Jock 2 Jock Podcast with Tory Taylor - "Accents On & Off The Field"

Who used all the Wi-Fi?

Ah, apartment life.

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.

Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.

Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments.

Furnished, in-unit washer and dryer.

Internet included.

A great central downtown location.

One to five bedroom apartments.

And no double occupancy fees.

That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Union Station Apartments.

Now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

Thanks

Great to have you with us this week on our last episode.

I asked Tori about what particular team he'd rather not interact with before a game

Nebraska, which is always interesting because It yeah, it's always interesting in the sense that you play a lot of teams right and a lot of guys think it's like the driving range and it's a bit of a pissing contest in the warm-up and it's like yeah, you see all these punters smoke balls and

you know, kickers will go back to 60 yards and they'll make one out of five and they think they've got his gift.

It's the same with the Nebraska guys and I don't really care saying this, I'll say it to their face.

They're just not nice people.

They think they're the best thing ever and football's a stats game and some of them go to them.

So check this stat sheet, your knucklehead, you're down the bottom.

But we just let our football do the talking most of the time.

You know, we played Nebraska last year and

few of the receivers and linebackers from Nebraska came out and they literally just picked up our balls like a kid you know looks about the staff of ball team for field golf picked up our ball and just kicked it 30 yards away and it's just yeah the special teams coach was one of the fighters and things like that it was just ridiculous so hopefully they've cleaned a few things up there but

Not to worry.

Providing a punter's perspective on Iowa football.

Tori, it's great to have you back again.

As I say every week, Bron, it's a pleasure.

So thank you.

Looking forward to it as always.

So when did you find out about your accolade for the fourth time in your career, Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week?

So yesterday I was going out to practice.

And so basically every Sunday they give out these.

like, awards, you know, like best offensive player, best defensive player, best special teams player.

And Cooper on Sunday, he was given the special teams player MVP, which I thought was more than fair enough.

I didn't think I had that good of a game at all, but whatever.

And then Lukla Shay actually came up to me before practice, and he's like, it's kind of crazy that, um, you know, big 10 special teams player of the week this week, but you couldn't even win the team MVP.

I'm like, what are you talking about?

And he's like, oh, it's up on the board already.

I saw it.

He's like, do you know what I said?

I said, nah, I had no idea.

And I was like, oh, well, like that's quite a surprise.

And then, you know, coach friends tells everyone after practice and everyone just, I don't know, goes crazy for a few seconds and claps.

And that's what I think really, but it wasn't really like a, it wasn't my best day, you know, I had a big return.

But I think at the end of the day, I was hitting the balls I wanted to be hitting, like the last few weeks, I've really been hitting a lot of balls that I want to hit, which is.

Yeah, which is a positive.

So potentially a question.

Yes.

I found that yesterday just before before practice.

I mean, besides the team giving you the adulation, do you get anything like a sheet of paper or something else that that says that?

Yeah, it's it's literally funny.

You say that I literally just got it there and one of the media guys from Iowa came up and gave it to me.

It's actually pretty cool.

I'm trying to find it.

I

mean, not that

the people would be able to see it.

It's just like a certificate.

Yeah.

So it's kind of cool.

Like, you know, like that stuff without trying to sound like a, like I've got a few of those and those are the things that I'll kind of hang up in my, you know, study or whatever one day.

And yeah, which is cool.

When you do have that study at some point later in life, what are some of the things that you'll keep from your college career at Iowa?

Probably definitely.

I got to hang up a couple of jerseys, a few photos.

There's a photo of Coach Woods and I, I think hugging up in Nebraska game.

That was a pretty cool photo.

So I'll try and enlarge that and frame that.

That would be cool.

And then just a little bit, little bits and pieces here or there.

Is it self serving to have a photo of you in action on the field?

I mean, is that something that you'd hold on to?

No, because I don't really like looking at like stuff for myself.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Yeah.

But maybe like a team peek a book on the team or the specials or something like that.

Yeah smart about that when we get to it

There was a special photo from it wasn't this game, but the last game where it's you drew and Long snapper helped me Luke, right?

Oh, like Elkin you guys are all doing this hand signal and I thought that was kind

of

a cool photo

Yeah, we do that.

We literally do that every he'll go if it guys in of close, right?

He's been

okay

this

year

this year has been okay.

Yeah

Yeah, he's being good too.

Six punts, 284 yards, 47.3 average, long as 61, two inside the 20.

And my friends, you registered up on the defensive side too, one solo tackle.

It's funny you say that because I went up to Coach Burns yesterday and I said, oh, you sure you got that right?

And he said, oh, what do you mean?

I said, oh, he said special teams player of the week, shouldn't it be defensive player of the week?

I got a tackle.

And he's like, he's like, oh, yeah, I'd rather you not have to do that.

Yeah,

I mean obviously you're wanting to protect them from getting a six when that's in your head when you see somebody coming at you because you don't do it a ton to have

a soul never done it before like the biggest return I think I've had before was probably Maybe 15 20 yards.

I'm not too sure I'm trying to think Because usually the boys do a pretty good job running down there and lighting them up

It happens.

Like it was one, it was one punt and it was a big return and the rest of the game, it was fine.

Did what we needed to do.

So if you were to say anyone on your particular team that you would say that you molded your tackling style after, who would that be?

No one.

I just saw him and push him into the side line.

Okay.

He was kind of heading that way anyway, but he was just inside and so I've got a solo tackle.

That's one thing that I can never take away from me, Brian.

And I would love to have that be a part of your study in the near future.

Maybe that's what I should do.

Tory Taylor tackles one and a half.

This particular game, you guys walk away with a W, but this one seemed to be more about the run game this time than it did about the passing game.

Maybe not by design, but it's kind of nice to have that run game going again, isn't it?

Yeah, absolutely.

You know, it wasn't the best of days probably from a reception point of view.

I mean I don't really know as long as the balls moving forward however they do it they do it but um yeah it was moving forward at some stages and still lots of things to clean up but overall yeah we got the W still wasn't our best game but we got the win and you can't remove on which we're doing.

Looking forward to Wisconsin you travel to Camp Randall.

Hostel environment up there at Camp Randall.

I've sat in the seats there.

Student section they you know arrive about I don't know midway through the second quarter usually but then they get really loud.

You're looking forward to the Camp Randall trip.

Yeah, I think it's a bit of an overrated stadium.

I don't really think it's that loud.

I played there in 2021 and they beat the breaks office and I was kind of a little bit disappointed with the atmosphere, but it might be different this time.

Or yeah, I really don't know.

I just thought it was weird that quarter of the crowd is not even there for the first quarter and then all of a sudden they kind of just show up.

But yeah, it's a weird place.

But it's fun to play.

Anywhere in the big can is fun to play.

Maybe not Ryan Field in Northwestern, no disrespect to them.

Certainly there's better fields in there, but yeah.

The student section I've heard compared to soccer crowds or football crowds before, would you agree or disagree to that student section statement?

I think the student section is pretty good, but it's kind of a little disappointing because as a specialist you got that'll warm up early and you know like Joe and I will kind of walk around and stare a few fans up and things like that, but you can't do that at Wisconsin because they're not there yet.

It was actually a little bit disappointing at Iowa State because they'd moved them.

Like when we, 2021, when you walked out of the tunnel right next to you, like literally right next to you.

So there was just, they were saying very nice things to you over the fence, but then this time they were over in the far corner.

So yeah, you didn't really hear them, hear them that much, but I love playing away games.

It's just fun.

Moving on from football, a poll of 1000 Americans.

looked at the sexiest accents in the world.

Any idea what might be the number one sexiest accent in the world according to this poll?

I would say Australia

or British.

Australian is correct.

Wow, there you go.

But is there a difference in the accents between different parts of Australia?

Not really.

Kind of like when you go out to the country, they use a lot more slang.

Um, accidents a little bit stronger.

I'll kind of compare it to here to the sale.

If that makes sense.

Like you kind of go out to country or strata, they talk a bit more of a stronger accent.

I'm not from the country or anything like that.

So, but you know, if I'm, I feel I'm out at the bars or something and I'm trying to impress someone I walk, I'll put on a bit of a stronger accent.

Wait, you're putting on an accent sometimes?

No, but I'll, I'll over exaggerate it.

Do you include words that you typically wouldn't say?

Sometimes, yeah.

Because then they go, oh my god, what does that mean?

Yeah, OK.

Yeah.

You know what it's like,

Brian.

Oh, yeah.

No, I don't have a wonderful accent.

My accent is not the sexiest accent right now.

It's the guy that's on the other end of this.

Do you have any idea what the rest of the top five might include as far as sexy accents?

I would say the British accent has got to be up there.

OK.

Definitely ones in the UK.

I don't want the New Zealand accent, do they?

It's interesting that you mentioned the New Zealand accent because in the same study, a New Zealand accent was figured to be the second most confident sounding accent.

Why is that?

What was first?

Boston.

Yeah, I don't know.

That's bizarre, actually.

Um, I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know how to answer that.

That's, yeah, that's strange to the truth.

I really don't know.

Obviously an Australian accent is nothing to you because that's just normal But what would you say for you is the sexiest accent?

I really like the European accent on girls I think somewhere from you know like whether a big Denmark or something like that Yeah, I really like the European accent.

I think

You know in the UK it depends on where you go, but I really like the scouse accent So like when you kind of go to Merzy, so I don't live a pool and things like that Which is northwest England I really like that.

It's a very very strong accent kind of a bit hard to understand But I find I find that very attractive.

So I find the southern accent here very attractive, too

Which one's

your favorite?

Yeah, I'm more like probably like the Alabama, Georgia kind of vibe

You haven't been down in that area very often.

Have you?

Haven't never interesting What is I've got to and maybe this is why we get along so well I think the Irish and the Australian accent or Irish and Australian people will tell you like it is and Yeah shy away from it.

We've heard that on this jock-to-jock show.

Yeah, I think that's just it's really just a yeah the way people are in a show, you know, it's kind of same same in England

when I went I was fortunate enough to go there in March and yeah it was kind of the same there like everyone just you know tells the truth and his truth and is pretty honest and upfront with you which I kind of I've always enjoyed and liked that aspect because especially here at Iowa playing football it's just easier to live someone telling you the truth you know

Right.

And some people, we don't really like that.

Some people like shit, sugar coat and things like that.

And that's fine.

But then at the end of the day, I feel like you don't really grow from that as a person, as a player, as a teammate.

And it's interesting.

One thing my dad always says to me, he's always just said, you can never, ever, ever get in trouble for telling the truth.

You

know what I mean?

So, and that's just one thing that I always, always stand by.

Well, if you tell the truth, you don't have to remember what you lied about, too, right?

Exactly.

Interesting that the Scottish accent made the list on the top five.

It was, what, number two as the sexiest accent, most romantic, seductive, that was also number two, and the funniest accent in the world, Canadian, followed by Scottish.

Oh, there you go.

So everyone likes the Scots, huh?

Yeah.

I

uh they're a bit crazy the scots

yeah

i met a couple of scots at a game while i was over there and they're just out of control

for

no you want to talk about talking or saying anything that comes to mind man did it make you blush i'll just no i was kind of just sitting there just gone holy s*** yeah these guys are pretty flawed i must say it is so weird here this obsession people have with the Australian accent

It's just weird.

Like I find it bizarre I'm just like, you know, we were in the hotel on Friday night and There was someone in the lobby and they said, oh, can you take a video of me saying your name?

And I said no, no, no, I'm not doing that I'll get a photo and they're like, oh, please, please, please, please.

And I said, oh Okay, I'll do it But and I'm just that's just weird like you wouldn't do that where I'm from but so people just had this weird obsession with

I guess accidents here really but at the same time I kind of get that you know I'm the only Australian in the in the middle of the state of Iowa

With that being said you have several of you said your mates in other locations.

Have you had exchange stories about how?

They're treated is it the same for them as it is for you where they're getting people I'll say my name into my phone that kind of thing

Yeah, especially in a college town

I don't mean to be talking about the dude this week at Wisconsin, what it's like there in Madison.

I don't know.

Girls love accents.

I'm not sure what it is.

Well, and especially the Australian accent, ladies.

Yeah.

Tory Taylor will not say it into your phone, but we'll take a photo with you.

Yeah, there you go.

You ready for dumbass or drongo?

Sure.

You've done very well.

Got four for four last week.

That included the two bonus points.

So we'll start with this story.

41-year-old woman, she got drunk, got arrested, outside of a mattress store where she decided to attack the mascot named Maddie.

She started by giving him hugs and quickly became aggressive.

We don't have mascots in Australia, so that's dumbass.

Why don't you have us mascots in Australia?

I mean we do but like no one would say that say I know you're reading it from a newspaper article.

Okay, so I'm gonna take a wild guess that that's Well, not a wild guess.

I'm a very confident guess that that's dumb ass

Well, let me read the second story and then you can completely be confident like you got your solo tackle this week Yep, common to see dogs walked But not to see a chook being led around the block by its owner

The chook with a small red harness on gets to strut down the footpath turning heads along the way

And

why is that

I don't know I could just say someone we'd are doing that in

Australia Final answer on both.

Yep.

You got two points there Let's go now.

This is where it becomes difficult for Tori

You gotta give me

a clue.

I'm going

to I'm good.

Yeah, I'm ready.

I'm ready

The city where the mascot was assaulted was Durango.

Durango.

Do you know what state that's in?

It sounds Australian, doesn't it?

A little bit Durango.

I don't know.

Okay.

By another clue, please.

Yes.

The state is known for its mountains.

Colorado?

Uh...

It's somewhere around there.

I know I'm gonna go with Colorado.

Colorado is correct.

Oh Thank God.

I knew it was somewhere out that way.

All right Now I'll have to give you the name of the town and see if you can give me the state For the chook being let around which is actually I learned I believe Australian slang for chicken.

Yep Logan

No idea you're gonna have to give me more than that Brian.

I don't have much more to give you

Baronia Heights in Logan because if I do anything else that I've given you everything I can I'm just looking for the state in Australia here,

please.

There is a Baronia in Victoria.

I know that.

I'll go with Victoria.

No, that could be not because there's a Baronia in Victoria, but I reckon there's one somewhere else, but I just don't know.

New South Wales?

No, not New South Wales.

This one is in Southeast Queensland because remember I told you last week I was trying to find something from somewhere else.

I found one Southeast of Brisbane Baronia Heights

Logan

is Southeast Queensland.

So you got three out of four this week Tori.

That's a good job on your dumb

ass Yes,

25%

there you

go.

Not bad.

You started off a little

tough,

but yeah things looking good any final things to say to

the audience of the jock to jock podcast as we're heading into the Wisconsin game and finishing out this episode here.

Like always appreciate being on and I appreciate everyone listening and I hope they learn a little bit more.

I bet I guess about who I am as a player and person and things like that.

And I really always really enjoyed doing this and from a football point of view, just know that, you know, sometimes things don't go our way, but we still want to win and we're doing everything we can.

So I hope everyone enjoys this weekend.

one other takeaway I had from the episode, please do not go up to Tori and ask him to say your name into your

phone.

Yes, thank

you.

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

We'll recap the Wisconsin game next week and obviously get into some more shenanigans or whatever you call it in Australia.

I'm not going to ask Tori to record it into my phone though.
