Hi, this is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary Carillo. I'm San Roenca. I'm like New York. I'm Andy Murray. This is Yannick Noah. I'm Drew Sellers. I'm David Cam. And you're listening to the Channis podcast.

Hello folks and welcome once again to the Channis podcast and a particular welcome to Drew and David there that you heard in our intro. They are kickstarter backers of ours and today they're going to be our guest editors for our listener questions special.

Which means that we will have to remember how to make podcasts because it's been a couple of weeks. We need to remember our opinions and all sorts of things. Yes, there are questions about the ultimate tennis show down Matt. So dust off your knuckles. He's he's obviously in fighting mood today is Matt because as I look at him here on my laptop screen. He is wearing his full and shirt. You look resplendent Matt.

I've gone a bit early on the full and shirt. We don't kick off for another 10 hours or so. But yes, quite quite nervous today, but wearing full and colors. Matt's team for them are playing in the first leg of the playoffs. This is stage one of three in their attempt to get promoted back to another season of misery in the Premier League.

Alongside David, he's already confirmed to be subjecting himself to a year of misery in the Premier League next season.

Yeah, the night before I watched my team just stumble over the finish line. I watched Watford in the Premier League, Niel Ford down against Manchester City in about half an hour.

I really did change my mind as to whether I wanted to go up or not.

It made me think, you know, Matt, maybe think back to when we were when we were booking and planning our trip to the French Open.

And planning our early days schedule around your travel to the playoffs finals in Wembley.

I said, would it be okay if I did a trip back to London if full and get in the playoffs finals during the French Open?

And we all decided that that would be content gold.

Yes.

And then the universe conspired against us. And here we are six months later making more lockdown content. Enjoy everyone.

But we love to listen to questions once, don't we? It gives us a chance to rant and rave.

And yeah, give all our juicy opinions about things. And it is it's Drew and David that have picked out the best of the questions from social media.

They've come up with some of their own as well. And they're good questions. They're quite meaty. So prepare yourselves. Folks, you ready?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Matt's never looked more ready. He's had a hair cut. He's, yeah.

What do we think of the hair cut? I mean, it's pretty dramatic, isn't it? He did go four and a half months without touching that hair.

Yes, I think any haircut would have been quite dramatic because it's quite transformative.

Did you keep a lock of the hair?

No.
