After enjoying an extended weekend, Tory Lanez and company returned for a highly-anticipated episode of Quarantine Radio on Tuesday. Taking advantage of his status and Instagram’s livestream feature, Tory has entertained fans near and far with out-of-pocket antics from both himself and the many musical guests that join the show.

From twerking contests to enjoyable appearances by Drake, Meg Thee Stallion, Bryson Tiller, 21 Savage and more, Quarantine Radio has become to go-to source for many who are confined to their respective homes. But it looks like fans may have to wait a while for its return after Instagram abruptly suspended the show following Tuesday’s episode.

The show was supported by a packed room of 350,000, surpassing the previous Quarantine Radio viewer-record of over 310,000 attendees set when Drake joined last week’s episode. But after some rather explicit content from a frequent guest of the show, Quarantine Radio came to an unexpected end as the livestream concluded out of the blue.

Sharing the message from Instagram to his fans, Tory revealed that the livestream feature on his account would be suspended until next week April 14. Refusing to go down without a fight, Tory created another account under the name @thequaratineradio in order to keep the show going.

With the new page quickly gaining more than 25,000 followers, Tory began the livestream once again, but with 100,000 viewers in attendance Instagram once again shut the party down.

A frustrated Tory voiced his complaints and retweeted those from fans after getting livestreams on two separate accounts shut down in such a short time. Luckily, Tory will soon have reason to celebrate as he is preparing to share his next project, The New Toronto 3, this Friday, April 10.

Few people are ever able to realistically ask themselves, “Should I become a professional football player or a brain surgeon?” much less actually succeed at doing both. But that’s exactly what Myron Rolle managed to do.

The native Texan, whose parents immigrated here from the Bahamas, completed his Bachelor’s degree at Florida State in less than three years. After college, he spent a year studying at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar, then returned to play as a defensive back in the NFL for the Tennessee Titans for three years. After announcing that he was leaving football in 2013, he entered medical school. He is now in his third year of residency as a neurosurgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

So, you know, a pretty average life.

Now, Rolle has found himself on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the neurosurgery floor of his hospital has been transformed into a COVID-19-only unit. Though he’s still performing emergency brain surgeries, all elective procedures have been postponed. With his schedule freed up, Rolle has volunteered to work in the surge clinic that triages new patients who come in with COVID-19 symptoms.

And interestingly enough, when talking about how he’s making the transition from neurosurgery to treating a respiratory disease, it’s his football experience—not medical training—that he refers back to.

“Obviously, neurosurgery is not directly connected to this upper respiratory illness,” Rolle told The Tennessean. “But just like in football, if you’re called to do something different that you weren’t expecting, you adjust. You adapt. They’re showing us a new formation that we didn’t see on tape? You’ve got to hunker down and get the job done. In my opinion, this novel disease is something like that. A formation, a personnel package that we haven’t seen before. We have to meet the challenge, and I’m happy to be able to join the fight.”

Rolle shared some of his experience in the coronavirus battle in late March on ESPN, as Boston was ramping up its preparedness for a surge in COVID-19 patients:

Well done, Dr. Rolle. You are a true inspiration and role model for us all.

Senior living communities have been hit especially hard by COVID-19. So Matthew McConaughey and his family hosted virtual bingo for senior living residents at The Enclave at Round Rock Senior Living in Round Rock, Texas.

The “Dallas Buyers Club” star was accompanied by his wife, Camila, his mother, Kay, and two of his children for the game. They seemed to have a blast calling out numbers and names with the seniors over ZOOM.

Ever play virtual bingo with #MatthewMcConaughey? You’d be a whole lot cooler if you did! The residents at The Enclave at Round Rock Senior Living got to…

“The generosity and kindness Matthew McConaughey and his family showed our residents was beautiful, but more importantly we were gifted with a humble message from his heart,” Spectrum Retirement Communities told Today. “And for that, we will be forever grateful.”

The seniors showed their appreciation after the game by holding up signs that thanked the Oscar-winner and his family.
