After leaving the performance industry for many years, Limmie Pulliam has returned and is considered, among many, an up-and-coming superstar. With upcoming performances at the Metropolitan Opera, he's notable at the very least. Limmie joins Garrett (1:00:00) to offer insights into his start with music, his departure, and the unlikely situation that brought him back. Scott offers new by Björk and shines a light on Maestro Ofentse Pitse, Garrett returns to music by Kanyé West and speaks to The Proms, and the guys offer their opinions on reactions to the death of England's Queen Elizabeth II.
