This is my exclusive interview I gave my cousin. Only this site has this interview. This is kind of a cameo appearance on my site.Click the link if you would like to see his site, "Rupert and His Dirty Dozen".
JR: What was it like growing up in a small town in Northwestern Pennsylvania?
AR: Not too bad up until age 16 because you're amped to learn to drive until you get in the car and have
no where to go.
JR: What was family life like?
AR: Umm good, but being in a spread out family with 14 years difference from oldest to youngest it was
odd playing with friends growing up because they had Full House toys. You know toys modern at the time...but I
had Knightrider and the A-Team. So only now am I cooler than them......because Full House sucks.
JR: How many siblings do you have and how old are they?
AR: 3. Age 33, 29, and 25
JR: How was school while you were growing up?
AR: I went to the Grove, but was never really popular amongst people in my own grade. But was mcfriggin
awesome amongst younger people for my mad baseball skills and low reading ability.
JR: Mcfriggin?
AR: You know freaking with absolutely no chance for improvement like a job at McDonald's.
JR: OK
JR: Talk about some of your high school experiences.
AR: Umm well early in HS it was great going 33-3 in basketball with my buddy who now plays for Washington
State, but then baseball provided my favorite moment a a sophmore beating then #2 in the state Class AA
Mercyhurst Prep at their place on their senior day 5-4 and having 2 hits in the game.
AR: But for sheer HS fun in the building......
AR: I would have to say never taking a book home while in high school was nice along with many stories
that can be told on my site.
JR: Alright
AR: Okay, keep them churning.
JR: What is your favorite family story?
AR: The Ongoing Bob
Saget Drama at Celtic Fest.
JR: Tell me a little bit about that.
AR: I mean Bob, he appears to be a single guy who loves Irish Music he has a great time by himself at
Celtic Fest and I respect that. But he gets so excited almost bordering over excitied.
AR: I feel bad for him though because he needs to find himself a wife for Michelle, Stephanie, and
D.J.
JR: How is college going for you so far?
AR: Got a 3.5 GPA, got a solid group of friends, no serious ladies yet, play 4 intermural sports, but
having a good time with a party here and there. Plus we pull pranks all the time and have many non-useful
objects in our rooms.
JR: Expand on those useless items.
AR: The pimp stick ( a stick I found one day that we taped a gatorade bottle on and spray painted gold
and wrote our names on which my roommate broke one day while drunk).......we have a John Kerry cardboard cut-out
which we dress up with a beanie, a jacket, some shades, and always has a "Pitt Sucks" message and is smoking a
cigarette.
JR: Wonderful
JR: What is your major?
AR: I major in Sports Journalism and am still unsure on my minor.
JR: Where do you see yourself in ten years?
AR: Off the coast of the Carolinas in a bachelor pad, coaching high school baseball. That or
dead........you know, whichever comes first.
JR: What are you planning on doing on your 21st birthday?
AR: I'll be at State College and I think it's a weekend so there will be lots of parties.......what does
everyone else do on their 21st birthday........watch previously taped Price is Right episodes.
JR: Isn't that what everyone does?
AR: No, most people watch Let's Make a Deal.
JR: Ok, so my 21st will be a little bit different.
JR: I'll be having fun with Bob and all his pretty girls.
AR: Haha. Yeah, Bob has some hotties.
JR: So anyway...
JR: What happens in your dorm room on an average night?
JR: Keep it clean...
AR: Haha, average night. Alright, about 6 PM I'm settled and relax for a bit watching Walker Texas Ranger
or something. I have a couple people visit usually a girl or two and then my neighbor CP, or Helium Dave, or
Ross my neighbor. then as the night progresses it rolls into conversation about when and where to party on any
given night.
AR: Then my roommate returns and bums everyone out because he has no sense of humor when sober.
AR: Then I get online for a bit before doing a little bit of work and going to bed.
JR: So you have some fun watching Kordell beat the crap out of some guys before you work?
AR: Yeah, it really gets me amped to attack my work. Either that or I watch King of the Hill.
JR: Who is your favorite talk show host and why?
AR: Conan, because he is the craziest man on TV and he'll never be canceled.
JR: Yes, yes.
JR: What is your favorite animated TV show and why?
AR: I would like to say Family Guy because of it's whackiness. But I like King of the Hill because I can
relate to them because I am a regular guy who hates hippies, charcoal food, and has a farmer's tan.
JR: OK
JR: How about 80's sitcom?
AR: MacGyver isn't a sitcom so, I'm going to have to go with Nightcourt.
JR: Good enough.
JR: Speaking of Macgyver, what was you favorite improvisation made by Angus?
AR: That's too tough to have just one.
JR: Talk about some highlights you remember.
AR: I mean MacGyver was unreal. He's the kind of guy you want in a situation like getting you out of
shopping with your mother or girl friends. I need a friend like that. It would be great.
JR: Indeed
JR: Alright, I'm out of questions.
AR: Sounds good
JR: Well, thanks for the interview.
AR: Yep
