I don't need four peanuts Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
