Sam YG officially bid farewell to Magic 89.9 after over 17 years. On Tuesday, November 21, he marked his last show on the popular radio talk show Boys Night Out, which he announced on social media with the caption, “Every goodbye becomes a line between memories and life.”
In this post, he looked back on his journey as a radio host by writing a heartfelt message and sharing photos of him and his co-hosts, Tony Toni, Slick Rick, Gino Quillamor, and Tin Gamboa through the years.
“I consider myself lucky to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Though the feeling may be bittersweet, it has been an amazing 17-year journey but we must accept the end of something in order to begin to start something new,” he wrote.
He went on by thanking his radio partners, Tony Toni, Slick Rick, and Quillamor, “You guys have always been there thru the highs and lows. You’ve seen me grow from a college kid to who I am today. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons you have taught me.”

Sam also gave a special mention to Magic 89.9’s Chief Operations Officer, Andrew Santiago, “#BNOforLIFE: You never really leave the place and the people you love. You take part of it with you and leave part of you there. I love you guys and you know that—and that includes you Boss @stationguy899.”
The radio and TV personality expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the listeners of Boys Night Out, whom he said inspired him to give his “100%” energy every night he’s on air.
“Whether you listened to the show once in your life or youv’ve listened more than 10,000 times, I appreciate you. Thank you for also being part of my journey.”

He even mentioned his wife, Essa Santos, whom he called his “rock and wife,” to thank her for always listening to him on air and standing by his side.
The 39-year-old concluded his post with a bittersweet yet inspiring message, “Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream no [one] can see but you. And you can’t always wait for the perfect time..you have to go out and dare to do it because life is too short to wonder what could’ve been. Thanks for the memories.”
In the comments section, fans left farewell messages, while his co-hosts wished him luck on his future plans.
