Cadillac Jack - My Second Act

Mercury is in retrograde and Cadillac Jack just has one question- what does that even mean? Donna explains the answer and let's just say… it might make a believer out of Caddy. Watch out Geminis. There are a few great peeks behind the Big Radio curtain on today's show. We've talked about things artists have to do when they're up and coming. Sometimes a label will trade horses with a station and th...

"Did you ever do anything in the radio days that would have gotten you cancelled today?" That's the theme of today's episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. In fact, it's Caddy's opening question. Near the end of the episode you'll hear about a skit from a few years ago that… well, yes, it would have cancelled Cadillac Jack.  Then, why wouldn't you just go to Dick's and buy some dumbbells? Most p...

There are a whole bunch of little green men tuned in to today's episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Well, probably.  The episode starts off with a list of things we get excited about. But then Donna asks, "what are you excited for this week?" Well, hmmm. "It's just easier to come up with things I'm NOT excited about."  This episode is not 60 minutes long, but it does include audio from 60 Min...

The stars were misaligned for this episode of the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.  There is no growth in cancel culture. It's a recurring theme on the show (growth, not cancel culture) and the Morgan Wallen news this week fits right into it.  Then there's a new game. Since the last episode, we've heard from a lot of folks asking about Caddy's decision-making process. So Donna came up with a...

It's the 4th "Explicit" show in a row here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. That's why this episode starts with the question of "What would Cadillac Jack do for $100?" The answers will… probably not surprise you.  The middle segment covers the international Tennifer news. Or as Matt Damon calls it, "a really fascinating story." You'll hear about Jennifer Anniston, Alex Rodriguez and th...

It's a sweet-then-sour-then-sweet-again episode on Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.  Donna starts us off with an update on the Acai berries and the air subscription service. You'll hear how we're coming for froyo and QuikTrip. She moves on to the watches owned by Cadillac Jack. He has them but doesn't really *have* them. It makes sense when you realize that it's really just a segue into wedding rings...

The show opens with a detective novel about Bill Gates, Detective Cline and Shania Twain. That's right- we're talking about 'gray divorce,' or splitting up after 50. Donna thinks that men get needier as they get older. Cadillac Jack agrees.  The second segment talks about a mother found in the middle of a desert eating grass and moss. The problem for her is that she didn't want to be found. "Are y...

So, did you get the medical Riff Raff treat? If not, take another listen to last Thursday's episode. We're all recovered and ready for the show to return to normal on this Second Act. Cadillac Jack asked folks what they were talking about over the weekend. You'll be almost as surprised as he was when you hear some of the answers in the first segment.  The second segment, and first story, of the ep...

We're just going to let it ride here today on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Tune in and listen up. You may even get rewarded with a Riff Raff treat…

It's very important to not try everything you see online. Cadillac Jack learned that firsthand this weekend. He tried to clean some plaque out of his mouth and avoid going to the dentist. Now he has just less teeth.  Do we really need the Oscars? Did anyone see a single new movie this year? The people who were nominated say, "yes." Donna and Caddy get into it, discussing all things worth knowing a...

It's prom night here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. For Caddy and Donna that means different things. For Donna, it's a trip to Six Flags. To Caddy, it's a trip… somewhere else.  Caddy and Donna's daughter Charlotte is a guest on today's episode, so that intro was kept pretty short. News about the Derek Chauvin trial broke as the show was starting, so we spend a few minutes on some gu...

You don't have to be a fan of country music to listen to the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. You can tune in to almost any episode and enjoy 45 minutes of twang-free banter. Today is not one of those shows.  Donna and Caddy take a deep dive into the Academy of Country Music Awards, covering this weekend's ceremony and every twangy, juicy, spur-studded moment from it.  Having a podcast has be...

How much is Donna's vision worth? That's the question that starts off this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Then, what did you want to be when you were growing up? Do you remember? Donna can pretty much tell you her exact plan. Caddy wanted to be one of two things and… they're very different. The reason we ask is because nowadays you don't hear kids saying what they want to be. At least th...

There are no naps allowed on today's episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Except for Bun, who is our podcasting Emotional Support Frenchie. She can nap all she wants. Donna and Caddy dive right in with a look at Taylor Swift and her MENSA-level "Swiftie" fans. Taylor has the first re-recorded album out now after the decade-long rift with Scooter Braun. The Jacks explain the situation and why i...

This episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is one of those things that you sign up for but when it actually happens….  Just kidding. That's what the first segment of the show is about, though. Caddy and Donna once signed up to host a nonprofit gala. Then they found out what it means to host a nonprofit gala. (Spoiler alert: it means you're on the line for cash.) Then this past weekend Cadillac J...

MAADA's Shayne Wilson stops by the studio to talk with Cadillac Jack about the 39th Annual Atlanta International Auto Show. Tune in and hear all about what you can expect at Atlanta's Spring Thing.  The Atlanta International Auto Show will be at Georgia World Congress Center from April 14 to 18. Get your tickets at goautoshow.com and we'll see you there!

Spring has sprung here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. To mark the occasion, it's a Spring-themed show. We start off with some friendly Spring Break PSAs from Donna, covering all things High School Spring Break. It's especially useful to any parents who may be chaperoning a group of kids for the week. Two hints: your bikes will get stolen and it's not water in that bottle. Then we mov...

It's another sing-songy Second Act here on the show today. Back in the day Caddy fell into a rabbithole following the O.J. Simpson trial. The same thing is happening as he follows the case of Derek Chauvin, whose trial is underway in Minneapolis. The segment does not take a political or social justice angle, but the perspective of a courtroom frequenter. If you're a Day One listener you'll know th...

It's a hoppy episode here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Donna and Caddy are stoked for Easter weekend, hopefully filled with golden eggs and cash. They intro the show with talks of old Easter Sundays and an update on Donna's bunny suit. They shift gears to cover the EF4 tornado that tragically hit Newnan, GA this weekend. One fatality is one too many and our hearts go out to the fam...

It's a rootin' tootin' enlarging episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.  Donna is longing for some friendly physical action. She feels like we all could use a little more platonic loving. It's a bug that has spread like COVID and is taking a toll on the Jack household. The good thing is that as of last week, she's vaccinated. Cadillac Jack? Not so much. He's more concerned about the fact that ea...

Donna wants to go to Bonnaroo, Burning Man or Talladega. Just hearing the 'T' word is triggering for Cadillac Jack. It brought back some frightening memories. Brown liquor and ashes at turn 1. Shutting down the state's third largest city in the Fall of '99. It's a shuddering trip down memory lane. Needless to say, we'll see you at the Talladega Superspeedway in April.  Caddy moves on to the other...

Cadillac Jack was roped into a Georgia Public Broadcasting telethon. He and Tina Turner ended up raising over $300 on the program. Morgan Wallen is now at week 9 at the top of the charts. Donna, Megan and Harry Styles all developed the same moves. It's just another Thursday here at the My Second Act podcast.  There's a new season of Caddy Wagon with Ritchey and Raider coming. To prep, Caddy has be...

It's the first show after the Grammy's and for this semi-music podcast that means one thing: we're going to spend a very small part of the show covering the awards.  First Donna and Cadillac Jack explain their Hype Song Playlist(s) and why they go from Jay-Z to Dolly Parton to Earth, Wind & Fire. Next, Caddy fills us in on his weekend with Olivia and their 20+ innings of softball. It mostly served...

This episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act features a man named Pee Pee and a Brit named Sean. Donna met Pee Pee on TaskRabbit. He's coming to the house on Friday to look over the trampoline. He said they'll make do. Meanwhile the CDC has new guidance on who can hug who. You'll hear the clip on today's and be just as confused as Caddy and Donna.  We go to Sean, the show's British Correspondent t...

Dolly Parton sings us in on today's Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. Then the show can't fully begin until Donna and Cadillac Jack clear the air. You'll have to stick with us through the first six minutes of the episode as we dig up some irritation with memes, communication habits and "a double dose of Rock."  The real show starts with a tip: You can now listen to Cadillac Jack: My Second Act...
