In October 2015, Jack and Tammy were invited on the now-defunct Christian podcast Sunday Evening Coffee hosted by Brian & Krystal Lawing, primarily to share their strained relations with their son Garrett. During the podcast, the Scalfanis admit to a avalanche of disgusting behavior, including Jack having strangled Garrett twice and "not knowing when to stop."
The podcast episode was released on 15 October 2015, and has haunted Jack ever since, especially when people initially feeling sympathetic to Jack's crippled self take it all back upon watching it.[1]

The Son-choking Incident
The infamous standout moment of the podcast occurred when Jack openly admitted to having choked his son—not once, but twice. At the 25:15 mark of the recording, Jack stated:
"He put his hand on me… and I took him to the ground… The second time, he put his hands on Tammy… and I was gonna kill him. I was choking him out and… screaming in his ear, 'You don’t ever touch a woman!' I was choking him so hard his nose started to bleed, and I didn’t know when to stop."
Jack’s description of the events, disturbingly punctuated with self-justifications, painted a grim picture. He emphasized how Garrett "submitted" during the ordeal, explaining that his son did not fight back or resist, though Jack struggled to discern whether this was due to respect, fear, or love. Jack recounted his thought process with unsettling nonchalance, stating, "The only time you stopped fighting in school was when the principal was coming."
The interview also highlighted Jack’s resentment toward his own parents, whom he blamed for "enabling" Garrett after he was kicked out at 16. Jack expressed his frustration over their decision to take Garrett in, claiming they undermined his tough-love approach and gave Garrett "carte blanche" to continue down a destructive path. Jack’s dismay was evident when he lamented, "In my mind, they ruined everything."
Endorsement of genocide
At the 51:43 mark of the podcast, Jack showcased yet another egregious example of his inability to comprehend the gravity of his words. Following an earlier account where he disturbingly bragged about choking his teenage son, Jack pivoted to another narrative that was equally tasteless, if not more so. He recounted his experience at a Wednesday service at Cornerstone Church, led by the controversial Pastor Maury Davis, a convicted murderer-turned-preacher. Jack and Tammy, killing time while waiting to pick someone up, decided to "sit through the service." What followed was jaw-dropping.
Jack described how, early in the sermon, Pastor Davis proclaimed, "We need to napalm the Palestinians."

Video
Aftermath
Shortly upon the episode's release, anons from the 4chan /ck/ board took notice of Jack's numerous confessions and began spreading clips of them around YouTube. The Sunday Evening Coffee Twitter account bragged about the episode gaining a thousand views,[3] before quickly realising why, and took the episode down shortly after. Both Brian and Jack attempted for months to scrub the episode and clips of it off the internet.[4][5] Ultimately, the episode continued spreading around since, becoming the catalyst of the 2024 AugustTheDuck doxing hoax.
The Sunday Evening Coffee podcast itself continued releasing episodes, up until the 41st episode on 26 February 2017.[6]
