Building hills with John Rich Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

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?

Beeb beep in your Jeep Jeep Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

By the way, if anyone is wondering- the pot roast turned out great.

Too much vetivert Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

It's not sponsored by Robinhood but gives a new meaning to Smothered and Covered. Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

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.
