i forget my username and/or password I know the UN was something about wheres the bourbon or something like that. Life's too short to try to get back onto that website. They were a good temp replacement for this site when it was down.

I heard him probably every day of the week and usually 3-4 x a week I got to listen to 3/4 of the show so I don't need to hear his final. I would like to hear him say goodbye. Do they pull him off the air early before he can say goodbye or anything. I really in truly thought his show was good but as CBS probably pointed out most of his topics weren't interesting for the 25-35 year old males as they are the primary target audience as they go to work more then any other age group.

What's everyones regrets, I have 1: I never called the show, I sent a bunch of messages in but I never did give the show a call. Also I lost a little interest when he changed to that boring format.

After the Jeff Bridges interview, that was pretty much it, apparently. Seems the CBS fuckwads didn't want Dave's last 15 minute segment on the air, because they figured he would probably go off on their asses. And who could have blamed him if he did?

they did come back from the Jeff Bridges interview, but played music.

Hey, we can say it's cool at least that he had a few month's run....not everyone would let Dave on the radio...heh
Here's betting he keeps the momentum going with something else..

He didn't get to say goodbye at the end, but he did kind of in the beginning of the show. Here's some highlights. (If I didn't type 85 wpm, I wouldn't have done this. lol)

Dave: There’s an elephant in the room. Let’s not pretend to not notice it. My brief but colorful tenure here as a broadcast hero has officially come to a glorious and colorful finish here like one of those Chuck Norris movies…It’s obviously all over the news and everybody’s talking. I guess we can introduce this officially as the Opie and Andy show…I’ve not heard their show…I just simply don’t usually get up this early in the morning unless you pay me…

We can clarify right here, because we are going through the whole dance. I’ve hired Darth Vader and Sons as my litigating attorneys, and they are going to be meeting with the characters upstairs and everything later on this afternoon; and we are going to determine if the right things are going to be done or if we are going to launch World War 9…this is not an amicable split, and I didn’t offer to quit…B. Young and I turned down over 100 gigs to make this show swing here. That’s a whole lot of Happy Meals at McDonalds baby. I found out yesterday in the car going home after work here that today is the official last day.

At any rate this has been the most colorful, the most exciting, the most educational, the most self-destructive, the most physically overexerting, most exhausting part of show biz that I have ever done in my entire life…everything actually was a hobby that led up to this. This called upon virtually every single thing that I know how to do as a song and dance guy and everything in between. At the worst, think of it as one 3-1/2 month long concert where the talking in between the songs was really, really, really, really long.

Time for excuses, and I like to do them early so nobody catches them. Of course, we got crappy ratings. Are you dreaming?…It’s a long haul, you follow? I don’t make light of it at all…just picking the tunes, just picking the subjects and grooving here has been a real eye-opener. Just dealing with all of you on the telephones and all the conversations…a lot of eye-openers here. I learned a lot from all of you out there, and I love the arguments, man. Now that’s the cup of coffee that I’m going to miss, however briefly; because, you know what? I love doing radio. I love doing the gig. I kind of grew up to it from the time I was a little kid…I think we’ve got something really unique happening here. It’s in its infancy stages. It’s like a drunk on roller skates, particularly this morning, because we did a gig last night.

But for better or worse, yeah, I definitely want to continue on in radio in a major, major kind of way. And either we are going to solve this gentlemanly or we’ll start World War 9 and we’ll have fun all over the page 6’s of the world for the next three years…I think what we’re going to do is we’ll solve this at some point; I’m going to imagine relatively soon. The shouts are out already to Sirus Radio and all the others, etc. etc. And what that means more than anything for us is beyond even satellite; it means television! Television had already approached us for this show. This would have been the reality show that would have ruled the season…All the television shows had offered...I think this would have been a combination of the Surreal Life meets the Weakest Link. It would have been the all-time toast…It would have been stunning. Just what goes on normally here in the routine show when we are down here in the engine room rolling like we stole something and the boss leaves you alone for awhile and you start to pick up steam. The flow was smoking.

Folks if this was not to your taste, it was probably because of my bizarre record collection…we brought some really interesting folks, because that’s my life. The way I speak. This is the way I am (sic) do speak. People have called up and said, “I like smart radio.” Well I think we are a safe, comfortable distance from genius. But…as opposed to dummying down, because none of you listening to me are stupid. Aren’t you tired of people pretending you are? There is a place for everybody, and I think our place might well be to go for the satellite…
