Rudi North (full name Rudimentary North) is a character played by Shaun Diston . He is a self-described dirtbag who used to drive for Postmates and possesses the ability to life swap with people via throat punch (AKA the "dirtbag handshake"). After a brief 8-day stint at Target, Rudi was let go for exceeding the throat punch limit, which is zero. He then went on to work as a leaf blower in Los Angeles. He was again fired for throat punching.
While he lacks the time to discuss it, Rudi is also an immortal Speedster, born in 1600. He has been married and divorced at least a thousand times. He identifies as Jewish, a professional employee, and a fan favorite.
Rudi and Scott Aukerman became best friends after years spent in the Speed Force dimension together.
Through various throat punchings, Rudi has been the following:
Zoom security guard
Postmates driver
Target security guard
Earwolf engineer
LA County leaf blower
California Donuts donut shop owner
Christmas tree salesman/"tree guy"
A reindeer, likely Rudolph
Santa Claus
TV writer on the TV show Wrecked
Strip club bathroom attendant
The devil
Center for the Detroit Lions Frequently, Rudi has been known to come in hot.
