Dirty Marty's sole interest is Roller Derby.
More specifically, the Charm City Roller Girls . Alongside his broadcast partner and secret crush Jimmy Valentine, Dirty Marty serves as an announcer for the Greatest Roller Derby League in The Greatest City In America. But you already know that, since you've been to all of the bouts, right?
Season Three continues to make you sweat:

Music:
First and foremost, The Holmeskillit --author and performer of the Dirty Marty Theme, Secret Crush Society , The Breakups
Movies:
The Big Sleep, Breaking the Waves, Big Trouble in Little China, Night of the Living Dead (1968), Kansas City Bomber, anything from Jim Jarmusch, John Waters, or Charlie Kauffman. Also anything old or creepy. Old and creepy is best.
Television:
"Ned and Stacey", "Newsradio", "Due South", "Arrested Development", "Get a Life". Oh, you mean what's on now? Well, there's "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report", most of Adult Swim, "TNA Impact", "My Name is Earl", and "The Office". Whatever is on The Science Channel. The only permissible reality series is "Rollergirls" . "Rollergirls" has been cancelled. There are no permissible reality shows.
And "Psych". "Psych" is really good. It may be the best non-Colbert show on television.

Heroes:
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one dayAnd you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is thatThough nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes,
just for one dayI, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one dayI, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads
(over our heads)
And we kissed,
as though nothing could fall
(nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes,
just for one dayWe can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be HeroesWe're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying,
then you better not stay
But we could be safer,
just for one dayOh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh,
just for one day
