Meal for busy parts that is just six ingredients. It has shrimp and pasta. And butter. Better than butter. All right. Then time for hoda to make another dream come true. These have been wonderful this week. Theyre fun to do. We feature a story who worked tirelessly in his community. He doesnt want any praise for it. Wait until you see who surprises him. Also, two ladies on the big apple get away are going to head home with gorgeous new looks. Our ambush Makeover Team finishes their magic. American idol, now country sensation Lauren Elaina has a bold new look and sound. Shes doing great. Shes going to sing her new song for us that she happened to cowrite with Megan Trainor. Shes in good company. All right. So the verdict is in on ryan lochte. Can we wait on that for one moment . I want to thank everybody coming out yesterday to win foot country club and golf course. I went with my friend ann. Jewelry, paintings and things. And my friend riri had her gorgeous jewelry. I had my stuff. A large portion of the sales went to childrens hospital. So lovely ladies. That is a painting that ive been waiting for two years for. Ann just finished that and i hung it in my guest room two weeks ago. Its gorgeous. Its like four feet by six feet tall. Isnt it gorgeous . She does incredible work. She has stationery, too. If you cant buy a painting, can you get stationery. Now ryan lochte. Okay, we hear reports there are reports that he has received his punishment for all the stuff that happened in rio, remember the incident with the gas station when he said that he was robbed at gun point and covered up some altercation. Anyway, so we understand that the verdict is he is suspended for ten months from swimming. United States Olympic Committee will not officially confirm that but a usa swimming has indicated that something will be announced today. Some people are saying its not actually a fair judgement because well, michael phelps, do you remember when he was busted for dui twice . Yeah. He ended up getting a six month suspension. So the question was is ryan lochtes too severe for what he did . There are two ways you can look at it. One is ryan harmed the reputation of a country and it tainted how the u. S. Was viewed there at the olympic games. Michael phelps was offseason. Not that its okay. He could have endangered people, obviously. He was arrest ford drinking and driving. So anyway, thats again we would love to know what you think if youd like to go to our facebook and let us know. What do you think, hoda . It seems a bit harsh. When i was in rio and realized how devastating it was to the people there and working so hard and youre like ugh, why . Lets move on from that, if you dont mind. Yeah. All right. There is more fun. This is kind of a little bit weird. There is very weird. We dont even like saying the word, do we . You can a urinate if you prefer. Do you ever get urination anxiety . You know you go to the doctor and say fill up the cup and you dont have to go . I always hate to put my name on it. T because people can come in and do something with it. I dont i just do what . I dont know. It just shouldnt be sitting around. Put it right outside the ladys room door. The whole thing is weird. So mel b, she had to perform on command when she was on that show. So here is the story. He got stung about a jellyfish. Yes. He was catching it so they and he got stung. Some people believe that urination helps when getting stung by a jellyfish. Here, watch. Were going to show it . Yes i dont want to tee on myself. Ready . Oh, no. No. No. No. No. Pee on demand when somebody is in pain is very difficult. Almost. This is nasty. Its not coming. Come on. There we go. Oh, my god there we go. Ugh. Okay. There you go. Dont say i never did anything for you. She saved my life. No, give me five. Thats the other hand. Ewww. One more reason im not going to do that show. I know. I know. By the way, in case you wonder, the medical unit, they say she didnt have to do that. That urine does not cure a jellyfish sting. That is a myth. They think that maybe it can actually make things worse and the jellyfish wont like it. It may make the jellyfish release more toxins. Heres the thing, i would think that when youre near the ocean when there are waves. You know Running Water does make you go. Like when you hear water running. Dont you feel like sometimes you dont have to go and then youre at the ocean and youre like, oh, my gosh, i have to go back in. Sometimes if i cant sleep, i put on the sleep machine thing and i have waves. Do you . Yeah. Sometimes i run the faucet if i need to go and i cant. I just let it run and then running it makes me go. Okay. Dont even say it. Im not. Im not going to. I get in trouble all the time. Because of my musical tastes. We cant hear it though. I can. I can hear it. Oh, now i can, yeah. Were wasting water. We have a show. Were wasting it. I hate that. Frank used to run the water all the time brushing his teeth. I would go over and turn it off. I is it still running . Its a weird day. G. Q.
