Apple classifies My Second Act as a semi-music podcast. That designation is earned on today’s show, which covers Morgan Wallen, Sam Hunt, Old Dominion and a lot more.

The episode starts off with Morgan Wallen’s return to SNL. It’s a broadcast segment but music is reinforced with the news that Bob Dylyn has sold his entire catalog. One more time: Bob Dylan is selling his entire catalog of music. Donna and Caddy talk about the deal and its implications, along with its comparison with a similar move from Stevie Nicks.

After that Cadillac explains how he broke his rib. Donna follows it up with an explanation of whether or not he really did. Just one thing to say- “we’ll see you back in mid-February.”

The following segment covers some #gapol coverage, which has naturally become a national story. Caddy and Donna explain why Georgia’s Senate seats will have such an impact on the country. As someone who leans right, Caddy wanted to know why one participant wouldn’t show up. From the other side, Donna thinks that person may be a wimp.

Continuing the news, Caddy talks about the second race and offers a primer of its two candidates. Donna brings some great points to the table but none are more important than one particularly hairy suggestion.

The final segment is on a positive mental and emotional movement happening on TV and across the airwaves. Donna and Caddy are just happy to share.

Follow Caddy on Twitter and Instagram @atlcadillac and then text Donna. In that order. Or not. 7704646024.

It’s award season here at the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. We take a look back at “the first awards show to try and do it,” the Academy of Country Music awards. Then a brief pan over the Golden Globes, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Pohler who were socially distanced by 2,000 miles. Plus there was Jason Sudeikis, not that he knew where he was at the time. PS - Who even is the Hollywood Foreign Press? Then the night brings the Jodie Foster / Aaron Rodgers storyline full circle, with an explanation from Cadillac Jack.

Caddy manifests some serious mojo, just asking the world to smite him with some sort of illness. Donna takes the time to really drill in what it means to “manifest" something into reality.

The following segment is about OnlyFans. It’s not what you think. Combining avocados, ASMR and lemonade. Plus, a few other creators who provide more traditional “nekedness.”

Turns out Prince Harry did not tell the Queen. It’s Caddy’s understanding that anything goes in the tell-all interview he and Meghan Markle had with Oprah. You’ll hear two promos released by the Oprah camp that seem to confirm it. Caddy goes as far as classifying what kind of teases they are, from a production perspective.

For the final segment, Michael calls in. He lives in Chamblee and has been a listener for a long time, but most importantly he’s deep into the Jeep culture. Michael is able to give an inside perspective on the Jeep life and what’s going on with the Jeep wave. It’s an uplifting conversation, for the most part. The only downer is that Caddy has to get used to having a sore wrist. It’s a tough life here on My Second Act.

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.

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.

Thank you to David Chandley, the FOX 5 Storm Team's Chief Meteorologist, for the great intro to today's episode!

Somehow...someway...TikTok made its way back onto the show. Caddy talks about the #broomchallenge and his theory that the fix is in and maybe we shouldn’t be consuming our news via social media. Donna explains her obsession with loyalty cards and reward.

Thanks for all the feedback and questions you send us online! One piece of feedback we received after the last episode was some blowback Caddy got for his take on the coronavirus. He responds and then some.

We’ve also got some throwback stories to share about Reba McEntire, Caddy’s sister Julie (Ju-Gina) and much more!

This episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Act is so full of gold nuggets that we’re doing show notes a little differently. Here is a list of topics and quotes... can you tell which are which?

If there’s one goal for this show it’s to not have the Chrissly Knows Best sound guy hear the conversation.

LIVE from Gobbler’s Knob, it’s Cadillac Jack!

Just wanted to hop on and give y’all some friendly reminders.

By the third kid you really don’t have any questions. And if you do, you know not to ask them.

What’s not to love about us? For one, we’re humble.

Listen, Dolly Parton is smart. Smart and big-chested.

We’re all for encouraging podcasters. C’mon in. But you have to get your sound right.

The Super Bowl is this Sunday (that’s right- we can say it) and no one in Atlanta is getting either of the two largest in-market news stations.

Remember when we were blacked out from *** programming?

What six NFL teams do not have a city in their name?

What do YOU know about Tucson?

Caddy wore a camel-haired winter coat to bed last night

Just let me pump my gas and get on my way.

How to explain the past 12 months to the 19-year-old British kid that just woke up from a coma? God bless him.

365 days since Death Starts at $6.99

Who are you? We did what? We have how many kids?

Can you imagine fleet week without strippers and blow in Times Square?

Turns out Tony Soprano is not a loyal husband

Stop period it period

Donna wants to go to Bonnaroo, Burning Man or Talladega. Just hearing the ‘T’ word is triggering for Cadillac Jack. It brought back some frightening memories. Brown liquor and ashes at turn 1. Shutting down the state’s third largest city in the Fall of ‘99. It’s a shuddering trip down memory lane. Needless to say, we’ll see you at the Talladega Superspeedway in April.

Caddy moves on to the other side of the racecar counter by sharing a story from this weekend at the DMV. The attendant really wanted a piece of Caddy. (We see you, Window 8.) In the end, it all worked out. Charlotte even saved the day at J. Christopher’s.

Morgan Wallen just spent his 10th week at the top of the charts. It’s a huge deal, but not the biggest story out of Country music this week. The main headline is from Garth Brooks- Chris Gains is back. Confused? Join the party. Donna and Cadillac Jack shed some light on the alter ego who may have purchased 1.5 million copies of his own album. Plus, did you know that Matthew McConaughey starred as Walkaway Joe with Trisha Yearwood and Don Henley?

Before the show taps out, Donna and Cadillac Jack say a bit about the Atlanta story that has been on national news this week. It’s a somber tone about tragedies, family and the importance of doing the right thing. Lastly, you’ll hear a few Pod Peeps and their favorite two-handed-songs as a way to lighten the show. Let us know about your own two-handers and if you have advice from years at Talladega. What exactly is Donna in for? 7704646024.

You don’t have to be a fan of country music to listen to the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast. You can tune in to almost any episode and enjoy 45 minutes of twang-free banter. Today is not one of those shows.

Donna and Caddy take a deep dive into the Academy of Country Music Awards, covering this weekend’s ceremony and every twangy, juicy, spur-studded moment from it.

Having a podcast has been pretty liberating for Donna and Cadillac Jack. They’ve been able to talk about taboo material, share authentic opinions and bust the industry wide open. (Well, maybe not the last one. We do need some dinner guests.) Events like the ACMs allow these new freedoms to shine. Here’s a look at what’s covered in today’s episode of Cadillac Jack: My Second Bridge Burning:

  • Morgane Stapleton’s detour to deliver someone’s baby.
  • The (unintentionally) loudest performer of the weekend
  • Luke Combs and Kenny Chesney’s sunday school clothes
  • Eric Church the Silver Fox
  • Madison Reed (the hair dye, not the porn site)
  • Brooks & Dunn. “Hot hot hot hot hot.”
  • Dan + Shay. *yawn*
  • Amy Grant’s pajamas
  • Little Big Town
  • The week Caddy was stuck on an island with Terry Chapman

The show wraps by marking the anniversary of Caddy running over Roscoe and a look at his early days in radio. At 17 he was working seven to midnight at Country 93.9 in Myrtle Beach. He was making $11,000 a year but lived in a trade apartment and had free tires. We’ve come a long way, folks. Have a great week and call us if you see Morgan Wallen. 7704646024.

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 studio in silence today. He also had to take a second shower. To say it’s been a stressful morning would be an understatement.

The run of show was 22 pages long today. Still, Donna thinks there is a lot missing. So the middle section of today’s show is a shotgun round of what’s been in the news for music this week.

If you’re listening on upload date, it has been 8 days since Caddy’s teeth came out. That means it is time for the Teeth Discussion. Caddy gives his perspective from the past couple days. Donna follows it up with a quick realty check of how things have REALLY been.

It would be hard for anyone to say that they’re not struggling right now. Remember to check in with those around you and offer some support when you can. Caddy and Donna touch on the subject, addressing some recent headlines that are a bit concerning. At the same time, now is a great chance to extend a hand and show compassion.

Caddy has been spending a lot of time with Officer Ritchie of the Alpharetta Police Department in preparation of their new show “Caddy Wagon.” While going on the ride-alongs, he has noticed a rising trend of certain emergency calls. The end of the show touches on this new trend and some of the implications.

Lastly, Caddy gets some sympathy texts. Send him one. 7704646024.
