Top Comments of this video!! :3
As a Greek, I have never met a Turkish person I did not like. Lovely, warm and kind people that we have so much in common with (and that is how all the Turkish people in the video seemed to be as well)
It feels a bit like we are siblings that grew up with different parents - love from your neighbours to the West ❤

I waited long for this very good episode. Thank you!
Another history fun fact:
In around 1890 an Ottoman ship named Ertuğrul shipwrecked off the coast of Japan as it came back from a diplomatic mission. The local population helped rescue the surviving crew and since then the Ottomans(and later Turkey) had a warm relationship with Japan. They even made a movie about it called „Ertuğrul 1890” or „125 years memory“.

I was lucky enough to meet you in Kadıköy-- thank you so so much for being so kind! This is awkward to say but I was in a car accident a couple hours ago. Thankfully everyone is fine but I'm still really shocked. I was looking for a distraction and man, this is absolutely perfect! I've been waiting for this episode for years and it's helping me so much right now. Teşekkürler for everything ☀️💛

As a 2nd generation Hungarian, I met and made a lot of Turkish friends in college. We had a lot in common and have fun exchanging aspects of our culture. We also have a very similar alphabet so I can pronounce a lot of Turkish, even though I can’t understand it, which made for many amusing moments.
Special mention to Altin Gün, who I believe single handedly re-introduced Anatolian Rock to the international community! They’re by far my favourite Turkish band!

In Bulgaria we learned that almost everyone loves Turkish Delight, along with the coffee or tea. And yes they had “Doner Kebab” too. My wife’s family took us to a Turkish restaurant in Westchester run by a Ukrainian, he explained to us that he was a smuggler during the USSR days, he would sneak across the Black Sea at night, stay in Turkey all day, and then sneak back in the next night, and he grew to love the food so much he wanted to open a Turkish restaurant!

Before my great grandmother died she started learning turkish because her husband (My great grandfather who died a month before she died) was in the air force and turkey had been her favorite country she ever lived in when her husband was in the millitary. So when I think of the country Turkiye I think of my great grandmother (R.I.P)

One day I met a 14 year old Turkish kid with his aunt and they showed me and my mom around Istanbul. I promised him he could be in the Turkey episode when it came up. 5 years later I kept that promise. Say "hi" to our youngest guest host, Ege, who became a part-time metalcore emo musician and international relations major. Proud of you man! You've grown up! And HUGE thanks to the ~60 Turkish Subscribers that met up with us in Izmir and Istanbul and helped with information for this episode! ALSO yes I am aware the UN recognizes this country as "Türkiye" however we follow the English names (English hs no "ü") and also... I'm not the UN Enjoy!
