Halloween Season Is Here.

And the Dave Man is psyched.  I've gotten all of the Halloween decorations out and am currently eating candy by the handful with my pants off.  Additionally, I'm keeping Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas on an alternately running loop in my house while reading up on how to hunt down werewolves.  I have also converted my garage into a vampire prison and have my Frankenstein-destroying robots on full alert.  Bring it, Halloween.  Bring it hard. 

BREAKING NEWS - Mike Francesa Falls Asleep AGAIN!

It's good to keep passionless, stale, radio hosts around.  They bring a lot to the table...including not caring about their jobs and falling asleep on the air!!  Mike Francesa, who East Side Dave Country has been monitoring since 1989 before it was en vougue, has now fallen asleep for the second time while broadcasting!  Yikes!


Here is Mike falling asleep the first time.


Oh, well!  Keep recycling the old and tired, Radio Gods, and this is what you get!  Zzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!

 

Personally Speaking, I'd Like You To Listen To WRAT's Morning Rat Race. Thank You.

                    East Side Dave - He's always been the Caretaker.

Did you know that squirrels have been known to point and laugh at mice?  Do you realize that one out of every three ghosts enjoys hiding my phone and wallet when I'm late for an appointment? 

If you are not aware of these facts, relax, for the Dave Man simply made them up.  After all, I'm pretty sure squirrels don't even have proper hands that they can use for pointing.  This whole thing was a silly ruse.

So listen to Carl & Dave on New Jersey's legendary rock station, WRAT, 95.9 FM, on WRAT.com and/or the free WRAT appAdios, amigos!!!

Let's Have Fun Together Today.

                            East Side Dave - He likes looking at you.

Yeah, that sounds a little odd, I guess.  I hope it's not awkward between us now.  That would be a shame.  I mean, I really like you.  Anyway, hang out with Carl & Dave on WRAT, 95.9 FM, on WRAT.com and/or the free WRAT app, this morning and EVERY morning!  Peace!!

This Morning Shall Be Like No Other Morning.

                                     Davey Mac = Keyser Soze?

You will tune in to Carl Craft and "East Side" Dave McDonald on New Jersey's legendary WRAT 95.9 FM.  You will enjoy the show on WRAT.com and/or the free WRAT app.  And like THAT.......you'll be gone.  The greatest trick you ever pulled was convincing the chef that you are hungry....or something like that.....I sort of forget the quote from the movie......as you can rightfully tell...

The Morning Rat Race Is Better Than Cannonball Run.

And you can tell that to Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise, dawg.  What the heck is the Morning Rat Race?  It's the new, hit show in radio starring Carl Craft and "East Side" Dave McDonald on New Jersey's legendary WRAT 95.9 FM.  Check out the show on WRAT.com and/or the free WRAT app!!  And unlike Burt Reynolds, Carl & Dave don't pronounce them "Rosary Bleeds."

Sometimes I Eat By Myself At The Mall Food Court.

No big deal, right?  I'm just a crazy, red-headed lunatic, eating Burger King and staring wildly at every single person who comes within five feet of me.  I've never had a problem being by myself in a proper restaurant,  but chowing down solo at the Food Court seems sort of sad.  So, in order to combat this depressing look, I usually start to punch myself in the face and yell things like "I ain't no dildo!" in order to present the picture of your ordinary psychopath.  You gotta do what you gotta do!!

Happy Saturday, ladies and jugheads!

I am going to chillax  (as they say) today...go watch the The Boxtrolls...and then check out the Notre Dame Vs. Syracuse game (at 8:00 EST on ABC).  Then, it's Sour Patch Kids and tickles and suspecting that my dog has been stealing my Blu Ray's and hiding them on me.  Where the shit is Braveheart, Strummer?!  I know you have it!!!!

Friday's Rule.

Join Carl & Dave (and the Gotts) this morning on WRAT 95.9 FM for Derek Jeter talk, celebrity nonsense, and general funsanity. And happy Friday!!

If You Control The Weather, Please Make It Stop Raining.

I have tons of respect for every single individual who shows up to East Side Dave Country, listens to some radio, watches a few videos, and reads a couple of articles.  This may be the Budweiser talking, but I believe if you are reading this, you are indeed a magical human being.  So do me a favor...please turn off the rain and get some sun out here in the greater New Jersey/New York area so that Derek Jeter can play his final home game in Yankee Stadium in peace, for poop's sake.  Thank you.

The Dave Man Signal!

Similar to the Bat Signal, if you are in trouble and need a red-headed man to come to your side in aid and probably invite himself into your house and drink your beer, the use then Davey Mac signal (in the picture)!!!  Thwonk!!  


Happy Day Day!

I am hereby commemorating today, September 23rd, as the first annual Day Day.  Henceforth, every year we shall celebrate the fact that this day is IN FACT a day, that we will honor this day by drinking alcohol and smoking and grilling shit and shooting off fireworks and guns and crossbows and we will make Star Wars statues out of household products and we will alter our natural state so thoroughly that we will think our hands are puppets.  Happy Day Day one and all.

Oh, Captain my Captain!

It just dawned on me that (with the Yankees about to miss the playoffs) this will be Derek Jeter's final week of Major League Baseball.  The Captain ends his career in Fenway Park (of all damned places) on Sunday.  I'll watch Number Two play the BoSox and wear an MLB uniform for the last time on Sunday, and then I'll probably cry like a dumb baby...I might even barf a little, too...and I'm guaranteed to crap myself...at which point I'd like to be picked up and put in a giant Davey Crib so that I can take a nap.
