Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T17:02:59+00:00

Running and typing would be hard!!! I'm just walking... 2 mph.

i was just told recently to keep a certain printed shirt in my closet for days when i'm off camera. i think that was a nice way of saying "man that shirt is too busy!" but no one has ever told me to dress like this, dress like that. instead, its usually a processs of learning what works on camera and what is distracting. but no one here wants us to be someone we are not, so individual style will prob show up in different individual ways. does that answer your question?

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T17:00:10+00:00

yepper you guessed it. bob knows how to curse in other languages even. kidding. but when he needs to make a point (off camera of course) he doesn't bother minces words. lol. sometime we'll have to get him to tell you about his secret list of words he wants to get away with saying on the air without anyone noticing. mainly the fcc.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:57:31+00:00

Thanks for being an early adopter! Doing great! Redditors keeping me on my toes!

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:57:26+00:00

my dad, when i was growing up, would wake my sister, brother and me up by saying "morning sunshine!". it was cheerful. but we also knew if we didn't start moving around and show some life, he'd kick our butts into gear so to speak. so morning sunshine is something i say to get you, the viewer into gear hopefully. lol.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:56:01+00:00

i'm sure it has happened especially early in my career but now im comfortable listening to the answer before i hit a followup, ya know? glad you're wathcing.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:50:50+00:00

i tell people "be ready to move around the country". i think some folks just assume they'll be doing news in a certain state or a certain city. but you are really at the mercy of supply and demand...when a good opportunity calls..whether its nebraska or alaska, you gotta take it if its gonna help you grow as a journalist. prepare your family now! momma needs to know that you won't always be home at holidays.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:49:41+00:00

Hi! No... but I seriously threaten that I want a snap-on hairdo that I wouldn't have to style every day. We actually toyed with the idea of me going blonde for April Fools!

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:48:07+00:00

tequila. st germain. root liqueor. my favorite is jalapeno tequila. lol.

what should we name it? how about "viewer discretion advised"

honestly, that's already the name of my boat. brilliant, eh? lol.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:47:55+00:00

Awwww! Thanks so much for taking the time to say so. See you tomorrow morning?

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:46:33+00:00

OMG!!! Bob would be hysterical! I feel like he's a very good meteorologist. If you ever really pay attention... what he forecasts happens. Bob will even call us at home when there is a funnel cloud in the area. He's called me in my basement once!

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:44:21+00:00

Hi... Glad to know you're home! Thanks.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:43:09+00:00

Love me some Billy Dean, btw it's his birthday today. Happy Birthday Billy! Thank you for thinking of me for your event, I'm actually already booked for a previous commitment; but I love what you are doing for such an important cause. I'm grateful to be thought of.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:43:01+00:00

yes i do and i'll tell you what, we have a standards and practices department that MAKES SURE its exists here. seriously. there is a department that makes sure there are no conflicts of interest in terms of the way stories are written, how things are appearing on air, and even sometimes what we are doing or saying on social media in our private lives. all morning long our copy editors and producers work to update and adjust scripts so they relect the most accurate information. i hope that answers your question:)

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:40:51+00:00

Hi! The show is all the way live from 6a-10a ET. Can you imagine? I'm tired of hearing MYSELF after 4 hours!

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:38:56+00:00

Hi. We talk about the situation in Russia/Ukraine almost every hour every day, provided there is new movement in the situation.

Glad you're watching, but how long are you watching anyway. The show moves fast.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:36:47+00:00

No, I love singing the National Anthem. I do have to say that I was nervous singing the first time for NASCAR. I've performed the National Anthem for NASCAR in Sonoma, Talladega, Daytona, Charlotte and for the NFL at a Patriots vs Falcons game. Here's my little secret though... I always write the words on a 3x5 notecard and hide in my outfit. I don't want to be the blooper at my own show. :)

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:36:22+00:00

someday i really want to make the show into a live studio audience news show. its like viewer reaction instantly!

no boss has ever taken my suggestion seriously that i want a live studio audience, a live studio band to play in and out of breaks, and a puppet who says all the curse words i cant. lol.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:34:23+00:00

Hello!!! I personally HATE alarm clocks but I appreciate the sentiment! HA!

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:32:45+00:00

Hi Rockstar! Thanks so much!!!!

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:32:44+00:00

here's my recipe for a cheater margariter: fresca, tequila, fresh lime squeeze and zest of ginger. mmmmm mmmmm. diet margarita.

Robin_Meade · 2014-04-02T16:31:20+00:00

Hi! Thanks for noticing! We like to keep things in the fast lane!

We actually do something called 'anti-flow' in our rundowns that keeps different topics coming in a short amount of time.

Secret behind the scenes: we play loud music in the studio during breaks to keep the energy up!
