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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
