Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome the Jet Stream. I'm Jennay Cochley alongside
my co host every single week Jet Legend, a Ring
of Honor member, one of the best to play the game,
one of the best people off the field. I'm talking
about Marty Lyons and Marty. As you can see, we
have a really special guest today. We have Royalty on
(00:20):
this show, a Wu Tang original, a Grammy winner, an
actor and icon in one of the smoothest voices to
ever touch the mic. And Marty he's also now an
NFL photographer. The man can do it all. I'm talking
about method man, nothing man. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Thank you for that. Andrew, you are far too kind.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Just count the truth man.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
She could have just stopped and said, my one of
my best friends and then.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Also Marty's best friend. Marty. Hey, all right, First, I
gotta ask you, how did this photographer position come about?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Combo of the Jets in the NFL. I've actually done
work for the NFL before the playoff chase, after you know, postseason.
I do the wraparounds for the season and then every
week do a detailed commentary on the games that were played.
Who's going, Who's not. Also, I did the thirty for thirty,
(01:19):
I know, the Sack Exchange which I come on that
was ESPN. But still that was like woof. You know,
I was so honored to do that, and I actually
hit Marty to let him know that I was doing it,
you know, sort of like asking for approval at the
same time, you know, letting him know that it was
in Sapans. You know.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, well, you know one thing, that's man, I really
enjoy your company, but I was looking back. You were
born in Hempstead in nineteen seventy one. Was that over
at Mercy Hospital.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I wasn't at Mercy No, I was born in Meadowbrook
Hospital as oh okay, yeah, yeah yeah, but raised in
Hempstead for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, because that my first house I bought when I
got drafted was over in Freeport and my son was born.
My first son was born over there at Mercy Hospital
in eighty two on March fourth.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
My cousin was born there about five years later at
Mercy Hospital.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, we were scared of Mercy Hospital at least the
rumor was they weren't that good.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Well, getting back to that thirty for thirty, the voiceover
was just absolutely incredible, and I know that Abdull was
looking down when you paid tribute to him at the end.
That was something special. And you know, people to do voiceover,
they just have an unbelievable talent to be able to
take a script and make it their own so that
(02:37):
you bring all the listeners right in.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, it was kind of easy for me because, like
I said, as an eight year old growing up in
Long Island, the Jets actually belonged to us, and that
was how we felt about it. I mean, Queen's a
little bit, but Long Island that was our team and
so every word, every inflection, every bit of emotion was real,
(03:03):
because yeah, man, I think you guys deserved that and more.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
What's your earliest Jet memory? Sorry you said, you know what?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It was Richard Todd and we were one play away
from advancing and aj Dewey just killed us that day. Yeah,
and I think that was the only play he made
that day.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, No, he had two others.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, they had five interceptions on the afternoon. People hate, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
My god, Richard Todd so much, but yeah, five interceptions
will do that.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, And then we had that, We had the nice
run with Rex. Ryan got to the ABC Championship game
back to years lost to the Steelers, and we.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Were all on Rex's train. We were all with them
on that one, right there.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Man, Yes, sir, So what's it like being a Jets fan?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It could be frustrating to keep it the bup. I mean, honestly,
I said this recently, and it's not even a slide
against the team, but I said that the show isn't
worth the price of admission. And I think a lot
of fans can agree with me on that, especially long
term Jet fans. And we just want to see better,
(04:14):
that's all. And we're not questioning those athletes because those
are finely tuned machines on that field. It takes a
lot to make it into the NFL, you know, But
we would love to see, you know, the same things
we see and other other franchises do, you know, like
put on the show for us, let us, let us
see what our team is really about. Defensively, we've always
(04:35):
been solid in my opinion. We've had a little lapses
here and there, but we've always been solid, and we
just want to see the offense put the show on.
We would love our own greatest show on turf.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And what do you think about the news that's leaking
out now it's only Monday that Justin Fields is going
to be benched, Tyrod Taylor is supposed to be starting
against the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I agree with anything that would push this team's agenda forward,
whatever that agenda is. And again, I'm not here to
question what decisions these guys make. As a fan, I know,
I just want to see w's up on that board
and the best players in position for the win.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Do you remember what's your favorite Marty Lyons play? What
can you tell me about watching Marty Lyons as.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
A kid, Marty checking someone on the sidelines. It was
mostly Mark, So that is my fondest memory. We know
that Marty was a team guy and a lot of
that is missing in the NFL today. And there are
a lot of team guys, don't get me wrong, but
the stat thing gets in the way and the guys
(05:39):
start to turn into numbers guys as opposed to team guys,
or they're more seventy thirty, you know, stats team, and
these guys were team guys, man. And it's like, I
don't know anyone. If Marty would ever decide he'd want
to coach for US, I don't know anyone that wouldn't
follow his lead based off of the way that he
held himself as a player.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well, I appreciate that, and I think playing alongside of
Joe Klecko for all those years, you know everything that
he did, and you got this witness part of it
on the thirty for thirty, but a lot of it
wasn't shown. He was such a team player, playing hurt,
playing every single down as if it was the most
important down.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh yeah, us as New Yorkers never questioned Joe's heart.
Any of you guys actually, and we know that you
would not do with unsung heroes. That really made a
lot of those sacks possible for these guys, or put
them in a comfort zone where they could get that
many sacks. Again, the New York sack exchange only one
never be another one like it.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Meth Man, thus clear up something for our listeners. How
did you get your name? Method man?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
We go back to the block bro, I mean the
block name, you know. And some people earn their name,
some people take their names. I was a taker. I
kind of took my name because the guy that had
it didn't represent it the right way. In my opinion,
so it became my ass debut.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, and then you got to watch your son play
football out there at Stonybrook also.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Well, that was a thing we actually went. He got
the scholarship, but then COVID hit in somewhere in the shuffle.
He got lost. Thought sorry for the kid, but life
is lifing and he earned He learned a valuable lesson
losing his scholarship at stony Brook. But salute to those guys, man,
they've been making stars. I mean my boy Tyson, he
(07:33):
transferred to Indiana and he's doing pretty well for himself,
and stony Brook kind of coddled him and pushed them forward.
So shout out to those guys.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That's awesome. I always ask the athletes this question, when
did you know that you had made it?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh? Wow? Funny story. We performed at the Fever early
in our career. Disaster so much so that I was
in negotiations for my deal, which was supposed to be
one hundred and fifty one hundred and seventy five K.
I believe never seen that much money in my life.
But after that show, it kind of dwindled down to
seventy five K. I eventually got the money back. Up.
(08:07):
But we were on the road for so long our
first album, and you know, we were doing it like
fifteen passenger van style. Weren't any tour buses, and we
had to come back and perform at the Fever Again.
Me having PTSD about the Fever, it was, I was shaky.
I had a bit of anxiety about it. But when
we stepped in there, Mind you, the album had been
(08:29):
out about a month and by the time we stepped
back in there this second time, totally different energy, and
I was like, wow, we made it. Now, if you
know anything about disco Fever, this is a legendary clubs
closed now, but it was a legendary club that a
lot of our forefathers put kind of performed that and
(08:51):
set the trend of hip hop not being dead and
no matter in any shape form of fashion. So yeah,
it was the Fever Show. Definitely. That was the first
time I heard female scream like go to girls like us?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Why that was yeah, yeah, we were screaming. What was
What would you learn from that moment? Like you said,
because you messed, you went in and was a disaster,
but you still kept going. What did you learn from that?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Oh? Wow? Uh, never try to predict what's going to happen,
walk into every situation ready, But I don't know. I
just knew that at that point in time. I was happy.
It was a great night that night because I was like,
we did something tonight that that was fire right there,
(09:43):
and I hadn't looked back since.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah. And you know, I think when people look at
you and everything that you have accomplished and everything that
you get back to the community, I don't think anybody
would realize that you also collect comic books.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yes, I do, sir, And it's crazy because I recently
moved and my old house, I still have a lot
of my stuff in, basically the comic books, and I'm
debating now, like because it's a lot of them, and
it's the last thing we have to move out of
the house, and it's going to take a lot of work.
So now I'm debating on whether I still want to
keep them around for that nostalgic feeling, because honestly, everything's
(10:22):
digital now. Every issue that I have I could actually
read online. But it's just the work that went into
putting all those comics in those bags and boarding them
and not just boarding them, reading them, certain issues, things
of that nature. I never did it for you to
hold on to them and think that I had something
(10:44):
of value, something that I could sell later on. I
held on to them as shareish stories that I could
hold on for myself and then share with my kids
and my grandkids. But they're not interested. So long story short,
I still have the books on whether or keeping them
or not and bring them to the to our new house.
I don't think I have any space for it.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, well, well you wouldn't need a lot of space.
I hear you got what thirty thirty thousand books.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
It's dwindled since then. Oh my god, well we've moved
a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
So yeah, well you know what, I'm sure if you
went to a children's hospital and donated them to a
pediatric woid with your message and your understanding, and you
go in there and you see the kid, and you
see the parents, and you take your you know, and
deliver your message, that's something that the kids could hold
(11:37):
on to, not just now, but for future generations to
look at and to learn that really that's where we
came from. We didn't come from a digital world. You
and I did. Maybe the maybe Jane did, because she's
a lot younger than us.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I'm almost fifty. Come on.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
But when you have that printed material, it's like, you know,
I've been here Atlantic for twenty five years and I
always have a notebook and it's the day and what
goes transpires. Who did I call? And when we moved
out here five years ago, I had every book from
day one. And our good friend Katie that you know,
(12:20):
you wished her happy birthday and when she had her
first child, you know, Jenay. I call method Man when
I see people that love him, and I say, hey,
can you do me a favor? And it's like that
he sends him a video and you were loved by
so many people. Meth Man, you won't You don't realize it.
(12:41):
And a guy here he has he I was talking
to him about Methan Man. He goes, wait a minute,
I have a tad too, and he had a tad
too of the uh of the what was it?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The woe tang whang wh that thing is? You know what?
Quick quick fun fact that was voted the number one
logo recognizable logo in the world. I think either that
or the Rolling Stones. One of those we were the
second or first.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, that's what I said.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
He had it on his back and I immediately called
method man and he said, he left me. He send
me a thing back. Ryan. Hey, I'm one of your
fans also, But that's how cordial he is. Jenney getting
back to the people.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
What what when you hear that, meth man? What does
that make you feel?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
That? That that? Like? I said, I got a lot
of my moral code from my comic books.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You know, favorite comic book.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, of course it's Whop one e one that's the
first appearance of Wolverine. Yeah, but even spawn number one.
But I would say it costs you nothing to be nice,
cast you even less to smile, and if anything, that
smile brings more peace to yourself than it does anybody else,
(14:05):
you know. And if you could wear happy on the inside,
it shows on the outside. And I always know that
if you can just take a second out of twenty
five hours in a day, you could take a second
out of your town to be nice to someone. It's nothing.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Well, that's well said, well said.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I gotta go back to you being a photographer though.
With the Jets game, what was your favorite thing? What
was your favorite thing? Shooting?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Standing on the field for the whole game. Never done
that before, You've never done that outside of a high
school game. No, you're not allowed to do that. That
has nothing to do with it all.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
So here's the.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Thing, Like Marty could probably stand right there on the
sidelines with the team, but he's not walking the whole field. Oh,
around the whole perimeter. I mean we can't go on
I mean we can go on the field afterwards, but
the whole pre I mean I'm in the end zone
when touchdowns are being scored, and you know that's I'm
never that That is buck that is that is stuff
(15:03):
that was on my bucket list that I didn't even
know was on my bucket list until it was actually happening,
and I was like, I'm having a bucket list moment.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Right, Yes, And you got to see the game through
a different Yes, yes, I still prefer my seat.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Though you can't keep up with the actions sometimes it
was pretty The game is way quicker when you're down
there on the field, so much quicker.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
And so much more violent until you actually you feel
the impact of the players.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Absolutely, What did you do in the footsteps? Like you
can feel the footsteps Marty, I did not know that.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Matther Man, what did you What did you feel when
you heard the news about Nick man Goold passing away?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It hit me just as hard as any lifelong Jet fan.
I mean he started a jet and retired a jet.
I had, actually I had did a podcast I did
him in Marks podcast prior to any of this happening.
I think it was uh yeah, around last year. Very
cool dude, laid back, loved his style. My condolences to
his family.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
You will be missed, Yeah for sure. We talk about
your bucket list. What's another thing that you haven't done yet?
Your dream role is or something you haven't done that
you want to do.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Did Jets need a mascot? I would love to be
in a mascot soup for the Jets, like you know
what I mean. Just run the field and just harass
the opposite stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Like that flying around.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Ye be in competition with Fireman in jet Man, I know,
shout out to Fireman that and Jet many A. Yeah,
well you man, we appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Come on, I done, I got a couple more questions.
Can I have a couple more questions? Please?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Awesome? Awesome, awesome, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Come on, I don't get to talk to about the
man that often. We haven't even talked about him being
in this Hall of Fame for the Ring of Honor
for the fans.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, Joe, I didn't know there was one of those
until they actually gave me the call, and I was like, wow,
you know what, come to think of it. I've I've
been I've had season tickets since twenty twelve. That's a
lot of Jet money right there. Honestly, there was a
guy there that that was a fan since I think
(17:13):
like sixty seven. I forgot the guy's name. Kudos to him, though. Man,
to finally be honored, it's like that what I could say.
The feeling was, this is cool, you know. And then
the once I ran into this old cat, it really
started to hit me. It was like, holy cow, you
know this is It's like, I feel like I'm very
(17:36):
privileged right now, you know what I mean. This is
freaking fire. It was the coldest day though for a
game that day. But like I said, I took it
all in stride and very honored, man, very honored to
be honored by the team that I'd loved for decades.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Well, like I said, you're loved by a lot of people,
and I know that next time. Are you going to
be at the next home game? Yep, Well, well Janey's
over there in.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Her own world, in s in my own world.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I'm sure it's a rivalry game. I'm sure she would
love me. You come over and take a picture with it.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I would absolutely take a picture with her. You can
find me. I will be in the coaches club. Okay, okay, right,
I'll be.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
The crazy one with her press bog Hi Hi River,
just gang. Yeah. I have two more questions though, than
I promise I'll be done, because I've always wanted to
know this. If there is a track of yours that
you feel you never got enough love, that didn't get
enough love? Is it like a song that you wanted
to have that was your favorite that but didn't get
the love. Do you know what I'm saying? You have
(18:42):
so many great songs?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Mmm?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Man, I would say the what with Biggie Smalls and
I Got my mind made up with Tupac. Yeah, those
two songs right there? Those those Yeah, I would say
that a lot more. But people know them, people, I mean, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, I know them. And then my last question to
jets one, Sorry, Martin. Then all right, if you could
go back in history and change one jet moment, what
would it be?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
A J. Dewey period. We had a chance, man, We
had a chance man that did just that, did just
those five interceptions. Richard Todd throwing those five interceptions. I
wish we could just.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, it was really nice little run that year Cincinnati
and then we beat the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yes, oh we was a but we were some bad boys, man,
I'm telling you man, And I mean like those were
the years where we just fought to fight. Oh god,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, that's because we had that feeling of coming from
Hempstead training camp and I'm right, and the Softie Dog
and Greg budles Bar was right down the street.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Too young to know what those were, but they sounded fun.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
And also the Islanders that's in the early eight when
they won four Stanley Cubbs.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
And w W w F was big at the Coliseums.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah, are you a big wrestling fan?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I was? I was, but in my older age, I've
I've moved on to other things.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You were. You were like macho man, Randy Savage, Jake
the Snake, Roberts, Junkyard Dog.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Even after that, but prior to those guys as well,
Renee Gulay, my man, Bob Becker. Now before Bob Becklan,
it was what was his name.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Risco Brisco, the Briscoe brothers, The brisco brothers we had,
but Larry's Obisco who hit Bruno Sam Martino in the
head with a chair.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, I saw that live black and white TV. Yes,
and I was so angry with Larry's Obisco. I thought
he was the worst piece of crap on the planet.
I remember wrestling when the guys were fully out of shape,
but superthletic.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, But now it's a show.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It absolutely is the show.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
With his storyline, you can be a good guy for
a while, but then you'll always have to turn bad
so the fans can boo you.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
In turn, heel got to be a heel.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You gotta be a heel. And this great job putting
that put it, They put butts in seats. Man, Vince
McMahon started it. Now it's in great hands with triple
H and stuff. Yea, yeah, man, A guy's guy who
came from the business, who worked his way up from
the bottom to where he is now. Yeah, who wouldn't all.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Right, I will let you go down. One more thing,
What do you want to tell Jets fans as a
as a Jets fan yourself, what do you want to
tell the loyal Jets fans? Because you love this team,
I know you do.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
There's always hope, but then there's always hope, but then
there's delusion. We are not delusional. Just remember that. And
this draft is going to be very interesting. Can't wait,
can't wait?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
There it is Bart Scott method man. Seriously, you made
my entire like this is this is worth covering the Jets.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
There we go see see that Bart Scott in the
middle right there, right.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, Well, appreciate you and I want to get you
at one of my foundation functions. I know that the
kids would love to have you thereon even you know.
Your message is strong, you know, and and if people
hear it, they see it, they listen to it, you know.
And I'm going to take some of the contents that
you gave us today about smiling and the happiness.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Put it on a piece of wood, put your name
underneath it. Put it in in my office and when
people come in they remember that I have one that
I have up now it says you can always make
more money, you can't make more time, and that's the
only commodity we can't make more of. So value the
time that you have shared it with the loved ones,
(22:56):
and don't be afraid to share it with people you
don't know, because it might just be the neatest, coolest
thing that they have ever heard for that special moment, and.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The world needs more of that.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You're right about that. Thank you, guys.

Yeah, well, you know one thing, that's man, I really
enjoy your company, but I was looking back. You were
born in Hempstead in nineteen seventy one. Was that over
at Mercy Hospital.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I wasn't at Mercy No, I was born in Meadowbrook
Hospital as oh okay, yeah, yeah yeah, but raised in
Hempstead for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, because that my first house I bought when I
got drafted was over in Freeport and my son was born.
My first son was born over there at Mercy Hospital
in eighty two on March fourth.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
My cousin was born there about five years later at
Mercy Hospital.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, we were scared of Mercy Hospital at least the
rumor was they weren't that good.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Well, getting back to that thirty for thirty, the voiceover
was just absolutely incredible, and I know that Abdull was
looking down when you paid tribute to him at the end.
That was something special. And you know, people to do voiceover,
they just have an unbelievable talent to be able to
take a script and make it their own so that
(02:37):
you bring all the listeners right in.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, it was kind of easy for me because, like
I said, as an eight year old growing up in
Long Island, the Jets actually belonged to us, and that
was how we felt about it. I mean, Queen's a
little bit, but Long Island that was our team and
so every word, every inflection, every bit of emotion was real,
(03:03):
because yeah, man, I think you guys deserved that and more.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
What's your earliest Jet memory? Sorry you said, you know what?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It was Richard Todd and we were one play away
from advancing and aj Dewey just killed us that day. Yeah,
and I think that was the only play he made
that day.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, No, he had two others.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, they had five interceptions on the afternoon. People hate, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
My god, Richard Todd so much, but yeah, five interceptions
will do that.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, And then we had that, We had the nice
run with Rex. Ryan got to the ABC Championship game
back to years lost to the Steelers, and we.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Were all on Rex's train. We were all with them
on that one, right there.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Man, Yes, sir, So what's it like being a Jets fan?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It could be frustrating to keep it the bup. I mean, honestly,
I said this recently, and it's not even a slide
against the team, but I said that the show isn't
worth the price of admission. And I think a lot
of fans can agree with me on that, especially long
term Jet fans. And we just want to see better,
(04:14):
that's all. And we're not questioning those athletes because those
are finely tuned machines on that field. It takes a
lot to make it into the NFL, you know, But
we would love to see, you know, the same things
we see and other other franchises do, you know, like
put on the show for us, let us, let us
see what our team is really about. Defensively, we've always
(04:35):
been solid in my opinion. We've had a little lapses
here and there, but we've always been solid, and we
just want to see the offense put the show on.
We would love our own greatest show on turf.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And what do you think about the news that's leaking
out now it's only Monday that Justin Fields is going
to be benched, Tyrod Taylor is supposed to be starting
against the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I agree with anything that would push this team's agenda forward,
whatever that agenda is. And again, I'm not here to
question what decisions these guys make. As a fan, I know,
I just want to see w's up on that board
and the best players in position for the win.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Do you remember what's your favorite Marty Lyons play? What
can you tell me about watching Marty Lyons as.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
A kid, Marty checking someone on the sidelines. It was
mostly Mark, So that is my fondest memory. We know
that Marty was a team guy and a lot of
that is missing in the NFL today. And there are
a lot of team guys, don't get me wrong, but
the stat thing gets in the way and the guys
(05:39):
start to turn into numbers guys as opposed to team guys,
or they're more seventy thirty, you know, stats team, and
these guys were team guys, man. And it's like, I
don't know anyone. If Marty would ever decide he'd want
to coach for US, I don't know anyone that wouldn't
follow his lead based off of the way that he
held himself as a player.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well, I appreciate that, and I think playing alongside of
Joe Klecko for all those years, you know everything that
he did, and you got this witness part of it
on the thirty for thirty, but a lot of it
wasn't shown. He was such a team player, playing hurt,
playing every single down as if it was the most
important down.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh yeah, us as New Yorkers never questioned Joe's heart.
Any of you guys actually, and we know that you
would not do with unsung heroes. That really made a
lot of those sacks possible for these guys, or put
them in a comfort zone where they could get that
many sacks. Again, the New York sack exchange only one
never be another one like it.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Meth Man, thus clear up something for our listeners. How
did you get your name? Method man?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
We go back to the block bro, I mean the
block name, you know. And some people earn their name,
some people take their names. I was a taker. I
kind of took my name because the guy that had
it didn't represent it the right way. In my opinion,
so it became my ass debut.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yeah, and then you got to watch your son play
football out there at Stonybrook also.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Well, that was a thing we actually went. He got
the scholarship, but then COVID hit in somewhere in the shuffle.
He got lost. Thought sorry for the kid, but life
is lifing and he earned He learned a valuable lesson
losing his scholarship at stony Brook. But salute to those guys, man,
they've been making stars. I mean my boy Tyson, he
(07:33):
transferred to Indiana and he's doing pretty well for himself,
and stony Brook kind of coddled him and pushed them forward.
So shout out to those guys.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That's awesome. I always ask the athletes this question, when
did you know that you had made it?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh? Wow? Funny story. We performed at the Fever early
in our career. Disaster so much so that I was
in negotiations for my deal, which was supposed to be
one hundred and fifty one hundred and seventy five K.
I believe never seen that much money in my life.
But after that show, it kind of dwindled down to
seventy five K. I eventually got the money back. Up.
(08:07):
But we were on the road for so long our
first album, and you know, we were doing it like
fifteen passenger van style. Weren't any tour buses, and we
had to come back and perform at the Fever Again.
Me having PTSD about the Fever, it was, I was shaky.
I had a bit of anxiety about it. But when
we stepped in there, Mind you, the album had been
(08:29):
out about a month and by the time we stepped
back in there this second time, totally different energy, and
I was like, wow, we made it. Now, if you
know anything about disco Fever, this is a legendary clubs
closed now, but it was a legendary club that a
lot of our forefathers put kind of performed that and
(08:51):
set the trend of hip hop not being dead and
no matter in any shape form of fashion. So yeah,
it was the Fever Show. Definitely. That was the first
time I heard female scream like go to girls like us?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Why that was yeah, yeah, we were screaming. What was
What would you learn from that moment? Like you said,
because you messed, you went in and was a disaster,
but you still kept going. What did you learn from that?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Oh? Wow? Uh, never try to predict what's going to happen,
walk into every situation ready, But I don't know. I
just knew that at that point in time. I was happy.
It was a great night that night because I was like,
we did something tonight that that was fire right there,
(09:43):
and I hadn't looked back since.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah. And you know, I think when people look at
you and everything that you have accomplished and everything that
you get back to the community, I don't think anybody
would realize that you also collect comic books.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yes, I do, sir, And it's crazy because I recently
moved and my old house, I still have a lot
of my stuff in, basically the comic books, and I'm
debating now, like because it's a lot of them, and
it's the last thing we have to move out of
the house, and it's going to take a lot of work.
So now I'm debating on whether I still want to
keep them around for that nostalgic feeling, because honestly, everything's
(10:22):
digital now. Every issue that I have I could actually
read online. But it's just the work that went into
putting all those comics in those bags and boarding them
and not just boarding them, reading them, certain issues, things
of that nature. I never did it for you to
hold on to them and think that I had something
(10:44):
of value, something that I could sell later on. I
held on to them as shareish stories that I could
hold on for myself and then share with my kids
and my grandkids. But they're not interested. So long story short,
I still have the books on whether or keeping them
or not and bring them to the to our new house.
I don't think I have any space for it.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, well, well you wouldn't need a lot of space.
I hear you got what thirty thirty thousand books.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
It's dwindled since then. Oh my god, well we've moved
a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
So yeah, well you know what, I'm sure if you
went to a children's hospital and donated them to a
pediatric woid with your message and your understanding, and you
go in there and you see the kid, and you
see the parents, and you take your you know, and
deliver your message, that's something that the kids could hold
(11:37):
on to, not just now, but for future generations to
look at and to learn that really that's where we
came from. We didn't come from a digital world. You
and I did. Maybe the maybe Jane did, because she's
a lot younger than us.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I'm almost fifty. Come on.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
But when you have that printed material, it's like, you know,
I've been here Atlantic for twenty five years and I
always have a notebook and it's the day and what
goes transpires. Who did I call? And when we moved
out here five years ago, I had every book from
day one. And our good friend Katie that you know,
(12:20):
you wished her happy birthday and when she had her
first child, you know, Jenay. I call method Man when
I see people that love him, and I say, hey,
can you do me a favor? And it's like that
he sends him a video and you were loved by
so many people. Meth Man, you won't You don't realize it.
(12:41):
And a guy here he has he I was talking
to him about Methan Man. He goes, wait a minute,
I have a tad too, and he had a tad
too of the uh of the what was it?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The woe tang whang wh that thing is? You know what?
Quick quick fun fact that was voted the number one
logo recognizable logo in the world. I think either that
or the Rolling Stones. One of those we were the
second or first.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, that's what I said.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
He had it on his back and I immediately called
method man and he said, he left me. He send
me a thing back. Ryan. Hey, I'm one of your
fans also, But that's how cordial he is. Jenney getting
back to the people.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
What what when you hear that, meth man? What does
that make you feel?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
That? That that? Like? I said, I got a lot
of my moral code from my comic books.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You know, favorite comic book.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, of course it's Whop one e one that's the
first appearance of Wolverine. Yeah, but even spawn number one.
But I would say it costs you nothing to be nice,
cast you even less to smile, and if anything, that
smile brings more peace to yourself than it does anybody else,
(14:05):
you know. And if you could wear happy on the inside,
it shows on the outside. And I always know that
if you can just take a second out of twenty
five hours in a day, you could take a second
out of your town to be nice to someone. It's nothing.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Well, that's well said, well said.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I gotta go back to you being a photographer though.
With the Jets game, what was your favorite thing? What
was your favorite thing? Shooting?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Standing on the field for the whole game. Never done
that before, You've never done that outside of a high
school game. No, you're not allowed to do that. That
has nothing to do with it all.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
So here's the.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Thing, Like Marty could probably stand right there on the
sidelines with the team, but he's not walking the whole field. Oh,
around the whole perimeter. I mean we can't go on
I mean we can go on the field afterwards, but
the whole pre I mean I'm in the end zone
when touchdowns are being scored, and you know that's I'm
never that That is buck that is that is stuff
(15:03):
that was on my bucket list that I didn't even
know was on my bucket list until it was actually happening,
and I was like, I'm having a bucket list moment.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Right, Yes, And you got to see the game through
a different Yes, yes, I still prefer my seat.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Though you can't keep up with the actions sometimes it
was pretty The game is way quicker when you're down
there on the field, so much quicker.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
And so much more violent until you actually you feel
the impact of the players.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Absolutely, What did you do in the footsteps? Like you
can feel the footsteps Marty, I did not know that.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Matther Man, what did you What did you feel when
you heard the news about Nick man Goold passing away?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It hit me just as hard as any lifelong Jet fan.
I mean he started a jet and retired a jet.
I had, actually I had did a podcast I did
him in Marks podcast prior to any of this happening.
I think it was uh yeah, around last year. Very
cool dude, laid back, loved his style. My condolences to
his family.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
You will be missed, Yeah for sure. We talk about
your bucket list. What's another thing that you haven't done yet?
Your dream role is or something you haven't done that
you want to do.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Did Jets need a mascot? I would love to be
in a mascot soup for the Jets, like you know
what I mean. Just run the field and just harass
the opposite stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Like that flying around.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Ye be in competition with Fireman in jet Man, I know,
shout out to Fireman that and Jet many A. Yeah,
well you man, we appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Come on, I done, I got a couple more questions.
Can I have a couple more questions? Please?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Awesome? Awesome, awesome, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Come on, I don't get to talk to about the
man that often. We haven't even talked about him being
in this Hall of Fame for the Ring of Honor
for the fans.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, Joe, I didn't know there was one of those
until they actually gave me the call, and I was like, wow,
you know what, come to think of it. I've I've
been I've had season tickets since twenty twelve. That's a
lot of Jet money right there. Honestly, there was a
guy there that that was a fan since I think
(17:13):
like sixty seven. I forgot the guy's name. Kudos to him, though. Man,
to finally be honored, it's like that what I could say.
The feeling was, this is cool, you know. And then
the once I ran into this old cat, it really
started to hit me. It was like, holy cow, you
know this is It's like, I feel like I'm very
(17:36):
privileged right now, you know what I mean. This is
freaking fire. It was the coldest day though for a
game that day. But like I said, I took it
all in stride and very honored, man, very honored to
be honored by the team that I'd loved for decades.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Well, like I said, you're loved by a lot of people,
and I know that next time. Are you going to
be at the next home game? Yep, Well, well Janey's
over there in.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Her own world, in s in my own world.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I'm sure it's a rivalry game. I'm sure she would
love me. You come over and take a picture with it.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I would absolutely take a picture with her. You can
find me. I will be in the coaches club. Okay, okay, right,
I'll be.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
The crazy one with her press bog Hi Hi River,
just gang. Yeah. I have two more questions though, than
I promise I'll be done, because I've always wanted to
know this. If there is a track of yours that
you feel you never got enough love, that didn't get
enough love? Is it like a song that you wanted
to have that was your favorite that but didn't get
the love. Do you know what I'm saying? You have
(18:42):
so many great songs?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Mmm?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Man, I would say the what with Biggie Smalls and
I Got my mind made up with Tupac. Yeah, those
two songs right there? Those those Yeah, I would say
that a lot more. But people know them, people, I mean, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, I know them. And then my last question to
jets one, Sorry, Martin. Then all right, if you could
go back in history and change one jet moment, what
would it be?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
A J. Dewey period. We had a chance, man, We
had a chance man that did just that, did just
those five interceptions. Richard Todd throwing those five interceptions. I
wish we could just.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah, it was really nice little run that year Cincinnati
and then we beat the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yes, oh we was a but we were some bad boys, man,
I'm telling you man, And I mean like those were
the years where we just fought to fight. Oh god,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, that's because we had that feeling of coming from
Hempstead training camp and I'm right, and the Softie Dog
and Greg budles Bar was right down the street.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Too young to know what those were, but they sounded fun.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
And also the Islanders that's in the early eight when
they won four Stanley Cubbs.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
And w W w F was big at the Coliseums.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah, are you a big wrestling fan?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I was? I was, but in my older age, I've
I've moved on to other things.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You were. You were like macho man, Randy Savage, Jake
the Snake, Roberts, Junkyard Dog.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Even after that, but prior to those guys as well,
Renee Gulay, my man, Bob Becker. Now before Bob Becklan,
it was what was his name.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Risco Brisco, the Briscoe brothers, The brisco brothers we had,
but Larry's Obisco who hit Bruno Sam Martino in the
head with a chair.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, I saw that live black and white TV. Yes,
and I was so angry with Larry's Obisco. I thought
he was the worst piece of crap on the planet.
I remember wrestling when the guys were fully out of shape,
but superthletic.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, But now it's a show.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It absolutely is the show.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
With his storyline, you can be a good guy for
a while, but then you'll always have to turn bad
so the fans can boo you.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
In turn, heel got to be a heel.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
You gotta be a heel. And this great job putting
that put it, They put butts in seats. Man, Vince
McMahon started it. Now it's in great hands with triple
H and stuff. Yea, yeah, man, A guy's guy who
came from the business, who worked his way up from
the bottom to where he is now. Yeah, who wouldn't all.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Right, I will let you go down. One more thing,
What do you want to tell Jets fans as a
as a Jets fan yourself, what do you want to
tell the loyal Jets fans? Because you love this team,
I know you do.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
There's always hope, but then there's always hope, but then
there's delusion. We are not delusional. Just remember that. And
this draft is going to be very interesting. Can't wait,
can't wait?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
There it is Bart Scott method man. Seriously, you made
my entire like this is this is worth covering the Jets.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
There we go see see that Bart Scott in the
middle right there, right.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, Well, appreciate you and I want to get you
at one of my foundation functions. I know that the
kids would love to have you thereon even you know.
Your message is strong, you know, and and if people
hear it, they see it, they listen to it, you know.
And I'm going to take some of the contents that
you gave us today about smiling and the happiness.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Put it on a piece of wood, put your name
underneath it. Put it in in my office and when
people come in they remember that I have one that
I have up now it says you can always make
more money, you can't make more time, and that's the
only commodity we can't make more of. So value the
time that you have shared it with the loved ones,
(22:56):
and don't be afraid to share it with people you
don't know, because it might just be the neatest, coolest
thing that they have ever heard for that special moment, and.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The world needs more of that.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You're right about that. Thank you, guys.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
