What is up with Jeff's Roommate?

He is Jeff's Snuffaluffagus.

CIA/FBI operative who's too lazy to rent a storage space, and it's best you forget we ever talked about this.

May have once existed. Is now a skeleton obscured by piles of clothes and a giant Samba de Amigo box.

Jeff is him, Fight Club style.

. . . ! !

The best stuff is hearing about Jeff's current and past roommates

All of the above

His name is Robert Paulson.

It's Vinny in a wig and fake mustache. Who himself is just Jeff with a fake Canadian accent and a monocle.

Wait, we're talking about Jeff Daniels, right? Because if it's Jeff Gerstmann, then his roommate is Time Travelin' Jeff circa 20XX.

Jeff seems to have a way of picking all the weirdest, most dangerous roommates he can. I think he does it deliberately, for the thrill man, for the thrill.

I'm imagining a Norman Bates scenario here.

Man, I wish my roommates would move their non-operational vehicle out of our driveway.

I miss Midnight Brown.

And now I'm trying to track down that NDX featuring The Ricker...

You know Breaking Bad? It's kinda like that.

It's actually Will Smith,

Has anybody besides Jeff ever seen him? Just sayin.

He IS the Ricker!

"Is Jeff's roommate still the one who works on cruise lines?" as he asks a bunch of people who aren't Jeff.

Wait are we talking about Chris with the white car?

Is it that time of year again to bring this up again?

I think we're talking about Brendan (of "Brendan goes to college" fame) here so Dirtbag is the correct answer. I think Jeff said Chris moved out a while ago - hence the reason why there aren't any new Midnight Brown songs recently.

I have that file. Send me a PM with your email and I'll send it if you can't find it online. Its the NDX from 02-07-11

It's actually Rick Dyer. He needed a place to stay.

I always heard Jeff made some decent coin on the Whiskey sale, why does he still have a roommate at his age? Unless... unless Jeff is taking in male suitors. :o

I like the scenario where Jeff has totally lost it and his roommate doesn't actually exist. Everyone at GB knows this too, but they all play along so they don't damage Jeff's psyche any further.

In the Collectshun video there was a bald guy in Jeffs house....Could that be him?

I think that might have been Chris (with the white car)

He's an assassin

Oh man

This was my exact thought. Hahahaha.

@erhard: WHOA! DEEP...

Dirtbag undercover CIA Agent who needs a place to store his stuff while working with the FBI to catch Rick "The Ricker" Peterson but doesn't exist because he's actually The Ricker himself.

Imaginary dirt bag who needs a place to keep his stuff.

California is really expensive for one. He's probably saving a lot of money doing like he does. He has a nice car too. Not everyone needs a crazy pad, especially if your house is mainly videogame storage and a place to play video games.

I voted for the top four.

Jeff's roommate sounds a lot like my roommate.

He's a plot device for the podcast to sell more stamps for stamps.com!

And Jeff is a Templar.

This is still the same roommate that put a deadbolt on his room and spray tanned the bathroom orange right? Dirtbag seems like too good a choice.

The guy who sells Jeff his weed.

Does anyone remember the guy Lazlo from the movie Real Genius? Sort of fits the description.

Deadbolt: yes; spray tan: older place, I think; probably another roommate.

And CBSi is Abstergo.

This explains so much...

He still lives with Jeff, I assume? Jeff has mumbled about clearing him out of the house for years now. It's been long enough they could probably claim common law marriage for the tax break. :D

And Giant Bomb is the animus?

The website is actually powered by a piece of Eden.

Jeff's roommate is just piece of the act. It's all an act, it's all a production set. That's not really Jeff's room. That's not really Jeff, but someone playing the role of Jeff. His real name is Magnus Svenson.

I thought we've been through this already.
