When Anthony McGill took two knees, "classical music" institutions everywhere stopped. He talks with Garrett and Scott about what inspired him to create #TakeTwoKnees, and offers his opinions on the discussion of the audition screen. Scott shares his growing relationship with the music of DaBaby, and Garrett reminisces, with the help of some 90s R&B. Playlist:

Kanye West feat. Travis Scott - Wash Us In The Blood

Brandy - Sittin' Up In My Room

Benjamin Britten - Diversions on a Theme (Op. 21)

Deux Filles - Oh How We Laughed
