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".

[3][4] In addition to the radio programming, the show produced three comedic films starring Denver Dave, Shelly, and Chainsaw.

The proceeds from the CDs and DVDs, usually released around Christmas, supported the show's charity fund that assisted San Diego residents in need.

[9] In addition to Rickards, Maguire, and Randolph, the show included a supporting cast consisting of Chris Boyer, percussionist and comic foil; producer Sarah Beebe, news producer who also screened listener calls; and Elaina Smith, affectionately dubbed the "Mexican Leprechaun" by other members of the show.

The story is a semi-fictional tale, written by Jules Hypenstein and based on a real event that took place several years before the movie was made.

[citation needed] Plot: The J through K volume of Chainsaw's World Book encyclopedia has been stolen and (in the movie) Chainsaw accuses Dave of stealing it, triggering a comedic misadventure with guest appearances by co-starring Bob Costas, Dom Irrera, Doug Flutie, Davy Jones, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, and Don Rickles.

Along the way, viewers get an inside look at real-life flashbacks, radio station politics, bizarre secret meetings, and conspiracy theories, along with the nightlife parties, sporting events, and live comedy.

Plot: Shamus O'Reilly is supposed to receive $1 million for a scandalous videotape desperately wanted by notorious businessman Kaiser Poppo.

Despite advice from San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and Watergate legend G. Gordon Liddy, Rickards loses track of both the money and the videotape.
