Conspiracy Theories Anyone? Mar 28, 2024

On this episode, Cadillac and Donna talk about Sara Evans and her new podcast discussing her marriage troubles for the first time. Also, Brian Kelly, formerly of Florida Georgia Line, has written a song which can be best decribed as a "middle finger" to his former partner Tyler Hubbard. Plus, the Baltimore bridge incident, and some interesting theories.

Ch-ch-ch-changes. Mar 26, 2024

An update on Riley Strain. And as a new season begins, changes are in the wind. Plus, Donna forgot to wear her underwear, again.

Just do it Mar 07, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Your favorite song is on. Drop your drink and hit the dancefloor.

You know when someone thinks they recognize you, but there is no way they could, would or should? It’s annoying. And you have better things to do then help them figure that out! Well, Donna certainly did while working her store in Alabama last week.

Related, she also had to ride in an elevator with a man who was…not happy with his wife. Just do better man, ok?

Also, Donna talks about an article she read on a new recently detailing a new trend, especially with moms, that involves microdosing mushrooms. It’s a brave new world, folks.

Lastly, a fun segment detailing “Drop Your Drink Songs”. You know what we are talking about: the songs you hear when out at a bar or club that as SOON as you hear the first few notes drive you to immediately find your way to the dance floor.

All that and more on today’s episode!

Obviously, we want to know what your “drop your drink song” is. Let us know! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Eating like a hostage Feb 29, 2024

This is a dynamic episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. That means it'll be different depending on who is listing to the show.

Just kidding of course, but it is something a few national businesses are trying out. Caddy and Donna Jack touch on the topic over a biggie bag in the first segment of the show.

From there Caddy walks all over Donna (or so says one listener) as usual into the next part of the episode. They do also touch on the tragedy that occurred in Athens by the campus of University of Georgia. It's a short story that ends with important message. Let us know what you think. 7704646024.

Angry crotch Feb 27, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act Podcast! Pro tip: don’t get in cars with strangers.

As you all know by now, Donna has been crushing it on the rowing machine. She may have gone a little overboard recently though, and she’s got a story that Caddy is hearing for the first time. It’s a doozy, so buckle up.

Also, Caddy has a throwback to the Hooters 500. Caddy grew up in Hickory, NC, considered by many to be the birthplace of racing. He talks NASCAR, Atlanta Motor Speedway and the history of country music radio shows and their partnership with and promotion of racing.

Lastly, Donna introduces a segment about Jelly Roll, his 15-year-old daughter and his wife Bunny’s podcast that is both devastating and powerful.

We love out pod peeps! Drop us a line, especially if we haven’t heard from you in a while. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Dog and pony show Feb 22, 2024

Here we go again on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

How seriously do you take student athletics? For some parents, it's a lot. For Donna and Caddy, it's a different story. We kick off the episode with a reminder that civility and support should come first.

We jump over Donna's notes for Cadillac Jack on how we can improve. Why? Because we only have an hour here with you today. So the convo moves on to some country music headlines. There's a new name on the top of the charts and everyone should bow down. (That's a hint.) And program directors just aren't the same as they used to be. Is that a good thing? Let us know. 7704646024.

Hookup Culture Feb 20, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! On today’s show, Luke Combs does an oopsie and Caddy discovers Donna’s canned vegetables.

But first, Donna and Caddy describe a recent date night to one of their favorites – Heavenly Foot Massage. It used to be a little bit sketch, but they’ve really turned it into a swanky place. A late night steak and a foot rub down. Anything better?

Also, Caddy discovers something in the pantry that Donna swears she’d never buy. Find out what and how she tries to explain it away.

Also, Donna talks about the phenomenon that is hookup culture. And, it’s not just running rampant with the young folk. It’s prevalent with the old folk, too. What is wrong with people? Go enjoy a nice dinner and a movie and touch grass.

We’ve also got some Beyonce and Luke Combs for you. All that and much, much more on today’s jam packed episode!

Thanks for stopping by. What’s your favorite date night spot? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Weekend at Caddy's Feb 16, 2024

We're in turbo mode here at Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Let's run this one wet and hang it up dry. No beds here, are your ears OK? Let us know. 7704646024.

The Swifty Effect Feb 13, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Let’s recap the Usher halftime show – I mean the Super Bowl.

First though, we have some updates on our dear Roscoe. He is recouping nicely from his $5,200 surgery (!). However, he is a sneaky little devil and we need to keep an eye on him…as you loyal listeners already know.

Drumroll please…the numbers are in for the Super Bowl and we now know that it was the most watched program in the history of television! Not in the history of sports – all of television. We in the biz like to call this the Swifty effect. We touch on the top commercials and you know Donna has some things to say about that steamy halftime show.

Lastly, it is becoming clear that the younger generation is losing faith in the institution of marriage. Why is that, and is it a big deal?

All that and more on today’s jam packed episode.

What was your favorite Super Bowl commercial? Let us know! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Thanks, Toby. Feb 08, 2024

Today we celebrate the life, times and music of Toby Keith. We cut the intro bed to make room for the dedication the man deserved. Hear stories from Cadillac and Donna Jack as they remember Big Dog Daddy. You'll be hearing most of them for the first time, too, because Caddy forgot to hit record for the original interview. Not the first time we've hired a forensic investigator. You get it. There's also a quick touch on the Grammy's and your favorite lavellas. So thanks Toby - this one's for you. 7704646024.

Taylor Swift Stands Alone Feb 06, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! On today’s show Donna gets into another wrestling match with an elderly.

But first, why can’t Caddy and Donna get on the same page? Movies, walks with dog, smoking cigarettes, etc. etc. Caddy has a list of the things (thing) that he is willing to do.

Also, what a Grammy’s show! Wow. Luke Combs and Tracey Chapman stole the show with their duet of Fast Car, but the whole thing was fantastic. Joni Mitchell – wow. And Billy Joel has a new song?! However…you know it’s all about T-Swift and we’re here for it.

Poor Darius Rucker though. February is not his month. Donna lays out the timeline for his recent arrest. It’s confusing.

Lastly, Donna recaps another episode with an elderly involving pig tails, blankets and stolen universal remotes.

All that and more on today’s jam packed episode!

Chiefs vs. 49ers Sunday. Who you got?! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Tik Tok harassment Feb 01, 2024

We're approaching ski season here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

Take a listen to the episode and then show us your salad. Hopefully it looks better than ours. 7704646024.

Lean in close Jan 30, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! We’ve got Alan Jackson, Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift news for you today. What more do you need?

But first, Alex Murdaugh was in the news again this week when he made a motion for a new trial. Apparently, the County Clerk may have not been able to keep her mouth shut throughout the trial and one of the jurors says that she may have influenced their decision to convict. However, the judge denied his motion. Can you imagine if we had to sit through another trial?!

The news sure does make Caddy miss his unpaid jury consultant days. He wouldn’t have put up with that garbage from the County Clerk.

Also, Taylor Swift: is she going to make it to Vegas in time for her beau’s football game? The Super Bowl, that is. She will be in Japan for a concert the day before. Aviation experts everywhere are crunching the numbers to see if she will be able to make it back in time.

There was a very strange story about three Chiefs fans who froze to death on a back porch. Caddy and Donna weigh in.

Alan Jackson, Morgan Wallen and much more on today’s episode! Thanks for tuning in.

Are you more or less likely to watch the Super Bowl because of the T-Swift drama? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Stoners vs. Drinkers Jan 24, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! On today’s show Donna describes how she sold the vest off a man’s back.

But first, have you ever walked into a Starbucks and someone was just…drinking coffee? Most of the time, you’ll see someone on their phone, laptop or reading a book. Well, Donna spotted an older gentleman who was just sitting back and enjoying a cup of joe. Imagine that. Have we become too busy to just slow down and take a look around?

Speaking of too busy: Caddy is finding it…difficult to get in some piano practices before his big show. He has plenty of good excuses though, or so says Caddy.

Also, you won’t want to miss this story about how Donna literally sold the vest off a man’s back unbeknownst to him. We all know Donna is a great salesperson, but this is next level.

Lastly, we have a conversation about Elle King’s recent “performance” at a Dolly Parton tribute concert where she showed up absolutely hammered and frankly, embarrassed herself. Who was at fault? When do you know you have a problem?

Have you ever had to apologize to someone for your actions the night before while in the cups? Let us know and for what. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Big burly fellows Jan 18, 2024

It's all fun and games on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Until it's not.

Donna starts us off with a recent episode of big burly men. Caddy responds that it kind of makes him want some new luggage. You know, to leave town. Then we talk about Chase Rice and some other wintery country music artists.

Donna brings up what everyone (besides Cadillac Jack) is talking about - Saltburn. No spoilers here, but you will probably want to go watch it after this episode. Just do it cautiously.

We round the corner going through Caddy's recent accidents and road disputes. We have to cut it off because of the time limit. You get it. Honk the horn. 7704646024.

Caddy has come around on Jelly Roll Jan 16, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. At first, Caddy wasn’t so sure about Jelly Roll. Was he mocking country music? Was he a serious musician. Well, he’s sold now.

But first, Donna wants to check in with you guys on how those New Years resolutions are going? We are three weeks into 2024 and she’s still rowing away, but how you doing?

Also, has anyone seen Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani? Seriously. They used to be hand in hand all the time on social media, but Donna thinks that something is up. Are the on the rocks?

Speaking of on the rocks…Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan had to make an emergency landing when the plane they were flying in started to have instrument trouble. All turned out OK, but good grief what a scary episode.

THUGS segment: You know Donna is here for it. Janet should avoid boosting cars in the future. And can she please just pull over and give herself up like a lady? No need to take everyone on an adventure through the wood.

And lastly, Caddy’s has some thoughts on Jelly Roll. At first he wasn’t so sure about him, but he has definitely come full circle. Especially after his recent testimony before congress urging the government to take the fentanyl epidemic seriously. Hat’s off to you, Jelly Roll.

Have you left us a review? If not, we’d really appreciate it. Your support helps others find the podcast. Once you do text or call us and let us know so we can thank you! 770-464-6024.

Right on his tail Jan 12, 2024

Marriage, parenting and personal growth. You know those are some major focuses of the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Today is no different.

Donna kicks us off by talking about something, really, entirely different. She got in a fight at Zaxby's. It's a long story. Have you ever had that Kickin' sauce? You get it.

We also reminisce on some My Second Act anniversaries. The big part of it would be the tornados that seem to follow us around this time of year.

Interesting note about some of the regulations around "Super serving" the community as a broadcast product. The good thing for us now is that, without the obligations of terrestrial media, we don't have to talk about it anymore! You want local news, community, weather and activities? Look elsewhere because you won't find it here. (Pro tip: you never really got it from terrestrial before, but we'll all smile and wave)

That's really it. How long have YOU been listening? Let us know. 7704646024.

View from the top Jan 10, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! It’s been a long and rough road, but we’re here, and everything is peachy.

Have you noticed that food has gotten a lot more expensive at restaurants and the service isn’t as good as it once was? Donna has, and combined with the fact that she is just a little tired of going out, she is spending a lot more time at the grocery store. Can anyone out there relate?

It also reminds us of kids, college, and how we all just have different life experiences and upbringing.

Have you all been keeping up with this craziness that is Gypsy Rose? For those unfamiliar, this was am awful situation where a girl (Gypsy) was abused by her mother and to escape the abuse Gypsy hired a hit man who stabbed her mother to death. Just awful. Well, after serving 8 years in prison, Gypsy is now out and has her own TV show, book, etc.

We talk about trauma, and how human beings cope and respond to trauma in their lives.

Want to get in touch with us? Call or text anytime – we’d love to hear from you. Text or call 770-464-6024.

The year of no Jan 04, 2024

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Don’t ever sit too close to Donna in a movie theatre. She’s not having it.

But first, 2023 was the year of “yes” for Donna, as she tried new things, had lunch with old friends and in general tried to be accommodating and stay busy. Well, 2024 is the year of “no”, folks. No more Mrs. Nice Donna. And that includes people who want to sit too close to her in a movie theatre while she is trying to eat her popcorn and Junior Mints…

Oprah recently revealed she is trying a new weight loss drug and Donna and Caddy get into the new phenomena and why and how people try body altering drugs and procedures. Donna makes no bones about her own experiences and shares some skin peeling moments she suffered through.

And, as promised, we’ve got a new THUGS Segment. Any good reason to be out on the road at 3:30 on Christmas Eve? We don’t think so. And one of those reasons is definitely not to test drive a care. Tune in and find out how Mr. Darius found himself in some trouble.

Fair or foul? Was Donna right to be annoyed with Mr. Bob’s antics in the movie theatre? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Sleep and water and SuperSpeeders Jan 02, 2024

Happy New Year and welcome to 2024 days of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Let's begin.

Donna is trying to do better this year. To make it happen she is going day by day. She starts the show off with her New Years semi-resolutions. The word of 2024 is wellness. Short, sweet and simple. Really though it's a special and important segment that means a lot for us, and we hope it means a lot for you too.

Caddy is working on his ability to sustain. Will he stretch? Sleep? We'll see. Don't hold your breath as you climb those stairs to heaven.

Are you an insurance agent willing to help out a very fast driving Cadillac (Jack)? Let us know. If we're not in need now we will be soon. 7704646024.

Is he capable? Dec 23, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! On today’s episode, Donna is in hot demand.

Donna’s mom has a new roommate a the assisted living facility. Donna was helping her get all moved in, and making sure she was comfortable, when all of a sudden Donna was assaulted. In more ways than one.

Also, have you seen the new David Beckham documentary? Donna has…and she’s a fan.

Lastly, we have got a HUGE country music round-up you will not want to miss. Gabby Barrett, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and more. Tune in!

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Always feel free to reach out to us. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Have some self-control Dec 19, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! On the show today we’re embracing our responsibility to help guide the next generation.

But first, Donna can’t get to sleep. Too many TikTik videos to watch. The struggle is real.

Also, we have a bit of a recap from when all the kids were home for Thanksgiving – plus Fudge – and the trail of messes they left in their wake. One day we’ll get the house clean. One day…

Donna tells a story about a couple who frequent her shop and a connection she made with the wife. She had recently become a new mother and Donna had some advice for her.

We’ve also got some cool Jelly Roll tape and a heartwarming story about the Gaddy Family in Fayetteville told as only Caddy can.

Enjoy!

Have any Christmas stories you’d like to share? It’s that time of year. Text or call 770-464-6024.

The Fraud Boy Dec 14, 2023

We're suing fans here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Or at least we are talking about people suing fans. Where's our Luke Combs hero?

Today we talk about a whole schnitzel of topics. Donna continues to get literally targeted by Instagram ads. This time for feline eye wipes. Then she talks with her handy handyman live on the air. Caddy remains unbothered. So unbothered, in fact, that the following segment is Donna offering an update on her medical condition. It's all news to Cadillac Jack.

There's a segment to hear and make sense of, but it's short and painless. See if you can make out the conversation better than Donna Jack. We round it out with a segment about suing, and then protecting fans. You know what? Lets talk after the show. 7704646024.

Toot away, toot away Dec 12, 2023

Welcome to Cadillac Jack – My Second. Stay for the toots, but 15 second hugs maximum.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Thanks to Wil. Definitely not Caddy. Wil helped Donna get Christmas decorations out and put up the tree. Remember when kids were little and decorating sounded good in theory, but you were always left to handle it all yourself? Well, thank God Wil was there, because Caddy just didn’t want to interfere.

Speaking of Christmas: Caddy just got done helping the Fayetteville PD with their Shop With a Cop Christmas with Cops program. They do a great job down there. So good, in fact, we would recommend you not try to shoplift WHILE all the cops are in the store.

Lastly, Noah Kahan poops himself. Or so he says. Hear from Donna about how a little stage theatre can go awry.

Favorite Christmas song? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Santa tucked me in Dec 07, 2023

Great day to be alive here on the Cadillac Jack: My Favorite Act podcast.

Donna kicks us off with her Rise and Fall of the Christmas Card. We think you'll relate. Then we talk Amy and TJ. A couple that are launching their own podcast. Just despicable, right? We talk challenges, divorce and projection to round it all off.

Caddy gets a little sentimental as we approach four years of the show. Can you believe it? Donna keeps the sentiment up by batting it right back. We're all just glad to be here.

Anyways, enough of that straw. Donna Jack gives us a much needed update on Peanut the Deer and her thugs. You know what we like to say. Deep tracks only.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals. 7704646024.

Peanut the Piebald Deer Dec 05, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast! Donna has a new friend. His name is Peanut. He’s a deer. But not just any deer – he is a piebald that likes to hang out in the Jack’s backyard. Can he sleep in their bed just ONE night?? Please?!

Donna just got back from Las Vegas where she saw U2 in the famous sphere. She talks about the experience, the state of Vegas, and how this is her year of ‘yes’.

Caddy and Donna talk a little bit more about Rosalynn Carter and the love affair she had with her husband of 75+ years, Jimmy. They played a little bit from the memorial service where daughter Amy read a love letter he wrote Rosalynn when he was in the Navy 75 years ago. Has Caddy ever written Donna a love letter? Well, he has now.

Strangest animal you have ever seen in your backyard: go. Text or call 770-464-6024.

The apologies of Cadillac Jack Nov 30, 2023

Does Cadillac Jack owe you an apology? Get in line. It's the admissions and revisions episode of My Second Act.

Cadillac and Donna Jack make a few calls to kick off the show because Caddy has a few things to get off his chest. But most of them turn into a bit of an argument about whether has anything to apologize for. Spoiler alert: he thinks he doesn't.

There's just one thing we want to know - how come y'all got married? 7704646024

Body parts swaying and swinging Nov 28, 2023

Welcome to another episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Hide your grandmas. Caddy was dismissed from ham duty.

You made it! We all made it! We got through Thanksgiving in one piece. Caddy did great – well, mostly. He got at least some of his food shopping done and he picked up Nana for the festivities. That’s a whole different story though.

It got us to talking about ageing and how we as humans and family members cope with loved ones getting older and losing some of their facilities. It’s hard, but it’s a part of life and it is our duty to protect and cherish our elders.

Speaking of Thanksgiving…anyone else do any Black Friday shopping? We know they did in Alpharetta! Donna’s story was slammed. It is really something to observe retail shoppers – especially on Black Friday.

Now bring on Christmas!

There is also a story about something…smelly and gross that happened on a Frontier flight over the weekend. And you KNOW we are going to discuss how good Dolly Parton looked during the halftime of the Cowboys game. 77 years old? Are you kidding me?!

What’s on YOUR Christmas list this year? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

What's wrong with Ollie's green beans? Nov 23, 2023

It's time for our very special Thanksgiving Day special here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

It's time for the palooza and Caddy has to go grocery shopping. Anyone know a place that's open?

We are seeking guests for our trunk-to-table celebration this year. The only requirements are that you are allowed a plate warmer only. No other preparation will be made available.

Donna gives us some tips on proper Black Friday etiquette. Here's a tip: do not fold the shirt. You do not know how to fold the shirt. We have kids for that. We go from there to a recap of the old Macy's Thanksgiving events downtown. Oh the pentatonic memories.

Hang on, I need to go get some candelabra bulbs. Let me know when you're stuffed. 7704646024.

Throat punching Nov 21, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! If you see Donna while Black Friday Shopping – run. She’s in a throat punching mood.

But first, do you ask your kids for their Christmas lists? It changes as they get older, and their priorities change, but you still want to surprise them? Remember when you needed to make sure that each pile of presents had the same amount in them or you had some ‘splaining to do?

What gives with Morgan Wallen winning 11 BMA’s and 0 CMA’s? Well, we’ll tell you.

Thanksgiving: we are almost there! Donna talks about how there has been some news lately that weight loss drugs are putting a damper on some people’s Thanksgiving plans. Caddy is just fine to fill in the gaps they are leaving. Pun intended.

And speaking of Thanksgiving – make sure to save some time for us and our Thanksgiving-pa-looza episode!

Lastly, Donna goes ahead and gives listeners some tips for Black Friday shopping.

What is the BEST gift you ever gave or received on Christmas? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Cat pee on the Pokémon cards Nov 17, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Please disregard the construction zone. Donna is on a mission.

So, first off, you may hear some hammers and carpet ripping in the background. Give that noise no attention because as they say in the pod biz, the show must go on.

Charlotte is sleeping in, Olivia and Zippy will be back soon from college, and there is a lot going on. We’ve got to get the house ready for Thanksgiving and Donna and Caddy talk about the do’s and don’t of the holiday season. Do you take a dish cold or hot? When should you start prepping? All of the things people botch this time of year.

Also, Jelly Roll wins the CMA New Artist of the Year award! 39-year-old. It’s inspiring.

And you know we have another THUGS segment for you. This time, we’re not messing around. Who scams the elderly?!

Favorite Thanksgiving fish: go! Text or call us with yours. 770-464-6024.

General etiquette Nov 14, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Caddy lost his phone. Not that he would’ve texted you back anyways, according to Donna.

Keyboard warriors. We have all known one. But there is one in particular that is really irking Donna over on The Bear 92.5’s Facebook page. You can call her all the names in the world you want…but just don’t call her this one.

Also, Caddy lost his phone. We think we know where it is, but it needs to be tracked down. It reminds Donna of that one time she lost hers at Costco. In the crab claw section. On top of the ice.

And you know we are going to have a Morgan Wallen segment. All that and much, much more on today’s jam packed episode!

Where is the strangest place you have put/lost your phone? Let us know. Call or text 770-464-6024.

Best done in phases Nov 09, 2023

Pop culture. Trends. The CMAs. You know the drill. Here's Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

It's the annual special post- CMA Awards episode. The show was last night and we have fresh takes on the winners, losers and, well, Donna's moles. It'll make sense. We're best done in small phases.

Really though we talk about Morgan Wallen and his (unshocking) result. We touch on Lainey Wilson and her watermelons. Caddy breaks a few copyright laws. Then we bring it on home with the new Ferrari movie and who is on the forever-sexy list. It's a short, quick episode. Want it to last longer? Let us know. 7704646024.

Caddy is working on his confidence Nov 07, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. On today’s show, Caddy has got some stylish new jeans. Be jealous.

But first, he and Donna headed up to Knoxville last weekend to visit Olivia at the University of Tennessee. My, how college has changed. Donna talks about all the things they did with their sophomore daughter and Caddy talks a little bit about her boyfriend, Jack.

Also, Caddy is really upping his wardrobe game and Donna is impressed. If you know anything about Caddy you know that the one thing he is lacking in is confidence (eyeroll) and there is just something about a fresh pair of designer jeans that really makes him shine.

Lastly, Caddy and Donna talk about the upcoming CMA’s and what they are expecting from the show. You don’t want to miss their insight into one of the biggest nights for country music!

Should Morgan Wallen get Entertainer of the Year? If no, who should? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Fusus Shmoosus Nov 02, 2023

Good, cold morning here at Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. It's time to warm up.

First things first, it's time to get rid of the pumpkins. So if you’ve got a rotten flesh ball out in front of the house, you know what to do.

We go from there into a quick hits revival of music news and a tribute from the Bear. Listen up, listen closely, and we'll see you back here Tuesday. You know what to do. 7704646024.

Trim your bush Oct 31, 2023

Welcome to another great episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! What was YOUR worst first date? Honestly, it doesn’t matter. Donna has you beat.

But first, Donna has to take the trash out at her store at Avalon and she has told management several times that they need to trim back the bushes so that people can SEE if someone is hiding over there ready to kill someone. Well, someone actually was (not to kill someone) and it freaked Donna out. But then, there is a twist. Now Donna needs the man she found gunning cigs behind the trash can. Listen to find out why.

There is an article making its way across the internet detailing the most unacceptable first date restaurants. Can you guess who made the top of the list?

Speaking of first dates…Donna shares one of her worst ones, which involved…court ordered community service. I kid you not.

Plus, we wrap with a new Can’t Beat Caddy segment! Follow along to see how you would have done.

Surely you won’t be able to beat Donna’s worst first date. At least, we hope not. Still, we want to hear yours! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Too cool to boot scoot Oct 27, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. We’ve got a tough Dead or Not Dead segment for you so buckle up.

But first, Halloween is right around the corner and for parents of adult children it can be a great time to look back. Remember all those cute costumes we put our toddlers in? And then the silly ones through their teenage years until they thought they were too old to trick-or-treat? Puts a tear in Mama Jack’s eyes.

Thug Report: We’ve got another installment from Coweta County and dear Zacheriah is in some trouble. Charged with meth trafficking, fleeing police and a few others tacked on, he may have been able to avoid it all if he had just…checked to make sure his taillights were working.

Dead or not Dead is a doozy this week but Donna is up for the challenge. Are you?

Have you ever been charged at a restaurant for your child’s poor behavior? If so, we definitely want to hear from you. Text or call 770-464-6024.

What the hell? Oct 24, 2023

Welcome to another edition of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. On today’s episode, Caddy makes it through a movie and Donna does a final final.

As you all know by now, Donna and Caddy are down to one last baby cub in the house. Charlotte just had her last homecoming dance and Donna talked about the emotion of these “final finals” that are happening until Charlotte flies the coop. Homecoming was great – but there were a few hiccups.

Also, Caddy sat through a movie! Like, an entire movie! Well, it was kind of a concert (the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie), but still – a big accomplishment for him. He talks about how it was actually kind of relaxing and brought back a lot of feelings and memories he wasn’t expecting.

Also, there are a bunch of great concerts coming up so make sure to plan your calendars. And we promise we’ll have another segment of Dead or Not Dead very soon.

Are you seeing the Eras Movie? Is it weird seeing a concert in the theatre? Let us know what you think. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Now we're in business Oct 19, 2023

Rise and shine, it's time for Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

The first thing we touch on is the aftermath of Prime Day. If you are a longtime listener of the show, you know the Jack's garage is going to be full. The thing is it turns out it's full of a different kind of material. A marsupial. It turns into another animal control segment and gets a little hairy. Of course Donna turns it into a police officer ranking contest.

From there we go to (another) house of debauchery. A home for fun traded goodies for some racehorses. Then they kept them in the front yard. You'll want to get the whole story.

To fulfill our designation as a very very very very semi tech podcast, we talk about quantum mechanics and machine learning. Just kidding. We stick to our lane and cover Brittany Spears and Justin Timberlake. Catch up and let us know what you think. 7704646024.

I don’t need four peanuts Oct 17, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast, where Donna and Caddy are getting old and the Instacart guy needs to use some common sense.

When you are old, you get cold more. Donna opens the show with some complaints about the downsides of turning 50. Caddy, begrudgingly, has to agree. It’s a b**** getting old.

Speaking of feeling old. Caddy and Donna talk about an old friend they ran into and how life puts a lot of things into perspective the older you get. You remember things differently, you aren’t as quick to anger, and simple things brings peace that they didn’t used to.

We’ve also got some tales from the trail down in Coweta County. Look…we’re not having thuggish behavior down here on the South Side. When are these criminals going to understand this?!

Insta Cart. Love them and hate the, but what would we do without them? The thing is…no one needs 4 jars of peanuts and unfortunately for Donna, this takes some explaining to do. You’ve all been there!

What is one thing you can or can’t do now that you’re old? Text or call 770-464-6024. If you’re young…buzz off.

A different kind of beaver Oct 12, 2023

We're in a hurry and tummy hurting on this very special episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Donna and Cadillac Jack start us off with some safety concerns. Let's just say one thing - security was a bit tighter back in the day. And that's not all.

Donna Jack brings some news back from Dollywood, which is the number one theme park in the United States. Why, you ask? Because the elderly run it. Just bear with us as Donna fills us in.

From there Caddy takes us to Buc-ee's. Spoiler alert: there is not one thing you need in that store. But you will leave with it all. It's a different kind of beaver here on the show.

We also hear an update on Joanna Cotten and a lighter update on folks who are doing some really great work. Know someone similar? Let us know. 7704646024.

ENCORE: Ma’am, your flight was yesterday Oct 10, 2023

This week, we're running it back. Remember when Donna left Caddy at home by himself? Yeah, that was her first mistake, but it made for a heck of a story.

Donna headed out of town to Park City, Utah with Olivia for a little girls getaway trip to ski and snowmobile. They had a great time, but Charlotte was giving mom updates from back home on how things were going and how dad was doing. According to her, he was a little bossy in the morning and he let the cats have at it. You decide how he did.

Then, the flight back happened. Well, at first it didn’t. Donna didn’t just miss the time, she missed the day it was supposed to take off. We all have our airport nightmare story and now Donna has hers. Tune in to find out how she made it home.

We also open up the old mail bag and answer questions from a bunch of our Pod Peeps. We love you guys!

Let’s hear your worst experience at an airport. Let me guess: it happened in Atlanta. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Can you call 9-1-1? Oct 03, 2023

Welcome to another episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act! On today’s show Caddy decorates for Halloween – but he still won’t lift a finger for Christmas. Baby steps.

But first, Donna and Caddy talk about how elaborate and intense this year’s Halloween decorations are. Is this normal? Caddy and Donna don’t think so. Can you imagine being a FedEx or Amazon delivery person and running into a motion activated

Kelsea Ballerini made the cover of TIME magazine recognizing “the 100 emerging leaders from around the world who are shaping the future and defining the next generation of leadership." And man, has she earned it.

Speaking of earning some attention: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continue to make the news. Swift rolled into the Jets/Chiefs game with posse in tow (Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively). Some NFL fans have already had enough, though. Has the saga already gone too far? Caddy and Donna weigh in.

Also, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are divorcing after 4 years of marriage. Celebrity divorces are not uncommon, but this one may be. Something happened on a Ring video camera at the couples house that caused Jonas to throw in the towel. What the heck happened?!

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift: too much or not enough? You weigh in. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Watch us unravel Sep 29, 2023

Happy Friday to our haters. All one of you. This is Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

We start off on a downer today by talking Brittany Spears. Sometimes people's lives should not be fodder and that takes the forefront of this first segment.

Then to fulfill our designation as a semi music podcast we talk Lady A and some new music you should put in your ears right now. Well, after you finish this episode.

We move on to share some brighter stories about the folks who make a real difference. One big category? Teachers.

Let us know who does good in your life. 7704646024.

Caddy Goes Camping Sep 26, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Don’t freak out. But Taylor Swift may be off the market.

But first, Donna is sitting around waiting for Roscoe…to pass a cheeses wrapper. It’s a long story, but he was barking, Donna had some cheese and a squeaker toy, and there is just no stopping Roscoe once he gets his paws on some treats. Stay tuned.

Also, is anyone else being invaded by armies of spiders?!

Speaking of spiders: Caddy went on his camping trip and has a lot to report. Let’s just say Donna isn’t all that impressed.

Lastly, and of course most importantly, unless you have been living under a rock the last few days then you know that the music and professional football worlds collided when news broke that Taylor Swift was in attendance for a Kansas City Chiefs game to see her suitor (boyfriend?) Travis Kelce’s team play the Cleveland Browns. Whoa.

Thoughts on the big news? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Big steaming bowl of Cadillac Jack Sep 21, 2023

We're stretching and elongating today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We have Eric Church tonight in (Awesome) Alpharetta so we'll keep this one brief.

We've got Phil Collins, dripping ice cream and a few new bear hugs. Tune in and then, hopefully, we'll see you at the show. 7704646024.

Some rando jammin’ me Sep 19, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. On today’s show we’ve got country music and football. What more could you want? Well, maybe a B12 shot.

Are you tired? Donna is tired. So much so, in fact, that Donna has started getting B12 shots. Every Friday you can find her at the B12 store across from her store at Avalon in Alpharetta. In the rear please.

In country news this week we found out that Maren Morris is stepping away from country music. All Caddy has to say is…boohoo! She stated that she doesn’t recognize the genre anymore and disagrees with a lot of the messaging that can be found in today’s music. Thoughts? Caddy has a few.

Also, our very own Stetson Bennett is in the news, and we don’t think for anything good – but we don’t know. The Los Angeles Rams placed him on the Non-Football Injury list and Coach Sean McVay says that “some things are bigger than football.” We hope he will be OK.

Have you or can you self-administer a shot? We want to know. How do you do it?! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Tummy trouble Sep 14, 2023

Let's gut rumbly and tumbly and weak as a kitten on this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Donna Jack is feeling upset and it's not just because she attended her last curriculum night. Cadillac is unwell himself but more due to slurping in the microphone. We're not worried about it.

We move from an update on classes and parenting with college-aged children (talk about housing issues) and settle into Caddy learning how to do life. That's right, we are talking therapy and un-coddling yourself.

In order to fulfill our designation as a semi music podcast we talk awards. In country music that means we're talking Lainey Wilson. She has some new nominations and audio problems at Billy Bob's. As always Caddy finds a way to bring in the bullhorn. Can you hear me now? Let us know. 7704646024.

Story Time Sep 12, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! On today’s show, Zach Bryan thinks he’s a big man and Coco Gauff wins the U.S. Open.

But first, Donna has an update for us on her “Everesting.” As you may remember, she is working on her plan to hike mountains and recently went to a seminar of sorts to plan and get some questions answered. Some folks in attendance reminded her – the time is now. It’s good advice in general! If you have something you’ve been wanting to do or accomplish, get started…today!

Atlanta’s own Coco Gauff won the U.S. Open over the weekend in New York City and one of the cooler parts about the entire episode was seeing the reactions from her dad, his pride in her, and the emotions on his face. It got us to talking about emotions generally, and how men handle them – specifically crying.

Also, country music up-and-comer Zach Bryan was arrested in Oklahoma and it did not go well. Audio of the event made the news and it showed that Zach things he’s hot you know what – and he trated the arresting officer with something far less than respect. Caddy has some advice for everyone out there – respect the blue.

Have you ever seen your husband/father cry? If so, what for? Let us know by calling or texting 770-464-6024.

Happy Labor Day Week Sep 05, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! On today’s show the Jacks are still off for Labor Day Week. Aren’t you?

Caddy finds a little time away from his not laboring to check in with you and leave you with a golden nugget from a prior episode we get to relive together.

On Thursday’s episode we will talk about the passing of legendary entertainer and entrepreneur Jimmy Buffett. Be sure to tune in.

Have in memories inspired by Buffett’s music? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Sooner we start the sooner we finish Aug 31, 2023

Can you hear me? We're on the run here today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. To kick off our new tradition, Donna starts by pointing out the irony in Caddy's life. Then she 'pivots' to an article about Atlanta magazine that has been blowing up in the media world. It's a good conversation about different types of journalism and what it means if people are recording your conversations. Sort of. Seriously though, it's an interesting conversation.

Then it's game time in the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act nation. We review some recent scores of a Caddy loss and talk Bob Barker. Too soon? Let us know. 7704646024.

You can kiss your beaver Aug 29, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast! On the show today, Donna finally reveals what happened to her red slider turtles.

Keep your red slider turtles out of your kitchens, folks! The CDC put out a warning about a possible salmonella outbreak and warned that kissing certain animals…on the mouth…is probably a bad idea. Granted, you shouldn’t need a CDC warning to know that, but we digress.

Sad news over the weekend as legendary TV gameshow host Bob Barker passed away at 99. What do you remember most about the man and his iconic gameshow? Barker’s beauties? The long microphone? Or maybe his attention to the importance of spaying or neutering your pets? Caddy and Donna discuss.

Also, it’s almost football season (Go Dawgs). Donna ran across a poll that incorporates both our love for football and the genre for which this podcast is dedicated: music. A collection of college football coaches were asked who their favorite artists were and we share the results.

Have you ever owned a red slider turtle? If so, what did you eh, do with it? Asking for a friend. Call or text 770-464-6024.

Doing my time in Alabama Aug 25, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Caddy and Donna talk about their increasingly empty house and dealing with the (nearly) empty nest blues.

If you have ever had a kid go off to college you know the hole they leave in your house and the quiet that follows it. You’re half expecting them to walk through the front door after school…but they don’t. Donna and Caddy talk about dealing with that feeling and what they are doing about it with 2 of 3 out the door and the last one not far behind.

Speaking of college – it’s a big new world for freshmen filled with new responsibilities, opportunities and challenges. Caddy and Donna talk about their own struggles, but also how the landscape for young adults and what they face when they leave home has changed so much since they were kids.

Have your own empty nest story and want to share it? Call or text 770-464-6024 and tell us all about it.

Whose bedrails are in your mouth?! Aug 22, 2023

Welcome back to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! It’s time for Donna to fess up about her addiction to PB&J Snack Duos.

So, Donna has had a mild obsession with these tasty morsels from Trader Joe’s called PB&J Snack Duos. She thought she may have put them in her past, but she was wrong. Her birthday was last week and someone dropped off an entire crate of them for her. The struggle is real.

Donna also has some thoughts on college rush these days. In short: it’s out of control. From these crazy TikTok videos, to the booty shorts, it’s jus too much. Did you know your daughter (and you) can even hire a “rush consultant”?! It’s true. Not like it was back in the day when Donna…well, nevermind.

We wrap the how with an interview Caddy did with the Funniest Man in America – Mr. James Gregory! It’s a belly of laughs and you won’t want to miss it.

Have a favorite snack you just can’t get enough of? Let us know. Call or text 770-464-6024 and tell us all about it.

Hairless Morgan Wallen Aug 16, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Sorry we’re late, but when Queen Bee is in town…you pay your respects.

Donna’s air conditioning is out. Again. This time, she has found a culprit, but it has been a long, hot summer and it makes Donna a little bit grouchy.

School is back and session and the Jacks are down to one child in the house. It’s been emotional. Caddy and Donna talk about that slow, inevitable transition and how kids handle the transition differently.

Lastly, you may have heard that Morgan Wallen shaved his head and mustache. What you may not have heard is why. Donna has the exclusive inside scoop. Also, she’s not a fan. Bring back the flow, Morgan!

Drop us a line! We would love to hear from you. Call or text 770-464-6024.

Sand in my boots Aug 10, 2023

Great day to be alive here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

We are back and better than ever after a tumultuous week of shows. To celebrate, Cadillac and Donna Jack are preparing for three nonstop days of Beyonce in Atlanta. Donna may even get a ticket on the way there. Who knows. We cover thee best Baes and prep for the show. After that the Jacks talk about living life and how that changes as time goes on. Donna says the most important part is the last 10% of what you do, of everything. It's at least where you have the most control. So make the most of what you can! Listen to all that and try to kind the kitty cat. Last but certainly not least:

Paging all the single ladies (who were at Taylor Swift but may still be at the Mercedes-Benz MARTA station) - just swipe your breeze card and get on. Then let us know what you think. 7704646024.

Sticky content Aug 08, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Garth Brooks finally weighs in on the Jason Aldean controversy and Taylor Swift makes dreams come true.

But first, Donna point out that she and Caddy have now been doing the podcast together for almost 4 years (!) and are working together on radio now. She asks Caddy what he has learned about her in this very professional environment. Careful Caddy. Tread very carefully.

Caddy gets into the Jason Aldean controversy and let’s just say Caddy doesn’t have much patience for the haters. Tim McGraw, on the other hand, has been noticeably absent from the controversy…until now. Hear what he has to say about the song that is now at the top of the Hot 100 Billboard chart.

Also, Caddy gives listeners some insight into the drama behind radio shows brining talent on air for an interview. What can hosts ask? What can’t they ask? Did Caddy ever follow the rules? Well, you know the answer to the last question, but it’s an intriguing peak behind the curtain.

Lastly, Taylor Swift made news when it was revealed she gifted employees of her record breaking Eras Tour huge bonus checks. For some, it was as much as $100,000 – life changing money. Caddy talks about his history with Swift and how none of this comes as a surprise to him.

What would you do with an extra $100,000?! Let us know by texting or calling 770-464-6024.

Who threw a bat at Cadillac Jack? Aug 03, 2023

Dog Days of Summer here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

Can you feel the love in the studio today? You should, because Cadillac and donna Jack are finally back together. The show kicks off with the reason for reunification.

From there we fulfill our obligation as a semi music podcast with some viral news about Cardi B. We talk about what she and Cody Johnson (?) have in common.

Then we touch on some Republican pancakes and a bit of honky tonk headlines to round up the show.

Got waterbottles? Aim for us. 7704646024.

I can juggle some balls Aug 01, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Cady and Donna are in studio together, so you know it’s going to be a good show.

There have been a lot of bad storms in the area and there is a tree down at the Caddy household creating some…technical issues. Primarily Donna cannot use the Amazon machine, but that’s just fine with Caddy.

Did you all see the news about Cardi B? She was performing recently when a disgruntled fan threw a drink at her. Well, Cardi was having none of that and threw her microphone right back. What is with people lately disrespecting artists like that?

Also, Caddy is being recruited. By the Army. To do Army things. You all know Caddy hasn’t done a pushup since 5th grade field day, so this may not end well.

Reach out to us! Text or call 770-464-6024 and let us know how we’re doing.

Not dead yet Jul 27, 2023

We're still alive here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Alive and flush with cash for online shopping. Caddy just needs to make sure they get thee address right.

In the interest of getting moved in, Donna Jack has some advice for Caddy and the cats. Just try and catch them mid stream. We also make a quick turn to that time we all had to go do child play therapy in North Druid Hills, which is interestingly where one of our EPs now lives. What do you make of that?

In all seriousness we do talk about the situation in Hoover, Alabama. It's a heart-wrenching and frustrating series of events that leaves us with some questions. Would you have pressed charges? Should the public safety officials collect reimbursements? It's alarming, and we have some thoughts.

And in the opposite direction, we have some fun playing Dead or Not Dead. Tune in and play along. Especially you, Bon Jovi. You can give us a call while you're on the boat. 7704646024.

I’m Donna and I can do it Jul 25, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act Podcast! On today’s show, Donna is going mountain climbing, and Caddy is…not.

So, Donna opens the show talking about her new goal of climbing mountains. Literally. She is going to find a nice comfortable pair of hiking boots, hit a rave, and then climb the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest. Caddy wishes her the best of luck.

Donna went and saw the new Barbie movie with some girlfriends, pink cowboy hat and all. The movie is breaking all sorts of box office records and she and Caddy discuss the craze and their thoughts on the reactions the movie has received.

Caddy ran across a poll that showed that 24% of young adults think the institution of marriage is outdated. Is that number high? Low? Find out what Caddy and Donna think. Text or call 770-464-6024 and let us know.

Keyboard Cowboys Jul 20, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. On today’s episode, Caddy lists the things he would rather have done than be on a particular flight full of Swifties.

But first, Donna went to see her dad Charlie’s final resting place on Fripp Island. It was something she was glad to do with daughter Charlotte, but the real story here is what she did on the way back. She went by the Murdoch estate. You know, just for giggles.

Delta was already not having a great day when one of their planes got stuck on the tarmac and started boiling its passengers alive. Things got worse though, when one of its social media managers tweeted “what rhymes with Delta?” Well, the passengers on said stuck plane responded, and they weren’t happy.

Speaking of miserable experiences on a plane: there is a viral video out there featuring a bunch of Swifties after attending one of the Eras Tour concerts. In said video the concert goers get on the plane intercom and singing all the hits. Some passengers, I’m sure, loved it. Most did not. Caddy would have been one of the later. He details the things he would rather do or have done than be on that Southwest flight.

You tell us. What would rather do than be on that flight? Or maybe you are one of those weirdos who would have loved it. Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Houston, we have a problem Jul 18, 2023

Put out your pole and get ready for episode 93,000 of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

It's a late night, forgetful show here in the studio, and we say that lovingly. The reason? Donna is out of air conditioning. Houston we have a problem.

We kick things off with a story about a man losing his hair piece. Enough said. Then we step into Joe Jonas and a bit of other brown note music news. Tune in and tune out. You know the drill. 7704646024.

RIP Richard the Beaver Jul 13, 2023

We're back in the kitchen here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast and let me tell you, we brought the heat. (No really, Donna's mic is a little hot)

In all seriousness it's a great episode of the Act as Caddy and Donna Jack dive into all your favorite topics.

First up we have birthdays and Amazon purchases. Caddy claims he has never used the Mom and Pop store while Donna wants to know who is tracking their cats. Then we move onto a memorial service for Richard the Beaver which is, honestly, just heartbreaking. Big boy go bye bye.

From there we hit the Merle Haggard sex-picade storyline. How could we not? The country artist spent a few days and many nights holed up by the lake with a companion. So, yeah, we have some ideas.

We round out the show with moles and sales figures. It'll make you sick. Call us like the family we are. 7704646024.

Caddy needs a technology class. Just one. Jul 11, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Don’t listen to this on speaker phone. But do listen to it.

As Donna explains, one of her pet peeves is when people talk on speaker phone out in public as if no one in the world is around. Like, hello?! I’m standing here! Caddy agrees. It’s rude people.

At long last, it’s time for the big reveal. Caddy and Donna reveal who they would pick to be on their Mount Rushmore of country music. A few of their picks may surprise you…

Donna poses the question to Caddy: if you could inject one skill into your body, what would it be? Piano? Fluent in another language? No, no. Caddy has something far more useful he’d like to

What super skill would you pick? Let us know! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Up and down, east to west Jul 06, 2023

It's a great afternoon here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We're still recovering from the Fourth of July and have a few firey things to say. Strap in and tune out. I think.

It's been a weird week for sure. Some people had the whole week off, some people worked every hour. We here on the show were on the clock the whole time. Donna hasn't stopped moving since last Thursday and has the oatmeal to show for it. Cadillac Jack completed the Peachtree Road Race for the first time, and set a record while doing it. Just not exactly the record direction you're thinking.

We talk controversy in Country Music and intro the MLB All Star game, where Caddy thinks the Atlanta Braves should run the show. And Donna brings up the very important topic of loneliness and its affect on today's health crisis. Have a thought for it? Let us know. 7704646024.

Happy Birthday America! Jul 04, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast and happy 246th birthday America.

Caddy opens the show by readying a beautiful essay about the holiday and what it means to so many people across this great country of ours. Take a minute to enjoy family and the simple things in life, like ice in your lemonade. We’ve got it good here in the good old U. S. of A and don’t every forget it!

Brandon Hutchinson, the Vice President and General Manager of Atlanta Motor Speedway joins the show to talk racing and to take on Caddy in an epic showdown of Can’t Beat Caddy. Find out who comes out on top.

Last fall, America lost one of its greatest patriots in Mr. Al, who we have talked about many times on this show. We are re-airing a bit of advice he had for our listeners shortly after his 100th birthday. We love and miss you Mr. Al!

What are you up to on this 4th of July? Send us your pictures! We’d love to see them. 770-464-6024.

Leave John Mayer alone! Jun 27, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! We have got Taylor Swift updates for all you Swifties out there.

But first, Donna opens the show by talking about people, much like Caddy, who have rediscovered their calling and often times, their second act. Inspired by a podcast she was turned onto, Donna talks about people who get to age 50 or so and realize how much more they have to offer.

Caddy has known Thomas Rhett since he was in diapers. He, his wife Lauren, and their kids are a great family. Recently, on an episode of her podcast, Lauren talks with Thomas about her postpartum depression and ways she dealt with anxiety and Thomas on tour. It’s a great conversation for any spouse who is the homemaker and whose partner travels for their job.

The Eras Tour is alive and well in Taylor Swift land, but not without some caution. Saturday night in Minneapolis she played a song on stage that she had not played live in 11 years about her relationship with John Mayer. She warned her fanatics…leave him alone – she is fine!

Also, John Daly at Kenny Chesney concert. What could go wrong? Recently, the legend that is Daly rolled up to a Chesney concert in his golf cart and parked his ass right next to the stage. Didn’t leave. No one said a thing. Legend.

Who would be on your country music Mount Rushmore? Let us know. We’ll discuss and talk about some of your submissions on Thursday’s episode. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Where she going, who she with? Jun 22, 2023

It's CNA week and we're hugging nurses. In a very fun way. Seriously though we want to start off the show by thanking all our nurses for everything they do.

Caddy and Donna Jack don't tear up too much, though, before spinning the old track. And by that we mean talking sweaty pits and chafing.

We also touch on the Titanic submersible and Tug's tickle pickle. Well, we wish on that last one. Don't you? 7704646024.

Caddy Jack Month Jun 20, 2023

Donna doesn’t have time for that. Shopping, that is. So she’s been getting a lot of Amazon packages. Some of them went to her neighbor and it gave Caddy the opportunity to find out what her name is.

Happy belated Father’s Day! We get into Caddy’s big Father’s Day dinner and…Donna’s driving habits. We may have avoided a disaster and Charlotte is scarred for life.

Juneteenth. Caddy has jokes.

Is your spouse a bad driver? Or is it just Donna? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

YOLO and FOMO Jun 15, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! On today’s show, we remeneiss about birthdays of old as Caddy hits the big 5-0.

But first, everyone is in Italy! It seems like everyone and their brother has been to Italy this year. It’s the new 30A. Maybe it’s the post-pandemic mentality, but everyone seems to be traveling internationally, and specifically the Italian peninsula.

Next up, we recap a little bit of Caddy’s big birthday dinner at Bones in Atlanta. If you’ve never been there…it’s expensive. Like $800 expensive. Caddy would not recommend the wagyu steak.

It got us to thinking though: If you could recreate a birthday party from the past, what would it be? This is actually a thing now. People go through old video or pictures and recreate birthdays from when they were 10, 20, 30 years old. It’s a big trend on – you guessed it – TikTok.

What birthday of yours would you love to recreate and why? Text or call 770-464-6024 and let us know.

Donna Jack, long haul trucker Jun 13, 2023

It's a great day to be alive here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. To celebrate that fact, Donna and Caddy raise the roof. Or at least break the ceiling. Set the glass floor? Something like that.

We were all seperated last week for Caddy's birthday, so the first part of the show is us getting back up to speed. The problem is at this point in life remembering the days can get kind of… hazy. Try and stick with us. If you get lost, hop on the nearest tollroad and let us know. 7704646024.

Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, Cadillac Jack Jun 06, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Larry the Cable Guy joins to play Can’t Beat Caddy.

But first, Donna is feeling a little sore. She says…it may have something to do with not taking home that little pink slip. You know, the one that little kids take home that tells their parents that they’d tested positive for scoliosis. Well, Donna threw hers away.

When you get a call from Rick Ross to join him at his VIP pool party after his VIP car show, you go. And that’s exactly what Caddy did. His phone “died” at the event though, so there is no photo evidence of…anything.

Larry the Cable Guy joins the pod! He takes on Caddy in Can’t Beat Caddy and it’s a real nail biter. Stick around until the end to find out who won.

Who are you hanging out with at the VIP party? Rick Ross or Gucci Mane? We know our answer. What’s yours? Text or call 770-464-6024.

A lively drink Jun 01, 2023

This show originally had seven minutes of dead air. We made an executive decision to cut that space, in light of a lively drink. Lord knows we need it.

Donna and Cadillac Jack dig up some old tough memories as they get ready to celebrate Wil's birthday. The Jacks would - and have - done anything for the guy and fought to make it happen. If you've been following along, you know that means Caddy's Big Day is coming up too. Let me cry, love and leave this with you now: it's a big one. Can someone say "a low meter for bull?"

We also talk AI and preview the Show from the Road next week at North Carolina State University. Stay tuned.

Do you know the word we're trying to think of? It's not discharge. Let us know. 7704646024.

Don’t come for me unless I call for you May 30, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. On the show today Donna tries to sell furniture on Facebook Marketplace and…it doesn’t go well.

But first, Donna and the girls went to see Ed Sheeran in concert where he set the attendance record at Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta. Yes, he beat Taylor Swift somehow. Unfortunately for Donna, she ran into a little bit of trouble with the police on the way back to Milton, but don’t worry, she had the last laugh.

So, Donna has never tried to sell anything on Facebook Marketplace before, but she also had an old China cabinet she needed to get rid of, so why not? She listed the furniture at the unbelievable price of $50 and prepared to take bidders. Well, she got bidders. Just no buyers.

Had a similar experience trying to sell junk? Let us know. Call or text 770-464-6024.

Never fight forest fires May 25, 2023

Welcome to flight school on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Lets take off.

We're about to step next door to grab a pizza and talk about our proudest moments from school. Cadillac and Donna Jack get a few minutes into the stories before the sirens arrive. We just have one question - is he dead or alive?

Couple show and radio notes to clear up as well. The parking lot party was this weekend, Caddy books Donna for an event to get her back from the mattresses and we reminisce on some remotes with Rhubarb.

The Jacks also offer some life updates and both get a little teary-eyed doing so. Take a listen, but do it with some spunk. Then call us and we'll ball together. 7704646024.

3 pounds in the trunk May 23, 2023

It’s getting hot over here on The Cadillac Jack My Second Act podcast. The weather. The weather is getting hot.

Donna talks about her experience as a mom during summertime and the onslaught of boredom all you moms out there are about to be challenged with…from your kids. We all have big plans for the summer that just never end up panning out. Just go with it.

Apparently, Americans are getting pretty high at work. Like, to record highs. Pun intended. What gives? Was it the pandemic? Changes to state laws? Public perception? We don’t know, but we’d encourage you to take up a job in creative circles if you choose to partake.

How could the Weinermobile be called anything else? Well, apparently it can, as Oscar Meyer has announced that going forward it will be called the Frank Mobile. That’s…dumb.

Thank you to everyone we saw at the Red, White and Blue Parking Lot Party at Gallery Furniture! It was so good to see and catch up with so many of you and we hope you keep in touch throughout the year.

Have any recommendations for the Hype Song Playlist? Text or call 770-464-6024.

Get your pickle May 18, 2023

Donna, Cadillac Jack and I (er, is it me?) bring the heat and the brine for this episode of My Second Act.

After months of hunting, one Jack has gotten their pickle. Donna found a partner for pickleball and they're headed to the kitchen. She fills in Caddy on the rules and previews her new teammate for the beginning of this show.

We touch on some music news before getting to the good stuff. Cadillac Jack also wants you to reach out. We are all going through different struggles and you would be surprised about how much overlap there can be with others. Well, we want to talk to you about it. Text or call 7704646024. (You can also text Caddy's third private cell, but you'll have to listen to hear that one.)

"I think a lot of it’s on you." May 18, 2023

Kitty Cats and Comforters May 11, 2023

It's graduation week here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. We have officially been dismissed and invited back for next year, which is more than you can say for one of the Jacks.

Donna kicks us off by talking modern dorm rooms and how different they are from the early 2000's when she was in school. Caddy reminisces on the weeks he spent on campus himself and how that contributes to his toolbelt today. Stay tuned for part 2 - how to lift a bed.

It's the supersize Country Music News edition of the show. It feels like everything aand all the news happened all at once. We do our best to cover it all, from Garth Brooks to Morgan Wallen to… Robert DeNiro? Don't worry - we'll get to it in a minute.

Whaaat did we miss? Wheeze at us through the phone - 7704646024.

The dingo ate my baby May 09, 2023

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! You knew we would have some thoughts on the King’s coronation.

But first, Donna has a story about a Olivia dropping off her Life 360 radar. You know, the app she uses to track her children’s every movement (Caddy still refuses to participate). All is well, but the experience sure made for some high anxiety.

After another mass shooting in Texas, Donna and Caddy talk about the state of gun violence in the country, what is going on, and the potential reflection it is on the state of the country’s mental health. Donna does have a silver lining to offer listeners, though.

All hail King Charles! King Charles was coronated over the weekend and Donna discuss the pomp and circumstance. Can someone please get Katy Perry a seat?!

Do you track your family using Life 360 or something similar? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

3/4s of a show May 04, 2023

For three quarters of an episode, you only get one quarter of show notes. Here's Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast, this time with a live studio audience.

Just take a listen. If you sneeze, you'll miss it. 7704646024.

It reeked of the 420 May 02, 2023

Welcome back to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! After a week (or two?) out of your pod streams, we’re back and better than ever.

Well, some of that is in part by luck. Donna almost got her car stolen and it now has a very…pungent smell, but other than that, we’re fine! It has just been incredibly busy over at the Jack household. Thank you to everyone who reached out though to check in on us.

We have got a jam packed episode for you to catch you up on all the latest since we’ve been gone, including the record breaking Taylor Swift concerts in Atlanta, the NFL Draft and the landing place for future Super Bowl champion and reigning back-to-back college football national champion Stetson Bennett.

Fill us in! If there is anything we missed that you think we just have to know please reach out to us. We’d love to hear from you! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Catfished by cleaners Apr 20, 2023

It's a short sweet and slow morning episode of the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Must be something in the air.

Cadillac and Donna Jack come in hot for this festive episode of the show. Donna brings the heat when it comes to laundry, parenting and app-driven contract services. Then there aare allegations of people catfishing others over a a few black (trash) bags of clothes. We just want to know - how do we seem to attract this kind of thing?

Then we talk about ongoing country music tours. Fear not- we only mention Taylor Swift and the Eras tour a little. Free tickets every morning next week though…

Let's do some crazy stuff. Ideas? Let us know. 7704646024.

I really don’t like people in general Apr 18, 2023

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, we’ve got some omissions and updates. And one or two apologies. OK, maybe just one.

But first, daughter Charlotte had prom this weekend and Donna recounts the event. Where does the time go?! How is it that Baby Char Char is attending PROM? Sigh.

So, we hear you! We know we owe you a few updates on recent pod topics and we also have some clarifications to make. We’ll dive into some details about Caddy’s new job tech issues we are sorry about. OK, Donna is sorry about.

Also, just know, if you come to roll the Jack’s house, Roscoe will be on alert. Also, we don’t have many trees. Also, we’ve already been rolled. So maybe just stay away? Thanks.

Big new details about Donna’s big debut on the RADIO with Caddy as they embark on a new journey and their first co-hosted morning show. You won’t want to miss this update and you WILL want to be sure to download the The Bear 92.5 app wherever you download your apps.

Have some great ideas we could incorporate into the show? Just want to say hi? Drop us a line! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Low energy. High T. Apr 13, 2023

It's time for a 'kitchen sink' episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Er, I mean a 'kitchen table' show.

Cadillac and Donna Jack head to the home office for a quick session. Why, you ask? Well the house is under attack and Junior-Senior Wars is underway. The audio quality is not our best but by now we know we'll all support eachother no matter what. Unless you smack gushers into the microphone. In which case there will be an unpleasant and foul easter egg left in next week's episode. Don't call us.

If you're listening on upload day then Taylor Swift is in Tampa this weekend for her Eros tour. We preview the concerts no one is going to and talk about the benefits of keeping relationships on the down low. How much time do we have?

So grab a snack and join us at the table. Then give us a ring and smack into the phone. 7704646024.

T-shirts and edible panties Apr 11, 2023

They’re backkk. After a short vacation break, Caddy and Donna are back with a new episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast.

First, Donna explains where they were last week. They were just busy, folks, but we appreciate everyone who reached out to ask about them! Donna had back-to-back luxury vacations and Caddy had to work. What’s wrong with that picture?!

On spring break, Donna went to Disney with Charlotte and Olivia, and let’s just say Donna could now teach a MasterClass on how to maximize a Disney vacation. She has the low down on the tickets, the rides, the fast passes - you name it. If you need help, she’s your woman. For $25. Bring a friend.

She also has some thoughts on Jesus and Easter. You’re just going to have to listen to find out what they are.

And of course, a recap of The Masters. Tiger Woods was hobbled. LIV players reign supreme. And there is some funky something going around that according to Caddy, Donna once had, too.

We will connect again on the Thursday pod when we’ll give our thoughts on the reports that T-Swift is back on the market!

Disney experiences: worst and best. We want to hear. Text or call 770-464-6024 with your stories.

Encore: Turning left on red. Mar 28, 2023

On today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act, we’re going to the wayback machine: back to Episode 2, when Donna shocked the world with her thoughts about turning left on red. Enjoy!

Kristian Bush of Sugarland and Dark Water fame gives the memorable introduction to his friend Caddy. If you still haven’t, you should definitely go show him some love and follow him on Instagram and Twitter @kristianbush.

It’s a throwback to when Caddy reveals his New Year’s Eve crew, Donna talks about her bad driving habit (we do not recommend it), and the social media phenomena that Caddy can’t get enough of. Of course, we include a mailbag question from a listener and much more!

Cadillac Jack. New show, same ride. Enjoy!

Leave a message for the pod by calling 770-464-6024. We might play it on a future episode!

Please rate and review the show! It helps other people find us.

Listen to this on a boat Mar 23, 2023

On today's episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act, we take a trip over to Spotify Studios to talk with Joe Rogan. Err, to talk about Joe Rogan.

Luke Combs was recently on the Joe Rogan Experience, the number two most popular podcast in the United States. Caddy and Donna cover the show and some of the country music star's choice words. We even throw Joe a bone.

Have you ever done anything like a wrong name on a birthday cake? Or the wrong age? Well, we have. Here's a pro tip - "just stay off him. You'll question your marriage." If you're OK with living with this, then that's your problem. And we do touch a bit about dual-parent households and the possible traits of kids that come up in them.

Thanks for tuning in to number one. Feeling combative? Let us know. 7704646024.

Ma’am, your flight was yesterday Mar 21, 2023

This week on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Donna leaves Caddy at home by himself. That was her first mistake.

As we mentioned on the last episode, Donna headed out of town to Park City, Utah with Olivia for a little girls getaway trip to ski and snowmobile. They had a great time, but Charlotte was giving mom updates from back home on how things were going and how dad was doing. According to her, he was a little bossy in the morning and he let the cats have at it. You decide how he did.

Then, the flight back happened. Well, at first it didn’t. Donna didn’t just miss the time, she missed the day it was supposed to take off. We all have our airport nightmare story and now Donna has hers. Tune in to find out how she made it home.

We also open up the old mail bag and answer questions from a bunch of our Pod Peeps. We love you guys!

Let’s hear your worst experience at an airport. Let me guess: it happened in Atlanta. Text or call 770-464-6024.

A good time not a long time Mar 16, 2023

All you need to know about this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is that there are two versions. One with the F word and one without. Well, that and Donna is a going hunting. It's a super short episode but leaves a lasting impression. Disagree? Send us your receipts. 7704646024.

Boogie nights with Mr. T Mar 14, 2023

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna discuss their body counts. Well, Donna does. Caddy ain’t playing that game.

But first, Donna recounts a rather interesting (and gross) trip she had to the nail salon. The man next to her had some nasty toes. Like, dude you probably need to go see a podiatrist. Caddy’s feet are sensitive, but at least he keeps them pretty.

Also, how much would you spend to keep the family pet alive? We all know about poor Roscoe and when Caddy ran over him – twice – but Donna has a friend who’s family pet required some trips to UGA and a blood transfusion. For their pet goat. It couldn’t have been cheap.

Some of our listeners have also been asking for some updates on some running show topics, and we aim to please. So, on today’s show you will get two: one on Nana and another on Donna’s rowing machine.

Perhaps most importantly, Caddy reveals details on his THIRD act! Don’t worry, the podcast isn’t going anywhere, but you’ll get the scoop on his latest venture and what he’ll be up to.

Have you ever heard the term “body count” and know what it means? Caddy and Donna want to know. Text or call 770-464-6024. And if you want to reveal yours…by all means, be our guest.

Words hurt Mar 09, 2023

Today's episode means we're one day closer to Spring Break on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Donna is prepping for her ski trip and Caddy really wants to get the dates right. Can someone say open house?

Then it's time for Chris Rock to return to the guy we know. You know, the one at the end of the block? Broadcast live from Baltimore, the new Netflix special "selective outrage" celebrates The Slap Heard Round The World from last year's Oscars. Everything you need to know on the mid-roll segment.

We have quick musical hits for the Hype Song portion of the show before moving onto a little nugget. Can someone say My Third Act? Don't sleep on the end of the episode. But if you do, call us and we'll fill you in. 7704646024.

Hear ye, hear ye! Mar 07, 2023

On today’s episode of The Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Donna recaps the Alex Murdaugh murder conviction and Caddy finds love for Morgan Wallen.

But first, Donna loves Easter candy. Caddy loves all candy, anytime. Donna was shopping the other day, and saw some really wacky candy though, and was about to raise cane about when, with the help of a store attendant, realized…it’s not that big a deal. Live moves on.

But not for Alex Murdaugh. The highly televised murder trial concluded last week with the conviction of Alex Murdaugh for the murders of his wife and son. Caddy has – surprisingly – not been tuned in, but Donna has all the details for you. She explains what happened, who all the members of the family are and their history in low country South Carolina. And, of course, what she thinks of the verdict.

Also, it’s Morgan Wallen time. Strap in. He just dropped his new 36 song album and it is breaking all sorts of records. It is chalk full of heartache, personal flaws, addiction, drinking…you name it. This album has it all. It’s also a banger. So, now Donna and Caddy have a bit of crow to eat.

Alright, guilty or not guilty? Did you tune in to the Murdoch trials more than Caddy? Let us know what you thought of the whole ordeal. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Uber Black to the Tabernacle Mar 02, 2023

We want you to rate this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act five stars. Just not the podcast. And about four minutes thirty seconds in.

Do you part your hair to the side? Are there emojis you don't recognize? Are there words like emoji you don't know? This may be the show for you. Donna brings a few tips to the Kids Corner, explaining some of the newest lessons (and words) she's learned on the street. It's a quick show because Donna's got places to be. It's called the Ruth's Chris bar and an Uber Black to the Tabernacle. And we do not mean the church.

We also talk about Dierks Bentley's new album, a bit of Kenny Chesney and his love letters to older women. Gotta love Country Music. From there we go into our radio voices and talk dirty. It is exactly what it sounds like. Now put down the headphones and go find Jesus. Tell him we sent you. 7704646024.

Cigarettes or candy Feb 28, 2023

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy has a new phone number. You only need it though if you can’t get in touch with your attorney.

More on that in a bit.

First, Donna has found a new Netflix show she’d like to recommend. If you are into documentaries, especially sports documentaries, she highly recommends the new golf profile, Full Swing. It gives viewers a behind the scenes look at the PGA Tour and the lives of some of its brightest stars. If you’re not into that sort of thing, but good looking men in tight white pants is, you’ll still want to check it out.

So, Caddy missed a call form the Carroll County Jail. They didn’t leave a number, and as far as he knows, Caddy doesn’t know anyone who’s been booked (recently). Somehow, this led Caddy to getting one of those numbers that inmates can use to call collect, to which Donna just shakes her head. So, if you are listening to this episode and you’re the one who called – try him back!

Kelsea Ballerini gave quite the interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast last week. In it, she gave listeners some very personal details about her messy divorce with Morgan Evans. Donna breaks down what was said, why she thinks it was said, and why now.

Seriously. If you were the person who called from Carroll County Jail give us a buzz. 770-464-6024.

At war with Ticket Master Feb 23, 2023

It's a speedy episode today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. For those listeners who partake on 1.5x speed, you're going to want to turn the volume down.

First and foremost, Donna is in a fight with her HOA president. The Jacks are having some concrete poured, which is the most boring and grimacing way to spend a couple (lot of) racks. Down with Mark! Not that he'll be named.

Then Cadillac Jack is crossing things off his bucket list and doing items for the first time in his life. Which is rare. But yes, in this case we are talking about Judd pay-to-play.

We also talk about Winona and share some audio from a show. Donna thinks she looks good. Caddy says she sounds like Tammy took a ride. Just take a listen and decide for yourself.

To end on a production note, I (EP Carl Appen) wanted to share a few Alt Titles directly to you. They're down below. Think we picked the right one? Let us know. 7704646024.

Tease and plinkos

Get the dead animal

Man of the house

Spanish for one moment

There was no experience

"Are you litigious?"

Two pigs wrestling in slop Feb 21, 2023

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Donna knows she’s not supposed to look, but she just can’t help it.

This weekend, Donna tagged along with Charlotte to play the role of “wrestling mom” at the state championship in Macon. Now, Donna has played a lot of mom roles, but wrestling was not one she’d checked off the list until now. It’s a very violent sport. And the uniforms are very revealing.

In more serious news, Kyle Jacobs, a country music songwriter and husband to Kellie Pickler, died by apparent suicide this weekend at the couple’s home in Nashville. Kellie was in the house when it happened. Donna and Caddy talk once more about the overwhelming state of our country’s mental health crisis and the state of mind someone must be in to make a choice like Kyle did. Please take a moment to check on a loved one and help a stranger. You never know what it might mean to them.

We’d love to hear from more of our fans! Have a funny story you want us to share on air, or maybe an experience you don’t think we’ll believe? Text or call 770-464-6024.

All Cadillacs go to hell Feb 16, 2023

It's always a great day when we get the "E" flag before opening credits finish on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

The first segment is all about…. personal growth. Which is a kind way to refer to well, you know. If you're not comfortable with someone's attention, move down the hall. Donna and Wil (who is either 23 or 28) spent some time with Donna's mom moving to a new room. It ended up with Donna promising to watch a fantastic Christmas movie with a stranger. Or at least half of a fantastic Christmas movie.

Then we move to Bill Maher. If you missed it, he unloaded on men, live on HBO. Let's just say we agree on what folks really need from their phones.

From there we fulfill our obligation to our designation as a semi-music podcast. We're all just Southern boys and girls. (Production note: Donna. Chandler says she needs to talk to you after this one. )

Hey Rick. If you're reading this, send us those pictures. 7704646024.

Was she on the edibles? Feb 14, 2023

It’s Valentine’s Day on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast and love is in the air. Well, something is in the air.

First up though, Donna wants to thank all the Pod Peeps for coming to her defense and supporting her theory that dogs can learn sign language. Caddy has come to terms with it and Roscoe is making progress. Well, sort of. Hear how Roscoe may be feeling a bit overwhelmed.

And, speaking of Roscoe, Caddy has some cleaning up to do on the front porch. This leads to some…interesting back and forth between he and Donna and some binge worthy Ring Video material for daughter Charlotte.

As you all know, Donna has been struggling to find a Pickleball partner. So, for now, she has found an alternative means for exercising. It will be happening in the garage and Caddy will not be participating.

Also, Donna adds Miley Cyrus’s new hit single ‘Flowers’ to the Hype Song Playlist. Hear the juicy backstory behind the song involving ex Liam Hemsworth. Get ‘em Miley.

Some Grammy’s gossip involving Lizzo and Adelle and much, much more on today’s episode!

What is the best (or worst) Valentine’s Day present YOU have ever received from a significant other? We want to know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Park City's newest ski instructor Feb 09, 2023

Suns out guns out here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We're getting ready for Spring Break and Donna's going skiing.

Endearing and enduring stories from our lives. That's the name of the game here, as you've heard many times. Cadillac and Donna Jack kick us off down Memory Lane and on up the ski lift. We even have our own toned Ski Doula in tight ski pants.

Then we talk about allegations. Not just certain allegations (cannibalism) but also the larger picture of allegations and the danger surrounding them. We look back at the only segment we've ever removed from a show, regardless of how we felt about the subjects of the story. We're an entertainment podcast (and partially music!) but we have standards. Plus, we do run into a lot of people at parties.

We go straight from there, make a pit stop at copyright infringement, and keep running all the way through the future of country radio. There's a conversation about Morgan Wallen and how he inadvertently started the conversation of whether you can become an artist without the station. And of course, some highlights from the Grammy's.

Paging Brantley Gilbert. Have you checked your mail today? Let us know. 7704646024.

I swear I’m sober Feb 07, 2023

On the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy has a surprise for Donna and gets a surprise of his own.

But first, we get an update on Caddy’s supervision of the Rainbow Sparkles visit with Roscoe. It didn’t start off great, which made Caddy a little grumpy. Roscoe is a happy camper though.

By the way, it is freezing in this studio.

Also, we find out that Donna is endeavoring on a quest to teach Roscoe sign language and swears they’ve made some great progress. You decide for yourself when she details the evidence.

On a much more serious note, Caddy has a gift for Donna that he gives her live on the show. She had no idea it was happening. It is particularly sentimental and thoughtful and it leads Donna and Caddy to converse on people who find themselves in a tough spot. Their advice? Just. Keep. Going. You’ve got this.

What is the most thoughtful gift someone has ever given you? Text or call us and let us know. 770-464-6024.

Virginistic Jan 31, 2023

On today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act, find out what Caddy got Donna for Christmas. She’s just deciding to open it, and it doesn’t disappoint.

Huge shoutout to Alpharetta and its fantastic restaurant scene. Caddy and Donna celebrated their wedding anniversary in the Tech City of the South at one of its many new high class locally owned restaurants. Not too long later though, Donna’s ADD medicine wears off and we get a preview of what Caddy gave her for Christmas…

We’ve also got some big corrections to make. On the last segment of Dead or Not Dead we suggested someone was a little bit handsy and we were way off base, at least we think. Naturally, the conversation leads to a discussion on people getting goosed and how political correctness has changed in the last few years.

Have you ever heard of the “heat button” on TikTok? A Forbes article detailed this secret feature that confirmed that they have the ability to artificially make posts go viral . Caddy and Donna put it to the test and Donna opens up her app to see what she is getting served with these days.

Before we get into some revelations Caddy has about Morgan Wallen, we learn Caddy’s true age and why he is officially getting old. Any optometrists out there listening to the pod? Give us a call. 770-464-6024.

Glitter in the driveway Jan 26, 2023

Today on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy is feeling some type of way after gorging himself at Marietta Diner. Don’t worry though…the show must go on.

Have you ever noticed how the weirdest email addresses are always associated with an @aol or something else strange like that? Well, Donna has. When she is working retail she has to ask customers for their email for receipts and the like and she has heard some STRANGE ones. Are these folks not embarrassed to say them out loud?!

Also, it’s time for Roscoe to get his nails trimmed, and what that means is it’s time for Rainbow Sparkles. Donna explains.

If Caddy and Donna formed their own country duo, what would their name be? We hinted at this recently and it’s time for the big reveal. Both Caddy and Donna bring some suggestions to the table and let’s just say there is not a lot of middle ground. Plus, Donna brings a list of demands she would have for concert venues.

At the Iowa State Fair there is a “husband calling” contest. Frankly, it’s exactly what it sounds like. Contestants are awarded prizes for the “best” holler to their husband. Caddy plays the winner and then Donna partakes with her own entry. Caddy’s ears melt on the spot.

Still using that old AOL email account? Seen any strange ones recently? Let’s see who takes the cake. Text or call 770-464-6024.

That lady had worse problems Jan 24, 2023

Today on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast we are not giving medical advice. I repeat: we are not giving medical advice.

Donna kicks us off today with some observations on people who use certain types of medicine for a purpose other than their prescribed intent: losing weight. But, there are also some…slippery side effects to those looking to take a shortcut to losing a few extra pounds. Caddy is just beside himself, but Donna has some stories to tell.

Also, in recognition of the passing of David Crosby from the legendary band Crosby, Stills & Nash, we are diving in to another segment of Dead or Not Dead. We promise that one of these days we will figure out the answers before we hit the big red record button. But what is life without a little bit of drama?

Also, Morgan Wallen man, you’re still recycling all the old music? Yes, we are going there again.

The Learning Podcast Jan 19, 2023

Welcome to TLP, a new show from Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. It's a new kind of manor. One with cougars.

We kick it off by talking Stetson and the Dawgs. "Ringy-ding-ding, ding dong. Just give it back to the fans!" We're thinking that he just got out of bed on the wrong side, was burned a few times or just overall is a sour grape. It's a shame for UGA.

What's better - the spare or the knight? Donna and Caddy talk Prince Harry's book deal and how many royal secrets may still be laying around.

Noma is closing in Denmark and we're all pretty upset about it. Where else will we spend $500 per plate?? It's a good segue into a segment of Dine or Dash that'll be sure to siphon up your hips. The show ends after a few moments covering nearby tornados and personal protection in general. Just… hear me out. Then call and complain. 7704646024.

Tornadoes in Georgia leave trail of destruction Jan 17, 2023

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna talk about the damage done in Georgia, in particular to Griffin, from the tornadoes last week.

But first, Donna has something to say about etiquette for leftovers in the refrigerator. Everyone knows that there are certain courtesies that must be paid to the owner of said leftovers before one can partake in consuming. Everyone, that is, except Caddy. And the cheesecake was only so-so, according to him.

On a more serious note, by now we have also seen and heard about the devastation to Georgia caused by enormous tornadoes, in particular to Griffin, a city of about 24,000 people. Caddy drove down to the scene shortly after the worst was behind us and witnessed first hand the chaos that the twister left in its path. Homes destroyed, lives lost, and communities that will take years to recover. At times, the tornado that touched down in Griffin was as much as 14 football fields wide and dragged across the Earth for 32 minutes.

Caddy and Donna also talk about some misconceptions about how to prepare for a tornado, or what to do if you find yourself under a tornado watch or warning. What’s the difference between a watch and a warning anyways? What do you do if you are in your car when you see one?

Not your anus, but Uranus. Jan 12, 2023

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Donna is still on a National Championship high. Anyone else? She could deadlift a truck right now. Also, have you ever heard of UberFacts? Donna rattles off some randoms.

Caddy has a wild story for the listeners about a husband whose wife goes into the jungle to take a tinkle, and when she comes back, he’s gone. Did he do it on purpose? You decide. Donna speaks…from experience. Caddy blames Jay-Z.

The murder trial for Atlanta Rapper Young Thug has begun in Fulton County Superior Court. At its open, the judge bizarrely rattles off some of Young Thug’s more profane rap lyrics. Why?! How is this not jury intimidation or tampering from the JUDGE?! Caddy has thoughts, but he’ll also have follow ups when he resumes his career as a volunteer trial witness. Stay tuned for updates.

Joe Don of Rascal Flatts fame and his wife Tiffany are getting a divorce. He claims she cheated on him with her personal trainer. She claims he’s deep into narcotics. It’s a mess. And speaking of messes, Todd Chrisley does a podcast with his son Chase right before Todd is due to report to prison. Chase is allowed to ask him absolutely anything.

Lastly, Morgan Wallen drops a new song on his Instagram. Are his songs starting to…blur together? Caddy and Donna investigate.

Should an artist’s work be relevant in a trial for a crime they have been accused of? Let us know what you think. Text or call 770-464-6024.

DAWGS ON TOP. AGAIN. Jan 10, 2023

Today on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, the Dawgs are National Champions…again!

The critics said they couldn’t repeat. They said they had gotten complacent. Boy were they wrong. Last night, the Dawgs took down the TCU Hornfrogs in the national championship game in dominating fashion. Their victory was not only the largest margin of victory in national championship history, it was the largest margin in the history of ALL bowl games, ever!

And Stetson Bennett. What can we say? The kid from Blackshear who walked on, transferred, and then came back home leaves Athens only as the 2nd winningest quarterback in SEC history and one of only two to win back-to-back national championships. Yeah…we don’t think he’ll be buying his own drinks in Georgia ever again.

In other, non-sports news, Harry and Meghan are in the news again as Harry puts out his juicy new autobiography “Spare”. He does sit down interviews with Anderson Cooper and Michael Strahan. There are supposedly all sorts of juicy details about the palace, his relationship with his brother, and…losing his virginity? Well, if that sort of thing peaks your interest, the book is out today – check it out!

We don’t really have a question. Just call or text us and tell us how excited you are about those Dawgs. 770-464-6024.

The Podcast About Nothing Jan 04, 2023

We're off book here on Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Or is it off script? Off the rails? That's probably the one. For the first time in some 300-odd shows, this episode does not have a run-of-show. We have no guidance. No agenda. It's sort of like that Seinfeld episode where George becomes a screenwriter.

Have you ever read or heard about someone's New Year's resolutions and just thought… really? The inside voice is a powerful tool that we… do not use on this episode. We're calling it hot. You just want everyone to know that since Darren left in August you've been dreaming of going to Paris with Jimmy. Let's be real.

We also talk about our Dawgs, Kirby Smart and why he should show us his "happy."

Then there's a mention about how we're taking on Bono and avoiding tantric sex. Like I said. A podcast about nothing. Have nothing to say? Leave us a silent voicemail. 7704646024.

Donna needs to remodel. Sally has got to go. Jan 03, 2023

It’s a good day in the Jack household. Donna’s beloved Dawgs pulled off a stunner as the clock turned midnight on New Years Eve and Caddy has zero resolutions to make.

But first, we say goodbye to Sally, our beloved 18 year old pup. She has always been the honey to Rosco’s salty, and she has outlived some pretty notable folks. Who would’ve thought she’d outlive the Queen? Alas, we bid her happy trails as she makes her way over the rainbow.

On a lighter note…how ‘bout them DAGWS?! UGA advanced to the national championship game to face the TCU Horned Frogs when it defeated Ohio State in dramatic fashion - at the stroke of midnight - on New Years Eve. You can’t script it any better. We go over some of the best #DawgsOnTop videos from social media. Can Stetson finally get some damn credit from Kirby?

Plus, a look back at the episode immediately after Georgia defeated Alabama in the 2022 national championship.

Also, a lot of celebrities and really notable people have been punching their tickets in the last few days and weeks. What gives? Pope Francis will preside over the funeral of Pope Benedict – something we haven’t seen in over 600 years. Also, Barbara Walters, may she rest in peace. She had four (!) different actors impersonate her on SNL and leaves behind an extraordinary legacy.

Lastly, the big reveal for the name of the Season 4 Hype Song Playlist…

All that and more on the first episode of 2023 for Cadillac Jack – My Second Act!

We don’t do score predictions. We know who will win. So, text or call and let us know how many you think the Dawgs are winning the natty by. 770-464-6024.

Sketchy as crud Dec 29, 2022

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, get your fill of the popular ‘Dead or Not Dead’ segment. Can you beat Donna?

So, apparently, people like to dress up like characters from the popular TV show Yellowstone. That whole rugged but sexy cowboy look. Or, at least, the ladies like their men looking like that. It’s a whole thing that Donna tells us all about.

BuzzFeed came out with a Top 10 ways to catch your significant other cheating article, and well, they might as well have just tagged us to discuss it. There are some damn sneaky and creative ways of sleuthing in this thing, but Donna’s not impressed. She has her own ideas you won’t want to miss.

Also, Caddy adds a song to the Hype Song Playlist from 1968! It’s the oldest song added to date. Can you guess what it is?

Back by popular demand, Dead or Not Dead is the segment where Donna tries to figure out whether popular celebrities in music, politics and otherwise are still alive and kicking – or if they died a long time ago and we completely missed the news. Enjoy.

Have a good Dead or Not Dead character you want us to add to the next segment? Give us a buzz. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Dry as toast, to juicy as a roast Dec 27, 2022

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna recount their Christmas, college football NILs, and Charles Kelley new studio single about his battle with addiction.

Trash bag dads. Heard of them? They are those dads that show up at Christmas with a brand new box of hefty to vacuum up the wrapping paper like their lives depended on it. Caddy is one such dad. He and Donna recount some of Christmas’s highlights and what they miss most (and least) about days of old.

If you have not heard about this kid J.J. McCarthy at the University of Michigan, you ought to put a google on him. He is the undefeated football team’s starting quarterback and he inked on NIL deal just like every other big star. The difference? He is donating all of his proceeds to charity, and to date, that means $678,000 for his name and likeness. And he’s 19!

Also, back by popular demand, Dead or Not Dead (not to be confused with Dead or Alive). Is this popular movie and TV star dead, or still alive? You and Donna decide.

On Friday, Lady A’s Charles Kelley released his new studio single “As Far As You Could,” which is his homage to his struggles and recovery from his bouts with alcoholism. Caddy and Donna talk about the song, which Donna adds to the Hype Song Playlist, but they also talk about the uniqueness of everyone’s struggles through addiction, and what it takes to see the fight through to the end.

Any funny family stories from your Christmas festivities? Share them. We could use a laugh! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Kris Kringle's Dingle Dec 22, 2022

It's the last show before Christmas and we're scrambling. You know how the holidays get crazier and crazier the closer you get? Well, we're feeling it.

Caddy and Donna reflect on shopping patterns, Christmas holiday traditions and why this year is just a little bit harder. At the end of the day we're just glad to have loved ones around us, even if it's not every one you love. (It's *almost* a good moment.)

There is one note for listeners of the podcast: we are a little upset that your Christmas letters aren't that juicy. Except for that one person. Yours is plenty succulent.

We also continue our conversation with Greg Barnhill. The songwriter fills us in on what it takes - and means - to be the one behind the scenes of music's greatest hits. Of course we get juicy ourselves and ask the important question - how's the money?

What else? Who knows. We've all gone south. 7704646024.

It’s not final until its vinyl Dec 20, 2022

Caddy is back! After taking a week off the podcast since…ever, Caddy is back in your feeds with a new episode featuring songwriter Greg Barnhill.

Caddy kicks off the show by explaining that right now, he’s not OK, and he really just needed some time away from the show and the stress that was piling up elsewhere in life. And that’s OK! We all need some breaks once in a while, and to unplug and get away. What is important is that you are honest with yourself and honest with your family.

Fortunately for the listeners, Caddy’s time away involved some relaxing time with friend and country music singer Joanna Cotten, and legendary songwriter Greg Barnhill. Caddy was kicking back and listening to a collaboration between Joanna and Greg and afterward asked Greg if he’d mind joining the show.

Greg jumps on the blower with Caddy to talk songwriting and specifically, the Backstreet Boys’ new Christmas Album and the radio single from it, Christmas in New York, which Greg wrote. While they were only planning on talking for about 20 minutes, the conversation went on for about an hour and we’ll bring you Part 2 on Thursday’s pod.

How do artists find songs? What inspires songwriters? What is a “hold?” All that and more on today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast.

What is one of your favorite Christmas memories? We want to know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

The day the roof caved in Dec 08, 2022

You know how sometimes national car manufacturers make an error so bad they have to call back a bunch of vehicles? Well, it happened to the Jacks. With the shingles. On their roof.

So today's episode of Caddilac Jack: My Second Act got off to a rough and drippy start. Just call us stormy.

What's the fastest way to catch a copyright infringement complaint? Donna and Caddy's new segment - the top 100 TV theme songs of all time. You'll hear a few choices as selected by YOU, in The Letter from this past week.

Then we go first comes love, then comes marriage. Do you love Parker McCollumn, like Caddy, or do you love "drive your truck off a bridge" songs, like Donna? We touch both in the Hype Song segment as part of our designation as a semi-music podcast. We round up with a few segments that tease to next week, and along the same lines we talk Blake Shelton on the cover of People magazine. Do you consider yourself gaslit?

We return to an original MSA topic - families tracking families. Who's in your circle? Let us know. 7704646024.

A word and a third Dec 06, 2022

Caddy needs help. With the TV. And Door Dash. OK so he needs some tech help from time to time. Who doesn’t? Caddy intros the show with a few stories though, none the less.

T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach have been sidelined at ABC after news of their affair broke. ABC News President Kim Godwin said that while their personal news wasn’t in violation of any company policy, the network is trying to "work through what's best" for the organization. Whatever that means. The conversation leads to the topic of cheaters and Caddy poses the question “Is cheating ever OK?” Donna’s answer may surprise you.

Next up, we are earning our country music cred on today’s episode. Donna explains the origins of Luke Combs and Miranda Lambert’s new duet, ‘Outrunnin’ Your Memory’. The topic will help to explain today’s show title, as the conversation progresses to songwriter credit and who gets what in royalties.

Also, Caddy adds a Morgan Wallen song to the Caddy & Donna Hype Song Playlist and he and Donna discuss the upcoming ‘One Night at a Time’ tour. You guessed it: Donna is a verified fan.

Speaking of playlists, Caddy and Donna reveal their 2022 Spotify Unwrapped top songs and artists. You may be surprised at Caddy’s…Donna wasn’t.

Lastly, as we teased on the last episode, we get into the greatest (and catchiest) TV theme songs of all time. You know, that song or jingly that tugs at your heart and overcomes you with memories from your childhood. We’ve all got them – and we want to thank everyone who sent theirs into the My Second Act Tip Line.

Agree or disagree with Caddy and Donna’s take on cheaters? We want to know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

If you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know. RIP, Dad. Nov 29, 2022

Caddy opens today's episode of the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast by informing listeners that his dad passed away this last Wednesday, November 23rd, after a long illness.

Fortunately, Caddy was able to be by his side as he took his last breath. He went his way – on his own terms – and we are thankful for that. Caddy and Donna talk about his life, and he what he meant to the entire family as a father, father-in-law, grandpa and so much more. Caddy recounts his father’ love for jazz music and art, and Donna talks about his role in her life, and the memories they shared that she will cherish forever.

They talk more generally about the loss of loved ones, and how we handle and manage the grief. It’s never easy – but remembering all the good times helps get us through it. In fact, Caddy takes us back to May 27, 2020 and the now infamous “Zoom in on the wooly booger” episode, which recounts his “take-your-son-to-work” experience on the road, with his traveling salesman father. If you’ve never heard it, it’s worth a listen.

For only the second time in their 300+ episode run, Caddy and Donna will not have a Thursday show this week. They will be traveling to North Carolina for memorial services. They do however, give listeners a little preview of what’s coming up in the next episode: an homage to some of the greatest TV theme songs of all time. Those jingles that as soon as you hear that first note – you instantly know what the show is. Some of them, bring with them a flood of memories, too.

What theme song takes you back more than any other? Leave us a message and let us know. We’ll share some of your favorites on the next show, December 6th. Text or call 770-464-6024.

The greatest turkey event in Thanksgiving Day history Nov 24, 2022

So far so good here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We just have one question: are these things loaded?

It's Thanksgiving Day here on the show and Donna starts us off by reminding everyone to take a beat. If you are spending time with family or another meaningful moment, and you get the urge to get up and clean, or move, or work, take a beat. Let the environment sit for just a few more minutes. You'll be glad you did.

To fulfill our obligation as a "semi" music podcast, we quickly move on to Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen. Bruce says he'll be attending Taylor's concert(s) and wants her to know: she's welcome on E Street any time.

Then we get heavenly. Then we take a break. Now go eat some turkey and tell it on the mountain. 7704646024.

Sounds filthy. Go on. Nov 22, 2022

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna get into the backlash from the Taylor Swift/Ticketmaster pre-sale fiasco.

Donna opens a show with a funny story about a friend (who shall remain nameless) who fell asleep at the opera and ended up sitting in the handing cap spot. How did this come to be? Oh, and somehow we meander into the continued conversation about Caddy’s bedside manner again.

Dead or not…alive. The segment continues. We had to, as Donna left a lot of names up in the air on the last one, so we’re back to tie up some loose ends.

Poor Ticketmaster…I guess. In the aftermath of the just awful job managing the rollout of pre-sale tickets for Taylor’s upcoming tour, the CEO went on the public circuit tour to apologize and blame market demands and…Taylor Swift’s immeasurable success? Come on man. Taylor apologizes to the fans, too. We still love you.

Don’t forget to hit up the grocery store before Thanksgiving, and Caddy has some advice: volunteer to bring cranberry sauce to the party. It’s the only Thanksgiving staple whose price has actually gone DOWN since the inflation boom of 2022.

We’re you one of the lucky few who made it through the T-Swift ticket queue? Seriously? Tell us what it was like winning the lottery. Text or call 770-464-6024. And take us with you.

Let's get dizzy. Nov 17, 2022

Grab the Dramamine and Fireball, it's time for the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

We start off strong and passionate by talking Taylor Swift and the cutting edge Eras tour. Donna breaks down the new method of selling out stadiums with credit cards, presales and very long waiting lists. It's a marketing style that we think will be the new norm now that Swifties have proven the concept.

Then we hear from @Jesus and Marvin Gaye, except Marvin isn't verified. So who knows.

From there we go to Dolly Parton, $100 million and what qualifies for the Jeff Bezos something-something award. How long would it take YOU to give away the money?

We also introduce a brand new competitive segment to the show - Dead, or not Dead? So tune in and play along. Just don't have your volume up very loud… When you're finished, let us know how many you got right. Then clean out your ears. 7704646024.

Let’s go do whatever Nov 15, 2022

On today's episode of the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast, Donna brings the receipts. Reuben and Rita - it happened, folks.

Thanksgiving is always a good time for college kids (and parents) to reunite in the middle of the chaos of first semester. Donna opens the show talking about missing Olivia, who is in her first semester at the University of Tennessee, and who she hasn’t had home since August.

Then Caddy and Donna get right back into the afterglow of the CMA Awards. Caddy in particular got a lot of questions from the listener line (call or text 770-464-6024 anytime!) that he wants to address. In particular, was Maren Morris there? After her blowup with Brittany Aldean, did she show up? The answers is yes, sort of. Caddy explains.

Donna’s longtime friend Allison joins the show to validate Donna’s truly bizarre story about their mutual friend Rita and her high school…husband, Reuben. Donna has known Allison since 5th grade and Allison was in the room for most of Rita and Reuben’s shenanigans. In fact, she was actually in the wedding! So yes, the story is true, and we know you are here for all the juicy details.

Crazy high school stories. Got one? No way it can top Rita and Reuben…right? Call or text 770-464-6024 and let us know!

The 2022 CMA Awards with the Jacks Nov 10, 2022

On today’s special episode of The Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna sit down to discuss last night’s CMA Awards.

The 2022 CMA Awards night was hosted by Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning and was full of highlights, funny moments and recognitions of artists we lost this year. Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood opened up the night by paying homage to Loretta Lynn.

There were definitely some snubs, but for the most part, we think the right folks walked away with the hardware. Listen to Caddy and Donna’s takes on their favorite moments!

Never ride your bike with the Oliver Boys Nov 08, 2022

If you have been wondering why Rita Martin married a man named Rubin she met at the skating rink, then this episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act is the one for you. Buckle up.

But first, Donna sees some crazy things when she is working retail at the store. The other day a Spanish speaking *only* family came in to do some shopping. While Donna doesn’t speak Spanish, she still thought she could be helpful. Apparently though, all she was doing was insisting they buy a cat. Meow.

If you are listening to this on upload day then you will not have watched the CMA Awards show yet! Donna and Caddy give a little preview of the night and promise a recap in your podcast feeds by noon Thursday.

Of course, a big shout out to the Georgia Bulldawgs who rolled over Tennessee on Saturday. Stetson Bennett is going to need to add some extra minutes to his phone plan though.

Oh, Rita Martin. What did she see in Rubin oh so many years ago at the skating rink? Donna teased this story last week and you knew Caddy wasn’t going to let her shelf it. He brings it back up and Donna spills the beans.

Send us your reactions to the CMA Awards show. Surprises? Favorites? Let us know. Call or text 770-464-6024.

Three tickets to paradise Nov 03, 2022

We start this Halloween episode with a recap of black cats, questionable costumes and 2 pm traffic. One question off the top - when did Halloween costumes become so… short?

Then we take it to Esther and her two CEOs. Do you think we are doing too much for our kids? Can we fix it by asking them to stir the pancake batter? Cadillac and Donna Jack chime in.

Then a few quick hits, like daylight savings, Dolly Parton and Eminem. Which leads us to the next segment: Where do you get your news? If you're like 10% of Americans, your answer is Tik Tok. Donna gives some advice on how to tell the slides from the noodles. We go from there to parenting and round it up with some Judd news ourselves. Don't miss the tour!

Once you're all tuned in and ready for action, we hit the ground running. That's right. Ben Burnett calls in to talk Election Day, politicians and how to commit tax fraud. Just kidding…right? Who knows. Take a listen, then come back next week when it's time to face the music. We'll see just how close Ben's predictions were to being right. Get your betting slips in now at 7704646024.

Those that have done good, and those that tried Nov 01, 2022

As the Jack family continues to mourn the passing of Mr. Al, they’ve had some conversations about the afterlife, heaven, and many unanswerable questions. Like, who gets into Heaven and when you’re in, who do you hang out with? If you were divorced on Earth, do your kids still split time with each parent? Or, as Caddy suggests, is everyone just at peace with each other?

In other news, Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter and he is cleaning house. He wants to remake the social media behemoth to, in his mind, be more inclusive to people of all walks of life and encourage more free speech. However, in his first full 24 hours on the job, usage of the “n word” jumped 500%. Coincidence? Or just more people exercising their “free speech?”

Vince Dooley was a damn good dawg. The longtime football coach and Georgia icon passed away shortly before the Georgia-Florida game on Saturday. Kirby Smart opened up his post-game press conference by talking about Coach Dooley and why it was important for his team to dedicate the game to their late coach. Going back to the introductory segment, who is Coach Dooley hanging out with in heaven now? Bear Bryant? Are they smoking cigars? Better not tell Barbara.

All that and much more on today’s episode. Friend of the show Ben Burnett joins the show on Thursday. Tune in!

Do schools expect too much of girls with strict dress clothes? Shouldn’t the boys be expected to control themselves? If you have any thoughts on the subject, let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Remembering Mr. Al Oct 27, 2022

Howard “Al” Rowe, 102, of Smyrna, passed away October 19, 2022. Al lived by example, serving God and loving those around him. He was a proud, sincere, and patriotic father, grandfather, great-grandfather and companion. On this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act, Caddy and Donna share stories and remember Mr. Al. It’s not all tears on this show. Appropriately there are some laughs and smiles and chokes and jokes. And yes, even a Morgan Wallen discussion. We love you Mr. Al. This one’s for you.

A story of faith Oct 25, 2022

Today on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, we talk to a family who has every reason to feel resentment after a tragedy in their lives, but instead, decide to walk by faith. It makes all the difference, folks, and we are proud to tell their story.

But first, before we get into it, Donna has a few things to say. Do you know those moments when you get stuck in a conversation with someone that you’ve really got no business being stuck in a conversation with? How do you get out of it? Donna has figured it out and she is here to fill you in.

Also, my oh my has Harry Styles done it now. After he and Olivia Wilde’s tryst was discovered by Jason Sudeikis with the help of an Apple Watch, Caddy and Donna talk about how wild the story is and the acceptable limits of “snooping” by people. People: keep your Fitbit under lock and key.

Donna give her take on the new T-Swift Midnights album and reviews some of her favorites on this week’s segment for the Donna & Caddy Hype Song Playlist. Caddy chimes in (he’s not a fan of the cussing) and they talk about her song writing style and her inspirations. Even more on the album in the next episode on Thursday.

When an electrical fire at their business, Heirloom Market Co., upends the lives of Laura and Justin Gibson, they turned to faith and a community they loved to get them through a hard time in their lives. Caddy visits the scene of the fire and talks with Laura about the day that would change her life forever. She recounts seeing the smoke in the distance, but not thinking much of it, until she got the call that her business was indeed gulfed in flames. She and Caddy also talk with Trinity Christian Football Coach Kenny Dallas, about how his football team ran to the scene of the fire and helped the fire department contain the blaze. In the end, time after time, the community came through for the Gibsons, they plan to rebuild, and faith will see them through.

Lastly, Caddy pays his respects to Leslie Jordan, with the late breaking news that tragically, he was killed in a car crash on Monday. He was a candle for all of us during the pandemic, and he will be dearly missed.

We would love to hear how faith has gotten you through a tough patch in your life. Drop us a text or give Caddy a call at 770-464-6024.

Olivia Wilde, Dolly Parton and why we may lose the podcast Oct 20, 2022

Do you fool around? If so, you'll want to listen closely to this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Is she blonde? Or newly blonde? You ever see a haircut that just makes you go… silent? Well, it happened to Donna on a trip this weekend. We cover how to react in those situations and end up in Dollywood. No, really.

Then we spend a few minutes on the Jason Sudeikis, Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles.

What's worse: serving someone papers outside church on Easter? Or while their performing on stage? Olivia Wilde, Cadillac and Donna Jack swap stories and compare. It also includes some importance guidance for those who like to fool around while wearing Apple Watches. We just have one thing to say: be careful.

The show does return to Beauty and the Beast for a bit of trivia to fulfil our designation as a semi-musical podcast. (See what I did there?) And to really end the quota we take a look at Breaker Breaker One-Nine and what really gets one co-host going. It's the segment that really might kick the podcast off the airwaves. (As if- remember Episode 70?)

We do give a ring to General Lee John and return his message. It's not 23 years, it's 23 seasons. Capeesh? Don't shoot your musket this way General John. We know you're listening. Now go back to bed!

That's all we've got. Trust your hair. Hold it tight. Then give us a call. 7704646024.

Fudge is gone Oct 18, 2022

Jason Aldean sold out his show in Nashville and was joined on stage by a friend who may or may not be regretting her appearance. Find out who on today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act.

Donna got to see all 3 kids this weekend in Tennessee. It gave her some time to be mom again, give advice, answer questions, and just spend time in their presence. You never know how much you’ll miss it until you do! That said, it was exhausting, and she slept like a baby for the first time in a while.

Speaking of Tennessee…am I right Alabama?! What a game! While Donna and Charlotte didn’t get to see it in person (Wil did), they did get to spend time on campus during one of the more memorable Saturday nights in Knoxville in quite some time. Rumor had it that Morgan Wallen was staying at a hotel just down the street. Donna convinced Charlotte to go investigate.

Meanwhile, Charlotte suggested it just might be a good time to check on Wil, who was actually IN the stadium, witnessing the goal posts getting torn down and carried down to the river. While he didn’t answer his phone at first…he’s fine and has a hell of a story to tell now. Chip in to the GoFundMe campaign!

Jason Aldean was back at Bridgestone Arena. Sold out crowd, of course, and he surprised the crowd when some of his fellow country music stars joined him on stage. Find out which one of them may be getting some blowback from her appearance now…

All that and more on this exciting new episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act. Go Vols!

Who looks better in orange – Caddy or Donna? You decide. Text or call 770-464-6024 and let us know.

We're sorry Lorne Michaels Oct 13, 2022

Tough day at the office here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We start the show with copyright infringement and end it with, you guessed it - more copyright infringement.

October 10 was World Mental Health Day and we have a bone to pick with our employers. And society. And Microsoft Outlook. This episode comes out at midnight, and if you're listening at 12:05: you're part of the problem. (Just kidding. Never stop.)

Really though Donna starts us off by talking workplace boundaries and what most people can do to check in on each other.

The Jacks move from there into parenting and social media, but not the way you expect. It's a thoughtful conversation about expectations, example-setting and being the better person. And ps - there's nothing special about Bennett Woods.

We head almost straight into today's Hype Songs to fulfill our obligation as a semi-music podcast. Donna has some Noah Thompson all the way from Kentucky. Caddy brings along a lifetime achiever - Alan Jackson. This ain't your mama's Jackson. Then we touch our country notebook with some news about Kenny Chesney, Kelsea Ballerini, Blake Shelton and friend of the show Calista Clark.

That's about it to wrap us up. Of course, second to last word gives us the E. Please don't listen to this show Lorne Michaels. But if you do, call us. 7704646024.

I’m getting hot just thinking about it Oct 11, 2022

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna take a shot at Taylor Swift. Come at the queen, you best not miss.

Donna opens the show about dads at the airport. Have you ever noticed that they walk really fast, especially when there is a mama with a gaggle of kids and 12 suitcases struggling behind him? Before bringing this subject to today’s episode, Donna did some (unscientific) polling, and it is definitely a thing. Caddy offers a defense on behalf of the men.

Kelsea Ballerini burst onto the country music scene a few years back when her debut single "Love Me Like You Mean It" reached number one and made her the first female artist to accomplish the feat since Carrie Underwood in 2006. However…we are finding out now that the “help” she received from Taylor Swift in search of stardom may not have just been given out of the kindness of T-Swift’s heart. In fact, quite a bit of money may have changed hands. Fair of foul? Caddy and Donna discuss.

On that note, what celebrity makes the most money per post on their Instagram? We bet you won’t be able to guess.

Morgan Evans, Ashley McBryde, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and much more on this country music heavy episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Thanks for tuning in!

Let’s continue Donna’s poll. Does your husband carry his weight at the airport? Text or call 770-464-6024.

RIP Loretta Lynn Oct 06, 2022

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Donna and Caddy pay homage to a country music legend and icon.

Right before Caddy and Donna started recording today’s pod, news of Loretta Lynn’s passing broke and changed the whole script for the show, as it should have. Loretta was and is a country music icon. Caddy and Donna share their very personal stories and connections with the superstar and what she meant to not just country music, but the entertainment industry as a whole. We sure hope Donna can help Caddy find that picture. If she can, you know where you’ll be able to see it Saturday morning…

Caddy shares a story only Caddy can share about the measures he took to gas up his depleted car the other day. When he says he was on “E”, we mean the needle had moved past it and was resting nicely on the dashboard. He made it back home though, and find out what he brought back with him. We suspect he may have some regrets when it comes time for Donna to do some holiday shopping!

Ashton Kutcher, country music and so much more on today’s episode of pod. Thanks for tuning in!

Have you ever run out of gas before you could make it to the filling station? Tell us what happened! Text or call 770-464-6024.

This world has gone mad Oct 04, 2022

So the question is, when you try on a pair of pants in a dressing room, do you have the decency to put them back if you don’t buy them, or do you just leave them there for someone else to put back? Donna explores the answer to this one with some recent real life experiences she’s had with a dude who just couldn’t make up his mind.

Ever been on a date that went wrong quick? Well, have you ever been on a date and the dude drove your car into a river? Yeah, that happened recently, and Caddy and Donna talk about how the dating world has changed and kids just don’t use some damn common sense. Oh yeah, and Donna talks about the one time she went on a blind date. You won’t want to miss this story. Husky or stocky?

Let’s go Georgia sports! Hell of a weekend with UGA, Georgia Tech, Braves and Falcons all walking away big winners. Which is more than we can say for Aaron Rodgers, JJ Watt and Tua Tagovailoa…

Let us know your worst first date story. We’d love to share it on an upcoming episode. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Even the bathrooms are bigger in Texas. Sep 29, 2022

Bring in the dancing hooves, it’s the 300th episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Do you need another reason to believe how much smarter and more refined women are than men? We’ll give you one- Urinal troughs. Caddy and Donna kick us off with a little potty talk and what it means when someone walks in on you. With or without the trough.

We’ve seen the future, and it’s Harry Styles. Harry is pioneering a new way of touring and we think it’ll change the game. Find out why, and why that means that us in the major metros will be the ones hitting the road.

Music is now our PRIMARY category in Apple Podcasts, so we basically spend the entire second half of the show talking tunes. Winona, setlists and, yes, more Harry Styles.

Then a bit of housekeeping. We find out what Door 14 is, where Crossfit Chris is and how to handle a lesson in Disney kindness. All that and more on Show 300. What’s 301? Let us know. 7704646024.

Look at the shoes I’m wearing. Look how cute I look. Sep 27, 2022

Donna Choate has a low tire. It is regularly low, in fact, even after attempts to fill it. So, Donna made her way over to one of those oil change and new tire in-and-out drive thru shops. Unfortunately though, Donna didn’t drive through. Hear the story on how the mechanic ended up behind the wheel and Donna and her heels were guiding him in and out of the pit. We hope he still has a job.

On a more serious note, Caddy shares the story of the Cherokee Casket Company in Griffin, GA, and the recent Community Service award they received. Cherokee Casket is one of the only casket companies in the world that makes caskets exclusively for children, and after the massacre in Uvalde, Texas, they sent 19 custom caskets to the families of the victims at no charge. It is a touching story and Caddy shares with listeners the little things they do to make a tragic event in families’ lives a little less heavy.

Ever been arrested for making terroristic threats if your college football team didn’t beat their opponent? Me neither, but a young lady at the University of Utah just got cuffed for it and her mama CANNOT be happy with her right now. Oh, and Utah won anyways.

I repeat: If you want Caddy to run the Mayor’s Corporate Challenge 5k you MUST text or leave him a voicemail and encourage him. He is on the fence. 770-464-6024.

I don't want to get wet or bloody Sep 22, 2022

Today on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna discuss why Adam Levine is…well…a dirtbag. He has been in the news recently because he “crossed the line,” in his words, with an Instagram model - Sumner Stroh – 20 years his junior AND asked if she would be OK if he named his new baby Sumner. The one that his WIFE is currently carrying. Caddy and Donna discuss whether or not he was serious, if it matters, and his poor wife and what she is going to do.

According to Donna, David Beckham is in her Top 5. And, she said she would have stood in the line, just like him, to pay her respects to the Queen if she had been a Brit in England. Caddy? Not so much. He is not really into that whole “queuing” thing. He would have taken the fast past though. Or at least signed the guest registry. Either would have been fine.

Some hot new hits on the Spotify hype song play list and much, much more on today’s episode!

Jury is still out on whether Caddy is going to run in the Mayor’s 5k. Think he should? Send him some encouragement. Text or call 770-464-6024.

The magic of Luke Combs Sep 20, 2022

Luke Combs gets rowdy on college game day. It paid off. And the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act is here for it.

But first, Donna has been a bit tired lately. So much so, she has been trying sleep apps she has found while scrolling the App store at night while lying awake in bed. The research may have paid off, and she’d here to start the show with a recommendation.

Part of the reason Donna may be so tired is she had to deal with Caddy on a roundtrip…together…in the same car! Long time listeners of the show will know that that is something the Jacks just don’t do. However, it happened when they recently made a 4.5 hour drive to Asheville to visit Olivia and Wil. A little Jack family reunion if you will, now that they have two living in Knoxville. They all survived, with Charlotte’s help on the trip back home.

Have you ever wondered why the ATM, or the check out person when using your debit card, gets to see your balance when its negative?! Or is it just Caddy? Well, regardless, Caddy has a bone to pick and you are just going to have to come along for the ride.

Making a guest appearance on the podcast is Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin! He joins the show to talk about the upcoming Alpharetta Mayor’s Corporate Challenge 5k and the new PR he is about to set. Donna also tries to convince Caddy that he should join the Mayor and well, let’s just say Caddy has a conflict.

Should Caddy run in the Alpharetta Mayor’s Corporate Challenge 5k? Let us know what you think. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Cold sweats and open tabs Sep 15, 2022

Throw out your run-of-show, it's a fly-by-the-seat episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

This week had curriculum night and Donna has broken into a cold sweat. It's not (entirely) because she's worried about what tabs were left open.

We've also decided to name the Cadillac and Donna Jack Institute of Learning Top 100 Colleges and Universities. So, let us know if you're interested in topping the list and also your marketing director's cell phone number. We stay on the topic of colleges for awhile and all the opportunities available to students today.

Caddy moves on to talk about one of the most powerful charitable events he'd ever witnessed. No jokes here- it's a pretty cool story.

We touch on all that and a bit of tunes to fulfil our designation as a semi-music podcast. Give it a listen and let us know your best jokes. 7704646024.

And new podcast name we call it - Thoughts in My Head.

Oh my god! My water broke. Sep 13, 2022

On the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast today, Caddy and Donna share some observations and funny stories about the Queen and her underlings.

But first, have you been to a college football game recently, looked around in the bleachers, and wondered where the heck these people came from? Donna opens by discussing dramatic change in attire the young kids are wearing these days to the games. Certainly a lot different than when she was a young Evan Williams mule on the campus of the University of Georgia. Go Dawgs!

Over the weekend we saw a lot of tributes on TV to Queen Elizabeth, may she rest in peace. Caddy and Donna have a little chat about the latest, the new royal lineage, and Britain’s new King. They also talk about some gaffs by former American Presidents and First Ladies in their encounters with the Queen. As always though, Her Royal Highness always had a great sense of humor.

Anyone watch any football over the weekend? Did you catch Texas A&M and Notre Dame going down to Appalachia State and Marshall?! My goodness. I mean, good for these smaller schools for showing up to play, but how embarrassing would it be to be an alumni of one of the losing schools? Again, Go Dawgs.

I know Donna is not the only one who has been caught sneaking something into a football game. Any of our listeners out there have their own humorous experience to share? Text or call us. 770-464-6024.

Fan of the phone Sep 08, 2022

We have the Thursday blues here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. There's been some breaking news about Freddie Freeman. The problem is that the news is giving us trust issues when it comes to believing radio hosts. Awkward. (I wouldn't want to be Bobby Bluetooth right now.)

We keep it rolling with a few more sports highlights (odd) before going into the Country Music Association award nominations. We fulfill our obligation as a semi-music podcast to talk Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning and all other things CMAs. We just want to know - who is going to sit with Maren Morris?

Then Kanye West shares a little too much about Kim Kardashian, so nothing new in the entertainment sector.

If you get a missed call, no voicemail, what do you do? Call back, text or do nothing? If you responded with option A, what was the last small animal you tortured? Let us know. Just don't leave a VM. 7704646024.

Things that Donna thinks in her head Sep 06, 2022

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast it’s all country music and Georgia Bulldogs. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Donna opens the show as she often does with some advice for all parents, and it really comes down to this: hug your kids! Especially dads with their girls and moms with their boys. They need it. They may not know they do, but they do. Caddy tests the theory. Sorry Charlotte.

HBTFD?! Caddy recaps his adventure with Second Wind Dreams and Mr. Parker down to Mercedes Benz Stadium to see the Dawgs absolutely throttle the Oregon Ducks. Caddy got to see the Dawgs in all their glory in person on the 50 yard line. Row 1. Go Dawgs.

Maren Morris has put her money where her mouth is. In 24 hours she has helped to raise over $100k for trans youth in crisis. This is all in response to the ongoing fiasco with Brittany Aldean (Tucker Carlson is involved now, too) and her perceived anti-trans social media post. Donna and Caddy discuss why this story just won’t go away.

Donna shares one of the things she loves most about Caddy on today’s episode. What is one of your favorites things about your spouse? Call or text 770-464-6024 and let us know!

"I'm not a reactor. I'm a generator." Sep 01, 2022

It's a late night with Caddy and Donna here on the Cadillac Jac: My Second Act podcast.

Some folks want to know why we act the way we do. Well, ee have a whole laundry list of answers to the question. We also don't want to wake up and hear the garbage trucks pulling up knowing that the bin is sitting as the top of the driveway. So how about you just take the trash out while you listen (or record) this show.

Are you a reactor? Or a generator? Or are you just a narcissist? Caddy offers an answer. Donna offers a suggestion.

Then we're talking 50-yard-line at the Georgia/Oregon game at Mercedes-Benz this weekend. But there's a catch. We fill you in and want to know… would you still go?

Near the end we look for, find and dispose of "that drug thing." Listen closely and hang on.

To take us almost home, Caddy shares the story of his very first microphone and who he gave it to. It's a heartfelt story, and it ends with a tattoo. Talk about checking all the boxes.

What can we do to be a better partner for you? Text this number once a week and let us know. 7704646024.

Drama in Nashville Aug 30, 2022

If you are on TikTok, you may have seen the latest from Bulldog Nation on Stetson’s Bennett and it’s…well, not great. On today's episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act, Donna shares the background on the story that involves Stetson, his girlfriend, sneaking out of the house and…Ring cameras.

Breaking News Alert: Caddy’s undies have gone missing. More specifically, they’ve been stolen. Caddy tells the story about how his little blue luggage bag full of his leather boots and clean undies went missing from his car while he was out in the world doing good deeds. Of course, Caddy has a theory, and needless to say there WILL be a full investigation.

Did you catch the inaugural “Third Episode”, Saturday pod release on YouTube? Caddy gives a recap on how it went and where he still has room to iron out the kinks. We promise to be back better than ever this Saturday so make sure to smash that subscribe button.

Last, but not least, Brittany Aldean is embroiled in some drama with Maren Morris and Cassadee Pope over what they are calling transphobic comments from Aldean on her Instagram account. And THEN Candace Owens jumped in and it just spiraled out of control from there.

Have you ever had something stolen out of your house or car and care to admit it? What was it? Text or call and let us know. 770-464-6024.

"Let me steep. Like a tea bag." Aug 25, 2022

Has Donna been replaced? The reviews are in for her sub's episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act, and it's time to call the Jacks' agent. No, not that Jack.

First up on the show we cover things that you bring "in-house." You know, the things that you start doing yourself to save money or just make sure things are done the right way. Caddy starts with his list. Then immediately, almost within seconds, Donna shares her own. Needless to say the list is a bit longer.

Then it's time to go live. In the second segment you'll hear about how you can get a little more MSA in your life. Here's a hint: Saturdays. 6 PM. The Tube. No, not that tube.

There's a segment about how communication and parenting has changes over the years. And of course we go on tour with Korn and Evanescence to align with our designation as a semi-music podcast. Just one request: Wake Me Up Inside.

Lastly we page some Tesla drivers. We can do that, because you get podcasts. And not radio. Because they don't get terrestrial radio. …because they have iPads. It's been a long week. You know the drill. 7704646024.

Daddy teases for a living Aug 23, 2022

On today’s installment of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Charlotte subs in for Donna, Fudge has really bad breath, and Caddy has an apology to make.

Donna is running a little late returning from dropping Olivia off at college, so Charlotte joins the show to talk to Caddy about life now, as an only child. They have some good old fashion daddy/daughter conversation and Caddy avoids any and all mention of boys as much as he can. First though, Charlotte has a thing or two to say about Morgan Wallen.

Donna does finally make it back from Knoxville, Tennessee though, and tags in for Charlotte to finish up the episode with Caddy. They talk about what the whole transition for them and Olivia has been like, their weekend in Knoxville and where they go from here.

Next up, Caddy has an apology to make. Find out which country music star took an undeserved thrashing from Caddy in the last episode and who the real culprit was.

We wrap the show with a lot of shout outs to some pod peeps that have left messages, questions and comments – so make sure to listen all the way through to see if you were included!

Any funny/memorable stories from sending your kid(s) off to college for the first time? We’d love to hear. Call or text 770-464-6024 and let us know!

Bid Day Aug 18, 2022

It's Pref Night here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act, so we want to know: who gave you a bid, and what's the OOTD?

Rush is a huge deal at SEC schools (and Big 12 - Boomer) and it continues to dominate the Tok. Panhellenic councils are throwing a fit and the pledges (PNMs for the srat life) aren't having it. Caddy and Donna cover all that's fit to rush and why HBO has been filming it all undercover.

We move to sports in the surprise second segment. At least that's what we're hearing right meow. It's a really special time as Michael Harris II's contract was extended 8 more years. It's an unmatched moment, meow?

We do take a conversation about WFH and end up with a ragtale story about a certain country artist- the only person to ever stand Caddy up. So we just want to know Schmotty McMeery - imagine our surprise when you can't keep your stories straight? (Production note: we blame the manager.)

Then there's one last piece about Jamie Johnson, but we can't spend too much time on it. We're worried he'll blackball us. Anyways, here's our OOTD… Let us know what you think. 7704646024.

Luke Combs does not do Pilates Aug 16, 2022

If you are one of those moms or dads that is getting ready to send their kid off to college, then this is the episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast for you.

But first, Caddy and Donna decide it is finally time to settle the debate about whether an owl can sit criss cross applesauce. So, they do what anyone would do: call the Chattahoochee Nature Center in Roswell, Georgia and just ask. Tom had no idea what he was in for when he went to work today and answered the phone, but we do get some answers. Eventually. Sort of.

There are a lot of emotions that go through a parent’s head when sending their kid off to college. They have to say goodbye, and let them flap their wings, while also maintaining some semblance of parental authority and support. Donna talks about all the emotions that SHE is going through getting Olivia ready for University of Tennessee. Caddy’s advice: don’t look under her bed.

Will we see you at the Freedom Bowl at Milton High School this weekend? Call or text and let us know! We’d love to connect. 770-464-6024.

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight Aug 11, 2022

It's a Greek love fest here today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

Donna almost ran away with a cowboy and "all the women are saying aluminum foil." We take a few minutes to talk pronunciations after Donna's near-escape story.

Then we hear about applesauce and an act of true sportsmanship. (#FromtheBooth) Executive producer Carl is not surprised that it's a player from Oklahoma.

What's the difference between know-how and patience? Why don't the Jack's bikes have pedals? You'll find out both around the 31 minute mark.

Of course it wouldn't be a semi-music podcast if we didn't talk Carrie Underwood, Kanye West and… Pete Davidson? So, we tick those boxes before tuning out. Tune in and tick them for yourself.

Then call us and let us know how you say enchilada. 7704646024.

Who is Joni Mitchell? Aug 09, 2022

Morgan Wallen, Lady Antebellum, Britney Spears and MUCH more. It’s a music-pa-looza episode on today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act.

Donna heads to Athens for a little business trip. Go Dawgs. While she was there she got to relive the glory days and also heard a motivational speech from UGA Athletic Director Josh Brooks. In it, he talked about what it took to build good company culture. Hear what advice he had to give that resonated with Donna.

Morgan Wallen made his big return to Atlanta last Thursday and Friday and Donna took Charlotte for a little mother/daughter concert. In short: he lives up to his reputation. Donna relives the concert, the atmosphere, the fans and the man that has become one of country music’s biggest stars.

Also in country music, Lady Antebellum has postponed the rest of its tour dates until 2023 after band member Charles Kelley announced that he is checking into rehab to deal with alcohol issues. Donna and Caddy applaud his bravery and the support that his fellow band members are showing him. Family first, they said. Amen.

Britney Spears is in the news after her former husband, and the father of her two boys, took some dirty laundry public when he revealed that their sons have decided they don’t want to see Britney anymore. Donna and Caddy talk about how divorce and stardom effect kids in a relationship and what a sh*tty move by K-Fed this was.

On the next episode, we’ll discuss the life and legacy of Olivia Newton-John, singer and actress, who passed away Monday at the age of 73.

Where is the strangest place you’ve ever publicly urinated? Let us know. Anonymous answers are allowed. Text or call 770-464-6024.

The bonus parent Aug 04, 2022

Alright, let's go. It's time for the August 4th, rising moon, leo aligned, Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

Caddy went to producer Carl's favorite place this side of the Mississippi. The Splish Splash Laundromat. It got a little slippery.

Then importantly Donna talks about being a bonus parent, and we think a lot of listeners will relate.

Tyler Hubbard has launched a single career for his own Second Act. The Florida Georgia Line artist is out, about and rumbling on. But if you offered him $1 million to go back, does he?

Josh Turner also joins the show. Or does he? Listen about 34, 35 minutes in and you (definitely) will find out. Listen closely, then let us know. 7704646024.

Better hope that they practice discretion Aug 02, 2022

Donna opens the show with a game based on a little TikTok sensation that involves rating people and adding qualities to them that either upgrades or downgrades their “score.” Would a girl with a dog named Dale Earnhardt be a plus or a minus for you?

Caddy breaks into his own house. Well, sort of. He has an explainer for the Thursday episode. Like, literally how the episode was dead and then it wasn’t. It involves a LOT of trust in his IT guy.

Joanna Cotten is stepping aside and taking another stage. Eric Church’s longtime backup singer appears to be leaving the band for a solo career. Caddy and Donna discuss what might be going on and what could be next for Joanna.

Also, Caddy teases the story about when Josh Turner drove to Johnny Cash’s house and knocked on his front door. You won’t want to miss it. Tune in.

And finally, Pod peep Doug joins the show to talk about how he found the podcast and to figure out how the hell he can get The Letter out of his damn spam folder.

What fictional character do you wish was real? Seriously. We want to know. Call or text 770-464-6024.

White noise Jul 28, 2022

It's a short one here on Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. And we are only talking about length a little bit.

Have you thanked your IT guy today? We sure have. Better yet, make sure to visit them at Christmas, because you want to stay in their good graces. You have no idea the power they wield.

It's time to get out the film, shutterfly and scrapbooks. We're headed down (photographic) memory lane. If there was one thing you've done that you could relive, what would it be? Donna has two answers.

You know when an artist connects with the audience in a way that is just pure magic? Like when Luke Combs and 63,000 of his listeners creating a moment for one special fan? They're rare, and they do happen… but Country musicians seem to have a gift for it.

We do take a voicemail from pod peep Doug. He has a question for the show, and the Jacks try their best to answer. Then it's time to rag on our coworkers. Maybe even the show host who plays the worst background white noise in the history of podcasts for five minutes and 46 seconds. Who knows.

Got an itch? Let us know at 7704646024.

This is going to be a short episode Jul 26, 2022

Donna is feeling a little under the weather, but she is going to power through it. First up, long time listeners of the pod will know that Caddy and Donna rarely drive anywhere together in the same car. Finally, we get some insight as to why.

Caddy has been decorating the studio to get ready for their big YouTube live debut. Here the latest and greatest on how that’s going.

Alan Jackson is going to be a grandfather! Find out what his grand baby will be calling him. Jamey Johnson updates, too. It’s a country music heavy episode!

And last, but certainly not least, Caddy and Donna pay tribute to Jay Grover, a dear friend who recently passed away. They attended his funeral this weekend and had a chance to reflect on some of their best memories, including – yes – the now infamous wet t-shirt contest years ago at Country Fair. And, as it turns out, the WINNER of that contest recently messaged Caddy on social media. He reads what she had to say live on air.

Any ideas for Caddy on what to deck the studio out with? We’re all ears. Text or call 770-464-6024. We’d love to hear from you.

Was your headboard sturdy? Jul 21, 2022

Donna opens the show to talk about boundaries – in love, parenting, work, you name it. It’s a follow up to a segment about children and adoption. Donna’s advice? Control what you can control, which includes how you react to what you can’t control.

Donna takes a CDL pre-test because she is bound and determined to pull a big rig up to the Ritz-Carlton. Caddy administers the test and Pod Peep Karen Thomas joins the show later to grade. Where the heck did Donna get this idea? Hint: TikTok.

So apparently Dave Coulier heard "You Oughta Know" on the radio and figured out it was about…him. Apparently he called up Alanis Morissette and talked to her about it. Caddy and Donna discuss. Sorry PT.

Remember growing up, it was the end of the week, and the food pantry was running low on supplies? What was the one meal that mama would be able to whip up and any time you eat it now it takes you back? Hear about Donna’s.

What was that meal for you? Text or call 770-464-6024. We’d love to hear from you.

Gin and regret Jul 19, 2022

We are continuing the conversation, just as we have for the past 273-odd episodes of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

We begin today with a callback. Remember last week when Donna announced her potential new career as a long haul trucker? Well, we have updates. And answers. And a few more questions.

We're also headed to Las Vegas vicariously. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez just got hitched, and Caddy and Donna bring you all you need to know about it.

Donna shares a bit about what it's like to manage younger folks these days, and whether or not they've earned their reputations. For good or bad, at least they have a great taste in music. We're looking at you, Black Keys :). So study up, cram, and get ready for next episode. If you need a study buddy, let us know. 7704646024.

Bound 3 Jul 14, 2022

Have you been in one place for too long? Join the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act club. Caddy and Donna kick us off by talking complacency. Donna has a new idea for what can be her new wave. Or at least, someone's new wave. Donna's new ride. And Cadillac Jack is being recruited himself. We mean literally recruited. Donna is actually a little worried about a part of the screening process.

We're all getting dressed up for a pageant and the theme is sweet peach. You'll hear about why in the ~2nd segment of the show.

Then we look at a very popular thread that took off across Reddit. How far would you go to support relatives-in-name-only? What's the obligation to help? Where is the line between responsibility and having boundaries?

Lastly it’s the biggest culture moment of the year. Shockingly, it is not a clip from Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Tune in and fine out. Just don't get slapped. 7704646024.

Mary Magdalene has arrived Jul 12, 2022

Donna and Charlotte went to the movies this weekend to see Chris Hemsworth…I mean to see the new Thor movie. Caddy didn’t go, because this was one of those dine and watch movie theaters and you know how Caddy is with noises other than his own. Find out what got Donna all hot and bothered – other than Chris Hemsworth.

Also, remember when pod peep Linda Leon said that she prays for Donna differently than she prays for Caddy? What was that all about? Caddy HAS to know. Linda responds.

If you were refreshing your inbox all day Saturday waiting for your copy of The Letter…well, we’re sorry that the people over at Revue and Twitter couldn’t get their act together. Apparently their servers went down and didn’t bother to tell anyone. Sorry folks. We’ll be back at it this weekend better than ever.

Let’s talk country music and the Billboard 100 Top Country Music Albums chart. This comes after Luke Combs’ ‘Growin’ Up’ debuts at No. 1 this week. That got us thinking…who has spent the MOST time at No. 1 all time? The answer will probably surprise you.

All that and much more on today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act. Thanks for tuning in!

NEXT EPISODE: It’s the halfway point of 2022 and we’ll be talking top moments in pop culture. What has been the year's moment so far? Text or call 770-464-6024.

Roleplay Jul 07, 2022

Lucky number 7-7 here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Listen closely and you may just hit the jackpot.

About three minutes into this show you'll hear the magic of Cadillac Jack. Do you know anyone else who can improv a monologue, pretending to be a two-person conversation, while balancing a parenting opportunity and an open door? If you do, tell them to email carl@appenmedia.com. We want to talk.

Linda - great to hear from you. We're just curious. What exactly are you praying for? Inquiring minds want to know. Then we talk schedules and the Fourth of July. Are you a night owl, or a Karen? Tune in and you'll hear even more roleplaying. Perhaps a trend, I do detect.

Speaking of trends, we do have an announcement - all roads lead to YouTube. It's time to finally put cameras in the… studio.

"Hey Jim, it's Donna." You know what, let's grab a milkshake. 7704646024.

Not embarrassed. Grab and grip. Jul 05, 2022

Donna opens the show with both a shoutout to Olivia for her birthday this week and by reminiscing on kids getting older, not having as much time for mom, and just in general the circle that is life. It goes by in a flash and everyone should enjoy every second of it – especially with your babies.

Casey Motter has been the voice of the Braves at Turner Field and now Truist Park for the last 15 years. Tragically, he passed away in his sleep last week. Caddy and Donna talk about what he meant to so many Georgians and his amazing road to the microphone. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Speaking of baseball…if you are a Braves fan, you probably caught some of Freddie Freeman’s return to Atlanta and all the tears that came with it. Now we come to find out, that some of those tears may have had to do with the news that Freddie did NOT receive information from his agent on the final offer from the Braves. What?!

All that and more on today’s jam packed episode!

Teaser: On the next episode, we are going to talk about what’s going on with the aviation industry. They’re paying people thousands of dollars to book different flights…who is not taking that money?!

Ever been offered money by an airline to rebook? How much? Did you take it? Let us know! Call or text 770-464-6024.

CleanTok and the Car Combs Carousel Jun 30, 2022

It's the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Anyone know what time it is? Neither do we.

It's Fast and the Furious at the Jacks house now. Question is - who plays Nic Cage, and who is Angelina Jolie? You may (not) be surprised. Seriously though, it's about that time when everyone in the house is driving and the garage is getting full. What's a Jack to do?

TikTok and mayonnaise- what do they have in common? They show us things we already know, but just don't want to see. Swipe up and find out in the second segment of today's show.

When you open it up, the first video you see is what's on your mind. Paging Luke Combs…

Then Donna shares an experience she had with a young woman and her baby. It's a harrowing story that will give you a lot to think about, in a few directions. Just be careful and extend a hand where you can.

Do you get involved, or do you keep to yourself? Or, the real question is, are you a narc? Let us know. 7704646024.

Production note: The population of Milton, GA is about 40,000.

"Let me feel the package." Jun 28, 2022

This week on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy has a surprise for Donna. Yes, it backfires on him.

It’s been a busy week in politics. Things can get heated – especially on social media. Donna has a thing or two to say about what’s been going on and gives her advice on how to handle people and friends you don’t agree with. Bottom line: live and let live, folks.

Also, you may have heard on the pod last week Donna mention the 2nd time Caddy was fired. You may have though, huh? When else did Caddy get fired? Well, there is a story. Technically, he did get fired, but not really. Caddy explains.

And of course, as a top 100 podcast on the Apple Podcast Charts in the music & entertainments news categories (thank you listeners), we have some country music updates for our loyals. One of which reminds Caddy of New Years Eve 2004. You won’t want to miss this one.

We love our pod peeps. Have something you want to ask Caddy or a story to tell? Text or call 770-464-6024.

Where the bedside manner gets a little off Jun 23, 2022

It's Groundhog Day here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Are you someone who is regularly late, or early? Donna has been late, lately, and it's getting old early. Maybe? I don't know. Groundhog. We talk panhandling, Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift at the beginning of the show. What's the commonality with all three? Street weeks.

Then we cover the pigs. Piggies, to be exact. Where did the saying come from? Caddy just found out and, well, he went all the way home. Caddy has some bedside manner. Donna thinks he could have a lot more. So about 17 minutes into the show, they roleplay.

The last bit of the show is spent talking about dreams. Where do they come from, what do they mean and how much does it have to do with your tallywhacker. Hit some pod peeps on the way out and that's the show.

How often sleep on your stomach? Let us know. 7704646024.

Cadillac Jack threw Taylor Swift a prom Jun 21, 2022

On today's episode of the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast, we've got Taylor Swift stories.

But first, Father’s Day was Sunday and we kick off the show talking a little bit about what it means to different people. Some people no longer have their fathers in their lives, for whatever reason, and Donna talks about what that’s like, too. She lost her dad in 1998 and for her, Father’s Day is a reminder of how much she misses him and wishes she could talk to him again and get his advice.

About 16 years ago, Taylor Swift came out with her debut single, entitled Tim McGraw. Caddy talks about the T-Swift he got to know back then, and the special event he put on for her when she came by the radio station. In fact, Taylor, who was home schooled and didn’t have a typical high school experience, was actually given a “prom” complete with tiara, dancing and flowers. It’s an event she reminds him about anytime she sees him.

We also get to check in with one of our Pod Peeps, April. We always appreciate talking to all of you that support the podcast and make it possible through your loyal listenership. Thank you!

What do you remember most about your prom? Any funny stories! Tell us! Text or call 770-464-6024.

This is a boy. He has a penis. My god! Jun 16, 2022

A lot to cover on today’s jam packed episode of The Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast.

But first…it’s hot. Too hot. And Donna shut all the vents in the vents in the house because the ants are taking over. Or are they? Are we losing our minds?!

We’ve also had a Richard the Beaver sighting…we think. Donna pulled over (after some jerk honked at her to speed up) to check in on old Richard and make sure she got a peak at the paddle tooth. Were those baby beavers with him? Wait, do beavers nurse?

As you have probably heard by now, the verdict on Todd and Julie Chrisley verdict is in. Caddy gets texts from time to time when the episode of Chrisley Knows Best that he appears on re-airs on TV. Yes, they are friends, and no, this verdict will not affect their friendship. Caddy and Donna talk about what its like to stick with people through thick and thin and what Julie texted Donna after Caddy had his heart attack.

Did anyone crash your wedding? If so, we want to hear about it. You’ll find why on Tuesday’s pod. Tune in! Text or call with your story: 770-464-6024.

Maximize, minimize, what's the difference? Jun 14, 2022

It's statistics day here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast, so, grab your calculator and tune in.

We go through some survey responses and are pretty thrilled to see how many folks are with us. Miss the questions? Sign up for the next ones by calling 7704646024 after 2 am on any weekday.

Donna is having some tech problems and it's double-deodorant weather. At the same time, there are new iced coffees at Starbucks and Sally is still going to the dog park. So, it's been a toss up week.

Roundabouts are being built all over the place and new drivers hit the road every day (cough cough). So we do turn to a quick PSA about safe road practices before pivoting into Caddy's latest pullover. (Unrelated.)

Then some folks chimed in about Airtags and how to really get away with cheating. Other folks were going to phone in, too, but they haven't been heard from since. (Fish just aren't biting today, huh?)

Lastly, the largest jump in Billboard history. Or at least, in Cadillac Jack's memory of the Billboard hot 100.

We just have one question to leave you with- what do you got what do you got? Let us know at 7704646024.

How to tie a knot at the end of a rope Jun 09, 2022

Stretch your imagination for this firey episode of the My Second Act podcast. Unfortunately for Cadillac Jack, it did NOT earn a triple E rating.

First we talk about The Top 10 Ways to Catch Your Spouse Cheating (and the best way to get away clean). Then on an entirely unrelated note, lets just say that Donna has a thing for badges. So much so that she's hunting for an investigation at the Alpharetta police station- or is it City Hall?

Then we move on to SNL, Kim Kardashian and the real definition of BDE.

And to fulfill our designation as a semi-music podcast we take a step back in time to November 2020, to hear about the wink and why Donna was the only one who caught it. Turns out Joanna Cotten gave the show a little more of a hint than anyone realized. Tune in and hear just exactly how she slipped in the names, and clues, for an Eric Church triple album.

Did you get your confirmation notice for The Letter? Let us know. 7704646024.

Heartburn and diarrhea Jun 07, 2022

Across the pond, a long way from the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast studio, the Brits are celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee and Donna has the 411 on who was there, who wasn’t and all the juicy gossip. Were Harry and Meghan there? Who performed? Find out.

In other news, Donna has been bestowed the honor of Sultan of Soda. By now, you probably know how Donna loves all her apps and loyalty points. Well, it’s finally paid off and now she will not have to worry about where she’ll get a drink on a hot day this summer.

Have you seen Top Gun yet? Caddy refuses to go, but Donna and Charlotte saw it over the weekend and say it was amazing. They may even go back. The film paid homage to the original, including one scene that Donna is still talking about. You might be able to guess which one…

The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial has FINALLY wrapped up, and Caddy and Donna are here for you to fill you in. Who won? What did we learn? What’s next for the loser(s)?

All that and more on today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Thanks for tuning in!

Want to send us a note? Maybe send Caddy a HAPPY BIRTHDAY message?! Text or call 770-464-6024.

I was high…on adrenaline Jun 02, 2022

On Cadillac Jack – My Second Act, we figure out who exactly gets to keep those graduation banners at the front of everyone’s neighborhoods. Can you go cut your kid’s name off of it or is it more of a first come, first served situation. Donna needs to know. Pictures must be had and Nana is waiting.

Caddy and Donna talk about the difference between Memorial and Veterans Day, and why people just don’t get the difference. It seems to have gotten better in recent years, with people recognizing the solemn nature of Memorial Day, but its still not a time for fireworks and barbeques.

Executive Producer Carl Appen joins the show to talk a little bit about Appen Media’s public safety news coverage, and more specifically, to tell Donna how he can and cannot help her figure out what a bunch of kids were doing with a rope in the woods.

Have you ever tried to donate something to Goodwill and they turned you down? Donna has. Multiple times. Find out what she tried to donate and what sneaky work around she tried to get the unwanted items out of the trunk of her car.

How do you honor those who have lost their lives in defense of our country? We’d love to hear it. Text or call 770-464-6024.

Tug touches Clay Walker’s balls May 31, 2022

Country music superstar Clay Walker joins the show. He and Caddy talk baby formula shortages, discovering artists on TikTok and much more. Great conversation and a great person.

Caddy and Donna have more stories to tell about commencement addresses and the amazing surprise gifts some of these speakers bring with them. Of note, Joe Gebbia, Airbnb and Georgia native had an expensive gift to give this year’s graduates of Brookwood High School in Gwinnett County.

Has anyone ever knocked on your door, naked, and asked you for directions? Well, Caddy and Donna haven’t either, but they think the idea is a good one for meeting any new neighbors. Sound too weird to have actually happened? Well, you’d be wrong.

Have you ever been present when someone lived out their childhood dream in real time? It happened to Caddy this Saturday afternoon when he got a chance to watch Georgia’s own Michael Harris II lace them up for the Atlanta Braves. A native of Henry County, his childhood dream was to play for the Braves and his mom and dad got to see the moment in person.

If you were a billionaire, what gift, other than money, would you give students at a commencement ceremony? Text or call 770-464-6024.

Read the horizon, hubbies. May 26, 2022

This is Cadillac Jack: My Second Act and we'd like to talk about inches. One inch, in particular.

Don't wait to hear what needs to be done. Just leave your husband! Just kidding. Learn how to read the horizon, hubbies.

If you have student debt, this is the episode for you. Taylor Swift gave a commencement speech last week at NYU and she may have good news.

On a related note, how many cords did you graduate with? Stolls? Stools? Who had more- Caddy or Donna? The answer may (not) surprise you. But really, it's graduation season and we all have a lot of feelings about it.

We'd also like to know a bit about Florida, and Georgia, and the Line that divides them. So that conversation contributes to our designation as a semi-music podcast.

It can only get better form here. Right? 7704646024.

Kenny Chesney: Adorable little pirate May 24, 2022

At the last minute, Donna got tickets to see Kenny Chesney play at Mercedes Benz Saturday night. She and Charlotte had a blast and stayed until the very end. Caddy and Donna reminisce on Kenny’s career, their storied history following it, and all of his accomplishments and money made along the way.

It’s election day in Georgia! If you have not voted early already, make sure to head to the polls and cast your vote for this November’s nominees.

People have been engaged with this Amber Heard/Johnny Depp trial far more than they have been just about anything else going on in the world. Caddy and Donna talk about this insane trial and all the latest shenanigans.

Kenny Chesney almost always brings up a fan on stage to mark their first concert ever. Who was the first artist YOU saw live and in person? Let us know! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Private parts on private property May 19, 2022

Grab Captain Lee, Kate and Eddie the Bosun. We're under way here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

If you don't hear anything else from this podcast, hear this: we want you to fail. Well, sorta. Donna and Caddy have some advice about learning through failure, setbacks and stalls. It's all inspired by Pinkie Cole (the CEO of Slutty Vegan) and her inspirational speech last week for Clark Atlanta University's commencement ceremony.

Caddy and Donna spend a few minutes with Johnny Cash's privates and the Billboard Music Awards. Unlike the BMAs, they might surprise you. Then Matt Griffin, CEO of Action Wrestling, comes back on the show to talk about Cadillac Jack's upcoming debut. (Caddy has questions about wiggle room.)

It's a short, sweet and slightly melodic episode. Take a listen, then let us know what you think. 7704646024.

Shake it, jerk it and the nuts will come out. May 17, 2022

It’s Horoscope Hour with Donna Choate on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. She gives all of you loyal listeners an update on the status of Mercury retrograde in 2022 and what it means for your lives and the decisions in front of you.

Also, was it a fart, or wasn’t it? Caddy clears the air on the internet joke about some supposed passed wind of a witness at the Amber Heard/Johnny Depp trial.

Perhaps most importantly, Caddy brought props. Listen to the tale of his adventure with a plastic fork, a trip to Home Depot, and the dry full of acorns. And make sure to watch for The Letter this weekend for some visual evidence.

Updates on the All-American Red, White & Blue Parking Lot Party THIS Saturday at Gallery Furniture! We hope to see you there. 1600 Browns Bridge Road, Gainesville.

All that and more on this episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast!

Will you be at the Parking Lot Party this Saturday? Let us know! We’d ove to see you there. Text or call 770-464-6024.

That's one way to win over a jury. May 12, 2022

Hell of an episode here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. The 253rd, to be exact.

First off, it's important for you to know that we're bad with names. Like, really bad. You should also know that David Letterman is terrified. Just not terrified enough to win over the jury by fessing up to some cheese. (Just listen. It'll make sense.)

Dolly Parton has cashed out. Cadillac and Donna Jack explain how, and why no one can blame her. (Here's a hint: Pizza, with beans, no meat. Add fire sauce.)

And the final segment of the show is with pod peep Melissa Gibson. Melissa, her husband Tony, and their family have an incredibly powerful story to tell. Melissa calls in and talks to the Jacks about the importance of children safety and why CPR is such a crucial, life-saving, life-altering skill. Melissa - We so appreciate your strength and willingness to spread such an important message.

No CTA here. Just a number. 7704646024.

“They just want to be with a cougar.” May 10, 2022

Happy (belated) Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! Especially all the moms listening to Cadillac Jack - My Second Act today. Just for you, Donna has a Mother’s Day shopping story about a man she ran into that just…didn’t get it.

Donna’s summer smash hit is going viral. What’s even better than your first big single going viral? Swag. That’s right. Details on You’ve Been Cooter Browned t-shirts coming soon. Get them while they’re hot! We’re talking about the t-shirts.

Tributes are coming out left and right for Naomi Judd. She was a superstar and a world renowned. Keith Urban is on his European Tour and just paid tribute to her in Manchester City. Will her family still go on their planned tour this fall? Caddy and Donna discuss.

All that and more on today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act!

What kind of swag would you want to see wrapped in some Cooter Brown? T-shirt? Mug? Hat? Text or call 770-464-6024 and we may just hook you up!

Us cougars need love too May 05, 2022

It's the perfect conversations of dang, fun and hard conversations here on this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Naomi Judd has passed and it sparks a lot of throught-provoking questions. Caddy and Donna cover them all, including how Ashley and Wynonna Judd have sparked some controversy from it all.

CEO of Action Wrestling Matt "The Mouth" Griffin calls into the show to answer some questions, and unfortunately, not give Caddy his WrestleMania name. (We're still taking suggestions.)

And we do return to our regularly-scheduled programming. By that of course we mean Donna's newest song, and all the cougars involved. Fan? Let us know. 7704646024.

Happy 250th birthday, My Second Act! May 03, 2022

WELCOME to the 250th episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast.

It’s hard to believe Caddy and Donna are 250 episodes in and still haven’t killed one another. They work tirelessly to give you – their loyal listeners – first class, high quality, entertaining content that is made evident by their frequent appearance in the Apple Podcast Charts “Top 100” in the country.

If you’ve been a listener for a while, then you know that the show can be a roller coaster. You’ve experienced in raw, unfiltered language the really big highs, and really big lows, of a day in the life of Caddy and Donna. They have always made a point to be real about their struggles and successes with parenting, mental health, Covid, the loss of loved ones, and so much more.

On this episode, experience again some of the more memorable moments from the first 250 episodes and hear from a few pod peeps, as well. Also, PT and Ben Burnett stop by to offer their congratulations on this momentous episode.

As always, sit back, relax, and enjoy Cadillac Jack – My Second Act.

The same podcast, 22 different ways Apr 28, 2022

The trial is coming to a close, and I have one question: who keeps the My Second Act podcast?

That's what Johnny Depp *could* be worried about, if he was a part of the show that everyone is already talking about. The good news is that he isn't, and we're giving away some concert tickets to celebrate.

We have a real issue with anti-slap laws. No, sorry, anti-SLAPP laws. (Leave it to California to try and back the Depp.) Cadillac and Donna Jack fill in the gaps about SLAPP, forensic evaluations and what you need to know to rip off Jon Pardi. (We're looking at you, Tim.) We also know a thing or two about forensic evaluations, and Cadillac and Donna Jack Then we talk about forensic evaluations and what Cadillac and Donna Jack know about them.

Some miscellaneous notes from the show, down here in the show notes:

We keep it hot in the house
Spend time alone in misery
It's important for some people (men and women) to go shirtless
Work on yourself
Did you know you can put a call on hold?
Tim McGraw has stories to tell

And last but not least, a reminder of the hill that I'll die on: Cadillac Jack is a child actor. - EP Carl

“Hugging, reaching around, all of it.” Apr 26, 2022

After we get a rundown on Donna’s childhood softball team, her creepy coach and the free Dairy Queen they were entitled to, the show finally dives in to the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial.

Mixed emotions on this one. Donna explains that a different version of herself, maybe even just a pre-Covid version, would have been obsessed with this trial. But now it all seems just kind of…sad. She and Caddy dive into the component that marriage therapy has played, and give their own personal experiences there, too.

Kenny Chesney is back! Well, at least on a stage. Caddy gives a recap on his latest tour and his big name opening acts, including a surprise pop up concert from one, Old Dominion.

Is it still OK to use Covid as an excuse to get out of something? Well, in more country music news, Caddy teases a topic for Thursday’s episode where an artist’s answer to the question is a resounding “no.”

The Red, White and Blue All-American Parking Lot Party is Saturday, 5/21. Jonathan Ingram. Ninja Pig BBQ. Great deals and giveaways! You won’t want to miss it. Gallery Furniture, 1600 Browns Bridge Road, Gainesville.

And don’t forget to check out this Saturday’s The Letter for details on how to win a 6 pack of concert tickets in celebration of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act’s 250th episode.

Oh no no, the Italian Dallas Apr 21, 2022

Another day another dollar on the My Second Act podcast. Cadillac and Donna Jack kick off the show with a list of tasks you have to do as a parent. Interestingly, a walk of shame is one of them. Just not the kind of walk you're imagining.

Then we go on to talk about how unique Cadillac Jack is. It's very unique. As in- top 2 percentile. Or is it percent? Why don't you ask Caddy, the grammar king?

And Connor Jack Oswald has been found, safe and alive. It's a relief for most- but Caddy and Donna have questions.

Finally, it's time for us to talk about Dallas. No, the other Dallas. The good Dallas. And come somebody get those dogs? Let us know. 7704646024.

"People love dirty." Apr 19, 2022

Have you ever listened back to some of your favorite songs from the 80’s and I mean REALLY listened to them? Well, recently Donna has, and she doesn’t remember them being so dirty! Some of them were just down right…filthy. Listen to find out which ones in particular.

Also, Donna has a story about her days wearing the Easter Bunny costume for some photos, mostly sober.

Donna from Gallery Furniture joins the show again real quick for an update to the Wolfman Look-A-Like contest! We hope to see you at the All American Red, White, and Blue Parking Lot Party on Saturday, May 21st. See you there! Gallery Furniture, 1600 Browns Bridge Road, Gainesville.

An update on Donna’s hit country song writing career and much, much more on today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act.

The only fan-voted podcast Apr 14, 2022

Drop your socks and head to Hill Valley. It's back to the future on Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Somebody told Kane Brown you can only host CMT Awards two years in a row. We are… not going to correct him. (Because he's too calming.) Regardless, we do want to know how much of Monday's show was pre-recorded. Spoiler alert: it's probably more than we all expect.

Then Donna talks about how to handle turbulence, whether it's on a plane or in a family. It's a serious, sentimental segment. So naturally, we go straight from there into why one pod peep "is 99% sure she saw the beaver."

The show ends with an interview that you may have heard before. Or at least, you may recognize the voices. Watch for the changes and try to keep up. Then write your own plinko and send it our way. 7704646024.

Get down, turn around, pop your Cooter Brown. Apr 12, 2022

On today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act, things get a little spicy when Donna gives us a preview of the country song she’s writing.

But first, hear about her trip down to 30A for spring break. It was packed, of course, with teenie boppers and their bike, but more importantly you are going to want to hear more about the meal Donna ate. Every day. For the entire trip.

Is Fauci throwing in the towel? Caddy says it sure sounds like it. It’s been a long road since February 2020 when Caddy introduced the world to Covid-19 (on the podcast) with the now infamous episode “Death starts at $269.”

A few weeks ago Donna announced that she is writing the next hit country song and we have an update for you. If you’re lucky, you might even get a little preview. Tune in!

What is one food you could eat 4 days in a row? Text or call 770-464-6024 to let us know. We’d love to hear from you.

I saw the beaver Apr 07, 2022

It's Masters Week in Augusta, which means that we, as always, are home. Tune in and you just might see the beaver.

Caddy and Donna spend the evening cleaning up a few loose ends. Richard the Beaver is back on Hopewell. A third cat is in the house. You asked some more questions about the Grammy's, so we answered them. What's the difference between Song of the Year and Record of the Year? When is the window of eligibility? How do you get nominated? All those and more get answers to satisfy our classification as a Semi-Music Podcast.

To wrap up the show, Donna takes the stage. She gives six minutes of really heartfelt thoughts on Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the United States Supreme Court. In all seriousness, it's not something to miss. It's even worth listening to 51 minutes of Caddy to get there. Let us know when you make it through. 7704646024.

Lock your bike at Pickles! Apr 05, 2022

The Kardashians are back! Did they retire or didn’t they? Who knows. But Donna (and Carl) are stoked.

Well, the Grammys weren’t quite as eventful and buzz worthy as the Oscars were, but they sure did still pack a punch. Donna and Caddy hit all their highlights and go over some of the big winners.

Spring breakers everywhere got off to a rough spot when hundreds of flights were canceled Saturday. Delta was shuttling hundreds of people all the way down to Atlanta to put them up in hotels. What the heck are these people supposed to do if they have a cruise departing Ft. Lauderdale Sunday morning?!

Listening to the show on Spring Break? Have any crazy stories? We want to hear about them! Text or call 770-464-6024.

Dr. Frank and the Mormon Rumspringa Mar 31, 2022

Strap up and tune in for this wild ride of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Cadillac and Donna Jack really stir the pot on this episode of My Second Act. Donna finds out she's been eating… something that people shouldn't eat. Caddy calls foul between Mr. Smith and Mr. Washington. Then we all joke off together and decide who provided the best Oscars aftermath.

The show takes a turn when it gets to The Big Segment. We have a pod peep call in to talk about partner pet peeves. (Say that three times). Here's the catch: she wasn't the only one on the line. What do you like least about your loved one? Let us know. 7704646024.

The slap heard round the world Mar 29, 2022

Get your fill of the latest news in entertainment on this episode of The Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Get Caddy and Donna’s takes on the Will Smith slap and the passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

First off, Donna is going to need a bookie. She has moved past her digi-games, but she’s ready to put down a bet or two. Problem is, every time she tries, she finds out she can’t. Because it’s illegal. So if you know of a bookie in the north Atlanta metro, help her out.

Wow, what a mess Will Smith has got himself into. By now you have heard about or seen the slap heard round the world at this year’s Oscars presentation. Will Smith lost his cool when host and comedian Chris Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett, and a medical condition she has. He hopped on stage and slapped an unexpecting Rock, who continued the show a bit shaken. Hear Caddy and Donna’s take on the whole fiasco.

Legendary drummer and member of the Foo Fighters band, Taylor Hawkins, was found dead in his hotel room at the age of 50. He had several drugs in his system according to preliminary toxicology reports, but we still don’t know the whole story. Caddy and Donna talk about the struggle of addiction and the family he leaves behind.

It’s a heavy show at times, but it’s real talk and what you have come to expect and love from these guys. Need someone to talk to or just to brighten your day? Send Caddy a text or give him a call. He’d love to chat. Seriously. 770-464-6024.

Shake your shack Mar 24, 2022

Today's Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is a podcast where we talk about trends, pop culture, music and whatever we decide to talk about. Wait- that's every show.

Donna has the inside scoop on Alpharetta's latest trendy restaurant. And we're not talking about Nobu (yet). It's built up quite an appetite, too. Did somebody say JB's Pickles? We want you to think about your loved one and then tell us the one habit of theirs that you ha-, desp-, actually, never mind.

We also hear from the CBS Darling, Trevor Noah. And we *try* to hear from Kanye, but he was locked out. Too soon? Let us know. 7704646024.

"Is that a liquor…or a body fluid?" Mar 22, 2022

It’s a no holds barred type of episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, with stories from the ditch outside Atlanta Motor Speedway and the bush next to Donna’s mailbox the morning of a neighborhood estate sale.

Charlotte got sick, and I am talking REALLY sick (including all over Donna’s car). She is feeling better, but not until Donna took her punishment for oversleeping for the carpool line.

Caddy is not a big fan of the new Ga 400/285 updates, but then, who is? The exits are literally changing locations and it is throwing Caddy for a loop. Get it? And Donna explains that how her directional skills are entirely contingent on knowing which way Chattanooga is.

The interstate dilemma was preceded by a trip to Atlanta Motor Speedway and Caddy observed a Fold of Honor. A Fold of Honor is DEFINITELY not what Donna thought it was. The trip brought back some memories for Caddy though, or lack thereof, and he reminisces about waking up in a ditch. Or a ravine. Not sure.

All that and MUCH more on today’s jam packed episode of My Second Act!

This episode is dedicated to Pod Peep Jason Williamson.

What's the most embarrassing place you woke up "the next morning?" We want to know! Text or call at 770-464-6024.

“You love Doritos.” Mar 17, 2022

Caddy and Donna discuss Russia and Ukraine and some of the amazing acts of kindness and heroism that the world has seen despite the terrible situation. One item that came up in conversation, however, was what Caddy would be willing (or able) to do should he find himself in a similar situation? Listen to find out his answer.

Tom Brady is unretiring? Apparently so. Giving hope to all 40+ people out there that your NFL dreams are not dead yet!

Doritos will soon be about 5 ounces lighter than they have been, and Caddy – an enthusiast – is not happy about it. And apparently they are not the only company cutting product quantities to combat high inflation costs of production.

You might remember a recent episode where Caddy and Donna discuss the merits of Dolly Parton’s nomination into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In the end, its not going to matter as she has officially withdrawn her name from consideration. It’s a classy move, and she may end up in the Hall when all is said in done, but for now at least the issue is a mute point.

Tug joins the show! The country music and Braves media mogul chats the Freddie Freeman/Matt Olson news, how Braves fans everywhere are reacting, and what Tug thinks about the A’s organization. Tune in!

What is your favorite kind of Doritos chip? Let us know by dropping us text or call at 770-464-6024.

Caddy gets heckled Mar 15, 2022

Caddy gets down to Brightmoor to play some songs on the piano for the old folks. Sure, he may be a little rusty, but have you ever heard of someone getting booed playing Amazing Grace? Well, now, Caddy has. Listen for his reaction. Can you imagine being an American up on the International Space Station, surrounded by a bunch of Russians who are threatening to leave you there? Well, that is the situation right now for astronaut Mark Vande Hei, who might be getting a little nervous right now. Who can blame him?!

Mark Coogler, Director of the box office hit ‘Black Panther,’ was arrested in February at a Bank of America while attempting to withdraw $12,000 cash from his account. He was a customer, and wrote on a withdrawal slip that he wanted the teller to be discreet. Who was in the wrong? Did the teller have good reason to be nervous? Did Bank of America do the right thing? Caddy and Donna discuss.

And Donna and Caddy have a very special guest on the phone today! Donna, from Gallery Furniture and long-time supporter of the show, joins to talk shop, kids, and the big parking lot grill out coming up. We love you Donna!

Last but not least, Happy Sweet 16th Char-Char!

We want to know what spring break plans you have with the kids. Let us know by dropping us text or call at 770-464-6024.

Double pump where's the fun? Mar 10, 2022

My name is Cadillac Jack and I prepared a few words before I came up here. We're reinventing ourselves on today's episode of My Second Act.

The Academy of Country Music Awards just happened and we're still recovering. (Chris Stapleton, Eric Church and of course, our boy Morgan Wallen.) If you haven't heard yet, you'll hear the scortchers from Caddy and Donna. And if you're playing Lenny Kravitz in the background, please give us a heads up. Seriously - where is Joana Cotton? If you've seen her, let us know. 7704646024.

I was pretty smart in high school Mar 08, 2022

On the My Second Act today, Cadillac Jack and Donna get into a range of topics from high school pranks and country to music, to Coach K’s last home game and of course – Caddy’s first pro wrestling event.

It’s Junior/Senior Wars time in metro Atlanta. If you don’t know what that is, it’s when all the high school juniors and seniors roll each other’s houses in toilet paper, tear up landscaping, and mess with cars. It started out as an innocent way to prank each other, but has progressed into something much more destructive. Caddy and Donna discuss their proposed ground rules.

And of course, we get a full recap from Caddy on his big wrestling exhibition. He’d never been to a pro wrestling match before, and let’s just say he’s hooked. The wrestling, the beer, the yelling and sweating – and all in the name of charity! Caddy promises to be back soon, and bring you dear listeners more stories from ringside.

What is the MOST you have ever paid for a ticket to something – sporting event, concert, or otherwise? Call or text 770-464-6024.

Shake a little bit. Get him excited. Mar 03, 2022

It’s a doozy today on the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast. Caddy and Donna talk about a dad who jumped into a bull ring to rescue his son from a charging bull. Naturally, the conversation led to Donna asking Caddy if he would do the same for her. Let’s just say Caddy you got the answer wrong. Twice. Find out what he said.

You have never heard a first-date-gone-bad story like the one Caddy is going to tell you here today. What would you do if your date, someone you barely know, jumped on the freeway and started going 140 mph?

So, Caddy has some hesitations about this whole pickleball idea. He has some info for Donna in the hopes that she may reconsider him big plan to master the hardcourt with Laura. Hear her response.

Tell us about your worst first date. We’d love to hear about it. Call or text 770-464-6024.

We are going to write a country song Mar 01, 2022

Donna checks out Euphoria on HBO and she’s obsessed. However, she wouldn’t recommend it for someone with teenage kids. Caddy and Donna discuss what it implies about this generation of kids and the challenges it has that they didn’t have growing up.

Jana Kramer has released a new song for her kids that explains why she and her husband Mike Caussin split up. Caddy and Donna talk about what the limits should be for a public figure – musician or otherwise – to air their personal grievances in public.

An update on Donna’s ax throwing party! This is part of Donna’s one-new-thing-a-month initiative. Get out all your aggression and anxiety and come join. Details to come.

What’s one new thing you are going to do in 2022? Let us know. Call or text 770-464-6024.

Two mixed doubles and a shot in the back Feb 24, 2022

It's a very special behind-the-scenes episode of My Second Act. Brian Mansfield calls in to talk about the ACM awards, Dolly Parton, Morgan Wallen, The Chicks and, of course, Dolly Parton. The executive editor of Country Insider has a few things to say about the inside of Nashville and the Jacks are all ears. Tune in to hear about it all, then meet us on the court for a match. And if you have any extra pickles, let us know. 7704646024.

(Production note: Carl accepts both the tennis AND pickleball challenges. And he'll bring more heat than Ben.)

Donna breaks the refrigerator Feb 22, 2022

It's a rollercoaster today on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast.

First off, Donna details the great broken refrigerator saga that involved a Dairy Queen blizzard that was very mysteriously quite warm. Caddy even got out of bed to observe and supervise.

Next up, Caddy details his trip to Athens with friend of the show Ben Burnett to see a Jason Aldean concert/political fundraiser for Lieutenant Governor candidate Burt Jones. It was only the second show Aldean has done since October and damn did it feel good to get out of the house.

The Winter Olympics Russian figure skating doping scandal made for great fodder on the show, too. All that and much, much more on today’s episode!

What was the last concert you went to and when? We want to know. Call or text 770-464-6024.

Between a hill and a hard place Feb 17, 2022

Donna can't mind her own business and Cadillac Jack goes cold. It's a Back to the Future here on the My Second Act podcast.

We start off MSA with a recap of Donna's trip to Arkansas. It was a college visit- maybe the mildest campus tour in the Jack history. Then there's a lot about (mistaken) Valentine's candy, a bit about Hoda and what happens when Caddy stays home alone for the first time in 9 years.

(Quick relatable content here)

Oh, and by the way, we're changing the name of the show. Let us know what you think. 7704646024.

Corey Crowder joins the show Feb 15, 2022

It’s a country music rundown on this week’s episode of My Second Act. Corey Crowder joins Donna and Caddy on My Second Act to talk about TikTok, what record labels are looking for, Tyler Rich and more.

Caddy and Donna also go over the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards nominations. They touch on the highlights, the snubs and predictions.

Thoughts on this year's snubs? Let us know! Call or text 770-464-6024.

Hell no, it's not for sale Feb 10, 2022

Turns out no one over 19 watches… sports… on their phone. Donna has had a real hard time getting some tape on her phone and at the store. Cadillac Jack is there to help. So is the AT&T guy.

There's another section of great news, too. We are happy to announce the launch of Donna and Cadillac's 1/4-unit fractional ownership timeshare condominium in Punta Cana. (Vegas was booked.)

To fulfill our obligation as a semi-music podcast, we also cover Luke Combs, the Capital-Radio strife and a few other Spotify sweeps. Dustin Lynch has some new tunes out today, so Caddy phones a friend from Nashville and the Dustin Lynch camp. (Production note: if you're in Nashville, or any other industry camps, please do not listen to this episode. Also do not crawl it for your artist's intellectual property. Or copyright. Just… just don't listen to this episode.)

Then we talk about manhole covers. So strap on your helmet, stick a finger under your chin, and head out to the garage. Then let us know if you're alright. 7704646024.

“It’s dead. Alright, next topic.” Feb 08, 2022

On the show today, we find out one of Donna’s life goals is to spot one of the cars from one of those dreaded iPhone “Amber Alerts” we get on our phones. She wants to chase him down and tail him until the police can arrive, and honestly, we hope she gets her wish.

The Super Bowl is this weekend! It is being broadcast on NBC, sandwiched in between Olympics coverage. Can you imagine how much bank they are making from selling advertising this weekend and what their TV ratings are going to look like?

Dolly Parton is a nominee this year to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the only country music artist who made the cut. If inducted, Dolly would be only the second woman with membership in both the Country Music and Rock Halls of Fame, after Brenda Lee.

And in just plain bizarre news, a brawl broke out at a Golden Corral after it ran out of steak. Caddy has news coverage of the event. It doesn’t disappoint.

All that, and much more, on today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act.

Does Dolly Parton belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Let us know what you think. Call or text us at 770-464-6024.

Mow your own grass Feb 03, 2022

Does Apple really need to know when we are driving? Or how much we WEIGH? Caddy is not a big fan of the new Apple update and, generally, of technology. Plus, Donna has an idea for a new app that Caddy does not approve of.

Caddy plays some of his interview with Steve Hollman, voice of the Atlanta Hawks, where they talk about Trae Young’s recent nod to start in the All-Star game and NBA replacement players. He also may or may not have committed to a tattoo.

All that, and much more, on today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act.

Thoughts on the show? Question for Caddy or Donna? Call or text us at 770-464-6024.

What vacation bible school is really about Feb 01, 2022

The Super Bowl matchup has been set: it’s Bengals vs. Rams in California with an incredible lineup for the halftime show. Donna will have her eyes on the sidelines in the hopes of getting a glimpse of Rams coach Sean McVay doing whatever he does on those whiteboard.

And speaking of football…Tom Brady retired. Or did he? Donna and Caddy give a rundown on exactly what happened and what we still don’t know. Giselle is involved in the shenanigans, we think.

We included a little teaser in the last show when Caddy asked Donna to think about which one segment or episode of the My Second Act library of podcasts she wised had never happened. She’s thought about and has an answer for you.

All that and much, much more on today’s episode of Cadillac Jack - My Second Act!

Thoughts on the show? Question for Caddy or Donna? Call or text us at 770-464-6024.

…with Dickey and Tainter Jan 27, 2022

Grab your lover, smell your leather, it's time for a Second Act Special. Today on Cadillac Jack: My Second Act, the gloves come off. Caddy and Donna talk a lot about having grace while raising kids, when to ask for what you need, and their upcoming trip to Vegas. (Roll with me on that last part)

Plus, Charlotte pops into the studio (room) to check in on her parents. You'll hear what it means to have your folks in the house, on the sidelines and fresh out of the guilt trap. Sound familiar? Thanks to T-Mobile, you can let us know. 770-464-6024.

Tim didn’t have a whole lot to say Jan 25, 2022

By now you have probably heard about the West Virginia TV reporter who was hit live.on.the.air. But what really happened? Is she OK? And why did Tim, back in the studio, act so…chill? Caddy investigated and has answers.

More on Kanye’s diss track on Pete Davidson: What was the line “God saved me from that crash/Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass” all about? What crash? Donna and Caddy revisit Kanye’s 2002 car crash that nearly took his life.

Did the dingo really eat her baby? Maybe. Maybe not. But more importantly, how has Caddy never heard this before? Or watched a Seinfeld episode?? Or had a CUP OF COFFEE???

Do us a favor. What is one thing that EVERYONE has done (like watch a Seinfeld episode or had a cup of coffee) that YOU’VE never done? Call us and let us know. 770-464-6024.

Tractor Saddle Jan 20, 2022

Today's podcast is about 50 minutes long. It's one we'd call 'heavy,' in more ways than one. But I assure you it's worth it.

We start with potting up and end with tears on this episode of My Second Act. As Caddy said in the production notes, it has a segment we consider top 3 in the entire 2 years we've been broadcasting. So I'll shut up now and let you listen. (And you can hang around as long as you'd like.)

Share your thoughts with us afterwards at 7704646024.

Separation in the studio Jan 18, 2022

You know when you go through so much build up for something, and then it's not what you expect? Just a whole lot of nothing? Well, on this episode of My Second Act, we relate. Donna and Cadillac Jack had to fight up a mountain of snow to get to the studio today. At least, that's what you'd expect if you were on social media in Atlanta this weekend. In reality they ended up across the room from each other just feeling a little… deflated. It happens. There's a bit of coverage form the weekend and some heartbreaking news out of the city. Then we move to time tequila and therapy, three of producer Carl Appen's favorite things. (Tune in about 34 minutes in and you'll hear his other favorite thing: funk beds over an advertisement.) Then Kelsey Albertini calls in to share with the show about her journey to be the 'crying sax girl.' By that we of course mean the famous Red Coater who made it big during last week's Georgia game. Needless to say, we're all big fans. Have a similar story? Wish you did? Give us a call. 7704646024. [Programming note: if you work in the contracts department of UGA Athletics, the NCAA or ESPN, do not listen to this episode.]

Cross-pollination and dismissive personalities Jan 13, 2022

We go for a few plane flights on today's episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Delta, American, omicron, we're all just working together.

It's a dense show, where Caddy and Donna cover all things from peanut butter to the seriousness of facing down addiction. If there's one thing you listen to this week, let it be this podcast. Then let us know what you think. 7704646024.

DAWGS ON TOP Jan 11, 2022

It's a Dawg Eat Dawg world here on the My Second Act podcast. Cadillac and Donna Jack stayed up real late to record this episode for y'all. How about you return the favor, pull up a stool (not that one, Dolly) and tune in. Afterwards, let us know how many cars you flipped. No, not you Tug. 7704646024.

So long, PT. Jan 06, 2022

No, he’s not dead. But he is going away. Today we say goodbye to the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act producer, Preston Thompson.

First, Caddy and Donna have decided against what would undoubtedly become a family trip to the Dominican Republic. Then, Caddy has the whole house smelling and he can’t figure out why. And finally, we mourn the loss of Betty White with a few special clips from her career. Want to get in touch? Call or Text 7704646024.

The 2021 Year In Review Show Jan 04, 2022

We’re celebrating the best moments of 2021 on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act Podcast. We’re also covering a pretty chilled out New Year’s Eve at the Caddy and Donna show, and the Country Music scandals that defined 2021. What was your favorite moment of the show this year? Let us know. 7704646024.

Little Giants Dec 30, 2021

There’s a lot of talk about John Madden on this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Well, John Madden and (chicken) breasts. Tune into this show instead of the SEC Network and we’ll strike a deal. Plus, listen to the end for an Easter egg. Really, we should call it an easter segment. Subtle much? Goooooo Dawgs!

The podcast you’re already talking about Dec 28, 2021

It’s the post-Christmas blues here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We’re live from Studio Blue as Donna and Cadillac Jack talk emojis, domain traffic, and the Christmas surprise we all needed to hear. Tune in and tune out. Then give us a call. 7704646024.

I took my fogger down to Hampton. Dec 23, 2021

Caddy ran into some trouble on his most recent Caddy Claus stop and frankly he’s lucky to be back in the studio in one piece. That story on today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack: My Second act Podcast.

It’s the college admissions season and Donna has an update on the family. Then, Ben Affleck got into some hot water this past week. We discuss. We spend a few minutes remembering Senator Johnny Isakson who sadly passed away last week. Give us a call: 7704646024.

“My Life in the Far Right Lane with the Truckers.” Dec 21, 2021

Donna’s not feeling herself today, she’s about to man-handle a doctor for her fix. We’re sure in part it had to do with Caddy and Donna’s trip home this past weekend. You don’t want to miss the story.

Did you forget your ham? We’ve got your back. Caddy and Donna went to Church this past weekend and got a peek behind the curtain. But the trip home the next morning was what we on the podcast call a “marriage tester.” Caddy sleeps in full chaos and it’s bothering the family. Then we close with a special pod peep story on Eric Church. Give us a call: 7704646024.

Just don’t be sus, ok? Dec 16, 2021

Google wants you to delete your recent search history, they must know something. Donna says “no problem,” just don’t be so suspect.

Donna kicks off today's show by exposing Caddy’s vision problem that is leading to some very strange text messages. And a bit of advice, being busy all the time is not a good look. That leads us into good general habits of work-life balance and how to be present with who you’re with. It’s the Christmas season, so we’re recapping the stories of the magical elf that dashes around our house every year. Has the “Elf on the Shelf” gotten into any holiday trouble in your home? Let us know. 7704646024.

“Hope this baby fires up!” Dec 14, 2021

Cadillac Jack is a Karen and this episode runs raw. We limited the editing on this show to only the legally-obligated cuts. (That’s what we call a “Louisiana Libel Special”) Hop in and enjoy this peek behind the curtain of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Go get your cash, grab it while you can. Dec 09, 2021

We kick off today's episode by talking about the phenomenon of sharing your pay. Caddy peels back the curtain on radio and lets you in on the money secrets of the industry. Have thoughts? Let us know. 7704646024.

Google still has not gotten the resources of the podcast back to Caddy, so we’re once again flying by the seat of our pants. Donna’s got some trouble with Christmas Cards but some other families have a solution and it's this episode's word of the day: embargo. The My Second Act team has been extended an invitation to the Winter Podcast Ball, but they’re clearly hiding something. Instagram has been feeling the heat, and they’re making changes. And finally, we recap the mass layoffs from “Better.com.”

Dear Google, it’s me Caddy. Dec 07, 2021

Caddy has been locked out of his entire life, and it’s been a pretty stressful experience. It’s caused him to rethink our entire relationship with technology. The revolution starts today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act Podcast.

Donna is in a period of mourning after that SEC Championship Game, luckily PT isn’t around to gloat. To distract herself, we’re covering the relationship drama of Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian. Then we write the next country hit: “If Freedom Was Your Bread.” And finally we close with some more breaking news on the Cuomo brothers. Have IT advice for Caddy? Let him know. 7704646024.

When have you ever gotten lumber? Dec 02, 2021

Donna is still getting herself hyped up for the SEC Championship this weekend, this time with an offer to become the local lumberjack. But there’s some doubt over whether or not Donna actually knows what lumber is. You learn something new every episode of the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act Podcast.

PT is back, where the hell has he been? Caddy tells us what he’s missed most about radio, spoiler alert: it’s you. Last week Caddy tried to put high schoolers in an active intersection, don’t worry nobody got hurt. Then we add plenty of songs to the Spotify Hype Song Playlist before closing with another edition of Dear Preston. What cover band would you most want to be stranded with? Let us know. 7704646024.

You can’t flip a car with bare hands. Nov 30, 2021

Everyone is on the hunt for tickets to this weekend's SEC Championship Game, and Donna has put together her pitch to take your extra ticket. She’ll be a very nice guest, but a car may get flipped. You’re elite, or you’re nothing.

We’ve got a new word that we can all learn that will undoubtedly make us more self-conscious: cheugy. Then Caddy has a new parenting tip on keeping your car smelling clean on the mountain roads. We venture across the pond for some drama with the Royal Family, before coming back home to cover the drama in Caddy and Donna’s own neighborhood. And finally we close with a little laugh from Fortune Feimster. What was your damage for Cyber Monday? Let us know. Call or Text 7704646024.

Leftover American Pie Nov 27, 2021

It's a few days after Thanksgiving, and just like you we're moving slow here on the My Second Act podcast. So here's the promised Turkey Day special episode. It's full of leftovers, Swifties and two roasted birds. Trust me- it really is better the day after.

Turkey Day Preview: One dead bird and a loaf of bread. Nov 25, 2021

"Hmmm. Looks pretty good to us...."

We wanted to spend a day with our family, just like you. So there's no episode today. Or, is there? How about you just try the bangers and mash and find out.

From us, and Carl, and Preston, and Bun, have a great Thanksgiving.

Have you always lacked empathy? Nov 23, 2021

Donna’s got a horrific injury, Caddy can’t really be bothered to care. It’s a bit of the theme of this episode as our favorite podding couple works through the week's entertainment news and trends.

We’re in need of clean needles to fulfill Donna’s dream, not that kind of dream. It’s kind of amazing what you could get away with at UGA if you didn’t need to study so hard. Then, in honor of thanksgiving we’re revisiting an all-time great SNL skit: The Back Home Baller. Adele has given us a lot of feelings lately, and we close with an update on the new COVID-19 guidance. Want to get in touch with Caddy? Call or text 7704646024.

Double one, double two, double three, rock step. Sep 30, 2021

We’ve got a very special guest this episode that takes Donna through the basics of clogging, because it never hurts to get a little professional advice when you’re trying to win a National Championship. Stay tuned for more on “The Sassy Stompers.”

Give us a chance to get our cloggers wet. Sep 23, 2021

Donna's got a new dream of fame and fortune, but you're gonna have to wait until the end of the episode to hear about it. It's like Pitch Perfect but significantly less entertaining.

We've got another update on Gabby Petito, the young woman whose disappearance has dominated the news for the past several days. Then we have tons of entertainment news to keep that podcast category machine happy. We venture into the world of songwriting, talk about Caddy's new favorite country song that will break your heart, and Phil Collins managing to still tour despite staying mostly seated.

Uncle Joey Oughta Know. Sep 21, 2021

Caddy and PT both have their minds blown about halfway through today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. PT practically had a childhood icon ripped away from him. You won’t want to miss it.

We start this week with a heartbreaking update on the story of Gabby Petito. It prompts a back and forth from Caddy and Donna on the worries and stresses of parenting. On to lighter news: Air Fryers are like skillets, it’s better if you don’t clean them. Rolling Stone has updated their Greatest Songs of All Time list, we discuss. Caddy makes some pretty dangerous assumptions about Reba McEntire, and in the least surprising news of the day Instagram is bad for kids. Finally, the Emmys happened. Does anyone out there still care? Let us know. 7704646024.

Order dessert first, life is very uncertain. Sep 16, 2021

This week we've got another fantastic "Second Act" as we bring in Stephanie Wright, owner of Dinner A'Fare. She's got an inspiring story you'll want to hear.

PT brings in an example of what a good cameo sounds like, and it only upsets Caddy even more. Donna left the house for a whole week and it's a miracle the Choate family is still alive. Caddy stepped up to the plate by downloading a very manly app. Finally we close with an adorable wedding song, a few generous pod peeps, and some talk on whether or not the pandemic is still a valid excuse to not get things done. Have thoughts? Let us know. 7704646024.

But can you play Smoke on the Water? Sep 14, 2021

We’re following up on one of the best “Second Acts” we’ve heard yet. Linda Walker is joining us by phone today to discuss her new gig as a bassist in a local cover band. We’re impressed and you will be too on today’s Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

Caddy raced into the studio today, nobody tell Officer Ritchey. Today we revisit a photo from Caddy’s camera roll that needs some further explanation. Look for the photo itself in your copy of this week's “letter.” Then the most profitable Cameo artist from this past year is someone you’ve probably never heard of. Then we close with some breaking news on the Country Music Awards and Joe Biden's new vaccination effort. Do you have a Second Act? Share it with Caddy. 7704646024.

Check your settings, check yourself. Sep 09, 2021

We’ve got a public service announcement from Donna today: keep it clean. Just be on the lookout everybody, Donna is over it. There are no more excuses, clean it up.

We begin today with a preview of Caddy’s remarks from one of the many 9/11 remembrance events taking place this weekend. We’ll honor our first responders this weekend in Alpharetta, Georgia. Then, did your parents clean up before the cleaners got there? Did they look through their old photos and get a little emotional? We discuss both. Kanye West has a new rival, and it surprises everybody in the studio. And finally we end with a few pod peeps and one glorious second act. Do you have a second act you want to share? Give Caddy a call. 7704646024.

Well...it's called "Call Her Daddy." Sep 07, 2021

Donna would like to change the tone and tenor of the show, but she’s betraying us with another podcast. Would she recommend that other show? Not so fast.

Caddy’s got a fresh perspective on COVID-19 and more specifically, the vaccine. Then we read through Tim McGraw’s recent essay with Esquire magazine and talk about the tough battles he’s fought with an aging career and struggles with addiction. And finally, UGA Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker is running for the United States Senate here in Georgia. We bring in PT to talk about campaigns and how Herschel will be seen by voters. Have thoughts on today’s show? Reach out to Caddy. 7704646024.

Is there a Phil McCracken in the house? Sep 02, 2021

There's something strange happening in Virginia, about a dozen definitely real people all decided to not show up to a school board meeting at the last minute. Mr. Kedick owes us an explanation.

We begin with the news of Hurricane Ida making landfall in Louisiana and the "Cajun Navy" that's been lending a helping hand. You can lend a helping hand with a donation by clicking here. We quickly change topics by remembering old vacations, and Bonaroo is cancelled but not for the reason you thing. PT had a math assignment that probably should come with a content warning, but we close with the biggest news of all: Georgia finally has a Buc-ee's. Are you a hater or a lover of the new hit establishment? Let us know. 7704646024.

"I wonder if it was the luber..." Aug 31, 2021

Is it an Uber? Is it a Lyft? Something strange is happening with the “weiner-mobile” as it traverses across Georgia. Our pod peeps this week provide us with the much needed updates.

Donna is sick and tired of “free range” children. Get it together parents. Caddy wanted to talk about Keith Urban, but Donna steals the segment to pitch a new guest for an upcoming episode of the podcast. The CEO of Delta is having a tough time coming to grips with the new COVID lingo, and we’re checking in on Kanye yet again. Then in our obligatory music news segment of the show, we cover Kasey Musgraves upcoming album. And finally we close today’s show with a story update from Officer Ritchey of “Caddy Wagon” fame and a pod peep pitch at the hit new holiday toy. Want to get in touch? Give us a call. 7704646024.

Don’t think about it, say it. Aug 26, 2021

Buccees has reached Georgia. OnlyFans reversed their ban on sexually explicit content. University of Georgia football is back. All is right in the Cadillac Jack world.

Those are some of the topics covered early in the show before Caddy and Donna move onto more serious topics, like the importance of spending time with your parents. After that, to fulfill our designation as a semi-music podcast, we talk Garth Brooks. And no, Donna isn’t excited about it either. Regardless, Garth Brooks is headed back to America’s dive bars to visit with his “peoples.” Don’t you wish we had a local country station here in Atlanta? RIP. And here’s the tease… Next week we will have Brian Brasher on to talk about music licensing and artists “selling out.” Spoiler alert: they’re not really selling out. Tune in and find out why.

I'm a big fan of waiting for the stink. Aug 24, 2021

It’s a rapid fire show on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast this week as we cover everything from Andrew Cuomo’s potential new gig to the best songs to listen to during a plane crash. In other words, your standard Tuesday episode.

Shows have returned to the Fox Theater, and seeing “Hamilton” over the weekend was a surprisingly emotional experience for Donna. Next, a tradition unlike any other. PSLs are back, baby! Barry Manilow could not be stopped over the weekend, by the sound guy or by mother nature herself. In our obligatory music news of the episode we discuss the delayed tours of Florida Georgia Line and Garth Brooks, before closing the show with the inspirational story of one of Georgia’s finest Dragon Boat racers. Have you had a good experience with one of our show partners? Let us know. 7704646024.

Bushwackers, floaters and a climax in Act 3 Aug 19, 2021

A 320% increase in moms drinking during the pandemic? That’s a lot of Truly’s. There’s a reason we have an Uber dropoff outside the studio these days.

That’s what Donna and Cadillac Jack start off the show covering, at least. From there they smoothly transition into Caddy’s first bush and floater. Then we hit on some musical pro tips, like why buying gear at concerts is so important for supporting artists. And, in the third act, there’s a climax. Stay tuned and strap in.

I'd like to buy the world a Coke, and keep it company. Aug 17, 2021

We start off with a quick recap of Caddy and Donna’s public speaking experience before diving right into the new “Woka-Cola” ad that’s lighting up the airways. We think the old one ad was better on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

It’s Donna’s birthday week just so everyone knows. Be on high alert for the festivities. This week Caddy is taking us down a musical rabbit hole of strong women in Country Music. Then we dive head first into the University of Alabama “Rush” and why it’s trending all over social media this week. Caddy closes us out by sharing his first ever meeting with Mama LeClaire, and it certainly wasn’t their last. What would your walkout song for a public speaking engagement be? Let us know. 7704646024.

Olympic trivia for this week's "You Can't Beat Jack." Aug 12, 2021

We’ve got another thrilling edition of “You Can’t Beat Jack,” a pop-culture trivia show that this time ventures into the Olympics. Can Caddy rebound from his first loss in ages? We’ll find out.

We start off this episode with one of life’s toughest questions. Do you keep up with your exes? Then a letter of recommendation comes from an unlikely source. We’re already off-script as Caddy and Donna dig into the struggles of divorce, but we get back on track as we continue Donna’s review of Luke Bryan’s new documentary series “My Dirt Road Diary.” And right before we close with “You Can’t Beat Jack” we cover the breaking news of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s resignation. Want to be a “You Can’t Beat Jack” contestant? Let us know.7704646024.

Donna broke the pyramid scheme. Aug 10, 2021

Caddy and Donna are offering a quick preview of their inspirational speech on Wednesday, well not really. It’s more about multi-level marketing and selling tupperware.

Donna’s got a new self help routine that requires somebody else to help her. She’s not having any luck with Caddy. Nothing tests a marriage like a joint motivational speaking engagement, in part because Donna has a surprising case of stage fright. We’ve got a quick Facebook fishing today before Caddy runs us through his radio origin story to honor one of the all-time great bands. In the obligatory music news segment, has anyone seen Donda? The album, not the person. And finally we wrap with the Olympic medal count and changing mask mandates across the country. Want to get in touch? 7704646024.

We've got the senior year blues. Aug 05, 2021

Caddy and Donna have another youngling entering the last year of high school and the emotions are running wild today. We’ve got advice for all the parents out there on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act Podcast.

Taco Bell provides Donna with some hand-crafted experiences, both good and bad. We’re back to school this week and Caddy already feels behind the 8-ball with all that’s going on. And we dig into new vaccination efforts in New York City including requiring proof of vaccine for indoor events. Is Atlanta next? We discuss. This week's music news obligation features Luke Bryan’s new show “My Dirt Road Diary,” and then we close with a few pod peeps. Want to get in touch and have a chance to be featured on the show? Give Caddy a call. 7704646024.

This one’s for Sandi Aug 03, 2021

It’s a somber episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act as we mourn the loss of Sandi Bennett.

Sandi Bennett was the first person Caddy met in Atlanta and his de facto Georgia mother. She was cooking for him and a whole lot of others at The Buckboard. She gave Caddy a place to work and meet folks. She called him CJ. We lost Sandi at about 1 am Monday morning. She was an incredibly special woman and had a massive impact on so many folks. Donna, Caddy and the rest of the world are better people because Sandi has been in their lives. We know one thing is for sure- the karaoke machine has been fired up at the pearly gates.

Crank it up and rip the knob off, podcasts live forever. Jul 29, 2021

PT gets his official introduction to the show and it starts a little bumpy. We’re digging into some of his failures, including not bringing enough “energy” to the My Second Act Podcast. Don’t worry, it picks up.

We’ve got more on Kanye West but really it just raises more questions than it answers. It keeps getting weirder. Caddy and Donna dig into Simone Biles taking a step back from the Olympics and discuss mental health struggles in general. Then in our obligatory music news Kelly Clarkson is losing a tough legal battle and Taylor Swift is trying to not have so many awards thrown at her. We’ve got a double serving of Eric Church this week, who Caddy claims is one of the best songwriters working today. Have thoughts? Let him know. 7704646024.

I want to live in blissful ignorance. Jul 27, 2021

All aboard the new health craze, deworming. The less you know the better. And Kanye West’s new Atlanta home is super convenient for sporting events. Not sure if he’s taking visitors yet.

Donna shows off her pipes this episode with “A Guy Walks Into a Bar.” Next time we’ll try out the auto-tune and see how it sounds. We’re recapping an eventful weekend for our hosts, a weekend that almost included a pretty tense bar fight. Then we dig deep into the stranger Caddy and Donna met. Is he a hero or a villain? The jury is still out. And finally Caddy breaks down the situation surrounding Morgan Wallen, and his disappointing performance on GMA. What’s the Olympic sport in your life? Let us know. 7704646024.

We're evicting Jeff Bezos from Earth. Jul 22, 2021

Three women walked into a bus, and it wasn’t a setup for a joke. Oh the things people can do to scorn a common enemy. Find out more on this week's My Second Act Podcast.

165,000 people wanted Jeff Bezos to stay in space, and that number may be too low. Preston makes his debut on the show to talk about how bad the new Space Jam movie was and offers suggestions for what to see instead. And in this week's episode, Caddy and Donna dig into the challenges surrounding addiction. Caddy’s been there and he wants you to know that you are not alone. If you’d like to reach him directly, text 7704646024.

You're narcissistic and a little bit selfish. Jul 20, 2021

We’ve got a very special guest on the My Second Act podcast this week. Someone who’s come to set free an innocent husband.

Donna’s back, and she’s setting the record straight while getting a few potshots at Caddy in the process. Then we’re gonna quickly run through the best places to live according to the internet. You won’t guess what Caddy wants to do in Boulder, it shocked the whole studio. Caddy’s Facebook interests are pretty tough to pin down, everything from architecture to javelin. And then we close with an interview we all needed. You may remember the story of Kista Frank, the Brookhaven woman who’s sleep was rudely interrupted by a wild animal. We’ve got her on the line to run through the details. What are your thoughts on Nala the Serval Cat? We want to know. 7704646024.

Donna's out, Tug is in. We're busting out the podcast Regis. Jul 15, 2021

Donna and Caddy are having some trouble at home, don’t ask. So filling in for Donna this week on the My Second Act podcast is radio host and sports fan Tug Cowart.

Tug is welcomed in with stories of Caddy’s wild radio stunts way back when, and yes Caddy was under the influence for most of it. Then we learn how to spread some love and get some more friends. Speaking of good friends, the Carters got one of the best presents imaginable from one of music's best couples. Gift givers at home, take note. And finally, what’s the best music streaming service if you’re an artist whose music is being played? Spoiler: you’re wrong. We’ve got lots of pod peeps this week. Want to get in touch? Give us a call. 7704646024.

Willy Wonka goes to space, Donna's got next. Jul 13, 2021

We’re starting the week off right with some very strange moaning from Caddy. It could have to do with the idea of him going to space, or some psychedelic toads, or both.

Donna is starting the GoFundMe to go to space as soon as possible. Caddy isn’t as warm to the idea, especially after seeing the simple machinery of the Magic Carpet Ride fail it’s customers. Let the sound take you away. Despite the rides holding up at Six Flags, it was a rough day for Donna. She’s clearly in need of what the kids are calling “ego death.” We discuss. And then finally we close with marriage advice from one of Georgia’s favorite couples. Are you on the next flight to space? Let us know. 7704646024.

You've got a friend in me. Jul 08, 2021

It's the season of love on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act Podcast. Well it was, until Caddy decided he had two many Facebook friends and could do with a few burnt bridges.

Blake and Gwen's wedding was adorable, even if he didn't build the chapel himself. People are playing music in the bedroom, but not for the reasons you think. Caddy introduces some Social Media stalking to the program and Donna seems to love the new segment. And finally, we close with a thrilling "Can't Beat Jack" featuring some of our favorite pop culture marriages. Think you can beat Jack? Give us a call. 7704646024

What can't you buy on the dark web? Jul 06, 2021

Caddy really earned the “explicit” tag on today’s show. Sorry neighbors, he’ll put his shirt back on.

We’re celebrating the 4th of July on today's edition of the My Second Act Podcast, or we were until Donna had to turn off her curated music experience at the fireworks last night for bothering some folks. Caddy and Donna have no words for the Bill Cosby reversal, but they’ve got some strange audio from Mr. Cosby and his attorneys. Then you can hear Donna’s shock as Caddy details what might be the biggest radio blunder in history. But it’s ok because we’ve got a new friend of the pod on the prowl in Atlanta. He can jump over almost anything and might respond to “Mittens.” Would you own a Serval if you could? Let us know. 7704646024.

Welcome to a brief history of the Wolfman. Jul 01, 2021

Caddy had some...trouble last night. Some to do with new technology, and some to do with something he ate. Typical Thursday here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act show.

The Sopranos are coming back, and exactly 50 percent of the show seems to care. But don’t worry, the trailer is quite dramatic. Caddy and Donna then let us in on their conversation with Donna #AskforDonna and the Wolfman from Gallery Furniture. And finally, Kroger has some freshness to protect. Do you know why they travel in pairs? Let us know. 7704646024.

The ref is in the deep state. Jun 29, 2021

The Hawks had a thrilling Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, made even more thrilling by Donna's decision to update the DVR halfway through. After Caddy gets his explanation, the show gets serious as we go into the courtroom for Derek Chauvin and Brittney Spears.

But don't worry, we close with Donna inventing a brand new children's charity involving amphibians and Caddy catching up with an old fan. But the question remains, did the ref do it on purpose? Let us know. 7704646024.

I’m wondering, Rusty, if that tire is not salvageable. Jun 24, 2021

Shorts are on the rise and we’re cancelling Ikea. It’s just another Thursday here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

The show starts off with the notion of high rise waists and Caddy’s trendsetting kicks. It also turns out that Ikea (the place where you pay to build your own furniture) is about to face the wrath of The People. “They’re snatching kids at Ikea? Cite your source.” We just have one thing to say: Do Not Leave Your Kids Unattended (With The Swedish Meatballs). After that the Jacks cover the time Donna was working the People’s Station during the 1996 Olympics. She was headed straight into the fire, having to work at big corporate parties downtown Atlanta. Caddy took vacation and went home back to North Carolina. We just have one question- is this tire salvageable? Let us know. 7704646024.

Let’s talk about drugs and the 80-20 rule. Jun 22, 2021

Donna is thrilled about the Atlanta Hawks taking Game 6. Cadillac Jack wants Donna to name three Hawks. The first segment is when we talk about drugs. Then Donna and Cadillac Jack get married. Plus, we say goodbye to @ATLCadillac. It’s a wavy first 20 minutes of the podcast.

After that we cover the Fathers Day Dinner fail. It was an 80-mile trip to nowhere, through a tropical storm, only to miss the Not-So-OK-Cafe. Sad day on Highway 20, in the words of the great Zac Brown. Been on one? Let us know. 7704646024.

Happy Fathers Day! Want to go on a hike? Jun 17, 2021

Father’s Day is coming up and we’re celebrating here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. What’s it going to be- bourbon, massages, maybe an ashtray?

First up on the slate today is Buckhead and Tickler Carlson. Sorry, Tucker Carlson. Tucker has been addressing the crime issues in “a northwest corner of Atlanta.” Donna and Caddy have mixed feelings.

Then Caddy and Donna open up about DJ Khaled. It all started with a phone booth speakeasy…

After the story of how their truck was (probably) stolen, Donna and Cadillac Jack move on to fulfill their music obligations by covering Brooks & Dunn. The duo is headed on tour, so the Jacks lay out some of the stops and give a preview of what to expect at the shows.

To cap the show, Heather comes on to play a little dad-themed round of Can’t Beat Jack. It’s a quick fire round that’ll also fill you in on The Darius Rucker Incident. One thing is for sure- it’s better than hiking.

We want our money back, SmithField Jun 15, 2021

It’s a wiley coyote day here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

First off, Ned Beatty has passed away. Where the Red Fern Grows, All the President’s Men, Deliverance. They’re all ways we’ll remember the great Ned, and we take a moment to recognize them. Then Donna kicks uss off by playing Caddy his birthday Cameo. It was a bargain buy and… it shows. You’ll hear the full seven seconds and exactly why Donna wants a refund. Blake Shelton built a chapel for Gwen Stefani. We repeat, Blake Shelton built a chapel. Meanwhile, Donna and Cadillac Jack are having problems with their fire alarm. One of these things is not like the other. Donna brings us back to earth with the thoughtful songwriting of Brothers Osborne. It’s a few surreal moments in an episode of haywire. It doesn’t take long before Caddy starts talking about his master propane and baiters. Needless to say, this show takes the ‘E’ flag pretty quickly. Before the end of the show the Jacks explain a bit about naming rights and the new tours from Alan Jackson and Eric Clapton. Donna takes us out on one noteworthy bit- Kim Jong Un is a mean guy.

The reason I was squirrely Jun 10, 2021

Cadillac Jack has been listening back and needs to clear the air. He’s not ungrateful. He just doesn’t like to be the center of attention.

The first segment of the show looks at the influence TikTok has on the music industry. We just have one thing to say- Barry Manilow needs to buy William White a beer. Maybe a couple of them. Before leaving Then we move on to an album filled with double entendres.

Then the show moves on to our favorite character- Morgan Wallen. If you’ve been around the Southeast in recent weeks you may have seen some billboards around that are not so friendly to the Tennessee native. Is it over the top? From there we naturally move on to the nature of Big Radio and how it handles its programming. Who knows best? Three grown men in a glass office somewhere, apparently. The transition is a bit on the nose but we take it to the lungs from there. You’ll hear why Caddy is getting vaccinated in Washington and whether or not they’re pre-rolled. Here’s to Happy Endings.

I don’t know if I’ve ever talked about this before, but I was on a tennis team. Jun 08, 2021

It’s Cadillac Jack’s birthday and he’s got a cold. No, not that kind of cold.

Caddy turns 42 today (can you believe it) and has only been through one can of white rain. He went all the way up to Tracy Cousineau’s house to find… not Tracy Cousineau. Meanwhile Donna once showed up at the wrong house for an ALTA party, and the guy ate all of her cream cheese saki bombs. That’s the first part of the show. Then Caddy and Donna get to the Tik Tok star who has tapped into the 40-plus crowd. Plus, why it’s the most successful app for the music industry. There’s also some talk of Amazon’s new marijuana policies and the reopening of The Clermont Lounge. To cap the show, “soft 16” Carl comes on mic to talk a little more about just how evil we all are. What do you think? Let us know at 7704646024.

“I will see you tomorrow at nine to load the goats.” Jun 03, 2021

Welcome back to the partially evil Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. It’s a show so short, sweet and strange that Caddy may have written it on an Ambien bender. (His words, not mine.)

First off we look at a recent article in The Atlantic about the despair of returning to regular life. As Donna says, it was a scary but nice reprieve. Then we talk about the 2021 Music Midtown lineup and animals that eat your shoestrings. Plus it’s time to tally our scores from the last episode and see just how evil we are. Bad news. Lastly, Caddy finds out about the goats. Believe it or not, Cadillac Jack is about to be a yoga instructor. Turns out he may have to kiss one for the first time since his days at Tau Kappa Epsilon. The goats. Not the yoga instructor.

You’re the most evil person you know Jun 01, 2021

It’s a short, sweet and evil episode of the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

You’ll start your week off hearing about Donna’s stranger hand-holding and Caddy’s McDonalds Apple Pie snafu. Then dear friend and performing artist Mark Wills is back on stage and out of the Bunker. Donna and Cadillac Jack were there this weekend to celebrate and return to the dance floor. Caddy himself returned to the Jäger. After filling us in on their weekend, the Jacks take a quiz. If you answered 5-9, you’re a little bit evil. More than that and we’re descending into hot water. Lastly executive producer Carl Appen steps back into the show to give an update on his Turo app. “Just give us a 1, 2, 3 of 4. It’s like preschool.”

Mercury is in retrograde and we’re not signing anything May 27, 2021

Mercury is in retrograde and Cadillac Jack just has one question- what does that even mean? Donna explains the answer and let’s just say… it might make a believer out of Caddy. Watch out Geminis. There are a few great peeks behind the Big Radio curtain on today’s show. We’ve talked about things artists have to do when they’re up and coming. Sometimes a label will trade horses with a station and their artists have to go to strange appearances. Well, one time Caddy and Donna booked Brad Paisley to play in the service bay of a car dealership. Another time they just had to watch out for a certain artist’s bag, which contained dip, cigarettes and airplane shot bottle. You’ll hear both stories, plus how Blake Shelton found himself playing a breakfast show at McDonald’s.

After that, regular panelist Jeffrey Jackson calls in to talk about the legal nuances of vaccine requirements. Then to close the show, executive producer Carl Appen has his own studio visit to explain NFTs and Martin Shkreli’s one-of-one Wutang Clan album. Questions? Don’t ask us. But do call us if you’ve seen Morgan Wallen. 7704646024.

Uncut May 25, 2021

“Did you ever do anything in the radio days that would have gotten you cancelled today?” That’s the theme of today’s episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. In fact, it’s Caddy’s opening question. Near the end of the episode you’ll hear about a skit from a few years ago that… well, yes, it would have cancelled Cadillac Jack.

Then, why wouldn’t you just go to Dick’s and buy some dumbbells? Most people who have been through a divorce would understand where Mike Caussin was coming from. Including Caddy. Who held up a settlement of his own over a camcorder. “It was new!”

Of course it wouldn’t be a week of MSA without a Morgan Wallen update. It’s the middle of the show and involves some new tunes from the Wall. There are even some more peeks behind the Big Radio curtain. That’s before we even get to Jon Bon Jovi, Friends or any of the Marias.

Reverse Gossip and the Little Green Men May 20, 2021

There are a whole bunch of little green men tuned in to today’s episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Well, probably.

The episode starts off with a list of things we get excited about. But then Donna asks, “what are you excited for this week?” Well, hmmm. “It’s just easier to come up with things I’m NOT excited about.”

This episode is not 60 minutes long, but it does include audio from 60 Minutes. That’s because footage was recently declassified that may lend some credit to the existence of extraterrestrials. Donna wants one as a pet. “Dress him. Carry him around.” Anyways, something the size of a 737 descended into Pacific airspace and the US Military couldn’t identify it. Which they admitted. On 60 minutes.

After talking about aliens, we move onto Chrissy Teigen. No they are not related. Except for that they both blew Donna away. After that, producer Carl comes on the air to talk about his own Appy. You’ll hear about a new way to rent, drive and possibly be arrested in, cars. Don’t speed away.

Seen an alien? Tell us about it. 7704646024.

If you want to get tipped, you better find that snake. May 18, 2021

The stars were misaligned for this episode of the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

There is no growth in cancel culture. It’s a recurring theme on the show (growth, not cancel culture) and the Morgan Wallen news this week fits right into it.

Then there’s a new game. Since the last episode, we’ve heard from a lot of folks asking about Caddy’s decision-making process. So Donna came up with a new activity for the show: Caddy Would You Rather. Tune in. It’s exactly what it sounds like.

We found Morgan, so it’s unclear how to end these notes. Just call us? 7704646024.

Scrollers Anonymous May 13, 2021

It’s the 4th “Explicit” show in a row here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. That’s why this episode starts with the question of “What would Cadillac Jack do for $100?” The answers will… probably not surprise you.

The middle segment covers the international Tennifer news. Or as Matt Damon calls it, “a really fascinating story.” You’ll hear about Jennifer Anniston, Alex Rodriguez and the pining heart of Cadillac Jack. Signed, your friend Ben Affleck.

On the following segment, Caddy and Donna get tipped to the 5-part Luke Bryan documentary scheduled for later in the year. It reminds them both of a great story from terrestrial radio where Caddy got his handyman on. Well, sorta. It’s all greek to a me. On a related note, we talk about why there is really a gas shortage. “What did they think would happen when they hacked our pumps?” At least the hackers apologized. How kind of them. To round it out, we hit some Riff Raff that you don’t need. Especially if you have a thirsty dog. Seriously. Do not listen if you have any furry animals.

(Please, look for Morgan Wallen. Give him a hug. Then tell us where he is. 7704646024.)

The bigger the baby the bigger the diamonds May 11, 2021

It’s a sweet-then-sour-then-sweet-again episode on Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Donna starts us off with an update on the Acai berries and the air subscription service. You’ll hear how we’re coming for froyo and QuikTrip. She moves on to the watches owned by Cadillac Jack. He has them but doesn’t really *have* them. It makes sense when you realize that it’s really just a segue into wedding rings. As you may know, Caddy doesn’t wear one. You’ll hear why, what Donna thinks and what doors it has opened. “The longer you’re married…”

Covering our designation as a semi-music podcast is a stretch today. You know those people who show up at concerts and get…. well, wild? Someone took that to the extreme at the Uncorked Van Morrison show this weekend. And by wild, we mean that someone released all of the farm animals during the chorus of “Domino.”

The show fulfills its “serious” quota by addressing the fact that its Mental Health Awareness Month. Caddy is concerned about emotionally peaking, because “It’s been a really fun year.” (<- That’s not a joke.) Then we circle back around and cover the rise of push presents. EP Carl Appen shares the story of how (we think) Ray Appen came up with the idea. Just remember- the bigger the baby the bigger the diamons.

Let’s see how long we can go without an ‘E’ tag. May 06, 2021

The show opens with a detective novel about Bill Gates, Detective Cline and Shania Twain. That’s right- we’re talking about ‘gray divorce,’ or splitting up after 50. Donna thinks that men get needier as they get older. Cadillac Jack agrees.

The second segment talks about a mother found in the middle of a desert eating grass and moss. The problem for her is that she didn’t want to be found. “Are you kidding me? There are hot campers around.” There’s also a bit about music licensing, as Red Hot Chili Peppers become the latest group to sell their rights.

The third segment covers a recent hot mic episode on Fox and Friends. Kevin McCarthy was caught with his (audio) pants down. Allegedly. Caddy and Donna talk about some of the implications, along with whether or not it was really an accident. Similarly, a woman just caught her husband cheating because he didn’t realize the bluetooth was on. What are the three things you couldn’t do without? You’ll hear a few answers. Bluetooth is not one of them. It’s all covered on this episode of Hot Mic with Donna and Caddy.

Are any shaved ice stands hiring right now? May 04, 2021

So, did you get the medical Riff Raff treat? If not, take another listen to last Thursday’s episode. We’re all recovered and ready for the show to return to normal on this Second Act. Cadillac Jack asked folks what they were talking about over the weekend. You’ll be almost as surprised as he was when you hear some of the answers in the first segment.

The second segment, and first story, of the episode is about the Great Nursing Home Escape. A husband and wife recently made a break for it after the gentlemen was able to use his military code-breaking experience. Donna thinks that it earned them some fresh air. Caddy is just wondering about the liability of it all. As usual.

As a semi-music podcast, we are obligated to spend a few minutes talking about the recording industry. Today that means the Billboard Music Awards. It’s actually an interesting discussion about what makes the BMAs so different from other award shows. It makes the BMAs a little… unsurprising…. But the reason why is interesting. PS - No, Morgan Wallen is not invited. Then there is a bit about Kacey Musgraves and the dream she fulfilled. Lastly, some news on Dierks Bentley and Luke Bryant’s chaffing. It’s an episode that’ll rub you the right way.

The show ends with a few moments thanking teachers for National Teacher Appreciation Week. Well, Donna thanks them. Cadillac Jack does too, sorta.

This episode is a medicinal mystery box. Apr 29, 2021

We’re just going to let it ride here today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Tune in and listen up. You may even get rewarded with a Riff Raff treat…

“If we got divorced, who would keep My Second Act?” Apr 27, 2021

It’s very important to not try everything you see online. Cadillac Jack learned that firsthand this weekend. He tried to clean some plaque out of his mouth and avoid going to the dentist. Now he has just less teeth.

Do we really need the Oscars? Did anyone see a single new movie this year? The people who were nominated say, “yes.” Donna and Caddy get into it, discussing all things worth knowing about this year’s awards. Donna recommends only one winner- a story about a man and his octopus. “Who knew they could have a relationship like that?”

The show switches gears and looks at the relationship between Jana Kramer and Mike Caussin. The two have a podcast called Whine Down, where they cover marriage and authentic struggles. They’re also getting a divorced. According to US Weekly, the “logistics” of owning the show will get worked out in the process. Would the Jacks show similar concessions? Not when it comes to Roscoe.

On the way out the show covers Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick and Travis Barker. You know, real life. If you have any clues about them or where Morgan Wallen is, give us a call. 7704646024.

Prom night at the Hickory Motor Lodge Apr 22, 2021

It’s prom night here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. For Caddy and Donna that means different things. For Donna, it’s a trip to Six Flags. To Caddy, it’s a trip… somewhere else.

Caddy and Donna’s daughter Charlotte is a guest on today’s episode, so that intro was kept pretty short. News about the Derek Chauvin trial broke as the show was starting, so we spend a few minutes on some gut reactions. As a professional jury consultant, Cadillac Jack came prepared. Afterwards there is an update from Donna and her Madonna. Then, it turns out the ACMs had mixed reactions. The Academy of Country Music Awards were a bit of a toss up this year.

The most important segment of the show is when Charlotte tunes in. The Jacks start with their hype songs, move towards hookey and then shift into driving lessons. Once they’re through the gate, the three talk about the third-child-dilemma. Caddy brings up some history that Charlotte didn’t know about…. Again. This time it’s live on air. Were you surprised? Let us know at 7704646024.

“You're not doing hot yoga, Cadillac.” - Carrie Underwood Apr 20, 2021

You don’t have to be a fan of country music to listen to the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. You can tune in to almost any episode and enjoy 45 minutes of twang-free banter. Today is not one of those shows.

Donna and Caddy take a deep dive into the Academy of Country Music Awards, covering this weekend’s ceremony and every twangy, juicy, spur-studded moment from it.

Having a podcast has been pretty liberating for Donna and Cadillac Jack. They’ve been able to talk about taboo material, share authentic opinions and bust the industry wide open. (Well, maybe not the last one. We do need some dinner guests.) Events like the ACMs allow these new freedoms to shine. Here’s a look at what’s covered in today’s episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Bridge Burning:

Morgane Stapleton’s detour to deliver someone’s baby.
The (unintentionally) loudest performer of the weekend
Luke Combs and Kenny Chesney’s sunday school clothes
Eric Church the Silver Fox
Madison Reed (the hair dye, not the porn site)
Brooks & Dunn. “Hot hot hot hot hot.”
Dan + Shay. *yawn*
Amy Grant’s pajamas
Little Big Town
The week Caddy was stuck on an island with Terry Chapman

The show wraps by marking the anniversary of Caddy running over Roscoe and a look at his early days in radio. At 17 he was working seven to midnight at Country 93.9 in Myrtle Beach. He was making $11,000 a year but lived in a trade apartment and had free tires. We’ve come a long way, folks. Have a great week and call us if you see Morgan Wallen. 7704646024.

“We’ve done stewardess and pilot before.” Apr 15, 2021

How much is Donna’s vision worth? That’s the question that starts off this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Then, what did you want to be when you were growing up? Do you remember? Donna can pretty much tell you her exact plan. Caddy wanted to be one of two things and… they’re very different. The reason we ask is because nowadays you don’t hear kids saying what they want to be. At least they don’t say the same things that we used to. The main point is that kids don’t want to limit themselves to single, traditional careers. They want to do more.

Khloe Kardashian and “her unedited body” bring us into segment number two. It’s a conversation about filters, pictures and the stressors of today’s digital world. Things are not the same as when your parents took family pictures that were one and done.

Then Cadillac Jack opens up. He’s feeling left out. The reason? Not one person has called him to offer commentary on the Derek Chauvin trial. With the amount of time Caddy has spent (voluntarily) in courthouses, he’s practically a criminal justice expert. Caddy gives a pretty in-depth look at police unions, public defenders and the intricacies of using an expert witness.

Lastly Donna and Cadillac Jack get to the nuts and bolts- the key to a happy, thriving romance. They come at it with an understanding perspective. Do you have any idea how many costumes Caddy owns?

“Tell the chili story.” Apr 13, 2021

There are no naps allowed on today’s episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Except for Bun, who is our podcasting Emotional Support Frenchie. She can nap all she wants. Donna and Caddy dive right in with a look at Taylor Swift and her MENSA-level “Swiftie” fans. Taylor has the first re-recorded album out now after the decade-long rift with Scooter Braun. The Jacks explain the situation and why it means so much for the music industry that Taylor is starting on the project. to start the project. Tt’s possible that even Scooter is proud of the move. We know Keith Urban is a fan.

Cadillac Jack has said multiple times that the next big artist to go on tour will have a vaccination clause. News out of the industry has proved him wrong. Eric Church is on a 53+ city tour that wraps at Madison Square Garden in New York. Caddy has some insight on why Atlanta wasn’t on the list (yet) and Donna points to why they both might turn into roadies. It’s safe to say that there is only so much money to go around. That’s why we think there will be a race to see who is the first to dig for gold. Eric Church has solidified his position as one of the miners is on the hunt for nuggets.

Then there are a couple quick hits like the death of Prince Philip, Netflix and how to identify a Rembrandt. All that precedes a segment of Riff Raff Donna Buys (on Amazon). It’s one that you won’t want to miss, even if your credit card does. Have a tip? Let us know at 7704646024.

You need to know what you’re getting in to. Apr 08, 2021

This episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is one of those things that you sign up for but when it actually happens….

Just kidding. That’s what the first segment of the show is about, though. Caddy and Donna once signed up to host a nonprofit gala. Then they found out what it means to host a nonprofit gala. (Spoiler alert: it means you’re on the line for cash.) Then this past weekend Cadillac Jack was invited to plant a vineyard. He thought it meant a ceremonial shovel-holding, wine-drinking afternoon. 18 hours and 2 bottles of Advil later, Caddy knows that it meant literally planting a vineyard.

The Academy of Country Music Awards is coming up. Eric Church is one of the headliners and he’s on a mission to get all of his fans vaccinated. Donna and Caddy fulfill the show’s designation as a semi-music podcast by breaking down exactly what this means for Country Music. There’s also a quick hit on what other performers you can expect to see at the ACMs.

Caddy and Donna move on to talk me-batticals. Donna explains what they are and how she heard about them. It’s basically a break from life filled with books. At the beach. No family, no friends. Just eating, sleeping and getting massages. So, Donna’s dream of decompression. And Caddy’s nightmare. His response? “I’m so tired.” The show wraps up before Donna is able to rotate his blood. Maybe next week.

PS It’s been 62 days since anyone has seen Morgan Wallen. Know where he is? Let us know at 7704646024.

Bonus: Shayne Wilson and the Atlanta International Auto Show Apr 07, 2021

MAADA’s Shayne Wilson stops by the studio to talk with Cadillac Jack about the 39th Annual Atlanta International Auto Show. Tune in and hear all about what you can expect at Atlanta’s Spring Thing.

The Atlanta International Auto Show will be at Georgia World Congress Center from April 14 to 18. Get your tickets at goautoshow.com and we’ll see you there!

“I was never really a fan of humble pie.” Apr 06, 2021

Spring has sprung here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. To mark the occasion, it’s a Spring-themed show. We start off with some friendly Spring Break PSAs from Donna, covering all things High School Spring Break. It’s especially useful to any parents who may be chaperoning a group of kids for the week. Two hints: your bikes will get stolen and it’s not water in that bottle. Then we move on to religion. That’s right. After 15 months of the podcast, it’s time to address the holy elephant in the room. Donna and Cadillac talk about God, the Church and religion in today’s world. After the segment it’s gametime in the Second Act nation as Greg Cayton, aka “Stewey,” calls in. Stewey knows Caddy and Donna from their days at Kicks 101.5, where he worked promotions (and Cracker Barrel). He goes back to 210 Interstate North. Ever since then he’s been one of Caddy’s closest friends. Still, there are no holds barred as they take on a game of Can’t Beat Jack. The category is ‘watery basketballs’ and ends up about exactly how it sounds. To round off the show it’s the best time of the week: Donna’s Appy segment. You’ll hear about a new way to save money when you’re spending money. Let us know what you find. 7704646024.

The Atlanta International Auto Show will start on April 14th but tickets are available now. Find them at goautoshow.com.

The People v. Cadillac Jack Apr 01, 2021

It’s another sing-songy Second Act here on the show today. Back in the day Caddy fell into a rabbithole following the O.J. Simpson trial. The same thing is happening as he follows the case of Derek Chauvin, whose trial is underway in Minneapolis. The segment does not take a political or social justice angle, but the perspective of a courtroom frequenter. If you’re a Day One listener you’ll know that Cadillac Jack loves a good courthouse.

From there we touch on Mike Post with a little game. He’s one of, if not the best, TV composers in American history. Caddy brought with him some of the best bits of theme music and Donna tests her ears. Tune in to the show about 30 minutes in to hear the My Second Act original renditions.

After that we address some recent comments from Pod Peeps. Some are pre-screened, others are not. It’ll be pretty easy for you to tell the difference- if Caddy doesn’t finish reading the message, it’s a new one. Be sure to call in with your own reviews. Depending on how flattering it is, we may read it on the show. 7704646024.

We're pretty sure Ted Cruz took a pit stop in Tijuana Mar 30, 2021

It’s a hoppy episode here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Donna and Caddy are stoked for Easter weekend, hopefully filled with golden eggs and cash. They intro the show with talks of old Easter Sundays and an update on Donna’s bunny suit. They shift gears to cover the EF4 tornado that tragically hit Newnan, GA this weekend. One fatality is one too many and our hearts go out to the family of Barry Martin. The segment is also a nod to the change in reality many of us have experienced in the last few years. On that note, Donna moves to cover her trip down memory lane as she goes through Nana’s home. There’s just so much that you learn through community and reflection, that one lesson is to take your time. One bright spot of the move, though, is that we have original pictures of clogs. And costumes. And marriages.

Then it’s time to cover the show’s designation as a semi-music podcast. Morgan Wallen has fallen to number three, ending his streak at the top of the charts. Lana Del Ray, “one of those moody songwriters that the kids love” took second. And our boy Justin Bieber is atop the throne. Nike is waving their arms in the air. They’re begging you to understand that they have nothing to do with Lil Nas X’s shoes. Caddy and Donna explain why. How hard is it to understand, Karen? Just don’t buy the Nike’s with the blood on them.

To cap the show, you’ll hear about why wind is a b****. Just ask the Suez Canal and the Ever Given drama.

“I have a special parking permit because I’m a member of the clergy.” Mar 25, 2021

It’s a rootin’ tootin’ enlarging episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Donna is longing for some friendly physical action. She feels like we all could use a little more platonic loving. It’s a bug that has spread like COVID and is taking a toll on the Jack household. The good thing is that as of last week, she’s vaccinated. Cadillac Jack? Not so much. He’s more concerned about the fact that easter bunny sales are up. No kidding. Donna worked at Cumberland Mall back in the day and every Spring they had a rule- if you’re late, you wear the bunny suit. Give you one guess who was late.

Kenny Chesney made the call. Donna and Cadillac Jack are huge fans of Kenney and consider themselves a member of No Shoes Nation. They fulfill their semi-music podcast designation by announcing some news from the man himself. As a pair who have participated in their fair share of Chesney parties, it’s a bit of a let down. At the end of the day, “I won’t take chances with those that I love.”

Then Donna’s hype song leads the show down memory lane. The last time she heard Earth, Wind and Fire, Cadillac Jack was officiating a wedding in Charleston. If you don’t remember, Caddy was ordained on the side of the highway. That’s not a joke- he really is available to officiate weddings and funerals. As he was quick to point out, “I do the back end as well.”

We cover shrimp tails and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. If you haven’t seen the story, fellow podcaster @JensenKarp found some little critters in his cereal. Caddy and Donna set the stage for what they’re betting will be a story all year. Cadillac’s prediction? It’s the end of General Mills.

Plus some great news for Cadillac Jack and every other heart attack survivor. Dr. Oz has a new recommendation: Viagra. “It’s the dipstick to a man’s health.” And what’s even better than the little blue pill? Donna’s Appy segment. It’s a way for folks to easily fill their time (and their pockets). Cadillac Jack is thinking of applying to be a host. Just not that kind of host. Can anyone help him with his ZipRecruiter profile?

Follow Caddy @atlcadillac or text him at 7704646024. New shows every Tuesday and Thursday of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

"Is Daddy paying?" Mar 23, 2021

Donna wants to go to Bonnaroo, Burning Man or Talladega. Just hearing the ‘T’ word is triggering for Cadillac Jack. It brought back some frightening memories. Brown liquor and ashes at turn 1. Shutting down the state’s third largest city in the Fall of ‘99. It’s a shuddering trip down memory lane. Needless to say, we’ll see you at the Talladega Superspeedway in April.

Caddy moves on to the other side of the racecar counter by sharing a story from this weekend at the DMV. The attendant really wanted a piece of Caddy. (We see you, Window 8.) In the end, it all worked out. Charlotte even saved the day at J. Christopher’s.

Morgan Wallen just spent his 10th week at the top of the charts. It’s a huge deal, but not the biggest story out of Country music this week. The main headline is from Garth Brooks- Chris Gains is back. Confused? Join the party. Donna and Cadillac Jack shed some light on the alter ego who may have purchased 1.5 million copies of his own album. Plus, did you know that Matthew McConaughey starred as Walkaway Joe with Trisha Yearwood and Don Henley?

Before the show taps out, Donna and Cadillac Jack say a bit about the Atlanta story that has been on national news this week. It’s a somber tone about tragedies, family and the importance of doing the right thing. Lastly, you’ll hear a few Pod Peeps and their favorite two-handed-songs as a way to lighten the show. Let us know about your own two-handers and if you have advice from years at Talladega. What exactly is Donna in for? 7704646024.

Call me, please. Mar 18, 2021

Cadillac Jack was roped into a Georgia Public Broadcasting telethon. He and Tina Turner ended up raising over $300 on the program. Morgan Wallen is now at week 9 at the top of the charts. Donna, Megan and Harry Styles all developed the same moves. It’s just another Thursday here at the My Second Act podcast.

There’s a new season of Caddy Wagon with Ritchey and Raider coming. To prep, Caddy has been taking ride alongs with Officer Phil Ritchey. Caddy “takes off his silly hat” to discuss some of the incidents he has seen in recent weeks. It’s a heavier segment that will remind you to love and check in with each other. Donna’s takeaway is that some of this year’s changes are here to stay and it’s important to take them seriously. Most importantly, give yourself some grace.

Caddy almost had a stroke (we really shouldn’t say that) when he got a text with the three dreaded words- “Call me, please.”

The next segment of the show covers Todd Chrisley and his gift for GBnME. It really got Caddy emotional and he’s seen all the videos. Donna simply wants to know which restaurant Todd was in. Just another highly-favored Second Act. This one rounds off with a clip of Reba on Oprah’s Masterclass and a few bits about the tourist destination that is Nashville, Tennessee.

What are some other songs that make you drop your drink and run to the dance floor? Your two-fist dances? Let us know at 7704646024.

“Roscoe, son, what have you been doing?” Mar 16, 2021

It’s the first show after the Grammy’s and for this semi-music podcast that means one thing: we’re going to spend a very small part of the show covering the awards.

First Donna and Cadillac Jack explain their Hype Song Playlist(s) and why they go from Jay-Z to Dolly Parton to Earth, Wind & Fire. Next, Caddy fills us in on his weekend with Olivia and their 20+ innings of softball. It mostly served the purpose of enjoying the weather reminiscing on youthful days. But watching the 4U teams’ coaches (and parents) also took Caddy down a more painful memory lane. Imagine if Dad had been out the night before and then had to catch for Mom. That’s a little bit what the segment is about. Donna caps it with a PSA of her own, reminding folks that “if you’re the team mom, get those lazy little kids to pick up after themselves.”

Not before Caddy admits to falling for a MLM. Or a phishing attempt. Plus a real life ponzi scheme. Then a quick update from TaskRabbit’s Pee Pee.

Making good on our Apple designation as a semi-music podcast, the show covers highlights from this past weekend’s Grammy awards. Harry Styles, Black Pumas and Wop. Taylor Swift, Post Malone and Wop. Billie Eilish and Wop. You’ll hear it all on today’s Second Act. You know how we’ll end the Act? With some Riff Raff that Donna bought. You properly need to hear it.

Get your tickets now for the Atlanta Auto Show, April 14-18 at the Georgia World Congress Center. Then call 7704646024 and tell us if you’ll be waiting in line for the new Ford Bronco.

“No but I still got a royal hosing.” Mar 11, 2021

This episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act features a man named Pee Pee and a Brit named Sean. Donna met Pee Pee on TaskRabbit. He’s coming to the house on Friday to look over the trampoline. He said they’ll make do. Meanwhile the CDC has new guidance on who can hug who. You’ll hear the clip on today’s and be just as confused as Caddy and Donna.

We go to Sean, the show’s British Correspondent to fill in some royal blanks. It makes up the bulk of the show and will give the perspective of someone who is very much in support of the Crown. Before he hangs up Sean plays a quick game of Can’t Beat Jack. It’s 40 seconds of nail-biting. Find out who gets hosed.

Then there is a new series of concerts booked for the Uncorked Concert Series at Painted Horse Winery. Caddy gives a quick intro and pitches the first artist- Jeffrey Steele. You’ll hear a couple of the hits Steele has written over the years like “Shotgun Rider,” “Knee Deep” and “Stick That in Your Country Song.” To close the show, we run through a couple of pod peeps for the episode like Misty Cato.

Led Zeppelin, Dolly Parton and Ethiopian food Mar 09, 2021

Dolly Parton sings us in on today’s Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Then the show can’t fully begin until Donna and Cadillac Jack clear the air. You’ll have to stick with us through the first six minutes of the episode as we dig up some irritation with memes, communication habits and “a double dose of Rock.”

The real show starts with a tip: You can now listen to Cadillac Jack: My Second Act on all Delta flights. Just search “Cadillac Jack” on the Atlanta-based airline’s in-flight entertainment center. Then some quick hits like Morgan Wallen’s record breaking week and the Grammy’s new producer.

The real meat of the show is spent on Oprah’s interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

There were more than a couple jaw-dropping moments in the two-hour special. Donna points out some anger over Harry’s parents, crisis-inducing pressures on Meghan and who exactly was concerned about their son Archie’s skin color.

You’ll hear a few clips that were not aired during the interview. Loneliness and thoughts of self harm were discussed in the interview, something that will cast more light on the challenges of mental health. There were a few bright lights in the show, like Tyler Perry’s good graces and the incoming baby girl.

Louie Anderson had a role in Coming to America because Paramount said the movie had to have a white guy. At least, that’s what Eddie Murphy says. You’ll hear the clip in question and a preview of the follow-up, which is streaming on Amazon Prime. The reason we talk about it on the show is because of the massive marketing campaign that pushed it out. From wrapped trucks to high-dollar commercials, the promotions were everywhere.

The show caps with a story about Ethiopian food. That’s all we have to say.

Building hills with John Rich Mar 04, 2021

Nashville’s own John Rich is a special guest on this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. When Caddy and Donna finish reminiscing about the Topless Taqueria del Agua, John phones in to talk to the pair himself. From bars that close at 9 to the cancellation of Dr. Seuss, it seems like we’ve seen it all. If there’s one person who attest to that, it’s John Rich.

John explains how he got into business with someone from Portland, why Redneck Riviera moved down to Kentucky and the 110 college grants they’ve been able to fund through Folds of Honor. JR talks about how he ended up writing “Mississippi Girl” for Faith Hill. Then he answers a longtime question of Caddy’s - “As a songwriter, what does it mean to have some of your work put on hold for an artist that you’re… unsure about?”

John responds with a story from the early 2000’s when a little-known Georgian wanted to reserve some of his songs. It goes to show that sometimes you have to just cross your fingers and “never ask why.”

Cadillac Jack asks JR about Guitar Licks n’ Politics. That’s the up and coming project combining conservative, spitfire personalities and the best of country music. It goes without being said, you already know who has the 5 am slot.

John talks about family, too, like what it really means to perform in those trademark rhinestone jeans from Granny (Ann) Rich. Plus the conversations he has been having with his sons Colt and Cash over the course of this rocky year.

There’s only one question John Rich leaves unanswered- what did they just dig up in Turkey?

If you know the answer, fill us in at 770-464-6024.

Beeb beep in your Jeep Jeep Mar 02, 2021

It’s award season here at the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We take a look back at “the first awards show to try and do it,” the Academy of Country Music awards. Then a brief pan over the Golden Globes, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Pohler who were socially distanced by 2,000 miles. Plus there was Jason Sudeikis, not that he knew where he was at the time. PS - Who even is the Hollywood Foreign Press? Then the night brings the Jodie Foster / Aaron Rodgers storyline full circle, with an explanation from Cadillac Jack.

Caddy manifests some serious mojo, just asking the world to smite him with some sort of illness. Donna takes the time to really drill in what it means to “manifest" something into reality.

The following segment is about OnlyFans. It’s not what you think. Combining avocados, ASMR and lemonade. Plus, a few other creators who provide more traditional “nekedness.”

Turns out Prince Harry did not tell the Queen. It’s Caddy’s understanding that anything goes in the tell-all interview he and Meghan Markle had with Oprah. You’ll hear two promos released by the Oprah camp that seem to confirm it. Caddy goes as far as classifying what kind of teases they are, from a production perspective.

For the final segment, Michael calls in. He lives in Chamblee and has been a listener for a long time, but most importantly he’s deep into the Jeep culture. Michael is able to give an inside perspective on the Jeep life and what’s going on with the Jeep wave. It’s an uplifting conversation, for the most part. The only downer is that Caddy has to get used to having a sore wrist. It’s a tough life here on My Second Act.

The pole that Ted climbed Feb 25, 2021

It only took 125 shows before the Zodiac Killer made his way into an episode title. Here at the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcasts, we’re pretty proud of that. In other, non-Texan news, Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift have reached new heights. The last folks that high were Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks. No, seriously. Caddy and Donna cover it in the first segment of this semi-music podcast. Then it’s time to have a conversation about Tiger Woods. Donna and Cadillac Jack talk about the news cycle that some probably wanted to hear. They cover the Tiger’s background and how it’s oddly similar to the recent revelations surrounding Brittany Spears. Donna points out the one “winner” from the situation, if you can call it that.

There’s a quick hit segment (that’s a pun, it’ll make sense 28 minutes in) before Caddy and Donna hit the real goss- the “three sexiest features of men who are the best in bed.” It’s a bit straight out of Cosmo and lasts 90 seconds. Donna makes her own quick hit on a new edition of “Riff Raff Donna buys on Instagram.” This week and next week are pet-focused products. (Petter days, petter days.)

Do you remember your first time behind the wheel? For the parents listening- when did you first let your kids take the seat? Donna and Cadillac Jack drop the clutch and chime in. Before hitting the road, Caddy has a few questions about Jeep culture. If you know the answers, give us a wave at 7704646024.

“No, Ted Cruz is not going to climb a power pole.” Feb 23, 2021

The show kicks off with tthe marketing vitality of “the Tik Tok.” Then Caddy doesn’t understand the backlash towards Ted Cruz and his Sandals vacation. Donna starts her response by pointing out that Sen. Cruz was headed to the Ritz, not Sandals. Only one thing is for sure, and this is not a joke: as we record there is a mariachi band playing outside the Senator’s house. As Cadillac Jack says, “find out who your friends are.”

What happens when you’re on an airplane and hear a big “BOOM” outside the plane? On a United flight out of Denver, one passenger did exactly what Donna would not: raise the shade and look out. You’ll hear the mayday call and learn about the pilot’s skill in handling the situation. We continue the air travel theme by covering the recent Mars landing. That one is less turbulent. Before the show is over you’ll hear an update on Caddy’s readers and Donna’s clogs. Give us an update right back at 7704646024.

“I had no idea that you clogged, Donna.” Feb 18, 2021

Like beavers, the cast and crew of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act are delicate creatures. That’s why Caddy had to get a massage before recording this episode and “hang out in the chill room” for two hours. Donna… well, Donna was not getting a massage or hanging out in the chill room.

The ACM Awards are headed back to Nashville. Victor Sansone, who is big in country radio and Caddy and Donna’s former boss, was inducted into Country Radio Seminar’s Hall of Fame. Ashley Judd went to the jungle and came out 48 hours later with suitors. Oprah is planning a sit down with her neighbors Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The world is beginning to heal.

It’s still 2021 though, so the following segment is about Caddy and Donna listening to other people’s phone calls. Legally. Caddy wants to hear about climate impact reduction and why more POC don’t go to Burning Man. Donna explains what it means to “leave quietly.” It’s a bit about the Clubhouse app that’ll remind you that this year will be just as strange as the last one.

Donna and Cadillac Jack bring it all home with a game of Can’t Beat Jack. Kara Scott calls for a quick round and she came in hot- the last time they played a similar game, Kara walked away a winner. Tune in to the final segment and find out who takes the cake. Here’s a hint: Donna gets up to clog.

Think you have what it takes to Beat Jack. Slip into the show’s DMs. Text 7704646024.

By the way, if anyone is wondering- the pot roast turned out great.

The Brown Bag Valentine Special Feb 16, 2021

It’s another Brown Bag Special here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. The show is long, jammed full and ends with a sweetheart. Consider it our Valentine’s Day gift to you. You can even have some time stamps. As a treat.

01:01 - A PSA about children and data privacy. (As in, kids breaching their parents’) 04:29 - The possibility that the Conway family (Kellyanne, George and Claudia) have been playing America, proved by Claudia’s appearance on American Idol. 10:45 - The adult Taylor Swift, including six tracks you’ve never heard. 15:23 - 40 seconds of the new Morgan Wallen apologizing for an old 72-hour bender. 20:28 - Underdog: How Michael McDonnell broke a 357-race losing streak and won the Daytona 500. 21:22 - The “Zoom Cat Lawyer” who has already been cancelled. 23:57 - Cadillac Jack steps away from GMC. 31:10 - The New York Times Presents, and the incredibly hard time Brittany Spears has faced. 33:59 - Are we cancelling Diane Sawyer for her participation in ^ ? 35:46 - Justin Timberlake’s apology and how it lands. 38:54 43:08 - Mr. Al calls in to the show to share about his recent visit from The Donut Man. [That’s the segment you won’t want to miss] Thanks for listening, it’s time for lunch. Call us on the way. 7704646024.

Too much vetivert Feb 11, 2021

This episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is split into two very different parts. First there is some pretty gut-wrenching news about the son of Dr. Laura Berman. It leads to a frank discussion about the difficulty of quarantine for teenagers, but also the dangers of unrelated Big Tech. Above all, the message is one of transparency and communication. Make sure everyone you care about knows the lines of communication are open.

The second part of the show is about Tennifer (that’s with a ‘T’) the Gorilla Glue Star. The Louisiana woman tried using the product in a way that… well, you probably just shouldn’t do. In fact, according to Gorilla Glue’s legal team, no reasonable person would even consider it. To look more at the case, Caddy and Donna bring in Jeffrey Jackson. Jeffrey is an attorney and managing partner at Jackson & Brubaker. He calls in to answer some of Donna and Cadillac Jack’s questions and offer Tennifer some advice. We’ll sum it up for you here: Good luck. Let us know what you think by texting or calling 7704646024.

Follow Caddy on Twitter @atlcadillac and come out to Gallery Furniture this Saturday (Feb. 13) for some hot dogs. And Caddy. Plus both Donnas. But mostly hot dogs.

Come to Jesus with Morgan Wallen Feb 09, 2021

The show focuses almost entirely on Morgan Wallen and his ongoing controversy. It’s the story dominating Country right now but Donna and Caddy hit some talking points you might not expect. At the end there’s a bit of talk about r/theSuperbOwl, including Tom Brady and the pink singlet streaker. Plus a few answers to questions from some Pod Peeps. For the most part, though, the show covers a topic that we think will have a big impact on how the entertainment industry is set to change. Let us know what you think. We’ll all have a sit down with the big man upstairs. 7704646024.

You know if you crack enough eggs you’ll get an omelette Feb 04, 2021

This episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is so full of gold nuggets that we’re doing show notes a little differently. Here is a list of topics and quotes… can you tell which are which?

It's not sponsored by Robinhood but gives a new meaning to Smothered and Covered. Feb 02, 2021

A few episodes ago, Caddy added Strawberry Wine by Deanna Carter to the playlist per a request from pod peep (really, superspreader) Melissa. It was an event that left the show with a whole lot of questions. The first segment of today’s show clears a good bit of it up because Melissa brought some answers. Then, Morgan Wallen strikes again. And we’re not just talking about when he ran Donna off the road. Morgan is spending his third week on top of the charts and still had time to drop some new music. If you’ve listened to any of it, let us know what you think. To round off the music segment Donna shares the story of how Miranda met her “blue light hubby” at the Biltmore KOA.

Do we have the proper set up for vaccination? Donna wants to know about the sanitation and licensing. Caddy wants to know about the juice boxes and cookies. They both agree who should REALLY be running the process. Paging all biologists. We’re looking for the difference between groundhogs and beavers. When you’re done with that, we’re also paging all college admission officers. We’re trying to figure out your inside arrangement with the United States Postal Service. It’s an episode that is really on the hunt for some answers.

There’s a new sheriff in town. And by that we mean the show has a new sponsor. Donna and Cadillac Jack introduce their new partners and what they can do for us all. Check out hertz.com/mycar or give Caddy a call if you have any questions. You know the number- 7704646024. The last segment of the show covers a phenomenon that literally (we mean it- literally) no one can fully understand. Even still, Carl Appen voices in and tries to give an explanation.

The payoff is never as good as the tease. Jan 28, 2021

It’s time for a trip to Gallery Furniture because Donna and Cadillac Jack’s bed is full. There are a few pieces of audio that you’ll hear in today’s episode. Some words from Braves manager Brian Snitker at Hank Aaron’s memorial service. Then you’ll hear what happens when Dr. Fauci and Matthew McConaughey walk into a bar. You’ll hear the “10 reasons Caddy hates clickbait,” or something. Jesse calls in to play a round of Can’t Beat Jack. 8-1 is the current record, and the category today is a bit better than the “Psychic” one from terrestrial radio. After the game, Caddy and Donna reflect on a more solemn moment that happened this past weekend.

One radio note from the show covers Sandra Golden’s move from 680 The Fan. She’s a legend and a good friend of the Jacks. Sports radio is a competitive field but Sandra rises above the rest. She’s also a champion and ally of other women in broadcasting. Atlanta radio and the sports world as a whole will miss you!

Follow her on Twitter @sportsandra and call the show at 7704646024

Nervous bladders and the response from Team Exotic Jan 26, 2021

On this Tuesday episode of My Second Act you’ll learn the dangers of pet-friendly hotels, COVID travel insurance and why the Joe Exotic team is upset with Donna and Cadillac Jack.

To fulfill the semi-music podcast designation, there’s also some coverage of Eric Church’s upcoming triple album. Joanna Cotton came on the show a few months ago and talked about her experience helping Church on a 28-day music making marathon. The fruits of their labors are about to come to light with the 24-track Heart & Soul.

Donna and Caddy travelled to Asheville this weekend to see Cadillac’s dad. Their hound dog Roscoe tagged along and the gang learned some lessons about why you may not want to stay inside any furry-friendly hotels. (Apologies to Double Tree)

Are you on any dating apps? If so, do you look for folks who are self-reporting their vaccinations? On the next segment Donna and Cadillac address a new phenomenon where profiles are starting to use the designations as badges of honor. In the words of Donna, “an upsell,” if you will.

After that the show covers the passing of two greats- Hank Aaron and Larry King. Both legends have left huge impacts on their crafts and our memories. Then it’s time for the show’s climax. A listener- no, an advocate- emailed into the show because she believes there were some mistakes. She’s a friend of Joe Exotic and some things said on the last show did not sit well with them.

Don’t forget to come out to Gallery Furniture on February 13th. There will be music, food, furniture and the Jacks. Ask for Donna, Ask for the Wolfman and Caddy will tie whatever you’d like onto the roof of your car.

“The last message I have from Joe Exotic is, ‘I hope you enjoy your package.’” Jan 21, 2021

Have you heard about pomping? Used paper mache recently? Take money from Big Oil and Gas? This is the podcast for you.

Not really but it’s all addressed today as Donna and Cadillac Jack hit the studio for My Second Act. Carpool being back in and the Presidential inauguration have Caddy feeling some typa way. So much so, that he’s on a Dude Wipes binge. One big turning point has been that Joe Exotic didn’t get a pardon. Executive Producer Carl Appen chimes in because he used to be pen pals with Joe. It’s a true story and he has the receipts to prove it.

Today is a light show because we all need it. Tune in and pack out (Dude Wipes). 7704646024.

Bun's first show Jan 19, 2021

Search Donna and Caddy on Spotify to find “Part Deaux” of the podcast’s hype song playlist. On it you’ll find Morgan Wallen, Carrie Underwood and Marvin Gaye. Plus a few other artists that fit in between.

It’s inauguration week here in the United States. There a few reasons to be excited about it (like cable news critics) and some reasons not to. One plus side for Donna, Caddy and the whole second act is that the pledge of allegiance will be led by North Fulton resident Andrea Hall, the first Black female Fire Captain in Fulton County. Plus, the Ocean Spray guy will be there.

Afterwards Donna and Caddy take a deep dive into their trip below the sea. They saw ocean creatures, unbuttoned pants and cheddar biscuits. Red Lobster is sending the Jack’s waitress to Chattanooga because she sold so many double-baked potato upcharges. No kidding.

Donna and Cadillac Jack move on to cover a frightening trend for the City of Atlanta and a terrifying allegation surrounding a certain Armie Hammer. Before the show closes, you’ll hear an update on Caddy’s job search and what some Pod Peeps had to say. Join ‘em. 7704646024.

It’s not baby or margarita, nor corn nor whiskey Jan 14, 2021

Are you tired? Are you done with being stuck in your house? Do you like swapping? Donna has just the thing for you.

It’s the intro that’ll get you acquainted with Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. After that, we listen back to the interview with Mark Wills and remember how much the touring industry has changed. Here’s a hint- $39.7 Billion. The good news is that the all-high (Dr. Fauci) has a prediction on when the stage will return to normal. To fulfill our obligation as a semi-music podcast, we take a look at some of the most-used words in country music. It ain’t boots. After that Caddy and Donna cover Nick Saban, Nick from IT and “getting busted on the big screen.” Do you know the story of when Donna and Cadillac Jack got busted at a Kenny show with their “bodyguard?” You will after this episode. Plus hear an update on some of Caddy’s new jobs. Trust Caddy to teach your kids? How about your liver? Laundry? Hire him at 7704646024.

The show doesn’t end without Donna’s newest hit segment (Donna’s Riff Raff from Instagram) and some great news from Nana and Al.

One deer was harmed in the making of this Second Act Jan 12, 2021

Donna and Cadillac Jack are back in the swing of things for this Second Act. It’s a helluva feat, because they arrived at the studio a bit frazzled. You’ll hear why within the first four minutes.

To fulfil the semi-music designation of the podcast, the Jacks move on to covering some recent divorcees and top artists of 2020. Plus one top divorced artist of the year.

Then, we address the theme of pandemic babies. That is, the idea that men are flying all over the place because folks are pursuing super babies. That’s a real sentence from the show. The topic is artificial insemination and how the industry is affected by the pandemic. There’s also discussion of the black market trade of… well, you know. On a serious note: we really do want to hear from folks who have experience and can answer some questions for the show. Caddy has a lot of them. Reach out. 7704646024.

The show rounds the corner with a return to Cameo’s top performer of the year. He’s a big Bulldogs fan, Georgia boy and accountant from The Office. You’ll hear his message for the University of Georgia’s incoming Athletic Director.

Last show wrapped about two hours before the US Capitol riots began. Cadillac and Donna take some time at the end of the show to address what happened. It’s short and solemn and honest.

Do you have a Glock in there? Jan 07, 2021

There are new music releases coming up. For Morgan Wallen, the release came a bit *too* soon. To fulfill the show’s designation as a semi-music podcast, Caddy and Donna explain how Walmart leaked some Wallen.Then, what’s the highest pre-added country album in the history of Apple Music? What does “pre-added” mean? More questions answered in the semi-music segment. After the turn, Melissa calls in to play a quick round of Can’t Beat Jack. Despite her collusion with Donna, the two face a hard time toppling Cadillac “The Establishment” Jack. Donna rounds out the episode with the introduction of her brand new segment. You’ll want to refer to the (other) notes to find the balls. Just… just listen to the segment. It’ll make sense.

Not the first inappropriate dream about Justin Bieber Jan 05, 2021

Donna has been getting spammed by her friends Raphael, Kelly, Jon and David. Cadillac Jack hasn’t heard a peep. Tune into today’s My Second Act while Georgia’s voters head to the polls to declare their favorite friend of Donna. The spending on political ads has become incredibly high and Donna gives some insight on how special issue advertising can work in the broadcast industry.

It’s 2021 and the Jacks have some strong, encouraging words to start the new year. After the intro Cady shares a story about when he’d host industry night at a certain club. In Donna’s words, it’s a seedy story you’ll want to hear.

“I don’t like Tik Tok anymore and I don’t want to talk about it.”

“That’s because you’re on the wrong Tok.”

Hear the reasoning in the middle of the episode.

As the show rounds the corner, Caddy and Donna ask some long-standing questions. What is LDS? Do the Rockettes exercise at Orange Theory? Do they age out?

The show touches on a solemn note as a local police department lost a K9. Caddy shares his thoughts on K9 Karlo, who he had interacted with a few times while on the scene for his Caddy Wagon podcast.

“The Atlanta Falcons killed my dog, Cadillac.” Dec 31, 2020

The final Second Act of 2020 does not disappoint. Donna and Cadillac jack open up with some Kip Moore before addressing what’s going on in Nashville. Then our honorary foreign correspondent Tug Cowart calls in from his trip to Bosnia (sorry about the service). They talk about the trio’s most used emojis, the passing of Phil Niekro and their closing thoughts on 2020. Or as Tug says, “2020-won.” Wait til the end of the call to hear about Tug’s new pup and a reminder of what happened to his last one. After the call, Donna and Caddy have a bit of a family focus. To those of you listening who were away from loved ones this Christmas or faced co-parenting challenges with, the segment is for you.

In the words of Tug Cowart quoting Thomas Rhett,

“If we should take one thing into 2021, let it be this ‘slow down’ mentality we’ve gotten from 2020.”

Follow Caddy at @atlcadillac and Tug at @TugCowart

“Have you ever thought about smothering me with a pillow?” Dec 29, 2020

To the parents listening- how closely do you pay attention to the appropriation of Christmas presents? Are you on the Donna side of the spectrum or Cadillac Jack’s? After running through the balance, the Jacks talk about pillow-smothering conspiracies and a CEO’s sink drinks. It’s an odd start to the show.

The show moves right along and answers Caddy’s question about losing his load. Officer Phil Ritchey fills in the blanks. If you listen closely about 16 minutes in you’ll hear why the Boy Scouts aren’t allowed near the Jack’s house after Christmas.

Then take a step back through time with some of the show’s best clips from 2020. You’ll hear the origin of #LeftonRed, which you still can’t do. You’ll laugh at Caddy’s hibachi excrements- I mean escapades. Even get quizzed on the Jacks’ spiritual journey.

The show hits our usual Pod Peep segment (shoutout to Lisa and Shane) before capping with a lighthearted conspiracy about the voicemail line. Call 7704646024. Test it out.

Ok, who mailed Donna a fruitcake? Dec 22, 2020

Someone mailed Donna a fruitcake. So if that’s you, thanks! Also, why? To fulfill our semi-music category, there a couple industry hits on the agenda:

ERNEST, a new country artist inspired by a blend of Eminem and George Strait.

Thomas Rhett is off Instagram and his fans are off Thomas Rhett

A new piece from Eminem himself

Caddy and Donna went on vacation but went incognito. Would you go to Disney World right now? Would you really?

Postal workers must be done. They’re really over it. Caddy wants to know how much smack they’re getting right now. Donna explains and asks a couple questions about the interworkings of USPS.

Caddy takes the next segment to make a confession. Then if you’re wondering, there is no fondant on a Dairy Queen cake. Caddy would know, because he just went to DQ to get himself a cake. A whole cake. Then Donna went to DQ herself and spent $72. $72. One more time: $72.

The bit transitions to a story about a man who has a relationship with the most dangerous animal in South Africa. Then another story about a plane crash that revealed a love affair. It’s a jam packed and sporadic episode. You’ll love it.

“Have you been in a courtroom recently?” Dec 17, 2020

Disclaimer: If you’re Donna’s InstaShopper, please don’t listen to this episode. Jeannie comes on the show to play a quick game of Can’t Beat Jack. Caddy may be headed to court. It’s quite a show today on My Second Act.

Charley Pride has passed away. The Country Music Awards insist that protocols were followed after he attended the event. Maren Morris introduced some concerns on twitter (now deleted) that have lead to responses from the Awards, artists and other industry professionals. After speaking a bit about Charley, Caddy and Donna move to Taylor Swift. Taylor addressed some rumors about her new releases, and you’ll hear her explanation to Jimmy Kimmel.

What would you be willing to pay for a Cameo from Caddy? He says he’d do it for free. Donna says not so fast. That’s the intro to today’s Cameo segment where the show covers all that’s new in the world of Celebrity Shout Outs.

Caddy introduces some sneak peek of Caddy Wagon before moving to his own Wagon Woes. For the past few weeks, GMC has been flaunting some bonkers commercials where folks surprise their spouses with vehicles. “Read the ******* room, GMC.” Saturday Night Live finally called them out with a spoof this past weekend. You’ll hear the segment on the show as well as some responses from the Jacks. Plus the cliff we’re approaching in the restaurant crisis for Georgia folks and others around the country.

On a lighter note (for Caddy) Corey Dylan is headed to Cali. Caddy's former co-host got a morning show gig at Big FM.

Lastly and bestly, it’s time for a round of Can’t Beat Jack. Jeannie calls in and plays a round with the category “Shots.” (Thanks Donna). One anonymous pod peep has suggested a new job for Caddy. Donna is a fan. In fact, Donna thinks it’s the perfect gig. Text Caddy if he can put you as a reference. 7704646024.

Giving it all away on the way to Western Sizzlin’ Dec 15, 2020

Eric Church dropped a new song ten minutes before this episode was recorded. So, you could say there was a lot on the mind. Here are a couple things that were covered across (a pretty large) spectrum:

The moral legality of fireworks.

Dua Lipa.

Taylor Swift’s new project. (Of the 15 new songs on the album, 6 of them got explicit stamps.)

More on the Carl Lentz situation intro’d last week.

Cadillac Jack’s Taylor problem. (By that we mean he consistently drops names throughout the episode. I’d tell you when they happen but I lost count.)

Donna announcing Caddy’s new job. (It’ll be a stretch, but his first goal is to beat the 2020 revenue of a certain NBC star.)

Moving into an NYC storefront for Christmas.

The Times Person (or People) of the Year.

Milton’s Pinestraw Bandit of the Year.

Having folks come over to candle some ears.

“I’m savage, bushy, itchy and occasionally b****y.” Dec 10, 2020

If you listen to one episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act, it should be this one.

Here are a few things covered, as they speak for themselves:

A few picks on Donna’s Christmas wishlist. Hint: Caddy says no.
Billboard’s Best Songs of 2020, including a segment that could land all of us in a lawsuit with Megan Thee Stallion.
CHRISTMAS TREE SHOPPING SOLO. DEPRESSING. DON’T EVER CALL ME SCROOGE AGAIN. (Programming note: That’s word for word how the segment appeared on the run of show.)
Three instances of bowling. 1) The Jacks’ recent trip to pandemic lanes. 2) The bowling league Caddy was a member of at Hickory’s Colonial Lanes. His team was the Gutter Busters. 3) When Donna’s mom would drop her off at the bowling alley daycare.
Rev. Raphael Warnock and whether or not that’s really his beagle (it’s not).
The best late night jokes about COVID, from Fallon, Kimmel and Seth Meyers. Plus some potential restrictions on those who get it.
New York Times bestselling appster Donna Choate presents her Appy segment. It’s an app you can use to bring back Layaways and secure items when money gets tight.
Quick hits from the radio industry about career updates from Howard Stern and Jason Pullman. It includes a prediction about Cadillac Jack’s former station. Listen. Then check back with us in March.
Messages from some of the show’s best pod peeps.

Broke my rib moving a tweaker Dec 08, 2020

Apple classifies My Second Act as a semi-music podcast. That designation is earned on today’s show, which covers Morgan Wallen, Sam Hunt, Old Dominion and a lot more.

The episode starts off with Morgan Wallen’s return to SNL. It’s a broadcast segment but music is reinforced with the news that Bob Dylyn has sold his entire catalog. One more time: Bob Dylan is selling his entire catalog of music. Donna and Caddy talk about the deal and its implications, along with its comparison with a similar move from Stevie Nicks.

After that Cadillac explains how he broke his rib. Donna follows it up with an explanation of whether or not he really did. Just one thing to say- “we’ll see you back in mid-February.”

The following segment covers some #gapol coverage, which has naturally become a national story. Caddy and Donna explain why Georgia’s Senate seats will have such an impact on the country. As someone who leans right, Caddy wanted to know why one participant wouldn’t show up. From the other side, Donna thinks that person may be a wimp.

Continuing the news, Caddy talks about the second race and offers a primer of its two candidates. Donna brings some great points to the table but none are more important than one particularly hairy suggestion.

The final segment is on a positive mental and emotional movement happening on TV and across the airwaves. Donna and Caddy are just happy to share.

Follow Caddy on Twitter and Instagram @atlcadillac and then text Donna. In that order. Or not. 7704646024.

Just a couple of superspreading swingers Dec 03, 2020

It’s the time of year when Donna is feeling like Uncle Charles. A celebrity is asking for a seven-figure child support agreement. Spotify is wrapping everyone up. All that plus Cadillac Jack outing himself on this episode of My Second Act.

The show starts off with a musical recap of 2020. Caddy and Donna look at what hits have come out of the year and what they’ve been listening to the most. There’s a quick segment on what has happened to Caddy’s masks. It’s a messy one. After it ends, Caddy and Donna talk about The Unhinged. It’s their new binging favorite and has led to a whole new brand of conspiracy theory.

Who would win in a fight- Cadillac Jack or Jake Paul? Who’s more lifted- Snoop Dogg or Mike Tyson? The answers would surprise you. All that covered on the segment sponsored by Toad Testosterone.

Then Cadillac Jack comes forward with his funk. It’s a favorite aspect of the show- being able to talk openly about struggles and how it has affected him the past couple months. He’s worried about how it has impacted the show, which is characteristic. Donna’s response is that it’s part of a bigger picture. Either way it’s a segment that makes the show thankful for the show itself.

As a quick part of the Radio Notes, the show covers come news about Atlanta’s Clark Howard.

The following segment takes a look at child and spousal support, as a certain celebrity couple has made headlines for their incredibly high amounts. Caddy and Donna are familiar with the topic. They talk about what folks are thinking during the process and who really wins in the end.

The last segment covers two things: the 2020 Word of the Year and superspreading swingers. They are not related.

An introduction to How To Get Away With Murder Dec 01, 2020

The combination of Donna’s Christmas love and Caddy’s True Crime obsession has lead to a new tradition in the Jack household.

You could get away with a lot of things- possibly even a murder. One of the Jacks has thought it through. The first, dark segment of the show teases us along that perfect plot.

To fulfil our obligation as a semi-music podcast, the following segment runs through the recent Grammy nominations. You’ll hear why artists do some of the things they do, including their ability to impact huge companies with their fans. As a side car, Donna shares the origin story of her relationship with Shaun Cassidy.

The laziness of wealthy folks can result in some high-paying gigs for the rest of us. (Is that what they mean by Trickle Down Economics?) Caddy introduces a few gigs that are on the market, including some virus-related spots like people making $100+ per hour to stand in line.

Donna’s side car touches on some cognitive behavior therapy. She just wants to know the root of Caddy’s Christmas aversion. And Disney aversion. And cruiseline Aversion.

What would you pay someone to do for you?

The next segment steps into some solemn material. Some news from the British royal family sparks a discussion on struggles women and their partners often experience but seldom discuss.

Yule logs and Tonka toys, a Thanksgiving special Nov 26, 2020

It’s time for some Thanksgiving mishaps. Caddy and Donna celebrate the day by reflecting on a few historical uh-ohs that have occurred over the years. Just for the record: It’s important to remove the bags and packaging from turkeys before cooking.

Speaking of burnt birds, the next segment moves to cover Justin Bieber. Donna is a fan but worries about whether or not people take the artist seriously.

Bars, vacations and quesadillas during a pandemic. Cadillac Jack is familiar with all of them. At the same time he also values the ability to use the pandemic as an excuse for what he doesn’t want to do. Don’t want to see someone? Pandemic. Family wants to come over? Pandemic. Holiday decorations need to go up? Pandemic. The flag is useful and the flag is versatile.

Caddy takes a quick break in the run of show to apologize. He’s got to get something (else) off his chest.

Zoom holiday office parties. Does anything get any worse? Caddy doesn’t even understand why they exist at all. (He’ll also be using another COVID excuse.) Donna has mixed feelings but for more understandable reasons.

Donna and Cadillac Jack met at work, which is important to remember for the next segment. They cover why their first debut as an official couple got a little out of control. Let’s just say the event facility ran out of glassware within a half hour. And the facility had to shut down for a few months. Actually, it never opened back up. Anyways…

Then at a David Allen Coe concert an on air personality was rendered incapacitated in front of the women’s bathroom. The company was not invited back.

Then at a party in front of Papacito’s in Atlanta, an on air personality forgot to wear certain bits of clothing. Some assistant producers had to go around with an umbrella to jump in front of all photographers. The company, and certain personalities, were not invited back.

Then at a holiday party hosted by Norm at the Ritz-Carlton, Caddy got his first taste of “richy salespeople,” who had camped out for the whole week. They were invited back. For a couple years, at least. But the gospel group that had split the ballroom with the company dropped out pretty early.

The show finishes up by covering one woman who lost it when she finds out her husband will be working from home for 7 more months. Others have suggested that the work-from-home movement has disrupted marital affairs. Some suggest rolling their husband up in a carpet and dropping them in a lake. Donna and Caddy evaluate the whole thing and prescribe their own suggestions. Step one: tear out the thermostat.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go pick [My Second Act]’s socks off the floor.

Honey baked and chicken fried Nov 24, 2020

Donna and Caddy brought their ham receipts on today’s episode of My Second Act. It’s a quick coverage of all things Honey-Baked, including what to do if you (or your hubby) forgets to order one.

Then Donna tells the story of what Olivia thought of Zach Brown and the time she got to meet him at the station. One big happy Zamily here on the My Second Act podcast.

The first major segment of the show covers the University of Georgia and why it’s admission process is similar to The Bachelor. For those of you who live outside the state, important to know how selective the school is. The average GPA? 4.0-4.3. Want to know what Caddy got the first time he took the ACT? Listen up. Want to know what Donna got? So do we. She withheld the answer. It’s an extended conversation about secondary education in America and predictions for the future of schooling.

Have you been friending and unfriending folks now that the election is over? Reconsidering the relationships, if you will? Caddy is. Donna is. You know who else? Florida Georgia Line. Caddy and Donna dish the scoop on inter-band relations on the following segment.

The last segment introduces the best part of the week: Appy Time! Donna has a pick that lets folks gift lists and organize what the family wants. It will tell you everything you need to know about what your loved ones want for the holidays (or birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, the whole 9 yards). Check it out. Then text Caddy what you want for Christmas. 7704646024.

Today’s Grand Prize: a parking spot at the Mall of Georgia Nov 19, 2020

Donna is used to plotting and planning, which is something that has gone out the window. This year it will affect her Black Friday shopping, and Cadillac Jack’s Cyber Monday experience. It reminds him of a time when an old Program Director made a judgement call and had Caddy working the holiday. The question is, should My Second Act also give away a parking spot?

Then it’s time to talk about Taylor Swift. Her catalogue has been unwittingly sold. Again. Caddy and Donna cover the news with an interesting twist. Donna explains what a holding company is and why its use would make the transaction more disparaging to Taylor. Caddy touches on the Non Disclosure Agreement aspect and what a contract like that means for the situation.

The next segment covers the new directives announced from Ticketmaster and the legal questions that come with it. Caddy thinks that because Ticketmaster is a ticket broker, their control does not extend to the venue itself. Donna wants to know how it applies to separate third-party vendors like StubHub. It further goes to show that we’re headed into unchartered territory. At least we’re out of the Bermuda Triangle.

The Grammys are coming up, with nominations on Tuesday. Donna and Cadillac Jack run through some of the odds from Vegas and where Harry Styles’ styles originate. (That last part is just a little sidecar from Donna)

Caddy is exhausted. There is some bedroom real estate being disputed. Donna knew that this was going to come up. She brought receipts and Caddy brought rhetoric. A tale as old as time.

It’s Game Time in the Second Act nation. Brandon Engels calls in from Atlanta to play a quick match of Can’t Beat Jack. The topic from Donna has to do with this upcoming Turkey Day.

Before sending the show out, Caddy and Donna cover a quick change in Zoom’s rules for Thanksgiving. It seems like it could lead to a good and healthy option for seeing family in 2020. Caddy and Donna reflect on the last holiday season and how family dynamics have changed in the time since. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but Caddy and Donna still have gone about a year without hugging loved ones. (PS- #FreeAl)

Unfortunately, though, the problem with people Zoom bombing and flashing has not been solved. We’ll wait with baited breath. It’s like one long period of Daylight Savings.

Warning: be careful of listening to the end of the show if you have a weak stomach. Or if you have an affinity for soft serve ice cream. If you don’t, give it a listen. Then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.

The wink and why Donna was the only one who caught it Nov 17, 2020

There’s something about Thomas Rhett. When artists get rolling they have a tendency to consistently put out fantastic material and that’s exactly what is happening with Thomas Rhett. That’s the first topic touched on during today’s Second Act.

The conversation kicks off Donna and Caddy’s recap of the CMAs. There was a lot to cover, including how artistic Eric Church can be outside of music, and it’s all discussed on the show. Despite how the public responded to the awards (so says the ratings) Donna and Cadillac Jack both thought it was a great performance.

The Uncorked Concert Series at Painted Horse Winery had it first performance this past weekend. Joanna Cotton took time to sit with Caddy and Donna and put a few things to rest, like whether or not Eric Church really did drop the “E.” Listen to her interview, which starts about 21 minutes into this episode.

The interview just about finishes out the show, but not until Donna and Caddy move onto Carl Lentz and Hillsong. It’s a great segment to leave the show with, and the lesson that everyone has their own road within spirituality. It’s a good bet that you haven’t heard the last of Carl Lentz.

It’s also not the last time you’ve heard from Cadillac Jack. But if you can’t wait, text him at 7704646024.

Live from the Four Seasons Landscaping and Probation Office, it’s Cadillac Jack Nov 12, 2020

One, two, three, four, five, six… or something. With all the counting going on these days, Donna is having nightmares of her time as UGA Zeta’s rush chair. She’s also consistently asking herself W.W.D.P.D. For those who don't already know, that’s “What would Dolly Parton do?”

The Country Music Awards have not escaped the effects of COVID-19. Artists have dropped out and performances have been moved around. The next episode of the podcast will feature a recap of the awards, as well as a quick conversation with Joanna Cotton. Ms. Cotton will tune into the show after her performances at the CMAs and the Uncorked Concert Series.

Morgan Wallen is having some remorse about his University of Alabama / Saturday Night Live incident. Caddy and Donna discuss his actions, reactions and why he’ll end up just fine.

Did someone say "Pay-For-Play?” Not us and definitely not Cadillac Jack. It’s not included or mentioned in the second segment of the show. Nor is a certain past producer in terrestrial radio who had a habit for hot mics. It’s hard to expect on-air talent, including broadcast journalists, to not let something slip when hot mics are involved. So says MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian. And My Second Act’s Cadillac Jack.

Then it’s time for a round of Can’t Beat Jack. Aaron Gresham calls in to take on Cadillac Jack and see if he can beat him at his own game. (Here’s a hint: you’ll want to listen.)

It’s a turbulent week. SEC Football is cancelled. Mike Tyson uses a prosthetic penis and calls it his Whizinator. Caddy remembers a time or two when he has purchased some urine. Donna laments. Caddy explains.

Before closing the show, Donna wonders- doesn’t 11Alive’s Chris Holcomb also have a Whizinator?

Text Caddy and let him know. 7704646024.

DECLASSIFIED: It's time for Cadillac Jack to get something off his chest. Nov 10, 2020

You called. We listened. The verdict is in and the episode has been declassified. Here's what Cadillac Jack had to get off his chest...

Cadillac Jack is under the gun. It doesn’t take long, though, for him to admit he knew it was coming. Caddy has been busted. Today’s Second Act starts off with Cadillac Jack under the gun. It doesn’t take long, though, for him to admit he knew it was coming.

After the brief confessional, Caddy and Donna move on to welcome Charlotte to the studio for a few playlist additions. It transitions well into a short segment on what it’s like to take your kids to the doctor. Or your husband to the doctor. Or the doctor to your husband.

Then Caddy brings a couple Quick Hits to the table. They include a near-explosion at a Home Depot, the Return of (another) Beaver and a removed SNL guest. The section carries its own “Listeners Enter At Your Own Risk” label.

Then it is Tuesday after all, which means the third segment is a game of Can’t Beat Jack. Taylor Garland from Cherokee County, Georgia calls in to play a match. Before she leaves, Taylor and Donna find common ground in their grumblings of Caddy and his Me-So-Phony condition.

Call Caddy. He’s bored some days. 7704646024.

Nothing is worse than having the smallest tree in the room. Nov 05, 2020

Cadillac Jack has been trying to suppress Donna’s vote all week. At the same time it was Caddy whose ballot was flagged when he got to the precinct. We’ll see which one will end up on the rolls.

Eric Church has a few new songs out. Caddy thinks that means he has a double album in the pipeline. That’s because Eric Church with no street week, promotion or interviews, dropped Mr. Misunderstood.

The show takes a turn and dives into the dichotomy or Scooter Braun, Scott Borchetta and Taylor Swift. Caddy and Donna discuss publishing contengencies, like when an artist is restricted from performing or obligated to produce a certain number of albums. Listen and watch for more on the topic in upcoming shows.

“Whole Foods makes me shake. It’s not just a store, it’s a machine.” Caddy feels discriminated against when he goes into Whole Foods. Donna thinks it may be warranted. It all shakes out in the fourth segment of the show. PS - As a comfort item, Cadillac Jack brought home a bag of peppered beef jerky and an entire pineapple upside down cake. And some gingerbread popcorn. And brown butter cookies.

The show rolls through some presidential trivia. (“Who could say no to petroleum jelly?”)

If you didn’t have enough to be worked up about, stay tuned for the fourth segment of the show- laundry day. As Donna says, it’s compelling content but we really needed to talk about Caddy’s processes. It’s… worrisome. And leads to the question of “What are you freakishly good or bad at?”

There’s a pound of Libby’s Pumpkin in the pantry. Is it for pie? Unfortunately not. It’s for a pretty bAnal reason.

It has always been important to have the whole family under one roof. And it’s been that way for a long time. But that’s changing, as Wil is about to move away to Knoxville. The show ends on a more serious, down to earth tone as Caddy and Donna share their initial reaction to the change. Donna feels like she and Wil are ready, she’s excited for the next chapter. Caddy is having a harder time with it. Sometimes it’s just nice to have everyone at dinner.

Naked, afraid and on air with a presidential body double Nov 03, 2020

There was a horrible storm in the southeast- Tropical Storm Zeta. Some of its effects were felt by Donna and Cadillac Jack.

After giving a brief report, Caddy and Donna move on to covering how it relates to Naked and Afraid. Let’s put it this way- if you were on the show, how much pixelization would you need?

We make this promise to you: there is (almost) no talk of the 2020 election on this podcast. The one time it does come up today is when Donna pitches her theory that Melania Trump has a body double. “I’m not going there.”

A few bits of big news in the life of Cadillac Jack. The McRib is back. Parents are moving away from testing. Power tools (including coffee makers) are over rated.

Then hear a snippet from the Mark Wills interview and get a bit of the perspective of a singer-songwriter in 2020.

“It’s very nice.” - Borat, Kazakhstan and Cadillac Jack Oct 29, 2020

Christmas has been cancelled for the Jacks. Roscoe had to go to the emergency room and his treatments drained the holiday slush fund. He’s doing much better now but it goes to show: be careful what you get into in Cadillac Jack’s backyard.

After filling everyone in on Roscoe’s status, Caddy and Donna move on to Borat. Whether you’re a fan or not, everyone must acknowledge the strength of the work. If the Tourism Department for Kazakhstan can appreciate it, so can you. That’s why the segment includes a clip that the international agency has used to promote the country.

After filling in a couple plugs, the Jacks move on to covering their night out in Alpharetta. It involves a curb, a bar and one cool mom. Also Megan Thee Stallion (@theestallion), a cross-body bag and an unmarked taxi. We’ll put it this way: we really had to cut the segment down.

Caddy gives Greg Barnhill a call around 20 minutes into the show. Greg is joining Caddy at the Uncorked Concert Series and gives a peek behind the curtain into what it’s like to be a songwriter. It’s a quick conversation that you’ll want to hear.

Then it’s the best time of the week: Donna’s Appy Segment. Donna’s pick is a way to stretch your brain, pass the time on commutes or get inspired. It’s an overall great way to get starTED learning about fields that interest you.

To close out the show, we hear from Officer Ritchey. The Jacks had been wondering about the legal nuances of making a citizens’ arrest and Ritchey has some answers. He calls in to share his thoughts (and stop Caddy from hogtying strangers).

It's your last chance to like Hemp Farmacy - Alpharetta on Facebook, so make sure you do. Then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.

Interview: Mark Wills and the state of the music industry Oct 27, 2020

On this special show of the My Second Act podcast, Mark Wills sits down (virtually) with Donna and Cadillac Jack.

You’ll be surprised to hear what it’s like to have your world inverted as a touring musician, to interact with fans through a new channel (From The Bunker!) and to travel the country with your family in an RV…. for fun. This is an episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act that you won’t want to miss.

Taking the Mercedes-Benz sprinter van over to the nudie campground Oct 22, 2020

Would you ever join a nudist colony? What about visit a nude beach? What’s the difference? Donna and Cadillac Jack start the show answering those questions. Unfortunately there aren’t any tips on how to hold the cup of coffee.

Then some quick hits from Garth Brooks, Mariah Carey and Rich Robinson. It makes Donna ask if popular music will ever be the same. Find out November 20th with Garth.

The show is excited to have Mark WIlls on next week to talk about what these past months have been like from the perspective of an artist. Mark and the Jacks go way back, all the way to The Buckboard days when Mark was the lead singer of “The Buckboard Bandits.” Cadillac Jack talks about some of the questions he is looking forward to asking. It should be a very real, insightful and down to earth conversation that you won’t hear anywhere else.

Would you live in a van down by the river right now? Just ask Chris Farley in his classic SNL skit. Caddy and 52% of Americans say they’d be open to living in a van during the pandemic. Donna isn't so sure but after the first segment, she may come around.

Caddy and Donna take the next segment to talk about the importance of voting. They have a few unique reasons that you haven’t been hearing- setting a good example for your kids. It’s sending a message of what’s important- regardless of who gets the vote.

Caddy gets stood up in the third segment and Officer Phil Ritchey will have to pay for it.

18th Century erotic poetry with Ben Burnett Oct 20, 2020

Have you ever been in the bar, barefoot, at last call, when the Cowboys show up? Donna has, and knows it has happened to Caddy too, because she was with him when it happened.

Believe it or not there was a time when some Florida Georgia Line was considered “new country” and certain radio stations wouldn’t play it. Bet that has changed since then. Caddy and Donna talk about it and why it’s important for songs to have an intro. Here’s a hint: without an intro it’s impossible for radio to sell the song or sell the artist.

How do you organize your memes? Where do you get them? How do you use them? Those are the gripping questions that steal the second segment of the show. They might even lead into a new Appy segment next week.

Then it’s time for round 6 and to see if the great Ben Burnett can beat Jack. Ben calls in to the show to play a quick round of Can’t Beat Jack and talk shop with the Choates. Skip forward to about 19 minutes in to hear the game but hold onto your hats- at least one contestant runs the board.

Don't forget to give Hemp Farmacy - Alpharetta a like on Facebook to win a Halloween gift basket. Then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.

Cadillac Jack tested positive. Well, so says Cadillac Jack. Oct 15, 2020

Caddy is self-diagnosing. This week the ailments have been racking up and Cadillac Jack knows what prescription he needs.

It’s important for folks to bank their fame. Whether industry-deep personalities or organic rising stars, you never want to be the last person at the party. Well, unless you’re Cadillac Jack. On a serious note, handling fame and admiration well is a trait that can end up being very useful.

With a few exceptions, Caddy has been blessed to have high quality coaches and program directors. Donna and Caddy spend a few minutes covering what that productive management looks like and how it can help.

The Bachelor is back. Caddy and Donna talk about the franchise, but not in the way you’d expect. The Bachelorette recently enforced its contract, forcing a contestant to pay up for “making disparaging comments.” It makes history and

Set your own goals with Donna’s Appy of the Week. It brings you into a supportive community and uses that platform to help build you up. It’s the best segment of the week.

Then to round out the show, Caddy and Donna run through a few heart-warming updates in the Atlanta area.

Do Caddy a favor and like Hemp Farmacy Alpharetta’s Facebook page. You could win a gift basket from one of Second Act’s longtime supporters. Then, text Caddy about it. 7704646024.

It’s time for Cadillac Jack to get something off his chest. Oct 13, 2020

The secret is out. Caddy has been busted. Today’s Second Act starts off with Cadillac Jack under the gun. It doesn’t take long, though, for him to admit he knew it was coming.

After the brief confessional, Caddy and Donna move on to welcome Charlotte to the studio for a few playlist additions. It transitions well into a short segment on what it’s like to take your kids to the doctor. Or your husband to the doctor. Or the doctor to your husband.

Then Caddy brings a couple Quick Hits to the table. They include a near-explosion at a Home Depot, the Return of (another) Beaver and a removed SNL guest. The section carries its own “Listeners Enter At Your Own Risk” label.

Then it is Tuesday after all, which means the third segment is a game of Can’t Beat Jack. Taylor Garland from Cherokee County, Georgia calls in to play a match. Before she leaves, Taylor and Donna find common ground in their grumblings of Caddy and his Me-So-Phony condition.

Call Caddy. He’s bored some days. 7704646024.

BONUS: How CBD can help your life with Cadillac Jack Oct 10, 2020

Christy and Richard Roth join Cadillac Jack in the studio for this bonus episode of My Second Act. The three of them chat about CBD as the Roths answer questions from listeners. You'll hear about the difference between products, what they can treat and why it's so important to buy CBD from folks you trust.

Go Like the Hemp Farmacy and win a Halloween gift basket at the end of the month. Questions? Give them a call at 770-676-0853.

The night Donna took flowers to David Lee Roth Oct 08, 2020

Eddie Van Halen passed away. Caddy and Donna speak about the history of Van Halen and some of their own memories surrounding the group. Donna collected, saved and then camped out in a Ford Expedition to see Van Halen. That last one actually resulted in a short-fused relationship.

Then Donna and Caddy talk about Nathan Apodaca, a father from Wyoming whose love of Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice has paid off. It’s a light, heartwarming story that’ll give you a smile and boost Fleetwood Mac’s streaming numbers.

The show was right- Saturday Night Live was pretty dang good this past weekend. Donna and Caddy cover a couple of the highlights before turning to this weekend’s SNL, which be hosted by Bill Burr with musical guest Morgan Wallen.

On a similar note, some news has been released about this year’s Country Music Awards. You’ll hear a quick host recap from Caddy and Donna, plus a disclaimer from Dolly Parton. Reba McEntire

Trump, Suburbans and PPE. Caddy wants to know- who signed off on this? It’s sort of like how Kenny Chesney used to be moved around concert venues hidden in a road case. Did that happen here? Where are the emails? Where are the road cases?

Everyone needs a shot of Betsie. Oct 06, 2020

On this Second Act you’ll get a few potty jokes and one quick game of Can’t Beat Jack.

Have you ever had to make a call from inside the restroom? Well, you’re not alone. Be careful tuning in to the first segment of the show, when Caddy and Donna cover a recent trip to Benihana.

Moving right along, the show plays a new game: Are You Smarter Than A [6th] Grader? It’s because there was recently an article that has everyone worried. Apparently the average parent is no better at math or science than a 6th grader. On a serious note, the reason it makes it onto the show is because of the increased pressure and stakes that grade school students are experiencing. When traditionally there has been movement as kids graduate from year to year, now folks may be less-inclined to focus on school. Grades, motivation and future inspiration seem like they’re taking a dip.

Betsie Richards comes on the show to play a game of You Can’t Beat Jack. The category is “people who are -gists.” All ties go to Cadillac Jack and we foresee that becoming a problem.

Call Caddy at 7704646024 or tweet @ATLCadillac and tell him what you think. Just don't do it from Benihana.

Saturday Night Live is going to be really good this weekend. Oct 01, 2020

Have you ever been asked to play beer pong at 1 PM in the afternoon? What about poker? For Donna the answer is yes- both happened this week.

The first presidential debate was Tuesday and that only means one thing- Saturday Night Live is going to be really good this weekend. Caddy and DOnna run through a couple clips from the “debate” and talk about some of the more serious implications. Then you’ll here a couple lighthearted clips that will definitely catch jokes on SNL (which returns this Saturday).

Did you know that Daughters Day was this week? Caddy did. Donna did. Want to guess which one celebrated it?

Then finally tt’s the best time of the week: Appy. Donna’s new favorite app is all about meal prepping and healthy eating.

As usual the show rounds off with a Pod Peep or two before rolling off for a weekend of cold opens. Take a listen, give a watch and then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.

How much would you pay for the last piece of Michael Jackson? Sep 29, 2020

It’s a tough show today on Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Everything gets rolling when Donna brings to the table a story of a man who just didn’t want to get rescued. If it was Caddy in the quarry, she would have been ticked. If it was Donna, she wouldn’t have wanted anyone to intervene.

After explaining that one particular difference between men and women, the Jacks move to covering a few quick hits: some NYC policies regarding certain public actions and a new Michael Jackson “souvenir” for sale. After those two sound bites, Caddy and Donna cover a few bits of Entertainment/Music news.

Then it’s finally time for a new round of Can’t Beat Jack. Holly Bagby calls in to play live for the first. She is used to playing from the road, but this is her first time live on the show. It’s an “abbreviated” edition- you’ll hear why.

After the game, Donna and Caddy cover some fresh statistics from Pollstar. Let’s just say, we’re all about to see a whole new kind of live event. The show rounds off as it always does with a pod peep or two. Be one. Text 7704646024 or find Caddy @atlcadillac.

Unlike Joe Rogan, we can say whatever we want. Sep 24, 2020

Donna is going grave robbing before the bodies are even warm. She’s headed into cubicles looking for keyboards, pens and left behind medicine balls.

It’s Alicia Keys’ street week. If you’ve been keeping up with this semi-music podcast, you’ll know that means Alicia has an album coming out. It’s also the first street week we’ve seen since the pandemic (or whatever you’d like to call it) interrupt the norm. It is the first time Caddy and Donna see an answer to their question: will the entertainment industry ever look the same?

Then Donna takes a trip back to Ridgemont High and gives Caddy a tour of what he has missed. Hear Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston replaying a scene and taking us all down memory lane. It’s a clip from a charity read by an actor who lives down the road from Caddy and Donna. Then the show gets slapped an Explicit rating after another trip, this one up Schitt’s Creek. The Jacks use some of their podcasting perks that Jimmy Kimmel, the Emmys and Joe Rogan don’t enjoy.

The show gets its semi-politics podcast rating on the following segment, one that covers the recent passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It’s a solemn segment that is lightened with the fact that Donna loves a good fall video. And Mitch “The Turtle” McConnell obliges.

To end the show, Caddy and Donna talk about the early stages of their relationship after a listener called in to ask about kindling.

@atlcadillac. 7704646024. You know what to do.

Trazzies and Ding-a-Lings Sep 22, 2020

Donna and Caddy are having some food fights. Donna thinks that Roscoe undervalues Boars Head. Caddy had to leave dinner the other night because of some particular taco shells.

There is a lot of tossing and turning going on upstairs at the Jack house. On the following segment, Caddy talks through some of the possible reasons.

Tug Cowart phones into the show to recap the Academy of Country Music Awards and play a round of You Can’t Beat Jack. That’s the new and totally original 20-second pop culture trivia contest here on My Second Act. Tune in to hear who wins and who ends up with a below-the-belt selfie.

The show closes with a clip from Donna’s latest episode of Hustle. Listen and you’ll hear a piece of the performance from singer-songwriter Aidan Anderson.

EARLY: Caddy and Donna's recap of the 2020 ACM Awards Sep 18, 2020

As a treat we're releasing this bonus episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act early! Tune in for a quick recap of the 2020 ACM Awards.

Five seconds of frisky Fall Sep 17, 2020

McDonalds has gone mining. Their partnership with Travis Scott has taken a turn that, according to Caddy, is dastardly brilliant. It all started a few months ago when the rapper blew off social distancing, pulled up in a Lamborghini and looked for a burger. Donna explains why the event’s origins might be a little different and thinks it’s the kind of marketing the money can’t buy.

The topic blends perfectly into the best segment of My Second Act: Donna’s Appy. Hear about a new way to care and learn about your little green friends.

Selfcare has become so much more important recently but it’s also been a lot more… awkward. Some things that were once relaxing, like “Caddy Time,” can feel labored. Still, there are moments that can be savored.

Atlanta Braves’ Freddy (?) Freeman jumped on a jet to fly home and see his son’s first T-Ball practice. The middle segment turns sentimental as Caddy and Donna reflect on the relationship between parents and children.

Lastly Carole Baskin and Chris Evans make their way back to the show for an Entertainment News segment. The bottom line is: how low would you go, and how long would you linger there?

Come back Saturday morning for the ACM recap. Then text Caddy about it. Just remember, it’s not where you start, it’s where you end.

All the love languages, like d******** and funeral processions. Sep 15, 2020

The Jacks are feeling the love. That's why Donna brought five love languages to the table and forgot all the white wine. They're all covered on the first segment of the show right before Caddy “Get’s Down On It.”

There’s an upcoming collaboration between Travis Scott and McDonalds. It’s actually a pretty big deal, as the last person to score a similar deal was Michael Jordan. All you have to do to participate is use a certain phrase in the Mickey D’s drive-thru. Caddy tried it for himself, sharing both his experience and wait time.

The ACM Awards are coming up. There will be a bonus show covering the results, but first Donna and Caddy run through a couple previews. Luke Combs, Taylor Swift and Eric Church are all ones to watch. The debates are coming up, too, and some of the plans bode well for the podcast industry.

The 2020 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is cancelled. Tik Tok has been saved. Chris Evans’ pecker has seen the light of day. Donna and Caddy touch all three in today’s Entertainment News.

Rolling out of the segment, the show covers a traditionally Southern method of paying respects before closing with a few minutes of Donna's least favorite game.

BONUS: Christy and Richard Roth from Hemp Farmacy Sep 12, 2020

As a Saturday treat, we’re releasing a special episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Christy and Richard Roth stopped in to the studio to talk with Caddy and Donna about Hemp Farmacy. Tune in to hear about CBD from the experts instead of listening to the Jacks talk about Donna’s plantar fasciitis.

The sing-songy Second Act Sep 10, 2020

The first segment touches on the upcoming Halloween holiday. Wait, what? In all seriousness, Donna says that couple costumes have always been a part of the Jack’s relationship. They run through a couple of past favorites and pitch a few ideas for this year.

Then Donna gives an update on her 141 campaign. She is charging everyone to do one new, productive thing for one month. Donna has heard from a lot of folks about their progress and wants to encourage others to take it on.

One of the subjects Donna wants to pick up the 141 challenge is on the show today. That person is Cadillac Jack. Hear where he is on his own growth journey.

Then Donna and Caddy hear a clip from Caddy Wagon that speaks to the question: Can you make a left on red? After Officer Ritchey gives his answer, Donna moves into the best segment of the month: Appy.

The Appy is a great way to get discounts on medicine and other prescriptions. If you or someone in your family regularly goes to a pharmacy, make sure to listen in.

Let’s get reacquainted and play a 20 second pop culture trivia showdown. Sep 08, 2020

It’s another great show on the My Second Act semi-music podcast. This one has games, background and three advertisements.

First of all, what’s your checkout policy? During COVID, some folks are encouraging others to check yourselves out. That’s the advice that Donna wants to listen to. Caddy has some opposing views about who should be checking out who right now.

It’s game time in the Cadillac Jack nation. Before they play a live lightning round, Caddy and Donna introduce themselves to new listeners, providing some color for the ride they’re about to take. Familiarize yourself with backstories and the whole field of recurring characters, from Roscoe to Richard. Then, it’s time to play.

Susan Clark chimes in to the show today to take on Caddy in a 20 second pop culture trivia game called You Can’t Beat Jack. It’s a completely original and never before done broadca- er, podcast segment where quick-fire answers are the way to win. Tune in, shout out and then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.

Cadillac Jack bounced a check to the Country Music Association Sep 03, 2020

Donna is going back to school. Caddy wants to take up some new instruments. It’s a normal Thursday in 2020.

The first segment of the show covers some of the recent Country Music Awards nominations. To start, Garth Brooks got his wish. Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and Jason Aldean. Here’s a name you weren’t expecting: Justin Bieber. Then a name you were expecting but didn’t see? Kelsea Ballerinio. Caddy explains why and answers the popular question of who exactly can vote in the CMAs.

The second segment of the show covers some music news for the State of Georgia and specifically, the City of Atlanta. It’s estimated that 20,000 music professionals live and work in the state. Based on the show’s semi-music designation from Apple, it’s unclear where Caddy and Donna fit in there.

On the following segment, Caddy and Donna talk about the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman. He was an incredible actor whose diagnosis was kept under wraps from almost everyone. It’s a powerful example that those around you can be dealing with immense struggles.

Caddy and Donna turn around the show with a quick game of Which Came First? It’s a trivia game that will be a warm up to thie upcoming round of You Don’t Know Jack. Here are some early vision The Empire State Building or Clint Eastwood? King King or Ping Pong?

The newest season of Dancing With The Husband Killers is coming soon. The featured entrant? That’s right. It’s Carole Baskin. After that she is headed to Animal Crossing to put up campaign signs. Caddy explains the nuances of the situation and why it has to do with the lack of Joe Biden boat parades.

Donna and Cadillac Jack almost make it to the fifth segment without earning the show its “Explicit” tag. This one comes from the discussion of OnlyFans. Donna thinks that it promotes the concept of directly paying creators for their content. She says it will move away from “the naughty bits.” Caddy says he isn’t interested in any of that.

Get your flushot at Publix. Pick up your $10 gift card. Then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.

Clarence Clemons, will you sign my boarding pass? Sep 01, 2020

Today’s episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is a quick hit.

First off, Susan Clark intro’s the show. Not only does Susan Clark does she pipe us in, but comes with fighting’ words. Susan is the only person who has (allegedly) Beat Caddy twice. We can’t remember the old name, but we’ll have a rematch of You Don’t Know Jack to settle the score.

Donna and Caddy cover their feelings about upcoming holidays like Labor Day and Halloween.

After that, Donna tells Caddy about the time she was encouraged to steal Clarence Clemons’ hip replacement card. Spoiler Alert: she returned it to him.

The show fulfills the music portion of its Semi-Music Podcast classification by covering some upcoming songs. The first ones are upcoming classic Christmas songs covered by a few Country artists. Donna and Caddy are not fans. There’s a hunch that Tug Cowart isn’t either.

Then Donna talks about a new project from Chris Stapleton that features some folks from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Caddy went on a Daddy / Daughter field trip this week. It was a little unconventional- the two went to the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office and Morgue. He shares the experience on the middle segment of today’s show.

Statesboro. Bullet County. It’s a new target for the White House. Caddy and Donna tackle the situation on the third major segment. Hear their thoughts on the school, the parents and the nation. It leads right into a discussion on some changes in national testing for schools and prep courses in the college application process.

Check out Caddy Wagon and Hustle, both podcasts are out now. When you’re done, tell us what you think. Find Caddy on Twitter @atlcadillac or text 770-464-6024.

A finger-lickin’ good beaver and two bounced checks. Aug 27, 2020

Listen closely: there are some absolute gems in this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.

Quick PSA from Donna to start of today’s show. It really seems like this year has been a loop, so don’t miss those deadlines.

Then Caddy and Donna recap the newest episode of Hustle, an interview with Ethan Daniels, before previewing a s[ecial edition of My Second Act. Watch for a bonus show covering the Academy of Country Music Awards in just a few weeks.

Caddy has seen a few beavers over the years and is surprised that they do not all look alike. Donna explains why. Caddy thinks. It sounds like a new game… All it took was a trash bag, a pair of cooking tongs and two and half minutes for Caddy to get rid of his opossum. Donna and the Ring got the whole thing on tape.

Speaking of which, Donna wants to know what’s going on with Caddy’s tools. As Caddy recently said himself, “Tug you’ve known me for 20 years. Do you think I own a shovel?” Listen to minute 16 to hear why a bike rider had to stop and remove their helmet when behind Caddy’s truck.

What are the 10 things around the house every one should know how to do? Donna brought a list. So did Caddy. How do you stack up?

Donna’s Appy/Appie of the Week makes a big splash. Here’s a hint - it is not about your local recreation pool availability. Caddy is a BIG fan and gets upset that he didn’t know about it in March. Don’t worry Caddy- you’ll be swimming in no time.

There’s a new segment at the end of the show where Caddy goes through a couple Quick Hits. From PSLs and KFC to Sweet Treats and TLC. Plus, another bounced check.

Would you pay $0.69 on iTunes for this podcast? Aug 25, 2020

To start the podcast, Donna explains her new 1-for-1 campaign. It’s a response to how much noise there is going on right now (which is a lot). We’re very excited about the project and hope it brings everyone some positive growth.

As it has become tradition, an early segment of the show is covering what’s in the music pipeline. Cadillac Jack and Donna cover a project from Brothers Osborne and how they rank in Outlaw Country. Then Dynamite lands on the Hype Song Playlist, as BTS launches their first entirely-english song.

Continuing their Semi-Music podcast theme, Caddy and Donna go over the New Artist winners from the Academy of Country Music.

Caddy has some news about Netflix that comes with a confession. The intro brings a new segment to the show called “Maria or not?” Wait, no, it’s “Hear and Tell.”

After the game, Caddy and Donna move on to some of the unexpected impacts of these new masks. From social implications at school to environmental concerns that sound awfully familiar.

Before the show ends, Donna talks about the changes she wants to make in the bedroom. Caddy likes the idea so much, he said he’d sleep in it.

Billy Oliver intro’d the show. He was Donna’s across-the-street neighbor growing up. She has a lot of fond memories of the neighborhood crew playing softball, baseball and going to the Oliver’s house to watch Evel Knievel. Nowadays Billy is married and has a son who is training to be an advanced EMT. Billy just got his 25-year company pin, though we hope his 26th year is better than Caddy’s! He is so positive and encouraging and we are so glad for his support.

Check out Caddy Wagon and Hustle, both podcasts are out now. When you’re done, tell us what you think. 770-464-6024.

“Everyone needs a Weiner on their birthday.” Aug 20, 2020

There is a lot to cover on today’s Happy Birthday Donna podcast.

If we have any listeners who are a part of the Secret Service, please call in. Donna wants to run her codename by you.

The show kicks off with coverage of new country music that is in the pipeline. Tim McGraw has a very special “first” for album release parties. We get an update on Keith Urban’s new project, which will feature Pink and Breland. (Seriously, don’t touch his truck.)

Donna and Caddy reflect on past celebrations as well as some ideal ones. Asking for a friend- has anyone heard from David Hester?

Caddy went out and got cards. Because he has been listening to the podcast and paying attention, each gift has an animal theme. Donna has been flooded by videos, stories and calls from listeners sharing their own reactions to the last show.

On a related note Joe Exotic has been trending on Twitter. Caddy explains why and that it has to do with Susan B. Anthony.

The middle segment today covers an article titled “Man punches great white shark to save wife: ‘You just react’”

Donna wants to know if Caddy would do the same. Caddy thinks he would look like a seal, so he’d already be in hot water. But to answer the question, “I would quickly swim to shore.”

Joe Biden is officially the Democratic nominee. The Republican National Committee will be next week. Caddy and Donna cover both, including Bernie’s effort to livestream.

The show rounds up with a flood of pod peeps, a bit about Caddy’s bread factory experiences and some clarification from Donna about how to plan children. Or, how to try and plan children.

Silver Fox had the show’s intro. Ray is the patriarch of Appen Media. He landed in Atlanta after a stint in Chile (yes, that Chile) working the shipping industry and then years at the Miami Herald, where he met Christina. He’s also a bit of a renaissance man who recently thru-hiked the AT and writes a regular column.

Don’t forget to subscribe to Caddy Wagon with Ritchey and Raider if you haven’t already. When you’re finished, text Caddy about it. 7704646024.

“You need to mute your Zoom call and come deal with this toilet.” Aug 17, 2020

Another show in paradise here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.

Luke Bryan biked a century- aka 100 miles- which makes Donna wants to summit something. She is thinking Machu Pichu or Everest. Caddy wants her to start with Kennesaw Mountain. Donna wants to swim across the English Channel. Caddy wants her to start with swimming across the Wills Park pool.

Caddy uses the segment to cover Country music’s hottest new artist with a song that ended up in the Top 10 within 24 hours of release.

Then Donna talks about why she thinks Caddy is not as invested and interested as he once was. According to Caddy, he just doesn’t like animal videos.

Who has been to more health centers? Caddy went a lot because they have free… candy. Donna has been back when she had… strep. They cover some of the COVID-19 considerations that the University of Georgia’s Health Center may have released to students. Some of the recommendations are inappropriate for the show to broadcast. Just, consider wearing a mask.

Little Hyde loved sugar. So much so that reminiscing caused Caddy to pull a U-Turn and head up Post Road. As Donna says, if you’re not from Atlanta, “that’s out in the middle of nowhere.” It causes Dona and Caddy to jump segments and talk about the newly re-discovered Nature Valley and Sunbeam stores. Caddy took so many laps that he had to get a cart. Rolls. Buns. 4 for $5. Turns out his food pyramid is made up of sugar, cinnamon and high fructose corn syrup. The segment caps with a reminder of just how connected memories are to food.

Have your kids been all up in your business? Donna thinks yes- and she literally means her business. “Like a whole new gang of coworkers.” Nowadays everyone has to get creative about how they create alone time. At the end of the day, the kids really are the heroes. That’s one reason Charlotte was a red-plater this week.

Don’t miss the Caddy Wagon with Ritchey and Raider, the newest podcast from Cadillac Jack. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. When you’re done, text Caddy. 7704646024.

Drop Caddy's name and score a free edible. Aug 13, 2020

WARNING: Those with mysophonia (see episode _______) may find this episode irritating. That’s because Caddy has to consistently open and chew his edibles throughout the show. Drop his name at Hemp Farmacy and pick one up for yourself.

How long will this go on? When will it end? That’s what Caddy has been thinking about Donna’s new workspace.

The country music hall of fame inductees have been announced. At least one of them is wildly overdue- Hank Williams Jr. That’s why the first segment touches on “Old Habits.”

Speaking of past due, Phil Collins has reappeared on the iTunes Top 10. Caddy explains why. PS - who has 6 hours to learn a dance? Caddy only has 6 hours to watch them.

Donna wants to know more about how artists are handling press while being at home so much. It’s a bit hard to hear because Caddy has to open and eat his edible. It’s a long story… Still, some country artists have to work through changes in their home lives. For the technically challenged, it’s a bit harder to set up these online interviews and shows. On the upside, artists can be a bit more comfortable in their own homes. That is, unless they’d rather be out in the wild. Donna mentions at least one artist who would. Luke Bryan, for instance, says that he’s never had more time to go fishing.

“I’m 21 and I’ve never been kissed.” That’s the intro to the next segment. Caddy and Donna discuss six people and the big life experiences that they HAVEN’T had.

Naturally that leads into a good ol’ game of Never Have I Ever. As Caddy says, the questions “start pedestrian” before “getting dirty.”

On the third and final segment of the show, Donna and Caddy talk about the Atlanta Braves. As one of the few sports organizations owned by a publicly-traded company, looking at the team gives a peek behind the door of national athletics. The Braves saw a 95% drop in revenue for Q2. No players are receiving more than 37% of their contracted salaries. Wendys locations are closing. Donna points out that we’re just now starting to see the “large, long term” effects on national scale. Caddy gives his prediction for what the next few months will bring. We’re long on podcasts.

Surf naked. Aug 11, 2020

Welcome to Hustle with Bill Rawl- oh, wait. Wrong one. We’re here at the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act (a semi-music music podcast) just like we are every Tuesday and Thursday.

Donna went skiing last week. It wasn’t in the mountains, or even intentional. It happened while she was out walking Caddy’s favorite child (see last episode).

Caddy and Donna have been obsessed with Lee Roy Parnell for a long time. So much so that they used to try and get radio shows to book him for parties. That plan never came to fruition but Bill Gentry saved the day with a Lee Roy show in Gainesville.

On the next segment the show covers a few up and coming country projects. There is a lot of secrecy surrounding one of them but Caddy has a bit of insider information. On an “unrelated” note, the segment also covers a new tape from Keith Urban that is set for a September release.

Do your kids drive? If so, what are your car rules? Caddy and Donna give their answers and talk about the driving aspect of parenting.

Naturally that leads into a trip down Whips and Rides memory lane. Caddy used to have a sunroof and a CB whip antenna. Donna asks if his handle was “Crusty.” It’s a short segment.

Donna has found a cure for her plantar fasciitis. The solution can also help with sleep, anxiety and body aches. It’s a big part of the show and we’re excited to share. Caddy gets to end the segment by saying something he’s been waiting for years to say. “Drop in, drop my name and score a free edible.”

Donna and Caddy have been preparing for classes to start. Well, Donna has. Caddy actually finds out about school policies on the show today. Donna has a few ideas for how educators can help students grow in these new conditions.

We get an Appy this week! Donna’s segment helps families (especially kids) budget and learn financial responsibility.

In your life, you will be lucky to have three people that you can absolutely count on. For Donna and Caddy, one of those people has been Norm Schrutt, who passed away last week. The last segment today is a brief reflection of Norm and some of his impacts. Norm was President of ABC Radio and hired Caddy when he was 19. Then he gave Donna her big shot in Atlanta. Without a doubt, the Choates wouldn’t be where they are today without him.

“Donna, they’re rolling papers.” Aug 06, 2020

Welcome to Caddy Wagon with Ritch-oops, sorry! Wrong show. It’s another day in paradise with Cadillac Jack: My Second Act (a semi-music podcast).

1. School is out forever. 2. Kenny Chesney bailed. 3. The Atlanta Ballet Nutcracker is cancelled. Is nothing sacred? That’s what Donna want to know. After airing some grievances, she and Caddy spend a bit of time working through Atlanta’s event schedule and how some of the venues have shifted. Believe it or not there are a few silver linings.

Do you have Chris Stapleton fatigue? Are you or someone that you love experiencing heartache after listening to today’s country lyrics? Let us know. It happens to everyone and you may be entitled to a $0 settlement. It took Chris 13 years to write Traveller, so, it’s possible that even Chris Stapleton has Chris Stapleton fatigue.

Also on the grill today is Luke Combs. Incredible songwriter with a wicked sense of humor and a deceptively thick beard.

Plus a few different lingos covered on the show: stitch, skinned cats and high-backed Adirondacks.

Caddy can’t play Eric Church. Eric Church (maybe) can’t spell. Donna can’t sing like Aretha. It’s been a frustrating week for the Choates.

Caddy likes to be in control. More than once, that became an issue back in the morning show days. Caddy takes a deep dive into some of the practices of Radio and arguments that he would have about taping interviews. It all comes down to what Caddy calls “the Oprah effect.” At the end of the day the verdict comes in that radio is fun and entertaining, but it also has to play by a different set of rules. What flies for TV broadcasters and legacy news organizations doesn’t always get off the ground for radio.

On an unrelated note (promise) Caddy jumps in to the old days with Tug, George Straight and the great “Guess Your Wife’s Weight to Win” bit. Let’s just say that Darius Rucker did not participate.

The show caps with a dangerous question- do you have a child? Let’s rephrase. Which child is your favorite? Caddy and Donna skate on thin ice for the latest segment. Warning: Caddy’s answer will not surprise anyone.

Save a horse, text Caddy. 7704646024.

Cheat Day Aug 04, 2020

Jody Jackson has the intro today and there is no shortage of great JJ stories. He was a promotions director for Y106 and basically started March Across Georgia. Jody went to school with Donna (along with Julia Roberts) and now every time he calls, the Choates go crazy. He’s on another level of hard work. He lived on the road with T Graham Brown and helped Gov. Deal. Nowadays he’s running the John Jarrard Foundation with Bruce Birch, working with amazing songwriters and giving money to a lot of North Georgia charities. He’s so much fun, a very hard worker and we’re so glad to have his intro today!

Donna is not getting a Peloton. Instead, she is staring at trainers and buying (more) kitty litter.

Garth Brooks called a press conference this week with country (and general) media across the country. He has announced that he is stepping away from a few Country highlights. On an unrelated note, he’s also opening a new bar. The question is: will Caddy also be removing himself from the ballot for Country’s Entertainer of the Year? Donna talks about how the award is really for those who are pushing Country music forward. The real Country vanguard. So, the jury is still out for Caddy.

Donna has always wanted a water feature as part of the Choate household. Caddy has been making some calls and it looks like her wish is going to come true. Sorta. That conversation follows an update on the sprinkle debacle we heard about last show.

The show takes a serious note as Caddy and Donna continue their reflection on the passing of Rep. John Lewis. It is clear that those who have stories to tell about the social justice icon have only beautiful stories to tell.

The most lucrative deal in sports just came through. Let’s just say that Donna is about to be a Kansas City fan.

Caddy has never seen Donna hold a set of clubs. Donna tells Caddy she’s looking at the pro circuit. Where’s the disconnect here? Call the show and let us know.

Subscribe to the new shows Hustle and Caddy Wagon so you don’t miss a thing. When you’re done, text caddy about it. 7704646024.

Donna checked in today and Caddy lost a stitch Jul 30, 2020

Stacey has the intro. She has been a huge supporter since day one and, fun fact, her first concert (Hank, JR) came from tickets she won from Kicks at a Mrs. Winner’s Chicken & Biscuits. We are so grateful to have her support AND her intro.

Do you have trouble finding or taking pictures of the whole family? You’re not alone. To solve the problem, Donna has taken to timehopping.

Caddy drove to the studio in silence today. He also had to take a second shower. To say it’s been a stressful morning would be an understatement.

The run of show was 22 pages long today. Still, Donna thinks there is a lot missing. So the middle section of today’s show is a shotgun round of what’s been in the news for music this week.

If you’re listening on upload date, it has been 8 days since Caddy’s teeth came out. That means it is time for the Teeth Discussion. Caddy gives his perspective from the past couple days. Donna follows it up with a quick realty check of how things have REALLY been.

It would be hard for anyone to say that they’re not struggling right now. Remember to check in with those around you and offer some support when you can. Caddy and Donna touch on the subject, addressing some recent headlines that are a bit concerning. At the same time, now is a great chance to extend a hand and show compassion.

Caddy has been spending a lot of time with Officer Ritchie of the Alpharetta Police Department in preparation of their new show “Caddy Wagon.” While going on the ride-alongs, he has noticed a rising trend of certain emergency calls. The end of the show touches on this new trend and some of the implications.

Lastly, Caddy gets some sympathy texts. Send him one. 7704646024.

Business on top, party down below. Jul 28, 2020

Bill Gentry has the intro on today’s show. Caddy and Donna could have a whole month of episodes about Bill. He’s always been in music. He’s always been around. He has always had a certain air about him. He has always had a Wild history and we are thrilled to have him dial in today's Second Act.

“I’m Donna Choate and men are babies.” With that intro, the stage is set for today’s show. Caddy and Donna are a bit traumatized from the recent surgery but not in the ways you’d expect.

A lot of the early show is dedicated to Keith Urban and his new project. It’s coming out mid-September as a delayed release, just as so much music has been these past few months. Keith is framing it as a good thing; he’s been able to add a few new songs. Caddy and Donna are not so sure. Keith is one of those people who does not shy away from his challenges. Caddy and Donna have interacted with him a few different times over the years, noticing changes every time. The show covers some of the traits of addiction, meditation and openness. Caddy shares a couple stories with Keith, including one segment about Things You Don’t Know About Your Spouse.

Has a guidance counselor ever broken your trust? #FakeHomeSchoolFacts has been trending on Twitter and the show has some stories from it. Turns out scheduling is not the only worry coming from this year’s school year. Can you imagine the school supplies lists? How do you play a clarinet without reeds? (Actually, just ask Will about that one…)

How many attorneys appear unprofessionally on Zoom court appearances? According to one Florida circuit judge, that answer is “a lot.” We understand the “business on the top, party on the bottom” approach, but apparently some lawyers need to be reminded to wear a shirt at all. That example seems excessive, but Donna does thinks that there is just a general sloppiness and pegs the reason as everyone “living casually.” Everyone seems to be a fan, though, except the employers.

Caddy and Donna have some very exciting news. They intro them on today’s show but here's a hint: new shows.

Donna, follow the lead! Jul 23, 2020

Val and Garrett gave us today’s intro. They’re industry pros and go way back with Donna. They are incredibly kind and loyal friends, which as we know is critically important. We are so proud of them and appreciative of their support over the years.

Do you call Atlanta “Hotlanta?” Are you from Atlanta? That’s what we thought. Regardless of the nicknames that carpetbaggers use to describe the city, it really has been hot and humid. And because heat rises, there have been some A/C fights in the Choate house. What’s the policy when you’re a visitor in someone’s house? Open season or hands off?

How many adds were there in country radio last week? Which songs? Caddy and Donna discuss as they work through some of the recently reported charts. Eventually the conversation leads to the topic of love triangles within country music. And love triangles in life. Sorry, I mean “entanglements.”

You are quarantined with the first artist you saw in concert. Who is it? Caddy and Donna give their answers and cover what those situations would look like. It’s going to be a long quarantine for Caddy, based on his first artist. Donna is looking forward to hers. Time to get tantric.

Turns out courthouse hopping is not as fun when you’re on the docket. Caddy learned that when he had to show up in the Milton Municipal Courthouse. He also has another scheduled appearance down in Rabun County. Let’s just hope that none of the show listeners work for Rabun County. Or are solicitors for the City of Milton.

The verdict is in for Georgia’s High School sports. There are still a lot of questions about the situation, like if spectators will be allowed to attend or if there will be fight songs from the band. There are also a whole bunch of opinions that go with it.

“He yodels on this project.” Jul 21, 2020

Jodie Darden Hall intros the show today. She and Caddy went to high school together in Hickory, North Carolina. They got to reminisce about Hickory and Jodie gave Caddy an update- yes, Shells is still kicking and has a new diner. You may recognize it. Jodie has been a big supporter of Caddy’s career and we’re so thankful to have her kick off the show.

Donna starts off the show with a big announcement. Actually, one of a few big announcements headed Caddy’s way. Contrary to what she said last week, Donna has learned a few things over the course of her house arrest.

Speaking of learning, a big part of the show today focuses on local schools and the decisions surrounding Fall classes. From football players to band members to bus drivers to parents, everyone will be affected by those choices in the next few weeks. With some of the news this week it has felt like all of the air has been let out of the room. Donna and Caddy don’t know what the answers are. Still, it’s important to talk and acknowledge it. There are a lot of emotions roaming around and it’s important to address them.

Donna’s Appy this week is like Tik Tok in the sense that you can spend hours on it. Except this app could be used to find birthday presents and involves Carole Baskin, Ice Cube and Caitlyn Jenner. It leads Caddy and Donna into a conversation about paid appearances and their approaches on how to act at them. Some radio personalities will sit under their tent and wait for fans to approach. Others will call out on the show for listeners to “come and meet me at the Papa Johns in Marietta.” Caddy has a different style. Donna has all the answers. Whether it’s interacting with the clients or the talent, she gives Caddy a few tips from her prospective.

Donna thinks it’s funny to blow an air horn behind a heart attack survivor. Then she gives Caddy a quick beaver update. It’s not even in the top three for worst things done on today’s show.

“Ok, now back to the swinger story.” Jul 16, 2020

Jon Brasher has today’s intro. Brasher is Donna’s wusband and taught her the mastery of deflection. He is hilarious, lives in Johns Creek with his family and is up next to have his own podcast *wink wink*. Thanks Brasher!

If you’ve been listening since the beginning, you’ll know that Caddy has been having some problems with his mouth. It’s finally caught up to him.

The first segment of today’s show explains where Caddy is headed and why Roscoe was the first to know. The kicker, though, is how Donna wants to leverage it into her first TikTok milly and an energy drink sponsor.

Is it true that Gregg Alman broke into Capricorn studies to record a song? Donna says yes and that it’s her hype song today. Then Caddy uses his hype song to reflect on CMA Fest, Fan Fair and his birthday(s) in Nashville. Caddy and Donna break into what makes country music so special (spoiler: it’s the artists), using the example of when Garth Brooks came off of his world tour, showed up at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds (at 10am on a Tuesday) and signed autographs for 23 hours.

Did you know that Caddy once hosted a successful morning show on an Atlanta radio station? He shares some stories from his time on the air, including when K****** walked in (late) for a 30-artist show with one shoe on. As Donna says, “that’s how you know you had a good night.”

Caddy and Donna then move in to cover Jada Pinkett Smith’s “entanglement.” The discussion runs for a while before smoothly transitioning into why Donna can’t stand words like “entanglement.” Or “conscious uncoupling.” Who names their child Apple anyways?

“Out of an abundance of caution,” just tell Donna that Hamilton is cancelled.

Back when Caddy and Donna were printing money (literally, they had a money printer) they had a weekend at the Four Seasons. Things got a little hairy when they were invited up to “see another couple’s condo” and found themselves in a couple of robes. Caddy and Donna want to set the record straight: are they easy marks?

“This is going to be unsavory.” Jul 14, 2020

Keith Connors intros the show today and it is NOT one you’ll want to miss. Connors was also on in the morning and is “an absolute hustler.” At the end of the show Caddy and Donna (particularly Donna) share some truly great stories about him to boot.

It used to be that American tabloids were really aggressive but it seems like they’ve backed off. British tabs? Not so much. Johnny is not happy with the Sun and the royals. Caddy and Donna open the show by breaking down why that is.

On the other hand, Donna does love a good British-American group, which is why the second segment of the show is dedicated to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks.

We’re halfway through the year if you can believe it. Caddy and Donna mark the occasion by working through the top albums, songs and artists for the year. There is only one country artist on the top physical albums of the year. That’s “go to Walmart and buy a CD” physical albums. Any guesses?

You can not NOT tell Donna Choate the truth and have her not find out. Caddy knows that and still tried to pull a fast one. Before he could pull around to the back of the Arby’s, a white Audi came up behind him. One Q-Tip later and Caddy was on his way home.

Donna has been getting a lot of questions of what it was like for Caddy to get tested. Caddy talks through the process and describes his experience as a patient.

Donna thinks that we are all “coming out worse than went we went in.” She’s also upset that she hasn’t learned American Sign Language or how to make a soufflé.

Instead of doing a traditional yard sale, consider the Yard Sale 2.0. Caddy and Donna cover the best new way to get rid of unwanted household items.

As folks spend so much time at home they’re learning things about their spouses and family members. Caddy and Donna talk about all the ways they find that to be a silver lining. And “it’s not because we think Bernie Sanders is a cute little old man.”

Some assembly required Jul 09, 2020

Trudie Daniels has the intro today. Her job is to promote quite a roster of country artists and she works incredibly hard to accomplish it. There are so many things Caddy and Donna love about Trudie, but one of the major ones is how she handles herself in the industry. We’re so thankful to have her friendship and intro on today’s show.

Donna has been spending a lot of… time….on Amazon. As a result, Caddy has been spending a lot of time building and assembling. It’s possible that the trend will never end.

Charlie Daniels passed away this week. Caddy and Donna spend a lot of time on the show sharing their thoughts and stories about Mr. Daniels. All in all, we’re hoping that he and Kenny Rogers are putting together a great band up there right now.

Hamilton came out on Disney+. Does it hold up to the hype? Maybe.

After discussing the streaming version, Donna gives a peek behind the scenes of Atlanta performing arts and touring shows in general. Hopefully out of all of this will come some incredible show writing.

It seems like there were no July 4th celebrations. Anywhere. Caddy didn’t even hear a piccolo. Caddy and Donna were still able to enjoy some fireworks, just not the traditional kind.

It’s important for couples to learn how to be a couple. Hear about how to reinforce those lessons and what to do if (and when) you come across some cracks.

Universities around the country are deciding how they’re going to reopen. Caddy and Donna cover a great way to fill those apartments and dorms without breaking the bank.

This week’s Appy segment finishes out the show, with Donna sharing her toolkit for starting the day. When you first use this week’s Appy, it’s going to feel weird and frustrating. Like anything, the app takes time. If you stick with it, you’ll be glad you did.

"Want to come over and listen to Lenny Kravitz?" Jul 07, 2020

Charlotte Choate intro’d the show today. “Baby Char-Char” has the absolute biggest heart for everyone (and all the animals). And push-pops.

It’s a quick post-fourth show today. Have you ever been to Southern Star Amphitheatre? What about the nearby Ramada nearby? Caddy and Donna have been to (and seen shows at) both. They cover what those venues looked like back then and the changes they’ve seen since.

What were the “rich kid” identifiers during your childhood? For Caddy and Donna it was having a pool, microwave or shag carpets. Today it could be Lunchables. Just be careful of the radiation.

During the pandemic, is it realistically possible to have a job and a child? Donna (and a lot of other people) feel like the answer has been a firm “no.” Navigating the workload of both seems impossible. At the very least, it’s a lot to handle right now and there isn’t a great answer to the problem.

Walmart has decided they’re getting into the Drive-In business with Robert De Niro. Expect a three month run of open parking lots with snacks, attendants and car-delivered food. Caddy and Donna discuss the recurring theme of the

Concerts may never be the same. Namely, it’s possible that they won’t have General Admission pits anymore. Caddy and Donna discuss possible changes and what it would mean for the music industry.

There were some special pod peeps this week. Life is not perfect for anyone, including Caddy and Donna, and community is just so important right now. Call or text the show at 770-464-6024. Can't wait to hear from you.

Dockers, rifles, pistols and khaki Jul 02, 2020

Robyn and Brian have the intro today. They’ve been Caddy and Donna’s next door neighborhoods for 15+ years. Their families have grown up together and the Henrys have always been so supportive.

Caddy and Donna almost went away this weekend. The reason they didn’t was NOT because Dolly isn’t clean.

It’s a lot harder to get tested than you’d think. Caddy had to drive 45 minutes and then watch Gone With The Wind 3 times. Donna’s recommendation for how to navigate medical offices is a bit surprising.

Adele lost a husband and then lost weight. Caddy and Donna discuss her transformation, upcoming music and misplaced jealousy.

Serious question: have you ever heard of Stroker Ace? It was filmed in ’83 and is significantly cleaner than it sounds.

Luke Bryan is about to go to the top of the charts with One Margarita. Caddy and Donna work through the rest of this week’s top-selling songs, which include Savage and Black Parade.

On the other end of the charts, Karen and Ken take up a lot of today’s show. You’ve seen them on social media and McMansions all over America this week. Caddy and Donna cover their actions, characterizing one scene as “Ozark meets Saturday Night Live.”

Dale and Patricia are guest hosts on today’s show. They stopped into the studio on their way to grab some pecans and couldn’t resist saying hello. Tune in as they cover Chase Rice, Instacart and Beauregard Lee.

Don’t forget! There will be a Starbucks code on The Letter this week. Text LEFTONRED to 22828 and grab a coffee on the show.

“I’m getting me a pair of orthotics.” Jun 30, 2020

Huge thank you to Melanie for having the show’s intro. Melanie was one of Caddy’s first listeners back in ’94. She has become such a great friend of the family and has been a supporter since the beginning. Including at Caddy’s first wedding (where she helped limit the family fireworks).

Donna and Caddy are falling apart. Physically. As a result orthopedic shoes and gum desensitizers are a-plenty. Don’t worry- all the athletes use them.

The music world has seen a few shifts back towards normalcy. Luke Bryan has begun rescheduling concert dates, Eric Church is no longer scared of life and Country Radio has been playing Scotty on repeat. Plus, Caddy still finds corn, whiskey and tractors to be “pedestrian.”

Caddy and Donna were able to go see Nana and Mr. Al. Their perspective is always a breath of fresh air. The conversations had a wide variety of topics, though it seems like recovery from this situation may not be as quick as expected. Nana and Mr. Al are excited that the Braves are back, though, so some things never change. As Mr. Al says, “the cream always rises to the top.”

Caddy and Donna have a butterfly bush at the bottom of their driveway, right next to the egg frying station. Wait, what?

Donna thinks Caddy should be TieDying more. Caddy thinks Donna needs to make the turn. They both agree that it’s a direct shot from other parents if your child comes home with Moon Sand.

Call 7704646024. Can’t wait to hear from you.

What do you do when you have seven kids? Jun 25, 2020

Kaitlyn Henderson intro’d the show today. Kaitlyn was an intern on the morning show back in the days with Dallas and Tug. Then she went higher and higher on the ladder and was so good at her job that Kaitlyn eventually was “poached.” Nowadays she is with 680 The Fan, about to get married and remains one of the kindest people Caddy and Donna know.

Chickfila is rolling out some changes. For Donna? Travesty. Caddy? Sweet relief.

There’s a busy period in the Choate household. And that time is June. In order to handle it, sometimes you have to take an assembly line approach to parenting. Other times you have to do the best you can and then get out of the way.

Caddy and Donna take a deep dive into parenting and step-parenting. They cover where they went wrong and talk about all the things they did right. There really is no instruction manuel for “How to Raise Kids.”

Then big news from LiveNation: (drive-in) concerts are here. You can even get out of your car.

All that and a lot more on today’s show.

"Someone remind me to button my jeans." Jun 23, 2020

Melissa Gibson intro'd this episode of the podcast. She and her (high school sweetheart) husband live in Milton. They ALSO ran over THEIR dog in the driveway.

Melissa took pictures of families on their front steps during the COVID-19 shutdown as a way to support Meals By Grace. $9,000 in ten days. She has had an amazing Second Act and we're so glad to have her intro Caddy and Donna's.

Donna had a suspicious night out and ended up stroking a beaver with a stick. You read that right.

On this True Crime episode of My Second Act, there’s a break in the case of Missing Uncle Poppy.

Donna’s “Let get Appy” segment leads to a long discussion about tools and tricks of the tracking trade.

Caddy talks about the summer when his house was the set of Beach House. One Saturday night word got out. Cars in the backyard, 15 year olds jumping out the bathroom window (they came back the next day to fix the toilet seat). What happened when Mom showed up?

Donna and Caddy talk about wake times, “sleep divorce” and what early hours look like for a morning show host.

Then... Caddy's shirt gets too tight.

Customer Service And How Much It Sucks Jun 18, 2020

Thank you Chief Robison for giving us today’s intro. Chief is over the entire police, fire and emergency services for the City of Alpharetta. He has always been so accessible to the community and on behalf of the entire city we want to thank him for all he is doing right now.

Roscoe is back and he brought some friends. Well, one friend. One that has been missing for about a year.

What do you NOT have to worry about at Kenny Chesney concert? A lot of things, actually. We’re talking Hoity-Toity Wedding-type amenities.

Caddy and Donna give a quick update to the Garth Brooks drive-in tour. Let’s just say that it won’t be the first time Tiger, Georgia is put on the map.

The next segment covers the prediction that the pandemic will be good for songwriters across America.

Caddy scrolled through Taylor Swift’s twitter feed for an hour to cover his bases. Is she really “woke?”

We get an update on the Lady A(ntebellum) name change. Turns out Scooter may have forgotten to do a quick search on Spotify.

Caddy is obsessed with Salt and Pepper. He has some great news- they’re back. But all in all, is it possible that COVID-19 is causing a widespread illness of bad customer service? The verdict is in. Hear about why, and how it has led Caddy to walk around with constant sense of anxiety.

Two drive-ins and a funeral Jun 16, 2020

Matt Hoffberg has the intro on today’s show. He started out as an intern years ago until Caddy had him hired. Mattie ended up running the morning show as Executive Producer. Now he’s about to be EP of a new show- his marriage. Thanks Matt- we are so proud of you! Sorry about the Brantley Gilbert thing.

Donna starts us off with a status check of her Balloon Balls. Then she goes right into the time she almost started a riot at an Ariana Grande concert.

There is always a reason why certain artists are touring or performing together. It’s never a coincidence. Caddy and Donna talk about some things that can land two people together… or keep them apart.

Lady Antebellum is no longer Lady Antebellum because “they’ve had their eyes opened.” What do we think? Cadillac goes through some of the responses he was sent.

Garth Brooks wants to drive into your backyard. No, really. Caddy and Donna give the rundown on his new “show” and then talk about when Garth Beat Caddy. It explains why Garth is the “Modern Day P.T. Barnum.”

Donna doesn’t have the best luck and talks about a few times that has been a problem. Two of them were at funerals. Caddy gives his own funeral story except it doesn’t involve a funeral at all.

Huge award to Tracy and the whole team. She’s now officially Top Producer (though we already knew that).

Rounding us out is the best part of the week- time to Get Appy! Donna brings her pick to the table and Rounds Up.

Don’t forget- Text us your Cabbage Patch dolls. 7704646024.

Are we out of the woods yet? Jun 11, 2020

Allison kicks off today’s show but luckily doesn’t mention the infamous 96-Rock halter top.. Allison is Donna’s oldest friend and “the kindest, most honest, loving person” she knows. We are so thankful for her intro and support.

Caddy starts by explaining why (and how) he threw Taylor Swift her own prom. A year later the Prom Queen sash was still on her tour bus (this was back when Taylor Swift rode busses).

Donna shares why she gets creeped out by Cabbage Patch dolls. Here’s a hint: how old is too old? Where do their names come from? What about the privates? Questions that lead to Caddy confessing some questionable details about his own childhood toys…

The show turns with a story about some bad apples at Piedmont Junior High School, leading to the comment that “unfortunately there is nothing new about what’s going on.”

Attractions are starting to reopen (like Six Flags) with certain conditions (like temperature scanners). Donna and Caddy cover the differences as the world starts returning to normal.

Plus- May’s ratings are in for Atlanta radio. Can they be framed to compliment any station? How do shows really rank their listeners?

Tune in and then text us your Cabbage Patch dolls. 7704646024.

You can rent MARTA buses? For pub crawls? Jun 09, 2020

Thank you to Matt Holmes for introducing today’s episode! Matt was one of the first people Caddy met when he moved to Atlanta. He was the DJ at The Buckboard and they were roommates for a while. They’ve got some crazy stories they could share…love you brother.

It has been a big week for the Choate boys. Caddy and his son Wil share a birthday and Wil turned the big 2-1. Caddy and Donna talk about where they went to celebrate, and where each of them were for their own 21st birthdays. Caddy’s happened a little after Donna’s.

Where has the coronavirus gone? Where is Dr. Fauci? For months we were locked in our homes, massive unemployment and thousands of deaths…and then it just seems to have disappeared. Caddy and Donna talk about how were going to be talking it, and about what happened in the first half of 2020, for years to come. They’ll teach classes on it.

The Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, GA – you may have been there yourself – Caddy and Donna reminisce about taking the kids a few times. It’s hot, not very clean and the animals are…interesting. Hear about their adventures and make sure to subscribe to The Letter (Caddy’s weekend e-newsletter) for great pics from their trips!

“I would not take a knee.” Jun 04, 2020

Thank you to our dear friend Bill Rawlings for introducing today’s episode! He is the MOST fun, a great friend and always looking out for other people. Thanks for everything you do and your friendship over the years. Roll Tide!

Caddy and Donna get into the latest on the George Floyd protests, the President’s reaction, and where we go from here. Caddy and Donna have some very different takes – and that’s OK! Listen to them talk through it together as podcast co-hosts, man and wife, mom and dad, and friends to all of you listening. We’ve always promised you that no matter what we’ll be real with you no matter what comes our way.

How cool was the SpaceX launch Saturday?! With all the negative news we’ve been going through these last few months it was so much fun to sit down and watch the successful launch of a manned US ship into space. We all needed this. Donna and Caddy talk about watching it and how it made them feel to be a part of a fun, uplifting piece of news.

Caddy talks about radio and why people listen. Over the years Caddy has don’t a lot of contests on air, but believe it or not, calling in for contests is not very high on the list of why people listen. Find out what is number 1!

Our take on the George Floyd protests. Jun 02, 2020

Thank you to Shelby Brehm for introducing today's episode AND picking Caddy's Hype Song! Shelby has been a longtime fan (back to 2009) and loyal supporter. We appreciate all the love over the years!

There is a lot going on in the world right now. We're just now seeing light at the end of the coronavirus pandemic, as we've talked about before on the show, and now we are witnessing turmoil again. Another unarmed black man was killed by police while in their custody, in Minneapolis. We've all been watching the national protests on the news, and Caddy and Donna share some of their perspective.

On a different note, Caddy talks about ESPN's new documentary about Lance Armstrong, after the Michael Jordan documentary was such a big success. We're finding out some thing now, like how much input Jordan had on the creative control, and wonder now how much Armstrong will be given the same. Also, Caddy and Donna talk about how these documentaries, including Kevin Hart's recent one on Netflix, have been a very raw peak into these celebrities lives.

BONUS: Resuming time sensitive essential surgeries with Wellstar’s Dr. Bill Mayfield May 30, 2020

On the show today Donna and Caddy have a conversation with Dr. Bill Mayfield, a thoracic surgeon with Wellstar Health System to discuss the status of surgeries and procedures, that for a few months, were effectively put on hold because of COVID-19.

Now, they are encouraging people not to have any hesitations about getting those back on their schedules. Hospitals are cleaner and safer than ever, and in many cases, doctors are able to treat patients out outpatient centers and do follow ups over tele-medicine channels.

Wellstar continues to prioritize safety for its patients and staff, and everyone who comes in for a procedure will follow strict guidelines to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Find out about all that and more on today’s BONUS episode.

“Zoom in on the wooly booger.” May 28, 2020

You’ve heard Caddy and Donna talk about him before on the show and now he’s here to do the intro for today’s episode! William Choate III (aka Wil, Caddy’s son) makes Donna and Caddy proud as he is working hard, mastering his craft, and is just a great son. They are so proud of the path he is walking. XO

Caddy talks about the time he pissed off Kix Brooks so much that he actually called in to the radio hot line and to give Caddy a piece of his mind. Now? Caddy he has his cell phone number. Hear how it happened.

Caddy has been spending a lot of time with his dad and talking to him on the phone. He recounts a story about a time when he was a kid and got to go with his dad on a full day of sales calls across North Carolina. His dad was a traveling electronics salesman and there was a very funny incident involving a sales pitch and a camcorder. Apparently, the owner of the store who was trying to sell the camcorder had already put it to good use…

Apparently, there is a girl who found out that her cell phone number used to belong to Elon Musk. She (he) gets some crazy text messages sometimes from people clearly trying to get in touch with Elon. Former Walt Disney executives and leaders at the CDC! Crazy. Caddy and Donna discuss, and Caddy explains how are some people out there that may have some of his old numbers, too.

Joe Rogan just sold his podcast for $100 million. That is not a typo. Media is changing and we think it’s pretty cool stuff. Spotify if you’re listening, call us.

There is one thing about the coronavirus that parents are about to hate: summer camps are mostly canceled. Caddy and Donna talk about how much they loved summer camps for their kids and the freedom(!) it meant for them.

Live sports are BACK! Well, sort of. NASCAR just had a race with no fans and Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady just did a golf match to raise money for Covid-19 relief. Donna talks about how much she has just missed watching any sports live, and how good it feels to finally something back.

Interstate 285 Roulette & Listener Mail! May 21, 2020

Thank you to Laura Jesseph for introducing today’s show! She has got to be one of our favorites so far because she met us in the parking lot before we recorded to bring us home baked treats. Donna met Laura at Atlanta Magazine and the two worked together on some projects and have been friends ever since.

We kick off the show with some behind the scenes stories about radio promotions. Ever hear a radio station say they want to pay your bills for a month? Find out how those promotions come to be. On top of that, promotions on the radio today are not what they used to be. Caddy and Donna recap some of the wildest promotions that the two of them were involved in when they were working in radio.

Donna's gambling problem. May 19, 2020

Thank you to Bo Jackson for introducing today’s episode! Bo used to tutor Caddy and Donna’s son Wil and is just a great person, teacher, dad and person. Thank you for all you’ve done for the kids and our family, your friendship and support!

Last week Caddy had a confession to make on the show. He shared with Donna for the first time the news about his 2nd speeding ticket in the last couple weeks. Today we come full circle and Donna has a confession of her own.

Caddy and Donna reminisce about the 2005 CMA awards which were held in New York City instead of their traditional spot in Nashville. Everyone flew in for the show and the parties. Garth Brooks sold out Central Park. Keith Urban was crowned ‘Entertainer of the Year’. It was a strange experience, and a big deal, because at least at the time country music radio did not have a presence in the city.

We’re getting a little casual with our attire during all this coronavirus time. Maybe too casual? We’re also forgetting what day it is – a lot. Caddy wore sleep pants out to eat the other day. Hear about some crazy new trends happening around the country.

“You can’t yell at me because we’re on the podcast.” May 14, 2020

Thank you to Sara Hogan for introducing today’s show! Sara is one of Donna’s best friends. They met at Kicks and have been friends ever since. She taught Donna a lot about being a stepmom, coparenting and so much more. Thank you so much for your friendship over the years!

Caddy has something to tell Donna. Something to…admit to. But he has waited until now, while they are recording this episode in studio to give her the news. Let’s just say she was not happy. Find out what happened and how it all played out.

Get Appy! Everyone’s favorite segment is back with a new app recommended by Donna called x2VOL. It is a useful if you have kids who need help tracking volunteer hours. This helps them for stay organized so that they can report those hours to their high schools or when applying to colleges. Avoid the last-minute panic of trying to remember where and when they volunteered!

Everyone remembers and misses the hit television show The Office. One of its more famous episodes and scenes is the wedding dance from the episode when Jim and Pam got married. They did a reunion Zoom call recently, and it helped inspire a couple in Maryland to reenact the scene when Jim proposes to Pam. The couple sends John Kransinski the video and what happens next is awesome.

Hear the latest on the Kenny Chesney vs. Drake for the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 album charts.

“The first time I ever saw boobies.” May 12, 2020

Thank you to Mike “Strawberry” Rogers for introducing today’s episode. Strawberry is a huge Eric Church fan, just like Caddy. He was a very dedicated listener when Caddy was at Kicks and they would often see each other at concerts. Appreciate your support and friendship over the years!

TikTok has a huge influence on music downloads and the Top 100 charts. So, Drake reached out to a guy named Tootsie (a TikTok influencer) to help pump his new album up, which dropped a couple weeks ago. Well, it worked. Hear Caddy walk you through the timeline and how its going to work going forward.

Donna and Caddy have a drive-by birthday party story to share. This one was over in Donna’s old stomping grounds and the memories came flooding back. Believe it or not, sounds like Caddy had a good time, and has a story of his own to tell, too.

Governor Kemp has been doing his COVID19 press conferences. Caddy and Donna were listening to one last week and the very first question went to a guy named Tyreke from Tyreke on the Run. Caddy was a little thrown off. Who the heck is this guy?! Find out.

Thank you to U.S. Navy Lt. Kellen Johnson for introducing today’s podcast by giving a Mother’s Day shoutout to your mom from Camp Lemmonier, Djibouti in the Horn of Africa. Her mom, Karen Newberger, lives in Alpharetta. Happy Mother’s Day, and thank you for your service!

Caddy will no longer be justifying his whereabouts and daily activities by explaining that he is social distancing and doing all the right things. He thinks its about time that we all just go about assuming that we’re all going to be going about our days as safely as possible. He gives some examples and explains why he is over it.

Speaking of the coronavirus – cruises are back! Well, soon they will be. Everyone remembers the now infamous episode of the pod, “Death starts at $269”. Caddy and Donna revisit the episode because of new some new Carnival Cruise Lines commercials pushing some fun starting August 1st. You in?

This episode is jam packed with some funny bits about what we’ve all been consuming during quarantine, the state of the television industry, Harry Styles’ no-no square and much much more!

“If you dug around in his beard you’d find rolling papers.” May 05, 2020

Thank you to Wendy and Marty Ellin for introducing today’s show. They are great friends and Donna and Wendy in particular go back to days together at Kicks. Nowadays Wendy is a productivity consultant – helping people get organized in their personal and professional lives – something we all need right now! Marty is the Executive Director of the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Association, offering pro bono legal representation to those who really need it. We love these guys!

It is Giving Tuesday. If you have a non-profit you’d like to help make a difference with…today’s the day. In particular, Caddy wants to give a shoutout to the Wellstar Health System, who as we’ve talked about on the show helped save his life. Help them save even more lives during this pandemic by making a donation and sharing your support for Wellstar on social media by including the hasktag #GivingTuesdayNow. Spread the word!

Spotify just topped 130 million paid subscribers. Caddy and Donna talk about the music platform and what artists have taken advantage of the increased exposure to fans who may be tuning in more now during the pandemic. There is one artist in particular who has 4 of the top 20 Spotify songs of all time. Find out who.

There is a scandal going on at Georgia Tech right now, and Caddy thinks were just seeing the tip of the iceberg. There is a website, Chegg, which is designed to help students connect with online tutors. They provide answers to questions and by design help kids learn. BUT, some students at Tech were exposed to have cheated on their final exams by sending questions to the online platform. Caddy isn’t so sure 100% of the blame lies with students. Find out why.

“Choates don’t quit…unless we’re under quarantine.” Apr 30, 2020

Thank you to Hans Appen, our show producer, for introducing today’s episode! Man, what a guy. He has got to be one of the sharpest, most handsome guys in the podcast industry. We just don’t know what we would do without him! And he in now way has anything to do with writing the episode descriptions for the show…

Donna is following the Jay Cutler/Kristin Cavallari divorce drama closely and there is some fishy stuff going on with their social media and divorce filings. What she saw led her to google “Jay Cutler cheating”. She has got some theories about what’s REALLY going on.

Get Appy! Everyone’s favorite segment of the pod has a new feature to it. Due to the segment’s popularity we’ve decided it needs its own intro music. Thank you Rob Jenners! Check out this episode’s featured app, Fetch.

Caddy is quitting quarantine. He’s done. With it all. He’s been going stir crazy in the house, like a lot of people, but he’s had to just take some breaks and drive the back roads of North Fulton/Cherokee counties. For Caddy, a lot of it is about feeling like he’s not in control – of a lot of things. He and Donna talk about how else they’ve been handling and where they think we go from here.

Caddy has got a court date. Not by choice. Apr 28, 2020

Thank you to Evelyn Kay Soto for doing the introduction to today’s show! Caddy met Evelyn back in the Kicks days when she got a job reporting traffic on the radio. Now she is an Atlanta based voice artist doing great things for radio and television. Thanks for all of your support and your friendship!

On the way in to record today’s episode Caddy got pulled over. He gunned it out of his neighborhood, and well, never slowed down. Hear about the ordeal and his upcoming court date to appear. We still love all our men and women in blue though – they are doing incredible work protecting us during this trying time.

On the show Caddy and Donna talk about the state of local journalism and how its more important now than ever for community news about what is happening in your backyard. The journalism industry has been hit just as hard as other businesses in this crisis and it needs all our support!

Haircuts and margaritas. Apr 23, 2020

Thank you to Rob Jenners for introducing today’s how! Rob is the Production Director at 680 The Fan and the Producer and Co-Host of The Big Podcast With Shaq. He has been an awesome friend as Caddy has made the transition from radio to the podcast world and long before that!

Many businesses in Georgia are allowed to open tomorrow as Governor Kemp has lifted some restrictions on which businesses must stay closed. Caddy and Donna have a bit of a different reaction to the news. Teaser: if you are looking for Caddy tomorrow, he’ll be getting a haircut and sipping margaritas at La Parilla in Alpharetta.

Donna and Olivia went on a hike. But first, Donna had to con her way into a state park. It was a great mother daughter trip and a nice reprieve from self-quarantining. Caddy’s femur was hurting, so he didn’t go. But hear all about the trip. Get outside (but social distance)!

“One year ago this week, I ran over Roscoe.” Apr 21, 2020

Thank you to Christy Darby for introducing today’s show! Caddy got to know her through interaction on social media from back in the Kicks days and she’s followed him over to the podcast. Thanks for all your support!

There was a little drama in the Choate house surrounding game night. Donna got a little impatient playing ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ and she may or may not have ruined the came for Caddy. He’s a little bitter. Find out more.

Luke Combs just released what Caddy thinks is going to be the anthem for this crazy time, much like Alan Jackson’s Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) after 9/11. It is called Six Feet Apart and Caddy thinks it will be the CMA Song of the Year. Donna and Caddy discuss.

Has self-quarantining got you thinking about an old friend? Or even an ex-significant other? Everything is changing and current circumstances can leave you thinking about the past and what could have been. Donna and Caddy talk about how we mourn, celebrate and how to cope with some of the loneliness you might be feeling.

A year ago, Caddy ran over Roscoe, one of the family’s beloved coon hounds. It was a traumatic event for the whole family and we’ve all heard tid bits about the story, but on this anniversary Donna and Caddy recount the whole ordeal. He’s doing great now! Thanks everyone for checking on him and sending your love his way.

Thank you to Scott Hayes for introducing today’s podcast! Scott works at the new Magic 105.9 in Brunswick, GA. A long time lister of Caddy’s on Kicks, they got to know each other over the years and we are proud of all your work supporting the special needs community. Thank you!

Learning anything new about your spouse while quarantined during the coronavirus outbreak? Caddy and Donna have. You have GOT to hear what each has to say about the other.

Martha Stewart is a new woman. And not in all the most appropriate ways for social media. It can be pretty funny though. Donna is here to tell us all about it.

Another NASCAR driver is at it again. We talked on a recent episode about Bubba Wallace getting in trouble and losing a sponsor for just quitting a simulated race. But Carl Larson…man he screwed up. With one slip of a tongue he has now been suspended and lost sponsorships as well.

Thank you to Betsie Richards for introducing today’s show! Betsie is a long-time friend and Caddy talks about some of the fun times they have had together over the years. Truly an amazing person.

Virtual doctors. This is a new phenomenon for a lot of us. Donna talks about a friend who experienced this for the first time, and…oopsies! Hear about what NOT to do when the doctor joins the Zoom call, and plenty of strange new coronavirus stories to share.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen went through a few rough spots a couple years ago. Tom actually went on The Howard Stern Show recently and talked a little bit about it. Caddy and Donna talk about what it means that even “the perfect couple” can have marriage trouble and how we can all learn from that.

Caddy explains what he didn’t understand about the game Uno, Brittany Aldean social media post gets some blowback, and Roscoe is digging some awfully big holes in the back yard. All that and more on today’s episode!

“I thought it was a chainless bike.” Apr 09, 2020

Thank you to Cal Cross for introducing today’s show. Cal and Caddy go way back in the radio industry. He worked at Y106 until 1997 and he’s now back on the airwaves with 92.5 The Bear.

Some kids are struggling to stay occupied while quarantining at home. They are rearranging their rooms, doing google hangouts with friends, and who knows what else. On a previous show Donna talked about how she and the girls have been going on bike rides. She made a couple new purchases to that end, but you’ll never guess what she forgot.

Donna continues to sort and organize family photos (make sure to subscribe to The Letter e-newsletter to see a few). She and Caddy talk about a few she rediscovered and the stories behind them. They also talk about Caddy’s mother, and her refusal to let young Caddy hang posters as a child. And as an adult.

Happy birthday to our friend and OG sponsor of the show Tracy Cousineau! She is donating a % of all closings to Atlanta Food Banks during this crisis. Support her and this cause by giving her a call!

Caddy talks about the Academy of Country Music's CBS special "Our Country" and specifically Eric Church’s new song, "Never Break Heart”. Hear his take.

Thank you to Paula Hollar Baker for introducing today’s pod! Paula and Caddy go way back to middle and high school and Donna has gotten to know her well over the years, too. Our biggest fan from North Carolina!

Caddy is getting a little stir crazy and needs a haircut. It’s getting rough. So rough in fact that Donna giving it a go is actually on the table. If you are going a little stir crazy too, Caddy and Donna have two social media accounts they want you to check out. On Instagram check out @thelesliejordan. He is an actor that you may recognize but his posts are HILARIOUS. Listen to the show to hear Donna’s recommendation for

On a serious note: Caddy and Donna talk about hard a time this is for people struggling with addiction or anxiety, and we all need to be looking out for each other. They touch on a recent story in the news where a hacker broke into a Zoom meeting (online video conferencing) for an Alcoholics Anonymous group. People are struggling out there and we can all be kind to each other or make a call to someone who might need it. Do it.

Need some help getting a power bill paid during this crazy time? Tag Gallery Furniture in Gainesville on the Cadillac Jack Page on Facebook and they will be working with us to get some of those paid. What an amazing idea from our pod partners over at Gallery Furniture.

Thank you to Jason Durden for introducing today’s episode! He worked in Atlanta TV and radio for 33 years. Now Jason is working on his second act just like Caddy and we wish him the absolute best of luck.

Lots of good music updates today. Caddy and Donna talked about the release of Kelsea Ballerini’s third album release, Kenny Rogers catalog hitting number one on the country music charts since 1986, and The Weeknd raking in the dough right now. Georgia boy Thomas Rhett turns 30 and releases a song that we all need right now. Find out more about it.

Caddy and Donna’s friend Wendy posted to social media a message from a school administrator in Atlanta about our role as parents in this new virtual learning world. It’s hard! Especially for parents who are also juggling working from home themselves. It’s an important message and you’ll want to hear it.

Thank you to Tracy and Melissa Hunt for doing the introduction to today’s show! Long time friends and big supporters. We appreciate your friendship.

On today’s episode of the show Donna kicks us off by talking about a lice memo she got from school. Just the word “lice” makes a lot of our skins’ crawl. It’s the worst.

Apparently there is going to be some sort of The Bachelor show for the 65+ crowd. Would you watch? Who would host? Caddy and Donna discuss. Based off some stories they have been told about what goes on in nursing homes, it should be a big hit!

Caddy has a very…unique way of filling his time when he gets bored. So unique, you have to listen to the episode to hear what it is. It is pretty wild.
