Pretty much. Ralph's a-logs (and I don't mean anyone who laughs at him, you should know the difference) expected him to shit on every Ralph's breath, like they do, anything else is "guarding" in their book. Just look back at how it went after Miami fuck-up. He was silent most of the time, because, really, Ralph just went downhill into irrelevancy, but people were sperging "wow, turns out Jim HAS internet fwends", because he kept his mouth shut. But then Ralph went on stream high and drunk beyond being operational and Jim laughed about it and they went "OMG DISAVOWED".
