Caddy and Donna talk about where they went to celebrate, and where each of them were for their own 21st birthdays. Caddy’s happened a little after Donna’s. Where has the coronavirus gone? Where is Dr. Fauci? For months we were locked in our homes, massive unemployment and thousands of deaths…and then it just seems to have disappeared. Caddy and Donna talk about how were going to be talking it, and about what happened in the first half of 2020, for years to come. They’ll teach classes on it.

Thank you to Shelby Brehm for introducing today's episode AND picking Caddy's Hype Song! Shelby has been a longtime fan (back to 2009) and loyal supporter. We appreciate all the love over the years! There is a lot going on in the world right now. We're just now seeing light at the end of the coronavirus pandemic, as we've talked about before on the show, and now we are witnessing turmoil again. Another unarmed black man was killed by police while in their custody, in Minneapolis. We've all been watching the national protests on the news, and Caddy and Donna share some of their perspective. On a different note, Caddy talks about ESPN's new documentary about Lance Armstrong, after the Michael Jordan documentary was such a big success. We're finding out some thing now, like how much input Jordan had on the creative control, and wonder now how much Armstrong will be given the same. Also, Caddy and Donna talk about how these documentaries, including Kevin Hart's recent one on Netflix, have been a very raw peak into these celebrities lives.

You’ve heard Caddy and Donna talk about him before on the show and now he’s here to do the intro for today’s episode! William Choate III (aka Wil, Caddy’s son) makes Donna and Caddy proud as he is working hard, mastering his craft, and is just a great son. They are so proud of the path he is walking. XO Caddy talks about the time he pissed off Kix Brooks so much that he actually called in to the radio hot line and to give Caddy a piece of his mind. Now? Caddy he has his cell phone number. Hear how it happened. Caddy has been spending a lot of time with his dad and talking to him on the phone. He recounts a story about a time when he was a kid and got to go with his dad on a full day of sales calls across North Carolina. His dad was a traveling electronics salesman and there was a very funny incident involving a sales pitch and a camcorder. Apparently, the owner of the store who was trying to sell the camcorder had already put it to good use… Apparently, there is a girl who found out that her cell phone number used to belong to Elon Musk. She (he) gets some crazy text messages sometimes from people clearly trying to get in touch with Elon. Former Walt Disney executives and leaders at the CDC! Crazy. Caddy and Donna discuss, and Caddy explains how are some people out there that may have some of his old numbers, too. Joe Rogan just sold his podcast for $100 million. That is not a typo. Media is changing and we think it’s pretty cool stuff. Spotify if you’re listening, call us. Pod peeps, listener mail and more on today’s episode. Cadillac Jack. New show, same ride. Enjoy!

Caddy and Donna talk about how much they loved summer camps for their kids and the freedom(!) it meant for them. Live sports are BACK! Well, sort of. NASCAR just had a race with no fans and Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady just did a golf match to raise money for Covid-19 relief.

Thank you to Laura Jesseph for introducing today’s show! She has got to be one of our favorites so far because she met us in the parking lot before we recorded to bring us home baked treats. Donna met Laura at Atlanta Magazine and the two worked together on some projects and have been friends ever since. We kick off the show with some behind the scenes stories about radio promotions. Ever hear a radio station say they want to pay your bills for a month? Find out how those promotions come to be. On top of that, promotions on the radio today are not what they used to be.

Thank you to Bo Jackson for introducing today’s episode! Bo used to tutor Caddy and Donna’s son Wil and is just a great person, teacher, dad and person. Thank you for all you’ve done for the kids and our family, your friendship and support! Last week Caddy had a confession to make on the show. He shared with Donna for the first time the news about his 2nd speeding ticket in the last couple weeks. Today we come full circle and Donna has a confession of her own. Caddy and Donna reminisce about the 2005 CMA awards which were held in New York City instead of their traditional spot in Nashville. Everyone flew in for the show and the parties. Garth Brooks sold out Central Park. Keith Urban was crowned ‘Entertainer of the Year’. It was a strange experience, and a big deal, because at least at the time country music radio did not have a presence in the city. We’re getting a little casual with our attire during all this coronavirus time. Maybe too casual? We’re also forgetting what day it is – a lot. Caddy wore sleep pants out to eat the other day. Hear about some crazy new trends happening around the country. All that and more on today’s episode. Cadillac Jack. New show, same ride. Enjoy!

Thank you to Sara Hogan for introducing today’s show! Sara is one of Donna’s best friends. They met at Kicks and have been friends ever since. She taught Donna a lot about being a stepmom, coparenting and so much more. Thank you so much for your friendship over the years! Caddy has something to tell Donna. Something to…admit to. But he has waited until now, while they are recording this episode in studio to give her the news. Let’s just say she was not happy. Find out what happened and how it all played out. Get Appy! Everyone’s favorite segment is back with a new app recommended by Donna called x2VOL. It is a useful if you have kids who need help tracking volunteer hours. This helps them for stay organized so that they can report those hours to their high schools or when applying to colleges. Avoid the last-minute panic of trying to remember where and when they volunteered! Everyone remembers and misses the hit television show The Office. One of its more famous episodes and scenes is the wedding dance from the episode when Jim and Pam got married. They did a reunion Zoom call recently, and it helped inspire a couple in Maryland to reenact the scene when Jim proposes to Pam. The couple sends John Kransinski the video and what happens next is awesome. Hear the latest on the Kenny Chesney vs. Drake for the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 album charts.

Thank you to Mike “Strawberry” Rogers for introducing today’s episode. Strawberry is a huge Eric Church fan, just like Caddy. He was a very dedicated listener when Caddy was at Kicks and they would often see each other at concerts. Appreciate your support and friendship over the years! TikTok has a huge influence on music downloads and the Top 100 charts. So, Drake reached out to a guy named Tootsie (a TikTok influencer) to help pump his new album up, which dropped a couple weeks ago. Well, it worked. Hear Caddy walk you through the timeline and how its going to work going forward. Donna and Caddy have a drive-by birthday party story to share. This one was over in Donna’s old stomping grounds and the memories came flooding back. Believe it or not, sounds like Caddy had a good time, and has a story of his own to tell, too. Governor Kemp has been doing his COVID19 press conferences. Caddy and Donna were listening to one last week and the very first question went to a guy named Tyreke from Tyreke on the Run. Caddy was a little thrown off. Who the heck is this guy?! Find out. All that and more on today’s episode. Cadillac Jack. New show, same ride. Enjoy!

Thank you to U.S. Navy Lt. Kellen Johnson for introducing today’s podcast by giving a Mother’s Day shoutout to your mom from Camp Lemmonier, Djibouti in the Horn of Africa. Her mom, Karen Newberger, lives in Alpharetta. Happy Mother’s Day, and thank you for your service! Caddy will no longer be justifying his whereabouts and daily activities by explaining that he is social distancing and doing all the right things. He thinks its about time that we all just go about assuming that we’re all going to be going about our days as safely as possible. He gives some examples and explains why he is over it. Speaking of the coronavirus – cruises are back! Well, soon they will be. Everyone remembers the now infamous episode of the pod, “Death starts at $269”. Caddy and Donna revisit the episode because of new some new Carnival Cruise Lines commercials pushing some fun starting August 1st. You in?

Thank you to Wendy and Marty Ellin for introducing today’s show. They are great friends and Donna and Wendy in particular go back to days together at Kicks. Nowadays Wendy is a productivity consultant – helping people get organized in their personal and professional lives – something we all need right now! Marty is the Executive Director of the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Association, offering pro bono legal representation to those who really need it. We love these guys! It is Giving Tuesday. If you have a non-profit you’d like to help make a difference with…today’s the day. In particular, Caddy wants to give a shoutout to the Wellstar Health System, who as we’ve talked about on the show helped save his life. Help them save even more lives during this pandemic by making a donation and sharing your support for Wellstar on social media by including the hasktag #GivingTuesdayNow. Spread the word! Spotify just topped 130 million paid subscribers. Caddy and Donna talk about the music platform and what artists have taken advantage of the increased exposure to fans who may be tuning in more now during the pandemic. There is one artist in particular who has 4 of the top 20 Spotify songs of all time. Find out who. There is a scandal going on at Georgia Tech right now, and Caddy thinks were just seeing the tip of the iceberg. There is a website, Chegg, which is designed to help students connect with online tutors. They provide answers to questions and by design help kids learn. BUT, some students at Tech were exposed to have cheated on their final exams by sending questions to the online platform. Caddy isn’t so sure 100% of the blame lies with students. Find out why.

Thank you to Hans Appen, our show producer, for introducing today’s episode! Man, what a guy. He has got to be one of the sharpest, most handsome guys in the podcast industry. We just don’t know what we would do without him! And he in now way has anything to do with writing the episode descriptions for the show… Donna is following the Jay Cutler/Kristin Cavallari divorce drama closely and there is some fishy stuff going on with their social media and divorce filings. What she saw led her to google “Jay Cutler cheating”. She has got some theories about what’s REALLY going on. Get Appy! Everyone’s favorite segment of the pod has a new feature to it. Due to the segment’s popularity we’ve decided it needs its own intro music. Thank you Rob Jenners! Check out this episode’s featured app, Fetch. Caddy is quitting quarantine. He’s done. With it all. He’s been going stir crazy in the house, like a lot of people, but he’s had to just take some breaks and drive the back roads of North Fulton/Cherokee counties. For Caddy, a lot of it is about feeling like he’s not in control – of a lot of things. He and Donna talk about how else they’ve been handling and where they think we go from here. NEW PROMOTION!

Thank you to Evelyn Kay Soto for doing the introduction to today’s show! Caddy met Evelyn back in the Kicks days when she got a job reporting traffic on the radio. Now she is an Atlanta based voice artist doing great things for radio and television. Thanks for all of your support and your friendship! On the way in to record today’s episode Caddy got pulled over. He gunned it out of his neighborhood, and well, never slowed down. Hear about the ordeal and his upcoming court date to appear. We still love all our men and women in blue though – they are doing incredible work protecting us during this trying time. On the show Caddy and Donna talk about the state of local journalism and how its more important now than ever for community news about what is happening in your backyard.

Thank you to Christy Darby for introducing today’s show! Caddy got to know her through interaction on social media from back in the Kicks days and she’s followed him over to the podcast. Thanks for all your support! There was a little drama in the Choate house surrounding game night. Donna got a little impatient playing ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ and she may or may not have ruined the came for Caddy. He’s a little bitter. Find out more. Luke Combs just released what Caddy thinks is going to be the anthem for this crazy time, much like Alan Jackson’s Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) after 9/11. It is called Six Feet Apart and Caddy thinks it will be the CMA Song of the Year. Donna and Caddy discuss. Has self-quarantining got you thinking about an old friend? Or even an ex-significant other? Everything is changing and current circumstances can leave you thinking about the past and what could have been. Donna and Caddy talk about how we mourn, celebrate and how to cope with some of the loneliness you might be feeling. A year ago, Caddy ran over Roscoe, one of the family’s beloved coon hounds. It was a traumatic event for the whole family and we’ve all heard tid bits about the story, but on this anniversary Donna and Caddy recount the whole ordeal. He’s doing great now! Thanks everyone for checking on him and sending your love his way. NEW PROMOTION! Do you know someone in your hometown who is going above and beyond during the coronavirus pandemic?

Thank you to Scott Hayes for introducing today’s podcast! Scott works at the new Magic 105.9 in Brunswick, GA. A long time lister of Caddy’s on Kicks, they got to know each other over the years and we are proud of all your work supporting the special needs community. Thank you! Learning anything new about your spouse while quarantined during the coronavirus outbreak? Caddy and Donna have. You have GOT to hear what each has to say about the other. Martha Stewart is a new woman. And not in all the most appropriate ways for social media. It can be pretty funny though. Donna is here to tell us all about it. Another NASCAR driver is at it again. We talked on a recent episode about Bubba Wallace getting in trouble and losing a sponsor for just quitting a simulated race. But Carl Larson…man he screwed up. With one slip of a tongue he has now been suspended and lost sponsorships as well. All that and more on today’s episode! Cadillac Jack. New show, same ride. Enjoy!

Thank you to Betsie Richards for introducing today’s show! Betsie is a long-time friend and Caddy talks about some of the fun times they have had together over the years. Truly an amazing person. Virtual doctors. This is a new phenomenon for a lot of us. Donna talks about a friend who experienced this for the first time, and…oopsies! Hear about what NOT to do when the doctor joins the Zoom call, and plenty of strange new coronavirus stories to share. Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen went through a few rough spots a couple years ago. Tom actually went on The Howard Stern Show recently and talked a little bit about it. Caddy and Donna talk about what it means that even “the perfect couple” can have marriage trouble and how we can all learn from that. Caddy explains what he didn’t understand about the game Uno, Brittany Aldean social media post gets some blowback, and Roscoe is digging some awfully big holes in the back yard.

Thank you to Cal Cross for introducing today’s show. Cal and Caddy go way back in the radio industry. He worked at Y106 until 1997 and he’s now back on the airwaves with 92.5 The Bear. Some kids are struggling to stay occupied while quarantining at home. They are rearranging their rooms, doing google hangouts with friends, and who knows what else. On a previous show Donna talked about how she and the girls have been going on bike rides. She made a couple new purchases to that end, but you’ll never guess what she forgot. Donna continues to sort and organize family photos (make sure to subscribe to The Letter e-newsletter to see a few). She and Caddy talk about a few she rediscovered and the stories behind them. They also talk about Caddy’s mother, and her refusal to let young Caddy hang posters as a child. And as an adult. Happy birthday to our friend and OG sponsor of the show Tracy Cousineau! She is donating a % of all closings to Atlanta Food Banks during this crisis. Support her and this cause by giving her a call!

Thank you to Paula Hollar Baker for introducing today’s pod! Paula and Caddy go way back to middle and high school and Donna has gotten to know her well over the years, too. Our biggest fan from North Carolina! Caddy is getting a little stir crazy and needs a haircut. It’s getting rough. So rough in fact that Donna giving it a go is actually on the table. If you are going a little stir crazy too, Caddy and Donna have two social media accounts they want you to check out. On Instagram check out @thelesliejordan. He is an actor that you may recognize but his posts are HILARIOUS.
