In Episode 145, Mike, Trevor and special guest Jordan Kurtz dive into one of their most thought-provoking conversations yet. From the idea of having an internal monologue (or not), to why some people can completely shut their brains off while others are stuck in a constant loop of thoughts, the conversation quickly turns into a hilarious—and surprisingly deep—debate about how our minds actually work. The discussion then shifts into bigger topics surrounding government trust, media influence, cost of living, inflation, the American Dream, college degrees, social work, taxes, personal responsibility, financial literacy, politics, social media algorithms, and the future of success in America. The guys debate whether society has become too dependent on handouts, if the system rewards the wrong behaviors, and why they believe hard work, sacrifice, and personal accountability still matter in today's world. They also share behind-the-scenes stories from Team Awesome Podcast Studios, discuss content creation, podcast production challenges, Discord, YouTube memberships, fishing trips, UFC stories, and plenty of the off-the-rails humor that After The Final Bell is known for. Whether you're interested in UFC, entrepreneurship, politics, psychology, self-improvement, current events, media bias, or just listening to three friends have an uncensored conversation, this episode has something for you.

From the shocking Gilgo Beach serial killer case to what it actually takes to evade law enforcement for years, they explore true crime, criminal psychology, serial killers, cold cases, forensic investigations, and why some murder cases remain unsolved despite today's technology. The conversation takes plenty of unexpected turns as they debate whether serial killers secretly want the fame, discuss documentaries like the Toy Box Killer, talk about military service, PTSD, crime investigations, interrogation tactics, and the challenges detectives face when trying to convict suspects. It's equal parts thought-provoking, hilarious, and completely off the rails. The guys also recap their incredible experience partnering with Jackass: Best & Last, share behind-the-scenes stories from their iFLY indoor skydiving adventure, and explain how the original Jackass crew inspired many of the stunts and adventures they've filmed over the years.

Are people on TikTok sharing their real struggles, or are some creators exaggerating personal trauma for views, sympathy, and engagement? The conversation explores how social media rewards emotional content, why viral TikTok lives seem filled with endless personal tragedies, and whether audiences have become too quick to believe everything they see online. The guys also discuss Colorado schools considering stricter phone bans for students and what happens when law enforcement transports fugitives on commercial airplanes. From social media culture and mental health to school policies and bizarre real-world stories, this episode tackles some of the most talked-about issues shaping modern life. #TikTok #SocialMedia #TraumaFarming #MentalHealth #ColoradoSchools #PhoneBan #Podcast #AfterTheFinalBell #TrendingNews #TikTokLive #InternetCulture
