Joe Hesselman, one of Runde’s parts guys, obliged me by taking part in a quick Q & A session today. Joe is one of the people that say “good morning” every morning I come into work. In hopes to get an understanding of this sincere and noble man, we sat down and had a nice chat.

21.
I race cars, I’m in the middle of building up my BMW for ra
cing. I also like to play video games, I’m into Call of Duty 4.You race for praise or keeps?
Some races give out some money, usually not a whole lot, mostly just for fun. But I play for keeps … I play for keeps.
You like to watch movies at all?
Yes. Who doesn’t?
What’s your favorite movie?
My favorite movie that I recently watched is Boiler Room.
Oh that was one of Ben Affleck’s good movies… one of his FEW good movies… He probably had 3 decent movies out of about 200…
That would be the one.

It depends on where I’m at. Mostly I listen to rock and rap. I can’t stand the radio.

The Packers and the Brewers.
How are they doing?
Uh… they are doing ok.
Ok? Is that your way of saying they are stinking it up bigtime?
…
Who is your favorite super hero or villain?
I’d have to go with Batman.
Months ago we interviewed your partner in the parts department, Jason Keane. He said that his favorite super hero was Superman, so we dubbed him “Superman of the parts department” but maybe now there is a wonder team in the parts department.

Thank you for the interview Joe! Have a good one.
Thank you, anytime.
