The [[Cooking with Jack (Youtube series)|''Cooking with Jack Show'']] and its affiliate series ''[[Jack on the Go]]'' feature a revolving door of guest characters. These guests are often unsuspecting churchgoers or acquaintances whom Jack has coaxed into joining his kitchen escapades, likely under the impression that they’re appearing on a channel with the clout of a culinary giant like [https://www.youtube.com/@babishculinaryuniverse Babish]. In reality, most viewers tune in out of morbid curiosity or sheer schadenfreude, as Jack’s popularity peaked in the early 2000s.

Many guests seem uncomfortable with their role as props in Jack's internet cooking spectacle and vanish after a single episode. Some attempt to endure and become recurring characters but eventually grow weary of Jack’s antics and what critics describe as his “surface-level friendships.” More often than not, they quietly disappear after one or two videos, never to be mentioned again, as if erased from the show's narrative altogether.

'''Charles Caputo''' is a fisherman who once collaborated with Jack on the [[Fish Hook]] channel focusing on fishing. He believes Jack to be a wuss.<ref>[https://youtu.be/Z0qHrV1ZDMg?t=10 Our Lake Michigan Fishing Trip (2days)(bonus video) - Youtube]</ref> It is believed that Jack and Charles had a fallout, allegedly when Charles had the audacity to enable comments on his own channel - something Jack viewed as a mortal betrayal of his self-proclaimed YouTube wisdom.

Charles had initially sought Jack's advice on starting his channel, likely lured by Jack’s inflated subscriber numbers and self-aggrandizing claims of expertise. Jack, who peaked during the early days of YouTube and has since plummeted into irrelevance, quickly assumed control of Charles' channel like some delusional media mogul. Instead of letting Charles run a fishing show that focused on actual fishing tips and techniques, Jack dragged the content in his favourite direction: food reviews. Any time Jack appeared, fishing was sidelined for trips to fish-themed fast-food chains—because, for Jack, nothing screams “expert fisherman” like reviewing fish tacos.

Jack’s paranoia about online "trolls and haters" runs deep. He has long disabled comments, likes, and dislikes on ''Cooking with Jack'' to shield himself from criticism, which he stubbornly interprets as baseless harassment rather than feedback. Naturally, he expected Charles to follow suit and run ''Fish Hook'' with the same dictator-like approach.

But Charles dared to defy Jack. After listening to his fans during his livestreams, Charles enabled comments in his subsequent videos and audience engagement flourished. Jack, ever the egotist, likely took this as a personal slight - a rejection of his "master plan". Unable to tolerate someone diverging from his playbook, Jack appeared to distance himself, effectively ghosting Charles and ending their collaboration. In the end, it seems Charles realized that the only thing Jack could reliably catch was a fast-food combo meal, and no friendship is worth destroying your channel's integrity over.

'''Joe Chavez''' is an ex-friend of Jack who toured in the Burger Wars.

Chavez has since distanced himself from Jack, and has publicly posted about his distaste for him online, occassionally appearing in the chat of [[Pink Chicken & The Lazy Man]] livestreams. Jack remained oblivious to this however, and attempted to a desperate extent to reunite with Chavez for the 2023 California tour, spamming his social media with requests to "split a burger for old time's sake". The requests were ignored and Chavez has blocked Jack since.

According to Jack, Robert eventually relocated to Florida and has not kept in touch since their last interaction.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/live/i2UK4SAtmg8?feature=share&t=2671</ref>

Jack has also alluded to Robert streaming video games on Twitch in his spare time, though this claim remains unverified.

Despite the determined efforts of detractors, no traces of Robert's online presence, nor his last name, have ever been uncovered. This has led to a popular theory that Robert may have mastered operational security (OPSEC) to an impressive degree, particularly given the scrutiny that comes with being associated with Jack. Some believe Robert’s digital invisibility reflects a conscious effort to distance himself from Jack’s controversial online persona.

Jack Scalfani II

'''Jack Scalfani II''' (11 February 2000), better known as '''Jack Jr.''' or simply '''Junior''', is the second son of [[Jack Scalfani|Jack]] and the only son of [[Tammy Scalfani|Tammy]].

==Personal life==
Since June 2023, Junior lives at "his own house" of [[103 Thomas Court]] alongside Brianna and their two dogs, [[Scalfani family dogs#Zoey|Zoey]] and [[Scalfani family dogs#Jenny|Jenny]].

===Work===
Junior has held several jobs. He has handed out a position at a HVAC company by his grandfather, however he quickly quit it. He then worked as a Chipotle manager, then later as a convenience store manager. From 2022 to 2024, he worked as a forklift operator at a non-profit named Soles4Souls. As of January 2025, he worked as a snow remover. In March 2025, Junior posted several Instagram stories of him digging holes at work.

===Child===
On 16 February 2025, Junior announced on Instagram that Brianna was pregnant with their first child, having previously struggled with infertility.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/DGJczYmpgKDUcMXK2w0kGrvrophbqEs7Eksi_o0</ref> According to the post, the pregnancy was approaching its second trimester, meaning that the deed was likely done around October or November. On 1 March, Junior and Brianna held a gender reveal party, stating that the baby was male.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/DGrZiK2srdP9IQNpOdJO_b2Hn6s-fFrZZFNc3g0</ref>

==Online career==
Like his father, Junior has attempted to become an e-celebrity for several years. However, he is much more thin-skinned and unmotivated, mostly quitting on gigs shortly upon their creation.

===Kids Can Cook, Too!===
When Junior was a little kid, he had his own series on his dad's channel called 'Kids Can Cook, Too!'. Junior's recipes included things like manicotti<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhPuyAKBh9s</ref>, potstickers<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMaEs7gwiQE</ref> and banana pudding<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtZA3Hs7upA</ref>. In the videos, it was clear that Junior was a much better cook than his dad.

===Nerdy Athletes===
In December 2022, Junior and his two friends Derek and Shawn announced a collab YouTube channel titled Nerdy Athletes. The first video was uploaded on 27 December. The channel consisted of ''Call of Duty'' discussion, NFL predictions and other IRL bullshit.

Derek appeared to have left the project almost immediately. The channel's last upload, an incomplete playthrough of ''Star Wars Jedi: Survivor'' by Junior, was made on 4 June 2023,<ref>https://youtu.be/b2erT39UiUc</ref> and the channel fizzled out afterwards.

===Gucci Goombah===
In early 2024, Junior took on a streamer persona called Gucci Goombah, grotesque Goomba avatar included. He first streamed on Twitch on 5 February, 6PM CT. Following a rage-quit on March 23, the channel has not seen activity since. [https://www.youtube.com/@ThomasCourt103/videos All of the channel's streams have been since archived.]

[[File:Stroke speech example.png|thumb|Strokes have impeded Jack's ability to pronounce words like a coherent person.]]
Jack has developed a rather colorful vocabulary throughout the years, whether caused by stroke-induced cognitive decline or relying on a speech-to-text transcriber, dubbed '''Jackisms''' by the detractor community. Jackisms are misspellings, mispronunciations, and even phrases that Jack tends to repeat ''ad-nauseam'', all of which are unique to Jack.

The following is an ever-expanding dictionary of Jackisms that are seen and heard on his Youtube shows and social media posts.
