## Resource

In this episode, Theo, Tom, and Reev dive into the "breaking news" surrounding KSI reportedly leaving the Sidemen and discuss how this massive shift could impact the future of the brand. Tom recounts his "trip of a lifetime" to Budapest for the Champions League Final, where he stayed at the Arsenal team hotel and partied with football legends like Rio Ferdinand, Jamie Carragher, and Ashley Cole. He also reveals what it’s really like to be playfully choked out by UFC star Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett. Meanwhile, Reev shares a cautionary tale from a stag do in Prague. The trio also reflects on the cultural impact of their show "Pitch Side" and wraps up the FPL season with brutal forfeits, including a £5,000 penalty and a stand-up comedy challenge.
