Shhhhhhh.......I hate to interrupt whatever it is you're doing (catching some Z's, playing footsies with a small animal, eating garbage out of the trash can, etc.) but Carl & "East Side" Dave are prepared to dominate the week and would like YOU to join us on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 The RAT. If you're in the NJ/NY/PA area, you can listen online at WRAT.com! Peace, homies!

Here's one of the more odd yet glorious song medleys that the Dave Man and gang have ever performed. Listen to this instant classic based on a Bruce Springsteen song (cover) and a Star Wars creature!

Oh, baby, I cannot wait for tonight's episode of HBO's brilliant series, "True Detective". If you recall, daddy, in the masterpiece which was Season One of "True Detective", it was Episode Four that put the show on the map. It was utterly amazing. It made me pee-pee my pants a little. Ok, ok, fine, it made me pee-pee my pants a LOT. In fact, there was so much pee-pee, I needed one of those industrial pool-drainers to get my trousers dry. And this evening is indeed Episode Four. Get ready, dogsie. And perhaps, if you're like me, wear an extra-strength adult diaper while watching it. That is all.

Well, my silly life could not possibly get any better. I woke up today to find that Comic Con released a new Star Wars: The Force Awakens featurette. And guess what? I started crying. Yep. I was sobbing as if someone detonated my red bicycle that I got for Christmas in 1987 into a million pieces a la the Death Star. Except those would have been painful tears. These were tears of sheer joy, daddy. I've since watched it eight times; and with each viewing I hug my Tauntaun doll harder and harder. If I'm not careful, i may suffocate this poor creature. Then again, he's not alive. He's just a stuffed animal. Check this out NOW!

Here's a vintage picture of myself smashing some of my enemy Donkey Kong's barrels. Take THAT, Fuzzball. In your face. You see, you don't want to mess with the Dave Man. Why? Because not only does he occasionally talk about himself in the third person, he also routinely pees himself. I only came here to do two things, Donkey Kong: smash some barrels and kick some ass. Looks like we're almost outta ass.........I mean barrels.............damn. I screwed that up. Peace.

And, with all due respect to Marshawn Lynch, no one is more of a Beast-On-The-Weekend than Sir "East Side" David. I put Marshawn Lynch to shame. I squash him like the football-carrying grape that he is. If they tried to pass the ball instead of giving it to ME in the Super Bowl, I would have walked over to QB Russell Wilson and ate him. Then, I would have rushed the ball into the end zone and eaten the referee. Beast Mode Dave. I like the sound of that. Have a good one, Dave Pound!

I was totally surprised today to see that Star Wars has finally released an official, new app through Disney & Lucasfilm and, boy Jabba, am I excited! Right away, the app looks as cool as Boba Fett and has tons to do, read, and watch! Thank you, Yoda, Lord Vader, the Ewoks, IG-88, Greedo, Lobot, or whoever else was a part of this!

This image on the left is a picture of me with my Rat Rock. The one on the right is of me WITHOUT my Rat Rock. See the difference?! Is this something you can share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry?!?! It's like you're trying to unravel a giant cable-knit sweater and someone keeps knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and KNITTING!!! Join Carl & Dave this morning on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 The RAT. Bye, Francis!!

Yes. I just heard the amazing news that the second, Star Wars, stand-alone (or as they're being called, "Anthology") movie will be out in 2018 and based on a young Han Solo as he goes from smuggling jerk to smirking, hero-jerk. This is unbelievable. It's essentially what we've all been wanting for years, Indiana Jones In Space. They will cast a younger actor in the role of Han Solo. I suggest either myself or me. That is all. Check out Carl & Dave (and Gotts) this morning at 6 AM (EST) on Jersey's Hall-Of-Fame rock station, WRAT, 95.9 The RAT. May the Force be with you!

I could lie to you...but that would be wrong. Just like pushing old people into puddles. Pointing and laughing at small animals. Blowing up your own garage. Some things are just wrong, daddy. But what's RIGHT? Carl & "East Side" Dave. Weekday mornings at 6 AM (EST) on Jersey's famous WRAT, 95.9 The RAT. It's just right, baby.

We are in the process of turning our Main McDonald Family Base (i.e. the living room) into an ultimate Star Wars Shrine. As you can see, we have a Star Destroyer, a large Darth Vader figurine, a small Stormtrooper, a TIE Fighter, an almost-hidden Boba Fett, an X-Wing, a big Luke Skywalker doll, a mini-Millennium Falcon, a C-3PO and R2-D2 statuette from Disney World's Star Tours ride, Han Solo frozen in Carbonite, one of Jabba the Hutt's Gamorrean Gaurds, and Jabba himself. We are the Masters. Whether we are Jedi Masters or Sith Lords remains to be seen. But we ARE the Star Wars Masters. Space-Face.

Did you see "True Detective" last night? Any show that starts out with an Elvis impersonator and a lifeless body on the floor is FINE by me, daddy. Hell, I'm not even 100% sure what is going on...and I don't mind! All I know is, just like Season One, this is the best acting by virtually every cast member of their careers...and, yes, that includes Taylor Kitsch coming off his brilliant performance in the acclaimed film John Carter. The Dave Man might be confused as to the overall plot-line, but then again, sunsets and shoe-laces confuse the Dave Man as well. Anyway, good job "True Detective". Let's dominate with "East Side" Dave this week on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 The RAT. Carl & Dave (and Gotts) rock it like Vince Vaughn. Weekdays at 6 AM (EST). Have a good one!

What a way to cap off July Fourth Weekend with our America girls absolutely annihilating the piss out of Team Japan. I'll be honest, as I write this, the U.S. is up 4 to 1; and though there is a ton of soccer left, I'm heading into the Smoke Zone to prepare for a new episode of "True Detective" on HBO tonight. Congrats, ladies! U-S-A! U-S-A!!

As the great Dennis Hopper said in the movie Speed: "Pop quiz, hot shot!!" What do Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, and "East Side" Dave McDonald have in common? Well, besides being a trio of American, Rock-God, Poets, all three have visited and headlined the great Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Of course, Morrison performed an amazing concert with The Doors in 1968. Dylan did a phenomenal show a few years ago with his band. And this morning, "East Side" Dave just hummed the novelty song "Fish Heads" for six people. But still...you get the point. Geniuses play the same locations. That is all.

U-S-A! U-S-A!! Let's get nutty today! Let us shoot explosions into the sky and chug beer and throw hamburgers at each other and chuck sparklers at people and eat potato salad until we barf and have some Jell-O shots, and lick melted ice cream off the sidewalk, and light out house on fire, and chant U-S-A!! Happy July Fourth!

"Martin, it's all psychological. You yell 'barracuda', everybody says, 'Huh? What?' You yell 'shark'.......we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July."
"Love to prove that, wouldn't ya? Get your name into the National Geographic."
"This is not the time or the place to perform some kind of a half-assed autopsy on a fish... And I'm not going to stand here and see that thing cut open and see that little Kintner boy spill out all over the dock."
Damn, Mayor Vaughn might have been the greatest mayor in Amity Island history. Look at those quotes...each one is a direct piece of verbal brilliance and poetry by the great Mayor Vaughn. God Bless Him. God Bless America.

Here we go, daddy. Buckle up and get ready for light-speed. It's a July Fourth weekend and I'm gonna shoot some explosives in the air and run around naked and pet strange animals and tape an American flag to my kid's head and we're gonna revolt against England for their suppressive taxation policy on our colonies by flying over to that dinky Island and bombing them with our TIE Fighter. See you later on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 The RAT! Have a good weekend! Unless you're a 1770's British spy.....then screw you!
