<div>== Terms of Service ==<br />
<br />
By requesting an account or contributing to '''The Cooking with Jack Wiki''' (CWJki), you agree to the following terms. These terms work alongside the [[CWJKI:General disclaimer|General Disclaimer]] and [[CWJKI:Privacy policy|Privacy Policy]].<br />
<br />
=== 1. About this wiki ===<br />
<br />
The CWJki is a satirical commentary and parody resource documenting the public activities of YouTube personality Jack Scalfani and figures who appear in his media. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of Jack Scalfani or his family.<br />
<br />
=== 2. Account requests ===<br />
<br />
Account creation is moderated. By submitting a request, you confirm that:<br />
<br />
* You are at least 16 years of age.<br />
* The email address you provide is one you control and check.<br />
* You are not creating an account on behalf of another person, or operating a previously-banned account under a new identity.<br />
* You understand that your contributions will be public, attributed to your username, and retained in the page history indefinitely.<br />
<br />
The wiki's bureaucrats reserve the right to approve or reject account requests at their discretion, including without explanation.<br />
<br />
=== 3. Editing standards ===<br />
<br />
Contributors agree to follow the [[CWJKI:Guide|Editing Guide]]. In summary:<br />
<br />
* '''Sources required.''' Claims about real people must be supported by an identified, archived public source. If you cannot link an archived source, do not add the claim.<br />
* '''Public material only.''' Use only material that the subject has personally placed in the public sphere — public videos, public social media posts, broadcast appearances, and similar. Do not add private communications, leaked materials, or personal information that the subject has not made public themselves.<br />
* '''Satire, not stalking.''' The wiki documents and satirises a public figure's public behaviour. It is not a vehicle for harassment, threats, or coordination of contact with the subject or related individuals.<br />
* '''No doxing of third parties.''' Critics, observers, and other members of the wider community covered here are entitled to whatever level of pseudonymity they have chosen to maintain. Do not unmask people who have not unmasked themselves.<br />
<br />
=== 4. Prohibited content ===<br />
<br />
The following will be removed and may result in account revocation:<br />
<br />
* Content advocating violence, harassment, or real-world harm against any person.<br />
* Sexually explicit content involving real, identifiable people.<br />
* Content involving minors in any sexualised context, regardless of source.<br />
* Fine-grained personal contact information ( phone numbers, private email addresses ) of any non-public figure.<br />
* Spam, vandalism, off-topic content, and content unrelated to the wiki's subject matter.<br />
* Material that the contributor does not have the right to publish (copyrighted material outside fair use, etc.).<br />
<br />
=== 5. Pseudonymity ===<br />
<br />
The wiki does not require contributors to use their real names and does not display real names anywhere in the user interface. You may participate under a pseudonym. We ask only that you use a single, consistent pseudonym and do not impersonate other contributors or the wiki's subjects.<br />
<br />
=== 6. Licensing of contributions ===<br />
<br />
By contributing, you agree that your contributions may be retained, modified, and redistributed by the wiki and its contributors. You retain ownership of your original work but grant the CWJki an irrevocable licence to host, display, and modify your contributions as part of the wiki.<br />
<br />
You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to submit any material you upload. Do not upload images, video clips, or text you do not have the right to share.<br />
<br />
=== 7. Takedowns and corrections ===<br />
<br />
If you are a subject of an article and believe specific content is inaccurate, unsourced, or violates these terms, you may contact the wiki administrators at [mailto:givemewikiwiki@gmail.com givemewikiwiki@gmail.com]. Good-faith requests will be reviewed. Sourced satirical commentary on public figures will generally not be removed, but factual errors and genuine policy violations will be corrected or taken down.<br />
<br />
=== 8. Account termination ===<br />
<br />
The wiki's administrators may suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these terms, the editing guide, or for any other reason at their discretion. Banned users may not return under new identities.<br />
<br />
=== 9. No warranty ===<br />
<br />
The wiki is provided "as is" with no guarantees of accuracy, availability, or fitness for any particular purpose. The wiki and its contributors assume no responsibility for how readers interpret or act upon its content. Reading this wiki implies acceptance of its satirical nature.<br />
<br />
=== 10. Changes to these terms ===<br />
<br />
These terms may be updated. Material changes will be noted on the wiki's main page or recent changes log. Continued participation after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.<br />
<br />
=== 11. Contact ===<br />
<br />

<div>A non-exhaustive glossary of terms commonplace amongst Scalfani observers. You might find these terms be used around CWJki articles.<br />
<br />
The following is sorted in two categories; terms generally used around all lolcow circles, and Scalfani-specific terms. Not to be confused with Jack's own linguistic marvels, [[Jackisms]], though some overlap does exist.<br />
<!-- Shortening the table of contents because it'd just have too much shit --> {{TOC limit|2}}<br />
<br />
==General lolcow terms==<br />
====A-Log====<br />

[[File:CU Piggy Apron.jpg|thumb|200px|right|CU Piggy in the flesh.]]<br />
<br />
====Combining with Jack====<br />
: A mock nickname for ''Cooking with Jack'', referring to recent episodes being little more than Jack slapping ingredients together.<br />

: An alternative nickname for ''[[F as in Frank]]''.<br />
<br />
====Foodjacks====<br />
: Jack's self-imposed name for his fans. In the Jack observer community, it has been used to describe both genuine fans and hatewatchers (The wiki generally tries to stick to the former).<br />

<div>A non-exhaustive collection of notable critics of [[Jack]], sorted alphabetically.<br />
<br />
This page is split into three categories - critic groups; "dedicated" individual critics that have made Jack a larger focus of their content; and "casual" critics who have criticized Jack before, but are not overly attached to him.<br />
<br />
==Groups==<br />
===4chan's /ck/===<br />
[[File:4chan icon.png|frameless|150px]]<br />
<br />
The '''[https://boards.4channel.org/ck/catalog /ck/ - "Food & Cooking"]''' board of 4chan was the earliest home of Jack trolls, with him becoming a subject of posts as early as September 2013.<ref>https://warosu.org/ck/thread/4824162#p4824726</ref> In October 2015, the board mobilized in trolling Jack over his appearance on the [[Sunday Evening Coffee|''Sunday Evening Coffee'' podcast]], where he admitted to [[Garrett|choking his son]] and advocated for the genocide of Palestinians.<ref>https://warosu.org/ck/thread/6982054#p6983074</ref><br />
<br />
In recent years, the board's asshurt moderation team (Apheliot, archaeowicker, bigyah00, newton, Smart, tetherballeyebleach108, w370)<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/4chan.37222/post-21114491</ref> has engaged in strict censorship of Jack threads, largely fading him out of the board's culture.<ref>https://warosu.org/ck/thread/16476712#p16476841</ref><ref>https://warosu.org/ck/thread/20648933#p20652639</ref> Some stealth Jackposting has persisted in the form of replies to threads, rather than Jack being in the thread OP.<br />

Originally a fanclub for ''Pink Chicken & The Lazy Man'' specifically, it has since morphed into a general Jack detractor server. The server's channel topics include Jack, other Scalfaniverse figures, churches Jack has attended, other lolcows, and off-topic discussion. On 26 January 2025, Rod Dangerous left the server and gave Pink Chicken its ownership.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1210359506878595162/1332990661007380552</ref> As of May 2026, the server has 150+ members.<br />
<br />
On 26 September 2025, [[Guests#James Smith|Jimmy]] joined the server in an attempt to have his workplace removed from the CWJki; however he was unable to navigate the channels and was eventually kicked by staff.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957778018212917371/1421285000707309699</ref><ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1496647413446742219</ref><br />

[[File:Ashley Hayes.jpeg|frameless|150px]]<br />
<br />
'''''[https://downwithjackscalfani.wordpress.com Down with Jack Scalfani]''''' is a discontinued WordPress blog "dedicated to exposing the ugly underbelly of self-proclaimed foodie and nicest guy on YouTube, Jack Scalfani" authored by Illinois blogger Ashley Hayes under the pen name Ashleigh Haze.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/1227325242192564304</ref> The blog mostly reviewed individual Jack videos, and received posts from February to May 2016.<br />
<br />
It is ultimately not known why Hayes abandoned the blog, however it did provide some useful information, such as [[Tammy]]'s college degree being potentially fake. Hayes was also possibly behind a troll Twitter account impersonating [[Cornerstone Church]] pastor Maury Davis at @MurryDavis.<ref>https://x.com/MurryDavis</ref><br />
<br />
===Jack Vlogs===<br />
[[File:Jack Vlogs icon.jpg|frameless|150px]]<br />
<br />
'''[https://www.youtube.com/@BobbyBugadi Jack Vlogs]''' is an anonymous YouTube channel that would edit Jack's videos into comedic parodies. Despite slowly gaining popularity and enduring multiple of Jack's copyright strikes, the channel was suspended from YouTube on 24 August 2024, over violations of the site's "sex and nudity policy" after an attempted upload of a video covering the [[2019 Facebook hack]].<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957778018212917371/1278091531445866496</ref><ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957778018212917371/1278417079900438578</ref> The channel has since returned on both YouTube and [https://rumble.com/user/JackVlogs80085 Rumble], however uploads have slowed down.<br />

<br />
The following is sorted in two categories; terms generally used around all lolcow circles, and Scalfani-specific terms. Not to be confused with Jack's own linguistic marvels, [[Jackisms]], though some overlap does exist.<br />
<!-- Shortening the table of contents because it'd just have too much shit --> {{TOC limit|2}}<br />

The Scalfani family has seen its share of pet '''dogs''' over the years, but any canine unlucky enough to land in their hands is not exactly in for a life of tail-wagging bliss.<br />
<br />
With a revolving door of pets treated more like temporary accessories than lifelong companions, the Scalfanis' track record with their four-legged "family members" raises both eyebrows and plenty of questions.

==Chief and Luna==<br />
'''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of Labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in their small apartment, with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref><br />
<br />
Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers. On 11 May, they listed the dogs on Craigslist for $1000 - a move that violated both the site's terms of service and basic common decency.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11873838</ref><ref>https://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited</ref> Unsurprisingly, the listing was quickly taken down.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11875399</ref> Undeterred by their failed attempt at profiting off living beings, the dynamic duo tried again on 28 May, this time slashing the "price" to $800.

==HOPE==<br />
{{Quote|Jack only wanted HOPE for those first few puppy months to gain the narc hit. Now she's just a liability that isn't housebroken, never gets walks, and is now shackled with a shock collar because Jagoff nor the fat bitch Hammy bothered to train her.

<br />
After around seven years without a new dog, Jack brought in the "web-footed Beagle" '''Hope''' (or '''HOPE''' in all caps) in March 2022.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11368963</ref> Jack used Hope as a mascot for ''[[Cooking with Jack]]'' for some time, integrating her into the show's intro and overall branding, before inevitably becoming bored of it and setting her aside as a background piece. Jack has quite the documented love-hate relationship with Hope.<br />
<br />
==="Pure bread"===<br />
Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through." However, from the moment the first photos surfaced, Jack observers were doubtful. Hope's lanky frame, mismatched markings, and overall appearance did not align with the typical beagle look. Instead, many pointed out that she resembled a mutt rather than the floppy-eared hound Jack insisted she was.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pure bread disproven.png|thumb|150px|Turns out Hope isn't "pure bread".]]<br />
People continued asking if Hope was a mixed breed instead, and on 5 May, Jack posted a now-infamous comment admitting: "She wasn't ''pure bread''. They lied to us." Jack claimed that the vet had informed him that Hope was a beagle-collie mix, and expressed frustration that the breeder had duped him. He added: "Next time I'll want papers" as though the lack of pedigree documentation was a minor oversight rather than a glaring red flag.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11826313</ref> For many, this admission confirmed what had long been suspected: Hope likely came from a backyard breeder rather than a professional kennel. Reputable breeders always provide pedigree papers to verify lineage, especially for popular breeds like beagles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jack FB Post - HOPE.png|thumb|250px|Jack being confidently wrong as usual.]]<br />
Despite this incident, Jack's stubborn refusal to admit he could be wrong only intensified. In an attempt to silence critics, Jack shared a baffling story involving his air-conditioning technician, who allegedly identified Hope as a "web-footed Beagle" and a "water dog". According to Jack, the technician confidently explained that Hope's webbed paws were proof of her aquatic heritage.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12179348</ref> However, canine experts and casual dog owners alike were quick to point out that slight webbing is common in beagles - and many other dog breeds - and is not indicative of some mythical sub-breed of water-loving "beagles".<br />
<br />
===Neglect and the "Eternal Harness"===<br />
Jack's initial excitement over Hope seemed to wane once the novelty of puppyhood wore off. This was underscored during a ''Cooking with Jack'' livestream on 10 September 2023, where Jack admitted to using a shock collar for "training." At the 22:13 mark, Jack described how he and Tammy used the device:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We have a shock collar that we use for training on Hope... We use the first two buttons—the first one is a beep, the second is a vibration. That's as far as we go... unless she's doing something dangerous, like climbing up on the stove. Then we apply the shock.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/EFOosYRtlNk?si=TTMpcllDdMGvvgjK&t=1333 DAY OF EXPLANATIONS BY JACK - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
Jack attempted to justify the shock by comparing it to the mild static shock from touching a rug. He claimed they kept it at a "nice low level", and only used the actual shock function sparingly. Despite his defensive explanation, the admission was met with harsh criticism. Many viewers were horrified that Jack would consider such methods necessary due to his and Tammy's own failure to properly train their dog.<br />
<br />
In an earlier video uploaded on 20 April 2022 titled "3 Ingredient KETO Bread", Jack nonchalantly detailed another "training" technique:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I get down on the floor, and we're playing, and she bites me. And I'm like, no biting- stop it- and I tap her on the mouth... She bites me again, even faster, and I'm like bam, so I tap her a little bit harder.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wXmOQabEoQA?si=TCdMR3yv3pbb33aX&t=35 3 Ingredient KETO Bread - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
He framed the situation as a battle for dominance, saying: "Bottom line is, she's gonna lose." Viewers speculated that Jack's "tapping" was actually slapping the dog, further fueling concerns about his approach to pet ownership.<br />
<br />
===Hope as a prop===<br />
Jack's use of Hope as a prop in his content solidified this perception. In his ''Cooking with Jack Show'' intros, Hope was prominently featured in thumbnails, and barking sound effect - completely irrelevant to cooking - were added. Critics accused Jack of using Hope to add a performative "family charm" to his struggling YouTube channel rather than genuinely caring for her.<br />
<br />
The depth of Jack's neglect was laid bare on an 13 April 2022 cooking video, where he candidly admitted that Hope was not house-trained. Laughing awkwardly, Jack described how Hope "loves crapping in the kitchen" and frequently defecated in front of the refrigerator.<ref>[https://youtu.be/INr1DLKRQ3g?si=AfdxoNKpRUNiXMM1&t=67 Egg Roll in a Bowl - Youtube]</ref> The comment was met with widespread disgust, especially given that Jack films his "cooking show" in the same space.<br />

==Zoey==<br />
'''Zoey''', also known as '''ZOE''', is Junior and Brianna's pitbull which was adopted in September 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzgJEwAPxso</ref> According to Jack, Zoey was a rescue dog who was "being trained to do things she shouldn't do", like "competition crap and illegal stuff".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzyrkhFX-Rw</ref><br />
<br />
During a 15 May 2024 livestream, [[Tammy]] was heard in the background ''roaring'' that she was going to "KILL FRICKING ZOEY IN A MINUTE". She later explained that she was trying to treat Zoey for fleas.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-821DhjsBDE</ref> This event regardless showed that Tammy was not particularly fond of the dog. <br />

==Hashley and Dolce==<br />
'''Hashley''' is a "chocolate tri merle micro Thai X American bully" adopted by Garrett on 27 April 2024.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1234549943998611476</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/takeabull_kennel/reel/C6QM6NkhARl</ref> On 8 May, he also bought '''Dolce''', a "chocolate tri nano" as a sister.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1237858433307246735</ref> Garrett has taken great pride in raising these two mutant spawns, taking them to competition shows and even making a separate Instagram account to show them off, although the latter was hardly ever used before its deletion in April 2026.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1498090050624426034</ref><br />
<br />
These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit bull-type dogs is often used by some breeders to "fix" profitable traits: oversized heads, crushed muzzles, heavy muscle, squat bodies, bowed limbs, rare coat colours, and "tight" pedigrees - that buyers are meant to read as quality, rather than a family tree shaped like a paperclip.<ref>https://www.sparkpaws.com/blogs/community/inbred-pitbulls-here-s-what-you-should-know</ref> In Exotic Bully and Micro Bully lines, this has encouraged increasingly extreme body shapes, because close-kin breeding makes the desired look more predictable, while also giving harmful recessive genes the red-carpet treatment. The worst examples are often described online as "molten" or "melted": dogs with sagging folds, twisted limbs, barely-there muzzles, huge skulls, breathing trouble, eye disease, skin problems, joint pain, and the general structural integrity of a dropped pudding. The "molten" look is therefore not a genuine breed feature, so much as the end product of inbreeding and extreme body-shape selection being allowed to run the kennel like a cursed Etsy shop.<ref>https://rockykanaka.com/bred-to-extremes-examining-the-ethical-quandary-of-exotic-bullies</ref><br />

[[File:Pure bread disproven.png|thumb|150px|Turns out Hope isn't "pure bread".]]<br />
People continued asking if Hope was a mixed breed instead, and on 5 May, Jack posted a now-infamous comment admitting: "She wasn't ''pure bread''. They lied to us." Jack claimed that the vet had informed him that Hope was a beagle-collie mix, and expressed frustration that the breeder had duped him. He added: "Next time I'll want papers" as though the lack of pedigree documentation was a minor oversight rather than a glaring red flag.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11826313</ref> For many, this admission confirmed what had long been suspected: Hope likely came from a backyard breeder rather than a professional kennel. Reputable breeders always provide pedigree papers to verify lineage, especially for popular breeds like beagles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jack FB Post - HOPE.png|thumb|250px|Jack being confidently wrong as usual.]]<br />
Despite this incident, Jack's stubborn refusal to admit he could be wrong only intensified. In an attempt to silence critics, Jack shared a baffling story involving his air-conditioning technician, who allegedly identified Hope as a "web-footed Beagle" and a "water dog". According to Jack, the technician confidently explained that Hope's webbed paws were proof of her aquatic heritage.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12179348</ref> However, canine experts and casual dog owners alike were quick to point out that slight webbing is common in beagles - and many other dog breeds - and is not indicative of some mythical sub-breed of water-loving "beagles".<br />
<br />
===Neglect and the "Eternal Harness"===<br />
Jack's initial excitement over Hope seemed to wane once the novelty of puppyhood wore off. This was underscored during a ''Cooking with Jack'' livestream on 10 September 2023, where Jack admitted to using a shock collar for "training." At the 22:13 mark, Jack described how he and Tammy used the device:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We have a shock collar that we use for training on Hope... We use the first two buttons—the first one is a beep, the second is a vibration. That's as far as we go... unless she's doing something dangerous, like climbing up on the stove. Then we apply the shock.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/EFOosYRtlNk?si=TTMpcllDdMGvvgjK&t=1333 DAY OF EXPLANATIONS BY JACK - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
Jack attempted to justify the shock by comparing it to the mild static shock from touching a rug. He claimed they kept it at a "nice low level", and only used the actual shock function sparingly. Despite his defensive explanation, the admission was met with harsh criticism. Many viewers were horrified that Jack would consider such methods necessary due to his and Tammy's own failure to properly train their dog.<br />
<br />
In an earlier video uploaded on 20 April 2022 titled "3 Ingredient KETO Bread", Jack nonchalantly detailed another "training" technique:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I get down on the floor, and we're playing, and she bites me. And I'm like, no biting- stop it- and I tap her on the mouth... She bites me again, even faster, and I'm like bam, so I tap her a little bit harder.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wXmOQabEoQA?si=TCdMR3yv3pbb33aX&t=35 3 Ingredient KETO Bread - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
He framed the situation as a battle for dominance, saying: "Bottom line is, she's gonna lose." Viewers speculated that Jack's "tapping" was actually slapping the dog, further fueling concerns about his approach to pet ownership.<br />
<br />
===Hope as a prop===<br />
Jack's use of Hope as a prop in his content solidified this perception. In his ''Cooking with Jack Show'' intros, Hope was prominently featured in thumbnails, and barking sound effect - completely irrelevant to cooking - were added. Critics accused Jack of using Hope to add a performative "family charm" to his struggling YouTube channel rather than genuinely caring for her.<br />
<br />
The depth of Jack's neglect was laid bare on an 13 April 2022 cooking video, where he candidly admitted that Hope was not house-trained. Laughing awkwardly, Jack described how Hope "loves crapping in the kitchen" and frequently defecated in front of the refrigerator.<ref>[https://youtu.be/INr1DLKRQ3g?si=AfdxoNKpRUNiXMM1&t=67 Egg Roll in a Bowl - Youtube]</ref> The comment was met with widespread disgust, especially given that Jack films his "cooking show" in the same space.<br />

==Zoey==<br />
'''Zoey''', also known as '''ZOE''', is Junior and Brianna's pitbull which was adopted in September 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzgJEwAPxso</ref> According to Jack, Zoey was a rescue dog who was "being trained to do things she shouldn't do", like "competition crap and illegal stuff".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzyrkhFX-Rw</ref><br />
<br />
During a 15 May 2024 livestream, [[Tammy]] was heard in the background ''roaring'' that she was going to "KILL FRICKING ZOEY IN A MINUTE". She later explained that she was trying to treat Zoey for fleas.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-821DhjsBDE</ref> This event regardless showed that Tammy was not particularly fond of the dog. <br />

<br />
These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit bull-type dogs is often used by some breeders to "fix" profitable traits: oversized heads, crushed muzzles, heavy muscle, squat bodies, bowed limbs, rare coat colours, and "tight" pedigrees - that buyers are meant to read as quality, rather than a family tree shaped like a paperclip.<ref>https://www.sparkpaws.com/blogs/community/inbred-pitbulls-here-s-what-you-should-know</ref> In Exotic Bully and Micro Bully lines, this has encouraged increasingly extreme body shapes, because close-kin breeding makes the desired look more predictable, while also giving harmful recessive genes the red-carpet treatment. The worst examples are often described online as "molten" or "melted": dogs with sagging folds, twisted limbs, barely-there muzzles, huge skulls, breathing trouble, eye disease, skin problems, joint pain, and the general structural integrity of a dropped pudding. The "molten" look is therefore not a genuine breed feature, so much as the end product of inbreeding and extreme body-shape selection being allowed to run the kennel like a cursed Etsy shop.<ref>https://rockykanaka.com/bred-to-extremes-examining-the-ethical-quandary-of-exotic-bullies</ref><br />

<div>{{Agenda|There's definitely more info out there on Rolex, Zoey and Hashley/Dolce.}}<br />
The Scalfani family has seen its share of pet '''dogs''' over the years, but any canine unlucky enough to land in their hands is not exactly in for a life of tail-wagging bliss.<br />
<br />
With a revolving door of pets treated more like temporary accessories than lifelong companions, the Scalfanis' track record with their four-legged "family members" raises eyebrows, and plenty of questions. Jack has also stated he refuses to get his dogs treated if the operation would cost more than the price he paid for their adoption.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wC5OhERg_M</ref> It's a good thing Jack hates cats at least...<ref>https://allthatbugs.blogspot.com/2008/09/funniest-6-seconds-ever.html</ref><br />

==Cupcake==<br />
'''Cupcake''' was a full-blooded Beagle and Jack's first known dog from the California years.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957778018212917371/1141829175917940797</ref> She was referenced in videos as early as November 2008<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URrHY3AobRg</ref> and lived well into the move to [[157 Trail Ridge Drive]]. Transporting the dog between homes was complicated, with Jack stating he spent $150 to have her sent with a kennel on, taking two flights due to temperature considerations.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37F358lIXXU</ref> According to [[Guests#Joe Chavez|Joe Chavez]], Cupcake got really fat late in its life.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/978827853359640616</ref> Jack first stated Cupcake was dead in November 2017, however she likely died earlier, with her last mention in a video being from August 2015.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLnRGOFzeWA</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp3Jioh5dDo</ref><br />
<br />
Unlike certain later dogs, Cupcake did not appear much in videos at all; in fact Jack actively tried keeping her off-camera, shooing her whenever she tried entering the kitchen,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR3IMvXQJY0</ref> and being annoyed at viewers asking him to show her.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dfR0A_BXjw</ref><br />

==Rolex==<br />
'''Rolex the Watch Dog''' was a Miniature Pinscher owned by [[Garrett]] sometime in the 2010s. Rolex was cremated upon death, and in true Garrett fashion, its ashes were placed in a special-made bong. On 4 February 2025, Garrett's other dogs Hashley and Dolce smashed up the bong in an accident.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1336469779732500583</ref><br />

==Chief and Luna==<br />
'''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of Labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in their small apartment, with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref><br />
<br />
Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers. On 11 May, they listed the dogs on Craigslist for $1000 - a move that violated both the site's terms of service and basic common decency.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11873838</ref><ref>https://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited</ref> Unsurprisingly, the listing was quickly taken down.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11875399</ref> Undeterred by their failed attempt at profiting off living beings, the dynamic duo tried again on 28 May, this time slashing the "price" to $800. Craigslist's moderators, however, were quick to shut it down once more.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12018672</ref> The dogs eventually left the Scalfanis' hands by another undisclosed method. One can only hope the dogs ended up in a far better situation - possibly with owners who saw them as pets rather than assets.<br />

==HOPE==<br />
{{Quote|Jack only wanted HOPE for those first few puppy months to gain the narc hit. Now she's just a liability that isn't housebroken, never gets walks, and is now shackled with a shock collar because Jagoff nor the fat bitch Hammy bothered to train her. No enrichment, no walks - confined at [[103 Thomas Court]].<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/1144296180470267934</ref>}}<br />
<br />
After around seven years without a new dog, Jack brought in the "web-footed Beagle" '''Hope''' (or '''HOPE''' in all caps) in March 2022.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11368963</ref> Jack used Hope as a mascot for ''[[Cooking with Jack]]'' for some time, integrating her into the show's intro and overall branding, before inevitably becoming bored of it and setting her aside as a background piece. Jack has quite the documented love-hate relationship with Hope.<br />
<br />
==="Pure bread"===<br />
Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through." However, from the moment the first photos surfaced, Jack observers were doubtful. Hope's lanky frame, mismatched markings, and overall appearance did not align with the typical beagle look. Instead, many pointed out that she resembled a mutt rather than the floppy-eared hound Jack insisted she was.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pure bread disproven.png|thumb|150px|Turns out Hope isn't "pure bread".]]<br />

<div>{{Agenda|There's definitely more info out there on Rolex, Zoey and Hashley/Dolce.}}<br />
The Scalfani family has seen its share of pet '''dogs''' over the years, but any canine unlucky enough to land in their hands is not exactly in for a life of tail-wagging bliss.<br />
<br />
With a revolving door of pets treated more like temporary accessories than lifelong companions, the Scalfanis' track record with their four-legged "family members" raises eyebrows, and plenty of questions. Jack has also stated that he refuses to get his dogs treated if the operation costed more than the price he paid for their adoption.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wC5OhERg_M</ref> It's a good thing Jack hates cats at least...<ref>https://allthatbugs.blogspot.com/2008/09/funniest-6-seconds-ever.html</ref><br />
<br />
==Cupcake==<br />
'''Cupcake''' was a full-blooded Beagle and Jack's first known dog from the California years.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957778018212917371/1141829175917940797</ref> She was referenced in videos as early as November 2008<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URrHY3AobRg</ref> and lived well into the move to [[157 Trail Ridge Drive]]. Transporting the dog between homes was complicated, with Jack stating he spent $150 to have her sent with a kennel on, taking two flights due to temperature considerations.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37F358lIXXU</ref> According to [[Guests#Joe Chavez|Joe Chavez]], Cupcake got really fat late in its life.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/978827853359640616</ref> Jack first stated Cupcake was dead in November 2017, however she likely died earlier, with her last mention in a video being from August 2015.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLnRGOFzeWA</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp3Jioh5dDo</ref><br />
<br />
Unlike certain later dogs, Cupcake did not appear much in videos at all; in fact Jack actively tried keeping her off-camera, shooing her whenever she tried entering the kitchen,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR3IMvXQJY0</ref> and being annoyed at viewers asking him to show her.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dfR0A_BXjw</ref><br />

==Rolex==<br />
'''Rolex''' was a Miniature Pinscher owned by [[Garrett]] sometime in the 2010s. It was cremated upon death, and in true Garrett fashion, its ashes were placed in a special-made bong. On 4 February 2025, Garrett's other dogs Hashley and Dolce smashed up the bong in an incident.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1336469779732500583</ref><br />

==Chief and Luna==<br />
'''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of Labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in their small apartment, with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref><br />
<br />
Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers. On 11 May, they listed the dogs on Craigslist for $1000 - a move that violated both the site's terms of service and basic common decency.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11873838</ref><ref>https://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited</ref> Unsurprisingly, the listing was quickly taken down.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11875399</ref> Undeterred by their failed attempt at profiting off living beings, the dynamic duo tried again on 28 May, this time slashing the "price" to $800. Craigslist's moderators, however, were quick to shut it down once more.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12018672</ref> The dogs eventually left the Scalfanis' hands by another undisclosed method. One can only hope the dogs ended up in a far better situation - possibly with owners who saw them as pets rather than assets.<br />

==HOPE==<br />
{{Quote|Jack only wanted HOPE for those first few puppy months to gain the narc hit. Now she's just a liability that isn't housebroken, never gets walks, and is now shackled with a shock collar because Jagoff nor the fat bitch Hammy bothered to train her. No enrichment, no walks - confined at [[103 Thomas Court]].<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/1144296180470267934</ref>}}<br />
<br />
After around seven years without a new dog, Jack brought in the "web-footed Beagle" '''Hope''' (or '''HOPE''' in all caps) in March 2022.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11368963</ref> Jack used Hope as a mascot for ''[[Cooking with Jack]]'' for some time, integrating her into the show's intro and overall branding, before inevitably becoming bored of it and setting her aside as a background piece. Jack has quite the documented love-hate relationship with Hope.<br />
<br />
==="Pure bread"===<br />
Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through." However, from the moment the first photos surfaced, Jack observers were doubtful. Hope's lanky frame, mismatched markings, and overall appearance did not align with the typical beagle look. Instead, many pointed out that she resembled a mutt rather than the floppy-eared hound Jack insisted she was.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pure bread disproven.png|thumb|150px|Turns out Hope isn't "pure bread".]]<br />
People continued asking if Hope was a mixed breed instead, and on 5 May, Jack finally a now-infamous comment admitting: "She wasn't ''pure bread''. They lied to us." Jack claimed that the vet had informed him that Hope was a beagle-collie mix, and expressed frustration that the breeder had duped him. He added: "Next time I'll want papers" as though the lack of pedigree documentation was a minor oversight rather than a glaring red flag.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11826313</ref> For many, this admission confirmed what had long been suspected: Hope likely came from a backyard breeder rather than a professional kennel. Reputable breeders always provide pedigree papers to verify lineage, especially for popular breeds like beagles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jack FB Post - HOPE.png|thumb|250px|Jack being confidently wrong as usual.]]<br />
Despite this incident, Jack's stubborn refusal to admit he could be wrong only intensified. In an attempt to silence critics, Jack shared a baffling story involving his air-conditioning technician, who allegedly identified Hope as a "web-footed Beagle" and a "water dog". According to Jack, the technician confidently explained that Hope's webbed paws were proof of her aquatic heritage.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12179348</ref> However, canine experts and casual dog owners alike were quick to point out that slight webbing is common in beagles - and many other dog breeds - and is not indicative of some mythical sub-breed of water-loving "beagles".<br />
<br />
===Neglect and the "Eternal Harness"===<br />
Jack's initial excitement over Hope seemed to wane once the novelty of puppyhood wore off. This was underscored during a ''Cooking with Jack'' livestream on 10 September 2023, where Jack admitted to using a shock collar for "training." At the 22:13 mark, Jack described how he and Tammy used the device:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We have a shock collar that we use for training on Hope... We use the first two buttons—the first one is a beep, the second is a vibration. That's as far as we go... unless she's doing something dangerous, like climbing up on the stove. Then we apply the shock.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/EFOosYRtlNk?si=TTMpcllDdMGvvgjK&t=1333 DAY OF EXPLANATIONS BY JACK - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
Jack attempted to justify the shock by comparing it to the mild static shock from touching a rug. He claimed they kept it at a "nice low level", and only used the actual shock function sparingly. Despite his defensive explanation, the admission was met with harsh criticism. Many viewers were horrified that Jack would consider such methods necessary due to his and Tammy's own failure to properly train their dog.<br />
<br />
In an earlier video uploaded on 20 April 2022 titled "3 Ingredient KETO Bread", Jack nonchalantly detailed another "training" technique:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I get down on the floor, and we're playing, and she bites me. And I'm like, no biting- stop it- and I tap her on the mouth... She bites me again, even faster, and I'm like bam, so I tap her a little bit harder.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wXmOQabEoQA?si=TCdMR3yv3pbb33aX&t=35 3 Ingredient KETO Bread - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
He framed the situation as a battle for dominance, saying: "Bottom line is, she's gonna lose." Viewers speculated that Jack's "tapping" was actually slapping the dog, further fueling concerns about his approach to pet ownership.<br />
<br />
===Hope as a prop===<br />
Jack's use of Hope as a prop in his content solidified this perception. In his ''Cooking with Jack Show'' intros, Hope was prominently featured in thumbnails, and barking sound effect - completely irrelevant to cooking - were added. Critics accused Jack of using Hope to add a performative "family charm" to his struggling YouTube channel rather than genuinely caring for her.<br />
<br />
The depth of Jack's neglect was laid bare on an 13 April 2022 cooking video, where he candidly admitted that Hope was not house-trained. Laughing awkwardly, Jack described how Hope "loves crapping in the kitchen" and frequently defecated in front of the refrigerator.<ref>[https://youtu.be/INr1DLKRQ3g?si=AfdxoNKpRUNiXMM1&t=67 Egg Roll in a Bowl - Youtube]</ref> The comment was met with widespread disgust, especially given that Jack films his "cooking show" in the same space.<br />

==Zoey==<br />
'''Zoey''', also known as '''ZOE''', is Junior and Brianna's pitbull which was adopted in September 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzgJEwAPxso</ref> According to Jack, Zoey was a rescue dog who was "being trained to do things she shouldn't do", like "competition crap and illegal stuff".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzyrkhFX-Rw</ref><br />
<br />
During a 15 May 2024 livestream, [[Tammy]] was heard in the background ''roaring'' that she was going to "KILL FRICKING ZOEY IN A MINUTE". She later explained that she was trying to treat Zoey for fleas.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-821DhjsBDE</ref> This event regardless showed that Tammy was not particularly fond of the dog. <br />

==Hashley and Dolce==<br />
'''Hashley''' is a "chocolate tri merle micro Thai X American bully" adopted by Garrett on 27 April 2024.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1234549943998611476</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/takeabull_kennel/reel/C6QM6NkhARl</ref> On 8 May, he also bought '''Dolce''', a "chocolate tri nano" as a sister.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1237858433307246735</ref> Garrett has taken great pride in raising these two mutant spawns, taking them to competition shows and even making a separate Instagram account to show them off, although the latter was hardly ever used before its deletion in April 2026.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1498090050624426034</ref><br />
<br />
These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit bull-type dogs is often used by some breeders to "fix" profitable traits: oversized heads, crushed muzzles, heavy muscle, squat bodies, bowed limbs, rare coat colours, and "tight" pedigrees - that buyers are meant to read as quality, rather than a family tree shaped like a paperclip.<ref>https://www.sparkpaws.com/blogs/community/inbred-pitbulls-here-s-what-you-should-know</ref> In Exotic Bully and Micro Bully lines, this has encouraged increasingly extreme body shapes, because close-kin breeding makes the desired look more predictable, while also giving harmful recessive genes the red-carpet treatment. The worst examples are often described online as "molten" or "melted": dogs with sagging folds, twisted limbs, barely-there muzzles, huge skulls, breathing trouble, eye disease, skin problems, joint pain, and the general structural integrity of a dropped pudding. The "molten" look is therefore not a genuine breed feature, so much as the end product of inbreeding and extreme body-shape selection being allowed to run the kennel like a cursed Etsy shop.<ref>https://rockykanaka.com/bred-to-extremes-examining-the-ethical-quandary-of-exotic-bullies</ref><br />

==Jenny==<br />
'''Jenny''' is a doodle-type dog that Junior got to be a "friend" of Zoey. She was acquired on 2 September 2024.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1280323548275146782</ref> Not much is known about her otherwise. She has been seen in multiple ''Cooking with Jack'' videos, indicating that it is the seniors who often take care of her instead.<br />

'''Garrett Ryan Scalfani''' (born 2 March 1990)<ref>https://www.fastbackgroundcheck.com/people/garrett-scalfani/id/f7050639717968626696</ref> is [[Jack]]'s son from his first marriage. In the context of the Scalfaniverse, he is primarily known for being the son that Jack [[Sunday Evening Coffee#Jack recalls choking Garrett|choked out]] for allegedly becoming aggressive after beginning to smoke weed. Since December 2022, Garrett has lived in Thailand, peddling crypto scams and trashy weed products.<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
As a baby, Garrett had a glass thermometer lost up his rectum after he peed on Jack during a temperature check.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwjt5iftrC0</ref> Growing up with divorced parents, Jack described Karen as "not strict at all" with Garrett, and the juxtaposition with Jack being more demanding apparently "destroyed" Garrett's psyche.<ref name=SundayEveningCoffee>''[[Sunday Evening Coffee]]''</ref><br />
<br />
At the age of 16, Garrett began interning at a computer shop in Huntington Beach, California. In there, he learned how to smoke weed, something that allegedly caused him to turn violent against Jack and Tammy, resulting in [[Sunday Evening Coffee#Jack recalls choking Garrett|Jack choking him out twice]]. Following these events, Garrett was forced out of the Scalfani household - Jack originally intended for Garrett to become homeless for a while and come back crying, however Jack's mom [[Connie Scalfani|Connie]] prevented this from happening by taking him in herself, greatly upsetting Jack.<ref name=SundayEveningCoffee/><br />
<br />
==Career and online activity==<br />
Garrett has previously worked for rappers Andy Milonakis, Mac Miller, Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa. His production company G-Shock Productions has claimed to work on the 2012 film ''Mac & Devin Go to High School'' starring Dogg and Khalifa, however it is not named in the film's credits.<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1870425/companycredits/</reF><br />
<br />
During the NFT craze, Garrett bought a green/purple Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT he called the Grateful Ape. He had a 3D model of the ape avatar he would use as an uncanny glitchy filter on his Instagram stories. It took until around August 2025 for Garrett to ditch the ape as his profile picture on social media, quite long after the NFT fad had died out.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1407892003269771465</ref><br />
<br />
Garrett attended a Backpack Boyz NFT release party in Los Angeles on 20 August 2022 where a shooting had occurred.<ref>https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/hollywood-shooting-2/2968482/</ref> Garrett was interviewed about the situation, in which he struggled to piece together a single sentence, claiming that there was "no homicide" and that he knew the perpetrators.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/reels/Chgo9wXMf-I</ref> There was in fact one person killed in the shooting.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dcwH5DNwjk</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220825005303/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DqXWRam-5E</ref><br />
<br />
Having lived in California for most of his life, in December 2022, Garrett moved to Koh Samui, the second largest island in Thailand. There, he tried various weight loss schemes to varying degrees of success - including bathtub peptides - and bought two mutated pitbulls named [[Scalfani family dogs#Hashley and Dolce|Hashley and Dolce]] that he has taken to beauty contests.<br />
<br />
Around April 2026, Garrett unexpectedly wiped much of his social media presence, perhaps due to his CWJki page being updated with information about Pricilla.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1498090050624426034</ref><ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1498092030872522822</ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===With the Scalfanis===<br />
Garrett is still on phone call terms with Jack, however occassionally sneak-dissing him on his Instagram stories. In January 2023, Garrett was the first to leak Jack having his [[fifth stroke]].<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-14439680</ref><br />
<br />
===With ex-fiance===<br />
[[File:Enigmuuh comment.png|right|150px|thumb|The strange comment left by enigmuuh8802.]]<br />
<br />
Garrett was previously engaged to one Pricilla Toledo, who he nicknamed P-Funk, even shooting a terrible staged video of their engagement. By 2023, Pricilla made a Facebook post stating she had "the courage to leave an abusive [relationship] and ending an engagement I was conned into accepting." The post implies Garrett did not allow Pricilla to go see her dad, who was dying of cancer (but ultimately recovered sometime after the breakup).<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1067178183687934033</ref> Garrett never publicly addressed this matter. In the comments of the now-deleted engagement video, a user named enigmuuh8802 claimed Pricilla "took [Garrett] for everything he's worth and left him".<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1130669036875821107</ref> The user's exact relation to Garrett is unknown.<br />
<br />
==Health==<br />
===Accidents===<br />
Garrett has admitted to having four motorcycle accidents, once flying 20 feet through a car's windshield.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1065644461771722802</ref> This has not stopped him from continued reckless driving on camera, including smoking kush while driving and not paying attention to the road.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1174142605253169335</ref> He has also virtue signalled about "always wear[ing] a helmet, especially in Bangkok", something that he has demonstrably not followed himself.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1171136302322819152</ref><br />

===Emphysema===<br />
Around 14 November 2022, Garrett got informed by his doctor that he has been diagnosed with emphysema (which Garrett downplayed as "VERY VERY MILD") and was recommended to stop smoking weed.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1041869319392464947</ref> He did not stop.<br />

<div>{{Agenda|There's definitely more info out there on Rolex, Zoey and Hashley/Dolce.}}<br />
The Scalfani family has seen its share of pet '''dogs''' over the years, but any canine unlucky enough to land in their hands is not exactly in for a life of tail-wagging bliss.<br />
<br />
With a revolving door of pets treated more like temporary accessories than lifelong companions, the Scalfanis' track record with their four-legged "family members" raises eyebrows, and plenty of questions. Jack has also stated that he refuses to get his dogs treated if the operation costed more than the price he paid for their adoption.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wC5OhERg_M</ref> It's a good thing Jack hates cats at least...<ref>https://allthatbugs.blogspot.com/2008/09/funniest-6-seconds-ever.html</ref><br />

==Rolex==<br />
'''Rolex''' was a Miniature Pinscher owned by [[Garrett]] sometime in the 2010s. It was cremated upon death, and in true Garrett fashion, its ashes were placed in a special-made bong. On 4 February 2025, Garrett's other dogs Hashley and Dolce smashed up the bong in an incident.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1336469779732500583</ref><br />

==Chief and Luna==<br />
'''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of Labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in their small apartment, with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref><br />
<br />
Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers. On 11 May, they listed the dogs on Craigslist for $1000 - a move that violated both the site's terms of service and basic common decency.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11873838</ref><ref>https://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited</ref> Unsurprisingly, the listing was quickly taken down.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11875399</ref> Undeterred by their failed attempt at profiting off living beings, the dynamic duo tried again on 28 May, this time slashing the "price" to $800. Craigslist's moderators, however, were quick to shut it down once more.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12018672</ref> The dogs eventually left the Scalfanis' hands by another undisclosed method.

==HOPE==<br />
{{Quote|Jack only wanted HOPE for those first few puppy months to gain the narc hit. Now she's just a liability that isn't housebroken, never gets walks, and is now shackled with a shock collar because Jagoff nor the fat bitch Hammy bothered to train her. No enrichment, no walks - confined at [[103 Thomas Court]].<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/1144296180470267934</ref>}}<br />
<br />
After little under eight years without owning a dog, Jack brought in the "web-footed Beagle" '''Hope''' (or '''HOPE''' in all caps) in March 2022.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11368963</ref> Jack used Hope as a mascot for ''[[Cooking with Jack]]'' for some time, integrating her into the show's intro and overall branding, before inevitably becoming bored of it and setting her aside as a background piece. Jack has quite the documented love-hate relationship with Hope.<br />
<br />
==="Pure bread"===<br />
Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through." However, from the moment the first photos surfaced, Jack observers were doubtful. Hope's lanky frame, mismatched markings, and overall appearance did not align with the typical beagle look. Instead, many pointed out that she resembled a mutt rather than the floppy-eared hound Jack insisted she was.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pure bread disproven.png|thumb|150px|Turns out Hope isn't "pure bread".]]<br />
People continued asking if Hope was a mixed breed instead, and on 5 May, Jack finally a now-infamous comment admitting: "She wasn't ''pure bread''. They lied to us." Jack claimed that the vet had informed him that Hope was a beagle-collie mix, and expressed frustration that the breeder had duped him. He added: "Next time I'll want papers" as though the lack of pedigree documentation was a minor oversight rather than a glaring red flag.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11826313</ref> For many, this admission confirmed what had long been suspected: Hope likely came from a backyard breeder rather than a professional kennel. Reputable breeders always provide pedigree papers to verify lineage, especially for popular breeds like beagles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jack FB Post - HOPE.png|thumb|250px|Jack being confidently wrong as usual.]]<br />
Despite this incident, Jack's stubborn refusal to admit he could be wrong only intensified. In an attempt to silence critics, Jack shared a baffling story involving his air-conditioning technician, who allegedly identified Hope as a "web-footed Beagle" and a "water dog". According to Jack, the technician confidently explained that Hope's webbed paws were proof of her aquatic heritage.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12179348</ref> However, canine experts and casual dog owners alike were quick to point out that slight webbing is common in beagles - and many other dog breeds - and is not indicative of some mythical sub-breed of water-loving "beagles".<br />
<br />
===Neglect and the "Eternal Harness"===<br />
Jack's initial excitement over Hope seemed to wane once the novelty of puppyhood wore off. This was underscored during a ''Cooking with Jack'' livestream on 10 September 2023, where Jack admitted to using a shock collar for "training." At the 22:13 mark, Jack described how he and Tammy used the device:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We have a shock collar that we use for training on Hope... We use the first two buttons—the first one is a beep, the second is a vibration. That's as far as we go... unless she's doing something dangerous, like climbing up on the stove. Then we apply the shock.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/EFOosYRtlNk?si=TTMpcllDdMGvvgjK&t=1333 DAY OF EXPLANATIONS BY JACK - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
Jack attempted to justify the shock by comparing it to the mild static shock from touching a rug. He claimed they kept it at a "nice low level", and only used the actual shock function sparingly. Despite his defensive explanation, the admission was met with harsh criticism. Many viewers were horrified that Jack would consider such methods necessary due to his and Tammy's own failure to properly train their dog.<br />
<br />
In an earlier video uploaded on 20 April 2022 titled "3 Ingredient KETO Bread", Jack nonchalantly detailed another "training" technique:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I get down on the floor, and we're playing, and she bites me. And I'm like, no biting- stop it- and I tap her on the mouth... She bites me again, even faster, and I'm like bam, so I tap her a little bit harder.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wXmOQabEoQA?si=TCdMR3yv3pbb33aX&t=35 3 Ingredient KETO Bread - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
He framed the situation as a battle for dominance, saying: "Bottom line is, she's gonna lose." Viewers speculated that Jack's "tapping" was actually slapping the dog, further fueling concerns about his approach to pet ownership.<br />
<br />
===Hope as a prop===<br />
Jack's use of Hope as a prop in his content solidified this perception. In his ''Cooking with Jack Show'' intros, Hope was prominently featured in thumbnails, and barking sound effect - completely irrelevant to cooking - were added. Critics accused Jack of using Hope to add a performative "family charm" to his struggling YouTube channel rather than genuinely caring for her.<br />
<br />
The depth of Jack's neglect was laid bare on an 13 April 2022 cooking video, where he candidly admitted that Hope was not house-trained. Laughing awkwardly, Jack described how Hope "loves crapping in the kitchen" and frequently defecated in front of the refrigerator.<ref>[https://youtu.be/INr1DLKRQ3g?si=AfdxoNKpRUNiXMM1&t=67 Egg Roll in a Bowl - Youtube]</ref> The comment was met with widespread disgust, especially given that Jack films his "cooking show" in the same space.<br />

==Zoey==<br />
'''Zoey''', also known as '''ZOE''', is Junior and Brianna's pitbull which was adopted in September 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzgJEwAPxso</ref> According to Jack, Zoey was a rescue dog who was "being trained to do things she shouldn't do", like "competition crap and illegal stuff".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzyrkhFX-Rw</ref><br />
<br />
During a 15 May 2024 livestream, [[Tammy]] was heard in the background ''roaring'' that she was going to "KILL FRICKING ZOEY IN A MINUTE". She later explained that she was trying to treat Zoey for fleas.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-821DhjsBDE</ref> This event regardless showed that Tammy was not particularly fond of the dog. <br />

<br />
These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit bull-type dogs is often used by some breeders to "fix" profitable traits: oversized heads, crushed muzzles, heavy muscle, squat bodies, bowed limbs, rare coat colours, and "tight" pedigrees - that buyers are meant to read as quality, rather than a family tree shaped like a paperclip.<ref>https://www.sparkpaws.com/blogs/community/inbred-pitbulls-here-s-what-you-should-know</ref> In Exotic Bully and Micro Bully lines, this has encouraged increasingly extreme body shapes, because close-kin breeding makes the desired look more predictable, while also giving harmful recessive genes the red-carpet treatment. The worst examples are often described online as "molten" or "melted": dogs with sagging folds, twisted limbs, barely-there muzzles, huge skulls, breathing trouble, eye disease, skin problems, joint pain, and the general structural integrity of a dropped pudding. The "molten" look is therefore not a genuine breed feature, so much as the end product of inbreeding and extreme body-shape selection being allowed to run the kennel like a cursed Etsy shop.<ref>https://rockykanaka.com/bred-to-extremes-examining-the-ethical-quandary-of-exotic-bullies</ref><br />

Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through." However, from the moment the first photos surfaced, Jack observers were doubtful. Hope's lanky frame, mismatched markings, and overall appearance did not align with the typical beagle look. Instead, many pointed out that she resembled a mutt rather than the floppy-eared hound Jack insisted she was.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pure bread disproven.png|thumb|150px|Turns out Hope isn't "pure bread".]]<br />
People continued asking if Hope was a mixed breed instead, and on 5 May, Jack finally a now-infamous comment admitting: "She wasn't ''pure bread''. They lied to us." Jack claimed that the vet had informed him that Hope was a beagle-collie mix, and expressed frustration that the breeder had duped him. He added: "Next time I'll want papers" as though the lack of pedigree documentation was a minor oversight rather than a glaring red flag.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11826313</ref> For many, this admission confirmed what had long been suspected: Hope likely came from a backyard breeder rather than a professional kennel. Reputable breeders always provide pedigree papers to verify lineage, especially for popular breeds like beagles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jack FB Post - HOPE.png|thumb|250px|Jack being confidently wrong as usual.]]<br />
Despite this incident, Jack's stubborn refusal to admit he could be wrong only intensified. In an attempt to silence critics, Jack shared a baffling story involving his air-conditioning technician, who allegedly identified Hope as a "web-footed Beagle" and a "water dog". According to Jack, the technician confidently explained that Hope's webbed paws were proof of her aquatic heritage.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12179348</ref> However, canine experts and casual dog owners alike were quick to point out that slight webbing is common in beagles - and many other dog breeds - and is not indicative of some mythical sub-breed of water-loving "beagles".<br />
<br />
===Neglect and the "Eternal Harness"===<br />
Jack's initial excitement over Hope seemed to wane once the novelty of puppyhood wore off. This was underscored during a ''Cooking with Jack'' livestream on 10 September 2023, where Jack admitted to using a shock collar for "training." At the 22:13 mark, Jack described how he and Tammy used the device:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We have a shock collar that we use for training on Hope... We use the first two buttons—the first one is a beep, the second is a vibration. That's as far as we go... unless she's doing something dangerous, like climbing up on the stove. Then we apply the shock.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/EFOosYRtlNk?si=TTMpcllDdMGvvgjK&t=1333 DAY OF EXPLANATIONS BY JACK - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
Jack attempted to justify the shock by comparing it to the mild static shock from touching a rug. He claimed they kept it at a "nice low level", and only used the actual shock function sparingly. Despite his defensive explanation, the admission was met with harsh criticism. Many viewers were horrified that Jack would consider such methods necessary due to his and Tammy's own failure to properly train their dog.<br />
<br />
In an earlier video uploaded on 20 April 2022 titled "3 Ingredient KETO Bread", Jack nonchalantly detailed another "training" technique:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I get down on the floor, and we're playing, and she bites me. And I'm like, no biting- stop it- and I tap her on the mouth... She bites me again, even faster, and I'm like bam, so I tap her a little bit harder.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wXmOQabEoQA?si=TCdMR3yv3pbb33aX&t=35 3 Ingredient KETO Bread - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
He framed the situation as a battle for dominance, saying: "Bottom line is, she's gonna lose." Viewers speculated that Jack's "tapping" was actually slapping the dog, further fueling concerns about his approach to pet ownership.<br />
<br />
===Hope as a prop===<br />
Jack's use of Hope as a prop in his content solidified this perception. In his ''Cooking with Jack Show'' intros, Hope was prominently featured in thumbnails, and barking sound effect - completely irrelevant to cooking - were added. Critics accused Jack of using Hope to add a performative "family charm" to his struggling YouTube channel rather than genuinely caring for her.<br />
<br />
The depth of Jack's neglect was laid bare on an 13 April 2022 cooking video, where he candidly admitted that Hope was not house-trained. Laughing awkwardly, Jack described how Hope "loves crapping in the kitchen" and frequently defecated in front of the refrigerator.<ref>[https://youtu.be/INr1DLKRQ3g?si=AfdxoNKpRUNiXMM1&t=67 Egg Roll in a Bowl - Youtube]</ref> The comment was met with widespread disgust, especially given that Jack films his "cooking show" in the same space.<br />

==Zoey==<br />
'''Zoey''', also known as '''ZOE''', is Junior and Brianna's pitbull which was adopted in September 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzgJEwAPxso</ref> According to Jack, Zoey was a rescue dog who was "being trained to do things she shouldn't do", like "competition crap and illegal stuff".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzyrkhFX-Rw</ref><br />
<br />
During a 15 May 2024 livestream, [[Tammy]] was heard in the background ''roaring'' that she was going to "KILL FRICKING ZOEY IN A MINUTE". She later explained that she was trying to treat Zoey for fleas.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-821DhjsBDE</ref> This event regardless showed that Tammy was not particularly fond of the dog. <br />

<br />
These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit bull-type dogs is often used by some breeders to "fix" profitable traits: oversized heads, crushed muzzles, heavy muscle, squat bodies, bowed limbs, rare coat colours, and "tight" pedigrees - that buyers are meant to read as quality, rather than a family tree shaped like a paperclip.<ref>https://www.sparkpaws.com/blogs/community/inbred-pitbulls-here-s-what-you-should-know</ref> In Exotic Bully and Micro Bully lines, this has encouraged increasingly extreme body shapes, because close-kin breeding makes the desired look more predictable, while also giving harmful recessive genes the red-carpet treatment. The worst examples are often described online as "molten" or "melted": dogs with sagging folds, twisted limbs, barely-there muzzles, huge skulls, breathing trouble, eye disease, skin problems, joint pain, and the general structural integrity of a dropped pudding. The "molten" look is therefore not a genuine breed feature, so much as the end product of inbreeding and extreme body-shape selection being allowed to run the kennel like a cursed Etsy shop.<ref>https://rockykanaka.com/bred-to-extremes-examining-the-ethical-quandary-of-exotic-bullies</ref><br />

<div>{{Agenda|There's definitely more info out there on Rolex, Zoey and Hashley/Dolce.}}<br />
The Scalfani family has seen its share of pet '''dogs''' over the years, but any canine unlucky enough to land in their hands is not exactly in for a life of tail-wagging bliss.<br />
<br />
With a revolving door of pets treated more like temporary accessories than lifelong companions, the Scalfanis' track record with their four-legged "family members" raises eyebrows, and plenty of questions. Jack has also stated that he refuses to get his dogs treated if the operation costed more than the price he paid for their adoption.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wC5OhERg_M</ref> It's a good thing Jack hates cats at least...<ref>https://allthatbugs.blogspot.com/2008/09/funniest-6-seconds-ever.html</ref><br />

==Cupcake==<br />
'''Cupcake''' was a full-blooded Beagle and Jack's first known dog from the California years.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957778018212917371/1141829175917940797</ref> She was referenced in videos as early as November 2008<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URrHY3AobRg</ref> and lived well into the move to [[157 Trail Ridge Drive]]. Transporting the dog between homes was complicated, with Jack stating he spent $150 to have her sent with a kennel on, taking two flights due to temperature considerations.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37F358lIXXU</ref> According to [[Guests#Joe Chavez|Joe Chavez]], Cupcake got really fat late in its life.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/978827853359640616</ref> Jack first stated Cupcake was dead in November 2017, however she likely died earlier, with her last mention in a video being from August 2015.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLnRGOFzeWA</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp3Jioh5dDo</ref><br />
<br />
Unlike certain later dogs, Cupcake did not appear much in videos at all; in fact Jack actively tried keeping her off-camera, shooing her whenever she tried entering the kitchen,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR3IMvXQJY0</ref> and being annoyed at viewers asking him to show her.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dfR0A_BXjw</ref><br />

==Rolex==<br />
'''Rolex''' was a Miniature Pinscher owned by [[Garrett]] sometime in the 2010s. It was cremated upon death, and in true Garrett fashion, its ashes were placed in a special-made bong. On 4 February 2025, Garrett's other dogs Hashley and Dolce smashed the bong in an accident.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1336469779732500583</ref><br />

==Chief and Luna==<br />
'''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in their small apartment, with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref><br />
<br />
Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers. On 11 May, they listed the dogs on Craigslist for $1000 - a move that violated both the site's terms of service and basic common decency.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11873838</ref><ref>https://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited</ref> Unsurprisingly, the listing was quickly taken down.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11875399</ref> Undeterred by their failed attempt at profiting off living beings, the dynamic duo tried again on 28 May, this time slashing the "price" to $800. Craigslist's moderators, however, were quick to shut it down once more.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12018672</ref> The dogs eventually left the Scalfanis' hands by another undisclosed method. One can only hope the dogs ended up in a far better situation - possibly with owners who saw them as pets rather than assets.<br />

==HOPE==<br />
{{Quote|Jack only wanted HOPE for those first few puppy months to gain the narc hit. Now she's just a liability that isn't housebroken, never gets walks, and is now shackled with a shock collar because Jagoff nor the fat bitch Hammy bothered to train her. No enrichment, no walks - confined at [[103 Thomas Court]].<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/1144296180470267934</ref>}}<br />
<br />
After little under eight years without owning a dog, Jack brought in the "web-footed Beagle" '''Hope''' (or '''HOPE''' in all caps) in March 2022.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11368963</ref> Jack used Hope as a mascot for ''Cooking with Jack'' for some time, integrating her into the show's intro and overall branding, before inevitably becoming bored of it and setting her aside as a background piece. Jack has quite the documented love-hate relationship with Hope.<br />
<br />
==="Pure bread"===<br />
Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through."

'''Jenny''' is a doodle-type dog that Junior got to be a "friend" of Zoey. She was acquired on 2 September 2024.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1280323548275146782</ref> Not much is known about her otherwise. She has been seen in multiple ''Cooking with Jack'' videos, indicating that it is the seniors who often take care of her instead.<br />

The Scalfani family has seen its share of pet '''dogs''' over the years, but any canine unlucky enough to land in their hands is not exactly in for a life of tail-wagging bliss.<br />

With a revolving door of pets treated more like temporary accessories than lifelong companions, the Scalfanis' track record with their four-legged "family members" raises eyebrows, and plenty of questions.

==Chief and Luna==<br />
'''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in their small apartment, with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref><br />
<br />
Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers. On 11 May, they listed the dogs on Craigslist for $1000 - a move that violated both the site's terms of service and basic common decency.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11873838</ref><ref>https://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited</ref> Unsurprisingly, the listing was quickly taken down.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11875399</ref> Undeterred by their failed attempt at profiting off living beings, the dynamic duo tried again on 28 May, this time slashing the "price" to $800.

==HOPE==<br />
{{Quote|Jack only wanted HOPE for those first few puppy months to gain the narc hit. Now she's just a liability that isn't housebroken, never gets walks, and is now shackled with a shock collar because Jagoff nor the fat bitch Hammy bothered to train her. No enrichment, no walks - confined at [[103 Thomas Court]].<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/1144296180470267934</ref>}}<br />
<br />
After little under eight years without owning a dog, Jack brought in the "web-footed Beagle" '''Hope''' (or '''HOPE''' in all caps) in March 2022.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11368963</ref> Jack used Hope as a mascot for ''Cooking with Jack'' for some time, integrating her into the show's intro and overall branding, before inevitably becoming bored of it and setting her aside as a background piece. Jack has quite the documented love-hate relationship with Hope.<br />
<br />
==="Pure bread"===<br />
Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through." However, from the moment the first photos surfaced, Jack observers were doubtful. Hope's lanky frame, mismatched markings, and overall appearance did not align with the typical beagle look. Instead, many pointed out that she resembled a mutt rather than the floppy-eared hound Jack insisted she was.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pure bread disproven.png|thumb|150px|Turns out Hope isn't "pure bread".]]<br />
People continued asking if Hope was a mixed breed instead, and on 5 May, Jack finally a now-infamous comment admitting: "She wasn't ''pure bread''. They lied to us." Jack claimed that the vet had informed him that Hope was a beagle-collie mix, and expressed frustration that the breeder had duped him. He added: "Next time I'll want papers" as though the lack of pedigree documentation was a minor oversight rather than a glaring red flag.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11826313</ref> For many, this admission confirmed what had long been suspected: Hope likely came from a backyard breeder rather than a professional kennel. Reputable breeders always provide pedigree papers to verify lineage, especially for popular breeds like beagles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jack FB Post - HOPE.png|thumb|250px|Jack being confidently wrong as usual.]]<br />
Despite this incident, Jack's stubborn refusal to admit he could be wrong only intensified. In an attempt to silence critics, Jack shared a baffling story involving his air-conditioning technician, who allegedly identified Hope as a "web-footed Beagle" and a "water dog". According to Jack, the technician confidently explained that Hope's webbed paws were proof of her aquatic heritage.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12179348</ref> However, canine experts and casual dog owners alike were quick to point out that slight webbing is common in beagles - and many other dog breeds - and is not indicative of some mythical sub-breed of water-loving "beagles".<br />
<br />
===Neglect and the "Eternal Harness"===<br />
Jack's initial excitement over Hope seemed to wane once the novelty of puppyhood wore off. This was underscored during a ''Cooking with Jack'' livestream on 10 September 2023, where Jack admitted to using a shock collar for "training." At the 22:13 mark, Jack described how he and Tammy used the device:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We have a shock collar that we use for training on Hope... We use the first two buttons—the first one is a beep, the second is a vibration. That's as far as we go... unless she's doing something dangerous, like climbing up on the stove. Then we apply the shock.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/EFOosYRtlNk?si=TTMpcllDdMGvvgjK&t=1333 DAY OF EXPLANATIONS BY JACK - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
Jack attempted to justify the shock by comparing it to the mild static shock from touching a rug. He claimed they kept it at a "nice low level", and only used the actual shock function sparingly. Despite his defensive explanation, the admission was met with harsh criticism. Many viewers were horrified that Jack would consider such methods necessary due to his and Tammy's own failure to properly train their dog.<br />
<br />
In an earlier video uploaded on 20 April 2022 titled "3 Ingredient KETO Bread", Jack nonchalantly detailed another "training" technique:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I get down on the floor, and we're playing, and she bites me. And I'm like, no biting- stop it- and I tap her on the mouth... She bites me again, even faster, and I'm like bam, so I tap her a little bit harder.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wXmOQabEoQA?si=TCdMR3yv3pbb33aX&t=35 3 Ingredient KETO Bread - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
He framed the situation as a battle for dominance, saying: "Bottom line is, she's gonna lose." Viewers speculated that Jack's "tapping" was actually slapping the dog, further fueling concerns about his approach to pet ownership.<br />
<br />
===Hope as a prop===<br />
Jack's use of Hope as a prop in his content solidified this perception. In his ''[[Cooking with Jack Show]]'' intros, Hope was prominently featured in thumbnails, and barking sound effect - completely irrelevant to cooking - were added. Critics accused Jack of using Hope to add a performative "family charm" to his struggling YouTube channel rather than genuinely caring for her.<br />
<br />
The depth of Jack's neglect was laid bare on an 13 April 2022 cooking video, where he candidly admitted that Hope was not house-trained. Laughing awkwardly, Jack described how Hope "loves crapping in the kitchen" and frequently defecated in front of the refrigerator.<ref>[https://youtu.be/INr1DLKRQ3g?si=AfdxoNKpRUNiXMM1&t=67 Egg Roll in a Bowl - Youtube]</ref> The comment was met with widespread disgust, especially given that Jack films his "cooking show" in the same space.<br />

==Zoey==<br />
'''Zoey''', also known as '''ZOE''', is Junior and Brianna's pitbull which was adopted in September 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzgJEwAPxso</ref> According to Jack, Zoey was a rescue dog who was "being trained to do things she shouldn't do", like "competition crap and illegal stuff".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzyrkhFX-Rw</ref><br />
<br />
During a 15 May 2024 livestream, [[Tammy]] was heard in the background ''roaring'' that she was going to "KILL FRICKING ZOEY IN A MINUTE". She later explained that she was trying to treat Zoey for fleas.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-821DhjsBDE</ref> This event regardless showed that Tammy was not particularly fond of the dog. <br />

<br />
These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit bull-type dogs is often used by some breeders to "fix" profitable traits: oversized heads, crushed muzzles, heavy muscle, squat bodies, bowed limbs, rare coat colours, and "tight" pedigrees - that buyers are meant to read as quality, rather than a family tree shaped like a paperclip.<ref>https://www.sparkpaws.com/blogs/community/inbred-pitbulls-here-s-what-you-should-know</ref> In Exotic Bully and Micro Bully lines, this has encouraged increasingly extreme body shapes, because close-kin breeding makes the desired look more predictable, while also giving harmful recessive genes the red-carpet treatment. The worst examples are often described online as "molten" or "melted": dogs with sagging folds, twisted limbs, barely-there muzzles, huge skulls, breathing trouble, eye disease, skin problems, joint pain, and the general structural integrity of a dropped pudding. The "molten" look is therefore not a genuine breed feature, so much as the end product of inbreeding and extreme body-shape selection being allowed to run the kennel like a cursed Etsy shop.<ref>https://rockykanaka.com/bred-to-extremes-examining-the-ethical-quandary-of-exotic-bullies</ref><br />

Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through." However, from the moment the first photos surfaced, Jack observers were doubtful. Hope's lanky frame, mismatched markings, and overall appearance did not align with the typical beagle look. Instead, many pointed out that she resembled a mutt rather than the floppy-eared hound Jack insisted she was.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pure bread disproven.png|thumb|150px|Turns out Hope isn't "pure bread".]]<br />
People continued asking if Hope was a mixed breed instead, and on 5 May, Jack finally a now-infamous comment admitting: "She wasn't ''pure bread''. They lied to us." Jack claimed that the vet had informed him that Hope was a beagle-collie mix, and expressed frustration that the breeder had duped him. He added: "Next time I'll want papers" as though the lack of pedigree documentation was a minor oversight rather than a glaring red flag.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11826313</ref> For many, this admission confirmed what had long been suspected: Hope likely came from a backyard breeder rather than a professional kennel. Reputable breeders always provide pedigree papers to verify lineage, especially for popular breeds like beagles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jack FB Post - HOPE.png|thumb|250px|Jack being confidently wrong as usual.]]<br />
Despite this incident, Jack's stubborn refusal to admit he could be wrong only intensified. In an attempt to silence critics, Jack shared a baffling story involving his air-conditioning technician, who allegedly identified Hope as a "web-footed Beagle" and a "water dog". According to Jack, the technician confidently explained that Hope's webbed paws were proof of her aquatic heritage.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12179348</ref> However, canine experts and casual dog owners alike were quick to point out that slight webbing is common in beagles - and many other dog breeds - and is not indicative of some mythical sub-breed of water-loving "beagles".<br />
<br />
===Neglect and the "Eternal Harness"===<br />
Jack's initial excitement over Hope seemed to wane once the novelty of puppyhood wore off. This was underscored during a ''Cooking with Jack'' livestream on 10 September 2023, where Jack admitted to using a shock collar for "training." At the 22:13 mark, Jack described how he and Tammy used the device:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We have a shock collar that we use for training on Hope... We use the first two buttons—the first one is a beep, the second is a vibration. That's as far as we go... unless she's doing something dangerous, like climbing up on the stove. Then we apply the shock.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/EFOosYRtlNk?si=TTMpcllDdMGvvgjK&t=1333 DAY OF EXPLANATIONS BY JACK - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
Jack attempted to justify the shock by comparing it to the mild static shock from touching a rug. He claimed they kept it at a "nice low level", and only used the actual shock function sparingly. Despite his defensive explanation, the admission was met with harsh criticism. Many viewers were horrified that Jack would consider such methods necessary due to his and Tammy's own failure to properly train their dog.<br />
<br />
In an earlier video uploaded on 20 April 2022 titled "3 Ingredient KETO Bread", Jack nonchalantly detailed another "training" technique:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I get down on the floor, and we're playing, and she bites me. And I'm like, no biting- stop it- and I tap her on the mouth... She bites me again, even faster, and I'm like bam, so I tap her a little bit harder.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wXmOQabEoQA?si=TCdMR3yv3pbb33aX&t=35 3 Ingredient KETO Bread - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
He framed the situation as a battle for dominance, saying: "Bottom line is, she's gonna lose." Viewers speculated that Jack's "tapping" was actually slapping the dog, further fueling concerns about his approach to pet ownership.<br />
<br />
===Hope as a prop===<br />
Jack's use of Hope as a prop in his content solidified this perception. In his ''[[Cooking with Jack Show]]'' intros, Hope was prominently featured in thumbnails, and barking sound effect - completely irrelevant to cooking - were added. Critics accused Jack of using Hope to add a performative "family charm" to his struggling YouTube channel rather than genuinely caring for her.<br />
<br />
The depth of Jack's neglect was laid bare on an 13 April 2022 cooking video, where he candidly admitted that Hope was not house-trained. Laughing awkwardly, Jack described how Hope "loves crapping in the kitchen" and frequently defecated in front of the refrigerator.<ref>[https://youtu.be/INr1DLKRQ3g?si=AfdxoNKpRUNiXMM1&t=67 Egg Roll in a Bowl - Youtube]</ref> The comment was met with widespread disgust, especially given that Jack films his "cooking show" in the same space.<br />

==Zoey==<br />
'''Zoey''', also known as '''ZOE''', is Junior and Brianna's pitbull which was adopted in September 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzgJEwAPxso</ref> According to Jack, Zoey was a rescue dog who was "being trained to do things she shouldn't do", like "competition crap and illegal stuff".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzyrkhFX-Rw</ref><br />
<br />
During a 15 May 2024 livestream, [[Tammy]] was heard in the background ''roaring'' that she was going to "KILL FRICKING ZOEY IN A MINUTE". She later explained that she was trying to treat Zoey for fleas.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-821DhjsBDE</ref> This event regardless showed that Tammy was not particularly fond of the dog. <br />

<br />
These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit bull-type dogs is often used by some breeders to "fix" profitable traits: oversized heads, crushed muzzles, heavy muscle, squat bodies, bowed limbs, rare coat colours, and "tight" pedigrees - that buyers are meant to read as quality, rather than a family tree shaped like a paperclip.<ref>https://www.sparkpaws.com/blogs/community/inbred-pitbulls-here-s-what-you-should-know</ref> In Exotic Bully and Micro Bully lines, this has encouraged increasingly extreme body shapes, because close-kin breeding makes the desired look more predictable, while also giving harmful recessive genes the red-carpet treatment. The worst examples are often described online as "molten" or "melted": dogs with sagging folds, twisted limbs, barely-there muzzles, huge skulls, breathing trouble, eye disease, skin problems, joint pain, and the general structural integrity of a dropped pudding. The "molten" look is therefore not a genuine breed feature, so much as the end product of inbreeding and extreme body-shape selection being allowed to run the kennel like a cursed Etsy shop.<ref>https://rockykanaka.com/bred-to-extremes-examining-the-ethical-quandary-of-exotic-bullies</ref><br />

'''Jenny''' is a doodle-type dog that Junior got to be a "friend" of Zoey.

<div>{{Agenda|There's definitely more info out there on Rolex, Zoey and Hashley/Dolce.}}<br />
The Scalfani family has seen its share of pet '''dogs''' over the years, but any canine unlucky enough to land in their hands is not exactly in for a life of tail-wagging bliss.<br />
<br />
With a revolving door of pets treated more like temporary accessories than lifelong companions, the Scalfanis' track record with their four-legged "family members" raises eyebrows, and plenty of questions. Jack has also stated that he refuses to get his dogs treated if the operation costed more than the price he paid for their adoption.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wC5OhERg_M</ref> It's a good thing Jack hates cats at least...<ref>https://allthatbugs.blogspot.com/2008/09/funniest-6-seconds-ever.html</ref><br />
<br />
==Cupcake==<br />
'''Cupcake''' was Jack's first known dog from the California days.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957778018212917371/1141829175917940797</ref> She was referenced in videos as early as November 2008<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URrHY3AobRg</ref> and lived well into the move to [[157 Trail Ridge Drive]]. Transporting the dog between homes was complicated, with Jack stating he spent $150 to have her sent with a kennel on, taking two flights due to temperature considerations.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37F358lIXXU</ref> According to [[Guests#Joe Chavez|Joe Chavez]], Cupcake got really fat late in its life.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/978827853359640616</ref> Jack first stated Cupcake was dead in November 2017, however she likely died earlier, with her last appearance in a video being in August 2015.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLnRGOFzeWA</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp3Jioh5dDo</ref><br />
<br />
Unlike certain later dogs, Cupcake did not appear much in videos at all; in fact Jack actively tried keeping her off-camera, shooing her whenever she tried entering the kitchen,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR3IMvXQJY0</ref> and being annoyed at viewers asking him to show her.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dfR0A_BXjw</ref><br />

'''Rolex''' was a Miniature Pinscher owned by [[Garrett]] sometime in the 2010s. It was cremated upon death, and in true Garrett fashion, its ashes were placed in a special-made bong. On 4 February 2025, Garrett's other dogs Hashley and Dolce smashed the bong in an accident.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1336469779732500583</ref><br />

==Chief and Luna==<br />
'''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in a small apartment with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref><br />
<br />
Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers. On 11 May, they listed the dogs on Craigslist for $1000 - a move that violated both the site's terms of service and basic common decency.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11873838</ref><ref>https://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited</ref> Unsurprisingly, the listing was quickly taken down.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11875399</ref> Undeterred by their failed attempt at profiting off living beings, the dynamic duo tried again on 28 May, this time slashing the "price" to $800. Craigslist's moderators, however, were quick to shut it down once more.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12018672</ref> The dogs eventually left the Scalfanis' hands by another undisclosed method. One can only hope the dogs ended up in a far better situation - possibly with owners who saw them as pets rather than assets.<br />

==HOPE==<br />
{{Quote|Jack only wanted HOPE for those first few puppy months to gain the narc hit. Now she's just a liability that isn't housebroken, never gets walks, and is now shackled with a shock collar because Jagoff nor the fat bitch Hammy bothered to train her.

<br />
After little under eight years without owning a dog, Jack brought in the "web-footed Beagle" '''Hope''' (or '''HOPE''' in all caps) in March 2022.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11368963</ref> Jack used Hope as a mascot for ''Cooking with Jack'' for some time, integrating her into the show's intro and overall branding, before inevitably becoming bored of it and setting her aside as a background piece. Jack has quite the documented love-hate relationship with Hope.<br />
<br />
==="Pure bread"===<br />
Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through."

'''Jenny''' is a doodle-type dog that Junior got to be a "friend" of Zoey. She was acquired on 2 September 2024.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1280323548275146782</ref> Not much is known about her otherwise. She has been seen in multiple ''Cooking with Jack'' videos, indicating that it is the seniors who often take care of her instead.<br />

{{Quote|CHURRRREEETZO!|Jack, being confidently wrong in his pronounciation of "chorizo".}}<br />
[[File:Stroke speech example.png|thumb|Strokes have impeded Jack's ability to pronounce words like a coherent person.]]<br />
Like many eccentric people, 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.<br />
<br />
The following is an ever-expanding dictionary of Jackisms that are seen and heard on his Youtube shows and social media posts.<br />
<!-- Shortening the table of contents because it'd just have too much shit --> {{TOC limit|2}}<br />
<br />
==Jackisms==<br />
<!-- ====TITLE====<br />
<blockquote><br />
DESCRIPTION<br />
<blockquote>''EXAMPLE''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote> --><br />
====A dark place====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Noun)'' Jack doing moral grandstanding by accussing all his critics of being evil and mentally ill. Because it's okay when he nearly kills his son.<br />
<blockquote>''When you're a nasty person, you're in '''a dark place'''. I'm not!<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA6DDuvsmGI</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''I literally come up with an idea to help people, and you have an issue with it. You must live in '''a dark place'''. You must have a horrible life.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFOosYRtlNk</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''You guys must have a miserable life to be talking to me like that. You must come from '''a dark place''', I feel so sorry for you.<ref>https://x.com/jakatak4/status/1753043768679244186</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====A lot of you====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' Jack pretending that he has an audience that frequently sends him feedback and questions.<br />
<blockquote>''And I just want to explain something because '''a lot of you''' have been asking me...<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHfSTqeA3zU</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>'''''A lot of you''' have been writing me. You always write me what's the best smoker to get.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L1ibBQZ0kc</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''But, yes, '''a lot of you''' have been writing me privately asking where to watch the ceremony if you're not here in Tennessee.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGC2n3mLG5k</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''So, big announcement. We just put more merchandise out. '''A lot of you''' asked. It's the only reason why I brought it back. '''A lot of you''' asked for Boys' Club merchandise.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-jCKYhQL1s</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Big Kahuna====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Noun)'' Jack's seemingly hand-crafted nickname for the State of Israel after he turned against it. Normally it is a Hawaiian slang for an expert or "top dog" in something.<br />
<blockquote>''They're all going to lie. They've all lied. They're all hidden. They've all protected the '''Big Kahuna'''. Remember what the '''Big Kahuna''' is, right?<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJUrhnDi3rI</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''You know, Nick Fuentes is also like Tucker, and not a fan of the '''Big Kahuna'''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ28aWXYuDE</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''So, when I'm talking about the '''Big Kahuna''', they now have their claws into YouTube.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FahmI7Vu0Vo</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====The Boys' Club====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Noun)'' A nickname Jack gave to where he sends people banned from his social media.<br />
<blockquote>''The mods will put you in '''the Boys' Club''' if they feel it's appropriate.''<ref name="ZOZS4PENlyY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOZS4PENlyY</ref></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''You know, Hoosiers, it was nice knowing you, but you have been... basically... graduated to '''the Boys' Club'''. Congratulations!''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xERcO0Reuc</ref></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''So, once again, the moderators are good. They give good warnings. They give second chances. They don't put you in '''the Boys' Club''' right away, but, you know...<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EvR1HQ_qIk</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Check the flame====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' Jack having to remind himself to check if a flame has formed on his gas stove. Evidently, a gas leak was on the verge of happening in the Scalfani household at one point.<br />
<blockquote>''Get it to like a medium-high. '''Check the flame'''... yep, flame's going.''<ref>https://youtu.be/Dx5V_hZd4Q4?si=HhTa4K0zjLgXC6Eh</ref></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Get it lit... yep, we've got a flame. Always '''check to see if you've got a flame'''.''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bN4RraLA5c</ref></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Make sure the flame is lit. Always '''check your flame'''. I tell you guys, look, see? Kitchen's full of gas right now. Whoop, you see that!? Imagine if the whole room was full of gas. Always '''check your flame'''. Okay? Very good safety precaution.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DckBkln3aR4</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Criticize me in private====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' Jack's plea whenever people call him out on obvious bullshit, as he can't handle public confrontation. He won't listen either way, no matter how you reach out to him.<br />
<blockquote>''I'll say it again, if you criticize me publicly on my posts, you mean to hurt me. If you '''privately message me to criticize me''', then you care.''<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1332090535921455229</ref></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''My rule on my social media is '''if you correct me publicly''', you're trying to hurt me. [...] Because they're trying to embarrass you in front of your audience.<ref>https://fatfatgo.com/videos/RJsG6smSSM4</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>[From [[Rob Milanowski]]] ''...[Jack] told me to keep it positive and '''not criticize in public'''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPiYFoowC30&lc=Ugzp0BtA1463YvAZaSt4AaABAg.A98WYOAMvUvA98YUp3K5J6</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Food, family and fun====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' A phrase Jack uses to explain his YouTube content. It was mostly used to wane people off discussing [[Jack and politics|politics]] in his live chats. As Jack became more politically active, he has used the phrase mockingly.<br />
<blockquote>''Let's keep the chat '''family, food, fun'''. That's it.<ref name="ZOZS4PENlyY"/>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Thank you for sticking with the '''food, family, fun'''. It's not hard, guys!<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28HbZPNqzwo</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>'''''FOOD, FAMILY AND FUN''' HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY THE EVILS OF THE WORLD.<ref name="3Qtet9DiGEM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qtet9DiGEM</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''SCREW '''FOOD, FAMILY AND FUN''' TODAY. I NEED YOU GUYS TO WAKE UP.<ref name="3Qtet9DiGEM"/>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====[[Foodjacks]]====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Noun)'' Jack's self-imposed nickname for his nearly non-existent fanbase.<br />
<blockquote>''What's up, '''Foodjacks'''?!<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXeQYKl6hCE</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Anyway, '''Foodjacks''', best community ever.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bximzPZmmdg</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Get the FRICK====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' Jack telling off someone using Christian-approved wording.<br />
<blockquote>''...By the way, George, if it's boring, '''get the FRICK''' off the broadcast? I don't know why you're here.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYkQNTZSH1g</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Eskimo! Eskimo! Eskimo! I am not relearning my whole language because I offended somebody. '''Get the FRICK''' over it.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVyUMHJEB44</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====The guy way====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' Jack doing things what he perceives as the "manly" way. This mostly involves him shoving his fist into things or making a massive fucking mess against all reason.<br />
<blockquote>''I could mix this up with a spoon... but I'm not going to. I'm gonna do it the '''guy way'''! We all know what the '''guy way''' is...<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUW_bXll6YM</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====(I / You) can taste the X====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' When otherwise unable to describe a dish, whether due to fried taste buds or mental deficiency, Jack will often simply name ingredients he knows went in it.<br />
<blockquote>''I'm gonna tell you what I know right now. '''I can taste the pickle. I can taste the onions. I can taste the pork.'''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itMyswZXFd8</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>'''''You can taste the onions, you can taste the garlic'''...<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JaiiTNA5yQ</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Give it a taste. '''You can taste the cumin. You can taste the chocolate. You can taste the coffee grounds'''...<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrLHjax83w8</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Yeah, it's good. '''You can taste the brown sugar. You can taste the cinnamon. You can taste the molasses.'''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApRHhx13JS0</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Hole in the wall====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Idiom)'' A modest or underrated place. Jack said this to an annoying degree throughout 2022.<br />
<blockquote>''...We need more places like this. This is a little '''hole in the wall''', I didn't even know it was here.''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mplHx_Tc7M</ref></blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Leaning keto====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' In midst of the [[Jack and diets#Keto|KETO]] era, Jack thought he could "lean" into a diet by only following it sometimes. Note that you must strictly follow keto if you want to achieve ketosis, which is the whole point of the diet.<br />
<blockquote>''So like... I try to '''lean keto'''. I mean, I don't- if I'm trying a French fry, I try one French fry and I give away the rest. [...] I lean that way. I can't go full keto.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4fe_mNeoi4</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''A lot of you freaked out when I said '''leaning keto'''. That just means I'm not 100%, but it means I lean towards it. Like people- Like leaning Republicans.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ip6mMCmKtY</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>'''''Leaning keto''' meant at one point I was... I was trying to stay keto, but I wasn't a hundred percent. So '''leaning keto''' means I favor keto.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGQCFY6RlXA</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Nobody wants to work (anymore)====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' Used whenever Jack wants to whine about zoomers or being slightly inconvenienced with a service. Especially ironic since Jack has not held a proper job for more than two decades.<br />
<blockquote>''...Then they literally disconnect me. Not like I'm on hold, not like I'm in a waiting queue [...] It's like '''nobody works anymore!'''''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMjmxjsil6E</ref></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''...The current generation, they just don't show up to work. Tammy's work fired people hand-over-fist for them just not showing. '''Nobody wants to work!'''''<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9Hxwm4MIKA</ref></blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Video coming to the Jack on the Go Show on YouTube====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Phrase)'' A plug often added on Jack's reviews of places on Google Maps.<br />
<blockquote>''...They have everything going on. I give them an A-. '''Video coming to the Jack on the go show on YouTube.'''''<ref>https://maps.app.goo.gl/S7UnEqeKv6orFFA58</ref></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''...The prices were surprisingly good. I give us place an A+. '''Video review coming to the Jack On The Go Show.'''''<ref>https://maps.app.goo.gl/TYFc24AqqzjxUUxk7</ref></blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====Wet====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Adverb)'' Jack's favorite term to describe cuts of meat, whether or not said meat is "wet" due to proper cooking methods. In his case, it usually means that the cut of meat, be it poultry, beef, or pork, is undercooked.<br />
<blockquote>''Now I was just gonna carve this, but this thing's so '''wet''', I just wanna show you. Look at this. Can you see how '''wet''' my hands are? [...] Unbelievably '''wet'''. [...] This is the breast meat. It's super '''wet'''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8-crxYOfgA</ref>''</blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Look at that. crusty, crispy on the outside, '''wet''' and moist on the inside. Can you see how '''wet''' that is? Look at it. I just touch it and it just forms juice.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aECRJwBS9eM</ref>''</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
====X GUY====<br />
<blockquote><br />
''(Noun)'' Jack's go-to term for professions, seemingly unable to remember what their actual names are. Often used during the building process of [[2006 Highland Drive]].<br />
<blockquote>''We just got final info from '''soil guy'''.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1080538491877863568/1170013987526680576</ref></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Update: '''Tree guy''' is trying to get us on schedule.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1080538491877863568/1171831155344019587</ref></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>''Update: Still waiting for '''survey guy''' to turn in our paperwork. '''Tree guy''' canceled and rescheduled for next Monday & Tuesday.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1080538491877863568/1176170980612255817</ref></blockquote><br />

<div>{{Agenda|There's definitely more info out there on Cupcake, Zoey and Hashley/Dolce.}}<br />
The Scalfani household has seen its share of dogs over the years, but any canine unlucky enough to land there isn't exactly in for a life of tail-wagging bliss. With a revolving door of pets treated more like temporary accessories than lifelong companions, the Scalfanis' track record with their four-legged "family members" raises eyebrows, and plenty of questions.<br />

==Rolex==<br />
'''Rolex''' was a Miniature Pinscher owned by [[Garrett]] sometime in the 2010s. After it died, in true Garrett fashion, its ashes were placed in a special-made bong. On 4 February 2025, Garrett's other dogs Hashley and Dolce smashed the bong in an accident.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1336469779732500583</ref><br />

==Chief and Luna==<br />
[[File:Chief and Luna.png|thumb|150px|Chief and Luna, being unfortunate enough to land in the Scalfani household.|right]]<br />
<br />
'''Chief and Luna''' were a pair of labradors adopted for free by [[Jack Scalfani II|Junior]] and [[Brianna Scalfani|Brianna]] on 5 February 2022, presumably under the notion that two large dogs would somehow thrive in a small apartment with zero regard for the building's pet policies.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/1034145402213109830/1234947192309944370</ref><br />
<br />
Junior and Brianna, in their infinite wisdom, decided the best course of action after realising they couldn't keep the dogs was to flip them like rare sneakers. On 11 May, they listed the dogs on Craigslist for $1000 - a move that violated both the site's terms of service and basic common decency.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11873838</ref><ref>https://www.craigslist.org/about/prohibited</ref> Unsurprisingly, the listing was quickly taken down.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11875399</ref> Undeterred by their failed attempt at profiting off living beings, the dynamic duo tried again on 28 May, this time slashing the "price" to $800. Craigslist's moderators, however, were quick to shut it down once more.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12018672</ref> The dogs eventually left the Scalfanis' hands by another undisclosed method. One can only hope the dogs ended up in a far better situation - possibly with owners who saw them as pets rather than assets.<br />

==HOPE==<br />
{{Quote|Jack only wanted HOPE for those first few puppy months to gain the narc hit. Now she's just a liability that isn't housebroken, never gets walks, and is now shackled with a shock collar because Jagoff nor the fat bitch Hammy bothered to train her. No enrichment, no walks - confined at [[103 Thomas Court]].<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957782549189496872/1144296180470267934</ref>}}<br />
<br />
After little under a decade without owning a dog, Jack brought in the "web-footed Beagle" '''Hope''' (or '''HOPE''' in all caps) in March 2022.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11368963</ref> Jack used Hope as a mascot for ''Cooking with Jack'' for some time, integrating her into the show's intro and overall branding, before inevitably becoming bored of it and setting her aside as a background piece. Jack has quite the documented love-hate relationship with Hope.<br />
<br />
==="Pure bread"===<br />
Before her arrival, Jack claimed Hope was a "full-blooded Beagle from a reputable breeder."<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11358267</ref> Jack repeatedly doubled down on this assertion across multiple Facebook posts, confidently telling commenters that Hope was a beagle "through and through." However, from the moment the first photos surfaced, Jack observers were doubtful. Hope's lanky frame, mismatched markings, and overall appearance did not align with the typical beagle look. Instead, many pointed out that she resembled a mutt rather than the floppy-eared hound Jack insisted she was.<br />
<br />
[[File:Pure bread disproven.png|thumb|150px|Turns out Hope isn't "pure bread".]]<br />
People continued asking if Hope was a mixed breed instead, and on 5 May, Jack finally a now-infamous comment admitting: "She wasn't ''pure bread''. They lied to us." Jack claimed that the vet had informed him that Hope was a beagle-collie mix, and expressed frustration that the breeder had duped him. He added: "Next time I'll want papers" as though the lack of pedigree documentation was a minor oversight rather than a glaring red flag.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-11826313</ref> For many, this admission confirmed what had long been suspected: Hope likely came from a backyard breeder rather than a professional kennel. Reputable breeders always provide pedigree papers to verify lineage, especially for popular breeds like beagles.<br />
<br />
[[File:Jack FB Post - HOPE.png|thumb|250px|Jack being confidently wrong as usual.]]<br />
Despite this incident, Jack's stubborn refusal to admit he could be wrong only intensified. In an attempt to silence critics, Jack shared a baffling story involving his air-conditioning technician, who allegedly identified Hope as a "web-footed Beagle" and a "water dog". According to Jack, the technician confidently explained that Hope's webbed paws were proof of her aquatic heritage.<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-12179348</ref> However, canine experts and casual dog owners alike were quick to point out that slight webbing is common in beagles - and many other dog breeds - and is not indicative of some mythical sub-breed of water-loving "beagles".<br />
<br />
===Neglect and the "Eternal Harness"===<br />
Jack's initial excitement over Hope seemed to wane once the novelty of puppyhood wore off. This was underscored during a ''Cooking with Jack'' livestream on 10 September 2023, where Jack admitted to using a shock collar for "training." At the 22:13 mark, Jack described how he and Tammy used the device:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We have a shock collar that we use for training on Hope... We use the first two buttons—the first one is a beep, the second is a vibration. That's as far as we go... unless she's doing something dangerous, like climbing up on the stove. Then we apply the shock.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/EFOosYRtlNk?si=TTMpcllDdMGvvgjK&t=1333 DAY OF EXPLANATIONS BY JACK - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
Jack attempted to justify the shock by comparing it to the mild static shock from touching a rug. He claimed they kept it at a "nice low level", and only used the actual shock function sparingly. Despite his defensive explanation, the admission was met with harsh criticism. Many viewers were horrified that Jack would consider such methods necessary due to his and Tammy's own failure to properly train their dog.<br />
<br />
In an earlier video uploaded on 20 April 2022 titled "3 Ingredient KETO Bread", Jack nonchalantly detailed another "training" technique:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>I get down on the floor, and we're playing, and she bites me. And I'm like, no biting- stop it- and I tap her on the mouth... She bites me again, even faster, and I'm like bam, so I tap her a little bit harder.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wXmOQabEoQA?si=TCdMR3yv3pbb33aX&t=35 3 Ingredient KETO Bread - Youtube]</ref></blockquote><br />
<br />
He framed the situation as a battle for dominance, saying: "Bottom line is, she's gonna lose." Viewers speculated that Jack's "tapping" was actually slapping the dog, further fueling concerns about his approach to pet ownership.<br />
<br />
===Hope as a prop===<br />
Jack's use of Hope as a prop in his content solidified this perception. In his ''[[Cooking with Jack Show]]'' intros, Hope was prominently featured in thumbnails, and barking sound effect - completely irrelevant to cooking - were added. Critics accused Jack of using Hope to add a performative "family charm" to his struggling YouTube channel rather than genuinely caring for her.<br />
<br />
The depth of Jack's neglect was laid bare on an 13 April 2022 cooking video, where he candidly admitted that Hope was not house-trained. Laughing awkwardly, Jack described how Hope "loves crapping in the kitchen" and frequently defecated in front of the refrigerator.<ref>[https://youtu.be/INr1DLKRQ3g?si=AfdxoNKpRUNiXMM1&t=67 Egg Roll in a Bowl - Youtube]</ref> The comment was met with widespread disgust, especially given that Jack films his "cooking show" in the same space.<br />

==Zoey==<br />
'''Zoey''', also known as '''ZOE''', is Junior and Brianna's pitbull which was adopted in September 2023.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzgJEwAPxso</ref> According to Jack, Zoey was a rescue dog who was "being trained to do things she shouldn't do", like "competition crap and illegal stuff".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzyrkhFX-Rw</ref><br />
<br />
During a 15 May 2024 livestream, [[Tammy]] was heard in the background ''roaring'' that she was going to "KILL FRICKING ZOEY IN A MINUTE". She later explained that she was trying to treat Zoey for fleas.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-821DhjsBDE</ref> This event regardless showed that Tammy was not particularly fond of the dog. <br />

==Hashley and Dolce==<br />
'''Hashley''' is a "chocolate tri merle micro Thai X American bully" adopted by [[Garrett]] on 27 April 2024.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1234549943998611476</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/takeabull_kennel/reel/C6QM6NkhARl</ref> On 8 May, he also bought '''Dolce''', a "chocolate tri nano" as a sister.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1237858433307246735</ref> Garrett has taken great pride in raising these two mutant spawns, taking them to competition shows and even making a separate Instagram account to show them off, although the latter was hardly ever used before its deletion in April 2026.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1498090050624426034</ref><br />
<br />
These dogs are severely inbred, resulting in the "molten deformed looks" that are apparently quite prized. Inbreeding in pit bull–type dogs is often used by some breeders to "fix" profitable traits: oversized heads, crushed muzzles, heavy muscle, squat bodies, bowed limbs, rare coat colours, and "tight" pedigrees - that buyers are meant to read as quality, rather than a family tree shaped like a paperclip.<ref>https://www.sparkpaws.com/blogs/community/inbred-pitbulls-here-s-what-you-should-know</ref> In Exotic Bully and Micro Bully lines, this has encouraged increasingly extreme body shapes, because close-kin breeding makes the desired look more predictable, while also giving harmful recessive genes the red-carpet treatment. The worst examples are often described online as "molten" or "melted": dogs with sagging folds, twisted limbs, barely-there muzzles, huge skulls, breathing trouble, eye disease, skin problems, joint pain, and the general structural integrity of a dropped pudding. The "molten" look is therefore not a genuine breed feature, so much as the end product of inbreeding and extreme body-shape selection being allowed to run the kennel like a cursed Etsy shop.<ref>https://rockykanaka.com/bred-to-extremes-examining-the-ethical-quandary-of-exotic-bullies</ref><br />

'''Garrett Ryan Scalfani''' (born 2 March 1990)<ref>https://www.fastbackgroundcheck.com/people/garrett-scalfani/id/f7050639717968626696</ref> is [[Jack]]'s son from his first marriage. In the context of the Scalfaniverse, he is primarily known for being the son that Jack [[Sunday Evening Coffee#Jack recalls choking Garrett|choked out]] for allegedly becoming aggressive after beginning to smoke weed. Since December 2022, Garrett has lived in Thailand, peddling crypto scams and trashy weed products.<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
As a baby, Garrett had a glass thermometer lost up his rectum after he peed on Jack during a temperature check.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwjt5iftrC0</ref> Growing up with divorced parents, Jack described Karen as "not strict at all" with Garrett, and the juxtaposition with Jack being more demanding apparently "destroyed" Garrett's psyche.<ref name=SundayEveningCoffee>''[[Sunday Evening Coffee]]''</ref><br />
<br />
At the age of 16, Garrett began interning at a computer shop in Huntington Beach, California. In there, he learned how to smoke weed, something that allegedly caused him to turn violent against Jack and Tammy, resulting in [[Sunday Evening Coffee#Jack recalls choking Garrett|Jack choking him out twice]]. Following these events, Garrett was forced out of the Scalfani household - Jack originally intended for Garrett to become homeless for a while and come back crying, however Jack's mom [[Connie Scalfani|Connie]] prevented this from happening by taking him in herself, greatly upsetting Jack.<ref name=SundayEveningCoffee/><br />
<br />
==Career and online activity==<br />
Garrett has previously worked for rappers Andy Milonakis, Mac Miller, Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa. His production company G-Shock Productions has claimed to work on the 2012 film ''Mac & Devin Go to High School'' starring Dogg and Khalifa, however it is not named in the film's credits.<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1870425/companycredits/</reF><br />
<br />
During the NFT craze, Garrett bought a green/purple Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT he called the Grateful Ape. He had a 3D model of the ape avatar he would use as an uncanny glitchy filter on his Instagram stories. It took until around August 2025 for Garrett to ditch the ape as his profile picture on social media, quite long after the NFT fad had died out.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1407892003269771465</ref><br />
<br />
Garrett attended a Backpack Boyz NFT release party in Los Angeles on 20 August 2022 where a shooting had occurred.<ref>https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/hollywood-shooting-2/2968482/</ref> Garrett was interviewed about the situation, in which he struggled to piece together a single sentence, claiming that there was "no homicide" and that he knew the perpetrators.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/reels/Chgo9wXMf-I</ref> There was in fact one person killed in the shooting.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dcwH5DNwjk</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220825005303/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DqXWRam-5E</ref><br />
<br />
Having lived in California for most of his life, in December 2022, Garrett moved to Koh Samui, the second largest island in Thailand. There, he tried various weight loss schemes to varying degrees of success - including bathtub peptides - and bought two mutated pitbulls named [[Scalfani family dogs#Hashley and Dolce|Hashley and Dolce]] that he has taken to beauty contests.<br />
<br />
Around April 2026, Garrett unexpectedly wiped much of his social media presence, perhaps due to his CWJki page being updated with information about Pricilla.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1498090050624426034</ref><ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1498092030872522822</ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===With the Scalfanis===<br />
Garrett is still on phone call terms with Jack, however occassionally sneak-dissing him on his Instagram stories. In January 2023, Garrett was the first to leak Jack having his [[fifth stroke]].<ref>https://kiwifarms.st/threads/jack-russell-scalfani-cooking-with-jack-jack-on-the-go-show-jakatak.13468/post-14439680</ref><br />
<br />
===With ex-fiance===<br />
[[File:Enigmuuh comment.png|right|150px|thumb|The strange comment left by enigmuuh8802.]]<br />
<br />
Garrett was previously engaged to one Pricilla Toledo, who he nicknamed P-Funk, even shooting a terrible staged video of their engagement. By 2023, Pricilla made a Facebook post stating she had "the courage to leave an abusive [relationship] and ending an engagement I was conned into accepting." The post implies Garrett did not allow Pricilla to go see her dad, who was dying of cancer (but ultimately recovered sometime after the breakup).<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1067178183687934033</ref> Garrett never publicly addressed this matter. In the comments of the now-deleted engagement video, a user named enigmuuh8802 claimed Pricilla "took [Garrett] for everything he's worth and left him".<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1130669036875821107</ref> The user's exact relation to Garrett is unknown.<br />
<br />
==Health==<br />
Garrett has admitted to having four motorcycle accidents, once flying 20 feet through a car's windshield.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1065644461771722802</ref> This has not stopped him from continued reckless driving on camera, including smoking kush while driving and not paying attention to the road.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1174142605253169335</ref> He has also virtue signalled about "always wear[ing] a helmet, especially in Bangkok", something that he has provably not followed himself.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1171136302322819152</ref><br />
<br />
Around 14 November 2022, Garrett got informed by his doctor that he has been diagnosed with emphysema (which Garrett downplayed as "VERY VERY MILD") and was recommended to stop smoking weed.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/957778017277595689/957783767483818074/1041869319392464947</ref> He did not stop.<br />
