Alright, let's go. It's time for the August 4th, rising moon, leo aligned, Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Caddy went to producer Carl's favorite place this side of the Mississippi.

Donna opens the show with a game based on a little TikTok sensation that involves rating people and adding qualities to them that either upgrades or downgrades their “score.” Would a girl with a dog named Dale Earnhardt be a plus or a minus for you? Caddy breaks into his own house. Well, sort of. He has an explainer for the Thursday episode. Like, literally how the episode was dead and then it wasn’t. It involves a LOT of trust in his IT guy. Joanna Cotten is stepping aside and taking another st...

It's a short one here on Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. And we are only talking about length a little bit. Have you thanked your IT guy today? We sure have. Better yet, make sure to visit them at Christmas, because you want to stay in their good graces. You have no idea the power they wield. It's time to get out the film, shutterfly and scrapbooks. We're headed down (photographic) memory lane. If there was one thing you've done that you could relive, what would it be? Donna has two answers. You k...

Donna opens the show to talk about boundaries – in love, parenting, work, you name it. It’s a follow up to a segment about children and adoption. Donna’s advice? Control what you can control, which includes how you react to what you can’t control. Donna takes a CDL pre-test because she is bound and determined to pull a big rig up to the Ritz-Carlton. Caddy administers the test and Pod Peep Karen Thomas joins the show later to grade. Where the heck did Donna get this idea? Hint: TikTok. So appare...

We're all getting dressed up for a pageant and the theme is sweet peach. You'll hear about why in the ~2nd segme...

Donna and Charlotte went to the movies this weekend to see Chris Hemsworth…I mean to see the new Thor movie.

Find out what got Donna all hot and bothered – other than Chris Hemsworth. Also, remember when pod peep Linda Leon said that she prays for Donna differently than she prays for Caddy?

Donna opens the show with both a shoutout to Olivia for her birthday this week and by reminiscing on kids getting older, not having as much time for mom, and just in general the circle that is life. It goes by in a flash and everyone should enjoy every second of it – especially with your babies. Casey Motter has been the voice of the Braves at Turner Field and now Truist Park for the last 15 years. Tragically, he passed away in his sleep last week.

It's Groundhog Day here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Are you someone who is regularly late, or early? Donna has been late, lately, and it's getting old early. Maybe? I don't know. Groundhog. We talk panhandling, Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift at the beginning of the show. What's the commonality with all three? Street weeks. Then we cover the pigs. Piggies, to be exact.

On today's episode of the Cadillac Jack - My Second Act podcast, we've got Taylor Swift stories. But first, Father’s Day was Sunday and we kick off the show talking a little bit about what it means to different people. Some people no longer have their fathers in their lives, for whatever reason, and Donna talks about what that’s like, too. She lost her dad in 1998 and for her, Father’s Day is a reminder of how much she misses him and wishes she could talk to him again and get his advice. About 1...

A lot to cover on today’s jam packed episode of The Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. But first…it’s hot. Too hot. And Donna shut all the vents in the vents in the house because the ants are taking over. Or are they? Are we losing our minds?! We’ve also had a Richard the Beaver sighting…we think. Donna pulled over (after some jerk honked at her to speed up) to check in on old Richard and make sure she got a peak at the paddle tooth. Were those baby beavers with him? Wait, do beavers nurse? ...

Stretch your imagination for this firey episode of the My Second Act podcast. Unfortunately for Cadillac Jack, it did NOT earn a triple E rating. First we talk about The Top 10 Ways to Catch Your Spouse Cheating (and the best way to get away clean). Then on an entirely unrelated note, lets just say that Donna has a thing for badges. So much so that she's hunting for an investigation at the Alpharetta police station- or is it City Hall? Then we move on to SNL, Kim Kardashian and the real definiti...

The trial is coming to a close, and I have one question: who keeps the My Second Act podcast? That's what Johnny Depp *could* be worried about, if he was a part of the show that everyone is already talking about. The good news is that he isn't, and we're giving away some concert tickets to celebrate. We have a real issue with anti-slap laws. No, sorry, anti-SLAPP laws. (Leave it to California to try and back the Depp.) Cadillac and Donna Jack fill in the gaps about SLAPP, forensic evaluations an...
