Cadillac Jack - My Second Act

Sounds filthy. Go on. Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

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.

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.

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!

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.

Three tickets to paradise Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
