Im gonna make a bumper sticker that says
"I Yiff For The Ricker"

Amazing episode of the podcast. Dude is hilarious!

The pub trivia rant was amazing. One of the funniest things I've herard in a while!

Who the hell is this beautiful, beautiful man?! I spent an hour googling him last night but I couldn't find diddly squat! 

This man is golden.....Cocaine couch? The fuck? Need more of this dude!

Dude was incredible. 

The ricker origin story: Hes Jeffs childhood imaginary friend who used to help Jeff with his problems, he was brought into the real world when Ryan stopped letting Nintendownloads be read on the Bombcast. Now he works to insure the dominance of the Nintendownload Xpress and secure Jeff's well deserved revenge. 
 
Everything above is accurate and not a crazy idea dreamnt up by my appreciation for Jeff.

I was extremely confused the entire podcast. I knew it was a joke, but...I didn't get it.

It's like Deliberate Misunderstanding Theater. It helps if you know about furries, yiffing, Nigel Mansell, and the annoyance of being at a bar doing trivia night when you're not doing trivia night.  Meet me and about thirty other like-minded people at the Courtyard Mariott and we'll help explain it. Bring some towels. The manager won't give us any more. "

"The Ricker" once made an appearance during On the Spot. That episode can be seen here (yes, I'm recommending it). And for those of you who think it's just an act: think again.

Oh god yes, this is great! Like seriously, I think after the fall release schedule plays out and we have a fall off in game releases, I think Ricker needs to make an appearance on the bombcast.

A good friend of mine (some of you may remember him as open-wheel racing enthusiast, “The Ricker”) passed away recently and it’s been…rough.

Sad times :(

I just heard. RIP

Truly sad, my condolences. Keep your head up, @jeff!

I hope wherever he is now, there is plenty of Diet Rite and reruns of shows with Pam Dawber. RIP RICKER.

RIP. He seemed like a really funny guy on NDX, must've been great to know him.

RIP.

I'm glad I still have the old NDX episodes a button click away..

RIP
