The ZM Podcast Network. About five years ago, Channing Tatum followed me on Instagram. It seemed like the real account. I messaged him. He messaged me back, told me I was hilarious or funny. You know, small plug for myself there. And we came up with this big elaborate plan that we were going to fly to LA, call it Chasing Tatum,

and try and meet him in the flesh and double check that it was the real deal. I'm reflection a bit stalkerish, but it didn't work. Fast forward to about four weeks ago and I have Channing Tatum on a Zoom call in the studio. You don't know that Channing Tatum is on the Zoom call. You don't know that we've organised him at all. He can see us.

I've just wheeled Bree into the studio with a blindfold and put her in front of Channing Tatum, and that's where we'll pick it up. Hi. Hi, I know who it is. What's up? She can't hear you, okay? And she doesn't know that you're here, okay?

Bree, do you remember this clip from 2018? I follow one of my friends on Instagram, Bree Thomasel. You know the comedian from New Zealand? Why do you love her so much? She's hysterical. And her mom, literally, there are certain people on this earth that just don't even try and they're funny. Their whole family dynamic and how they just cannot not laugh at each other.

We all would be a better world if we could all have a family like that. Brianna's amazing. Do you remember that clip? No, I actually don't remember. Don't you? Right. Do you remember the time we flew halfway around the world to try and find the person who said that?

Rings a bell. Well, please remove your blindfold and say hello to the co-directors of the new movie Dog, Reed, Carolyn and Channing Tatum. Oh, f***. Hey, what's up? Are you serious? What's up, man? Shit.

Here we are. Finally, what the hell? This is not happening right now. How's your mom? Yeah, she's good. She asks about you all the time. She's always like, is Channing coming for Christmas? And I'm like, I don't think so, Mom.

Yeah, I'm there. I hear it in my head. Brianna! I can't do it. I can't do your accent. I can't believe this. Channing, we've been waiting years to ask you this question. After we got that clip from a red carpet that you were on,

we actually flew all the way to Los Angeles to find you. Oh, no. You weren't there. You were in the UK. Did you know that we were trying to track you down? I want to say I sort of do know this, but I don't remember who told me and i don't remember how it did get to me i think someone might have messaged me that i like hadn't seen in forever and they they had told me that y'all were there or something but i was like i'm gone i'm not there i need to confront you

about something channing when we flew all the way to la i was like right we've been here for a week we've tried everything last resort i'm I'm going to message Channing. Oh, no. And you left me on scene. You left me on scene. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I don't know.

I can't give any excuse. I probably am just an asshole. Just make sure you reply after this. I know Reid wouldn't do that. Would you, Reid? Oh, never. Never, never. Reid, the sweetest guy in the world, that Channing guy, though, I'll tell you. I know. reply after this. I know Reid wouldn't do that. Would you, Reid? Oh, never. Never, never. Reid, the sweetest guy in the world, that Channing guy, though,

I'll tell you. I know. Get him out of here. I know. We'll have a support group. Rihanna! Boys, it's fantastic to finally see you in the flesh and Channing will see you parked up outside your house in LA sometime soon. Guys, 2021 was a shit of a year, but 2022's looking good. I really

appreciate it. Thank you, guys. Brianna. It's so good. She's hilarious, by the way. She's super, super funny. Did that just happen? Did we hear afterwards? I haven't heard that audio at the end.

Really? Yeah, that's after we hung up. Ben got the audio off that bit. Oh, my God. I can't believe it. Bree and Clint. My parents live in country Queensland, and I have a sister who recently had a baby a couple of years ago,

so I've got a beautiful nephew. His name's Jonte. Got it. Anyway, my mum said, oh, you wouldn't believe what Jonte found up in the paddock today. Okay. So they're in Australia. My mind went to he's found snake, spider, an echidna.

Iron oar. A koala. Yeah. What else could a two-year-old kid up in the paddock find? That'd be so interesting. Anyway, she said he was up in the paddock with my sister. She took her eyes off him for like two seconds and she turns around and he's there standing holding something.

And my little nephew has found a big black dildo. I was going to say sex toy, but I was like, nah, shit joke. Wow, he's got a big black donger. Yep. Why is there a big black donger in your parents' field? So, funny story. I'm kind of involved in the reason as to why he would have found this in the back. Is it your big black donger?

Not really. Three and a half years ago, my sister had a bachelorette party. Right, okay. And we thought it would be a funny idea to do an adult pass the parcel with the main prize being a big black dildo. Yeah, right. But fast forward to the wedding and there's video evidence of this. The morning of my sister's wedding, I found this dildo

and I decided I'd pull it out and I started chasing people with it on the morning of my sister's wedding. Yeah, classic, good stuff. But fast forward to the reception on my parents' property, I've grabbed this thing from the house and I've thrown it across the reception at my sister's wedding and I've knocked my cousin in the head with it. And then my last memory was he was running around chasing people with it at my sister's wedding.

And somehow it's obviously gotten lost. There it has laid for the last three years. It has laid for three years. And my little nephew, Jonte, has uncovered this. So does your mum know that that's why there's a big black donger in the field? Well, I thought we should call her and confront her about this. You ask her. You ask her about it and see if she tells you.

Is that Mama Di? Hello. How are you? Yeah, good. Brian Clint. Look, I just wanted to check. There's rumours going around that your grandson is finding big black dongers in the paddock and it's your property.

So property law dictates that it's your big black donger. Is there any truth to that? It's not mine. I do not claim it one bit. Are you excited to receive your property back, Mum? Brianna, do you let him have it? Yeah, what do you do with it? Of course we don't let him have it? Yeah, what do you do with it? Of course we don't let him have it.

There's no batteries in it. There's something we need to talk about, Clint. There's a big thing that's happened for you and I in the past week or so. Right. Can you think of anything important? Anything you want to say to me? Oh, it was our four year anniversary. Correct. Of the show. Correct. I did a special Instagram post. You did. You did. And when I saw that,

I thought, four years, time flies when you're having fun. We've been through a lot together and I need to do something special for you. It's our anniversary. It's four years, Clint. And I thought we need beers, Claudia. Producer Claude, I know it's very early. It's 7.30 on a Wednesday. I'm about to have a coffee.

Hey, five o'clock somewhere. It's our four. Five o'clock somewhere. Five in the morning. It's our four-year anniversary and you'll see why we need beers. Okay. We've done some amazing things and I've had just the most absolute best time. Yeah, me too.

It's been really amazing and I'm so grateful that I get to do this with you and I wouldn't change anything. And I thought, how can I show, you know, how much I've loved it? So what I did was I went on to this app called Fiverr, which is a freelancing app. Yes, I know the one. You can get people to do illustrations and stuff for you. Yes, you can. And you can also get people to sing a song. So I went on there. I found the best R&B singer I can find because I just thought R&B feels like the best genre of music to really capture this moment. Okay.

I've taken five long minutes writing an anniversary song for you and I, Clint, to celebrate four years together on air and here it is. Here it is. It's been four years, and together we've conquered our fears But most of all we down multiple beers, yes beers How good are beers? The Vanu Tour, Friday, Yolk, Birthday, Bangor And yeah we chased Tatum and L.A.

The hot mess express, that was the best But out of it all, I want nothing less But out of it all, I'd want nothing less So here I say thank you For the last four years Let's raise our beers Yes, beers Put on beers Put on beers

To the Bree and Clint show I say cheers to the last four years So let's raise our beer Yes, beer Put on beer That's amazing. It took me five minutes to write. And you paid that guy $5?

No, it cost me about $130. But worth every penny made. Bree and Clint. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's birthday banger. All right, here we go. We do this at the same time every day.

Three of you, we figure out what was the song top of the charts on your 16th birthdays, and then we play our favourite one in full. Let's get Alex on. Hi, Alex. Hi, Alex. Hi. Hi. How's your day? Have you finished for the day, Alex? I have literally just finished, Alex. Hi, Alex. Hi. Hi. How's your day?

Have you finished for the day, Alex? I have literally just finished and I couldn't be more happy. Good stuff. Oh, perfect. What do you do for work? I stand underneath cranes and make sure no one does anything stupid. You stand underneath cranes, did you say? Yeah.

Wow. Okay. Do you ever go up in, you're not one of the crane lift operators. One of my friends does that job. I'm way too scared of heights for that. Me too, Alex, me too. What's your birthday, mate? The 4th of the 10th, 1998.

Right, you were 16 in 2014. And on your birthday, your 16th, this was number one. I'm all about that bass, about that bass. Megan Trainor, all about that bass. The Big Booty song. Do you like this, Alex? I have a lot of mixed feelings about this song. Okay, why?

Why? I don't know if I can find it on radio. I couldn't really hear. I'm going to say it. I lost my virginity to this song. Oh, okay, Okay, all right. Wow, okay. That's all the bloody songs.

Well, thank you for your honesty, Alex. I'm assuming by the mixed feelings, you're not with the guy anymore. Oh, God, no. I've had one or two since then Yeah, yeah, yeah, fair enough Okay, well that could be a bit traumatic for you if we choose that one Wait there, we'll go to Greta That was so good Alex, sorry, hello Greta

Hello Greta Hey How are you? How are you guys? A bit shook up to be honest with you That was quite good from Alex But I'm keen to find out about you. Have you finished for the day, Greta?

I am just on my way home. Okay, let's get your birthday banger and see if it's as romantic as Alex's was. What's your birthday? 23rd of May, 94. All right, Greta, you were 16 in 2010. And on the 23rd of May, sorry, I'm still shook. Here's your birthday bag. Any memories, Greta, with airplanes, B.O.B., flooding back to you?

No, no, I can't say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that song. Oh, my God. I mean, it has to be Alex. It has to be Alex. Can I just say, what a weird song to lose your V-plates to. Alex, what mood were you trying to set with Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass?

Well, I wasn't exactly trying to set a mood. It was in the back of the car. Oh, my God. This story just keeps getting better. Bree and Clint. So, my dad, background, if you've never heard our show before, he's a farmer, he's a country lad, right? Brace yourself.

I promise you, this is 100% my dad and his new voicemail. Well, howdy, pilgrim. Steve here. Sorry I missed your call. I'll give you a ring back as soon as I can. See you, partner. What the hell is that? Where does that come from?

I have no idea. I want to call my dad right now because that is weird AF. Okay, are we putting? Yeah, we've got him. G'day, Dad. Howdy, partner. How are you, my friend? Dad, you don't know what we're getting you on the show for this afternoon, do you? No, and I'm a bit concerned, but anyway

let's go. No clue, have you made any changes recently to anything in your life that you think I'd want to talk to you about? I think we should just play you a piece of audio to jog your memory. Well, howdy, pilgrim. Steve here. Sorry I missed your call. What's wrong with that?

Well, first of all, it's only slight, but I think you've put on a slight accent. No, that's just my spaghetti accent. It's just spaghetti western. What the hell is going on? Well, I want people to remember my voicemail. Oh, they'll remember your voicemail, all right. Is that the whole reason?

Is that the whole back story behind that? To be honest, my voicemail was so terrible, and I thought, what can I do to make it even more terrible? So I did that. Well, mission accomplished.
