Summary
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?

| 0:31.5 | Welcome to my second act. |
| 0:32.8 | My name's Don and I'm Caddy's wife. |
| 0:34.9 | It is prom season. |
| 0:36.5 | Promes are back. |
| 0:39.6 | And I'm kind of excited that proms are back. Because these kids have had a whole year where there have been no dances. There have been no, I mean, extracurriculars |
| 0:44.9 | are limited, all this stuff, but proms are back. And so the store that I work in, as I've |
| 0:50.0 | told you before, if you recall from a previous pod, how when I measure people, I have a hard |
| 0:53.8 | time getting back up. I kind of have to roll over and double up and jump up. Well, now this first wave of tuxes that I've started measuring are coming back. And I've realized that when people go into the dressing room to try it on, most of these kids and their moms are waiting outside, I have like a special prayer that I shoot up to baby Jesus. What prayers are? Just please baby Jesus let this thing fix. Just let it fit. Did the kids understand how to put a tux on because I'm a 47 year old man? And I would struggle with that. It takes 40 minutes in the dressing room. And you think you're like what happened to them. But there's a lot of moving parts. There's a lot of components. A lot of levers, a lot of side things. You have to tighten vest. Each button has a, what do you call it? A little pearl. Yeah. Your cuff links. The jewelry, the whole nine yards. So I've done pretty good on the ones that I've shot out to the universe. But I've had a few that, hmm, and I've tried to convince those children that that's the look. You know what I mean? Like, as we talked about before, like the new look is like for your pants to kind of just break right on top of your shoe or maybe you show a little bit of your sock and you wear a funky sock. I had one kid, though, that the pants were up to his knee. And I'm like, I think you can pull it off. Like shorts. It's kind of. |
| 2:04.5 | John. I had one kid, though, that the pants were up to his knee. And I'm like, I think you can pull it off. Like shorts? Kind of. Joggers, maybe. Jod purrs. Okay. Maybe like a culot. A culot. Because see, what's happening now is I have three sections. I have people who need to pick up their tuxes. Tuxes that have issues, tuxes that have to be returned. |
| 2:19.1 | So I'm just like, oh, gosh. |
| 2:21.9 | What kind of timeline do you have? |
| 2:24.5 | Like, from the time the tux arrives at your store until the prom actually happens. |
| 2:29.9 | Some days a day. |
| 2:31.1 | So what happens if it comes back and they're high water? |
| 2:34.0 | They have to call it in and they bring it on a little van. They bring the new one. It's fascinating. Yeah. Has anyone brought a tuxedo back yet that had water stains or stains of any? No. I'm not looking over that stuff. No. It goes back into the bag and goes back. Okay. Okay. All right. Yeah. No. Do you want to talk about your proms in high school? I don't. Well, I will tell you the one prom that I went, one of the proms I went to, because I went to multiple proms. I can imagine. Yeah. One prom that I went to, I went with my prom date, Larry Stevens, who had invited me, who was an upperclassman. I think he was like a junior and I was maybe even been a freshman. But so I went with him and I liked Larry, but he was just kind of like boring, you know. He's like very like smart and just, I don't know. And so I kept saying to him like, what, what are we doing after the prom? after the prom. What are we doing? And he's like, whoa, I didn't really have any plans don't know. And so I kept saying him like, what are we doing after the prom? |
| 3:24.8 | After the prom? |
| 3:25.7 | What are we doing? |
| 3:26.3 | And he's like, well, I didn't really have any plans. |
