Talking to a local radio show on Wednesday, Jackson revealed that he’s been doing everything to try and get rid of these hiccups — including getting a live porcupine and getting a big ‘ol whiff of its butt.

“I have done everything — scare me, drink water upside down, smell the ass of a porcupine, it doesn’t work.
