I could see Jack trying to cover up how serious his condition is. Maybe he's in the beginning stages of renal or heart failure, and the doctors are telling him and TamHam that if he doesn't make any lifestyle changes, that he's basically one foot in the grave. I don't think Jack is quite on death's door, but he's getting closer and closer with each passing day he continues to shovel meat, cheese, and lard down his throat.
Correction: He’s had a foot in the grave since the stroke that killed his right arm/side and left him hobbling like a crippled penguin. The blown Achilles tendons was just God literally adding insult to injury, because that only made the hobble more pronounced.
I like to imagine the scenario you describe. The doctor will gently, but firmly be telling Jack that he needs a total 180 in his lifestyle if he wants to see the end of 2023. Even in his critical condition (as previously demonstrated), Jack’s hatred of all things clinical will kick in- he will *still* be argumentative, combative, and pompous with the doctor, insisting that
he knows more than a trained M.D. Makes me wonder if Tammy, sitting at his bedside, would ever interject and tell Jack to calm down/shut up and let the doc speak.
That's the aggravating part of this: Tammy would likely never let anyone know except those in a very close inner circle. She wouldn't let the Facebook groups know and wouldn't post videos. She'd just let it all fade away.
My guess is that she (on some level) still loves Jack, and cares enough to not want to see him humiliated further, if she can help it. Plus, she is aware that anything negative regarding Jackoff reflects onto her- as the woman dumb enough to marry and associate herself with him, any fuckups on his part put her within blast radius by default. She probably just wants to avoid the storm of indignity that would form as a result of being honest about Jack’s condition.
There was a time when Jack was more open about his health issues- with two of his strokes, he made video updates on CWJ to tell the audience what happened/where he’d gone. These days, and with the criticism getting under his skin significantly more (as evident in what he’s subtracted from more recent uploads because he reads here), he probably knows that news of further crises is pure troll fodder at this point.
Additionally, this could be indicative of him finally starting to realize just how much his viewership has dwindled. Back when he was more open about his issues, his viewership was slightly better and he was getting more engagement via YouTube comments and social media (which boosted his ego). He probably
liked his audience at that point, and felt the need to tell out of courtesy.
Now he knows that there’s no expanse of benevolently concerned viewers wanting to know if he’s okay- all that’s left are the hatewatchers.
Then came to shutdown of the comment section and its consequences. The Jack of today dislikes his viewers and is sick of constantly being told he’s wrong. He even despises the mere act of producing his shows, which is why they’re joyless and abbreviated. Hence the silence/dishonesty(?) we’re currently seeing.
I think we’ve got to acknowledge that Jack will probably never publicly talk about his health again, unless it’s to virtue signal like he did with Profile by Sanford. Which, by the way, how’s that going, Jacko? How many of the 100 lbs have you lost so far?
