From officiating NCAA basketball games to helping grow a youth flag football program, Martin has spent a huge part of his life around sports—but from some very different perspectives.

This week on Shattered Wisdom, Jack and Jerett sit down with Martin.

We start with his time as an NCAA basketball referee and get into what it's actually like being the person with the whistle.

Martin talks about making decisions in a matter of seconds, dealing with coaches and players, handling pressure and criticism, the calls officials sometimes get wrong, and what people watching from the stands don't understand about refereeing.

Then we move from the basketball court to the football field.

Today, Martin is involved with Tri-City Flag Football League, a growing youth flag football program that's creating opportunities for kids to compete, learn and develop through sports.

That opens up a much bigger conversation.

We talk about parents on the sidelines, coaching kids, winning vs. development, playing time, sportsmanship, referee shortages, how competitive youth sports should be, and whether adults sometimes make kids' sports more complicated than they need to be.

Martin has been an official, he's dealt with coaches and players at a high level, and now he's seeing sports through the world of youth athletics.

Those experiences have given him an interesting perspective on one question:

What are we actually supposed to be teaching our kids through sports?

The wives are back... and things get competitive fast.

In this episode of Shattered Wisdom, Jack and Jerett welcome their wives back to the studio for another hilarious game night episode. What starts as a simple game quickly turns into laughter, trash talk, unexpected answers, and plenty of moments that prove these couples know each other well... and sometimes not as well as they thought.

The guys and their wives go head-to-head answering questions, telling stories, calling each other out, and creating the kind of chaos that has made the wives episodes some of the most popular episodes of the podcast.

From marriage and family life to embarrassing moments and inside jokes, no topic is safe. The competition gets heated, the laughs keep coming, and listeners get another behind-the-scenes look at the personalities and relationships that make Shattered Wisdom what it is.

If you enjoy real couples, real friendships, and real conversations mixed with plenty of humor, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

🎙️ Real conversations. Real relationships. No script.

💍 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?

While he focused on healing, the family continued trying to understand what was happening back home.Looking back, this was the moment they realized their story was no longer just about mental health.It had become something much bigger.🎙️ The Story We Never Told — A Shattered Wisdom Series.Don't Forget To Like & Subscribe For A Chance To Win FREE Merch!Want to hear more?

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? 😂
