Jonny Manganello asks Hank Green about Windex, cute babies and mixed drinks

The Try Guys star's Ask Hank Anything episode, filmed in August 2025, works through six questions, from recycling on a burning planet to whether laughter adds years.

Does Mixing Alcohols Make You More Drunk? | JonnyCakes Asks Hank Anything

Complexly's home channel usually draws somewhere near 57,000 views a day across its shelf, and its one new upload arrived with more than 150,000 in its first 24 hours on its own.

That upload is the latest Ask Hank Anything, and the guest is Jonny Manganello of the Try Guys, credited in the title by his nickname, JonnyCakes. The chapters run from why we want to bite cute things to whether the Windex cure in My Big Fat Greek Wedding holds up, then on to recycling "even though the world is on fire," whether laughing helps you live longer, and finally the title question: does mixing alcohols make you drunker? The description notes the conversation was filmed in August 2025 and checked by a fact checker before it went out.

The comments are having a good time with it. Plenty of viewers say this is the first time they have learned that JonnyCakes has a real surname. Others suggest names for the cocktail the two improvise, with Windex the clear favorite, and some keep laughing about a stuffed toy called Big Yeti and the update Hank gives on it near the end. A puppy also turns up partway through, and viewers noticed Jonny trying to stay cool about it.

The series keeps doing its quiet work further back on the shelf, too. Aabria Iyengar's episode on sci-fi tropes and the human future has passed half a million views, and John Green's turn, where he asks his brother how he saw him as a kid, is closing in on a million.

Apart from this one release, the week was slower than the channel's usual, and the subscriber count held steady. Among the education channels near its size, English with Steve Ford and Geo All Day were the ones having big weeks.

Is anyone else learning Johnnycakes' real last name for the first time right this moment?

Question for Hank: What chair has been sat on by the most number of different people?

Is it possible to know this and how would you go about answering this (ie oldest chair or place with high tourism rates?)
