Hi, Steve Patterson here, host of the debaters, the show where Canada's best comics battle it out.

This week, we're asking if silence is golden, which is quite the question for two comedians.

And this goes without saying. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a CBC podcast.

This week's routine checkup, we're joined by Laurel and Brendan Brady, the brother-sister,

filmmaking duo, and creators of the award-winning comedy drama short film Chronic. Let's talk about it.

Thank you. Guys, I am, I'm so excited for this.

Guys, I am, I'm so excited for this conversation, not only because we get to talk about something interesting,

which is like every fucking week, right?

But also we're talking to a couple of pals from back in the day,

back in my, my theater school days.

Hot, digity damn.

Right? I mean, we weren't in the same school,

but Laurel and Brendan, who were chatting with today,

were they were classmates, schoolmates with my high schoolmate, Katie McCullough.

That's right.

Sweet old Caitlin McCullough.

Sweet old Kate.

Sweet old Firecracker Kate.

I feel like I have to say now. Sweet old, you got a Katiecracker Kate. I feel like I have to say now.

Sweet old you got a Katie McCuller.

I'm sure she loves being called old three days.
