We're a Callin' Chip from The Fellas, and this episode is brought to you by the new movie Strays!

Strays is the hilarious dog comedy that you've been waiting for. The story follows Reggie

So gather your mates! Oh, I will, my friend, because Strays is in cinema's August 17th.

and didn't have any issues. But by June 2021, my father died. Then in September 2022,

my beloved little dog died. Then November 22, I had to put my mother for whom I had been

a carer for three years in a nursing home, and this has been very difficult for me.

And suddenly, one day, in January, while driving, I had a massive panic attack. Along the way,
