Connor and Dylan are joined by Jason Schmidt (The Outsiders). Sodapop Curtis knows a thing or two about drama! Good thing he’s here to spill it alllll with us this week. Hot off the announcement that The Outsiders has been nominated for 12 Tony Awards, Jason (Soda himself) joins the twins to break it all down. Why does he love the musical? What are his favorite songs to perform? Musical influences that go into “Soda’s Letter”? How many days a week does he hit the gym? Listen to find OUT. We also ask burning questions about what it’s like backstage at the Jacobs Theatre, which cast members get the craziest DMs, and the rumors about whether or not there was even more shirtless content onstage in Tulsa, 1967 during the La Jolla run. Jason tells the boys about growing up in Chicago, going to Carnegie Mellon, and how Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies took him out west. Character inspired tattoos, Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism, Hacks season 3, and rap diss track beef fill out this wonderful episode with our favorite Outsider. Stream Jason’s original music on Spotify and check him out on Broadway eight times a week. Have you ever been out of Tulsa before? Now you’ll never want to leave.
