Is this genuine?

My 2 suggestions are:

• Using vacuum cleaners to herd cats. (It may not be completely effective, but I think you could get a result.)

• Using an airport security X-ray machine to search for needles in a hay stack. Just get a few dozen plastic totes, stuff the hay stack into them, and scan them for bone/metal needles! How hard could that be?

I’ve been watching the later season episodes as they’ve been uploaded to youtube (I’m so glad the full episodes are back) and I noticed that once the B Team got fired the producers seemingly started forcing Jamie to be much more animated than he was before

He’s still definitely a counterbalance to Adam and much calmer, but it feels like they made him perform much more “excitedly” if that makes sense

My guess is that they thought that would help fix the gap left by the more “goofing off” thing that the B Team had going on a lot of the time?

I like the show OK, and found myself screaming at the TV set more than a couple times, but I guess that’s kind of the appeal.

But overall I feel like the show and especially Adam just made Jamie into a punching bag, and they made fun of him for being weird and awkward, but never anything about his character.

Which Adam kinda comes off like he doesn’t have a lot of.

Has anyone on the cast or crew ever mentioned why they went from adressing someone off camera to looking at the camera when explaining the details of the myths?
