Well, let's clarify. The Dave Man is buying himself some Sour Patch Kids, maybe some Sprite, and then bingo-bango, the party is on!! Again, so as to avoid any unnecessary lawsuits, Davey Mac can't afford to buy all you dogsies things. I wish I could, daddy. But, then...that'd cost me...like...at least thirty-eight dollars...and I don't have that kind of cash right now. Kids' birthdays cleaned me out. Anyway, let's CRUSH the weekend!! Adios!

Look at Little Davey Mac in that picture right there. What exactly is in that cup? It looks suspicious. I ain't saying anything. I'm just saying something. Young David simply appears to be delving into bad behavior. Combined with a camouflaged hat for some reason (was he fighting in an unknown war in New Jersey?), Dave appears in that photo to be a child version of Hunter S. Thompson. That is one naughty kid.
Dave does these impressions. You'd think he was the real people. Farewell, David Letterman! From the May 20th, 2015 DAVEY MAC SPORTS PROGRAM! Subscribe on iTunes and listen with the DMSP Player!
Let's face it...with David Letterman retiring, I believe that yours truly, Sir "East Side" Dave (not actually a knight) is now officially the best "Dave" in show business. You hear that, David Lee Roth?! Take a seat, old man! The Davey Mac is in da house! Are you listening, David Brenner?! Well, probably not...since you're deceased...but still...Dave McDonald is numero uno! God Bless America! And thanks, Dave (Letterman)!!

The year was 2009. And "The Late Show with David Letterman" unexpectedly had Paul McCartney playing on the Ed Sullivan Theater marquee. We quickly ran over there like it was the damned, surprise, Beatles-rooftop-concert of '69. Amazing. Later that night, I watched the show and low and behold, I made an appearance (technically my second) on "Letterman".
Do you see me? I had the beard then. Are you looking carefully? Want some help?
There. I circled it for you. That's me. I'm wearing the blue, Team Zissou shirt....hands up in the air...rockin' away (Paul was playing "Helter Skelter" during this shot). The next day, Time magazine, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly called my appearance "The greatest 2.3 seconds in television history." And as an aside, I'm lying about that last part.
Farewell, Dave! You da man!

This evening is David Letterman's penultimate show. Then, he does his finale on Wednesday night. My goodness, I can't believe Letterman is going. The world will be a less fun place when Dave leaves the air, and that's the truth, Ruth.
You know, I apologize for calling you "Ruth" right there. It was unnecessary. It was hurtful. You could be a Nancy, maybe even an Edna. But not Ruth. Sorry for that.
Bye, Dave! We'll miss you!

Sometimes I feel a little Jedi...sometimes a little Sith. I definitely feel Sith-y when I'm Force-choking some snarky official who is talking back to me. And when I shoot lightning out of my hands, I empathize with the Sith. Also, my red lightsaber gives me away. In fact, I have very few Jedi-like qualities, now that I think about it......except that I do like Snake Stew (a la Yoda in Empire). May the Force be with you, dogsie.

...with "Better Man". Great performance! Speaking as a fan of both Pearl Jam and David Letterman, I feel tingly inside. In a good way. Tingly.
Honestly, what the heck-fire was Avengers: Age Of Ultron about? Don't get me wrong, I kind of liked the movie. But what was the purpose? It pretty much took a Terminator plot-line, where machines will rise up and rule the world, didn't it? The action sequences looked cool, but we were lukewarm pleased with the movie. However, afterwards, we DOMINATED the poop out of the Food Court at the Monmouth Mall (in Eatontown, NJ). Slushies, pizza, ice cream!! We CRUSHED it. THAT performance...we give eight thumbs up to!

It's an insane week of Irish twin birthdays! Today, my little Jedi Padawan, Stanny Mac, turns six. That means that he and my daughter, Julianna, will be the same age, until she turns seven on Saturday. Thus, this week is Juli-Stan-A Fest!! Baseball Games! Movies! Parties! Wiffle Ball! Someone pegging someone else with said Wiffle Ball! Tears! Yelling! Oh, God help us all! Is that an explosion I hear? Anyway, all better with ice cream! Let's rock!!

It's my buddy boy's 6th birthday today, and I as his mentor and Jedi-Father wish him the happiest birthday in the world! It's your day, Stan! Hopefully we'll watch a Star Wars movie (let's decide on Return Of The Jedi) and have some cake and throw it at each other and then go outside to play and throw cake at our neighbors and buy some more cake at the store and while we're there, we take it out of the box and throw the cake at shoppers. Happy Birthday, Stanny Mac!!

After the "Twin Peaks" revival on Showtime (scheduled to shoot brand, new episodes) looked like it was dying because brilliant Creator/Director David Lynch would not be a part of the project, the word on the street from my exclusive, anonymous source, The New York Times, says that Lynch is now BACK on board, and thus "Twin Peaks" WILL (once again) return!!! Oh, God bless ya, Mr. Lynch!! God Bless Little-Backwards-Speaking-People, ladies who hold logs, eye-patch wearers, and all-around, glorious weirdness!! We did it!!

It's time to plug in and turn it up, dogsie. It's time to rock. Great weather this weekend. Let's destroy. Let's annihilate the weekend so hard that it begs us for mercy. You're in big trouble, Weekend!! You hear me?! Don't you try to ignore the Dave Man, Weekend!! He takes no prisoners!! Carl & Dave (and Gotts) on WRAT, 95.9 FM!! Adios!!

It goes without saying that I am a big Star Wars fan. "No duh, Dave, you red-headed idiot," is what you're probably saying if you're familiar with my various radio shows or this website. Well, first of all, why so harsh? "Red-headed idiot"? Come on, mang. That's too much. Also, I only speak of Star Wars so often because A.) They are the greatest movies ever and B.) They are the best movies ever. Anyway, because of all of that, I must wish the ultimate Master, writer/director/creator of the Star Wars saga, George Lucas, a very happy birthday!! George, if you're reading this, you are invited over to my house for hot dogs and a showing of Episode IV: A New Hope, but YOU bring the hot dogs, George!! AND the buns, you zillionaire!! And while you're at it, maybe bring over some chips and fresh, new copies of Star Wars on Blu-Ray!! Thanks!! Happy Birthday, G.L.!!!

Hopefully, this eye-patch is just temporary. I woke up yesterday with my left eye swollen shut and even had to go to the E.R. where the doctors said I had irritants and conjunctivitis in my eye and that I had to take special meds to get rid of the ailment. I also got this snazzy eye-patch. I feel like either the Russian from "LOST" (Not Penny's Boat) or some third-rate pirate who sucks at getting booty. Maybe I can just tell people that I'm a bounty hunter, on the prowl for a deranged, escaped convict. Oh, who am I kidding. I'd hunt for the guy for about ten minutes before loading up on Sour Patch Kids and checking out Avengers 2. Have a good day, you two-eyed dogsies!!
- East Side Dave
Indeed, apologies, my friends. But with my gruesome eye infection, I can't make it into the New York City to record the superb Davey Mac Sports Program this evening. My eye has more conjunctivitis and irritants in it than an old, blind dog who's about to be shot in the woods out of mercy. But we WILL be back next Wednesday, May 20th!! See you then!

Somewhere between the Slash concert and this morning on our morning show (Carl & Dave and Gotts) on WRAT, 95.9 FM, my has obviously been invaded by some grotesque, terrifying, Star Wars-esque space-spider who laid eggs in it. And, boy, do I feel like Sith!!! Hahahahahaaha!! Get it?!?! This is the meds talking!!! Anyway, stay tuned to my Social Media for news if there will be a Davey Mac Sports Program recorded tomorrow. Tonight is out. Hopefully, my Sarlacc Pit eye gets better in 24 hours. If not, we'll have to take this week off. Peace, homies!!
- East Side Dave
Well, we had at phenomenal time at the Slash show (present by WRAT, 95.9 FM at the Starland Ballroom) last night!! The Dave Man was there representing WRAT and, no, I did not frighten nor disturb Slash. I did scare several people in the audience, however, by just looking overall freakishness. Anyway, great times....now let's ROCK today!
