I have some episodes of a TV series you can watch. It's a Turkish historical TV drama though. I started translating it, so the first 20 episodes (white subtitles) are my translation. The Following (yellow subs) are someone else's. If I find a TV show I like I might clean up the subs because Turkish can look really funny if the translator does not understand English syntax and grammar that well lol. Anyway, the reason why you might find this one interesting is that this TV series aired about one month before Oct 7. And it is a Turkish/Pakistani collab TV series. (The Pakistani Actors are coming in season 2, which I will also add because I am still recording it.) I thought this TV series was really weird, because obviously the script and filming began way before Oct 7. Probably over a year before. Yet some of the characters and plots/story lines are so weird and suspiciously relevant. Especially this Jewish character/villain called Avram. I did a thing about how his character kind of didn't really make any sense. I called him a Bargain Bin Mob Boss, and you will see why, if you watch. He debuts in episode 12, and he dies in episode 15- I think. (I might be slightly off, because I am way passed those episodes.) When me and a friend started watching this, we started to suspect that Turkiye and Pakistan (whose TV stuff is controlled by the government of course and used for soft power/their own Hasbara- lol- knew about the Oct 7. Maybe Egypt tipped them off too since Israel ignored them. I don't know. You should check it out lol. (Warning episodes are kind of long. Turkish TV is like that. They are very good attention spans apparently. My Drive with the Translated Episodes (I am still adding too): https://drive.proton.me/urls/HY7QCBMP0C#Quw3ZKalVjiM My Episode (Q & A for Ep 8-14) about how weird I thought Avram's character was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJsOaMB4FMM I have another Q & A about Ep 1-7 too, if you want a kind of summary about what came before and you want to skip to that characters episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcqrsSk9Rww

2025-12-15 16:55:02 +0000 UTC“The past times” ep 118 has Matt Leib on as a guest. “The past times “ is an offshoot of “the dollop “ which is Dave Anthony’s most successful podcast who did” the west wing thing!” With Josh ….. anyways there’s your six degrees of separation! I loved the WWT , go me through Covid .

2025-12-14 14:51:59 +0000 UTCI didn’t hear any mention that Sorkin left the show after Season 4 and therefore had little to nothing to do with these episodes. Maybe that was addressed, but knowing too much about the production of the West Wing is a curse I must share with you.

2025-12-13 19:25:04 +0000 UTCI still can’t believe that the IOF were bulldozing people in DECEMBER 2023 (and before that, but I’m speaking in the context of the “current” genocide) and that wasn’t as big a “deal” in the media as the fake dead babies. Like… they freaking BULLDOZED people. In tents. Is that not one of the most horrific things you’ve ever heard??? How is this so brushed over? It’s still one of the first things I think of when I need an example of why they really are that bad.

2025-12-13 19:12:12 +0000 UTCI’m so excited for this, I’m right in the middle of a re-listen to the West Wing Thing (the hosts are leftists). My b if this is mentioned later in the ep but WWT happened to get Marianne Williamson on when the Unity Intifada was going down . . . Dave was surprisingly polite when pushing back on her Zionism but they rectified her presence by having Noah Kulwin on the following episode. Derek Davison and Abby Martin were guests for these particular episodes. Highly recommend the whole pod, never have to watch a second of the west wing thanks to them.
