Add in World Cup ticket returns sparking global side-eye, and LeBron James officially not getting the starting nod for the 2026 All-Star Game. It’s fast, opinionated, and full of curveballs — just how Play by Play likes it.

Mark Levy: Stories Squid Game Should’ve Shown | Pod Friends This week’s Pod Friends featured guest is Mark Levy (@MarkLevy85 on Instagram), best known as Player 100 from Squid Game: The Challenge season 2. Joining Matt Scott (@MattScottGW), Mark opens up about resilience after bullying, growing up feeling different, and what it means to move through the world as someone who’s always been “weird” — and learning not just to survive, but to fully love who you are. Mark takes us through his journey of self-acceptance, passion, fandom, and community, including his decade-long love for the RHAP world and how reality TV became both an escape and a place of belonging. He reflects on how embracing his emotions, vulnerability, and enthusiasm helped shape his confidence, identity, and voice. The conversation also dives deep into Mark’s Squid Game: The Challenge experience — from the story of his relationship with his fiancée and their now-iconic Star Wars wedding dream, to how sharing that dream nearly got him eliminated without him ever knowing. Along the way, we unpack tears, vulnerability, the edit, and the surreal experience of watching deeply personal moments play out on a global stage. In a Pod Friends first, Mark also brings on LeAnn Plutnicki (@leannwplutnicki on Instagram) from Season 1 and Manfred Joa (aka Messy Manfred – @Manfred.Joa on Instagram) from Season 2 to pass the mic and spotlight voices he believes deserve to be heard. Together, they explore representation of older women, queer and Asian identity, moments that didn’t make the edit, and the complicated realities of telling your story through reality television. The group also reflects on the power of community, especially within RHAP, and what it means to define yourself rather than let an edit — or the internet — do it for you. If you’ve ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or reduced to a storyline, this episode is a powerful reminder that your story belongs to you — and that reclaiming it can be both healing and transformative.
