How Old Are Jake And Johnnie

So, I was at this coffee shop the other day, right? And there's this couple in front of me, ordering their drinks. The barista asks for their names, and the guy says, "Jake and Johnnie." I swear, I almost choked on my own spit. I mean, come on, who names their kids after a whiskey blend? But hey, that's not what we're here to talk about today.

You're probably wondering, "What's the deal with Jake and Johnnie's age?" Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into the great age debate of our time. Okay, maybe not that great, but still, it's a fun mystery to solve.

Jake from State Farm

Let's start with Jake. You know, the guy from those State Farm commercials. He's been around for what feels like forever, right? But in reality, he's not that old. Jake is played by Kevin Mimms, who was born in 1983. That makes him 40 this year. I know, I know, it's hard to believe. He looks like he's been selling insurance since the days of horse-drawn carriages.

But here's where it gets interesting. Kevin Mimms has been playing Jake since 2011. That means Jake has been around for 11 years in our collective consciousness. So, while Kevin is 40, Jake is... well, he's 11. It's like having a pet that's been with you since kindergarten.

Johnnie Walker

Now, let's talk about Johnnie. You know, the walking, talking whiskey bottle. He's been around even longer than Jake, right? Johnnie Walker was first created in 1820 by a guy named John Walker. So, Johnnie is 202 years old. That's older than my grandma's house!

But here's the thing, Johnnie Walker isn't just one person. It's a brand, a blend of whiskies. The guy in the commercials is played by Rob McElhenney, who was born in 1977. That makes him 45 this year. So, while Johnnie Walker the brand is 202, Johnnie Walker the guy is 45. It's like having a friend who's been around forever, but they're actually just really good at making new friends.

So, who's older?

Well, that depends on how you look at it. If we're talking about the brand, then Johnnie Walker is older. But if we're talking about the guy in the commercials, then Jake from State Farm is older. It's like the age-old debate of whether it's better to be a tortoise or a hare. You know, if the tortoise was a whiskey brand and the hare was an insurance salesman.

Anyway, I hope that clears up the great age debate. And next time you're at a coffee shop, and you hear someone order a drink for "Jake and Johnnie," you can smile knowingly and say, "Ah, they're both older than they look." And then you can proceed to explain the whole thing to the confused barista. You're welcome.
