from LexMedia Podcasts · host LexMedia Podcasts
This week on Talking Shit About Nothing, Jimmy and Richie welcome a special guest with a wild backstory — Marcus Chapman (#209) from Squid Game: The Challenge. While filming the show, Jimmy and Marcus hit it off… eventually. First impressions nearly ended in a fight, but what started as tension turned into a real friendship forged through shared misery. The guys break down how they met, their early clashes, and what it was really like living inside the Squid Game experience. Marcus talks about making it all the way to spot 65 before being eliminated in the infamous marbles game, the brutal lack of food on set, and how he managed to lose 7 pounds during his time on the show. The conversation also dives into the personal side of Marcus’s life — from his dogs’ TikTok and YouTube channel, to his love of barbecue, and even his surprisingly calming gardening hobby. It’s a mix of chaos, laughs, and real moments as the boys reminisce about their experiences and bond over the shared insanity of Squid Game. Storytelling, roasting, and friendship — exactly what Talking Shit About Nothing does best. 🎭🔥
