This Week's Davey Mac Sports Program WILL Go On! I Love The Smell Of DMSP In The Morning!

If you didn't know (and you should, dogsie-pal) the award-winning* Davey Mac Sports Program is moving from SkinnyMan Studios 1.0 to SkinnyMan Studios 2.0. This will take between a month to two months. At first we were gonna simply take these two months off. But you know what? We love you...the #DMSP community. Seriously, we love the piss out of you. So here's the plan. Chris "Pepper" Stanley will record on his end from an undisclosed location in Southeast Asia; and the Dave Man will call in; also expect Roy Shaffer, Sean O (who is on vacation this week), and perhaps other surprise guests like Mike Tyson, the guy who plays Paul Blart, and Martin Scorcese (OK, fine, those last three guests were lies. Pure lies). Regardless, the shows are gonna be historic, insane, and as for the Dave Man, I shall be calling into Pepper's mysterious studio from the Smoke Zone (which means insanity could ensue). Yes, Friend-O's, we shall rock the sports and pop culture world in such glorious style that we will win 10,000 points and six fireballs. Take THAT, Bowser! The program will be uploaded Thursday night/Friday morning! We are scheduled for vacation the week of Monday, July 20th, so no #DMSP that week. Outside of that, we're gonna CRUSH this summer. Thanks for the support and subscribe on iTunes and/or listen here in the DMSP Player section. So tune in to my social media and this site for when the show is up! God Bless America!

True Detective Dave...Don't Try Him, Criminal.

Detective Dave is a loose cannon. He beats up fathers whose sons take his kid's sneakers. And he has a propensity to hang around people who are lacking eye balls. He also likes mustaches. You've been warned.

Punch It, Chewie!

Sometimes when I'm sitting at the radio controls as co-host of Carl & Dave, weekdays at 6 AM (EST), on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 The RAT, I like to pretend that I am in the Millennium Falcon, about to shoot this ship into hyperspace. Unfortunately, it never seems to work. Instead, I usually end up breaking a microphone or two...or three...oh...and sometimes I accidentally burn the studio. Hey, mistakes happen. Now punch it, Chewie!

Ten Dave-er Bill.

With all due respect, there's been a lot of talk lately that the ten dollar bill is going to be changed from Alexander Hamilton to one of these other historic freakazoids. BS, I says. "B" to the bleeping "S". You know who needs to make the ten dollar bill? Yeah, you guessed it, General "East Side" Dave McDonald. Sure, he hasn't fought in any wars, has had little if not zero impact on societal issues, and barely knows how to count. But that didn't stop Andrew Jackson from getting on currency...and that shmizbo once killed a giraffe (or so I just made up). Vote for the Dave Man today! Thank you, America!

Who The Heck Is Ready For "True Detective" Tonight? The Dave Man Is!

Man, I re-watched HBO's brilliant series, "True Detective", again...and I have to tell you...I think this season has the potential to be cotton pickin' awesome. I don' know if it's crows masks, eyeless weirdos, motorcycle maniacs, sex web cams, and all kinds of crazy nonsense. THIS season looks dominant. Early predictions? I think, unfortunately......that I am the killer. I know that I am not a fictional character, and living in the word of a TV crime-drama should be implausible. But, and maybe this is just the Smoke Zone talking, I feel that I personally burned the eyes out of that poor bastard Casper with acid. Godd Bless Ya!

Happy Saturday, Gang!

It looks like it's gonna rain today. So I'm deciding between a mini-"Under The Dome" marathon or perhaps an Indiana Jones double-header. We'll see. In the meantime, if you are coming over, please bring some chips......two cases of beer......four bottles of Coke......a crate of Sour Patch Kids.....a pair of small reptiles.....a shotgun.....a few dwarf masks......Phil Donahue......tweezers.....six barf bags.....and a replication of the Death Star out of cardboard. Thank you. See you later.

Beach Day! Who's Headed To The Sarlacc Pit Shore?

When you're on Tatooine, looking for a solid beach spot, take my advice and go straight to the Sarlacc Pit! There will be plenty of room to spread out your beach blanket, set up your '80's boombox, and chillax with very few people (and aliens) bothering you. My only piece of advice: watch out for the long, killer, Sarlacc Pit tongues which could horrifically grab you and throw you into the Pit where you will digest for a thousand years. Have a great day!

It's Guess-Time, Daddy!

Hey, guess who has a three-day weekend this week AND next? Take one guess! (It's me.) Go ahead....guess away, dogsie-pal! (That would be me, "East Side" Dave. Also, Carl Craft of Carl & Dave on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 The RAT.) Come on, let's hear your guess!! (Seriously, this should be easy. Carl. Me. Not that hard.) Are you ready to guess?! It's ME, David! See you later, baby!!!

True Detective Rules.

I am so excited that HBO's brilliant "True Detective" is back. Even if I have no idea what the first episode was about. In fact, I had to re-watch the cotton-pickin' thing in order to understand it. Hey, did you that know Vince Vaughn is on the show?! It's true (no pun intended)!! And were you aware that Colin Farrell is the cop with the mustache?! It's true detective (no pun intended...ok...fine...pun intended...)!! God Bless America!!

It's A Good Day. No. It's A GREAT Day.

Are you ready to dominate? Because the Dave Man is definitely ready to dominate, daddy. He's gonna dominate the cheese off a pizza, he'll dominate the webbing out of a spider, and he's sure to dominate the face off a vampire. Join us on WRAT, 95.9 The RAT! Weekdays at 6 AM! Domination Dave-Nation!

I'm Not Afraid Of Anything.

Except insects, knives, swimming pools, band-aids, small animals, forest fires, police sirens, the Apocalypse, ghosts, my parents' basement, unicycles, small-handed people, and Lucifer. Besides those few things, I ain't afraid of poop. Peace.

Art Alexakis Drops By WRAT To Talk With Carl & Dave!

Art from Everclear stopped by WRAT, 95.9 The RAT to chat with Carl & Dave and killed it with a couple of great performances and fun banter. We discussed cassette tapes, ironic T-shirts, rock 'n' roll, and painful accidents! We even talked smack about the Seahawks-Patriots Super Bowl! And then Art and guitarist Dave French played two, superb songs! Listen to Carl & Dave, weekdays at 6 AM (EST), on WRAT, 95.9 The RAT!!

It's Monday? No. It's FUN Day. Slam-bam!!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Yessir! To all the dogsies with pupsies out there, I extend a "Happy Father's Day" to you! As a dad myself, this is the one day of the year where I act like some Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh and make my entire family serve me without literally moving a centimeter off the couch. I act so slovenly lazy and gangster-ish, if I had Han Solo frozen and hanging on my wall, I'd essentially be the Jabba the Hutt of New Jersey. Anyway, have a good day, daddy! Peace!

Tiger Woods Stinks Like The Poo-Poo.

Seriously. Is Tiger Woods drunk? I was watching him miss the cut yesterday at the U.S. Open...and he was playing poorer than a 1930's hobo on acid. At one point at the 14th hole, in fact, I thought I saw Tiger take a swill of Wild Turkey and try to illegally jump on a freight train west-bound while singing "Happy Days Are Here Again". Now, it's Saturday, and we have no Tiger Woods this weekend in a PGA Major...ratings crusher. It was like Tiger pulled a Keyser Soze...I can hear the Kevin Spacey voice-over now...Tiger has convinced the world he doesn't exist...and like THAT...he's gone.

So East Side Dave Is An Ax Murderer?

Not really. Just to clarify, "East Side" Dave is NOT an ax murderer...but he likes that movie starring Mike Meyers. He also likes candy. And thus Dave and his big head are gonna load the Holy Heck up on all kinds of M&M's and watch Ax Murderer in the Smoke Zone before attending Pixar's Inside Out this evening. Life is good, daddy. Have a hardy one!

- Dave

Who's Gonna Rock Today? WE Are, Baby!

It's ON. Don't even hint at it being off...because it ain't...it's ON. And what is "it" in this scenario? Life. Radio. Lightning. Dominance. Eating. Drinking. Smoking. Tickling. Cutting. Peeing. DOMINATING. Join Carl & Dave (and Gotts) this morning on New Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 The RAT!! After the show, my orange rear-end is gonna crush some U.S. Open golf on TV, hit the Smoke Zone, and then see Pixar's Inside Out! BOOM!! TGIF, everybody!!

The "East Side" Dave: Looks Like A "True Detective" Character.

The Morning Rat Race continues to dominate with Carl & Dave (and Gotts) weekdays mornings on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 The RAT!! Carl is out today...which you know what THAT means...with "East Side" Dave and Gotts in charge, there will most likely be at least four to six accidental in-studio explosions, probably a head-wound or three, and someone will surely get eaten. So tune in! 6 AM (EST)!! Listen online if you live in NJ/NY/PA at WRAT.com/ListenLive!! Later!
