Han Solo - Con Artist?

Quite frankly, what is Han Solo thinking trying to charge Obi-Wan and me 10,000 space-bucks for getting a ride to Alderaan?  I mean, that's like you asking me to give you a hitch to the liquor store two miles away.  Han...come on, man!  Charge Obi-Wan and Luke what's fair or we'll bring Yogurt into this deal and these negotiations will turned damned ugly!  That is all!

Let's Take The Weekend By The Horns And Bring It Down!

First, I'd like you to enjoy Carl & Dave on 95.9 The RAT at 6 AM (EST).  Then, I think you should crack open a beverage of your choice.  After that, I recommend gettin' your own dance party going.  Following that, I suggest you take your favorite stuffed animal and cuddle it.  It's weekend time, baby.  Let's get nuts.

Colonel David Sanders!

First they cast Darrell Hammond as Colonel Sanders for KFC commercials.  Now, they've switched to Norm MacDonald as Colonel Sanders.  Hogwash!  Hogwash, I says!!  The best thing for Kentucky Fried Chicken would be to name myself, Sir "East Side" Dave McDonald, as the true Colonel Sanders.  I mean, think of all the wonderful nightmares that I would cause children to have!  KFC, if you're listening, I only charge two million dollars per commercial.  Thanks!

SHARK!!!

Although, truth be told, this is a Tiger Shark..  The bite radius of this animal does not match the wounds of the Kintner boy.  However, despite what Mayor Vaughn thinks, I say we cut this son of a bitch open and let that little Kintner brat spill all over the dock (if he is even there).  It's go time!

Happy Anniversary, 'Born To Run'!

Yesterday was the 40th Anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's iconic and breakthrough album, Born To Run.  Here now, without further ado, are my Top Three songs of the album:

3.) "Thunder Road"

This song kicks off the album, and is epic.

2.) "Backstreets"

This ditty is in the middle of the album, and is epic.

1.) "Jungleland"

This tune ends the album, and is epic.

Honorable Mention: All of the other songs on the album (for being epic).

Congrats, Bruce!

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper Vs. "East Side" Dave McDonald: A Match For The Ages

It's being called "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever That Won't Actually Happen Because One Of The Competitors Is Currently Deceased"......"Rowdy" Roddy Piper Vs. "East Side" Dave McDonald...in a never-before-seen Winner-Takes-Kilt match.  After their epic battle, however, the two pals will have a nice, tropical drink served in a coconut before slamming said coconut into Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka's head.  Peace!

Davey Mac Public Service Announcement: Don't Get Eaten By Sharks.

I have to tell you, as someone who once had my face bitten off by a shark and had to get a head transplant, I can only say to you, my dogsies: try not to swim with sharks and tell them anti-fish jokes.  They just don't get sea humor.  See you today on Jersey's legendary 95.9 The RAT at 6 AM (EST).  And please call a doctor for the me.  Thank you.

The New Empire, Who We Believe Is Called The First Order, Looks Sweet!

Check out this gloriously large and epic photo of The First Order from Star Wars: The Force Awakens (due out in theaters on December 18th).  Yeah, this flick looks like awesome.  As the saying goes, I don't want to get ahead of myself and put the horse on top of the cart and feed him snacks...but this will simply be the Greatest Movie Ever.

I Suck At SummerSlam Predictions.

Man alive, I went over my "brilliant" SummerSlam predictions and I believe I got .00006% correct.  If there's one thing I ain't, it's a damned Nostradamus of wrestling.  I should just stick with what I do best...making it rain, daddy.  See you this week at 6 AM (EST) on 95.9 The RAT

SummerSlam Is Upon Us!

Here are the "Wrestling Master" East Side Dave McDonald's Terrific Top Three predictions for SummerSlam this evening:

* Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns will split up...perhaps Ambrose turns heel and backstabs Reigns.  The "brotherhood" dissipates!

* Seth Rollins defeats John Cena and re-breaks his nose!

* The Undertaker gets revenge upon Brock Lesnar for Lesnar breaking the Undertaker's Wrestlemania win streak and crushes Lesnar in an epic match.  He then finds East Side Dave in the crowd and choke slams him, too!

Have a great SummerSlam Sunday, dogsie!

Just What Was The Monolith Anyway?

No one 2001: A Space Odyssey more than the Dave Man, daddy.  But one question remains...just what the Sam Hill was the monolith?  I'm assuming that it was some kind of alien technology that assists the human species in evolving to reach their maximum potential.  Hmm.  I think I just answered my own question.  Space-mystery solved!  Peace!

Happy Weekend. Now Go Pick Up Entertainment Weekly!

I finally got my hands on the new Entertainment Weekly to stare with my mouth open while zombie drool slides down my face as I peruse the Star Wars article complete with never-before-seen photos of The Force Awakens.  Oh, my Lord, the pictures look cosmically awesome.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to lock myself in my room and commit these pics to my Star Wars-obsessed memory.  Good day!

Shall We Have A Cosmically Awesome Weekend? Yes, We Shall!

I'm not gonna be long on words here...except to tell you, my wonderful Dave Pound, that I love the Wookie out of you and I'm hoping your weekend will be out of this galaxy.  Hahaha!  See that?!  See what I did there?!  It was a space-pun, daddy!!  Hahahaha!

...Have a nice weekend.

- East Side Dave

Today We Bring The Noise!

Pouring, heavy rain from the Heavens will not deter the Dave Man from getting his rock on.  It's simply the way I roll, daddy.  If anything, it puts me in the mood for precipitation songs.  Maybe we can even get a little "November Rain" by G'N'R cooking today.  In any event, destroy the day with us, Carl & "East Side" Dave.....weekdays at 6 AM (EST) on 95.9 The RAT!  And have a mighty weekend, soldiers!  Peace!

Dave McDonald...Not A Good Boxer.

Let's be real clear here...if I ever fought Mike Tyson, I would get absolutely DESTROYED.  Hell, if I fought Bill Gates I'd probably get crushed.  Other people who would most likely annihilate me in a boxing match:

* Verne Troyer

* Stephen Hawking

* Jim Morrison (despite being dead)

* Hillary Clinton

* The guy who had to cut off his arm while rock-climbing which they made a movie about starring James Franco

The bottom line is this, daddy...Davey Mac is not here to punch...he's here to ROCK.  Carl & "East Side" Dave.....weekdays at 6 AM (EST) on 95.9 The RAT!

Captain Phasma & "East Side" Dave: Making Your Day Better Since 2015.

All I know is that Captain Phasma (from Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and I make one heck of a team.  Captain Phasma sets up the pins, daddy, and "East Side" David knocks 'em down.  Our mutual interests in conquering the galaxy and space-bowling have made us the best of pals.  See you turkeys later.
