Shattered Wisdom

💍 Knowing everything you know now about your wife… would you still marry her?

Sounds like an easy question.

Until you actually have to answer it.

In this episode of Shattered Wisdom, Jack and Jerett take an honest—and potentially dangerous 😂—look at marriage.

If they met their wives today as the people they are right now, would they still be attracted to them? Would the things that seem normal after years of marriage look completely different on a first date? What habits would suddenly become red flags?

But there's another side to the question:

Would their wives still choose THEM?

We talk about how people change during marriage, raising families, attraction, annoying habits, arguments, growing together, things we take for granted, and what you learn about your spouse after spending years building a life together.

And ultimately:

If you could go back knowing everything you know today, would you make the same choice again?

It's funny, uncomfortable, honest, and exactly the kind of conversation we created Shattered Wisdom to have.

🎙️ Shattered Wisdom — Real conversations. No filter.

Now we want to hear from you:

Would you marry your spouse again?

One worked behind the walls. One lived behind them. Now they're sitting at the same table.

Jason returns to Shattered Wisdom after spending 24 years working in corrections—but this conversation is different.

Joining us is Jerett's brother Jeremy, who spent roughly 5 years incarcerated.

For the first time, we're asking a former correctional officer and a former inmate the same questions about prison and comparing their answers.

How do inmates really view correctional officers? How do officers view the people they're responsible for supervising? Who actually controls the environment inside a prison? What does respect mean behind the walls? And what does spending years inside that environment do to a person long after they leave?

Jason shares what he saw from the officer's side.

Jeremy shares what he experienced from the inmate's side.

Sometimes their perspectives couldn't be more different. Other times, they understand each other's experiences more than you might expect.

This isn't about deciding who was right or wrong.

It's about understanding what prison can look like depending on which side of the bars you're standing on.

If you could ask both a former correctional officer and a former inmate one question, what would it be?

How much of what we think we know about prison is actually true?

Jason is back for Episode #2 of our prison series. After spending 24 years working inside the prison system, he's separating prison myths from reality and giving Jack and Jerett a firsthand perspective on what life behind the walls is actually like.We get into the things movies and television get wrong, relationships between inmates and correctional officers, violence inside prison, everyday inmate life, mental health, rehabilitation, prison culture, and some of the misconceptions people on the outside have about the people living and working inside.Some of the answers aren't what you'd expect.This isn't about glorifying prison or pretending there are simple answers. It's three guys having an honest conversation about a world most of us will never experience firsthand.🎙️ Shattered Wisdom — Real conversations.

WE'RE BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING. 😂

After taking a detour to tell The Story We Never Told, Jack and Jerett are getting Shattered Wisdom back to its roots: two friends, no script, and a conversation about something a lot of men seem to understand instinctively…

Tools. Trucks. And tactical gear.

Why do men love this stuff so much?

Is it really about owning the biggest truck, having a garage full of tools, or buying another piece of gear we can somehow convince our wives we “needed”? Or is there something deeper behind it?

In this episode, Jack and Jerett talk about the appeal of being capable, prepared and self-reliant—having the right tool for the job, building and fixing things yourself, getting outdoors, customizing your truck, collecting useful gear, and that strange satisfaction men get from owning something that's probably way more capable than they'll ever actually need. 😂

And when we say tactical gear, we don't just mean military equipment. We're talking everyday gear, outdoor equipment, EDC, flashlights, bags, knives, preparedness gear and all the other stuff guys somehow find a reason to buy.

Of course, the bigger question is:

Why do men seem to be wired this way?

Is it preparedness? Independence? Adventure? Status? The satisfaction of solving problems? Or do we just really like cool shit?

Jack and Jerett have some thoughts.

🎙️ Shattered Wisdom — Season 2, Episode 25

Real People. Real Stories. No Script.

👇 MEN: What's the one tool, truck accessory, or piece of gear you absolutely did NOT need—but bought anyway?

And ladies… what does your husband keep buying that you don't understand? 😂

In Episode 9 Jack and Jerett are joined by **JJ and Kendrah** for one of the most revealing conversations of the series. Throughout this journey, allegations were made about our family that had very real consequences. In this episode, we're going through those allegations and comparing them with what actually happened, what we personally witnessed, and the reality we experienced behind closed doors. What was alleged? But what REALLY happened? The four of us talk openly about the claims that were made, the events surrounding them, the details that were misunderstood or misrepresented, and what it feels like when an allegation can take on a life of its own.Then, toward the end of the episode, we step outside of our own story and look at the bigger picture.We examine publicly available CPS and child-welfare statistics and discuss the difference between a **report, an allegation, an investigation, and a final finding**—because those terms don't all mean the same thing. Federal NCANDS data actually tracks these stages separately, including referrals that are screened out, reports that are investigated or assessed, and final dispositions such as substantiated, indicated, unsubstantiated, and closed with no finding. Protecting children matters. So does getting the truth right. We're sharing our experiences, memories, perspectives, and the information available to us so that you can hear our side, look at the information, and make up your own mind

There are moments when depression becomes so heavy that simply making it through another day can feel impossible.

In Episode 8 of The Story We Never Told, Jerett shares one of the darkest chapters of his life.

Living alone in the apartment and separated from the life and family he knew, Jerett's mental health continued to deteriorate. The isolation, uncertainty, and emotional weight of everything happening around him pushed him into a severe depression. He began feeling like he was becoming a burden to the friends and family who were trying desperately to support him.

For the people who loved him, the fear was very real.

Jack opens up about watching his best friend disappear further into depression and reaching a point where he genuinely feared Jerett might die. Friends and family worried about him, checked on him, and tried to keep him connected during a time when Jerett was struggling to see a way forward himself.

Jerett shares what was happening inside his mind during those days, what ultimately helped pull him through, and what it feels like now to look back at a version of himself who had nearly given up hope.

This isn't an episode about weakness.

It's about what severe depression can actually look like, the importance of people who refuse to give up on someone they love, and how a person can find a reason to keep going even when they can't see one themselves.

If you're struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or a qualified mental health professional. And if someone in your life suddenly withdraws, says they're a burden, or doesn't seem like themselves, don't assume somebody else will check on them. Make the call. Send the text. Show up.

Sometimes knowing someone still cares can mean more than you realize.

We thought going to court would finally bring answers. We thought the facts would be heard, the misunderstandings would be cleared up, and our family could start moving forward.

We were wrong.

In Episode 7 of The Story We Never Told, Jack and Jerett continue the story as the family's journey moves into the courtroom. What they believed would finally provide clarity instead became another chapter filled with delays, uncertainty, frustration, and the exhausting reality of waiting for decisions that could change their family's future.

The guys talk about what it was like navigating a system they had never experienced before, showing up when they were told, complying with what was asked of them, and repeatedly believing that the next hearing might finally be the one that moved everything forward.

They also discuss the emotional toll of having major decisions about your family placed in other people's hands—and what happens mentally when days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months.

At this point, this wasn't only about Jerett's original mental health crisis anymore. The entire family was now living through a different kind of crisis.

This episode is told from our personal experiences, memories, and perspectives. Some details have been omitted or generalized to protect privacy.
