Sup, guys and gals! Welcome to another week of the one and only ARA Squad podcast (we broke fr). Time sure does move fast, huh? You blink, you lose, and 2025 is four months away from being done. In today's episode, we go deeper and deeper into technology, more importantly, PC Gaming. The topics of today include: How Rylan got the golden opportunity to get a beast of a PC but ended up getting fished. How Ali, our little broke boy, uses game directories to his advantage to game on his potato. And lastly, blind ranking male and female celebrities (spicy). This episode is pure tech-based for all the PC enthusiasts out there. Grab your gaming juice and wedges for this one... could be a long episode, who knows? Peace out, Peeps.

Greetings, fellow watchers! Welcome to yet another episode of the ARA Squad podcast, venturing onward and upward to August. We survived a month! Go US!! In this episode, we get to lie back and talk about: How Ali skipped almost two months' worth of college lectures so that he could binge on some trashy anime that he doesn't even remember. How Rylan liked close to 4,000 songs on Spotify... with pride or with regret? We'll find out! And lastly, how anime evolved from a niche medium to mainstream media, where everyone is familiar with it. This one is laid back and comfy to listen to with pretzels with peppery cheese on as a dip if you must (or a glass of water if you're broke like us xD). Adios.

Welcome, everyone, to another week of the ARA Squad podcast! It's almost been a whole month since we were born as a podcast, who woulda thunk? Have y'all ever skipped lectures to binge on anime? In this episode, we delve deep and talk about our top anime that we'd all die defending. The top nine anime from each of us that we hold dearly. A 3x3 if you will. Make sure to use those nice over-ear headphones because this one's going to be deep. I would suggest a hashbrown and a glass of orange juice for this one. Enjoy!

Greetings, fellow cultured people, was the COVID-19 era just a fever dream, or was it real? Evading Fares seems fun, but can it get you jail time? In this week's episode of the ARA Squad podcast, we get to dive in and explore: How Ali got into gacha games and ruined his life and everyone else's. How Aasir went through two years of high school and spent zero bucks on bus fares. Rylan's tasteful throwback to his old solo podcasting days, and last but not least, the 2020 era, where the global drama wouldn't slow down, and people were at home playing Gacha Games when the world was suffering. Fasten your podcast belts, guys, because this one is spicy. Do enjoy this one with a cup of coffee and some leftovers. Oh, and keep yourself hydrated. ARA Squad Disconnecting.

Hey everyone, the world's ending, but at least we have bad anime to watch and have relatable Ls. We survived the first week. Shocker. This week in the ARA Squad Podcast, we get to explore how WW3 was predicted 12 years ago by a video game. How bad Shonen has gotten compared to decades ago, and how brutal it is to binge the Top 250 movies on IMDb. Do enjoy this pod anywhere you can, from the pockets of your pants to a theatre room, if you're filthy rich out there. Stay tuned every Wednesday for a healthy dose of meme bombs, fat Ls, and relatable content. ARA Squad Signing off.

The Pilot Episode. This episode is a mix of Aasir's descent into Soulsbourne Purgatory, where dying 525 times becomes his personality. Ali's artistic journey, paired with his CoD gaming history, where he talks about The Art Of War. Rylan's trashy guilty pleasures and his rare degenerate side that no one gets to see, and how he gets cancelled for it.
