kinnock.
Do you think coach Harbaugh lets you walk on over the bus and say, Hey, how you guys doing?
No, I won't be doing that.
Don't really like them.
Anyone on that team.
So I won't be mentoring over that way whatsoever to tell you the truth.
Yeah.
So what's your feeling about a ranked team like Michigan coming into Kinnock?
Is this more, there's more competitive spirit and that's not how I want to word it.
I know what you mean.
And there's really, there's not many opportunities like this where you kind of have a top five ranked team coming to town.
And yeah, Kenny's going to be going crazy.
The town's already crazy.
They're setting up a whole shit round town at the moment.
So
yeah,
yeah, it's, I'll be long if I said it's not going to be pretty wild because it will be for me.
I feel like I'll kind of take a little bit of a different approaches.
I don't really give a shit who we're playing as long as I get to
hang out with the boys and have a good time.
That's all that matters to me.
I hear that the former WWE Champion, Big E, will be in the house.
Yeah, I've kind of got a bit of an embarrassing moment.
I'm not gonna lie.
Oh
boy.
He came to my building yesterday and coach was introducing me.
I said, oh, what's up, man?
How you doing like Tori?
Tori, nice to meet you.
He said, oh, hey man, like nice to meet you too.
Like massive fan, he always like keep going, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then.
I was like, do you know who that is?
I'm like, no.
Oh, he's like, oh, it's the big E the rest.
I'm like, oh, no shit.
There you go.
But I'm not into any WWE or anything like that.
So yeah,
that
was pretty cool.
But really nice guy.
Probably bench presses about three times three of me.
So pretty ridiculous.
That's funny that you big time to big E, quite frankly.
No, not even.
I hope I didn't disrespect him.
No, I don't think you did.
I looked at him like, God, you look a little familiar.
Yeah.
But last year he kind of had, he was barely wearing any clothing whereas this time he was kind of rubbed up.
So it was kind of hard to notice and he was wearing a beanie and everything as well.
Do
you think that that's refreshing to a guy like him?
Kind of like for you, if you can go into a place and somebody doesn't interrupt you for your day and you just kind of get to go do what you do, a guy like him.
You may not have known him.
You didn't fall in all over him.
He kind of probably finds that just like he's back on the team again.
Yeah, maybe I'll just he probably don't even didn't even think anything of it.
But yeah, like I said at first, I'm like, oh, maybe this is just a pass by, which is a pass by just coming through and saying what's up because that happens quite regularly.
I was like, oh, hey, what's up, man?
Like, Tori, nice to meet you.
Like, thanks for stopping by.
And then I think I was like, oh, what are you doing up this way?
He's like, oh, I'm from Tampa, just getting out of the hurricane or whatever.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, fair enough.
And what do you know?
I'm like, oh, it's the big E's here for the game again.
Now I should go up to him like, oh, well, it's only come to the big games now.
What's going on there?
Yeah, there you go.
It's really laid into him.
So he's down.
OK, I see what you're
doing.
Yeah.
Nice guy, like really, really nice guy.
He messed up his neck in a match and he's coming back from it.
And does he get a chance to work out with the team?
Or is he using the facilities?
I
don't think so.
He might have wrecked out a few reps on the bench press yesterday in his spare time, but I've got absolutely no idea.
Big, big dude.
You're not going to take him one for one,
huh?
No, I'm not going to waste my time.
Yeah, I get you.
He'd probably put me in the sleep hold or something pretty quickly.
Not just Big E in town, but your family's in town to see you playing this big, big match up.
This has got to be something cool for you.
Not even that.
It finally looks like it's going to be a nice day.
Touch wood.
Yeah.
I was going to bring that up too, but I figured I wouldn't say anything this time.
Yeah.
Yeah, it'd be nice and hopefully we can get the win for him.
So the Marshall Exchange Program, or as we dubbed it last episode, Tori's Travel Tips.
When I come to Australia, when I come to Melbourne, one of the things I thought about is I work in the world of radio.
And I thought if we're cruising the M1 or the Princess Freeway, we're going past Port Phillip, what are we listening to on the radio?
What are some good stations that we can listen to while we're traveling around Victoria?
Well, there's a lot but it's really gonna depend on the individual and what to that what they're into so People probably I'm gonna believe me when I'm saying this but I kind of like old school stuff So we're gonna be listening to go 104.3.
Okay, and yeah, we're gonna be listening to some 80s Some 90s, you know, just some some good solid music, but then if you want to listen to some new stuff We can listen to Nova or kiss FM.
So yeah, there you go.
If it's you and I
We're listening to Gold 104.3 because yeah, that's just my go-to.
So what are some of the artists that would be on Gold 104.3?
Paul
and I, some things like that.
Do you know George Michael?
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah,
I like Paul and Michael.
Paul and I, it's me and Eater.
It really gets you fired up, it sounds
like.
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
Just yeah, all the old school classics, you know, maybe the Stones might be on there.
Okay.
Bit of ACDC every now and then.
Yeah.
Does Australia, I don't know if you know this or not, but I know Canada says a portion of their playlist has to include Canadian artists.
Is it the same way in Australia?
Do you know?
Yes.
So yeah, thank you for bringing that up, actually, because I forgot to mention that there's a radio station called Triple J that only plays Australian music, but I can't get into that.
I don't like it at all.
In fact, when I used to be working on the job sites, that's all they played.
And it used to shit me the tears because I hate it.
I hate Triple J.
I will never listen to it
ever.
Yeah.
I'm sorry I'm laughing, but is that a phrase that you say a lot?
No, just, I don't know.
It felt like the right thing to say.
No, that's okay.
I love it.
I found one that was 105 one in Melbourne called triple M. That's a lot like
this.
Yes, so triple M will be that's where you can listen to Australian football.
And again, they just play good music.
I wasn't anything but that Australian football, honestly, because it's terrible.
Absolutely.
It's kind of like pee pee.
Like, yeah, just not my vibe.
In fact, people that listen to it are morons.
So the with triple M, I noticed that the playlist is a lot the same as here.
And you said that they play at Australian Rules Football.
I saw it said.
Triple M rocks footy and I figured yeah, that's what that was triple M rocks football.
You said the one guy Mason had made it over to play Aussie football What I fit would it work?
Could I do it on triple M or would I just be booed out of the building?
No, you could
or actually
even with my American accent
Well, they'd probably be like who is this guy like who that first and foremost about this time must be pretty famous
If
he's an American that's come on the radio station, but yeah, maybe you might have to like lie and just tell them it's like, yeah, hey, this is like George Bush or something like that, you know, Donald Trump and just a lot of them.
But yeah, say some famous American, I don't know.
Yeah.
I wouldn't say you'd be boot off the stage, but you'd have to have a pretty valid reason to be on there.
Because I would say that your fellow countrymen and yourself would go.
No, wait a second.
Why is he taking a spot of somebody that could be on here from here?
Yeah.
Well, we might need to test that theory.
There you go.
You just have to teach me a couple of things I need to know.
Yeah, exactly.
So the Marshall Exchange Program, we've talked about so far.
We've talked about don't be afraid of snakes and spiders.
We've talked about VB.
We've talked about getting a coffee from the number one place in the world, respectfully, to get a coffee.
7-Eleven.
Yeah.
7-Eleven in Australia.
Now we've talked about the radio station.
There's got to be something else that we're going to next week.
What would you like to highlight for me?
I brought up a lot of things from my end of things.
Is there anything that I'm missing so far?
Because you've said, to be fair, we're kind of naive about what goes on in Australia.
And that's what I'm trying to bring out here with the Marshall Exchange Program and Tory's travel tips.
Well, we've covered it before, but I can't emphasize enough.
like this whole snakes and spiders thing
yeah
this needs to be like this needs to be live streamed nationwide
okay
there are no fucking crazy spiders in Australia and I don't know well there might be but no nobody's seen them so I don't know where that's come from there's snakes but I mean I'm not gonna walk outside and see a snake in my like front yard that doesn't happen I feel like we haven't really touched on weather or beaches or anything like that
perfect
We will see for the next episode because you said you live very close to the ocean.
So my dad goes swimming every morning.
Yeah.
And he can walk into my bar.
So my brother's window.
And that's how he knows whether it's safe to go swimming or not.
Because if in the winter, if it's a little rough, you can't really go.
I went down there when I went back in May.
I went down there a couple of times.
I didn't get in the water because I was I was too scared.
It's way too cold.
But.
Interesting because you said you said you were scared, but not because of anything in the water because Okay,
I said to my dad I'm like I'm not I'm only home for three weeks Why am I gonna waste my time in the cold water like that's just dumb
freezing your balls off?
Yeah, exactly, but I'm not gonna lie.
It is one of the best feelings ever But when you when you get in and out just so refreshing,
you know, Tori I've taken you a lot longer on this one and kind of
played in the weeds a little bit on it, but I appreciate you taking the time.
Good
luck.
So it's always a pleasure.
Anything else you want to add to the audience here on the jock to jock podcast today?
Uh, no, I just appreciate everyone's support.
And, um, yeah, really looking forward to Saturday.
I hope everyone gets along or wherever you're watching the snow or out there that on your house is often we'll appreciate your support and go out and buy a t-shirt for me.
Would you?
That's right.
Oh, say one more time, because we didn't highlight it on this episode, punting is winning Ray Gunn.
We're going to get it.
Yeah, just the raygun store.
Yeah, head into your local raygun store or raygun.com I think it is and One t-shirt goes a long way to saving lots.
Again, everyone that's bought a t-shirt really appreciate and everyone that hasn't I just really encourage you to get out there and and get one
if you don't buy the t-shirt He may take that football and do a butt punt to you too.
Yeah, exactly exactly rightfully so as well
