Summary
It's a late night with Caddy and Donna here on the Cadillac Jac: My Second Act podcast.
Some folks want to know why we act the way we do. Well, ee have a whole laundry list of answers to the question. We also don't want to wake up and hear the garbage trucks pulling up knowing that the bin is sitting as the top of the driveway. So how about you just take the trash out while you listen (or record) this show.
Are you a reactor? Or a generator? Or are you just a narcissist? Caddy offers an answer. Donna offers a suggestion.
Then we're talking 50-yard-line at the Georgia/Oregon game at Mercedes-Benz this weekend. But there's a catch. We fill you in and want to know… would you still go?
Near the end we look for, find and dispose of "that drug thing." Listen closely and hang on.
To take us almost home, Caddy shares the story of his very first microphone and who he gave it to. It's a heartfelt story, and it ends with a tattoo. Talk about checking all the boxes.
What can we do to be a better partner for you? Text this number once a week and let us know. 7704646024.

| 1:21.9 | and she's amazing but one of her techniques and this is not what I'm going to talk about, but this just kind of tells where we're going here, is to talk about, like, when you don't want to get out of bed, you have to launch yourself out of bed. And I told you I was doing this the other day, because now that I don't have to do carpal in the morning, I have a really, really hard time getting out of bed. I really do. And I think...

| 1:57.5 | out of bed, you slither out of bed onto the floor and then slowly roll yourself up and get up. Just whatever you have to do to literally launch yourself out of bed.
