POPULARITY
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. 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. It transitions well into a short segment on what it’s like to take your kids to the doctor. Or your husband to the doctor. Or the doctor to your husband. Then Caddy brings a couple Quick Hits to the table. They include a near-explosion at a Home Depot, the Return of (another) Beaver and a removed SNL guest. The section carries its own “Listeners Enter At Your Own Risk” label. Then it is Tuesday after all, which means the third segment is a game of Can’t Beat Jack. Taylor Garland from Cherokee County, Georgia calls in to play a match. Before she leaves, Taylor and Donna find common ground in their grumblings of Caddy and his Me-So-Phony condition. Call Caddy. He’s bored some days. 7704646024.
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. The show takes a turn and dives into the dichotomy or Scooter Braun, Scott Borchetta and Taylor Swift. Caddy and Donna discuss publishing contengencies, like when an artist is restricted from performing or obligated to produce a certain number of albums. Listen and watch for more on the topic in upcoming shows. “Whole Foods makes me shake. It’s not just a store, it’s a machine.” Caddy feels discriminated against when he goes into Whole Foods. Donna thinks it may be warranted. It all shakes out in the fourth segment of the show. PS - As a comfort item, Cadillac Jack brought home a bag of peppered beef jerky and an entire pineapple upside down cake. And some gingerbread popcorn. And brown butter cookies. The show rolls through some presidential trivia. (“Who could say no to petroleum jelly?”) If you didn’t have enough to be worked up about, stay tuned for the fourth segment of the show- laundry day. As Donna says, it’s compelling content but we really needed to talk about Caddy’s processes. It’s… worrisome. And leads to the question of “What are you freakishly good or bad at?” There’s a pound of Libby’s Pumpkin in the pantry. Is it for pie? Unfortunately not. It’s for a pretty bAnal reason. It has always been important to have the whole family under one roof. And it’s been that way for a long time. But that’s changing, as Wil is about to move away to Knoxville. The show ends on a more serious, down to earth tone as Caddy and Donna share their initial reaction to the change. Donna feels like she and Wil are ready, she’s excited for the next chapter. Caddy is having a harder time with it. Sometimes it’s just nice to have everyone at dinner.
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 podcast. The one time it does come up today is when Donna pitches her theory that Melania Trump has a body double. “I’m not going there.” A few bits of big news in the life of Cadillac Jack. The McRib is back. Parents are moving away from testing. Power tools (including coffee makers) are over rated. Then hear a snippet from the Mark Wills interview and get a bit of the perspective of a singer-songwriter in 2020.
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 show is excited to have Mark WIlls on next week to talk about what these past months have been like from the perspective of an artist. Mark and the Jacks go way back, all the way to The Buckboard days when Mark was the lead singer of “The Buckboard Bandits.” Cadillac Jack talks about some of the questions he is looking forward to asking. It should be a very real, insightful and down to earth conversation that you won’t hear anywhere else. Would you live in a van down by the river right now? Just ask Chris Farley in his classic SNL skit. Caddy and 52% of Americans say they’d be open to living in a van during the pandemic. Donna isn't so sure but after the first segment, she may come around. Caddy and Donna take the next segment to talk about the importance of voting. They have a few unique reasons that you haven’t been hearing- setting a good example for your kids. It’s sending a message of what’s important- regardless of who gets the vote. Caddy gets stood up in the third segment and Officer Phil Ritchey will have to pay for it.
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 important for songs to have an intro. Here’s a hint: without an intro it’s impossible for radio to sell the song or sell the artist. How do you organize your memes? Where do you get them? How do you use them? Those are the gripping questions that steal the second segment of the show. They might even lead into a new Appy segment next week. Then it’s time for round 6 and to see if the great Ben Burnett can beat Jack. Ben calls in to the show to play a quick round of Can’t Beat Jack and talk shop with the Choates. Skip forward to about 19 minutes in to hear the game but hold onto your hats- at least one contestant runs the board. Don't forget to give Hemp Farmacy - Alpharetta a like on Facebook to win a Halloween gift basket. Then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.
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 being very useful. With a few exceptions, Caddy has been blessed to have high quality coaches and program directors. Donna and Caddy spend a few minutes covering what that productive management looks like and how it can help. The Bachelor is back. Caddy and Donna talk about the franchise, but not in the way you’d expect. The Bachelorette recently enforced its contract, forcing a contestant to pay up for “making disparaging comments.” It makes history and Set your own goals with Donna’s Appy of the Week. It brings you into a supportive community and uses that platform to help build you up. It’s the best segment of the week. Then to round out the show, Caddy and Donna run through a few heart-warming updates in the Atlanta area. Do Caddy a favor and like Hemp Farmacy Alpharetta’s Facebook page. You could win a gift basket from one of Second Act’s longtime supporters. Then, text Caddy about it. 7704646024.
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. It transitions well into a short segment on what it’s like to take your kids to the doctor. Or your husband to the doctor. Or the doctor to your husband. Then Caddy brings a couple Quick Hits to the table. They include a near-explosion at a Home Depot, the Return of (another) Beaver and a removed SNL guest. The section carries its own “Listeners Enter At Your Own Risk” label. Then it is Tuesday after all, which means the third segment is a game of Can’t Beat Jack. Taylor Garland from Cherokee County, Georgia calls in to play a match. Before she leaves, Taylor and Donna find common ground in their grumblings of Caddy and his Me-So-Phony condition. Call Caddy. He’s bored some days. 7704646024.
Christy and Richard Roth join Cadillac Jack in the studio for this bonus episode of My Second Act. The three of them chat about CBD as the Roths answer questions from listeners. You'll hear about the difference between products, what they can treat and why it's so important to buy CBD from folks you trust. Go Like the Hemp Farmacy and win a Halloween gift basket at the end of the month. Questions? Give them a call at 770-676-0853.
Eddie Van Halen passed away. Caddy and Donna speak about the history of Van Halen and some of their own memories surrounding the group. Donna collected, saved and then camped out in a Ford Expedition to see Van Halen. That last one actually resulted in a short-fused relationship. Then Donna and Caddy talk about Nathan Apodaca, a father from Wyoming whose love of Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice has paid off. It’s a light, heartwarming story that’ll give you a smile and boost Fleetwood Mac’s streaming numbers. The show was right- Saturday Night Live was pretty dang good this past weekend. Donna and Caddy cover a couple of the highlights before turning to this weekend’s SNL, which be hosted by Bill Burr with musical guest Morgan Wallen. On a similar note, some news has been released about this year’s Country Music Awards. You’ll hear a quick host recap from Caddy and Donna, plus a disclaimer from Dolly Parton. Reba McEntire Trump, Suburbans and PPE. Caddy wants to know- who signed off on this? It’s sort of like how Kenny Chesney used to be moved around concert venues hidden in a road case. Did that happen here? Where are the emails? Where are the road cases?
On this Second Act you’ll get a few potty jokes and one quick game of Can’t Beat Jack. Have you ever had to make a call from inside the restroom? Well, you’re not alone. 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 article that has everyone worried. Apparently the average parent is no better at math or science than a 6th grader. On a serious note, the reason it makes it onto the show is because of the increased pressure and stakes that grade school students are experiencing. When traditionally there has been movement as kids graduate from year to year, now folks may be less-inclined to focus on school. Grades, motivation and future inspiration seem like they’re taking a dip. Betsie Richards comes on the show to play a game of You Can’t Beat Jack. The category is “people who are -gists.” All ties go to Cadillac Jack and we foresee that becoming a problem. Call Caddy at 7704646024 or tweet @ATLCadillac and tell him what you think. Just don't do it from Benihana.
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.
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 hits: some NYC policies regarding certain public actions and a new Michael Jackson “souvenir” for sale. After those two sound bites, Caddy and Donna cover a few bits of Entertainment/Music news. Then it’s finally time for a new round of Can’t Beat Jack. Holly Bagby calls in to play live for the first. She is used to playing from the road, but this is her first time live on the show. It’s an “abbreviated” edition- you’ll hear why. After the game, Donna and Caddy cover some fresh statistics from Pollstar. Let’s just say, we’re all about to see a whole new kind of live event. The show rounds off as it always does with a pod peep or two. Be one. Text 7704646024 or find Caddy @atlcadillac.
Donna is going grave robbing before the bodies are even warm. She’s headed into cubicles looking for keyboards, pens and left behind medicine balls. It’s Alicia Keys’ street week. If you’ve been keeping up with this semi-music podcast, you’ll know that means Alicia has an album coming out. It’s also the first street week we’ve seen since the pandemic (or whatever you’d like to call it) interrupt the norm. It is the first time Caddy and Donna see an answer to their question: will the entertainment industry ever look the same? Then Donna takes a trip back to Ridgemont High and gives Caddy a tour of what he has missed. Hear Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston replaying a scene and taking us all down memory lane. It’s a clip from a charity read by an actor who lives down the road from Caddy and Donna. Then the show gets slapped an Explicit rating after another trip, this one up Schitt’s Creek. The Jacks use some of their podcasting perks that Jimmy Kimmel, the Emmys and Joe Rogan don’t enjoy. The show gets its semi-politics podcast rating on the following segment, one that covers the recent passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It’s a solemn segment that is lightened with the fact that Donna loves a good fall video. And Mitch “The Turtle” McConnell obliges. To end the show, Caddy and Donna talk about the early stages of their relationship after a listener called in to ask about kindling. @atlcadillac. 7704646024. You know what to do.
Donna and Caddy are having some food fights. Donna thinks that Roscoe undervalues Boars Head. Caddy had to leave dinner the other night because of some particular taco shells. There is a lot of tossing and turning going on upstairs at the Jack house. On the following segment, Caddy talks through some of the possible reasons. Tug Cowart phones into the show to recap the Academy of Country Music Awards and play a round of You Can’t Beat Jack. That’s the new and totally original 20-second pop culture trivia contest here on My Second Act. Tune in to hear who wins and who ends up with a below-the-belt selfie. The show closes with a clip from Donna’s latest episode of Hustle. Listen and you’ll hear a piece of the performance from singer-songwriter Aidan Anderson.
As a treat we're releasing this bonus episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act early! Tune in for a quick recap of the 2020 ACM Awards.
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 blends perfectly into the best segment of My Second Act: Donna’s Appy. Hear about a new way to care and learn about your little green friends. Selfcare has become so much more important recently but it’s also been a lot more… awkward. Some things that were once relaxing, like “Caddy Time,” can feel labored. Still, there are moments that can be savored. Atlanta Braves’ Freddy (?) Freeman jumped on a jet to fly home and see his son’s first T-Ball practice. The middle segment turns sentimental as Caddy and Donna reflect on the relationship between parents and children. Lastly Carole Baskin and Chris Evans make their way back to the show for an Entertainment News segment. The bottom line is: how low would you go, and how long would you linger there? Come back Saturday morning for the ACM recap. Then text Caddy about it. Just remember, it’s not where you start, it’s where you end.
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 to participate is use a certain phrase in the Mickey D’s drive-thru. Caddy tried it for himself, sharing both his experience and wait time. The ACM Awards are coming up. There will be a bonus show covering the results, but first Donna and Caddy run through a couple previews. Luke Combs, Taylor Swift and Eric Church are all ones to watch. The debates are coming up, too, and some of the plans bode well for the podcast industry. The 2020 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is cancelled. Tik Tok has been saved. Chris Evans’ pecker has seen the light of day. Donna and Caddy touch all three in today’s Entertainment News. Rolling out of the segment, the show covers a traditionally Southern method of paying respects before closing with a few minutes of Donna's least favorite game.
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 a lot of folks about their progress and wants to encourage others to take it on. One of the subjects Donna wants to pick up the 141 challenge is on the show today. That person is Cadillac Jack. Hear where he is on his own growth journey. Then Donna and Caddy hear a clip from Caddy Wagon that speaks to the question: Can you make a left on red? After Officer Ritchey gives his answer, Donna moves into the best segment of the month: Appy. The Appy is a great way to get discounts on medicine and other prescriptions. If you or someone in your family regularly goes to a pharmacy, make sure to listen in.
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 Jack nation. Before they play a live lightning round, Caddy and Donna introduce themselves to new listeners, providing some color for the ride they’re about to take. Familiarize yourself with backstories and the whole field of recurring characters, from Roscoe to Richard. Then, it’s time to play. Susan Clark chimes in to the show today to take on Caddy in a 20 second pop culture trivia game called You Can’t Beat Jack. It’s a completely original and never before done broadca- er, podcast segment where quick-fire answers are the way to win. Tune in, shout out and then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.
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. Caddy explains why and answers the popular question of who exactly can vote in the CMAs. The second segment of the show covers some music news for the State of Georgia and specifically, the City of Atlanta. It’s estimated that 20,000 music professionals live and work in the state. Based on the show’s semi-music designation from Apple, it’s unclear where Caddy and Donna fit in there. On the following segment, Caddy and Donna talk about the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman. He was an incredible actor whose diagnosis was kept under wraps from almost everyone. It’s a powerful example that those around you can be dealing with immense struggles. Caddy and Donna turn around the show with a quick game of Which Came First? It’s a trivia game that will be a warm up to thie upcoming round of You Don’t Know Jack. Here are some early vision The Empire State Building or Clint Eastwood? King King or Ping Pong? The newest season of Dancing With The Husband Killers is coming soon. The featured entrant? That’s right. It’s Carole Baskin. After that she is headed to Animal Crossing to put up campaign signs. Caddy explains the nuances of the situation and why it has to do with the lack of Joe Biden boat parades. Donna and Cadillac Jack almost make it to the fifth segment without earning the show its “Explicit” tag. This one comes from the discussion of OnlyFans. Donna thinks that it promotes the concept of directly paying creators for their content. She says it will move away from “the naughty bits.” Caddy says he isn’t interested in any of that. Get your flushot at Publix. Pick up your $10 gift card. Then text Caddy about it. 7704646024.
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 upcoming holidays like Labor Day and Halloween. After that, Donna tells Caddy about the time she was encouraged to steal Clarence Clemons’ hip replacement card. Spoiler Alert: she returned it to him. The show fulfills the music portion of its Semi-Music Podcast classification by covering some upcoming songs. The first ones are upcoming classic Christmas songs covered by a few Country artists. Donna and Caddy are not fans. There’s a hunch that Tug Cowart isn’t either. Then Donna talks about a new project from Chris Stapleton that features some folks from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Caddy went on a Daddy / Daughter field trip this week. It was a little unconventional- the two went to the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office and Morgue. He shares the experience on the middle segment of today’s show. Statesboro. Bullet County. It’s a new target for the White House. Caddy and Donna tackle the situation on the third major segment. Hear their thoughts on the school, the parents and the nation. It leads right into a discussion on some changes in national testing for schools and prep courses in the college application process. Check out Caddy Wagon and Hustle, both podcasts are out now. When you’re done, tell us what you think. Find Caddy on Twitter @atlcadillac or text 770-464-6024.
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 the Academy of Country Music Awards in just a few weeks. Caddy has seen a few beavers over the years and is surprised that they do not all look alike. Donna explains why. Caddy thinks. It sounds like a new game… All it took was a trash bag, a pair of cooking tongs and two and half minutes for Caddy to get rid of his opossum. Donna and the Ring got the whole thing on tape. Speaking of which, Donna wants to know what’s going on with Caddy’s tools. As Caddy recently said himself, “Tug you’ve known me for 20 years. Do you think I own a shovel?” Listen to minute 16 to hear why a bike rider had to stop and remove their helmet when behind Caddy’s truck. What are the 10 things around the house every one should know how to do? Donna brought a list. So did Caddy. How do you stack up? Donna’s Appy/Appie of the Week makes a big splash. Here’s a hint - it is not about your local recreation pool availability. Caddy is a BIG fan and gets upset that he didn’t know about it in March. Don’t worry Caddy- you’ll be swimming in no time. There’s a new segment at the end of the show where Caddy goes through a couple Quick Hits. From PSLs and KFC to Sweet Treats and TLC. Plus, another bounced check.
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 they rank in Outlaw Country. Then Dynamite lands on the Hype Song Playlist, as BTS launches their first entirely-english song. Continuing their Semi-Music podcast theme, Caddy and Donna go over the New Artist winners from the Academy of Country Music. Caddy has some news about Netflix that comes with a confession. The intro brings a new segment to the show called “Maria or not?” Wait, no, it’s “Hear and Tell.” After the game, Caddy and Donna move on to some of the unexpected impacts of these new masks. From social implications at school to environmental concerns that sound awfully familiar. Before the show ends, Donna talks about the changes she wants to make in the bedroom. Caddy likes the idea so much, he said he’d sleep in it. Billy Oliver intro’d the show. He was Donna’s across-the-street neighbor growing up. She has a lot of fond memories of the neighborhood crew playing softball, baseball and going to the Oliver’s house to watch Evel Knievel. Nowadays Billy is married and has a son who is training to be an advanced EMT. Billy just got his 25-year company pin, though we hope his 26th year is better than Caddy’s! He is so positive and encouraging and we are so glad for his support. Check out Caddy Wagon and Hustle, both podcasts are out now. When you’re done, tell us what you think. 770-464-6024.
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 and Breland. (Seriously, don’t touch his truck.) Donna and Caddy reflect on past celebrations as well as some ideal ones. Asking for a friend- has anyone heard from David Hester? Caddy went out and got cards. Because he has been listening to the podcast and paying attention, each gift has an animal theme. Donna has been flooded by videos, stories and calls from listeners sharing their own reactions to the last show. On a related note Joe Exotic has been trending on Twitter. Caddy explains why and that it has to do with Susan B. Anthony. The middle segment today covers an article titled “Man punches great white shark to save wife: ‘You just react’” Donna wants to know if Caddy would do the same. Caddy thinks he would look like a seal, so he’d already be in hot water. But to answer the question, “I would quickly swim to shore.” Joe Biden is officially the Democratic nominee. The Republican National Committee will be next week. Caddy and Donna cover both, including Bernie’s effort to livestream. The show rounds up with a flood of pod peeps, a bit about Caddy’s bread factory experiences and some clarification from Donna about how to plan children. Or, how to try and plan children. Silver Fox had the show’s intro. Ray is the patriarch of Appen Media. He landed in Atlanta after a stint in Chile (yes, that Chile) working the shipping industry and then years at the Miami Herald, where he met Christina. He’s also a bit of a renaissance man who recently thru-hiked the AT and writes a regular column. Don’t forget to subscribe to Caddy Wagon with Ritchey and Raider if you haven’t already. When you’re finished, text Caddy about it. 7704646024.
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 Country music’s hottest new artist with a song that ended up in the Top 10 within 24 hours of release. Then Donna talks about why she thinks Caddy is not as invested and interested as he once was. According to Caddy, he just doesn’t like animal videos. Who has been to more health centers? Caddy went a lot because they have free… candy. Donna has been back when she had… strep. They cover some of the COVID-19 considerations that the University of Georgia’s Health Center may have released to students. Some of the recommendations are inappropriate for the show to broadcast. Just, consider wearing a mask. Little Hyde loved sugar. So much so that reminiscing caused Caddy to pull a U-Turn and head up Post Road. As Donna says, if you’re not from Atlanta, “that’s out in the middle of nowhere.” It causes Dona and Caddy to jump segments and talk about the newly re-discovered Nature Valley and Sunbeam stores. Caddy took so many laps that he had to get a cart. Rolls. Buns. 4 for $5. Turns out his food pyramid is made up of sugar, cinnamon and high fructose corn syrup. The segment caps with a reminder of just how connected memories are to food. Have your kids been all up in your business? Donna thinks yes- and she literally means her business. “Like a whole new gang of coworkers.” Nowadays everyone has to get creative about how they create alone time. At the end of the day, the kids really are the heroes. That’s one reason Charlotte was a red-plater this week. Don’t miss the Caddy Wagon with Ritchey and Raider, the newest podcast from Cadillac Jack. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. When you’re done, text Caddy. 7704646024.
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 announced. At least one of them is wildly overdue- Hank Williams Jr. That’s why the first segment touches on “Old Habits.” Speaking of past due, Phil Collins has reappeared on the iTunes Top 10. Caddy explains why. PS - who has 6 hours to learn a dance? Caddy only has 6 hours to watch them. Donna wants to know more about how artists are handling press while being at home so much. It’s a bit hard to hear because Caddy has to open and eat his edible. It’s a long story… Still, some country artists have to work through changes in their home lives. For the technically challenged, it’s a bit harder to set up these online interviews and shows. On the upside, artists can be a bit more comfortable in their own homes. That is, unless they’d rather be out in the wild. Donna mentions at least one artist who would. Luke Bryan, for instance, says that he’s never had more time to go fishing. “I’m 21 and I’ve never been kissed.” That’s the intro to the next segment. Caddy and Donna discuss six people and the big life experiences that they HAVEN’T had. Naturally that leads into a good ol’ game of Never Have I Ever. As Caddy says, the questions “start pedestrian” before “getting dirty.” On the third and final segment of the show, Donna and Caddy talk about the Atlanta Braves. As one of the few sports organizations owned by a publicly-traded company, looking at the team gives a peek behind the door of national athletics. The Braves saw a 95% drop in revenue for Q2. No players are receiving more than 37% of their contracted salaries. Wendys locations are closing. Donna points out that we’re just now starting to see the “large, long term” effects on national scale. Caddy gives his prediction for what the next few months will bring. We’re long on podcasts.
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.
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 and how some of the venues have shifted. Believe it or not there are a few silver linings. Do you have Chris Stapleton fatigue? Are you or someone that you love experiencing heartache after listening to today’s country lyrics? Let us know. It happens to everyone and you may be entitled to a $0 settlement. It took Chris 13 years to write Traveller, so, it’s possible that even Chris Stapleton has Chris Stapleton fatigue. Also on the grill today is Luke Combs. Incredible songwriter with a wicked sense of humor and a deceptively thick beard. Plus a few different lingos covered on the show: stitch, skinned cats and high-backed Adirondacks. Caddy can’t play Eric Church. Eric Church (maybe) can’t spell. Donna can’t sing like Aretha. It’s been a frustrating week for the Choates. Caddy likes to be in control. More than once, that became an issue back in the morning show days. Caddy takes a deep dive into some of the practices of Radio and arguments that he would have about taping interviews. It all comes down to what Caddy calls “the Oprah effect.” At the end of the day the verdict comes in that radio is fun and entertaining, but it also has to play by a different set of rules. What flies for TV broadcasters and legacy news organizations doesn’t always get off the ground for radio. On an unrelated note (promise) Caddy jumps in to the old days with Tug, George Straight and the great “Guess Your Wife’s Weight to Win” bit. Let’s just say that Darius Rucker did not participate. The show caps with a dangerous question- do you have a child? Let’s rephrase. Which child is your favorite? Caddy and Donna skate on thin ice for the latest segment. Warning: Caddy’s answer will not surprise anyone. Save a horse, text Caddy. 7704646024.
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 John Jarrard Foundation with Bruce Birch, working with amazing songwriters and giving money to a lot of North Georgia charities. He’s so much fun, a very hard worker and we’re so glad to have his intro today! Donna is not getting a Peloton. Instead, she is staring at trainers and buying (more) kitty litter. Garth Brooks called a press conference this week with country (and general) media across the country. He has announced that he is stepping away from a few Country highlights. On an unrelated note, he’s also opening a new bar. The question is: will Caddy also be removing himself from the ballot for Country’s Entertainer of the Year? Donna talks about how the award is really for those who are pushing Country music forward. The real Country vanguard. So, the jury is still out for Caddy. Donna has always wanted a water feature as part of the Choate household. Caddy has been making some calls and it looks like her wish is going to come true. Sorta. That conversation follows an update on the sprinkle debacle we heard about last show. The show takes a serious note as Caddy and Donna continue their reflection on the passing of Rep. John Lewis. It is clear that those who have stories to tell about the social justice icon have only beautiful stories to tell. The most lucrative deal in sports just came through. Let’s just say that Donna is about to be a Kansas City fan. Caddy has never seen Donna hold a set of clubs. Donna tells Caddy she’s looking at the pro circuit. Where’s the disconnect here? Call the show and let us know. Subscribe to the new shows Hustle and Caddy Wagon so you don’t miss a thing. When you’re done, text caddy about it. 7704646024.
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 Donna are a bit traumatized from the recent surgery but not in the ways you’d expect. A lot of the early show is dedicated to Keith Urban and his new project. It’s coming out mid-September as a delayed release, just as so much music has been these past few months. Keith is framing it as a good thing; he’s been able to add a few new songs. Caddy and Donna are not so sure. Keith is one of those people who does not shy away from his challenges. Caddy and Donna have interacted with him a few different times over the years, noticing changes every time. The show covers some of the traits of addiction, meditation and openness. Caddy shares a couple stories with Keith, including one segment about Things You Don’t Know About Your Spouse. Has a guidance counselor ever broken your trust? #FakeHomeSchoolFacts has been trending on Twitter and the show has some stories from it. Turns out scheduling is not the only worry coming from this year’s school year. Can you imagine the school supplies lists? How do you play a clarinet without reeds? (Actually, just ask Will about that one…) How many attorneys appear unprofessionally on Zoom court appearances? According to one Florida circuit judge, that answer is “a lot.” We understand the “business on the top, party on the bottom” approach, but apparently some lawyers need to be reminded to wear a shirt at all. That example seems excessive, but Donna does thinks that there is just a general sloppiness and pegs the reason as everyone “living casually.” Everyone seems to be a fan, though, except the employers. Caddy and Donna have some very exciting news. They intro them on today’s show but here's a hint: new shows.
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, it really has been hot and humid. And because heat rises, there have been some A/C fights in the Choate house. What’s the policy when you’re a visitor in someone’s house? Open season or hands off? How many adds were there in country radio last week? Which songs? Caddy and Donna discuss as they work through some of the recently reported charts. Eventually the conversation leads to the topic of love triangles within country music. And love triangles in life. Sorry, I mean “entanglements.” You are quarantined with the first artist you saw in concert. Who is it? Caddy and Donna give their answers and cover what those situations would look like. It’s going to be a long quarantine for Caddy, based on his first artist. Donna is looking forward to hers. Time to get tantric. Turns out courthouse hopping is not as fun when you’re on the docket. Caddy learned that when he had to show up in the Milton Municipal Courthouse. He also has another scheduled appearance down in Rabun County. Let’s just hope that none of the show listeners work for Rabun County. Or are solicitors for the City of Milton. The verdict is in for Georgia’s High School sports. There are still a lot of questions about the situation, like if spectators will be allowed to attend or if there will be fight songs from the band. There are also a whole bunch of opinions that go with it.
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 announcement. Actually, one of a few big announcements headed Caddy’s way. Contrary to what she said last week, Donna has learned a few things over the course of her house arrest. Speaking of learning, a big part of the show today focuses on local schools and the decisions surrounding Fall classes. From football players to band members to bus drivers to parents, everyone will be affected by those choices in the next few weeks. With some of the news this week it has felt like all of the air has been let out of the room. Donna and Caddy don’t know what the answers are. Still, it’s important to talk and acknowledge it. There are a lot of emotions roaming around and it’s important to address them. Donna’s Appy this week is like Tik Tok in the sense that you can spend hours on it. Except this app could be used to find birthday presents and involves Carole Baskin, Ice Cube and Caitlyn Jenner. It leads Caddy and Donna into a conversation about paid appearances and their approaches on how to act at them. Some radio personalities will sit under their tent and wait for fans to approach. Others will call out on the show for listeners to “come and meet me at the Papa Johns in Marietta.” Caddy has a different style. Donna has all the answers. Whether it’s interacting with the clients or the talent, she gives Caddy a few tips from her prospective. Donna thinks it’s funny to blow an air horn behind a heart attack survivor. Then she gives Caddy a quick beaver update. It’s not even in the top three for worst things done on today’s show.
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 show explains where Caddy is headed and why Roscoe was the first to know. The kicker, though, is how Donna wants to leverage it into her first TikTok milly and an energy drink sponsor. Is it true that Gregg Alman broke into Capricorn studies to record a song? Donna says yes and that it’s her hype song today. Then Caddy uses his hype song to reflect on CMA Fest, Fan Fair and his birthday(s) in Nashville. Caddy and Donna break into what makes country music so special (spoiler: it’s the artists), using the example of when Garth Brooks came off of his world tour, showed up at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds (at 10am on a Tuesday) and signed autographs for 23 hours. Did you know that Caddy once hosted a successful morning show on an Atlanta radio station? He shares some stories from his time on the air, including when K****** walked in (late) for a 30-artist show with one shoe on. As Donna says, “that’s how you know you had a good night.” Caddy and Donna then move in to cover Jada Pinkett Smith’s “entanglement.” The discussion runs for a while before smoothly transitioning into why Donna can’t stand words like “entanglement.” Or “conscious uncoupling.” Who names their child Apple anyways? “Out of an abundance of caution,” just tell Donna that Hamilton is cancelled. Back when Caddy and Donna were printing money (literally, they had a money printer) they had a weekend at the Four Seasons. Things got a little hairy when they were invited up to “see another couple’s condo” and found themselves in a couple of robes. Caddy and Donna want to set the record straight: are they easy marks?

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 the Sun and the royals. Caddy and Donna open the show by breaking down why that is. On the other hand, Donna does love a good British-American group, which is why the second segment of the show is dedicated to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. We’re halfway through the year if you can believe it. Caddy and Donna mark the occasion by working through the top albums, songs and artists for the year. There is only one country artist on the top physical albums of the year. That’s “go to Walmart and buy a CD” physical albums. Any guesses? You can not NOT tell Donna Choate the truth and have her not find out. Caddy knows that and still tried to pull a fast one. Before he could pull around to the back of the Arby’s, a white Audi came up behind him. One Q-Tip later and Caddy was on his way home. Donna has been getting a lot of questions of what it was like for Caddy to get tested. Caddy talks through the process and describes his experience as a patient. Donna thinks that we are all “coming out worse than went we went in.” She’s also upset that she hasn’t learned American Sign Language or how to make a soufflé. Instead of doing a traditional yard sale, consider the Yard Sale 2.0. Caddy and Donna cover the best new way to get rid of unwanted household items. As folks spend so much time at home they’re learning things about their spouses and family members. Caddy and Donna talk about all the ways they find that to be a silver lining. And “it’s not because we think Bernie Sanders is a cute little old man.”
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, Caddy has been spending a lot of time building and assembling. It’s possible that the trend will never end. Charlie Daniels passed away this week. Caddy and Donna spend a lot of time on the show sharing their thoughts and stories about Mr. Daniels. All in all, we’re hoping that he and Kenny Rogers are putting together a great band up there right now. Hamilton came out on Disney+. Does it hold up to the hype? Maybe. After discussing the streaming version, Donna gives a peek behind the scenes of Atlanta performing arts and touring shows in general. Hopefully out of all of this will come some incredible show writing. It seems like there were no July 4th celebrations. Anywhere. Caddy didn’t even hear a piccolo. Caddy and Donna were still able to enjoy some fireworks, just not the traditional kind. It’s important for couples to learn how to be a couple. Hear about how to reinforce those lessons and what to do if (and when) you come across some cracks. Universities around the country are deciding how they’re going to reopen. Caddy and Donna cover a great way to fill those apartments and dorms without breaking the bank. This week’s Appy segment finishes out the show, with Donna sharing her toolkit for starting the day. When you first use this week’s Appy, it’s going to feel weird and frustrating. Like anything, the app takes time. If you stick with it, you’ll be glad you did.
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 since. What were the “rich kid” identifiers during your childhood? For Caddy and Donna it was having a pool, microwave or shag carpets. Today it could be Lunchables. Just be careful of the radiation. During the pandemic, is it realistically possible to have a job and a child? Donna (and a lot of other people) feel like the answer has been a firm “no.” Navigating the workload of both seems impossible. At the very least, it’s a lot to handle right now and there isn’t a great answer to the problem. Walmart has decided they’re getting into the Drive-In business with Robert De Niro. Expect a three month run of open parking lots with snacks, attendants and car-delivered food. Caddy and Donna discuss the recurring theme of the Concerts may never be the same. Namely, it’s possible that they won’t have General Admission pits anymore. Caddy and Donna discuss possible changes and what it would mean for the music industry. There were some special pod peeps this week. Life is not perfect for anyone, including Caddy and Donna, and community is just so important right now. Call or text the show at 770-464-6024. Can't wait to hear from you.
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 With The Wind 3 times. Donna’s recommendation for how to navigate medical offices is a bit surprising. Adele lost a husband and then lost weight. Caddy and Donna discuss her transformation, upcoming music and misplaced jealousy. Serious question: have you ever heard of Stroker Ace? It was filmed in ’83 and is significantly cleaner than it sounds. Luke Bryan is about to go to the top of the charts with One Margarita. Caddy and Donna work through the rest of this week’s top-selling songs, which include Savage and Black Parade. On the other end of the charts, Karen and Ken take up a lot of today’s show. You’ve seen them on social media and McMansions all over America this week. Caddy and Donna cover their actions, characterizing one scene as “Ozark meets Saturday Night Live.” Dale and Patricia are guest hosts on today’s show. They stopped into the studio on their way to grab some pecans and couldn’t resist saying hello. Tune in as they cover Chase Rice, Instacart and Beauregard Lee. Don’t forget! There will be a Starbucks code on The Letter this week. Text LEFTONRED to 22828 and grab a coffee on the show. Follow Caddy on Twitter @atlcaddilac
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. Don’t worry- all the athletes use them. The music world has seen a few shifts back towards normalcy. Luke Bryan has begun rescheduling concert dates, Eric Church is no longer scared of life and Country Radio has been playing Scotty on repeat. Plus, Caddy still finds corn, whiskey and tractors to be “pedestrian.” Caddy and Donna were able to go see Nana and Mr. Al. Their perspective is always a breath of fresh air. The conversations had a wide variety of topics, though it seems like recovery from this situation may not be as quick as expected. Nana and Mr. Al are excited that the Braves are back, though, so some things never change. As Mr. Al says, “the cream always rises to the top.” Caddy and Donna have a butterfly bush at the bottom of their driveway, right next to the egg frying station. Wait, what? Donna thinks Caddy should be TieDying more. Caddy thinks Donna needs to make the turn. They both agree that it’s a direct shot from other parents if your child comes home with Moon Sand. Call 7704646024. Can’t wait to hear from you.
Kaitlyn Henderson intro’d the show today. Kaitlyn was an intern on the morning show back in the days with Dallas and Tug. Then she went higher and higher on the ladder and was so good at her job that Kaitlyn eventually was “poached.” Nowadays she is with 680 The Fan, about to get married and remains one of the kindest people Caddy and Donna know. Chickfila is rolling out some changes. For Donna? Travesty. Caddy? Sweet relief. There’s a busy period in the Choate household. And that time is June. In order to handle it, sometimes you have to take an assembly line approach to parenting. Other times you have to do the best you can and then get out of the way. Caddy and Donna take a deep dive into parenting and step-parenting. They cover where they went wrong and talk about all the things they did right. There really is no instruction manuel for “How to Raise Kids.” Then big news from LiveNation: (drive-in) concerts are here. You can even get out of your car. All that and a lot more on today’s show. Follow Caddy on Twitter @atlcaddilac
Melissa Gibson intro'd this episode of the podcast. She and her (high school sweetheart) husband live in Milton. They ALSO ran over THEIR dog in the driveway. Melissa took pictures of families on their front steps during the COVID-19 shutdown as a way to support Meals By Grace. $9,000 in ten days. She has had an amazing Second Act and we're so glad to have her intro Caddy and Donna's. Donna had a suspicious night out and ended up stroking a beaver with a stick. You read that right. On this True Crime episode of My Second Act, there’s a break in the case of Missing Uncle Poppy. Donna’s “Let get Appy” segment leads to a long discussion about tools and tricks of the tracking trade. Caddy talks about the summer when his house was the set of Beach House. One Saturday night word got out. Cars in the backyard, 15 year olds jumping out the bathroom window (they came back the next day to fix the toilet seat). What happened when Mom showed up? Donna and Caddy talk about wake times, “sleep divorce” and what early hours look like for a morning show host. Then... Caddy's shirt gets too tight.
Thank you Chief Robison for giving us today’s intro. Chief is over the entire police, fire and emergency services for the City of Alpharetta. He has always been so accessible to the community and on behalf of the entire city we want to thank him for all he is doing right now. Roscoe is back and he brought some friends. Well, one friend. One that has been missing for about a year. What do you NOT have to worry about at Kenny Chesney concert? A lot of things, actually. We’re talking Hoity-Toity Wedding-type amenities. Caddy and Donna give a quick update to the Garth Brooks drive-in tour. Let’s just say that it won’t be the first time Tiger, Georgia is put on the map. The next segment covers the prediction that the pandemic will be good for songwriters across America. Caddy scrolled through Taylor Swift’s twitter feed for an hour to cover his bases. Is she really “woke?” We get an update on the Lady A(ntebellum) name change. Turns out Scooter may have forgotten to do a quick search on Spotify. Caddy is obsessed with Salt and Pepper. He has some great news- they’re back. But all in all, is it possible that COVID-19 is causing a widespread illness of bad customer service? The verdict is in. Hear about why, and how it has led Caddy to walk around with constant sense of anxiety.
Matt Hoffberg has the intro on today’s show. He started out as an intern years ago until Caddy had him hired. Mattie ended up running the morning show as Executive Producer. Now he’s about to be EP of a new show- his marriage. Thanks Matt- we are so proud of you! Sorry about the Brantley Gilbert thing. Donna starts us off with a status check of her Balloon Balls. Then she goes right into the time she almost started a riot at an Ariana Grande concert. There is always a reason why certain artists are touring or performing together. It’s never a coincidence. Caddy and Donna talk about some things that can land two people together… or keep them apart. Lady Antebellum is no longer Lady Antebellum because “they’ve had their eyes opened.” What do we think? Cadillac goes through some of the responses he was sent. Garth Brooks wants to drive into your backyard. No, really. Caddy and Donna give the rundown on his new “show” and then talk about when Garth Beat Caddy. It explains why Garth is the “Modern Day P.T. Barnum.” Donna doesn’t have the best luck and talks about a few times that has been a problem. Two of them were at funerals. Caddy gives his own funeral story except it doesn’t involve a funeral at all. Huge award to Tracy and the whole team. She’s now officially Top Producer (though we already knew that). Rounding us out is the best part of the week- time to Get Appy! Donna brings her pick to the table and Rounds Up. Don’t forget- Text us your Cabbage Patch dolls. 7704646024.
Thank you to our good friend Jay Grover for introducing the show. We go way back and appreciate you! On the show today Caddy and Donna talk about some changes in their lives with the coronavirus outbreak. Take some bike rides and get outside! Tune out some of that negative news all – you’ll feel better. For those who didn’t know, Caddy is a proud member of the Western Carolina Zeta Omicron Scholarship Committee. Recently the schools alumni magazine featured a picture of the two female dorms. Well…Caddy has some stories. So did Donna. Also, the Clermont Lounge has CLOSED until we get through the coronavirus scare. Pop peeps and more on today’s episode! Cadillac Jack. New show, same ride. Enjoy!

Thank you to one of our biggest fans of the pod Nathan Roberts for introducing today’s show! And we’ll get that wrestling match with Donna set up real soon. Today’s show was all about, what else? Coronavirus. These are scary times, no doubt. But we’ve also seen some really inspirational messaging to help lift our spirits.
