The DSC Show, formerly The Dawn Patrol and The Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw Show (DSC), also known simply as Dave and Chainsaw, was a long-running morning radio show in the San Diego, California, area. Broadcast on weekday mornings on San Diego's famous KGB-FM, the show is named for its main hosts: Dave Rickards (sic) and Cookie "Chainsaw" Randolph, known as the "Dean of American Sportscasters".^[1] The show originated on April 1, 1990, with Shelly Dunn as a member of the trio; she retired from broadcasting in July 2018 and was replaced by Emily Jane Maguire, the show's then-producer.

The format of the show combined humor, parodies, news, and skits. The show's bawdy humor and irreverent attitude, described as "raucous and often hilarious", sometimes sparked controversy.^[2] That said, the show was marketed as "San Diego's most dependably hilarious morning radio show".^[3]^[4]

In addition to the radio programming, the show produced three comedic films starring Denver Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw. The group also released 18 annual "Best of" CDs featuring the show's regular cast members. The proceeds from the CDs and DVDs, usually released around Christmas, supported the show's charity fund that assisted San Diego residents in need.^[5]
