Yeah, Ryan is a retard, but is is on a way higher level than “young Jamie”. Ryan is producing a legit show with effects, intros, music, live face swap shit, all while being an integral part of the show. Jamie monitors sound levels of a podcast while occasionally googling something. JRE is not a show, it is a podcast. I could replace Jamie tommorow and you probably wouldn’t even notice, but I could not take Ryan’s job without a transition period and lots of learning. There is not a chance Jamie could do an episode of GOML.
