Cadillac Jack - My Second Act

McDonalds has gone mining. Their partnership with Travis Scott has taken a turn that, according to Caddy, is dastardly brilliant. It all started a few months ago when the rapper blew off social distancing, pulled up in a Lamborghini and looked for a burger. Donna explains why the event's origins might be a little different and thinks it's the kind of marketing the money can't buy.  The topic blend...

The Jacks are feeling the love. That's why Donna brought five love languages to the table and forgot all the white wine. They're all covered on the first segment of the show right before Caddy "Get's Down On It."   There's an upcoming collaboration between Travis Scott and McDonalds. It's actually a pretty big deal, as the last person to score a similar deal was Michael Jordan. All you have to do...

As a Saturday treat, we're releasing a special episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act. Christy and Richard Roth stopped in to the studio to talk with Caddy and Donna about Hemp Farmacy. Tune in to hear about CBD from the experts instead of listening to the Jacks talk about Donna's plantar fasciitis.  

The first segment touches on the upcoming Halloween holiday. Wait, what? In all seriousness, Donna says that couple costumes have always been a part of the Jack's relationship. They run through a couple of past favorites and pitch a few ideas for this year.   Then Donna gives an update on her 141 campaign. She is charging everyone to do one new, productive thing for one month. Donna has heard from...

It's another great show on the My Second Act semi-music podcast. This one has games, background and three advertisements.   First of all, what's your checkout policy? During COVID, some folks are encouraging others to check yourselves out. That's the advice that Donna wants to listen to. Caddy has some opposing views about who should be checking out who right now.  It's game time in the Cadillac J...

Donna is going back to school. Caddy wants to take up some new instruments. It's a normal Thursday in 2020.   The first segment of the show covers some of the recent Country Music Awards nominations. To start, Garth Brooks got his wish. Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and Jason Aldean. Here's a name you weren't expecting: Justin Bieber. Then a name you were expecting but didn't see? Kelsea Ballerinio. C...

Today's episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is a quick hit.   First off, Susan Clark intro's the show. Not only does Susan Clark does she pipe us in, but comes with fighting' words. Susan is the only person who has (allegedly) Beat Caddy twice. We can't remember the old name, but we'll have a rematch of You Don't Know Jack to settle the score.   Donna and Caddy cover their feelings about upcom...

Listen closely: there are some absolute gems in this episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act.   Quick PSA from Donna to start of today's show. It really seems like this year has been a loop, so don't miss those deadlines.   Then Caddy and Donna recap the newest episode of Hustle, an interview with Ethan Daniels, before previewing a s[ecial edition of My Second Act. Watch for a bonus show covering...

To start the podcast, Donna explains her new 1-for-1 campaign. It's a response to how much noise there is going on right now (which is a lot). We're very excited about the project and hope it brings everyone some positive growth.   As it has become tradition, an early segment of the show is covering what's in the music pipeline. Cadillac Jack and Donna cover a project from Brothers Osborne and how...

There is a lot to cover on today's Happy Birthday Donna podcast. If we have any listeners who are a part of the Secret Service, please call in. Donna wants to run her codename by you. The show kicks off with coverage of new country music that is in the pipeline. Tim McGraw has a very special "first" for album release parties. We get an update on Keith Urban's new project, which will feature Pink a...

Another show in paradise here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast.  Luke Bryan biked a century- aka 100 miles- which makes Donna wants to summit something. She is thinking Machu Pichu or Everest. Caddy wants her to start with Kennesaw Mountain. Donna wants to swim across the English Channel. Caddy wants her to start with swimming across the Wills Park pool. Caddy uses the segment to cover...

WARNING: Those with mysophonia (see episode _______) may find this episode irritating. That's because Caddy has to consistently open and chew his edibles throughout the show. Drop his name at Hemp Farmacy and pick one up for yourself. How long will this go on? When will it end? That's what Caddy has been thinking about Donna's new workspace. The country music hall of fame inductees have been annou...

Welcome to Hustle with Bill Rawl- oh, wait. Wrong one. We're here at the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act (a semi-music music podcast) just like we are every Tuesday and Thursday. Donna went skiing last week. It wasn't in the mountains, or even intentional. It happened while she was out walking Caddy's favorite child (see last episode). Caddy and Donna have been obsessed with Lee Roy Parnell for a lon...

Welcome to Caddy Wagon with Ritch-oops, sorry! Wrong show. It's another day in paradise with Cadillac Jack: My Second Act (a semi-music podcast). 1. School is out forever. 2. Kenny Chesney bailed. 3. The Atlanta Ballet Nutcracker is cancelled. Is nothing sacred? That's what Donna want to know. After airing some grievances, she and Caddy spend a bit of time working through Atlanta's event schedule...

Jody Jackson has the intro today and there is no shortage of great JJ stories. He was a promotions director for Y106 and basically started March Across Georgia. Jody went to school with Donna (along with Julia Roberts) and now every time he calls, the Choates go crazy.   He's on another level of hard work. He lived on the road with T Graham Brown and helped Gov. Deal. Nowadays he's running the Joh...

Stacey has the intro. She has been a huge supporter since day one and, fun fact, her first concert (Hank, JR) came from tickets she won from Kicks at a Mrs. Winner's Chicken & Biscuits. We are so grateful to have her support AND her intro. Do you have trouble finding or taking pictures of the whole family? You're not alone. To solve the problem, Donna has taken to timehopping. Caddy drove to the s...

Bill Gentry has the intro on today's show. Caddy and Donna could have a whole month of episodes about Bill. He's always been in music. He's always been around. He has always had a certain air about him. He has always had a Wild history and we are thrilled to have him dial in today's Second Act. "I'm Donna Choate and men are babies." With that intro, the stage is set for today's show. Caddy and Don...

Val and Garrett gave us today's intro. They're industry pros and go way back with Donna. They are incredibly kind and loyal friends, which as we know is critically important. We are so proud of them and appreciative of their support over the years. Do you call Atlanta "Hotlanta?" Are you from Atlanta? That's what we thought. Regardless of the nicknames that carpetbaggers use to describe the city,...

Jodie Darden Hall intros the show today. She and Caddy went to high school together in Hickory, North Carolina. They got to reminisce about Hickory and Jodie gave Caddy an update- yes, Shells is still kicking and has a new diner. You may recognize it. Jodie has been a big supporter of Caddy's career and we're so thankful to have her kick off the show. Donna starts off the show with a big announcem...

Jon Brasher has today's intro. Brasher is Donna's wusband and taught her the mastery of deflection. He is hilarious, lives in Johns Creek with his family and is up next to have his own podcast *wink wink*. Thanks Brasher! If you've been listening since the beginning, you'll know that Caddy has been having some problems with his mouth. It's finally caught up to him. The first segment of today's sho...

Keith Connors intros the show today and it is NOT one you'll want to miss. Connors was also on in the morning and is "an absolute hustler." At the end of the show Caddy and Donna (particularly Donna) share some truly great stories about him to boot. It used to be that American tabloids were really aggressive but it seems like they've backed off. British tabs? Not so much. Johnny is not happy with...

Trudie Daniels has the intro today. Her job is to promote quite a roster of country artists and she works incredibly hard to accomplish it. There are so many things Caddy and Donna love about Trudie, but one of the major ones is how she handles herself in the industry. We're so thankful to have her friendship and intro on today's show. Donna has been spending a lot of… time….on Amazon. As a result...

Charlotte Choate intro'd the show today. "Baby Char-Char" has the absolute biggest heart for everyone (and all the animals). And push-pops. It's a quick post-fourth show today. Have you ever been to Southern Star Amphitheatre? What about the nearby Ramada nearby? Caddy and Donna have been to (and seen shows at) both. They cover what those venues looked like back then and the changes they've seen s...

Robyn and Brian have the intro today. They've been Caddy and Donna's next door neighborhoods for 15+ years. Their families have grown up together and the Henrys have always been so supportive. Caddy and Donna almost went away this weekend. The reason they didn't was NOT because Dolly isn't clean. It's a lot harder to get tested than you'd think. Caddy had to drive 45 minutes and then watch Gone Wi...

Huge thank you to Melanie for having the show's intro. Melanie was one of Caddy's first listeners back in '94. She has become such a great friend of the family and has been a supporter since the beginning. Including at Caddy's first wedding (where she helped limit the family fireworks). Donna and Caddy are falling apart. Physically. As a result orthopedic shoes and gum desensitizers are a-plenty....
