A huge part of the Stephanie Miller show is groveling for premium content subscriptions and online "show" tickets. How expensive is pool and garden maintenance in Hollywood?
A downward spiral into Brin Hartman is evident with the shooting of darts at staff.

No idea who she is but you can be sure she is in it for the money.

I listen to Sirius in the car but music only No talk shows, a half dozen
music channels for oldies, classical, blues, etc, depending on my mood.

Same here!

Any idea what the cost is to have Sirius for the house, too? I'm afraid to
ask them when I renew. Hahahahaaaa

Last time I was due to renew I called and asked about a cheaper plan. I
was looking to save a few bucks but them made ma an offer much better
than I asked for,
They gave me about 50% off the price. Then they sent me a coupon code
for an Amazon Dot. In addition, I bought a small speaker that I could
plug into it. I also have the Sirius app on my phone.

I like to listen to music when I go to bed. I turn on the speaker that
is plugged into the Dot. "Alexa, play SiriusXM channel XX"

Once the music starts, I just say "Alexa, stop in one hour" and the
music plays for the time I stated.

I also have a plug for the system and a bedroom lamp plugged into it.
Once in bed, "Alexa, turn off bedroom" and off it goes.

My living room light is the same setup but set to go on and off at a set
time, though I can do it by voice too if I want.

Yeah, so Jeff Bezos knows what time I go to bed.

Interesting story, Ed. Alexa would be perfect for someone
with no arms.

Would be fun to experiment with that.
Try, "Alexa, what are you wearing?"

If they offer a "no censor" option, answer might be interesting.

I have Alexa too and one day realised she is simply my intelligent
radio :) I like to listen to the radio at night and simply tell her
to play 'classic fm' or DW Germany, or Australian BC etc. and with a
slight delay she finds them all.

Say Alexa turn off. The light ring turns red like it is pissed off.
How does it turn back on if pissed off and off?

Alexa says "I don't need clothes for me"

Well if you hear news of LA radio host going "Brynn Hartman", there's your suspect.
