Jock 2 Jock Podcast with Tory Taylor - Season 3 Kickoff (Part 2)

Welcome to the jock to jock podcast.

I'm Brian Marshall from the Rockaway morning show back for season three and sponsored by I'm on communications experience the I'm on difference.

Check them out at I'm on net for residential business and partnership services in the off season.

I was having communication with my featured guest here today and wasn't sure if he was going to commit to come back to the podcast or not and I would like to say it was like March or April.

I sent him a text message and I said, oh, it looks like we're teaming up again here for the football season.

He said, sounds like news to me.

So he took a little time to commit to the project.

He was named a pre-season All-American by the Associated Press, joining us from his humble abode.

Ladies and gentlemen, my friend, Tory Taylor, welcome back to the Jock to Jock

podcast.

wasn't just like a normal podcast in the sense that, oh, let's just talk about football.

And, um, yeah, I really just enjoy getting to know things, um, about others and yourself and I guess myself as well.

You know,

I appreciate that.

I did see that you got on with the Vandenbergs and, uh, I don't look as one of the hostess, uh, on that show.

So yeah, Matt is, Matt is quite pretty.

I agree.

What was that like?

Cause you run, uh, I think that one was recorded for video too, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was.

As long as I know the person and I know that they've kind of got good morals and true meaning behind it, I don't mind doing podcasts.

But when it's kind of someone random that I don't really know, it doesn't really interest me.

Because people might not think this, but I kind of like to keep a low profile and I don't like people knowing too much about me, which might be good or bad.

But at the same time,

Um, it's also good to kind of get out of your comfort zone and go do those things.

And it's interesting that I had a few people back home reach out to me and said, Oh, hey, listen to the podcast.

You actually, um, spoke really well.

And I said, Oh, really that that's good.

Cause I've kind of been working on, I guess my communication skills, uh, in general.

So yeah, happy, happy about that.

But to answer your original question, sorry, but I'm kind of, when I'm a tangent there, but to ask you,

answer your original question.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

I appreciate that.

And I know it's still not as good as this though.

Let's just put that out

there.

Okay.

Let's start with the off season.

If I remember right, you flew home right after the season completed, right?

Yeah.

As soon as the ballgame was over, I was in Australia the next day.

And I got a text message from you.

I believe this would have been right as you were landing or a day afterward.

And I get a text that was, you were stating that the quality of the Australian 7-Eleven coffee had changed, which was something that you were adamant about during last season's jock to jock podcast.

That was one of the best coffees you could get.

Something had changed.

What happened?

Yeah.

So yeah, my brother picked me up from the airport.

Uh, he had this, that we stopped off the highway because he had to fill up his car with petrol.

And then yeah, I get out of the car.

I was like, Oh, I'm going to grab a coffee.

Yeah.

You have no idea how much I missed it.

And.

I go inside.

I make a coffee.

I'm like, oh, these lids are weird.

And then it was like, you know those paper lids?

Yeah.

It's like the paper straws.

They just get all soft and they all mushy.

And I first and foremost, I hated that.

And then the coffee was just crap.

So, and I'll happily say that because I know I'm never going to get any NIL dildo or anything with 7-Eleven.

So yeah, they've let me down.

So whenever when I went back in January and May, my go-to spot was actually

Um, still petrol station coffee, but I went somewhere else.

So yeah, 7-Eleven let me down.

And you know, I'm not one of those like environmentalists that's like, yeah, it's good for the immoral and blah, blah, blah.

Cause none of that stuff is really going to affect me cause I'll be dead.

So it's fine.

Um, but you know what?

If they want to go like the paper lid, um, yeah, that's fine.

But they're not getting an extra two bucks from me.

What was the name of the petrol station in Australia that you started to frequent then if it wasn't 7-Eleven?

It was called Kohl's Express.

So you know Kohl's like, you know Shell Petrol Station, or sorry, I should say gas station, but Shell Gas Station, they do coffee in Australia that's unbelievable as well.

So that was, yeah, that was my go-to coffee spot.

Yeah, I was having about two or three cups of coffee a day when I was back, which isn't good, but you got to make the most of it while you're there.

Yeah, I remember your dad was

You know, when you told him that 7-Eleven coffee was the way to go, he didn't want to agree with you at that point.

He

was just taking a cheap shot because he thinks I'm cheap when it comes to coffee.

But like I said, if I had to pay $5 for 7-Eleven coffee or not now or Cole's Express coffee, I would.

It's not a money thing.

It's really just quality and it happens to be cheap.

So I'm happy to oblige and I'm happy to pay.

The thing that people have to remember here in Iowa, when Tori's going home in January, it's becoming to get a little bit warmer back at home, right?

A little bit

more... Yeah, it was about... Oh, it was about 35, 40 degrees Celsius.

So what's that in Fahrenheit?

Like 100?

Oh, wow.

I forget.

So it was not quite the contrast and snowy all-hour.

So what did you occupy your time with when you were back at home both times?

And how much Australian chocolate did you end up eating?

Oh, a little bit.

So I kind of, you know, what I really enjoy about going back to Australia is first and foremost, just being able to relax.

Because whenever I'm in Iowa, I'm always doing something, whether it be school, football.

Yeah, that's about it.

But whenever I'm here, I'm always doing something.

So to just be able to go back to Australia and not really have anything, like no time commitments, or I don't need to be here, I don't need to be there.

I still go see my coaches a lot, like I was still going and seeing this guy at some gym.

So that was really fun, just to try and get my body right.

He helped me with a lot of things.

Yeah, I still went and saw my coaches two or three times a week, which I really enjoy.

And yeah, that was about it really, just hung out with my friends.

I played a lot of golf, hung out with my family, like when I hung out with my grandparents quite a bit and just hang out with people that hadn't kind of seen for a while, you know.

Do you appreciate, because I know now as somebody who has a higher profile like you do on the Iowa team, a lot of people they'll see you and they'll want something of your time.

When you're back at home, there's not as much of that.

So that probably has to lower your stress level a little bit, right?

Yeah, I mean, I don't hear like going out and things like that.

It can get annoying at times, but just because I find it a little awkward, you know, like I was kind of saying on

Um, to the Vandenbergs the other day, it's, they're kind of like, Oh, do you like the attention blah, blah, blah?

And I said, not really.

Cause it's awkward.

And sometimes, you know, when people are staring, I don't really know where to look myself.

But yeah, go back to Australia and nobody has absolutely no idea who I am unless I know them.

So, um, yeah.

Does that answer the question?

Yeah.

I think so.

And the Australian chocolate.

Yeah.

This year I've really been trying to like focus more on my diet.

And so I didn't, I didn't have as much.

as I probably would usually.

But when I did, it was gone pretty quickly, Brian.

Coach, did they give you any sort of mandate when you went back home?

Hey, make sure that you're doing this, doing that.

Did they leave you alone when you go home or how does that

work?

They just want you to make sure that you're staying up to date with all the lifts and running and things like that, which I do.

And then on top of that, like I said, I go see my coaches a couple of times.

Um, but it's kind of just nice.

You know, that may have been like one or two hours a day.

And then the rest of the day, I've got free.

Like I didn't have to worry about school or anything as such.

So yeah, it's always just really relaxing.

Um, it goes by really quickly, but I love going home.

It's, it's a long way, but it's always worth it when I'm there, especially when the weather's nice.

Cause you know, I'm fortunate enough to have lived in a pretty nice, um, I guess part of the world really.

So it's really nice there.

And yeah, I always love going back, but I want me to go back until.

2025, you know, hopefully football works out next year and won't be back for a couple of years, which is, which is sad that the longer I'm in America, Brian, the better.

Interesting.

I was going to ask that question is that this is what your third year at Iowa, fourth year at Iowa, right?

Fourth year, yeah.

Fourth year at Iowa.

What are some things that you've picked up on, you know, living here that maybe you had misconceptions of?

When you moved here to begin with

I'd say just people in general and it's clearly an Iowa thing because you go to other parts of the country and people aren't necessarily like that or like they are here But it's probably most of the people you know a lot of American people that come out to Australia There's kind of a bit of a sense of self entitlement sometimes so that kind of caught me by surprise when I was when I moved here and Then the big thing is being food

You know, like I've said, probably last year a bit, coffee and food in Australia is, um, it's top notch.

It's really hard to beat, but here it's been unbelievable.

And I think there's just such a vast variety of food choices to choose from.

And not anymore, Brian, but I used to be a big candy person and there is various amounts of access to sugary foods here, I'd say.

When you did return to Iowa,

Uh, you started working with your coaches and trainers to prepare for the 2023 season.

When did you get back in the gym with coaches and trainers?

Was that right away after you got back from Australia or, or how did that work?

Uh, so I would have arrived, I arrived this Sunday morning and then, uh, when did I first went to training on the Monday, the next day, actually.

Yeah.

Cause I run sessions Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

So yeah, I went, um,

Monday morning and then I went first one to the gym on the Wednesday.

So it was kind of right back into it.

But I enjoy it.

You know, I just enjoy punting balls.

There's really no other way to put it.

Like I absolutely love it.

And I think you've kind of answered part of my next question because there may be some younger audience members that are kind of curious what your training consists of.

And I know your training is different than alignment.

Your training is different than

a resender otherwise, but what does your training consist of?

What are you after?

What helps you to be the athlete that you are?

Probably just a lot of technical stuff.

I'm pretty, well, not far into my career, but I've kind of progressed so much from when I first got here.

So now it's just tweaking little things, whether it be my steps and how quickly can I get the ball into the spot where I need it to be.

And it's probably one of those things that people don't

quite understand they a lot of the time they just think punning is kicking but I spend more time like working on my hands than anything else like that and there's a lot of people that will attest that so whether it's just like I do a lot of work with like the crossballs and stuff like that into the wall just juggling them into the wall and a lot of like reactive stuff just trying to make sure that my hand eye coordination is up to scratch and yeah my hands are ready to go because the quicker your hands are

And the quicker you get it set, the easier it is to just gain confidence into hitting up through the ball.

So it's probably one of those things that people go, oh, well, you just keep the ball, which really, yeah, I do, but there's so much more that goes into it from a hands point of view.

And that's one thing that I've been really appreciative of coach would disease kind of half on that.

And when I first got here, I was like, yeah, whatever, shut up.

I don't really care.

I know what I'm doing.

Like, I know how to keep the ball.

I've been doing it for 20 years.

So just leave me alone.

But then, yeah, it's really kind of probably paid off, especially this year, especially with holding.

So holding is kind of, it's weird.

My hands have improved so much holding that it's really made the transition into punting.

So yeah, it's always nice when hard work pays off, but I do spend a lot of time working on my hands and steps and just making sure that my body posture is where I want it to be.

So I used to kind of be like a

Stand a little taller, have a higher drop.

But when we kind of figure out with the weather, when you've got a high drop, when you're dropping it higher, and it's making contact with your foot there, I guess the length or the distance between the drop and the contact of the ball is quite high.

And there's a lot of room for the wind to play around and move it.

So now it's more so just about me dropping it lower, but holding onto the ball for longer.

So I'm still making contact at the right point.

where I want to, but there's less room for the ball to travel, which means there's less that can go wrong.

So it's probably a little bit of a nerdy answer, but I kind of like talking about that stuff.

No, because and forgive me on this.

Did your long snapper change from last year to this year?

No, and I still got the same guy, which makes things easier because then the two of you are working in tandem, whether it's for punting or when you guys are kicking field goals, right?

Because it's the same snapper.

Yeah.

And like I said, I feel like

What has really held to me is just I love, like I love punting.

There's really no other way to put it.

I feel like some guys are kind of just might play football because they've always been good at it.

And whereas I feel like mine's kind of authentic, like I literally just love punting.

So, um, yeah, it's great.

Just gives me a lot of satisfaction, to be honest.

Let's take a break on our football talk right now.

And we're introducing a new game to the jock to jock podcast last year.

It was the Marshall Exchange program learning a little bit about what was going on in the world of Australia.

I think that I've kind of played that out, Tori.

And by having your father on for the final edition of that, I think that was kind of the capper on the end of last year.

This year, I wanted to play a game.

And I kind of did this with Connor McCaffrey, where it was called the double, double dumbass.

But in this case, I want to do it.

It's an Australian, I'm sorry, American or Australian dumbass.

Or I looked this up and confirmed or deny

Or if it's a bad word, just tell me to bleep it.

Drongo.

Drongo, that just means idiot.

My dad would say that all the time.

He still does.

Okay.

If I tell him I did something silly over here, he'll call me Captain Drongo.

So

would you be comfortable with an American dumbass or an Australian Drongo?

Comfortable with what?

In what regards,

sir?

In this game here, being able to say that's okay.

or a drongo.

So if it's a dummy, kind of the same

meaning, but he's saying that one's American, one's Australian.

I'll kind of get a guess the country.

Gotcha.

Okay.

Far, far away.

Perfect.

So there's going to be two, two headlines here.

You'll have to tell me dumbass or drongo.

And then I will give you a bonus point for each one.

If you can tell me either the state or the city in Australia that it came from.

OK, this is going to be hard.

I don't really follow the news.

So this might be difficult.

It might be.

If we go 13 episodes, you have a grand total of 52 that you can hit this year.

52 points hit this year.

How many of 52 do you think you're going to get to this year?

Let's go 40.

Let's go 45.

45.

Let's go for 52.

We're going 52 out of 52.

All right.

Got to understand the standard high, but.

Yeah, we're not here to mock around, Brian.

And if I'm a little short, that's fine.

Not when it comes to punting.

All right, dumbass or drongo.

First story, a man visiting a park is now facing charges after drunkenly stumbling into a hot spring.

He suffered burns to his feet.

The second story, a man arrested for setting a series of small fires.

After he was being searched, police found two live ducklings in his underwear.

So of those two stories, which one's the dumb ass and which one's the drongo?

Oh, they could both be drongoes.

Honestly.

That's hard I'm gonna say Oh Brian, this is hard because they could both be this just it sounds like this is what some dumb Idiot Australian would do It just doesn't sound very American both of them.

Okay.

I'm gonna say the man with the ducklings is

actually

a drongo

really

yes and I've got them both wrong not necessarily because I will give you the bonus point if you can tell me where that drongo was based I'm gonna say Queensland I'm sorry you got two of them wrong well what state is it the city Melbourne

No way.

We don't do that down there.

Queensland's full of all the weirdos.

In the CBD in Frankston was the guy that got the ones that got him.

Oh my God, that's where I'm from.

That's like ten minutes, five minutes from my house.

All right.

So the one that was stumbling into a hot spring, what state do you think that was in?

In Australia.

Nope, not in Australia.

Sorry, in America.

Yep.

What state?

Stumbling into a hot spring.

I'm going to go, where are the hot springs around here?

I don't know.

Let's go Iowa.

You said Iowa?

Yeah.

Tori, I'm sorry.

Both of them wrong in this case.

And it was at Yellowstone National Park.

Oh, of course.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But I did some research and found out that Australia does have hot springs.

So.

Yes.

Well, you know, I kind of made the, when you said, you know, Franks and

Um near Melbourne run from I was like, well, this one's got to be all over, but you know, you twisted it pretty well.

Sorry about that bastard.

That's

right.

Back to, uh, back to football.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've had enough.

So maybe we'll just call it quits after one episode.

Sorry.

Well, that's what happened the last day.

I have another dumbass or drongo here coming up for, uh, next episode.

We had a conversation recently.

There's a new crop of players this year.

In your mind, who are some of your teammates to watch this season from an audience perspective?

Who are some of the teammates you're looking at going, hell yeah, that guy, that guy?

I think you look at someone like Deontay Vines probably hasn't really had his chances, just because he's really been injured.

Nick Jackson is a great player that's kind of come in.

He's going to make some plays.

I mean, he just hit so hard if people came and watched.

Yeah, I don't want to say who he keeps lighting up, but it's a bit.

It's fun to watch from the sideline, knowing that you don't have to do it.

Yeah, I really like guys.

Yeah, Deontay, Nick Jackson, I think Lukla Shay is going to be a great player, already is, but I feel like he's going to make that next step too.

And then you look at guys like Eric Hall, he's got a proven track record.

And then you look on defense.

I think Jay Higgins.

He's kind of the leader on defense now Alongside guys like Logan Lee and Joe Evans, but they've just been performed at such a consistent level for so long So you really kind of know what you're gonna get with those guys But the one guy I think people are gonna be really surprised about which I'm not gonna be surprised about is Deontay Vines.

Yeah, really smooth mover And then you know, you got a couple of freshmen like you know, but we use a

Receiver out of Florida.

He's he could be he could be out there playing I mean then you got guys like Kip of the Jean he can always rely on but that's just keep you know what you're gonna get with him Alongside a lot of guys on the defense, you know, they've been so consistently good for so long They're coached.

Well, so yeah, you know what you're gonna get with those guys But I think Erica or Luke Lachey those guys gonna Surprise a few I think

on a punt coverage

Uh, is Cooper Dijine still lined up on one side for you?

Well, I'm not going to give too much away, Brian.

All right.

That's fine.

I kind of, I figured

maybe not.

I figured I'd ask the

question.

I hope so.

He makes life easier.

Starting off the season with a bang with Tori Taylor here on the jock to jock podcast coming up next week.

We'll have part two of that conversation.

and another American dumbass or Australian drongo.

Will Tory make things right next week and get some points on the board?

We'll find out.

The Jock to Jock podcast sponsored by I'm on communications experience the I'm on difference.

Thanks for joining us for the jock to jock podcast sponsored by I'm on communications experience the I'm on difference.

I'm Brian Marshall from the Rockaway morning show.

I'll get the punters perspective on Iowa football from Tory Taylor right after this.

It's the season three kickoff of the jock to jock podcast.

I'm Brian Marshall.

In the last show, Tory was talking about some of the

athletes that we should pay attention to this season.

You look at someone like the on tape bonds probably hasn't really had these chances.

I just could have really been injured.

Nick Jackson is a great player that's kind of come in.

He's going to make some plays.

I mean, he just hit so hard if people came and watched.

Blocks drill.

Yeah, I don't want to say who he keeps lighting up, but it's a bit.

It's fun to watch from from the sideline knowing that you don't have to do

it.

So as we start this episode, I had to talk a little bit more about the preseason accolades that Tori had received.

I got to mention it right here.

Congratulations to you and Cooper for being named AP All-American first team, which I kind of chuckled at because I was like, AP All-American.

He's Australian, but you know, whatever.

First and foremost, I appreciate that.

It's obviously always nice to get some sort of recognition, but.

I mean, if people are born into preseason awards and things like that, you play a pretty dangerous game because you haven't even played a game yet.

Like I haven't punted one ball.

Yep.

Yeah, a lot can change.

What's your mindset been like the last couple of weeks, getting ready for the start of the season?

You know, it's kind of, that's an interesting question because it's kind of one of those things, you know,

Leading up to the game.

It's like, oh, well, I've done all the work.

Now it's just all about execution and you never really know how you're going to go until you get in the game.

So it's really kind of just high levels of excitement.

I haven't really been that nervous, not stressed or anything like that.

Just trying to keep my mind literally one day at a time.

I feel like it's so cliche and it's one of those things where people go, yeah, whatever, everybody says that.

But the better that people do at just taking it day by day,

You know, I caught up with Nate Cating last week and one thing that he really said to me was, it's crazy how these guys you catch up with the previous specialist and even as previous players, you leave going, that's so simple.

Like am I just dumb or how did I not think of that?

But he kind of just said to me that goals are so more easily achieved when you kind of break them up into smaller amounts.

So one thing that I'm really going to focus on this year is just

playing four three game seasons and whatever's added after that is just really going to be added bonus and I think you know everyone's got goals and things like that but that's great but when you've kind of got goals you there's almost like a fixed ceiling and I don't really like that it's more so just well hey I don't have goals like these are the expectations you know what I mean and if you come up short and you've given it your all sometimes like that's okay

But I've got a lot of off-field goals as well, you know, and a lot of them are really just come from a lot of goals and expectations.

They're all just byproducts of Great performance and the better you perform The more that's gonna come and I think it's one of the thing that I really worry about with with people moving forward and the whole NIL thing is that people's energy and focus is so so much more towards that

Avenue or that that stream of money and financial gain and things like that you kind of forget where What actually got you there in the first place?

Mm-hmm.

So I think like I said before my biggest focus is Well, what can I do this session right now?

You know what I mean?

Yeah, because last year I was kind of like, oh, you know, what am I doing next year?

Like let's just get through the season I don't know what I'm gonna do next year blah blah blah, but it's just like well that that's just a bullet attitude, you know what I mean and

I only thought about that here or there, but this year it's just kind of been one of those things that I'm done in four months.

So why not just give it a bloody crack and give it everything I've got.

So yeah, just really excited for the season.

Just been a big focus on individualizing each day and just hanging each day as it comes because it's full of new challenges.

But as long as it's not about where you're at, Brian, but it's more so about where you're heading.

So that's kind of one of those things that I really try and focus on.

One of those things that you told me last season during the jock to jock podcast was that you like playing on the road at Jack Tray Stadium against the Cyclones.

Cannot wait.

It's one of my favorite games of the year.

I only played there once so far.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy crowd.

Well, you know, they only rocked up for the first half and then they were all gone because we kicked their ass.

But, um, yeah, they

they did that to us last year so we haven't really got much of a leg to stand on and yeah there's a lot of guys motivated by that but yeah it's just it really is just another game for me you know some guys get more excited about other games but I'm also just trying to focus on each punting rep at a time and just trying to make maximum contact and get my body into the ball that's really all I ever think about it's really I just try and keep practice and games similar

Because it really is it's just really just me going out and punting a boat wherever I do it

But you do it in such a way that you've been successful and you wouldn't have received that preseason accolade Had you not been focusing on some of the things like you said earlier in last episode Focusing on the hands and different things that you need to work on and tweak on because if you do take that next level They're only gonna fine-tune you even more as you go along, right?

Yeah, and it's one of those things that

A lot of coaches look at that stuff.

It's like, oh, how good are his hands?

You know, if you've got, if your hands are all over the place and you look nervous, how can they really trust you to put you in the game?

So that's one thing that I've kind of realized.

You really got to have good hands, good steps.

And I think my biggest thing is just putting all my body into the ball.

That's kind of been a big focus this offseason is using all of my body to explode up into the ball.

Yeah, it was kind of the reason I wanted to lose a bit of weight over the offseason was to just kind of increase my speed into the ball.

So I feel like that really helped a lot.

So we'll wrap up this particular episode.

We did it last one.

We're going to do it again.

American dumbass or Australian drongo?

And I think last time I might have messed this up.

Yeah, last time

I was terrible.

You have the opportunity here to not only tell me whether this is American and Australian, and drongo is the slang term for

Slow person or idiots in a way kind of yeah, all right, so you'll tell me that I'm gonna read you both and then you determine Which one it is I won't say yes or no to each and then you'll have a bonus point if you can tell me the American state It's from or the city in Australia it's from so two more for you We start off with Katie Perry has been fighting in court since 2009 against a woman with the same name who has a small clothing brand The Katie that is not the singer says quote my label is my future

my dream, my livelihood, and now there's a chance my trademark could be taken away by the singer Katy Perry.

The second story, 41-year-old man was arrested after he sped past police and tried to elude them.

When stopped, he was drunk and wearing a shirt that said, quote, I'm the reason the beer's always gone.

Well, the latter one is definitely dumb ass.

That's

correct.

Why do you say that?

The Katy Perry one.

But that makes me think it's American.

Well, is it one or the other?

Look, I don't know.

Yeah, it's one of the it's one of the other.

So I'm going to give you points for both.

Okay.

Yeah.

Thoughts

are there's an Australian person doing that.

Yes.

Now.

Oh, God.

Where do you think the 41 year old man was at?

What's what state in the United States do you think he was from?

That's

a great question.

I feel like it's definitely up this way, whether it's somewhere in like the Dakotas, maybe in a bra.

I'm going to go to Iowa again.

Why do you say Iowa?

Well, they love drinking beer.

What else is there to do?

No, it's actually Florida.

Really?

Wow.

Okay.

I'll give you a pro tip here, just like, you know, how you practice.

Florida has a lot of daily dumbasses.

Okay, fair enough.

Katie Perry, where do you think the K-A-T-I-E Perry and her clothing label is based in Australia?

I'm going to say New South Wales or Sydney.

Sydney is correct.

Yes.

So what's that?

Three points.

Three points.

Wow.

There we go.

We're making progress unlike last time.

That was a disgrace.

You had started off saying, I'm going to get all 52 of them.

And

I'm five in the drink.

Unfortunately, you ran on Ohio State on one of these.

Yeah, exactly.

it was funny that on the instagram for the vandenbergs podcast the first thing that they talked about was your uh your double punt situation i'm like

boy that well they didn't do that research because it wasn't a double punt i just kicked it off the ground

yeah

so i was kind of sitting there like guys come on they kicked it off the ground but yeah that was quite a interesting story

Tori

Taylor with us for the jock to jock podcast season three as we're wrapping up episode two.

Let's talk a little bit about the ray gun shirts and how that helps out the count the kicks program, please.

Yeah.

So kind of like a, uh, the last couple of years started the T shirt design.

So obviously the punting is winning T shirt is still out there with a number nine and my name on the back.

So that's pretty cool.

That's still going and yeah, all the money.

that is made from those t-shirts is sent off to count the kicks.

So, yeah, that's all still gone, which is, yeah, pretty exciting.

Ways that they can follow you on social media.

You don't have Facebook or Twitter or anything.

You're just on Instagram, right?

No, yeah, just on Instagram.

That's kind of keeping that way.

It's a good way for me to talk to friends back home, but also still limit social media use.

But yeah, what is my Instagram?

ToriTaylor9, I think it is.

I'm supposed to

post.

Yeah, I don't know.

There you go.

I've got a question about that Instagram and something that you posted here.

We'll save it for the next episode, okay?

Okay,

sounds

good.

Tori, thanks again for the time.

Appreciate it, Juan.

Always a pleasure.

That'll do it for this week's jock to jock podcast.

Next week, you heard me mention Tori Taylor's Instagram.

There's a particular picture I want to know just a little bit more about because it involves

coach Kirk Barron's house and a pool.

We'll find out more next week on the jock to jock podcast sponsored by I'm on communications experience the I'm on difference.
