Cadillac Jack - My Second Act

Nashville's own John Rich is a special guest on this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. When Caddy and Donna finish reminiscing about the Topless Taqueria del Agua, John phones in to talk to the pair himself. From bars that close at 9 to the cancellation of Dr. Seuss, it seems like we've seen it all. If there's one person who attest to that, it's John Rich.  John explains how he got into bus...

It's award season here at the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We take a look back at "the first awards show to try and do it," the Academy of Country Music awards.

PS - Who even is the Hollywood Foreig...

It only took 125 shows before the Zodiac Killer made his way into an episode title. Here at the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcasts, we're pretty proud of that. In other, non-Texan news, Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift have reached new heights. The last folks that high were Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks. No, seriously. Caddy and Donna cover it in the first segment of this semi-music podcast. Then...

The show kicks off with tthe marketing vitality of "the Tik Tok." Then Caddy doesn't understand the backlash towards Ted Cruz and his Sandals vacation. Donna starts her response by pointing out that Sen. Cruz was headed to the Ritz, not Sandals. Only one thing is for sure, and this is not a joke: as we record there is a mariachi band playing outside the Senator's house. As Cadillac Jack says, "fin...

Like beavers, the cast and crew of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act are delicate creatures. That's why Caddy had to get a massage before recording this episode and "hang out in the chill room" for two hours. Donna… well, Donna was not getting a massage or hanging out in the chill room.  The ACM Awards are headed back to Nashville. Victor Sansone, who is big in country radio and Caddy and Donna's forme...

(As in, kids breaching their parents')  04:29 - The possibility that the Conway family (Kellyanne, George and Claudia) h...

This episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is split into two very different parts. First there is some pretty gut-wrenching news about the son of Dr. Laura Berman. It leads to a frank discussion about the difficulty of quarantine for teenagers, but also the dangers of unrelated Big Tech. Above all, the message is one of transparency and communication. Make sure everyone you care about knows the...

A few episodes ago, Caddy added Strawberry Wine by Deanna Carter to the playlist per a request from pod peep (really, superspreader) Melissa.

And we're not just talking about when he ran Donna off the...

To the parents listening- how closely do you pay attention to the appropriation of Christmas presents? Are you on the Donna side of the spectrum or Cadillac Jack's?
