Gottwald will officially be the 14th Doctor in the legendary BBC series. Gottwald is making history as he will be the first black man to play the time Lord.

Got what telling BBC quote this role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavor, my utmost to do the same. I've never seen this show but it has such a huge following but I've never watched it. Well, it's also been on and I'm not joking when I said 60 60 years, it has been on for 60 years. This, by the way, it's all, it's starting about hits 39th season right now. So there's been a myriad of different people who have played Doctor Who. And as you mentioned, Jodie Whittaker, her last season is just about to end here very soon as the first female Doctor Who. But either way, this is amazing, especially when it comes to diversity, when you're looking for other characters to be part of this. Congratulations. Meanwhile, this is wild Kendrick Lamar fans. The day has finally come after five long years, kung fu Kenny has released new music. The Heart Part five is the latest entry in Lamar's The Heart series which he released before each of his new album is going back to 2010, but this time, most of the conversation is surrounding around the video that is attached to it and it is a very wild trip. Look at this. Look what happened happened for you. Look what I've done for you. Whoa, that was crazy. Yeah. That was Kendrick Lamar. He morphed into O. J. That's not the only one. He becomes the rapper also turns into Kanye West Jussie Smollett will smith and even late icons, Kobe Bryant and Nipsey hustle and the appearances are anything but random. The lyrics often match up with the person that he's talking and turning into for instance, he discusses bipolar disorder when he's when he's Kanye, he raps in the land where hurt people, hurt more people when he's will smith. And he actually speaks from the late hustles point of view as well. South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are also thanked in the video's credits along with their Deep voodoo studio which specializes in deep fake technology. The hard part five comes ahead of Lamar's new album Mr morale and the Big Steppers which is set to be released this friday. So when I saw this earlier today I had no I had no no reference that he goes he goes into the O. J. Simpson and I was like wait what just happened to his face. But this song is so good. Anyway, so I was totally into it. But I was just like literally like if you do not take cannabis and and watch that video, don't worry, I will. But I can't wait to watch the full video after this show. Meanwhile you two headed to Ukraine over the weekend, bono and his bandmate the Edge performed a surprise concert in a subway station turned bomb shelter in Kiev, the band tweeted President Zelensky invited us to perform in Kiev as a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people And so that's what we've come to do. The duo praised Ukrainians fighting for their freedom. They performed Youtube classics with or without you when Angel of Harlem. The performance comes about a month after Zelensky made a special address at the Grammys calling on artists to use their platforms to tell the truth about Russia's invasion in Ukraine. I can't imagine how happy this made so many people in Ukraine. Not only the people that were there, but just a solidarity among the country within the country. And also, if you look at how much that those subway stations have played a crucial role in sheltering so many of those people families, entire families for months on end. So yes, the symbolism there is really sort of haunting
