Thank You to Everyone... By Hoch

Most everyone who listens to the show knows that my dad passed away on August 29th. Lyle Hochman was not only my dad, but also my best friend and also my son's best friend. As you can imagine, it was (and is) tough to lose him. The days don't feel the same anymore... Watching sports doesn't feel the same anymore... Waking up in the morning doesn't feel the same anymore. I'm sure with time, wounds will heal, and as someone told me, "there will be a time when you think of your dad and you'll smile from ear to ear instead of feeling sad and empty the way you do now."
I just wanted to write a quick blog- not as a tribute to my dad- but rather as a tribute to the listeners who have a created such a great community around our show. After my dad died, I was inundated with e-mails, texts, and tweets (mostly from people I've never met) expressing their sympathy to me, and offering any help or assistance they could. People e-mailed me with stories of how they lost a loved one, and how they coped with it. More than one person e-mailed private thoughts they've had after dealing with the loss of a loved one- thoughts that they confided in me they had shared with no one before.
All the e-mails and texts and tweets truly helped me deal with my own personal loss. All the love from listeners was so important in helping me keep my sanity through the first few days, that I don't know how I would have dealt with everything without all the compassion from listeners.
I feel very lucky to be part of this quirky community we've created on the radio. We can all laugh together, make fun of stupid news stories, talk sports, talk reality tv shows, and generally have a good time. But after this ordeal, I have come to see that we have more than just a traditional radio/listener relationship. We really do have a community, and I can't fully explain to you how it all helped me so much.
I don't want to be maudlin- which is probably too late- but I did want to be gracious and thank everyone for the love. My dad is gone, and that sucks because I think this is going to be a Bears season that he would have loved. But now the healing must begin... and that healing rests on the shoulders of Jay Cutler!
Thank you to all for the love and support over the last 2 weeks, but now let's get back to our regular relationship. When you see me at an event, tell me the Rogaine is not working... tell me my songs aren't funny... tell me my man boobs are growing... then I'll know you really love me.

On September 14, 2008, I discovered that my home computer was hacked into by a Miami, FL radio station. It was 790 the ticket, WAXY. On the following day, I discovered that they stole everything from my computer including pictures, documents and were voyuering me and father at the time and was in my cell phones -- I was using a prepaid phone then later bought a Blackberry which they were also in. Also with my stolen documents, they with a help of one of their listeners, Hasenpfeffer aka John Pearson, an IT specialist with the largest Ford dealership in Miami, they made a web site that contained all my documents, pictures and also included with all the web sites I visited and their web site also allowed for anyone to see what I was typing and when and how many times I visited a certain web site. Dan LeBatard also gave out all my passwords to all of my on line accounts such as my banking and other private information to all his listeners. Also, with Dan LeBatard's media connections, ESPN, E! Network, MSNBC, Ryan Sea crest, The Miami Herald and many others also had knowledge of my hygiene habits along with all my daily activities. They circulated all my documents and picture throughout Florida and violated my privacy. They were in my life 24/7 and saw me in various stages of dress. Also, I might add, I have never published my picture or sent a picture out to anyone via web, but somehow, everyone knew or knows how what I look like. Still today, Seacrest and other shows, including Dan LeBatard base their shows around the information they stole from computer and the information on me that they saw through voyuring me. When I did file a complaint with FBI, they refuse to help me because LeBatard fooled them so much thinking that nothing was going on. Also, I found out that LeBatard had this through the fact they connected my computer to their system and connected my email to theirs by using a WAN mini port PPPoP. I also found on my computer the makings of a web site and a two lists which contained the most visited web sites I went to and another containing a list stating that I was a child molester , quick to anger, and prone to nudity just to name a few. Essentially, they saw everything and everyone who I email and what I emailed. They heard every conversation I had regardless if I was on the phone or not. They had invaded my privacy and I would really like some of your legal help in this matter. I would like all parties involved arrested and convicted. Also, at some of 790's sponsored events, they gave out some of my private documents to the listeners who attended their events in Florida Dania Jai Ali, and LeBatard read my resume on his show. They gave out to their listeners my banking information along with my passwords of all my internet accounts. They also gave out my phone numbers and all my private information including where I lived. Most all broadcast network stations have my information and I would like for someone to help me. I feel since they fooled the FBI that I have no one to turn to and could really use your help.
