Phil and Kiera break down Episode 3, “001,” with special guest Heidi Wong—poet, writer, and horror fanatic. Gi-hun’s shocking return to the games sets the stage for a Red Light, Green Light redux like we’ve never seen before. As he tries to lead the players to safety, the question looms: how much can he really change the games? And the biggest twist yet—Player 001’s true identity is finally revealed, leaving us with more questions than answers.

Plus, we dive into the complex morality of the players, and debate which players we’re rooting for…and who we’d love to see lose. (Hint: “Señorita!”) Finally, Heidi and Phil face off in a chaotic 1:1 battle of Sikhye Pong—powered by the sweet, traditional Korean rice drink.

SPOILER ALERT! Make sure you watch Squid Game Season 2 Episode 3 before listening on.
