Cadillac Jack - My Second Act

Apple classifies My Second Act as a semi-music podcast. That designation is earned on today's show, which covers Morgan Wallen, Sam Hunt, Old Dominion and a lot more.  The episode starts off with Morgan  Wallen's return to SNL. It's a broadcast segment but music is reinforced with the news that Bob Dylyn has sold his entire catalog. One more time: Bob Dylan is selling his entire catalog of music....

It's the time of year when Donna is feeling like Uncle Charles. A celebrity is asking for a seven-figure child support agreement. Spotify is wrapping everyone up. All that plus Cadillac Jack outing himself on this episode of My Second Act.  The show starts off with a musical recap of 2020. Caddy and Donna look  at what hits have come out of the year and what they've been listening to the most. The...

The combination of Donna's Christmas love and Caddy's True Crime obsession has lead to a new tradition in the Jack household.  You could get away with a lot of things- possibly even a murder. One of the Jacks has thought it through. The first, dark segment of the show teases us along that perfect plot.  To fulfil our obligation as a semi-music podcast, the following segment runs through the recent...

It's time for some Thanksgiving mishaps. Caddy and Donna celebrate the day by reflecting on a few historical uh-ohs that have occurred over the years. Just for the record: It's important to remove the bags and packaging from turkeys before cooking.  Speaking of burnt birds, the next segment moves to cover Justin Bieber. Donna is a fan but worries about whether or not people take the artist serious...

Donna and Caddy brought their ham receipts on today's episode of My Second Act. It's a quick coverage of all things Honey-Baked, including what to do if you (or your hubby) forgets to order one.  Then Donna tells the story of what Olivia thought of Zach Brown and the time she got to meet him at the station. One big happy Zamily here on the My Second Act podcast.  The first major segment of the sho...

Donna is used to plotting and planning, which is something that has gone out the window. This year it will affect her Black Friday shopping, and Cadillac Jack's Cyber Monday experience. It reminds him of a time when an old Program Director made a judgement call and had Caddy working the holiday. The question is, should My Second Act also give away a parking spot?  Then it's time to talk about Tayl...

There's something about Thomas Rhett. When artists get rolling they have a tendency to consistently put out fantastic material and that's exactly what is happening with Thomas Rhett. That's the first topic touched on during today's Second Act.  The conversation kicks off Donna and Caddy's recap of the CMAs. There was a lot to cover, including how artistic Eric Church can be outside of music, and i...

One, two, three, four, five, six… or something. With all the counting going on these days, Donna is having nightmares of her time as UGA Zeta's rush chair. She's also consistently asking herself W.W.D.P.D. For those who don't already know, that's "What would Dolly Parton do?"   The Country Music Awards have not escaped the effects of COVID-19. Artists have dropped out and performances have been mo...

You called. We listened. The verdict is in and the episode has been declassified. Here's what Cadillac Jack had to get off his chest... Cadillac Jack is under the gun.

It doesn't take long, though, for him to admit he knew it was coming.  Afte...

Cadillac Jack has been trying to suppress Donna's vote all week.  At the same time it was Caddy whose ballot was flagged when he got to the precinct. We'll see which one will end up on the rolls.  Eric Church has a few new songs out. Caddy thinks that means he has a double album in the pipeline. That's because Eric Church with no street week, promotion or interviews, dropped Mr. Misunderstood.  Th...

There was a horrible storm in the southeast- Tropical Storm Zeta. Some of its effects were felt by Donna and Cadillac Jack.  After giving a brief report, Caddy and Donna move on to covering how it relates to Naked and Afraid. Let's put it this way- if you were on the show, how much pixelization would you need? We make this promise to you: there is (almost) no talk of the 2020 election on this podc...

Christmas has been cancelled for the Jacks. Roscoe had to go to the emergency room and his treatments drained the holiday slush fund. He's doing much better now but it goes to show: be careful what you get into in Cadillac Jack's backyard.  After filling everyone in on Roscoe's status, Caddy and Donna move on to Borat. Whether you're a fan or not, everyone must acknowledge the strength of the work...

Would you ever join a nudist colony? What about visit a nude beach? What's the difference? Donna and Cadillac Jack start the show answering those questions. Unfortunately there aren't any tips on how to hold the cup of coffee.  Then some quick hits from Garth Brooks, Mariah Carey and Rich Robinson. It makes Donna ask if popular music will ever be the same. Find out November 20th with Garth.  The s...

Have you ever been in the bar, barefoot, at last call, when the Cowboys show up? Donna has, and knows it has happened to Caddy too, because she was with him when it happened.  Believe it or not there was a time when some Florida Georgia Line was considered "new country" and certain radio stations wouldn't play it. Bet that has changed since then. Caddy and Donna talk about it and why it's importan...

Caddy is self-diagnosing. This week the ailments have been racking up and Cadillac Jack knows what prescription he needs.  It's important for folks to bank their fame. Whether industry-deep personalities or organic rising  stars, you never want to be the last person at the party. Well, unless you're Cadillac Jack. On a serious note, handling fame and admiration well is a trait that can end up bein...

The secret is out. Caddy has been busted. Today's Second Act starts off with Cadillac Jack under the gun. It doesn't take long, though, for him to admit he knew it was coming.  After the brief confessional, Caddy and Donna move on to welcome Charlotte to the studio for a few playlist additions.

Be careful tuning in to the first segment of the show, when Caddy and Donna cover a recent trip to Benihana.  Moving right along, the show plays a new game: Are You Smarter Than A [6th] Grader? It's because there was recently an...

Have you ever been asked to play beer pong at 1 PM in the afternoon? What about poker? For Donna the answer is yes- both happened this week.  The first presidential debate was Tuesday and that only means one thing- Saturday Night Live is going to be really good this weekend. Caddy and DOnna run through a couple clips from the "debate" and talk about some of the more serious implications. Then you'...

It's a tough show today on Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Everything gets rolling when Donna brings to the table a story of a man who just didn't want to get rescued. If it was Caddy in the quarry, she would have been ticked. If it was Donna, she wouldn't have wanted anyone to intervene.  After explaining that one particular difference between men and women, the Jacks move to covering a few quick h...

It's also the first street week we've seen since the pandemic (or whatever you'd like to call it) interrupt...
