What people are saying
“Oh I’ve never clicked so fast. I love hearing Vik on podcasts. He articulates his words so well.”
“PLEASE Have Zerkaa aka Josh on next, his business mind is something worth studying”
“The best thing about the Sidemen imo, is their individualism. Not one person is like the other. Their personalities clashing and coming together is what makes people come back. Also, Vikk is mad articulate”
“I still don't dislike KSI. But he has become full of himself. Hence the decision. Someone said past JJ would make fun if current, which I think is the saddest part here.”
