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 gut reactions. As a professional jury consultant, Cadillac Jack came prepared. Afterwards there is an update from Donna and her Madonna. Then, it turns out the ACMs had mixed reactions. The Academy of Country Music Awards were a bit of a toss up this year. The most important segment of the show is when Charlotte tunes in. The Jacks start with their hype songs, move towards hookey and then shift into driving lessons. Once they’re through the gate, the three talk about the third-child-dilemma. Caddy brings up some history that Charlotte didn’t know about…. Again. This time it’s live on air. Were you surprised?

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’ll here a couple lighthearted clips that will definitely catch jokes on SNL (which returns this Saturday). Did you know that Daughters Day was this week? Caddy did. Donna did. Want to guess which one celebrated it? Then finally tt’s the best time of the week: Appy. Donna’s new favorite app is all about meal prepping and healthy eating. As usual the show rounds off with a Pod Peep or two before rolling off for a weekend of cold opens. Take a listen, give a watch and then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.
Donna Philippot is a Middle School Drama, Language, and Literature teacher at Hopkins West Junior High near Minneapolis, MN. She joined us today to talk about overhauling her classes into an online system in only a matter of weeks. For Donna, it seemed the watershed moments kept coming, as COVID19 affected her both personally and professionally. When she worries about her students, she emails, calls, or shows up in their driveways to let them know she cares. Donna worries about the students who are sad, as they are coming into the long term realization of the realities of 2020. To keep from overwhelming herself and her students, Donna thinks about the essential learning as she builds meaningful, accessible assignments. She tries to value their time and interests, and strives to be resourceful. Her drama students, for example, were encouraged to create lip syncs, puppet shows, and videos to share with the rest of the class. Donna finds "normalcy" in moving around her house to new places while working from home. She misses hugging her family members and friends. She predicts that when she can hug people again, she will do "that big, ugly cry" with gratitude. When she thinks about the future, she worries about the mysteries of the virus itself, and hopes that we will be "so much better at being kind to each other" when this is all over. Hear the interview wherever you get your podcasts.Show notes: Donna mentioned being a long-time reader of Margaret Atwood's dystopian novels. Take a look at Atwood's classic, The Year of the Flood. One of Donna's favorite quote is Dave Hollis' "In the rush to return to normal, use this time to consider what parts of normal are worth rushing into." She also finds comfort in Brian Dreyas' saying, "You may not see it yet, but you will speak with reverence and awe of this, even to the end of your days, that you were here when we remembered who we are."Interview Date: 5/7/20Connect with us:Click here to tell us your story.Why is it called More and More Every Day?

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 long time. So much so that they used to try and get radio shows to book him for parties. That plan never came to fruition but Bill Gentry saved the day with a Lee Roy show in Gainesville. On the next segment the show covers a few up and coming country projects. There is a lot of secrecy surrounding one of them but Caddy has a bit of insider information. On an “unrelated” note, the segment also covers a new tape from Keith Urban that is set for a September release. Do your kids drive? If so, what are your car rules? Caddy and Donna give their answers and talk about the driving aspect of parenting. Naturally that leads into a trip down Whips and Rides memory lane. Caddy used to have a sunroof and a CB whip antenna. Donna asks if his handle was “Crusty.” It’s a short segment. Donna has found a cure for her plantar fasciitis. The solution can also help with sleep, anxiety and body aches. It’s a big part of the show and we’re excited to share. Caddy gets to end the segment by saying something he’s been waiting for years to say. “Drop in, drop my name and score a free edible.” Donna and Caddy have been preparing for classes to start. Well, Donna has. Caddy actually finds out about school policies on the show today. Donna has a few ideas for how educators can help students grow in these new conditions. We get an Appy this week! Donna’s segment helps families (especially kids) budget and learn financial responsibility. In your life, you will be lucky to have three people that you can absolutely count on. For Donna and Caddy, one of those people has been Norm Schrutt, who passed away last week. The last segment today is a brief reflection of Norm and some of his impacts. Norm was President of ABC Radio and hired Caddy when he was 19. Then he gave Donna her big shot in Atlanta. Without a doubt, the Choates wouldn’t be where they are today without him.

Tim Burton's adaptation of Sleepy Hollow plays pretty fast and loose with Washington Irving's source material and for those of who us who grew up with the more faithful Disney cartoon, that was an aspect of this film that definitely took us by surprise. Going into this, opinions were pretty mixed. Despite this revisionist take on Ichabod Crane and a more complicated lore surrounding the Headless Horseman, Chris loved this movie when he saw it back in 1999. For Donna, the changes were too big a pill to swallow and she was disappointed to discover it was more silly than scary. Carlos had been so put off by the advertising that he'd never even seen this all the way through. Looking back on it now, Sleepy Hollow marks an interesting point in the careers of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. What separates this film from some of their less successful collaborations? Is it even that separate? Did they change or did we? And did this more objective viewing alter how any of us felt about it? Topics include: the film's origins as a low-budget slasher, how Scream reinvigorated the studio's interest in the project and altered their entire approach, Chris' main gripe with the movie and how a sub-genre of Italian horror films helped him reconcile it, whether or not the Horseman should speak, what's really inside the Tree of the Dead, the mean streak running through this that's absent from most of Burton's other work, the exhaustingly complicated final act, and much much more! iTunes / Stitcher / RSS / Facebook / Twitter / Instagram About The Show
After a run of some less than stellar films, the HDYR gang decided to try and lift their spirits by revisiting A League of Their Own - a movie they all loved as kids and have continued to adore as adults. For Donna, it was the spark that ignited a feminist flame. For Carlos, it was a sports movie with the perfect blend of heart and laughs. And for Chris, it was the inspiration to try and start his own baseball league (with predictably disastrous results). Topics include: Madonna's tie-in song that took over the world, the disappointing A League of Their Own TV show, some disagreements about the effectiveness of the film's final moments, Chris' problem with the fact that the focus is on Dottie when Kitt really should be the protagonist, deleted scenes that change some of the core character dynamics, and much much more! iTunes / Stitcher / RSS / Facebook / Twitter / Instagram About The Show
