I arrived at the early show at 4:45 am. I worked the cameras, phones, and recordings. We also had a bigger audience this day so I was running back and forth trying to make them comfortable.
Wednesday March 25, 2015
I arrived for the early at 4:45 am. Adler wasn't there this day because he was having nose surgery so we did a segment on him. Another intern and I got to be on air for a minute talking about how none of us knew Adler was going to have surgery today.
Towards the end of the regular show, I messed up the recording. That was frustrating.
We also had Ron Collier, a comedian in the Birmingham area, as a guest speaker. It was great to hear his story and laugh.

Days Eighteen and Nineteen (Hours 85 - 95)
March 9, 2015
This day I arrived at the studio at 4:45 a.m. and started the early show with Speedy, Helmsey, and Greg. After more interns arrived, I worked with Adler on cameras. Mainly, I helped switch the cameras from person to person depending on who's talking. I also helped with graphics by giving the audience a picture of what the guys are talking about on the show. I learned what keys to press in order for the picture to show up through the Heartland Network and what keys worked the graphics on the bottom of the screen. For example, their Facebook and Twitter accounts and their website.

I didn't do much this day. I arrived later than normal. I didn't get the chance to work the early show like I normally do, but I still made it through the normal six to ten show. I worked the cameras, phones, and the recordings.

Days Sixteen and Seventeen ( Hours 75 - 85)
March 2, 2015
This day was Dr. Seuss Day at the studio so, of course, Bubba brought out the Dr. Seuss hat. I arrived at 4:45 am for the early show. During the 8 o'clock hour, we had a local kindergarten class come to the studio so Rick could read the Green Eggs and Ham book live on the radio. The students were able to sit in the audience. During this time, I helped Adler work the cameras and the graphics for the Heartland Network.
March 4, 2015
I arrived at the studio at 4:45 am for the early show and was able to spend some time talking on air about my Garmin Connect watch and Helmey's Fitbit. I was able to share a little bit of my experience with my watch and how it motivates me to keep moving daily.
I also recorded and helped Adler with graphics and cameras.

Day Fifteen (Hours 70 - 75)
February 23, 2014
This day was pretty awesome! I arrived at 4:45 am and helped work the early show. I recorded the show and phone screened. I also helped Speedy get stories together for the day. We had a guest caller at the 8 o'clock hour. Our guest caller was Donnie Osmond. He called to talk about his new greatest hits album. He also mentioned working with Michael Jackson when he was younger.
During his hour, I worked behind the scenes to help Adler prepare pictures to display of Donnie Osmond for the televised audience to see.

Days Thirteen and Fourteen (Hours 60 - 70)
Monday February 16, 2015
This day was quite memorable because I messed up while I was helping produce the show. I put someone on the show that I knew wasn't going to be an asset to the show. But I've learned from my mistake. I also helped Adler with the television production behind the scenes.
Wednesday February 18, 2015
This day started out as a normal day, where I began as a recorder for the show. I helped produce at the top of the second hour where we had a special guest call in....Rand Paul. The guys asked him some very important political questions and very importantly if he is going to run for President in 2016.
We also had guest stars at the top of the last hour, Bethany and Andy Phillips. Bethany is a Country-gospel singer and Andy is a former professional baseball player. They came to the show to tell their testimonies and promote Bethany's new album.

Day Twelve - February 11, 2015
The first time since I've been interning at the Rick and Bubba Show...I was late because apparently I kept hitting snooze on my phone and didn't realize it until ten minutes before I had to leave. Franticly throwing on clothes and fixing my hair, I remembered what one of the past interns to me...never be late. Speeding and putting on make-up is definitely dangerous at 4:30 in the morning. I arrived ten minutes late, but realized that no one really noticed because we were having technical difficulties for the early show. That made it a little better. While the show wasn't on air, I realized how important the early show is to listeners. I had many calls asking about the guys and making sure they were okay, which I thought was awesome. It just proves how important a radio newscast is when you have listeners who work that early in the morning. Once the show was up and running, I worked with Adler more on graphics for the live television show. This is for people who watch the show through Ustream, or the iHeart radio app.

Days Nine and Ten (hours 40 - 50)
Day Nine - February 2, 2015
Day nine was a normal day at the office except it was the morning after the Super Bowl which was a huge topic for the show. The topic was popular for The Rick and Bubba audience. For me, I rotated with the other interns on the phones, recording the show, and operating the cameras. I also got to learn more about what Adler does for the show. He is the television producer. I watched how he puts video together for the website and social media accounts.
Day Ten - February 4, 2015
I started the day out in the call room taking calls for the early show and the Rick and Bubba Show. I also recorded and operated cameras for the show. This day was probably a more boring day, but everything went smoothly as far as all that I had to do.
