Wow, congrats. For as much as people rip Montana for being in the middle of nowhere, it would probably be great to live there if you are at least near a bigger city (which you are).

Heard nothing but good stuff for living out there. Sadly my job pretty much dictates that I be by a major airport.
No thanks. I'm perfectly comfortable sitting in my air conditioning and not dealing with snow or negative temps.
I don't miss winter. 7 months of that shit is more than enough. But I do like distinct seasons, which includes a little ark-opening melting of humanity. That summer a few years ago that had like one day touch 90 degrees felt like the biggest rip-off since probably whatever Wild postseason preceded it, and it was bookended by winters that didn't give a Gandhi shit about weather karma. Anyways, whatever the extreme weather, just follow the simple rule of Don't Lick The f***ing Driveway and you'll be fine. Rule also valid in mild weather.

As someone without central air in their apartment, I'll take winter over this crap any day of the week.

I don't mind it being this hot at all really. Nor do I mind it when its -20 outside. But in 20-30yrs you will for sure hear me cussing up a storm about the weather.

I'm pretty used to this coming from living in Houston for the last 15ish years on and off, but I'll be damned if I didn't step outside today and say "Holy shit, that's warm!"
I'm with some of you guys though, I prefer it to be in the 50s-60s at times over supreme heat and humidity. Both extremes of the temperature scale can kindly go away though.

The thing is, extreme heat makes you want to do... nothing! Too fricking hot, must move as little as possible.
When it's -20°f, it gets your blood flowing and makes you want to move move move!
I LOVE that energizing feeling that comes with stepping out into the freezing cold in the dead of winter!
I just picked up a NES from Walmart.
I can't wait to hear the kid howl when she dies in Mario and has to start over from the beginning.

Want to really frustrate her? Find a way for her to play Battletoads! Much tougher game from back in those days, and still got sent to the beginning once out of lives!I just picked up a NES from Walmart.

I didn't know anyone who failed to beat Mario brothers, yet none of them were ever able to beat battletoads!
Such a frustratingly fun game it was!

I don't mind some of the guys on the PT. Meatsauce and Hawkey are horrible. I got into Barstool podcasts a few years ago and haven't looked back.

Oh man, Barstool *shudders*. Powertrip is the only KFAN show I listen to mostly the entire thing every day. Probably since they don't talk about sports hardly at all. Usually skip PA except during hockey season, then I'll check in with Common 12-3.
My goodness, the heat though. Few friends and I did our annual golf trip this past weekend...and it was almost unbearable at times. Played Friday-Tuesday 18 each day...Friday here in MN but then drove to WI/Madison area to play a few courses over there. We stopped at the new Sand Valley resort and it looks incredible. We only played their 17 hole 'short' course and that was still ~$70...with the longest hole being about 130 or so. I think the main courses (Sand Valley/Mammoth Dunes) are at least ~$250 or so? Would be quite an experience to play them all. In the parking lot did see a nice car with the license plate that had a Blackhawks logo saying 'MGMT' so that was pretty interesting...would management type guys actually have a license plate that said that?
After that we played Lawsonia Links, University Ridge, The Oaks and Wild Rock (by the Dells). All were pretty nice to play...my play wasn't very good but the courses themselves were pretty sweet. Then we hung out in Madison in the mornings and nights...it's a really cool place over there as I'm sure many already know. All in all, successful trip even though we all nearly melted.
Next year on to the Brainerd area

.Guess this just depends on age? I'm close in age to 3 out of the 4. And I listen to it moreso for their guests than what they are actually saying. The fact they don't dive too hard into things like political or religious crap (like Tom Benard loves to do) is great. They have enough sports to keep you in the know of what happened the prior day, but not so much time on it that you press em to stop.
The only issue I have with KFAN in general is that it is naturally 90% Vikings crap. About the only time they GAF about the Wild (or any other sport) is if one of the players is going to be on the show, or its playoffs. Even in the NFL off-season, all they talk about are the hot rumors going on around what the Vikings are doing. Or what other football players are doing. Everything else takes a seat.

Podcasts and music from my phone only for me, can’t stand any of the morning shows, or most radio in general.
Well I'm only 26, but acting like idiots on the radio is just not my sense of humor. Give me Barrairo all day.
I'm tuned out of most everything. I wouldn't even know where to find a podcast. I like peas for a pod, does that count? The talking heads either on tv or the radio just don't interest me.
The only decent Talking Heads:

A big reason why I like Barstool is they are great at playing characters that are easy to hate and love at the same time. Bumbling idiot is a perfect description for most of their hosts. I don't listen to the main show as much, but PMS, SC, ZBT, and PMT are great for me. I can't stand Common or Barreiro anymore. They have officially moved into the "old man yells at cloud" group for me.Oh man, Barstool *shudders*. Powertrip is the only KFAN show I listen to mostly the entire thing every day.

I help my dad with fireworks shows over the 3-4th of July every year and this year was more brutal than the previous few. Even though almost all shows are done electrically the setup is still all manual. It wasn't even that hot temperature wise as how high the damn humidity was. I'd take a day when it's 95-100 with 10%> humidity than a 80 degree with 80% humidity.
