I love talking about myself! Thanks for having me!

I see Jonny I click, simple.

Rainie is so damn good at active listening and asking important questions that drive the conversation forward in a meaningful way. I'm literally taking notes. Hearing how Rainie navigates conversations has been really helpful as someone on the spectrum trying to be better with this exact thing.

Tbh, I'm glad that Jonny is a "failed actor". His actual persona is far better than any written character.

Give Johnny a second try show!! I would also love to see Johnny and Rachel bake together

Petition to have Johnny as a rotating guest on YCSWU because he is an absolute delight 😊

Jonny's worry about kids only seeing perfect things on social media and feeling more depressed is really touching. Showing failures and process is important I think! Binging with Babish does it pretty frequently in a nice way imo

i love the way that raine is able to direct conversations and easily bring up previously mentioned topics

I’m a high school art teacher and I SO appreciate Johnny bringing up the issue of creativity being displayed in perfectly curated 1 min videos. One of my biggest challenges as a teacher is keeping students motivated and helping them to develop the ability to sustain focus and appreciate the process involved with creating things. What Johnny brings up is a really real problem young people are facing right now as a result of social media, I would love to see more videos of Johnnys process. I understand that due to algorithms, you still have to do those quicker videos, but a more behind the scenes vlog style series showing the process would be great to show the reality of creativity.

I always tought to be a JonnyCakes stan but after I watch him say that he would change his video in perspective to help depressed kids, I'm gonna definitely defend and protect this man to the world and beyond! He's a sweet cupcake who deserves only the best!

Jonny is so down on his work. Bringing joy, making food and art, these things should be important parts of society. Be proud of your craft Jonny!

The preschool with Jonny was one of my favorites.

Jonny is such a lovely addition to the tri guys! This era is the best.

Johnny is so damn delightful. I’m so glad that he’s out here being himself and doing a thing he loves!

Rainie is so great at interviewing!! Her questions add so much depth to the interview please don’t ever stop🤍

Love the conversation about failure. Being in your 20s high key sucks sometimes and I love hearing Rainie ask these questions. Not “how do I deal with failure” but “how did you deal with failure” Obsessed

jonny is a STAR. give him everything he wants and put him in everything

16:55 yesss please jonny we need videos like this on the internet. as a beginner baker, it does feel very demotivating when you see all these people make picture perfect cakes and desserts. i wanna know the behind, how long it takes, how many failures one went through to get that perfect dessert

so thankful that the true guys brought johnny cakes into my world. such a funny, talented person

Dude, the Ear Thing would be a freaking hit with kids! Or a Monster Cake kit for Halloween.

I could listen to Jonny talk endlessly. His humor makes me smile.

Okay, so I know try guys did illusion cakes, but I think we need a try guys (or try spouses) episode where they try out Jonny Cakes cake kit 😊 Like if Zach, Miles or Kwesi could make it then I feel like I could make it too 😂

Rainie is a freaking FIEND with those hard hitting questions! ❤

Rainie - your confidence and questions on the show has grown so much! I want a show where you are the official host !!

The try guys launched Johnnys career!!! They ARE the new BuzzFuzz!!!!! ❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

Sooooo we need to have another party for Auggie that Jonny CAN go to obvs

I love love love hearing that he embraced being himself and is happy to not have to fit a mold anymore 🥲

Behind the Cake is definitely a segment that needs to continue.. 🎂 😊

We need more Johnny's in this world!!! 💗

Maggie is so bubbly in this episode ! I also love her outfit☺️

To put you at ease I think the only reason Is It Cake? is big is because it’s played all day long at the dentists office 😂

WAIT! So Jonny actually started his online baker persona sorta on Without a Recipe? I shall rewatch.

Johnny talking about the most fascinating thing I've heard all week: "Stop me if this is boring." 💀

This was sooo good! I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I teared up...it was a roller-coaster of an emotion & I loved every minute of it! Jonny is so good with storytelling

really love these more casual interview style episodes! i love getting to know the various people that make up the Second Try Universe in this casual setting. it really does feel like friends hanging out but i enjoy the more purposeful nature of the conversation

OMG I was just thinking last week about how much I wanted Jonny on the podcast!! He’s so naturally funny and always a great time.

Jonny is such a delight! So glad he's part of the Try fam now.

I'd love to try one of the cool toilets that I've seen in Korea and Japan! The Try Guys should Without Instructions using Jonny's cake kit.

Jonny - do a kit for succulent cupcakes!!!

Petition for Jonny's new show to be one on one baking classes with the entire crew! 😂 Matt and Rainie 1st! 🙌

Okay see matt and i are two virgos that think the exact same when johnny was asking about ideas i was like oh maybe a cat, immediately matt got it, when johnny said no animals i thought well a plant would be nice, again matt is on it. We love matt

Rainie needs an interview show! She asks such interesting questions.

Rainie is such a good interviewer, this lady is going places!!!

I wish this episode was three hours long! It was way too short!

i love that they just kept putting Jonny in videos after Phoning It In. living for this era of second try

I would love to see a holiday themed cake kit. Maybe making a snow globe?

I haven’t watched the pod in a while (I’m a Spotify girly)- but Maggie glowwwwws, she’s radiant ✨

The man with the cakes!!! Finally!! We stan Johnny Cakes!!!

I think Matt and Jonny are going to be best friends

I just wanna say "Margaret you look gorgeous girl!, love the outfit and whole vibe"

rainie is the QUEEN of coming up with introspective and insightful questions!!! 👏👏👏

35:40 YES JOHNNY embrace that star power!! i've had my fingers crossed for johnny to guest someday and share his failed-actor-turned-baker journey and i'm really happy it was matt and maggie who got to talk w him abt these stories. it's been amazing going from WAR's first cake ep w johnny as a special judge to him becoming a regular fixture in the try universe; i'll never forget the thrill of pride i felt when johnny was on is it cake and i'm happy he gets to flex that netflix is the one who hit him up first 😤as they should! this was both a wholesome and encouraging ep in a lot of ways. i also really appreciated johnny and maggie's insights on rejection during those "periods of transition" (28:32) since i feel like their convo reflecting my feelings throughout my 20something existential crises ^^; ik i still have a lot of chances to figure my stuff out but it felt nice to have folks verbalize that feeling of internal/external expectations. thanks for this wonderful guest ep!!

The enemies to lovers that open up a bakery in a small town idea Matt had for Jonny falling in love is a Hallmark movie we need now. And it has to be gay, of course.

MR. CAKES???? ON YCSWU???? A truly amazing day!!

Johnny's vibe is everything I need... always. 😍

Petition for Johnny to be an official you can sit with us member. This episode made me feel so heartwarmed. I also want more content with Augi!!

Love seeing Jonny on every Try Guys anything ❤️

i love how rainie and maggie ask questions! always so thoughtful. loved learning more about jonny! and loved matts idea with the succulent cakes. cant wait to see more of jonny!

Just spit out my water in the office at Rainie saying you need someone to say let’s go play tennis

Maggie is just the most magically beautiful person inside and out.

Not gonna lie I think Jonny is such an interesting person and I love his attitude about hey people fail don't be afraid to. Just keep at it and don't give up! Also I LOVE the idea of the cartoon cake being a kit. I know so many people, along with teens and kids, who would love to make it! The burger is also a great idea! Also for a random cake idea I'm not sure why but I've always thought a large pickle jar would be interesting though I don't know how many people would be interested in making or eating it lol

i need jonny as a recurring podcast guest or hosting his own podcast or him and rainie together because her questions were crushing this interview and i could listen to his stream of conscious hilarity for hourssssss

listening to jonny talk is so comforting. almost therapeutic tbh

saw jonny and clicked so fast! been a fan of him since is it cake. hes such a delight!

Johnny, I would love to see your whole process for cakes in a video :) I love creators like Rachel Maksy who show that there's ablot of work And frustrations behind a tiktok or insta post. Makes It feel more normal to not get everything right the first time.

Omg Jonny Cake's mom was recognized in court as being famous for "Hi my gay fans" Awww how adorable!!! Yay Jonny Cakes and his adorable mom who I had no idea was also a lawyer wow so cool!

Loved this episode!! Johnny's insights are so funny and insightful I love him! The vibes of everyone in the pod were fantastic in general!

I would absolutely call Maggie for my contracting needs 😂

I love seeing Jonny 😭 he’s so relatable

I also think it's important to have videos of you screaming F*CK, JonnyCakes

I love Jonny. Such a great guest!

On cake kit: Little succulents Robot toy (like the rectangular, 1960s style aesthetic) Toy vehicles (like Tonka trucks)

Jonny is such a funny treat ✨

Great interview! I love that he acknowledged that kids think their life isn’t as perfect as what ghetto see on social media and he she post some of his projects that don’t turn out well, the first time. What a good heart!!

My 80 year old mom and I watch Is It Cake? We enjoyed it very much and was sad when there were no more episodes on Netflix. I would watch a show of JC making cakes. Love him in the Try Guys videos.

how can you not cancel all prior obligations to go to Augie's birthday?!?!!?

I just feel like Johnny would be so fun in voice acting, it’s different from being on screen, but his voice is so distinctive that I feel like he would do so well

i literally ADORE jonny. i cannot get enough of him 😭❤️

I love this podcast, Jonny is an amazing person!

Have the podcast crew try to make one of Johnnys cake kits and have him judge the best one without knowing who made which one 🎂

Love JonnyCakes in everything he does. Especially phoning it in. But also everything!

YES to all the Johnny content we've been getting. He's such a funny talented man I hope he's on more episodes of this and Johnny Bakes.

Jonny didn’t fail to be come an actor, he’s just on strike!

Instead of calling the shoe cake “convarse” you could call it “Jonverse”

I always though that Jonny was trained at CIA (no, not the politically problematic one). He is amazingly talented. I enjoyed hearing about the the man, the legend behind those fantastic cakes. He is articulate and just as fascinating as all his cakes. BTW hearing about Auggie (the pre-schooler) made me misty-eyed. Not sure when this YCSWU was filmed, but Jonny could always ZOOM with Auggie and have a special cake/toy delivered? Yes, those parents are raising a very special human.

My favorite way to make Vegan Butter cream is to add a citrus flavoring like Key Lime Butter cream. I use Miyoko’s European Style Cultured Vegan Butter. I reduce the sugar and the lime juice really cuts the sweetness down.

I just want Jonny to be a regular on this podcast.

I love the serious topic at the end. Rainie we're the same we're not dating and not that our priority. 😂😅

AT LAST JONNY IS SITTING WITH US!!!

Loved learning more about Jonny!!

I am loving watching Jonny in Try content.

I want a bon appetite Claire style show for Jonny

I sincerely enjoy watching Jonny. He could be in the zone and doing cakes or he could be flinging himself out of a plane, I don't care, I just want ALL the Jonny!!!

I need a video of professional chef/pastry chef vs Matt lol kinda like the pro chef vs home chef please

Wow I had no idea try guys discovered Jonny before Is It Cake. What an icon.

Totally vote for seeing the behind the scenes (failures) of making hyper realistic cakes!!!!!

It’s nice meeting the real Johnny. Just being himself. Not putting on for entertainment 😎

Now we want Kwesi on this podcast!

I really, really enjoy this episode!! Such a interesing topics. And Raine! Always great questions! Lots of love to you guys

Wow! We got to see Jonny’s origins and we didn’t even know it!
