Back From Vacation… By Hoch
August 4th, 2008
Not that anyone noticed, but I was on vacation the last two weeks. Took the family on a road trip in the old family truckster. We drove around for the past 14 days… A few days in Daytona Beach… a day in Savannah… a week in North Carolina…. a couple days in Charleston…. and ended the trip with a couple days in Orlando. Good times with the wife and kid, but I’m definitely glad to be home.
A couple of observations from the trip: Charleston, South Carolina is the hottest place on earth. Maggie Valley, North Carolina has a perfect temperature. Dillsboro, North Carolina has a great smokehouse where I got a pulled chicken sandwich that I’m still thinking about. The tour of Daytona International Speedway was interesting… I’m amazed at how high and narrow the turns are. Makes me appreciate Nascar much more. The sweet tea at Beacon’s Drive In in Spartanburg, South Carolina is the greatest thing you will ever drink in your life. Seriously.
We went to see a minor league baseball game– and that was fun. We saw the Charleston River Dogs against the Hickory Craw Dads. And yes, I paid for the tickets; I didn’t get them for free. Minor league baseball in a different city is always a cool thing to do with your kid. We went to Daytona Lagoon Water Park in Daytona Beach… Much fun, but I’ve realized I’m at a stage in my life where I refuse to be photographed with my shirt off. Just too painful. I added to my man boobs throughout the trip by eating andouille sausage in Savannah… fried blue crab claws in Charleston… and a deep fried Snickers bar in North Carolina.
I had seen deep fried Snickers bars on TV before… You know those specials where they show “World’s Greatest Fried Foods.” I had never intended to try a deep fried Snickers bar, because I do have some dignity… but we were at an amusement park in North Carolina called “Ghost Town in The Sky.” (A fun park—- Wild West themed, of course.) I was in line to buy some ice cream for my wife and son when the man in front of me ordered a deep fried Snickers bar. Before I could even think, my body reacted by blurting out, “I’ll take one of those deep fried Snickers bars too.” They put a stick in the Snickers bar, then roll it in some batter, and then pop it in the deep fryer. And when it comes out, it’s heaven on a stick. The outside batter was soft like a donut… the inside was a mushy, gushy, array of chocolate and peanuts, and whatever else is in a Snickers bar. Anyway, it’s good. I want another one.
But now I’m back… Back in time for the continuing Brett Favre Saga… Back in time to root for Jason Taylor to have a pro-bowl season…. Back in time to watch the Olympics. (Yes, I’m excited to watch.) And back in time to see the latest version of Beverly Hills 90210.

Dude…deep fried snickers bar was a baddddd choice…what were you thinking?
2. Ryan Morgan | August 4th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
The only thing better than a deep fried Snickers bar is a deep fried Snickers bar sandwich made with two Krispy Kreme donuts.

Can we deep fry Pinto? We should have kept JT…the Marlins could have signed so, everytime Pinto walks someone, gives up a run or hits a player JT could charge the mound and tackle him.
What do I have to do to see the Marlins when an easy game? I going to take my keyboard and throw it at the monitor!!!

Welcome back Mr Hochman. We’ve missed you. When Dan was on PTI and Stu Gotz was running the show by himself, wow. I was exhausted just listening to it. Charleston, SC is the greatest place on Earth.
5. manuel | August 4th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Hoch,
Like I said in the previous blog, i’m GLAD you are back. Dan and Stugotz have lost all sense of pop culture “fun talk” and have dragged on their stupid heated argument about Favre for weeks.
Long live Hochamania!
PS F. U. Hermida…0-4 4ks. You suck!
6. King of Loserville | August 4th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Don’t forget Cody Ross…and Luis Gonzalez…1-1 against the pitcher yesterday…good call Freddy…
Sometimes I think i am watching the Bad News Bears as adults…
These guys each have a baseball IQ of 50…i think I know why they don’t allow you to see pratice…casue there is no batting practice.
7. King of Loserville | August 4th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Hoch you have come back to the biggest shit storm of bordum…Lebby and Stu have talked about how cool the marlins are, asked for manny songs, talked Brett Farve till I was on suicide watch, and overall sucked worse them the 50 guys in the Marlins bullpen.
Oh that’s right they had the man with less of a personality then The 790 Evening Turd, Kevin Gregg, and “Hermy”…and all they could ask is if this team was cool!!
Seriously if there is a price that I could offer you to never go vacation again I will panhandle my ass off to get it for you.
These guys left to their own devices sound like a candy asses!!!
Dan sounds like Oldberg…and Stu sounds like he is playing solotire and ocassionally listening to what Dan is saying.
Good job my Mike Ryan, but there is only one Living Legend, Only One Huckster, Only One Man who could put the Muffin in Horse Muffins…Marc Hochman….!!!!
8. Jose Can-snitch-o | August 4th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Could you please look into getting Sedano’s hours reduced. I know he’s Cuban and, therefore, beloved by Dan, but Sedano is really turning 790 into 560. He’s putrid! Have you listened to his show? He’s not analytical; he’s not funny; he’s not a good speaker. For crying out loud, get Kevin Rogers an additional hour. As soon as I hear Jorge Sedano on the airwaves, I turn the station. And I don’t want to NOT support 790. Sedano is unbearable! Arrrrrrrgh!
9. cc | August 4th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
I would lsiten to all those guys 24-7 rather then an hour with Zaslow
10. sandeel | August 4th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Welcome back, Hoch.
I’m reading this blog while in the middle of my own 14-day family road trip. In South Carolina today and heading to DC tomorrow and upstate New York at the end of the week. Maybe I’ll search for Sid in the Catskills.
11. Hassenpfeffer | August 5th, 2008 at 11:03 am
I aggree with King and others. Please these guys should not be left on there own. Can you please put an end to the Brett Farve talk until he is traded to the Jets.
12. Hassenpfeffer | August 5th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Really not into sweets but I would like to hear more about the smokehouse. Was the sauce red or yellow. What did they use to smoke. Hickory, apple wood, peach wood? BAR B Que I could it that everyday.
13. omg | August 5th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
dollar fun… your a dollar fag. Shut up about Dania
14. Hassenpfeffer | August 5th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
OMG, I guess you never went. You can never beat a beer for a buck.
15. Hoch | August 6th, 2008 at 1:12 am
THE NEXT JAI ALAI NIGHT IS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20TH…
16. cc | August 6th, 2008 at 3:12 am
Welcome back Hoch . Why put Zas on at 10 and not Guzio ?
17. Hassenpfeffer | August 6th, 2008 at 6:09 am
I will be there with the Hassamanics. LOL
Hoch, is there anyway you can get get some kind of betting seminar for those of us that suck at betting on Jai Alai? How about Dan’s dad or one of the degerate gamblal
18. Hassenpfeffer | August 6th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Whoops hit the wrong key. Lets try this again.
Hoch, is there anyway you can get get some kind of betting seminar for those of us that suck at betting on Jai Alai? How about Dan’s dad or one of the degerate gamblers from the station or friend of the show.
Also special guest. Can you inprove on guys from the station? Really Ethan and the cast of 790 I don’t consider special guest. Welcomed but considering you have had Luther, TO, Joey and Kimbo at events. The poker event as fantatic as it was, was lacking in star appeal. Sorry. Wouldn’t that be a great place for Samson to promote Marlins baseball? He should give out free Fish tickets for movie/baseball trivia.
Good news the Marlins are in SF on that date so Zas will be stinking up the airways and not be bringing his stench to Dania.
It’s good to see the Marlins finally solved Moyer. GO FISH!!! GO HOCHAMANICS!!!! Jai Alai is coming soon.
19. manuel | August 6th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
I’m really starting to develop a love/hate relationship with Hermida. How can this guy go 0-4 with 4ks on Sunday and comeback last night and drive in 4. Talk about being a schizo.
I’m going to try to make this Jai-Alai. I made the first one and just missed the 2nd one because it was raining like crazy and I didn’t want to drive in that from WPB. Hass, if I show, I’ll splurge a $1 for ya and get you a bud.
Now, I may get hated for this; but i’m sure i’m about to say what other people are thinking. I’m sure if Hoch reads the comments (doubt it); but if he does, he’s probably annoyed by it as well at this point. What am I talking about? Not the normal commentary on Zas provided smartly by Hass or King; but the incessant dumb ass remarks that seemed to be typed up by a 5 year old by others.
Example?
16. cc | August 6th, 2008 at 3:12 am
Welcome back Hoch . Why put Zas on at 10 and not Guzio ?
CC, step it up brother. I looked over ALL OF YOUR POSTS, and you add nothing to this blog outside of the same old, tired ass, lame Zas remark.
WE GET IT!
There are others and I don’t want to just start listing because it bores me frankly. Either be smart or funny or move on. It makes you sound every bit as ignorant as the airwave polluter does in the evening.
20. TC | August 6th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Good job Manual
I dont know about you guys, but I can’t get enough of the Limited Rick Sanchez, Channel 7 news. I dont know why, but it slays me. I keep listening to it over and over again.
And its always good the hear the songs. Back down memory lane.
21. manuel | August 6th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
I wonder if Steve White reads the comments here, If he does, I hope he answers this question. If not, maybe some of you guys can give your opinion.
I don’t like it when a host goes on vacation, say Sid and the entire line up gets shuffled. When I turn on the internet or the radio at 10, I expect to hear KRog. The same with Sedano at his normal timeslot. Moving them down is the equivalent of a TV show being on reruns and thus moving a show from a later timeslot into that one. It breaks the consistency.
Why not just have substitute hosts. I liked how earlier in the week we got Misch. It was different and kept the rest of the day on par with the normal schedule.
That leads me to the horror of looking at the picture under “ON AIR NOW”. Yikes, get that overbite looked at dude.
22. Hassenpfeffer | August 6th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
manuel, Hoch does read the comments.
Actually I don’t get to listen K-Rog anymore since he went to mornings. So it was nice to hear him. Really though in the mornings Defo is the man. 640AM
23. manuel | August 6th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
The Sueys are tough this year man.
The best song is absolutely brutal.
I can’t decide between Queen, Rick Springfield and the Stugotz song.
What are some of your favorites?
24. Hassenpfeffer | August 6th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I already emailed the show and bitched about not having Fake Guns Jai Alia song didn’t make the list.
25. manuel | August 6th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
That’s a good one Hass.
I also e-mailed Hoch today because I felt that in the “what the hell he just said” category, we’re missing Dan’s stupid line to the Amazing Jonathan of “bullies? bullies? biff”. That makes me laugh every time.
26. Hoch | August 6th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
The Amazing Jonathan/Biff/Bullies clip is in the Uncomfortable Moments category.
27. manuel | August 6th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Yes!!
Thanks Hoch!!~!
28. Hassenpfeffer | August 6th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
See I told ya he reads the comments.
29. King of Loserville | August 6th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Hoch,
Do you have a Best “Nailed it” Moment? I sent Stu a number of times where he and Dan really “nailed it” with their predicts.
HE said that it might become a suey category.
You know when you read that bit about the Heat where all the reporters said that the Heat we going to be terrible and Stu said something like “are you kidding me”…or when the Back Peddler said the Giants would looks to Tampa Bay, then Dallas, then Green Bay and then had the nerve to write in the Herald that he was taking the Giants to win.

“Zero percent chance that Randy Shannon becomes the coach of the ‘Canes”
31. King of Loserville | August 7th, 2008 at 1:26 am
Bingo…now that’s a category!!!
32. Hassenpfeffer | August 7th, 2008 at 5:41 am
Not only would Randy not become the coach but the reason was he was black. I think Randy is the coach for life at the canes. We won’t see a new coach of the Canes for at least 20 years. That’s my nail it moment.
Speaking of nailing it; I did say in post 11 that Farve would go to the Jets. I nailed it, can I get in on that. I just wish Zach and JT were still on the Dolphins to take the supreme asshole, redneck, prick, diva’s head off, two times this year. I hate Diva Farve and I have the Jets. I just with the crappy team the Jets are that Brett will not make it though the end of the season. He will be out by week 8 or sooner. If not by then week 10 against the Pats he is gone. NO MORE FOOTBALL FOR BRETT.
Here is my personal issue with Brett. HE IS A PSYCHO ASSHOLE. Let’s start with the tears and talking retirement for the last 4 years and didn’t do it till March of 08. He treated all his underling QB’s like shit. Sorry, I have I have managed people for over 20 years and always emissive to my employees and in my management style to share your knowledge to new comers. That is how you build a great team. NOT BRETT. Brett was “it’s not my job”. So Fucker Brett if you had a season ending injury you didn’t want you team to be better from the guy taking your place so they could win? Yep it’s all about Brett. We just saw all that with everything you have done in the past. Hell you treated Kurt Werner the leader of the “Greatest Show on Turf” a third stinger, like shit, no threat to you. A bag boy, a Jesus freak, and you dissed him. I don’t wish you paralleled but if it happened I wouldn’t shed a tear. After all you reap what you sow and you have sowed contempt. After all you did want to be traded in your division, to in my opinion hurt the team and fans that made you a millionaire superstar. Brett you fucked the fans that adorned you for years now feel cheated, all for your own EGO. You know I have heard more bad things from people that met Marino than good but he still is adorned here. (BTW I never met Marino) WHY, because Dan went out with CLASS. I think the folks in GB will question your motives in the future about coming back. I think the good Packer fans will come to realize that you really are an arrogant, white trash, redneck, ASS. So when all is said and done Brett pop some more bills and then when you are exposed, start crying and start spouting crap about you love for this or that. You really are trailer trash with to much money. You should really hook up with Britney Spears.
BTW…after my rant; is there going to be a special Frank Caliendo section? I think it’s unfair to put his fakes against the local fakes.
33. Hassenpfeffer | August 7th, 2008 at 6:06 am
manuel, would you stop trying to be keeper of the blog? You post well but when TC, Hoops and other call out Zas, well it’s part of the blog. Just like when you are doing your woman and she gets those pussy farts. Yeah you don’t like it but it’s all good cuz its a good feeling. Not that TC and Hoops are pussy farts but the blog wouldn’t be the blog with out them trashing Zas. It’s just part of the blog and if you don’t like it sorry. Not that I think these guy are pussy farts but honestly I like to see the anti Zas input and I am guessing that Hoch does also….Well I am more than guessing… I know as Hoch is concerned, keep it coming. Keep bashing Zas.
If I am wrong Hoch tell us.
34. manuel | August 7th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Hass,
I’m not the keeper of the blog. We all CONTRIBUTE. I find it funny when Zas gets ripped, I rip him also.
At some point, however, you have to add humor or say originality to simply constantly saying the same old shit. Its not about being “keeper” or “judge” its about making it interesting.
If your only contribution is always “Zas shouldn’t be on at night, anyone but him” over and over and over and over without ever adding nuance or, hey I listened the other night and he said blank which was retarded…I’m entitled to think that is lame. No?
35. manuel | August 7th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Hass,
I agree 100% on your Favre rant (helluva rant btw lol). He is one pathetic old”er” man and I hope his numbers go back to what they were 2-3 years ago and he rides his sorry ass back to Mississippi.
36. manuel | August 7th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
BTW Hass,
this is a direct quote from Hoch in paragraph 1 of his “radio personalities” blog.
“(I warn you now- if this blog just becomes a tired, worn out Zaslow bashing response, I’m ending this blog forever.)”
37. Hassenpfeffer | August 7th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Yeah he made the same comment a few blogs ago. I still say it wouldn’t be a Hoch Blog without at least one, online Zas bashing comment for TC and hoops. Even if it is not cleaver.
38. TC | August 7th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
My Suey picks so far
Best Laugh: Michael Irvin
Best what the Hell: Okerland Blow it out your shorts followed by Buoniconti
Best Song: Queen followed by Huey Lewis
Best Limited Fake: Rick Sanchez followed by Bill Parcells
Best Hang up: Froemming followed by Butterbean
Best Wrestling: Heenan fired followed by Fake Jim Rome
39. Kingt of Loserville | August 7th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
My apropoe thing that A-Hole has said…his plug for Firehouse Subs…”I love the New York Steamer”
HAHAHA…man you are a turd!!!
40. Joey | August 8th, 2008 at 1:48 am
I cant wait to go to Hialeah Muvico. Never been there. That sounds like a good movie and a funny night.
41. Hassenpfeffer | August 8th, 2008 at 9:13 am
My Suey Picks and Why:
Michael Irvin
Well just because it was funny
Trick Daddy calls Michael Vick the greatest football player in history
Just so silly
Fake Jay Z sings about Wayne Huizenga
So True, Wayne just wants your $$$$
Limited Fake Milton from Office Space
Great movie, Great Fake
MLB umpire Bruce Froemming hangs up on the show
Great job by Dan at pushing the envelope
A Ric Flair interview gets so boring that Dan throws a water bottle in the studio
That is Ric, as you all know I took him to the airport years ago and Ric is not the same guy in real life as in the ring. He is very conservative and respectful with the public. He new my name but always adressed me as sir. Like I was above him. Hell I was a 21 year old Bellman.
Michael says black men shouldn’t be kickers in the NFL
Just because I am sure Stugoz had to leave the room
Tracy McGrady reveals he smells liquor on opposing players during games
It was the every night comment, would of liked to hear if he smelled weed on them also. Dan failed us again. Just like he didn’t follow up with Trick Daddy with the question “Did the wife go to the strip bar with you?”. Yeah I called in on that one. At least Dan did admit he failed us. Props to Dan for admitting his failings.
