Obi-Wan...Less Than Truthful?

ALERT: SPOILS from a film series called Star Wars...

...It's one thing for Obi-Wan Kenobi to hide from Luke Skywalker that his father is the evil Darth Vader...but in Episode IV, why not tell Luke that his sister is Princess Leia as soon as they see the hologram?  What was this old man's true agenda?  This has been Space Theory...with East Side Dave.

Let's Have A Nice Weekend. No Funny Business!

Not that I'm the threatening type...but I want no one to get out of line or I'll have to throw you in the back of this vehicle here and take you to jail.  And look outside...it's a nice, beautiful day...no one needs to go to jail today...especially you and that little fella there...so join us on WRAT, 95.9 FM at 6 AM (EST)...have a nice day then...

Let's Start Fresh. Let's Rock Again.

The time for pissing in your beer and drinking it up like a hot, pissy glass of warm, piss-beer is over.  So put down your Gangs Of New York-urine-alcohol, and start fresh.  Sports is just sports.  It's means very little in this very large world...except on days when it feels like Mola Ram from Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom has ripped out your damned heart and lit it on fire.  ANYWAY, enjoy Carl & Dave this morning (and every weekday morning) on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 FM at 6 AM (EST)!  

This Is What It Looks Like When Your Baseball Team Loses In The Playoffs.

This is the look of a sad, non-bathed man.  His appearance says, "I may not brush my teeth for two weeks out of depression...and also because I'm lazy with dental hygiene."  The Yankees were defeated by the Astros last night in the American League Wild Card Game, 3 to 0, and the Dave Man has taken it badly.  He may begin not wearing pants in public (again).  Not even playing with his Star Wars toys is giving this grown-man-who-should-not-be-playing-with-Star-Wars-toys any fun.  Oh, well...there's always next year.........if there even IS a next year......what with the nuclear weapons and disease and asteroids and whatnot.  Have a nice day.

The Yankees Vs. The Astros. Wild Card Game TONIGHT.

Yeah, daddy.  The New York Yankees take on the Houston Astros at Yankee Stadium TONIGHT at 8 PM (EST).  The Yanks' perhaps-injured ace, Masahiro Tanaka, goes against Houston's Cy Young-candidate, Dallas Keuchel.  I'm jacked up.  No, I mean I'm REALLY jacked up.  I'm ready to explode and smash my groin area into the garage door out of excitement.  I'm all set to kiss my dog on the lips for the awesomeness that this one-game playoff will provide.  Let's go Yankees!

Welcome To The Jungle, Baby. You're Not Gonna Die. You'll Have A Pleasant Time.

That's right.  We don't need any threatening going on here at the world's most loving website, "East Side Dave Country Dot Com".  Instead, we need to shake hands, hell, maybe even hug it out, and have a journey of awesomeness this week.  We're capable of greatness.  It all starts on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 FM with Carl Craft & "East Side" Dave at 6 AM (EST)!  Bring the joy!  Bring the juice!  Bring it!

F.U., Hurricane Joaquin.

Let's have a crushingly awesome Saturday and if this Hurricane Joaquin comes, let's beat the hell out of it with unified power.  Bottom line: we're taking you down Joaquin.  Like Russell Crowe in Gladiator, we're gonna grab Joaquin by the throat and choke his scrawny ass out.  BAM!  Stay safe, dogsie!

This Means War...

Twitter and Facebook have a simultaneous, dark conspiracy to not verify my accounts, though I co-host my own morning show on one of the biggest rock stations in America (WRAT, 95.9 FM), have worked on national radio, 92.3 K-Rock, and appeared on national TV (on Spike and TLC).  Their shadowy agenda clearly indicates that they are scared of the Dave Man.  So I have taken matters into my own hands.  This picture indicates the power of "East Side" Dave...Galactic Media Superstar.  Peace.

David McDonald: Radio Host/Fashionista.

You want to look your best.  You expect others to see you as class-personified.  Then go with the "East Side" Dave McDonald Collection.  Our brand of men's clothing mixes a certain elegance with the kind of flash that says, "Look at me.  I've dressed up sheep in sweaters.  I am totally insane."  You deserve it.  The "East Side" Dave McDonald Collection.

It's Giants Sweatshirt Time!

I've broken out the Giants sweatshirt for the first time all year...which means BAD NEWS for Giants opponents.  As the world knows, this sweatshirt was primarily worn during the seasons when the G-Men won Super Bowls 42 and 46 respectively.  Then, so as to not wear out the magical, good luck that comes with this piece of clothing, I put it on the shelf for a year or two.  Well...it's back, baby.  NFL, you are warned.  Big Blue is headed for victory in Super Bowl 50.  Check out Carl & Dave, weekdays on Jersey's legendary WRAT, 95.9 FM at 6 AM (EST)!

David Scissorhands: A Modern Fairy Tale

Once upon a time, in an area of New Jersey near you, lived a man named David Scissorhands.  Some people called him a freak.  In fact, most people called him a freak.  "Freaky, freak-freak!" is what they would exclaim.  But David had one talent...cutting hedges into different objects with his scissors.  Unfortunately, the shapes were not aesthetically pleasing.  For David was a left-handed freak, and only had access to regular, righty scissors.  Thus, most of David's "creations" would simply be named "Blob #1" and "Eyesore".  This has been the pointless tale of..........David Scissorhands.
