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 seriousness we...

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 all sorts ...

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 planes ...

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 is, hones...

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 poses the qu...

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, and se...

Happy Birthday America!

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 are a gr...

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 there…it’...

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. 7704646024...

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 what Cad...

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 someone s...

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 tried to sel...

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 remotes with ...

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? Changes to st...

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 would be s...

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 edition of ...

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 the pote...

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 been go...

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. Fear n...

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 we are so...

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 episode. D...

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 on how to...

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!

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 off him...
