The "dog days of summer" refers to the time of the year when the dog
star, Sirius, is brightest in the sky.
ancient Greeks and Romans who associated the hottest days of summer
with the star Sirius, the brightest star in the constellation Canis
Major (the Great Dog)

You seem as sycophantic as Jill to Ed. You know that you're not going
to get a cock, but any warm fuzziness is better than nothing. It's not
Ed's fault. He's just the nicest guy here who is not in a relationship.
I'm not even saying that it makes you wet. You may have left that stuff
far behind.

I have a satellite radio in my car. I don't use it.
I have USB sticks loaded with various genres of music and one with
comedy podcasts. I have also started using BlueTooth to listen to
podcasts via my phone.

I had satellite radio for 6 months when I bought the car but didn't
renew. Of the hundreds of channels, none interested me enough to renew.

If you have a bunch of CDs of music you like you can rip them and copy
them to USB sticks.

The Infiniti is capable of getting Sirius. It has a button for it. The Acura probably is too, but I've never noticed. I have never paid for satellite radio. I haven't listened to commercial radio in this
century, with the exception of a few Cardinals games. We also have
never had cable TV, and with one exception, I haven't hooked up the
rabbit ears since the Cardinals were in the World Series in 2013. We've
been members of our local public radio station for 30+ years, and have a
PBS membership because my wife watches some British baking show on the internet. The only other media we pay for is the NY Times, and the Criterion Channel. Commercial media is aimed at people who are weak
minded enough to be influenced by commercials, and that's reflected in
the quality of the programming.

We like to use the term "Orange Shit Stain"
It's more polite, and also much more accurate.
I'm not surprised at all Bryan that you don't have satellite radio
or cable TV as those are never to be found in the marked down bin.
NY Times, don't make me laugh, but bozo brain, 90% of what I watch
on TV is DVR'd and it's rare, rare indeed that I see commercials
as I zip past them like they're the plague. I have all the sugary
sweet, drippy channels like Hallmark and such blocked.

Only thing I watch in real time is the 6 o'clock news.
The cable company (Spectrum) provides Music Choice also. About a dozen channels with various types of music. The Easy Listening channel is
similar to Escape on Sirius, but they have something for everyone.
Part of my TV routine is Saturday breakfast watching Real Time with Bill Maher and Monday breakfast with John Oliver, Last Week Tonight.
I like some of the crime shows like Forensic Files

I listen to audiobooks from my phone, plugged into the USB port in
my car. I can also answer calls hands-free.
