Speakers Cameron Hale, Kyle Philson

Cameron Hale (1:16)

Thank you all so very much for joining us here today on Expanded Perspectives. That's right, it's me, Uncle Ham, sitting in here chit chatting with my good friend, my colleague, the troublemaker himself, Big Bobby.

Kyle Philson (1:28)

How's it going, everybody? Yes, I'm here in Skelligen Studios on a cooler day than it's been in a long time. I'm loving it.

Cameron Hale (1:35)

I'm just knocking stuff off the table.

Kyle Philson (1:37)

It's like 80 degrees, but it is amazing because it was 100 for like two months. Yeah. And that's not for wearing on you.

Cameron Hale (1:43)

Yeah.

Kyle Philson (1:43)

Like I said, when I walked up today, I was like, man, I could walk to the deer stand and not go, you won't crunch. Yeah.

Cameron Hale (1:49)

Not worried about like shooting an arrow and hitting a piece of wire and starting a spark.

Kyle Philson (1:53)

Yeah. No kidding, right?

Yeah. Just got back from Tennessee.

Cameron Hale (1:57)

Cameron Hale (2:40)

Kyle Philson (2:41)

Cameron Hale (2:41)

Hodger, Wade, yeah. The whole party. The whole crew. It's funny when we started going up there, the crew wasn't as big.

Kyle Philson (2:48)

I know.

Cameron Hale (2:48)

And it's like it's just gotten worse, like a full production. I can't wait for y'all to see it. They did an amazing job on the set. They did an amazing. If you go to our Instagram, you can see a few pages or pictures of it on there. But it's an amazing set up. They did a great job. We think you're really going to like it. Speaking of something you're really going to like, Kyle.

Kyle Philson (3:06)

This started the NHL season?

Cameron Hale (3:08)

That's what I was going to ask. Cause are you happy cause he's going?

Kyle Philson (3:11)

We've been watching it every day this week. And I'm excited.

Cameron Hale (3:16)

He stays up late.

Kyle Philson (3:18)

They start at like 6 PM and the last game doesn't start till 9 PM. So literally from like six to midnight.

Cameron Hale (3:24)

You're watching hockey. I knew it because it was like 11 and I text him and I said, you watching the San Jose game? He goes, you know it.

I'm like, there's no reason other than it's hockey.

Kyle Philson (3:35)

Yeah, man. I don't watch normal television. That's the thing.

Cameron Hale (3:38)

Cause you're specifically not normal. Yeah.

Kyle Philson (3:40)

I mean, we don't have TV at our house. I just stream everything. And I literally just, my favorite thing to watch is YouTube. That's what I'm watching 95% of the time. And then I switched from other things, right? I could watch somebody make a pocket knife. I could watch somebody look for something underwater that fell off a bridge. I could look at, you know, how to rebuild your pressure washer. Like it's endless.

Cameron Hale (4:00)

Seems just...

Kyle Philson (4:02)

And it's good with somebody with ADD like me. Cause like 10 minutes in, if it's not good, I just switched to something totally different.

Cameron Hale (4:06)

His brain's broken, folks.

Kyle Philson (4:08)

It's been broken.

Cameron Hale (4:09)

He's got a broken brain.

Kyle Philson (4:10)

But that's what allows me to tell cool stories like this one.

Cameron Hale (4:13)

That's right. Uh-oh.

Kyle Philson (4:14)

Cameron Hale (4:18)
