Okay Mary. Ready for some Morning mix?
Yes, let's do it.
It's time for the Great Day Morning mix.
As Madonna says her upcoming
tour is actually on pause now
because of a recent health scare.
The 64 year old was rushed to the hospital
after being found unresponsive Saturday,
according to the New York Post.
Her manager says the singer spent
several days in the ICU with
a serious bacterial infection.
But says she's doing better and is
expected to make a full recovery.
That is certainly some good news to hear.
She has lots of fans out there who adore her.
It's so scary to have a health
scare like this.
And you read the firt like,
found unresponsive.
I was immediately like, Oh my gosh,
what happened. That's right.
As you worry about has this
person lost oxygen.
Have they been breathing on their own
when they're unconscious like that.
So thankfully she was able to get
the medical help that she needs.
Yeah. Spent several days in the ICU.
It said they had to intubate her.
That as well, yes.
Concerned about how could this impact,
you know, her vocal cords of her throat.
Well,
they said all events of hers
are going to be canceled.
They're going to reschedule the tour,
the start date for the tour,
and then also her other events
that she's missing.
But you know,
she wants to get back on the road. Yes.
And her tour announcement was fantastic.
So you got to go on with that.
Yes, she's, she's got to be wishing you well.
Madonna.
Well,
Simone Biles is on the list to compete in
the US Classic this August if she does.
This will be her first competition
in two years since the delayed
2020 Tokyo Olympics files dropped
out of multiple events.
Then,
after struggling with the twisties,
which are mental blocks when
performing in midair,
Are you surprised that she's going back?
I knew she always loved it.
It's just sometimes even what we
love can be difficult for us with
the pressures that come with it.
But I think she's in a good headspace now.
She just recently got married, right?
There was some plaque about some of
her wedding pictures and dresses.
I was like, really?
I can't believe she were.
I was like, you know, it was like a yeah,
I was like leave her alone, please.
Yeah.
So I knew that she would get back at
some point and I'm glad that it's
happening sooner rather than later.
You know, she wanted to take a break.
It's been two years.
This is a one day event
that she's going back to.
You know, obviously not saying I'm
going to the Olympics like I'm committing,
maybe just test it again and see
how you're feeling.
It is a good way to just put your toes in,
right?
Yeah.
And see how it works.
Someone else said it's like
an athlete wanting to go
out on her own terms rather than how
the Olympics ended for as you should.
It's your life. It's your career.
You should do it how you want. Yeah.
OK. Earlier we mentioned the delays
and cancellations at airports.
Well, for one man, his ordeal turned
into a viral moment on TikTok.
Phil Stringer was the only person
who showed up for a flight that
was delayed 18 hours in Oklahoma.
So he got a fully crude plane all to himself.
Stringer says he and the crew
had fun with the whole thing.
He even got some of their phone numbers.
He said that he's still texting
them about what happened.
And I'm sure it's going to go on because
now we're all talking about them.
It's very it's become a viral sensation.
I'm guessing they flew this plane
because it needed to be somewhere
else for another flight.
I can't see the the,
the cost effectiveness of flying.
One customer when they could easily, right.
Maybe put them on with another airline,
right.
You know, if they had an agreement with them.
But this is pretty cool.
Here's the thing.
You know how the flight attendants
are always making the announcements?
Like, you know,
you can use your seat cushion as
a flotation device and pull your
oxygen mask down.
I know how he really looks at that.
They're listening.
I'm like, he had to look like, you can't.
Like, you're the only one.
You got to pay attention.
Yeah.
He got video of it.
And she's like, did you get that?
He's like, yeah, I got it.
It was an American Airlines flight.
And they sent out a statement saying
we're glad we could accommodate him.
And I thought, like what you said behind the.
Scenes are like, Oh my gosh,
how's a lot of money just for one guy?
Talk about private jet experience, right?
Well,
first it was Netflix.
Now crackdowns are coming
to a Costco near you.
The warehouse club says employees
will be checking ID's to make sure
members aren't sharing their cards.
Costco says membership fees play
a big role in keeping prices low
and says non members shouldn't get
the same benefits as card holders.
I was just there Friday and you
just like flash the look like I
even had in my hand with the cart
and they were like OK go ahead,
you know your pictures on the backside,
but they never look at that or try to check,
think they're your name an ID.
And I think what I heard is that
they're gonna start checking
at the self checkout lines.
Which is where a lot of people sort of
were able to kind of ease on through.
And I know that their membership
fees do generate a lot of money.
Of one article I read,
it was like $4.2 billion.
That's how you get the big bulk items, right?
The costumes have already made
money up front, so yeah,
it's important to keep those going,
yeah.
