Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! If you see Donna while Black Friday Shopping – run. She’s in a throat punching mood. But first, do you ask your kids for their Christmas lists? It changes as they get older, and their priorities change, but you still want to surprise them? Remember when you needed to make sure that each pile of presents had the same amount in them or you had some ‘splaining to do? What gives with Morgan Wallen winning 11 BMA’s and 0 CMA’s? Well, we’ll tell yo...

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Please disregard the construction zone. Donna is on a mission. So, first off, you may hear some hammers and carpet ripping in the background. Give that noise no attention because as they say in the pod biz, the show must go on. Charlotte is sleeping in, Olivia and Zippy will be back soon from college, and there is a lot going on. We’ve got to get the house ready for Thanksgiving and Donna and Caddy talk about the do’s and don’t of the holiday...

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. Caddy lost his phone. Not that he would’ve texted you back anyways, according to Donna. Keyboard warriors. We have all known one. But there is one in particular that is really irking Donna over on The Bear 92.5’s Facebook page. You can call her all the names in the world you want…but just don’t call her this one. Also, Caddy lost his phone. We think we know where it is, but it needs to be tracked down. It reminds Donna of that one time she lo...

Pop culture. Trends. The CMAs. You know the drill. Here's Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. It's the annual special post- CMA Awards episode. The show was last night and we have fresh takes on the winners, losers and, well, Donna's moles. It'll make sense. We're best done in small phases. Really though we talk about Morgan Wallen and his (unshocking) result. We touch on Lainey Wilson and her watermelons. Caddy breaks a few copyright laws. Then we bring it on home with the new Ferrari movie and who i...

Welcome to another great episode of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast! What was YOUR worst first date? Honestly, it doesn’t matter. Donna has you beat. But first, Donna has to take the trash out at her store at Avalon and she has told management several times that they need to trim back the bushes so that people can SEE if someone is hiding over there ready to kill someone. Well, someone actually was (not to kill someone) and it freaked Donna out. But then, there is a twist. Now Donna ne...

Welcome to the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. We’ve got a tough Dead or Not Dead segment for you so buckle up. But first, Halloween is right around the corner and for parents of adult children it can be a great time to look back. Remember all those cute costumes we put our toddlers in? And then the silly ones through their teenage years until they thought they were too old to trick-or-treat? Puts a tear in Mama Jack’s eyes.

Welcome to another edition of the Cadillac Jack – My Second Act podcast. On today’s episode, Caddy makes it through a movie and Donna does a final final. As you all know by now, Donna and Caddy are down to one last baby cub in the house. Charlotte just had her last homecoming dance and Donna talked about the emotion of these “final finals” that are happening until Charlotte flies the coop. Homecoming was great – but there were a few hiccups. Also, Caddy sat through a movie! Like, an entire movie...

Rise and shine, it's time for Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. The first thing we touch on is the aftermath of Prime Day. If you are a longtime listener of the show, you know the Jack's garage is going to be full. The thing is it turns out it's full of a different kind of material. A marsupial. It turns into another animal control segment and gets a little hairy. Of course Donna turns it into a police officer ranking contest. From there we go to (another) house of debauchery. A home for fun...

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 different...

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 ...

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. Th...

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.

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...

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 stat...

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 yourse...

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 st...

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 Cadillac Jac...

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. What do ...

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.

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. From the...

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, you may h...

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 and thre...
