Show notes

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!

Cadillac Jack. New show, same ride. Enjoy!

"If you dug around in his beard you'd find rolling papers." May 05, 2020

Show notes

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.

All that and more on today's episode!

"Choates don't quit…unless we're under quarantine." Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

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

Show notes

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!

We also get a chance to empty the mailbag and respond to listener mail and questions. Please send us your thoughts on the show or questions on something you want to know more about! We try to answer as many as we can.

Haircuts and margaritas. Apr 23, 2020

Show notes

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)!

All that and more on today's episode!

"One year ago this week, I ran over Roscoe." Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

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.

"I think she changed after she went to prison." Apr 16, 2020

Show notes

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.

All that and more on today's episode!

"We're all going days without showering." Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

All that and more on today's episode!
