59.Bonus-Interview with Rudy Rooney

 

Our next interviewee is with Rudy Rooney! Catch the interview below:

Rudy: "'Sup all. I'm Rudy but everyone calls me Rooney. I'm 29 this year and I live with my dog Pepper. I love the outdoors. Biking, hiking, skateboarding...these are some of my favourite pastimes."

Interviewer: "What do you do?"

Rudy: "I'm a professional biker."

Interviewer: "Tell me more. Is it like being part of a biker gang?"

Rudy: "Nah. I take part in mountain biking races. It's my passion. But I also do own a motorbike."

Interviewer: "Were you inspired by your parents?"

Rudy: "No. They own a pizzeria. But they were cool with it. My girlfriend Penny supports me too."

Interviewer: "Let's hear about your family."

Rudy: "Ok. My dad's called Bill and my mom's Winona. Like I said, they run a pizzeria. I'm a middle child. My oldest brother is Ronny and he helps out at the pizzeria. So me and my younger brother Joe have free rein."

Interviewer: "What does he do?"

Rudy: "Joe? He's a butcher."

Interviewer: "When were you born? Which month?"

Rudy: "Why you asking? Trying to get my SSN?"

Interviewer: "What? Of course not."

Rudy: "I'm just kidding with ya. I'm a Feb baby."

Interviewer: "What are your biggest wishes and fears?"

Rudy: "Biggest wishes? To give back to the community and for everyone to be more empathetic. I volunteer at a boys' home on weekends and I think there's so much heart and potential there. As for biggest fears, it would be to suffer a career-ending injury. I can't imagine life without biking."

Interviewer: "What would your biggest accomplishment be?"

Rudy: "When I saved up to get my first bike: a Specialised Rockhopper Elite 29. That baby is fast and most importantly cheap."

Interviewer: "For our next segment, we'll ask you about some of your favourite things."

Rudy: "Red on most days. Brown when I'm feeling adventurous."

Interviewer: "Favourite music genre."

Rudy: "Alternative rock."

Interviewer: "3 favourite songs."

Interviewer: "Favourite Smole season."

Rudy: "Season 33. I liked a lot of the missions, such as the blind shooters one. Plus it takes place in Appaloosa Plains. I've been there and I liked the vibe there. Very dog-friendly too."

Interviewer: "Favourite Mole."

Rudy: "Skye Lowe, from Season 12. He was a gutsy Mole and I think it's a shame we don't see much of that nowadays."

Interviewer: "We never got to find out why you're on the Smole."

Rudy: "I want to use this chance to travel and have a nice time."

Interviewer: "So what's your game plan?"

Rudy: "My game plan is to get everyone to lower their guards and trust me. The more information I have on my hands, the better."

Interviewer: "Hmm. Rudy, are you the Mole?"

Rudy: "Nah. Would be nice though."

Interviewer: "We'll find out soon enough. Thank you for tuning in to this interviewer. If you wish to learn more about Rudy and whether he's the Mole, do tune in to Season 59 when it airs."
