Hi, I'm Stage and Stages Lin Manuel Miranda, and you're listening to The Hamilcast.

Butts and cuts and, and boots and... Hey everyone welcome back to the hamelcast I'm Jillian this is part two of my

conversation with

Andrew Bancroft aka Jelly Donut of Freestyle love supreme.

All right we're picking up right where we left off in episode 12 so if you haven't

listened to that yet be sure to check it out. That's where you'll hear all about Jelly growing up in Maine, the wild

backstory of his family, first concerts, first cassette tapes, all that good stuff that's all in

212. And guess what Mike came home in the middle of our chat so he joins us right as we pick back up in

the dorms of Wesleyan my friend Jeff you know just after knowing him a little while we were in the same dorm

Butterfield but see what's up and he knew that I wrote music and could tell that I was obsessed with like making

up you know poems and things like that and he was like hey before we go out tonight

come to my dorm room let's let's do this game I was like what's going on and we went to his dorm room and he put on a tape an instrumental

cassette tape and it was like let's wrap about the things in the room you know like let's freestyle have you ever done this I was like no and he started and I was like oh he's just he doesn't know oh and we just wrapped about everything in his room and he had like this

instead of a chair he threw his chair out and had a sheep chair that he sat on and we'd

we just like joke about the sheep and make up rhymes.

And I know this is great for a podcast. I brought a show and tell which is a visual.

This is the actual cassette that we played my freshman year.

Wow.

Yeah, please do. It's Funk Master Flex and the Ghetto Celebrity's nutting but flavor, four minutes and 12 second instrumental.

And this is what we would keep rewinding over and over.

And Jeff made this for the off-Broadway run he gave it to me.

He's like the sweetest dude. We're still very close and his family is lovely
