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

Butts and cuts and, and boots and... Hello everyone welcome back to the hamel cast I'm Jillian and I'm here with finally Joseph

Morales. Hello, finally. Finally looking you and your fancy setup your

shore microphone. Oh thank you so much it's my hobby to just like

set up a setup and really have nothing to do with it yet like I don't know what I'm

going to do with it it's just like my hobby to build it. Well okay first of all we

just if you guys don't know who Joseph Morales is like get it together.

But you were in the Heights on Broadway the Ham alternate in Chicago,

Hamilton in the Philip Tour, I saw you when we were in Vegas when we did the big group recording.

This has been so long in the making. You're in St. Petersburg right now. You're in Florida.

So this is yet another remote recording. This is still very new for me.

But we, this has been so long in the making because I remember you, we were, we had a schedule, we had, you were booked for when you were rehearsing the Philip company and then you

got sick and you were like I'm in rehearsals like I can't I was like stay home oh my

God you're one day off don't don't come drink with me I don't want Tommy to get mad at me like

just stay home and then we saw then we went Mike and I went to Vegas and did a big

recording and saw you in the show and it was so great but you were on like when we were doing the big recording you were like

on a plane to some beautiful tropical island I was going to Bali you were going to Bali

and I remember like Nick and Kyle and everyone was giving you shit backstage and I was like

well you leave him

alone it's bolly I would have changed my trip had I known you were coming no no it's so

hard to do all that you know like plan with everyone I just sort of show up to these

cities and say if you're around come hang and if not we'll make it happen and guess what?
