Hammer and Nigel.

SPEAKER_2 (0:01)

Do you believe these characters?

Nigel (0:02)

They're weird of us.

Hello, my name is Nigel. Jason Hammer right over there. Yeah, the colder weather has arrived. Welcome to November. It was fun while it lasted. The nice temperatures, the mild days here in the past few months. Right, Hammer? And now, it's like, yeah, I'm wearing a hood over my hat in the parking lot going to the car because I'm a wuss.

Jason Hammer (0:37)

And honestly, by November standards, you know, mid-November, it's not that bad. But we've been so spoiled lately with like 70 degree sunshine days that this feels like it's something that they experience in January in Minnesota, but it's really not that bad. And next week, I guess it's going to warm back up again. Like, I'm looking at the extended forecast here.

This time next week, temperature is going to be around 66

Nigel (1:04)

All right.

Jason Hammer (1:04)

Take that.

Nigel (1:05)

OK.

Jason Hammer (1:05)

Hell, by Monday, we're back in the 50s again, even though the low is around 28

So those three to four hours, we actually have sunlight now. It's going to be great. But then when the sun goes down, like at approximately 430, because of stupid daylight saving time, that's when the temperatures drop.

Nigel (1:24)

I got to sleep in, though, a couple of weeks ago, and that was great.

Jason Hammer (1:29)

Better been the best damn hour of your life. Best freaking hour ever.

But look, if you're going to one of those high school football games tonight, I know there's a big one between Warren Central and Center Grove, two big powers. You'll need to bundle up. They'll want a hoodie, maybe a jacket as well.

Nigel (1:48)

I remember previous years where I was just bundled like with hats and gloves and winter coats and everything, going to the going to the Zionsville games at this time of year back then. And I was still freezing my butt off.

Jason Hammer (2:05)

The goal of a high school football team is you start the year and you're sweating your butt off. Yeah.

If you keep playing at the end, you're going to be freezing your butt off. Like that's the sign of a good team. If you're still playing this time of year and then next week and then ultimately, you know, that Thanksgiving weekend with the state finals, then you are doing something right. And then for the college games on Saturday, I think we got the Monon Bell game going on.

Nigel (2:31)

Yeah.

Jason Hammer (2:32)

Big one down in Bloomington. IU hosting USC.

And look, I know not everybody likes to sit outside in bad weather, but if I'm an IU fan, the colder the better because USC, these kids from Southern California, they do not like to play in the cold.

Nigel (2:51)

Such a good point.

Jason Hammer (2:52)

There's a reason why they make the schedule change with Notre Dame because they don't want to go to Notre Dame late in the year. But in other years, it's perfectly fine to play that the last game of the year when it's in California.

Nigel (3:04)

Right.

Jason Hammer (3:05)

But yeah, since they've joined the Big Ten, they've had to put their big boy panties on and play in some cold games. Now, this won't be cold, but kick off at around 3.3 tomorrow in Bloomington will be around 44 But by the time the sun goes down, you're talking about temperatures in the thirties, and we'll see if these kids from USC are ready for that.

Nigel, were you affected by the Microsoft outage?

Nigel (3:33)

Wasn't everybody? This was like a worldwide thing. I remember asking our IT team about it when I couldn't get on my email and they were just looking at me like, yeah, we have nothing to do with that. It's not our fault.

We don't have anything. We don't know. We don't know.

Jason Hammer (3:49)

And they look at you like you're such a dumbass when you ask a question. Excuse me, Nick, we don't really know what to do here. We can't send Allison clips and we can't share the rundown that we created.

Colin Medine (4:04)

What do you want us to do about it?

Jason Hammer (4:06)

They walk away smoking a stogie, laughing at you.

Nigel (4:12)

But yeah, it was a worldwide thing, man. And it was not just us. It was, yeah, my wife works for a corporation. They were down and it was like a snow day is what I'm being told for a lot of people. Oh, Microsoft Outlook down.
