David Dodd "Dave" McDonald (born November 1, 1977), also known as East Side Dave and Davey Mac, is an American radio personality. He currently co-hosts the Morning Rat Race with Carl & Dave (and Gotts) on WRAT 95.9 FM. Additionally he hosts an online video program, The East Side Dave Show, which is also available in audio form. This show is part of the fee based compoundmedia.com platform. McDonald is also the former on-air producer for The Ron and Fez Show on Sirius XM Satellite Radio, where he also hosted The Davey Mac Sports Program XL.

McDonald was born in California raised in Spring Lake, New Jersey. He attended and graduated from Monmouth University, where he received a degree in communications. After working overnights on-air for radio stations such as WBJB-FM and WRAT McDonald was hired as a producer for Ron and Fez.

McDonald started his radio career working over nights for local NJ radio stations.

McDonald started working for the Ron and Fez Show in December 2005 as a producer. Originally, the Ron and Fez Show pretended that McDonald was working as a hot dog vendor outside of the Ron and Fez studios and that's why they hired him. Ron Bennington was quoted, "There's something funny about that hotdog cart guy." While working on Ron and Fez, McDonald appeared several times on the Opie and Anthony Radio Show.

In June 2010 he resigned from his positions at the Ron and Fez Show to pursue more radio endeavors.

In the fall of 2008, McDonald and Sam Roberts started Special Delivery for Sirius XM. The show started as a pre-taped hour airing on Saturday nights, then became a weekly live show. In November 2011, it was switched over to McDonald's solo show, the Davey Mac Sports Program XL. Billy Mitchell was a frequent guest. Special Delivery did a live broadcast during the 2011 Kong Off where Hank Chien, Billy Mitchell, Steve Wiebe, and several other players competed in Donkey Kong.
