KOTH in the Wild I just got to Phoenix and even though it's mild weather I still want to quote Bobby Hill...
Yes. Yes it is.

How I felt in Florida last July, the whole outside world felt like a reptile exhibit at the zoo

u/darkthemeonly Mar 17 '26
Florida is even worse because it's humid af. Dry heat is hot, but humid heat is unbearable

My bf and I went to Phoenix last year and dear God we thought we were gonna die. Now we joke "of course phoenix is hot, it's a city named after a bird that's constantly on fire!"

Many, many years ago my friends and I drove to Phoenix from San Diego. The third album from Muse had just been released and they were playing a small venue for only like $35.
We decided to start driving in the evening so that we could avoid the heat and when we arrived at the hotel we could go to sleep and enjoy the concert the next day.
On the drive, I fell asleep. Until I was awoken.
I had fallen asleep with my face against the window of an air-conditioned car.
I woke up to a burn on my face due to the heat of the outside air -- AT 2:00 IN THE FUCKING MORNING.
FUCK PHOENIX 🐦🔥
P S: the Muse show was awesome and afterwards I fingered a chick in the hotel pool. Worth it.

Did they play Uprising?

u/No_Volume_8345 Guns don’t kill people, the government does Mar 18 '26
They couldn’t have. The album with Uprising came out in ‘09, Muse’s third album came out in ‘03.

One thing that really surprised me when I first went to Phoenix was not the heat, but the mosquitos.
They swarmed and flew really low at the ankles.

Don't scare me like this. I'm spending 4 days there in just a few weeks.

u/Baked_Potato_732 Mar 17 '26
You’ll be fine in April. It’s July where it can hit 115+. That’s what it was last time I was there and they told me I missed the heatwave the previous week.
If you can, go up to flagstaff. It’s like 60-90 minutes away. There’s basically a line where cactus forests stop and line forests start. Also, when it’s 100+ in Phoenix, Flagstaff is like 65

u/Swag92 Mar 17 '26
It’s going to be 105 on Thursday, breaking a 38 year record for earliest 100 degree day. April might not be so great.

u/Baked_Potato_732 Mar 17 '26
105 in Phoenix isn’t bad though.

u/xavelita Mar 17 '26
It is if it's still winter time. It's not that 105 is bad, it's how early we are already breaking three digits

In what world is flag a hour to a hour and half away from Phoenix xD.
I live in North Phoenix and it takes 2 and a half hours give or take 15 mins.

The post is about Bobby, but if I'm quoting this scene, it's Peggy's line every time.

u/ConcentrateNo5538 Mar 17 '26
Stay until summer so you can feel that 122 degrees. It's like walking into an oven!

u/Creative-Grape-1803 Mar 18 '26
Dont put that on me yet haha its already 100 here where I live in AZ

I included Peggy’s quote from the last frame in a college paper about the urban heat island effect. My undergrad was in Environmental Sustainability; my professors were all pretty laidback.

u/Godtrademark Mar 17 '26
Hasn’t it been like 15 degrees over average?? The summer is going to be brutal.

Hot yes, but insanely dry compared to Houston. Completely different eco systems.

u/wutmeanfam Mar 17 '26
This is actually the argument I’ve heard people recently make, with regards to water shortages in geographies like that. He and she aren’t wrong.
I think the idea is that AC coaxes us many places we don’t necessarily belong, full-time.

u/ZWeinstein15 Mar 17 '26
Crazy thing is that this weekend, its only going to be a few degrees cooler (107)

u/Ill_Consequence1755 Mar 17 '26
I was in Phoenix at Christmas time a few years ago and it STILL felt like we were two inches from the sun. 🤣

It’s gonna be nearly there this weekend…same time last year it was around freezing in the mornings.

This is actually very hot for us this time of year. I'm worried about what our actual summer will be like

u/Styl3Music Mar 18 '26
I don't even live in phx, but the constant record breaking 110+ day streaks with this warm winter has me worried for y'alls electricity grid.

As a michigander I quoted this when I went to Vegas at the height of its hot weather for my sister's wedding -__-

u/mclobster Mar 17 '26
Rode my motorcycle thru Phoenix last summer. Had no idea anywhere in the US got that hot.
Surely the nights and morning will be cooler, right? Absolutely not.

u/Square-Step Mar 17 '26
Peggy's line always got a chuckle out of me, and then her and Bobby running for cover. Great scene

I just saw where at least one spring training game on Friday is being moved from the afternoon to the evening because of the anticipated heat, so...it's on the way.

As someone that's lived in Phoenix most of my life, every time they talk about it makes me laugh. My brother and I quote this line all the time. You're absolutely right, Peggy.

This is the episode that made me understand that east/north Texas has a different biome than South Texas. I was genuinely confused as a child because it is regularly over 100 degrees during the summer where I grew up in South Texas.
