Sooner we start the sooner we finish

Can you hear me? We're on the run here today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. To kick off our new tradition, Donna starts by pointing out the irony in Caddy's life. Then she 'pivots' to an article about Atlanta magazine that has been blowing up in the media world. It's a good conversation about different types of journalism and what it means if people are recording your conversations. Sort of. Seriously though, it's an interesting conversation.   Then it's game time in the...

You can kiss your beaver

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast! On the show today, Donna finally reveals what happened to her red slider turtles. Keep your red slider turtles out of your kitchens, folks! The CDC put out a warning about a possible salmonella outbreak and warned that kissing certain animals…on the mouth…is probably a bad idea. Granted, you shouldn’t need a CDC warning to know that, but we digress. Sad news over the weekend as legendary TV gameshow host Bob Barker passed away at 99. ...

Doing my time in Alabama

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Caddy and Donna talk about their increasingly empty house and dealing with the (nearly) empty nest blues. If you have ever had a kid go off to college you know the hole they leave in your house and the quiet that follows it. You’re half expecting them to walk through the front door after school…but they don’t. Donna and Caddy talk about dealing with that feeling and what they are doing about it with 2 of 3 out the door and the last one ...

Whose bedrails are in your mouth?!

Welcome back to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! It’s time for Donna to fess up about her addiction to PB&J Snack Duos. So, Donna has had a mild obsession with these tasty morsels from Trader Joe’s called PB&J Snack Duos. She thought she may have put them in her past, but she was wrong. Her birthday was last week and someone dropped off an entire crate of them for her. The struggle is real. Donna also has some thoughts on college rush these days. In short: it’s out of control. ...

Hairless Morgan Wallen

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Sorry we’re late, but when Queen Bee is in town…you pay your respects. Donna’s air conditioning is out. Again. This time, she has found a culprit, but it has been a long, hot summer and it makes Donna a little bit grouchy. School is back and session and the Jacks are down to one child in the house. It’s been emotional. Caddy and Donna talk about that slow, inevitable transition and how kids handle the transition differently. Lastly,...

Sand in my boots

Great day to be alive here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We are back and better than ever after a tumultuous week of shows. To celebrate, Cadillac and Donna Jack are preparing for three nonstop days of Beyonce in Atlanta. Donna may even get a ticket on the way there. Who knows. We cover thee best Baes and prep for the show. After that the Jacks talk about living life and how that changes as time goes on. Donna says the most important part is the last 10% of what you do, of e...

Sticky content

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Garth Brooks finally weighs in on the Jason Aldean controversy and Taylor Swift makes dreams come true. But first, Donna point out that she and Caddy have now been doing the podcast together for almost 4 years (!) and are working together on radio now. She asks Caddy what he has learned about her in this very professional environment. Careful Caddy. Tread very carefully. Caddy gets into the Jason Aldean controversy and let’s just say ...

Who threw a bat at Cadillac Jack?

Dog Days of Summer here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.   Can you feel the love in the studio today? You should, because Cadillac and donna Jack are finally back together. The show kicks off with the reason for reunification.   From there we fulfill our obligation as a semi music podcast with some viral news about Cardi B. We talk about what she and Cody Johnson (?) have in common.   Then we touch on some Republican pancakes and a bit of honky tonk headlines t...

I can juggle some balls

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Cady and Donna are in studio together, so you know it’s going to be a good show. There have been a lot of bad storms in the area and there is a tree down at the Caddy household creating some…technical issues. Primarily Donna cannot use the Amazon machine, but that’s just fine with Caddy. Did you all see the news about Cardi B? She was performing recently when a disgruntled fan threw a drink at her. Well, Cardi was having none of that ...

Not dead yet

We're still alive here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Alive and flush with cash for online shopping. Caddy just needs to make sure they get thee address right. In the interest of getting moved in, Donna Jack has some advice for Caddy and the cats. Just try and catch them mid stream. We also make a quick turn to that time we all had to go do child play therapy in North Druid Hills, which is interestingly where one of our EPs now lives. What do you make of that? In all seriou...

I’m Donna and I can do it

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act Podcast! On today’s show, Donna is going mountain climbing, and Caddy is…not. So, Donna opens the show talking about her new goal of climbing mountains. Literally. She is going to find a nice comfortable pair of hiking boots, hit a rave, and then climb the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest. Caddy wishes her the best of luck. Donna went and saw the new Barbie movie with some girlfriends, pink cowboy hat and all. The movie is breaking al...

Keyboard Cowboys

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. On today’s episode, Caddy lists the things he would rather have done than be on a particular flight full of Swifties. But first, Donna went to see her dad Charlie’s final resting place on Fripp Island. It was something she was glad to do with daughter Charlotte, but the real story here is what she did on the way back. She went by the Murdoch estate. You know, just for giggles. Delta was already not having a great day when one of their...

Houston, we have a problem

Put out your pole and get ready for episode 93,000 of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. It's a late night, forgetful show here in the studio, and we say that lovingly. The reason? Donna is out of air conditioning. Houston we have a problem. We kick things off with a story about a man losing his hair piece. Enough said. Then we step into Joe Jonas and a bit of other brown note music news. Tune in and tune out. You know the drill. 7704646024.

RIP Richard the Beaver

We're back in the kitchen here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast and let me tell you, we brought the heat. (No really, Donna's mic is a little hot) In all seriousness it's a great episode of the Act as Caddy and Donna Jack dive into all your favorite topics. First up we have birthdays and Amazon purchases. Caddy claims he has never used the Mom and Pop store while Donna wants to know who is tracking their cats. Then we move onto a memorial service for Richard the Beaver which i...

Caddy needs a technology class. Just one.

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Don’t listen to this on speaker phone. But do listen to it. As Donna explains, one of her pet peeves is when people talk on speaker phone out in public as if no one in the world is around. Like, hello?! I’m standing here! Caddy agrees. It’s rude people. At long last, it’s time for the big reveal. Caddy and Donna reveal who they would pick to be on their Mount Rushmore of country music. A few of their picks may surprise you… Donna po...

Up and down, east to west

It's a great afternoon here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We're still recovering from the Fourth of July and have a few firey things to say. Strap in and tune out. I think. It's been a weird week for sure. Some people had the whole week off, some people worked every hour. We here on the show were on the clock the whole time. Donna hasn't stopped moving since last Thursday and has the oatmeal to show for it. Cadillac Jack completed the Peachtree Road Race for the first time, ...

Happy Birthday America!

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast and happy 246th birthday America. Caddy opens the show by readying a beautiful essay about the holiday and what it means to so many people across this great country of ours. Take a minute to enjoy family and the simple things in life, like ice in your lemonade. We’ve got it good here in the good old U. S. of A and don’t every forget it! Brandon Hutchinson, the Vice President and General Manager of Atlanta Motor Speedway joins the show ...

Leave John Mayer alone!

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! We have got Taylor Swift updates for all you Swifties out there. But first, Donna opens the show by talking about people, much like Caddy, who have rediscovered their calling and often times, their second act. Inspired by a podcast she was turned onto, Donna talks about people who get to age 50 or so and realize how much more they have to offer. Caddy has known Thomas Rhett since he was in diapers. He, his wife Lauren, and their kids ...

Where she going, who she with?

It's CNA week and we're hugging nurses. In a very fun way. Seriously though we want to start off the show by thanking all our nurses for everything they do.  Caddy and Donna Jack don't tear up too much, though, before spinning the old track. And by that we mean talking sweaty pits and chafing.  We also touch on the Titanic submersible and Tug's tickle pickle. Well, we wish on that last one. Don't you? 7704646024. 

Caddy Jack Month

Donna doesn’t have time for that. Shopping, that is. So she’s been getting a lot of Amazon packages. Some of them went to her neighbor and it gave Caddy the opportunity to find out what her name is. Happy belated Father’s Day! We get into Caddy’s big Father’s Day dinner and…Donna’s driving habits. We may have avoided a disaster and Charlotte is scarred for life. Juneteenth. Caddy has jokes. Is your spouse a bad driver? Or is it just Donna? Let us know. Text or call 770-464-6024.

YOLO and FOMO

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! On today’s show, we remeneiss about birthdays of old as Caddy hits the big 5-0. But first, everyone is in Italy! It seems like everyone and their brother has been to Italy this year. It’s the new 30A. Maybe it’s the post-pandemic mentality, but everyone seems to be traveling internationally, and specifically the Italian peninsula. Next up, we recap a little bit of Caddy’s big birthday dinner at Bones in Atlanta. If you’ve never been t...

Donna Jack, long haul trucker

It's a great day to be alive here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. To celebrate that fact, Donna and Caddy raise the roof. Or at least break the ceiling. Set the glass floor? Something like that. We were all seperated last week for Caddy's birthday, so the first part of the show is us getting back up to speed. The problem is at this point in life remembering the days can get kind of… hazy. Try and stick with us. If you get lost, hop on the nearest tollroad and let us know. 7704...

Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, Cadillac Jack

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! Larry the Cable Guy joins to play Can’t Beat Caddy. But first, Donna is feeling a little sore. She says…it may have something to do with not taking home that little pink slip. You know, the one that little kids take home that tells their parents that they’d tested positive for scoliosis. Well, Donna threw hers away. When you get a call from Rick Ross to join him at his VIP pool party after his VIP car show, you go. And that’s exactly ...

A lively drink

This show originally had seven minutes of dead air. We made an executive decision to cut that space, in light of a lively drink. Lord knows we need it. Donna and Cadillac Jack dig up some old tough memories as they get ready to celebrate Wil's birthday. The Jacks would - and have - done anything for the guy and fought to make it happen. If you've been following along, you know that means Caddy's Big Day is coming up too. Let me cry, love and leave this with you now: it's a big one. Can som...

Don’t come for me unless I call for you

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. On the show today Donna tries to sell furniture on Facebook Marketplace and…it doesn’t go well. But first, Donna and the girls went to see Ed Sheeran in concert where he set the attendance record at Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta. Yes, he beat Taylor Swift somehow. Unfortunately for Donna, she ran into a little bit of trouble with the police on the way back to Milton, but don’t worry, she had the last laugh. So, Donna has never trie...

Never fight forest fires

Welcome to flight school on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Lets take off. We're about to step next door to grab a pizza and talk about our proudest moments from school. Cadillac and Donna Jack get a few minutes into the stories before the sirens arrive. We just have one question - is he dead or alive? Couple show and radio notes to clear up as well. The parking lot party was this weekend, Caddy books Donna for an event to get her back from the mattresses and we reminisce on some remot...

3 pounds in the trunk

It’s getting hot over here on The Cadillac Jack My Second Act podcast. The weather. The weather is getting hot. Donna talks about her experience as a mom during summertime and the onslaught of boredom all you moms out there are about to be challenged with…from your kids. We all have big plans for the summer that just never end up panning out. Just go with it. Apparently, Americans are getting pretty high at work. Like, to record highs. Pun intended. What gives? Was it the pandemic? Chang...

Get your pickle

Donna, Cadillac Jack and I (er, is it me?) bring the heat and the brine for this episode of My Second Act.  After months of hunting, one Jack has gotten their pickle. Donna found a partner for pickleball and they're headed to the kitchen. She fills in Caddy on the rules and previews her new teammate for the beginning of this show. We touch on some music news before getting to the good stuff. Cadillac Jack also wants you to reach out. We are all going through different struggles and you w...

"I think a lot of it’s on you."

Kitty Cats and Comforters

It's graduation week here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. We have officially been dismissed and invited back for next year, which is more than you can say for one of the Jacks. Donna kicks us off by talking modern dorm rooms and how different they are from the early 2000's when she was in school. Caddy reminisces on the weeks he spent on campus himself and how that contributes to his toolbelt today. Stay tuned for part 2 - how to lift a bed. It's the supersize Country Music News edi...

The dingo ate my baby

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! You knew we would have some thoughts on the King’s coronation. But first, Donna has a story about a Olivia dropping off her Life 360 radar. You know, the app she uses to track her children’s every movement (Caddy still refuses to participate). All is well, but the experience sure made for some high anxiety. After another mass shooting in Texas, Donna and Caddy talk about the state of gun violence in the country, what is going on, and ...

3/4s of a show

For three quarters of an episode, you only get one quarter of show notes. Here's Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast, this time with a live studio audience. Just take a listen. If you sneeze, you'll miss it. 7704646024.

It reeked of the 420

Welcome back to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! After a week (or two?) out of your pod streams, we’re back and better than ever. Well, some of that is in part by luck. Donna almost got her car stolen and it now has a very…pungent smell, but other than that, we’re fine! It has just been incredibly busy over at the Jack household. Thank you to everyone who reached out though to check in on us. We have got a jam packed episode for you to catch you up on all the latest since we’ve...

Catfished by cleaners

It's a short sweet and slow morning episode of the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Must be something in the air. Cadillac and Donna Jack come in hot for this festive episode of the show. Donna brings the heat when it comes to laundry, parenting and app-driven contract services. Then there aare allegations of people catfishing others over a a few black (trash) bags of clothes. We just want to know - how do we seem to attract this kind of thing? Then we talk about ongoing country music tours...

I really don’t like people in general

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, we’ve got some omissions and updates. And one or two apologies. OK, maybe just one. But first, daughter Charlotte had prom this weekend and Donna recounts the event. Where does the time go?! How is it that Baby Char Char is attending PROM? Sigh. So, we hear you! We know we owe you a few updates on recent pod topics and we also have some clarifications to make. We’ll dive into some details about Caddy’s new job tech issues w...

Low energy. High T.

It's time for a 'kitchen sink' episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Er, I mean a 'kitchen table' show. Cadillac and Donna Jack head to the home office for a quick session. Why, you ask? Well the house is under attack and Junior-Senior Wars is underway. The audio quality is not our best but by now we know we'll all support eachother no matter what. Unless you smack gushers into the microphone. In which case there will be an unpleasant and foul easter egg left in next week's epis...

T-shirts and edible panties

They’re backkk. After a short vacation break, Caddy and Donna are back with a new episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. First, Donna explains where they were last week. They were just busy, folks, but we appreciate everyone who reached out to ask about them! Donna had back-to-back luxury vacations and Caddy had to work. What’s wrong with that picture?! On spring break, Donna went to Disney with Charlotte and Olivia, and let’s just say Donna could now teach a MasterClass o...

Encore: Turning left on red.

On today’s episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act, we’re going to the wayback machine: back to Episode 2, when Donna shocked the world with her thoughts about turning left on red. Enjoy! Kristian Bush of Sugarland and Dark Water fame gives the memorable introduction to his friend Caddy. If you still haven’t, you should definitely go show him some love and follow him on Instagram and Twitter @kristianbush. It’s a throwback to when Caddy reveals his New Year’s Eve crew, Donna talks abou...

Listen to this on a boat

On today's episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act, we take a trip over to Spotify Studios to talk with Joe Rogan. Err, to talk about Joe Rogan. Luke Combs was recently on the Joe Rogan Experience, the number two most popular podcast in the United States. Caddy and Donna cover the show and some of the country music star's choice words. We even throw Joe a bone. Have you ever done anything like a wrong name on a birthday cake? Or the wrong age? Well, we have. Here's a pro tip - "just stay...

Ma’am, your flight was yesterday

This week on the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Donna leaves Caddy at home by himself. That was her first mistake. As we mentioned on the last episode, 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 ho...

A good time not a long time

All you need to know about this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is that there are two versions. One with the F word and one without. Well, that and Donna is a going hunting. It's a super short episode but leaves a lasting impression. Disagree? Send us your receipts. 7704646024.

Boogie nights with Mr. T

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna discuss their body counts. Well, Donna does. Caddy ain’t playing that game. But first, Donna recounts a rather interesting (and gross) trip she had to the nail salon. The man next to her had some nasty toes. Like, dude you probably need to go see a podiatrist. Caddy’s feet are sensitive, but at least he keeps them pretty. Also, how much would you spend to keep the family pet alive? We all know about poor Ros...

Words hurt

Today's episode means we're one day closer to Spring Break on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Donna is prepping for her ski trip and Caddy really wants to get the dates right. Can someone say open house? Then it's time for Chris Rock to return to the guy we know. You know, the one at the end of the block? Broadcast live from Baltimore, the new Netflix special "selective outrage" celebrates The Slap Heard Round The World from last year's Oscars. Everything you need to know on the ...

Hear ye, hear ye!

On today’s episode of The Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Donna recaps the Alex Murdaugh murder conviction and Caddy finds love for Morgan Wallen. But first, Donna loves Easter candy. Caddy loves all candy, anytime. Donna was shopping the other day, and saw some really wacky candy though, and was about to raise cane about when, with the help of a store attendant, realized…it’s not that big a deal. Live moves on. But not for Alex Murdaugh. The highly televised murder trial conclude...

Uber Black to the Tabernacle

We want you to rate this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act five stars. Just not the podcast. And about four minutes thirty seconds in. Do you part your hair to the side? Are there emojis you don't recognize? Are there words like emoji you don't know? This may be the show for you. Donna brings a few tips to the Kids Corner, explaining some of the newest lessons (and words) she's learned on the street. It's a quick show because Donna's got places to be. It's called the Ruth's Chris bar...

Cigarettes or candy

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy has a new phone number. You only need it though if you can’t get in touch with your attorney. More on that in a bit. First, Donna has found a new Netflix show she’d like to recommend. If you are into documentaries, especially sports documentaries, she highly recommends the new golf profile, Full Swing. It gives viewers a behind the scenes look at the PGA Tour and the lives of some of its brightest stars. If you’re not...

At war with Ticket Master

It's a speedy episode today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. For those listeners who partake on 1.5x speed, you're going to want to turn the volume down.   First and foremost, Donna is in a fight with her HOA president. The Jacks are having some concrete poured, which is the most boring and grimacing way to spend a couple (lot of) racks. Down with Mark! Not that he'll be named.   Then Cadillac Jack is crossing things off his bucket list and doing items for the first ...

Two pigs wrestling in slop

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Donna knows she’s not supposed to look, but she just can’t help it. This weekend, Donna tagged along with Charlotte to play the role of “wrestling mom” at the state championship in Macon. Now, Donna has played a lot of mom roles, but wrestling was not one she’d checked off the list until now. It’s a very violent sport. And the uniforms are very revealing. In more serious news, Kyle Jacobs, a country music songwriter and hus...

All Cadillacs go to hell

It's always a great day when we get the "E" flag before opening credits finish on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.  The first segment is all about…. personal growth. Which is a kind way to refer to well, you know. If you're not comfortable with someone's attention, move down the hall. Donna and Wil (who is either 23 or 28) spent some time with Donna's mom moving to a new room. It ended up with Donna promising to watch a fantastic Christmas movie with a stranger. Or at least half o...
