On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna get into the backlash from the Taylor Swift/Ticketmaster pre-sale fiasco.

Oh, and somehow we meander into the continued conversation about Caddy’s bedside manner again. Dead or not…alive. The segment continues. We had to, as Donna left a ...

Grab the Dramamine and Fireball, it's time for the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We start off strong and passionate by talking Taylor Swift and the cutting edge Eras tour. Donna breaks down the new method of selling out stadiums with credit cards, presales and very long waiting lists. It's a marketing style that we think will be the new norm now that Swifties have proven the concept. Then we hear from @Jesus and Marvin Gaye, except Marvin isn't verified. So who knows. From there we go to...

On today’s special episode of The Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna sit down to discuss last night’s CMA Awards. The 2022 CMA Awards night was hosted by Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning and was full of highlights, funny moments and recognitions of artists we lost this year. Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood opened up the night by paying homage to Loretta Lynn. There were definitely some snubs, but for the most part, we think the right folks walked away with th...

If you have been wondering why Rita Martin married a man named Rubin she met at the skating rink, then this episode of Cadillac Jack – My Second Act is the one for you. Buckle up. But first, Donna sees some crazy things when she is working retail at the store. The other day a Spanish speaking *only* family came in to do some shopping.

We start this Halloween episode with a recap of black cats, questionable costumes and 2 pm traffic. One question off the top - when did Halloween costumes become so… short? Then we take it to Esther and her two CEOs. Do you think we are doing too much for our kids? Can we fix it by asking them to stir the pancake batter? Cadillac and Donna Jack chime in. Then a few quick hits, like daylight savings, Dolly Parton and Eminem. Which leads us to the next segment: Where do you get your news? If you'r...

As the Jack family continues to mourn the passing of Mr. Al, they’ve had some conversations about the afterlife, heaven, and many unanswerable questions. Like, who gets into Heaven and when you’re in, who do you hang out with? If you were divorced on Earth, do your kids still split time with each parent? Or, as Caddy suggests, is everyone just at peace with each other? In other news, Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter and he is cleaning house. He wants to remake the social media behemoth to, ...

Tough day at the office here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We start the show with copyright infringement and end it with, you guessed it - more copyright infringement. October 10 was World Mental Health Day and we have a bone to pick with our employers. And society. And Microsoft Outlook. This episode comes out at midnight, and if you're listening at 12:05: you're part of the problem. (Just kidding. Never stop.) Really though Donna starts us off by talking workplace boundaries and...

On today’s episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Caddy and Donna take a shot at Taylor Swift. Come at the queen, you best not miss. Donna opens the show about dads at the airport. Have you ever noticed that they walk really fast, especially when there is a mama with a gaggle of kids and 12 suitcases struggling behind him? Before bringing this subject to today’s episode, Donna did some (unscientific) polling, and it is definitely a thing. Caddy offers a defense on behalf of the me...

So the question is, when you try on a pair of pants in a dressing room, do you have the decency to put them back if you don’t buy them, or do you just leave them there for someone else to put back? Donna explores the answer to this one with some recent real life experiences she’s had with a dude who just couldn’t make up his mind. Ever been on a date that went wrong quick?

Donna Choate has a low tire. It is regularly low, in fact, even after attempts to fill it. So, Donna made her way over to one of those oil change and new tire in-and-out drive thru shops.

The one that his WIFE is currently carrying. Caddy and Donna discuss whether or not he was serious, if it matters, and his poor wife and what she is going to do. According to Donna, David ...

Luke Combs gets rowdy on college game day. It paid off. And the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act is here for it. But first, Donna has been a bit tired lately. So much so, she has been trying sleep apps she has found while scrolling the App store at night while lying awake in bed. The research may have paid off, and she’d here to start the show with a recommendation. Part of the reason Donna may be so tired is she had to deal with Caddy on a roundtrip…together…in the same car! Long time listeners of...

Throw out your run-of-show, it's a fly-by-the-seat episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. This week had curriculum night and Donna has broken into a cold sweat.

We have the Thursday blues here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. There's been some breaking news about Freddie Freeman. The problem is that the news is giving us trust issues when it comes to believing radio hosts. Awkward. (I wouldn't want to be Bobby Bluetooth right now.) We keep it rolling with a few more sports highlights (odd) before going into the Country Music Association award nominations. We fulfill our obligation as a semi-music podcast to talk Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, Pe...

On today’s installment of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast, Charlotte subs in for Donna, Fudge has really bad breath, and Caddy has an apology to make. Donna is running a little late returning from dropping Olivia off at college, so Charlotte joins the show to talk to Caddy about life now, as an only child. They have some good old fashion daddy/daughter conversation and Caddy avoids any and all mention of boys as much as he can. First though, Charlotte has a thing or two to say about Mo...

It's a Greek love fest here today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Donna almost ran away with a cowboy and "all the women are saying aluminum foil."

(#FromtheBooth) Executive producer Carl is not surprised that it's a player from Oklahoma. What's the difference between know-how and patience? Why don't the Jack's bikes have pedals?
