Explaination
1 (Ep. 1)
The cat wanders in a subway station named "H. Bayer Station". Bismuth lived for a long time, both as a child and as an adult, in the State Square in Tel Aviv - which is surrounded by a street named H. Baye.
The cat sprayed graffiti on the wall with the image of former footballer David Beckham. Bismuth worked as a reporter and sports commentator for Maariv newspaper. When he covered a football game in the United States, he spent an entire day with Beckham and his wife Victoria, and even became friends with the two.
A Belgian flag was painted on a wall at the station and the cat that scratched the flag had a red heart. Bismuth worked as the foreign correspondent for Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, and as part of the position was responsible for news coverage from Belgium. Among other things, he reported on the case of the prosecution of the former Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, in Brussels.
Two security guards dressed in rapper clothes stood at the station. Made In England was written on the back of the security guard. Bismuth studied at the English school "Tabita" in Jaffa, a school for children of ambassadors, while he was a student in elementary school.
The cat took out a gold chain with a Star of David pendant from his pocket and gave it to the security guard. This is of course a reference to Israel Hayom, the newspaper that Bismuth edited for years.
A huge graffiti was painted on the wall: 24K. This refers to the "24 Hours" supplement of Yedioth Ahronoth, in which Bismuth has published countless articles over the years. There he also met his second wife, who was the producer of the supplement "24 Hours".
1 (Ep. 2)
While rehearsing for a duet with Eden Ben Zaken, the singer's phone rang repeatedly. When she answered, she was told: "Hello, we're talking from Gideon Sa'ar's office. Are you by any chance near the cat?" Before he joined the Likud and became a member of the Knesset, Bismuth was a political commentator. In the past, Sa'ar was strongly associated with the Likud party, to which Bismuth now belongs.

At the musical song night, the cat chose to sing "Oh, Pretty Woman". He said, "Two surprising facts about the song: it became a musical on Broadway in 2018, with the lyrics written by Bryan Adams. Producer Arnon Milchan claims that the title of the original film was a suggestion by none other than Mahud Olmert, later the Prime Minister of Israel." Bismuth and Adams are both graduates of the "Tabita" school. As for Ehud Olmert, it was an allusion to politics and that Bismuth was a political commentator.
