    2025/06/04

    Dylan and Connor are joined by Betty Who (Recording Artist, Hadestown). Now there’s fire burning in the valley, y’all… THE Betty Who joins the twins for the 300th episode of DRAMA. Ahead of the “Out of the Darkness” tour, Betty is here to talk all things new: music, show, and era. But not just an era of artistry, it’s a new era of life that they’re feeling supercharged for. Leave those Pride flags out and get ready to SWEAT in this #pride-friendly summer tour! Betty dives into the highs and lows of being in Hadestown on Broadway for six months as Persephone. We cover favorite offstage moments, as well as memories from being in the building with Solea Pfeiffer, Jordan Fisher, Philip Boykin, and Lillias White. Betty also teases a little bit about the original musical she’s writing before the boys ask about their favorite Betty Who tracks, bouncing from each album and getting the tea from the artist directly. “Just Thought You Should Know,” “Wanna Be”, and “High Society” are discussed at length, along with Audra McDonald’s thrilling performance in Gypsy on Broadway. Stick around for some doses of drama and absolutely incredible conversation between the twins and Betty Who. Stream “Run!” and “Sweat” and get your ticket to the Out of the Darkness tour this summer. It’s Betty Who season, y’all!

    2025/05/28

    Connor and Dylan are joined by Kyle Selig (Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends, Mean Girls). Summer is upon us, and the twins are excited to welcome the dreamy and delightful Kyle Selig for his long-awaited episode of DRAMA. He brings his sunny personality and sense of humor to the pod for an amazing chat, almost like we’re… old friends. Speaking of “Old Friends,” we chat about the beautiful Broadway production that Kyle is part of alongside Bernadette Peters, Lea Salonga, and friend of the pod Beth Leavel, as he sings the “Sondheim Tenor Sampler Platter.” Naturally, this trio gushes over Kyle’s wife, Erika Henningsen (now starring in Just in Time), and recounts moments in their love story from Mean Girls to their wedding day. The conversation includes stories about Water for Elephants, Los Angeles living, and superstar Grey Henson. We reflect on The Goofy Movie, Welcome to Flatch, and Aaron Tveit and Gavin Creel’s impact on a young Kyle. Stick around for Thunderbolts* and Miss Flo (yes gawd!), plus many doses of DRAMA. and the birth of a beautiful friendship among these millennial men. See Kyle in Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends through June 29th!

  • "There's the Laugh Track" with Tatianna Córdoba
    2025/05/21

    Dylan and Connor are joined by Tatianna Córdoba (Real Women Have Curves). Y’all, we are SO obsessed with this breakout star from Real Women Have Curves: The Musical. Listen in as the twins get the inside scoop on Tatianna’s first ever Broadway season, what it’s been like to lead this new musical as Ana Garcia, and the incredible company she’s a part of. We gush over Justina Machado, gag for the backstage telenovela created by the cast, and the powerful way audiences are engaging with Real Women Have Curves. Tati takes us back to the Bay Area, where her love of the arts began with Annie and was accelerated by Lin-Manuel Miranda. We have a discussion about the importance of body representation and the visibility of Black and Brown people on stage. Thankfully, shows like RWHC have BOTH mama! We’re in the presence of a culture queen, y’all! Tatianna is just as addicted to binge watching all the latest shows (Severance!) as well as some classics (Lost!), while curating music playlists for every season of life. Connor rides for Maren Morris, Dylan has One of Them Days, and Tatianna gags for KATSEYE. While listening to this episode, pull out your phone and snag a seat to Real Women Have Curves on Broadway. You will love it, and obviously will love Tatianna!

  • “The First Spoiler” with Brent Comer
    2025/05/14

    Connor and Dylan are joined by Grammy Award nominee Brent Comer (The Outsiders, Les Misérables). Celebrating over a year playing Darrel Curtis in the Tony-winning Best Musical, Brent opens up about how his experience with the show has changed over time, ways he’s keeping it fresh, and gives insight into his relationship with co-star (and friend of the pod) Jason Schmidt. We get into Outsiders lore, including Patrick Swayze’s OG impact as Darrel, Tulsa, and the language of violence in the musical. Brent also reveals his favorite part of every single performance of The Outsiders. Star Wars, The White Lotus, and The Last of Us are discussed at length, as well as Brent’s love of documentaries. Respect is put to Miley’s “More to Lose” (the LIVE version, mama!), and Ransom Canyon on Netflix is teased. You’ve been warned. Are you curious about tattoos, Angelina Jolie, and the Broadway season at LARGE? Brent as Stanley Kowalski, George Seurat, or Sweeney Todd??? Stay until the end, y’all. Brent is a meme king, fitness legend, and Broadway star. DO NOT miss him in The Outsiders on Broadway.

    Dylan and Connor are joined by Ana Gasteyer (Once Upon a Mattress, “Saturday Night Live”). The Queen is coming. Actually, the Queen has ARRIVED. The twins are absolutely gagged to be joined by icon, legend, mother Ana Gasteyer. Fresh off of singing into a bullhorn in Times Square (IYKYK), Ana dives right into discussing the hot-off-the-presses cast album for Once Upon a Mattress, how it felt returning to Broadway with such a beloved show and cast, and what it was like playing alongside Michael Urie. Listen as she spills on her 6 seasons on “Saturday Night Live,” including the recent SNL50 celebration. Ana speaks on when she realized she was ready to leave SNL, followed by becoming one of the very first women to play Elphaba in the original company of Wicked in Chicago. Ana speaks about her Quaker upbringing leading to a life of performing, whether it be with The Groundlings, on television, or even the Broadway stage. She shares tidbits about working with Rachel Dratch, Kate Reinders, and appearing on early demos of Hairspray. We gush over the new film Sinners, Floyd Collins and its extraordinary cast, and happily celebrate Drag: The Musical’s award nominations. We only love Ana more after some DRAMA!

We’re absolutely gagged to be chatting with the delightful, breezy, and charming star of Boop the Musical: Jasmine Amy Rogers. Hear all about her journey with the show: auditioning, getting cut, and working her Betty BOOTY off to get back in the room and take what was rightfully hers. Jasmine spills on working with legendary legend Jerry Mitchell, her dreamy onstage love interest Ainsley Melham, and the fabulous crew of designers and creatives who helped bring her version of Betty Boop to life.

Singing Idina Menzel’s Rent and Wicked songs in the car, obsessing over Ed, Edd, & Eddy, Codename: Kids Next Door, and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, and competing in the Jimmy Awards are only a few of the stories Jasmine shares from her formative years. We also chat about touring with Mean Girls, the hot girl New York summer ahead, and the literal trauma of watching Private Practice. Prepare to fall in love with this season’s breakout leading lady Jasmine Amy Rogers and don’t miss her in Boop the Musical! at the Broadhurst Theatre.
