Listener Voicemails: We kick things off with some truly epic call-ins. Who dropped the sharpest diss on Gaspar’s infamous “Freddy Knuckles” routine? And which listener scored a free one-year subscription to Laynards, including a soundcheck experience with The Hold Steady? The Unified Scene shows off some serious talent in this round.

🎬 Hold Steady Biopic Madness: Next, we tackle a listener question from Josh: What would a Hold Steady biopic look like? Things get wild when Johnny Depp and Steve Buscemi are both pitched to play the same band member. (Spoiler: it only gets crazier from there.)

💎 Diamonds in the Drain Game – Finale: We close with the nail-biting conclusion to our fan-favorite game. These are the toughest rounds yet, as we score the first three Hold Steady albums track by track. Which songs sparkle? Which ones sink? And will your favorite land a gold medal?

From brutal burns to bizarre casting calls to heated debates over beloved cuts — this episode has it all.
