The Saga of the DSC Show: San Diego Says Goodbye to a Morning Radio Legend (But Not Without Tears...and Laughter)
Ah, the DSC Show. A San Diego institution for over 32 years, it was the soundtrack to countless commutes, the source of questionable life advice (never take financial tips from Chainsaw, folks), and a guaranteed provider of laughs (sometimes at your own expense). But like all good things, the DSC Show eventually rode off into the sunset, leaving a mic-shaped hole in our hearts (and a slightly less noisy morning drive).

| What Happened To Dsc San Diego |
So, what exactly happened?
The story's not a short one, but here's the abridged version:
QuickTip: A short pause boosts comprehension.
- The Core Crew Calls it Quits: In November 2022, the unthinkable happened. Dave Rickards and Cookie "Chainsaw" Randolph, the dynamic duo who'd been there since the beginning, announced their retirement. Let's just say, San Diego collectively shed a tear (or three) into their morning coffee.
- A Show With a Rocky Past: This wasn't the DSC Show's first brush with near-extinction. Back in 2010, they were dropped from KGB, only to be resurrected like a radio phoenix on another station. So, some folks might have thought a comeback was possible. But alas, this time it was curtains.
- The Final Farewell: Originally slated for December 16th, 2022, fate (or maybe a well-timed case of COVID) intervened. Dave got sick, pushing the final show back a week. Finally, on December 23rd, 2022, with a mix of laughter and sniffles, Dave and Chainsaw signed off for the last time.
But wait! There's more! The legacy of the DSC Show lives on. Former cast members Sarah Beebe and Chris Boyer took the reins of a new morning show on KGB – "KGB Mornings with Sarah and Boyer." It's not quite the same, but hey, at least you can still get your morning dose of San Diego quirk.
