About

What’s up, Rat Rockers! “East Side” Dave McDonald here!  You can call me that, or Davey Mac, or Dumb-Face, or Dirt-Bag.  I’m cool with any of those.

Anyway, I love crushing the mornings with Carl Craft (and Gotts), weekdays at 6 AM (EST) during the Morning Rat Race.

A little about me: Life-long Monmouth County resident (I grew up in Spring Lake…and currently live in Spring Lake Heights);  Star Wars freak;  hard rock-lover;  15-year radio veteran (formerly of SiriusXM and the award-winning Davey Mac Sports Program);  sports-addict;  Film & TV enthusiast.   Did I mention I like Star Wars?    I’m a MAJOR wrestling fan.    I love Pearl Jam, G’N’R, and Floyd.    And I’m strange.

I enjoy defeating my kids at backyard Wiffle Ball.   Seriously, I dominate them.    I’m like the 1927 Yankees.   Home Run.   Double.    Home Run.    Bam-bam-bam.   They can’t take the Dave Man down.   Oh, yeah……and sometimes I talk about myself in the third person…(i.e. calling myself the “Dave Man”).

More quick facts:  I named my son Stan after Stanley Kubrick, the great film director.   I have no idea how my daughter got her name.

Strange factoid: I have had no cavities or any dental problems ever.   Knock on wood.   Basically, I could chew on glass if I wanted to.   If I was a horse, this would be looked at as an admirable trait.   On a human, it’s just odd, I suppose.

My Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are all @EastSideDave, so hit me up there.

And make sure you’re rocking your way to work with the Morning Rat Race with Carl & Dave (and Gotts)!  Peace!

– Dave
