You forgot to put a comma after the name in the ryan object and you just need to pass the variable name to greet, like this:

var andrew = {
        name: "Andrew",
        greet:genericGreet
      }

      var ryan = {
        name: "Ryan",
        greet:genericGreet
      }

The way you did it passes the return value from that function and assigns it to greet, this means the greet value will be "Hi, my name is ".
