This incident occurred during the filming of his ''Coffee Sock'' video. In the first segment, Jack appeared energetic, explaining how to make cold brew coffee using a reusable cotton filter. | ||
However, at the 2:31 mark, the video cuts abruptly. When Jack reappeared, he was wearing different clothes and noticeably struggling with his speech and motor skills.

Despite losing the use of his right arm, videos emerged showing Jack continuing to indulge in fast food, often with Tammy enabling his behavior under the pretense of filming ''Jack on the Go'' fast food reviews. When fans questioned his choices, Jack offered increasingly absurd excuses, claiming he “only takes a bite for the show,” “lets Tammy eat the rest,” “packs up the leftovers for the kids,” or even hands the half-eaten food “to the homeless.” | ||

He described feeling a sharp pressure behind his ear that spread up his head and down his neck. Recognising the symptoms, Jack called his son, Jack Jr., instead of dialing emergency services. Jack Jr. reportedly drove at “breakneck speed” to get him to the ER—a decision that many fans criticised as reckless, considering the potential danger to both of them and the missed opportunity for rapid medical intervention. | ||
