Treehouse Guest TeacherI'm sorry, I need help again. This js is crazy.
I don't know what to do here. Example in challenge is different from anything shown in the video tutorial. Tried a couple dozen different things, and after half an hour of fumbling like an idiot, I give up. Somebody please come to my rescue and tell me what I'm doing wrong.

So in each of the "andrew" and "ryan" vars you need to add the name method and set to the genericGreeting function. So you need to add greet: genericGreet and remember to separate methods by commas.

You are attempting to access the function genericGreet(), within your two name variables.
In the last video he mentions that when referencing an outside function, you are not calling the function, you are merely stating that it is the same. to accomplish this we drop the () from the function when we set it to our method within the variable.
So in your name variables, we will create a method greet: that references the function genericGreet.
So:
var name { greet: function }
