The State Of Our Minds: Recent Episodes

Arman A. Naseh

Greetings to all viewers! I am genuinely happy to finally do something where I can express myself using my voice and words; making a podcast! In each episode, I will talk about something I find appealing to viewers or other satisfying concepts of life+society, or maybe even stories and experiences that I can reflect about :). Although I feel that I am capable of making podcasts myself, I'm happy to have guests opt-in and speak out with me on my episodes! If you wish, please leave a comment or leave constructive feedback for me to read! Thank you for tuning in! -Arman :)

In this episode, Arman hosts his first-ever interview with Charlie about his incredibly well written ongoing novella and soon-to-be film series, Memepocalypse Now! Hope you enjoy this one cause this will be his first of many professional episodes as he is transitioning into a more professional and serious podcast!

If you would like to learn more, read about his series, read the published chapters, or watch his film Differences, I have attached the link below so feel free to peruse!

Hey everyone, before I describe this episode, I just want to mention that I needed quite a lot of time to upload this episode cause I moved back into my dorm and adjusted back to my college life as an engineering student. I usually post every few weeks, but I needed almost a month for this one, and thank you so much for your patience with me making this episode.

In this episode, I am joined by my best friend Peter once again in an incredible episode where the two of us described a range of subjects from climate change and how we as humans need to cooperate and contribute saving our environment, to how surprisingly intelligent some animals like elephants actually are.

I hope all of you enjoy this episode, cause the two of us had an awesome time making it!!!

Its been a very long time coming, as I have returned at last to kick off a new season of my podcast by continuing from a previous episode, except with two of my good friends Ryan and Bianca as our guests for this episode! We had a lot to share with each other, but lets just say the habits we talk about and the habits we have seen from others are somehow...out of the ordinary, hence the Rock thumbnail for the episode! But other than that, I enjoyed making and editing this episode and I look forward to rebounding my podcast to a whole new level! More will be revealed soon, and til then, please enjoy it everyone!!!

BTW two of my other friends Joe and Tyson pop in for a surprise as well :)

Warning: This episode is explicit(we cuss extremely often) and this episode gets really loud at times so I highly recommend you don't wear headphones when listening to this episode.

Before you read the full description, I just have to address that this is by far the most hilarious mistake I have ever made to bring back this podcast and I have never made an episode where I would often laugh so hard in it. Also, a little disclaimer, don't take a lot of what we say seriously, but don't worry because we haven't said anything offensive; all we did was just make a bunch of stupid, hysterical, and at times vulgar(don't take those seriously) jokes, just as any pair of best friends would do.

I never thought I would ever say this but even though this is a Monkey based episode, and we tell so many jokes about monkeys while we listen and somewhat sing to a really dumb but hilarious song...yes a song...that's called Monki. to be fair, that song is really the origin behind our monkey jokes, especially 'Meeee and my Monke'. We even talk about how our monkey jokes correlate with our past inside jokes about Birthday Clowns and a character from the movie Pulp Fiction called 'The Gimp'.

"I'm not going to make you my gimp, I'm going to make you my birthday clown!" -Peter

It soon gets to a deep conversation where I disagree with Peter's claim of being a narcissist, not just because I can tell he isn't, but also because I know what it feels like to be a narcissist since I talk about my history of expressing narcissistic behavior to the point where some of my friends have actually called me a narcissist before, which is something I'm still improving myself on to this day. Afterwards, we talk about how even though Chick FilA's food is good, it's very disrespectful of them to fund for anti-LGBTQ+ and hate groups over the years because I guess its just too hard for some people to respect others just because of who they are, who they love, and how they want to live; while we go at it, we end up discussing how Peter's trans brother James has pretty much become one of the bros and we end up roasting one of our friends with a hilarious remark while we are at it. I also get to realize that apparently one of our friends is pansexual as well and that's actually dope of him because he’s a really good friend to both of us

Lastly, as mentioned we not only refer to and tell some of our own inside jokes(if you know, you know), but we also talk about one of today's recent memes with an image of Megamind peeking along with the captions, No B*tches? and to end this episode right, Peter tells me about one of the wildest pranks I have ever heard about, when peter and one of our old friends executed a rather during their 5th grade graduation from an elementary school I used to go to before I left for a different school in 5th grade.

The time has come, and yes, it took me long enough, to finally reboot my podcast by kicking the second part of my second chapter off with an art-themed podcast with a very close friend of mine. The two of us talk about our love for art, about how anyone can do art, and most importantly, about how everything in this world is art(if you think about it, it actually is). And I gotta say, I couldn't have done an episode like this without her, since she really knows how to explain how fond she is of art. For that, I appreciate all the effort we put in for this that we might even do another art-themed episode. For now, enjoy this episode, it was beyond fun to make :)

Welcome to an episode where me and autumn pretty much let ourselves out on the attempted coup of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters on Wednesday. This is a moment that will go down in history and both of us will be beyond embarrassed to talk to our future children about it. Hence, we had to be serious in this episode, making it perhaps the most serious episode I ever made.

Props to Autumn for joining me for the second time on the show!🙌

THIS EPISODE IS CLEAN

In this episode, I experience the first time where I let out my thoughts and emotions to tell you guys why Im starting a self-care routine. I haven't been at my best and I have been living an unhealthy lifestyle for the past few months, and it's my job to discipline myself and change that. Tonight, I will be talking about why I'm committed to putting in more effort for myself and take care of myself before others.

Lastly, Im finally feeling alive and human again

Season 2 Episode 3:

I have not laughed this hard in a while, till I realized that the making of this episode...was epic!!!!

Warning! contains super explicit material and this episode is NOT for babies. Before I explain this episode, I gotta tell you that this is by far the best one I have made for this chapter so far, but let me tell you why. In this episode, we were at our ABSOLUTE best and we had conversations ranging from a nightmare where I woke up and survived a few days in school as a girl to getting pissed at Geneva for muttering WAP(yes, it's that one song you heard from tik tok). This also took me a while to edit, but this is an epic end product. So please, enjoy our series of wild conversations.

Season 2 Episode 2:

I have lived for 18 years and I have never been this excited to go back to school this year; not after 3 months, but 7 months, and it's still pretty painful to think about how I have not seen many of my buddies in person for the longest time.

In this episode, I will be discussing about why I am excited to go back to school as a senior and why I feel that this is probably gonna be one of the most abnormal years that I will be going through. We all understand that we are going through tough times, but I have been beyond grateful for my school to open a hybrid schedule for us, and for that reason, I have a good feeling about this year.

By the way, I may have a somewhat raspy voice in this episode cuz I was a pretty tired, considering that I was recording at 2 in the morning...

This episode is the start of the second chapter to my podcast, and I know I have not uploaded anything since April because my life has been pretty stressful since I didn't have much time to make my episodes. However, that does not mean the podcast is over since now is a good time to bring it back!

This is it.....the final episode of the season. It was the finale, but we made it count. I hope this episode will be a banger like My Strange Habits and My Views and Opinions of Friendship, because of how Kennedy was the best to be a guest for this!

Now many of you viewers have had questions regarding how I was doing with Kennedy when I was a sophomore, and we answer them. Now hear me out! As much as Kennedy hates it whenever I called myself a simp, I was not wrong because I had to tell the truth. But the two of us realized that we are better off as not friends, but as squadmates and dont give me that friendzone BS! >:( The two of us discuss our work ethics, how we handle quarantine, how she thought I was the VIRGIN prince(I mean, she is not wrong) instead of the PERSIAN prince, and show how my rejection turned out to be better than having a relationship. She even told me that I have the husband material, but the problem is that I don't have feelings for anyone, and I have my reasons that you will understand when you listen to the episode. But look at it this way, who are we now to each other? It is more authentic than you think.

Oh, and one more thing. I promised her to mention this but.....

I'm that bittttttch. been that bitch, still that bitch!

WE CURSE QUITE A BIT IN THIS EPISODE AND IT'S NOT CENSORED.
IN this episode, me and my bros create a LONG episode where we speak from our hearts on various discussions that come into our minds, but this was before we all went to bed since we were pretty tired. I would say that our entire Facetime session was made into this episode, and I find that to be wholesome since i need company here and there(and look who I get to talk to :) )

BTW, I was told that I should name the episode FBGM(you will see what it stands for...)
OTHERWISE ENJOY Y'ALL!!!

Now that we all stayed home for almost a month, I decided to use a little lift; You may have seen the recent Snapchat trend of bingo, where one crosses a spot just like how one would place a chip on that spot, but here we are "playing" Quarantine Bingo and discuss our views behind those spots. Brady and Victor also pop in for a bit in the episode as well, but ENJOY THE MONTAGE Y'ALL!!!

first off before I mention anything else, allow me to give a big shoutout to Autumn THE STALLION Bryant for helping me make this episode. It took us a while for us in the making, but it turned out to be outstanding, so give it a listen :)

In this episode, the two of us discuss why we love psych so much, what we learn from it, and a fundamental aspect of Psychology(that being conformity). there is a lot that we mention, such as how we display conformity vs how we display non-conformity, and also how we have developed from this aspect of social psychology. Though we have not taken AP Psych yet, we will take it next year and honestly, we are gonna love it.

Otherwise, enjoy this epic episode!

This is a wholesome episode, featuring my guests Dylan Moore and Hannah Hanson, we all have a series of intriguing discussions from how we cope with social distancing to Dylan's stash of Power Rangers movies(yes, an ALL OUT STASH!) and many more!!!

We also mess around and vibe with what comes to our minds, just like any normal conservation, but we also mess around at the same time; Dylan's got the piano to add the soundtrack for my podcast, Hannah writes on her notebook, and I munch on some toasted bread I made earlier.

I also took pretty long to edit this episode since I made it CLEAN by bleeping the cusswords and there were parts that had to be deleted to make this episode as short and coherent as possible.

Otherwise, enjoy this episode my friends :)

This episode is a group podcast featuring two of my buddies, Dylan Moore and Joe Penovich, and we discuss about what we are just vibing with; Subjects that came to our mind such as the coronavirus epidemic(now a pandemic), a bit of ASMR, Honors Functions, The Wedding Singer musical(we get harmonious at some point), and our backstories + affection behind our taste in music.

After 2 weeks of going through a lot(This is my grace period to make a few episodes before I go through more), I figure this is a pretty good time to make an episode before I prep for an AP Comp Sci make-up test! BUT FYI, I CUSS IN THIS EPISODE A LOT BECAUSE I GOT KINDA MAD! That was also when I experienced the ADHD habit that I vibe with; mood swings! So yeah...Enjoy the episode!

Also I mentioned that I GENUINELY HATE SNAPCHAT ADS!!!

I thought this was going to be an episode of my miniseries but it turns out I was wrong. In this episode, I discuss a galore of strange habits that I do and it's been hard for me to control many of them, so I thought of sharing it out to everyone here so you can get to know a little more about myself too :)

ONE LAST THING I FORGOT TO MENTION IN THIS EPISODE...

I lick my Doritos before I eat them....Ive done that since I was a kid and I wanted to reflect on this

This is the first "minisode" of a series, that I decided to start, called Arman Says Real Shit. lemme explain the context, this started after I talked with 2 of my buddies August and Nathaniel about changing the podcast name to what is now the name of this miniseries, which is what gave me this idea! In each minisode, I talk for roughly 5 minutes for each episode about a small topic that has to do with my personal life and my feelings as long as I maintain my emotional balances(which I have always found hard for me to control). Otherwise, enjoy this and have a great rest of your day or evening!
-Prince :)

Note: I speak a little quietly on this one, since I recorded this at a super late time.

This episode features my guests Brady Swartz, Mingyang He, Victor Vassilian, and Caleb Caceres! Thank u guys for joining me on this episode!!!

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED! We curse quite a bit in this helluva long episode. This is also 45 minutes long so take your time, cuz you can always watch the rest later! This was filmed over a week ago, but it took me a long time to edit this for publishing. In this episode, we converse on various topics such as what snacks we like, what we like to drink in the morning before school, video games that we play, and even anime! we also talked about Star Wars, but thats on a different version, cuz there are a bit of spoilers there. Anyways, enjoy the long episode y'all!!!
-Arman :)

btw i posted a photo of THE SIMP BUCKSSSSS cuz i felt like it

This is an episode that I combined into a big subject from many recommendations from my fellow viewers! I describe my views on my interactions with individuals and groups based on my personal experiences! Otherwise, enjoy when you have time to listen :)

Its been a couple of months since I created an episode for a podcast, but whats crazy is that this is the first episode OF THIS SERIES that I named The Prince Sitrep.

On the evening of January 4th, Arman discusses his own personal views of various types of friendships in opinionated ways. Just know that it's from his point of view, and that is not necessarily like anyone else's views of that concept.

The late evening of January 18th was a great time for Arman to discuss about his challenges, concerns, and accomplishments that he has went through ever since the end of the 2019-2020 winter break.
