Hey, what's up, Super Simpson? Welcome back to another episode of Squid Game, a simply

0:15.0

technological podcast. Hello, which one of us lives, which one of us dies? Only one winner

can remain. I would let you win. Ah, sweetie. Okay. What's going on? Everyone's talking

about this new Netflix series, Squid Game. It's this nine episode, each an hour long Korean

0:38.5
