Hi, my name is Charlotte Chod, and I'm the youngest of the three Cho kids. You know my dad is the greatest country radio personality ever, but to me, he's that guy who's always number one in Carpull to come and pick me up. My mom lets me crank my music at volume 100 all day, every day, and always sings along with me. I'm super proud of my parents and all that they've achieved this year. They've taught us to never give up and always believe you can come back from anything. Here's my mom and dad their second act.

My name is Cadillac Jack. I joined Atlanta Radio when I was 19 years old. I put in a loyal,

loyal 26 years until July 2019. Welcome to my second act. My name's Donna and I'm Caddy's wife and today

our firstborn is 17 years old. Well my first born. You have another first born. We have our

I have my stepson will but my my first biological child Olivia is 17 years old today on Tuesday if you're listening on upload day. And it just seems hard to believe, doesn't it? It does. I know parents always say that. And if you don't have kids, you're like rolling your eyes right now. But it does. You feel that way, especially when it's your first born. I can remember if you've, I don't know if other moms are like this,

I'm sure they are, but my most, like one of the memories that is seared into my brain is when

you have your child and they give them to you and you look down at them and their little eyes,

I'm going to start crying. And it's like, I remember my doctor

saying with Olivia, you're in the club now. You're a mom now. And then he said, from this day

forward, your heart is always going to beat outside of your chest. And I thought, what an odd

statement. And it's so true.

What does that mean, though?

You're just, you live so loud.

Like your heart is just, I mean, everything is just so much, so much more.

Like you care so much more, you know, because up until then, it's just you.

You know, you can be selfish.

And now. And I'll tell you a funny story on olivia and charlotte and will this past weekend again if you're listening on upload date

tuesday was the fourth of july weekend all of our kids were gone it was us it was us and we had

nothing to do we have nothing to do we sat by our phones waiting for them to ring.

Yeah. Like a friend who has a boat. A yacht. A lake house. Something. A pool. Something. And our phones didn't ring. No. It was quite pitiful. It was. Yeah. It was. It reminded me, and I wrote about this in the letter, which is our weekly e-news letter that we sent on the Saturdays.

And so I always write an open,

and I wrote about this in the letter, which is our weekly e-newsletter that we sent on the Saturdays. And so I always write an open, and I wrote about this in the letter this past weekend. Remember years ago, it was maybe five years ago, we were in the DR. Yes. The Dominican Republic for the 4th of July. Yes. And I was miserable because there are no red, white, blue flags. They didn't care. They didn't. There's no fireworks. There's no parade. There's no watermelon. There's no. Nothing. Nothing. I think I drank like 12 El Presente days. I just, it felt strange to me. And I said it to myself at that point, I'm never not going to be in my country on Independence Day. I found myself thinking, I wish I was in the DR with 10 L. President days in a pool. But did you not feel strange? Yeah, no idea. And I had that same feeling this past weekend when it was just, you know, we kind of watched Hamilton about six times. Didn't do a whole lot. Some sparklers. You seriously? Well. A rather uneventful July 4th. But I think it is for everyone.
