^{/  contains just a little spoilers for the cbbb eps and its movie.     anyways laughing bull, the native american featured in ep 1 and the jupiter jazz eps,  had probably influenced spike a lot.  maybe in mental training to help calm himself or even affected his perception of things during a Bad Time (which i’m p sure spike has had a lot of)???}   

^{and i think laughing bull also taught spike how to make the nasty medicine stuff to give to jet when jet got bit by that rotten lobster food in the fridge. :’)  and p much all the medicinal / herbal recipes. y’know with the charred scorpian and lizard ?}

^{i think for a chunk of spike’s time alive laughing bull has been like .. someone he seeks advice from ? and has been .. idk if mentor is the right word fklsdjflsj but just someone important to spike.}
