Mohammad
Welcome, everyone, to a very special episode of our podcast! Today, we're diving into the incredible story of an unbreakable friendship. I’m your host, Mohammad, and joining me is my co-host, Leyla. We’re going to explore the hilarious and heartwarming adventures of a group of friends who met through gaming and have been inseparable ever since. So, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, and let’s get started!
Leyla
Hi, Mohammad! I’m so excited to be here. This is such a fun topic. Can you give us a quick overview of how this group of friends first met? I’m sure the story is as entertaining as the adventures you’re about to share.
Mohammad
Absolutely, Leyla! It all started with a simple game of Apex Legends. I was just another player, but then this one guy, Hatem, called me out of the blue and said, 'Hey, let’s play Minecraft together.' At first, I was a bit skeptical because Hatem didn’t even have a computer, but he managed to make it work. From there, we started playing together, and soon enough, more friends joined in. There was Mohammad B, who had these wild claims about being a Lat, and Arad, who we affectionately call 'Kachl-e-Aeenah'—meaning 'future bald head'—because we all joked that he’d end up bald one day. It’s been a wild ride ever since!
Leyla
That’s such a unique way to meet! Each of these friends sounds so different. Can you tell us a bit more about their personalities? I’m especially curious about Hatem with his curly hair and Arad’s fear of going outside.
Mohammad
Sure thing, Leyla! Hatem is this energetic guy with curly hair who’s always up for anything. He used to do taekwondo and was part of a club, but now he’s all about watching anime and playing games. Arad, on the other hand, is this introverted soul who rarely leaves his house. He’s always been a bit of a homebody, and we’d always joke with him, saying, 'Arad, go out and feel the grass!' Even with his best friend, Mohammad B, who lives nearby, he rarely goes out. It’s a mix of personalities that makes our group so dynamic and fun.
Leyla
That’s really interesting! I can imagine how those differences could lead to some hilarious moments. Speaking of which, what are some of the games you guys play together, and who’s the best at what?
Mohammad
Well, we’ve played a variety of games over the years. I’m a big Apex Legends fan, and I’d say I’m pretty good at it. Hatem and Mohammad B were all about Fortnite for a while. They were so into it that they’d play for hours, and we’d always tease them, saying, 'Why aren’t you playing Apex with us?' Arad, on the other hand, is more into casual games like Human Fall Flat, which we all played together and had a blast with. Each of us has our own specialties, and that makes our gaming sessions even more enjoyable.
Leyla
That sounds like a lot of fun! I’m sure there are some memorable adventures and funny moments you could share with us. What’s one of your favorite memories from all the times you’ve spent together?
Mohammad
Oh, there are so many! One that stands out is our trip to Gorgan. I went with Mohammad B to visit Arad’s place. We spent the day by the water, and Mohammad B kept trying to push me in! I didn’t back down, of course, and we ended up pushing each other into the water. We even got into a bit of a scuffle, and everyone thought we were acting like addicts because we were so wild. Arad, meanwhile, was swimming like a fish, and we couldn’t catch him. It was a day full of laughter and mischief.
Leyla
That’s such a fun story! It’s clear that you all have a strong bond. Speaking of bonds, what about the nicknames and inside jokes? I’m sure there are some hilarious ones you could share.
Mohammad
Oh, there are plenty! Hatem’s house is known as 'Hotel Hassanpour' because it’s always so busy and noisy with his family. Mohammad B got the nickname 'Nob Dog' because his character in Minecraft was always dying. And as I mentioned, Arad is 'Kachl-e-Aeenah' because we all joked that he’d go bald. These nicknames are a big part of our friendship and add to the fun.
Leyla
Those nicknames are so creative! I’m sure they’ve added a lot of humor to your interactions. Now, what about the challenges of maintaining a long-distance friendship? How do you all manage to stay close despite living in different places?
Mohammad
It’s definitely a challenge, but we’ve managed to stay close through regular gaming sessions, video calls, and the occasional in-person meet-up. We’ve been friends for about five years now, and even though some of us, like Hatem and Mohammad B, live close to each other, they don’t see each other as much as you’d think. But the bond we’ve built is strong, and we always find ways to stay connected, no matter the distance.
Leyla
That’s really inspiring! I’m sure there have been some tough moments too. Can you tell us about a time when the group faced a disappointment or misunderstanding, and how you handled it?
Mohammad
There was one time when we were all invited to a party at Mohammad B and Arad’s place, but they didn’t invite us. We were all pretty disappointed and a bit hurt, but we didn’t show it. It was a bit of a misunderstanding, and we sorted it out later. It’s moments like these that test the strength of a friendship, but we’ve always managed to work through them and come out even stronger.
Leyla
That’s a testament to the depth of your friendship. It’s not just about the good times but also how you handle the tough ones. What about the diverse interests and hobbies within the group? How do those differences impact your friendship?
Mohammad
It’s actually one of the things that makes our group so unique. Hatem is into anime and gaming, Mohammad B has his wild claims about being a Lat, and Arad is a bit of a homebody who loves casual games. Despite these differences, we’ve found ways to enjoy each other’s interests and hobbies. It’s all about being open-minded and supportive, which has only made our friendship richer and more meaningful.
Leyla
That’s beautiful! It’s clear that your childhood experiences have shaped your current relationships in many ways. As you look to the future, what do you hope for this group of friends?
Mohammad
I hope that no matter what life throws at us, we’ll always have each other’s backs. Whether it’s through gaming, sharing inside jokes, or just being there for each other, I believe our friendship will continue to grow and thrive. We’ve come a long way, and I’m excited to see where our journey takes us next.
Leyla
